HOW 1T LOOKS TO SOME.
CASE CONTINUED
Preacher Who Killed His Son
Not Tried at Calhoun.
Mr.. r. p. Morris, OF Paducah, One
of the Witnesses in The Case.

Calhoun, Ky, Sept. 29.-The case
against w. W. Armer, for the murder of
his son, was continued in the circuit
court here until the January term.
The defendant filed several aflidavits
in support of motion for change of
venue. The commonwealth filed counter
affidavits and the court heard oral testi-
mony ON the subject and decided that
the defendant could get fair trial, over
ruling the motion.
Afiidavits of what could be proved by
absent witnesses were then filed in order
to secure continuance. These absent
witnesses are said to be in Illinois, Tex
as, Dawson Springs, Paducah, and Null
enberg county. This the commonwealth
would not only have TO admit the wit
nesses would so swear, but that the
statement would be true. This would
of course, kill the whole case and merely
result in tee confinement of the defend
ant in the asylum for brief period, and
the commonwealth was forced to agree
to a continuance.
The court and the commonwealth
attorney have used every means of
bringing the case to trial. The sheriff
went to Paducah after witnesses, and it
was intended that he should stop at
Dawson Springs and get witnesses there.
The question of. disposing of Armer
until court has not been taken up. Il
is probable that he will be kept in Jail
here as there is now no danger of a
mob, il there was ever any danger.

CORBETT is CONQUERED.
Jimmie Britt Gets Decision Over
Champion at Close of Twenty
Round Battle.

San Francisco, Ca, March 28.-Aft-
er 20 rounds of terrific fighting, Jimmy
Britt, the California lightweight. Fri
day night received the decision over
Young" Corbett, of Denver, the feath-
erweight champion of the world. The
battle was fought before crowd Of
1900 at Woodward's pavilion, and was
probably the hardest pugilistic struggle
ever seen in this state. For the first
four rounds Corbett had slight adj
vantage in hard milling, then Britt
took a brace and for three rounds he
had all the best of it, leading his sup
porters to think at one time in the
seventh round that he was about to
finish the champion.
But after that the local fighter
seemed to tire, while Corbett gradually
improved and had the better of things
in nearly all of the rounds until the
seventeenth.
The closing rounds saw wonderful
rally by Britt and he had SO much the
better of the milling in the last three
rounds that Referee Graney gave him
the decision.

MINNESOTA NEWS,


News comes from Washington to the
effect that Congressman Buchanan has
suggested to the secretary of of the in
terror and the commissioner of Indian
affairs that the. government appoint a
fire warden, to have control of Star Is
land in Cass Lake. Mr.. Buchanan also
sounded the commissioner as to the pro-
posal that the state of Minnesota pur-
chase the island from the government
or the Indians, and keep it forever in
its native state, with the pine timber
intact and its great natural beauty I'M
marred. This latter proposal is meet
ing with enthusiastic favor in Cass
Lake, and the papers throughout the
northern half of the state are indorsing
it.
When the members of the North
western Minnesota Editorial associa-
ton visited Cass Lake last summer they
were served with dinner under the
tall pine trees which cover every foot
of the island, and were shown over 1t
and taken on the small lake in the
center-Lake Helen. 1t was suggest
ed then that the state acquire the is
land, and the scheme was heartily in
dorsed by all who were there, each
promising his support.

cent. of it's farm product; the south At
lantic division only Al per cent, and
the western division only So per cent.
1t may be supposed that the returns
of butter made on farms were as ac-
curate as reported for the censuses OF
previous years as for that of 1900 Com
PARSONS are therefore in order. The
total product on farms reported every
ten years from 1859 to 1899, inclusive,
is given in Table X, on page 40. The
farm butter product per capita Of popu-
lation has been as follows: Census of
1850, 1851 pounds; census Of 1860, 14.62
pounds; census Of 1870, 1888 pounds;
census of 1880, 1880 pounds; census Of
1890, 1888 pounds, and census Of 1900,
i4.06 pounds of farm butter per capita
per annum. Since 1880, and including
that year, creamery butter also has been
produced in rapidly increasing quantity.
Therefore the per capita production OF
farm butter has been quite variable, and,
although the rate increased during the
decade prior to 1890, Notwithstanding
very large increase Of creamery butter
during the same period, the last decade
shows a decrease in rate exceeding any
thing previous; while, at the same time,
the total production of butter on farms,
as reported by the Twelfth census, was
somewhat greater than ever before.
The five states producing the greatest
quantity of butter on farms were. in the
order named, Ohio. New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Iowa and Michigan. Together
they produced one-third of the total.
Great as the dairy interests Of the farm
vet are, they are gradually being trans
ferred from the farm to the factory.
The COWS and the milk are still part of
the farm product, but the converting OF
milk into butter and cheese is more and
more becoming the work of factory.
Previous to 1850 the creamery was un-
known in America, but since that time
the number of these factories has grown
with an increasing rapidity that threat
ems in time to absorb the entire butter
and cheese manufacturing interests of
the country.
The census of 1850 noted the exist
ance of but eight cheese factories, and
no butter factories. The number had
increased but little in 1860. During the
ten wears that followed, however, great
impetus was given the creamery indus
try. and in that year the census report
showed a total of 1913 creameries,
making both butter and cheese, in oper-
alton. In 1880 the number had Increased
10 1882; in 1890, Alp, and so rapid was
the increase during the decade follow
ing that year that by 1900 the number
of creameries in operation was 9,242.
The greatest growth in numbers and
output of manufactured product has
been in the north central states. Illinois
now has sgt creameries, Iowa GOT, In
diana 112, Michigan 2S6, Minnesota 596,
Ohio 479, Wisconsin 2,01S. The latter
state has the greatest number of cream

No Place for the Flag.

CONSERVATION reigns among the civil
war veterans who were in attendance
at the annual state encampment in
Minneapolis. During the last session
of the convention, the fact was brought
before the body, that no room had
been provided at the new capitol for
the old war flags, the relics, dear to
the hearts of veterans in the state,
which now repose in glass case in the
rotunda of the old capitol building.
A petition was presented to Gov. Van
SAINT, signed by many of the most
prominent veterans in the state, ask
ing that when the flags were removed
to the new building, it might be with
all possible poNp and, ceremony.
1t was decided to make direct ap-
peal to the state capitol commission for
space for the flags in the new building.
The council of administration of the
state department of the Grand Army
was instructed to take up the matter
with the commission at once.
