Frank Duffy Of Philadelphia and James
z. Grimes OF Galveston. who are leading
the 6ght for the Brotherhood Of Carpenters
and Joiners, at once attempted TO force the
night IN the convention as soon as the re-
port had been read, but President Gompers
saw the storm clouds gathering and sug-
gested that consideration Of the matter be
POSTPONED until tomorrow on account of
other important business demanding atten-
tion today.
The convention at this time was IN an
uproar, with a score of delegates demand
ing recognition, but President Gompefs
maintained his composure and called Dele

the floor and stated that the special com
mittee appointed yesterday to Investigate

stated with much feeling that nc, too, was
willing to have the committee discharged
and the course Mr.. Gompers outlined I'm
mediately adopted. Chairman Lennox at
this point announced the noon recess and
declared the convention adjourned until

DAIRY POINTERS.
Scientific Methods Will Make the Milk
Business Go in Kansas-Use
OF Disinfectants.

The average New York market for
week ending September 6 was 1881 cents.
Market steady with upward tendency.
As dairying DEVELOPS as a science in
Kansas, the farmer is having bis COWS
come fresh in the fall so the cream
making can be mostly done in the
winter when help is cheaper and the
price higher, while other work is not so
pressing.
The hand separator method Of gather
ing cream has been hailed as a great ad-
vance in dairyibg. There is only one
great danger in 1.-THE danger Of
neglectiug the cream and running its
quality for butter. The remedy is plain.
Keep your cream cans, separator, your
hands and all utensils clean, and make
your deliveries as often as IS necessary
to get cream TO station in perfect cOndi-
ton.
Every dsiryman IN the state Is
interested in the quality of butter which
goes out OF Kansas. 1t means good or
poor prices to him. Good clean cream
makes good butter. Poor cream means
poor prices. These facts ought to ring
like a clarion call to every man who IS
milking q COW. If the dairy business OF
Kansas is to last under the hand sepa-
rator, dairymen must remember this
Disinfectants are a good thing in the

Sherman dined at his house and we
got to talking over the capacity Of differ
ent types Of soldiers and the General
happened to say that if there were ever
another war and he we're to have a com
mand he would endeavor to get as many
railroad men as possible under him. I
asked him why and he said because on
account Of their profession they have de-
veloped certain qualities which are es
sential IN a soldier. In the first place
they are accustomed to taking risks.
There are great many men who are
naturally brave but, who being entirely
unaccustomed TO taking risks are at first
appalled, by them. They are accustomed
to enduring hardships; they are ac-
customed to relying upon their own re-
sponsibility; they are accustomed to If

HIS HEAD IS SHOT AWAY.
George Cork, Of Colby, Accidental
ly Kills Himself.
GOOdIand Trainmen Find His Body In
side Raflroad Fence One Nile
East OF CoIby-Cork Had
Been Hunting

The almost headlesz body of George
Cork, Of Colby. vas found inside the
railroad fence one mile east Of that city,
Tuesday evening, by Conductor Clark
Hodgkinson.
Cork was known to have gone hunting
rabbits east Of the town, Monday, and
not returning at nightfall, his friends
feared that some accident had befallen
him.
Tuesday a searching party was sent
out, who, after long days search cane
upon the body just as it had been dis
covered by the train crew.
The coroner Of Thomas county was
summoned who took charge Of the body,
and from the circumstances and indica-
tons the shooting was accidental, but
Just how Geo. Cork met his death DO
one shall ever know.
The body Of Cork was seen in the
morning by Conductor HOdgkinsOn.
Trainmaster G. B. Lane was in the ca
booss. At the point where the body was
afterward found HOdgkinsOn happened
to look out and seeing a body, face up, "
ing inside the fence, exclaimed, Whats
that" thinking that it might be the
body Of a dead man, because his head
looked bloody; but Mr.. Lane dispelled
his suspicion by remarkiDg, ats only a
tramp, with a red handkerchief OvOr his
face taking a nap"
When HOdgkinson returned with a
train In the evening he watched fer the
same object and it was there. The train
was stopped and the almost .headless
body Of George Cork was found, aud
what appeared to Mr.. Lane to be a red
handkerchief was the mangled head and
face covered with. blood.
Indications showed the tragedy to be
accidental 1t is thought that he had
climbed the wires near post and jump
ed Of on the side Of the right Of way
and falling, the butt of his gun struck
the ground and went of. After the dis
charge the gun must have fallen TO the
ground; for its barrels contained earth
In their ends.
The charge took effect diagOnally
above the nose making a wound as clean
as the incision Of a knife. The eyeball
was even cut in two, and some Of the
brains blown from his skull hung upon
the wires Of the fence.
One report says that Mr.. Cork was
deputy sheriff Of Thomas county and an
other that he was hackman for the Opelt
hotel.
The findings Of the cOrOner's jury are
not yet reported to this paper.
