LABOR STATISTICS.
Continued from page 81

number of pounds per COW in the diff
ferent factories was as follows: SO TBS,
los his, 127 lbs, 12S TBS, 1873 TBS, 13s
lbs. 40 TBS, 40 TBS. IA TBS. 100 lbs,
16O TBS. 166 lbs, l67 TBS, 1863 TBS. 40 lbs,
$50 his As the length of running time
is not uniform in this industry, the va
riations in the amount of cheese made
per COW in the different factories is due
more to the length of the time run
than 10 the daily average of milk fur
nished per COW.
The average number of pounds per
COW in all the factories was IA 2-3. The
average number of cows per factory
was 2t2. The milk for this 562, 715
pounds of cheese cost s50,649.15, or .
cents per pound Of cheese manufact-
urcd. There were received for the prod
uct SOL, a05.25, or an average of IL cents
Per pound. The amount paid patrons
for milk for the season of about four
months averaged s12.66 per COW, and
the total value of production, including
waste product, averaged s15.47 per COW.
Six factories with 1900 cows produced
26T, 100 pounds of cheese, or 167 pounds
per COW. -.-..-
The wages of the AZ operatives in the
cheese factories, including the milk col
lectors, averaged about the same as in
the creameries, that is, in the factories
the operatives received generally from
S1.75 to 81 per day. while collectors re-
ceived from 500 to $50 per month. The
factories operated on the average about
four months, and the total amount paid
in wages was S6772 All wages men
toned in these dairy articles are re-
garded as exclusive of board.
The market for the cheese manufact-
ured Is mostly in this State and the
supply is not equal to the demand. One
or two Of the returns from cheese fac
tories gave a rather pessimistic view o!
this industry while the remainder spoke
in terms of encouragement Whether
the cheese industry is profitable or not
to the patrons may be question. but
there is no question as to the profitable
ness of manufacturing butter and sell
ing cream in associated dairying.
The printed report will not be sent
out for several days.

Y. l.. Trouant of the firm Of Trouant
x Bates, has very interesting relic
In The shape of a Masonic badge of
bySonc days. He has had Ii in his
possession for more than 20 years and
1t was handed down to him from his
grandfather. Elijah Pierce. who picked
it up on the island occupied by the
Oldtown Indians. more than 30 years
ago. The badge is of solid silver and
was apparently made from silver
com about the size of a half dollar by
hammering it into the proper shape.
In rough workmanship several of the
emblems of the Blue lodge have been
engraved upon one of the surfaces The
inscription, mo. 175" is also cut into
the metal. This is thought to have
been the number of the lodge of which I
the owner was a member. On the
other side of the badge is the name,
T. Cay or Guy also the date 1869.
which has been changed over to 1879
Tor some reason. Mr.. Trouant values

DEPENDS upon EARLY VOTE.
Frye Determined to Hold Bill as
Unfinished Business.
QUAY PRO-BEvERlDGE CON-.

Washington, Dec. 10. - When the
statehood bill was reached in the senate
on the second day from its set time
there was brisk exchange between
Mr.. Quay, who favors the omnibus bill,
and senators who oppose it, regarding
its consideration.
Mr.. Bcveridge asked that the bill go
over He said few senators were ready
to proceed, as there had been little OPP
portunity for senators to inform them
selves, the committee report not being
presented.
Mr.. Quay offered to let the bill go
over if a time was fixed for taking a
vote.
Mr.. Bate, representing the Demo-
Gratis, said his side was ready to vote
The suggestion brought out protests
from Messrs. Beveridge, Lodge and
| Hale.
Other senators made suggestions
about reasonable time to prepare for
discussion, and finally Mr.. Quay said:
"lf the Republicans can lie to the peo-
pie about the admission of territories
in their platform, they can lie about
every other proposition in the plat
form. The air was full of rumors
about how the bill was to be defeated,
not by votes, but by obstruction; that
from day to day the vote will be post
poned until one by one the votes for the
omnibus bill are picked off"
Senator Quay has been particularly
careful to see that the parliamentary
standing of the bill should be under
stood, and his remark brought from
President pro tenn Frye the statement;
"The bill remains the unfinished bust
ness if it is in the power of the chair to
keep it there, and the chair thinks it
is"
There probably will be an attempt to
kill the bill by talking it to sleep, and
the statehood champions will try soon
err or later to force vote. If they can
do so in reasonable time, they will
win; if not, they will lose.

JAG ASYLUM PROPOSED.
Following The Iowa Plan Adoptsi Two
Years Ago.

Years ago.
TopelSe, Dec. 15.-Representative W..
S. Finley, of Franklin county, will try
to get law through the legislature
this winter providing for the treatment
of inebriates II think the Iowa topper
law would be good thing for Kansas
to adopt" said he. Confirmed inc
briates should be looked after. The
Iowa law has proven successful. twas
passed two years ago. Under 1t, the
board of control of state institutions
there has set aside department in
each insane asylum to be known as the
department for the detention and
treatment of psomaniacs, inebriates
AMI persons addicted TO the use of NOR
phine or other narcotics.
"While Kansas is a prohibition state,
it has it's share of old topers. under
stand from druggists that the con-
sumption of morphine, cocaine and
other narcotics is increasing rapidly.
Something should be done to stop IT..
A law similar to the Iowa law, l be-
lieve, would do it. The confirmed
inc briates could be cured. The thought
of the bare possibility of being sent to
an asylum would deter young people
from the use of narcotics.

Foot And Mouth Disease.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE depart

the house committee to aid in stamp
ing out the foot and mouth disease
among cattle in New England, asking
that an emergency appropriation bill
of 81 200, 900 be made. The committee
is advised that there are about 100
herds which, in the opinion of the de-
partment must be slaughtered. De-
partment officials believe the disease
was brought through hay shipped
from abroad.

RAILWAYS Use Legal Right.

Topeka, Dec. 15.-There is great
scarcity of coal in some portions OF
Kansas. Considerable suffering has
resulted, and much more will ensue
unless relief comes at once. In Kiowa
county there is practically no fuel to
be had. The same condition prevails
in Pratt county, although on smaller
scale. The complaint is made that
the railroads confiscatc to their own
use nearly all the coal that is being
shipped TO the extreme western por-
ton of the state.

Ara,n.t stea m,hlp sub.ldy.

London, Dec. lathe report OF the
select committee of the House of Com
mons on steamship subsidy has issued.
Its tenor is against the principle of
granting subsidies. The committee finds
that British ship-owners have not suf-
fered much from the fostering effects of
subsidies paid by foreign governments;
that subsidies are merely minor factors,
and that commercial skill and industry
were the major factors in the recent de-
velopment of the shipping and trade OF
foreign countries, notably Germany.

The Venerable Grow speaks.

Washington, Dec. r. The feature Of
the house proceedings was thought
full speech by the venerable Galusha A.
Grow, of Pennsylvania, on the rela
tions between labor and capital. A,
the end of the present session he retiref
at the age of 70, after career in pub
lie life extending over half century
His first speech in the house was or
"Man's Right to the Soil" He was tho
author of the free homestead act. His
speech is regarded as his valedictory to
public life, and was listened to with
close attention. His conclusion was
that some sort.of cooperation between
labor and capital was the only solution
of the impending problem.
