What the Creamery Pays.

E. P. Watson informs us that
Cornelius Mccarthy received from
the Morris creamery for milk during
the month of March a little over $l25
ger hundre / and that Theodore
Linstad received for cream during
the month of March $36 80, which
would be at the rate of $435.84 for a
year. This is certainly all that could
be desired, and the farmers of this
vicinity should patronize this in
stltution and make it success.

OF MANY MINDS
COUNCIL COULD NOT AGREE ON
FOWLER PROPOSITION.

After Long Discussion, the Council
Abandons the Proposition, and
takes up the Franchise Question.
For the past three weeks, the COM
mittee appointed by the council to
investigate and report on the PROPOSE
ton made by the Fowler Electric
Co. to pump the water for the village
water works system with electric
power has been spending great deal
of time and worry over the matter
There have been inr umerable com
mittee meetings, and the original
proposition has been changed IN
many respects, but at the council
meeting last night, the committee
seemed to be further than ever from
being able to make definite report.
There's we're really three reports
presented. John House ADD the VII
lage attorney concurred in report
recommending that the pumping
offer be not accepted on the main
ground that it was not o. enough adj
vantage to the village to warrant the
council in surrendering the control Of
the waterworks system to a private
corporation, but on the other hand
recommending that the Fowler
Electric Co. be given a satisfactory
franchise. Councillors Long and
Hogan each gave dissenting opinions
orally, and the whole matter was
then discussed in open council.
When it became apparent that the
council would net accept the pump
ing proposition, especially as they
we're themselves DESTROYS that they
act unanimously in the matter, then
Mr.. Fowler renewed his proposition
in such a way as to cut out the
pumping of city water, and. leave
fifteen year contract and franchise IN
return for four free arc lights.
The committee could make no
unanimous report on this, so the
committee was discharged and the
whole council appointed con mittee
to investigate and report on this new
proposition.
The report of the library board was
read to the council, and on motion a
vote of thanks was rendered the
board for their efficient management

Comparison Of Our Fleet With Germany
Causes Trouble. What Dewey Did.
Washington, April 22.-The change
in the plans OF the American fleet
which originally we're to go direct to
Marselles to greet President Loubet
aud ignore Kiel, to which port the
feet had been invited by The kaiser
Is due to the Intervention OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The plan to slight
Kiel was, it is said, due TO the insti-
CATION OF Admiral Dewey, who has a
most intense hatred for Germany
and Its ruler. When the plan reach
ed the ears OF the president he imme'
diately wired his orders to visit Kiel
and abandon Marsailles.
1t was President Roosevelt, too,
who, on the eve OF his trip through
the west, issued an order which II car
ried out according to his very pro-
nounced wishes will, in some measure
it is hoped, put stop to the talk as
to the possibilities Of a war between
this country and Germany. Ever
since the war between Spain and
America there has been much talking
among army officers as to the COM
parative merits OF the navies OF the
two nations, and probabilities OF the
result II the countries should ever
clash.
In view OF the friendly relations,
which no one has the slightest reason
to doubt, exists between the two
powers, it would seem the height OF
folly to precipitate trouble through
the senseless talk OF a few unthinking
men. The president is reported as
having said that he could foresee
danger II this feeling was allowed to
go unchecked, and this danger would
take the shape of jealous rivalry,
which, II allowed to grow and -four
ish, would be the cause OF a most
unfriendIy feeling being engendered,
to say nothing OF more serious trou-
BILE. While the presidents wishes
may not be carried out to the fullest
as he wishes his expressions cannot
fail to check the unnecessary talk.

BRITISH CONSUL PRAISES
METHODS OF AMERICANS.
Attributes Country's Prosperity to
Qualities Which Are Peculiar
to the United States.

London, April 23.-The British
Consul at Chicago, W. Wyndham, in
his annual report on Chicago and the
whole consular district, gives a glow.
ing account OF the great increasing
prosperity thereof and pays high
tribute to American methods.
He expresses the opinion that the
progress OF the country is largely due
to "the opportunity both in business
and in employment in this large,
young country; the encouragement
given to workmen; the rewarding oil
merit; the intimate acquaintance OF
the heads OF firms with the work OF
their subordinates; the keen enthusi-
assn shown by the workmen in the in
terests OF their employers and 10 the
absolute fearlessness on the part OF
the business man in venturing on ex-
periments, either in machinery or
system, that may be brought before
him.
Mr. Wyndham urges the impor-
lance OF careful study of the bust
ness and manufacturing methods of
the United States, and the adoption
Of those which are suitable to the
country where trade is sought for.
He considers that such study is in
dispensable to holding trade where
English merchants are active.
This study must, however, be pro-
longed for several months, as ashort
stay OF day or two in the big cities,
so often deemed sufficient by
European visitors, is "worse than
useless as any one not accustomed
to their ways at first only sees the
bad points and learns nothing"

ARMY SUICIDES INCREASING.
Colonel SprOle Was the Tenth Philip
pine Victim.

pine Victim.
Washington, April 24.-Lieutensnt
Colonel Henry W. Sprole, who shot
himself through the head while tenn
porarily insane, is the tenth army
officer who has committed suicide in
the Philippines. Besides these ten,
six are entered on the records as hav-
ing met death by drowning. In sew
eral cases the drowning is believed to
have been Intentional, but the proof
was not clear enough to put them In
the suicide class. In nearly every in
stance the suicide was directly due to
temporary insanity, which was gen.
orally the result Of exposure, poor
food and water and disease, caused
by sleeping on the ground in a tropi-
calcountry. The constant heat, day
and night, has also proved very try
ing on the nerves and many OF the
officers whose minds did not give
way under the strain, broke down in
health and were invalided home The
vile Filipino drink, vino, is one ofthe
chief causes of insanity and suicides
among the privates, but it is said the
officers seldom drink it. On the 9th
er hand, the officers are more affect
ed by their new environment than
are the privates and suffer more for
want OF the comforts and compan-
ionship to which they have been ac-
customed. Lonesomeness is saidto
have contributed largely to the men,
tai weakness that drove several OF
the younger officers to suicide.
Fifty-eight privates in the regular
army and fifteen volunteers had
committed suicide in the Philippines
up to July 4, 1902, when the last re-
port was made. There have been
four or five suicides since then in the
ranks. The total death roll in the
Philippines is now close to 5000 Of
Aeers- -men;5 sixtY-HiHe officers
were killed in action and forty-seven
died from wounds and disease.

seph Kyle Ricksy, said to be the orig

noticed by several persons walking
along Twenty-fifth street by the Hoff-

his assistance He took him by the
arm and asked il he was i'll, but the
colonel was unable to speak. The
policeman fairly carried him few

called physician. An ambulance
was summoned, but before the doc
tors arrived GoionefRickey wasdead
His lips were not burned and the
physician called expressed the opin-
ion that heart disease was the cause
OF death.
Colonel Hickey was bornin Illinois,
but removed to Missouri when very
young. He was a lobbyist in Jeffer-

high in the estimation of the state
politicians. He afterward went to
