PREDICTS LOWER PRICES.
Agent of Agricultural Department Says
Anti OIeo Bill Did Not Increase
Cost OF Butter,

Topeka, Kan, June 7.-R. A. Pear
son, assistant chief of the dairy di-
vision, bureau of animal industry,
of the United States department of
agriculture, does not agree with
with those who claim that the recent
advance in the price of butter was
due to the operations of the So
called Creamery trust or the pas
sage Of the circuit oleomargarine bill.
He believes that it resulted from the
small production of butter during
the past IL months. Now that the
pastures in the dairy states are be-
coming good he thinks that within
the next four weeks the output of
butter will increase to such an ex-
tent as to force down the price ma
terial1y.

Trial Girrs Beauty Does Not
Count Against Her.

ST. Paul, Mimi, June THE SUI
preme court of Minnesota has de-
cided that a girls beauty is not to be

beauty was what Influenced the jury.

trial and the verdict stands.

Irish Nationalist Created Great Disorder
In the House of Commons by His
Attack on Gen. kitchener

London, June Elm accordance
with King Edwards message to the
house of commons, the government
leader, A. j. Balfour, asked for a vote
OF $4,000 to Lord Kitchener. AS a
remarkable coincidence. parliament

thanks and 10000 to the same gem
eral for his services in Egypt.
John Dillon, Irish nationalist, led
the opposition in behalf of the ma
tionalists. Mr.. Dillon said he and his
friends absolutely objected to the
vote, because they were opposed to
the policy of the war in South Africa
and the conduct of the campaign,
which involved wholesale devastation
of the country, the burning of farms
and sacrifice of life. William Red
mond, Irish nationalist, caused a
scene of great disorder by remarhng
that Lord Kitchener would go down to
history as a general who had made
war on women and children" This
remark called forth loud cries Of
Withdraw" and appeals to the chair
man to call Mr.. Redmond to order.
The chairman said the expression
used was not disorderly but ma
jority of the house refused to listen
any further to Mr.. Redmond and in
terrupted him with all kinds Of
shouts. After a quarter of an hour
spent by Mr.. Redmond in fruitless
endeavor to gain hearing, the clo-
sure was moved. The closure was
adopted by 273 to 1873 votes and the
grant of 100000 to Lord Kitchener
was carried by $50 to A votes. The
minority consisted of Irish national
lists and two or three radicals.
