The Creamery Ice House.

Where Ice cannot be secured from
ice companies it is necessary to have
an ice house in connection with a
creamery. The dimensions of the ice
house depends on the purpose and
capacity of the creamery. Ordi.,
narily an ice house of $50 tons,
capacity is ample for a cream
cry handling from 5000 to 10000
pounds of milk day. AS cubic foot
of ice weighs fifty-dve pounds, an APP
proXimate estimate can be made from
this for the conditions in this latitude.
An ice house may be built of SINGLE
or double walls, depending upon the
ease and cheapness with which ice can
be secured in winter. 1t is not gem
orally advisable to have an ice house
direcliy connected with the creamery
building. but it should be located close
by, in order TO save labor in getting
ice.--Oscar Err

NEW NAVY DEPARTMENT HEAD.
Paul Morton, Son Of the Late J. Ster-
linz Morton, Appointed.


A short time ago Attorney General
Knox formally announced he would
retire from the Department of JUS
tice, probably at the end of the fiscal
year. 1t was understood at the same
time that Secretary Moody would sue
coed Mr.. Knox as attorney general.
The statement was made, however,
that, while the transfer of Secretary
Moody to the Department of Justice
was very probable, it was dependent
in a measure on the presidents sue
cess in securing such a successor for
him in the navy department as he
desired.
President Roosevelt rendered the
appointment of Secretary of the Navy
to Paul Morton, first vice president of
the Atchson, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
road. Mr. Morton is a son of the late
j. Sterling Morton CT Nebraska, Sec
rotary of Agriculture in President
Clevelands last administration. Mr..
Morton has had experience in Wash

father.

A Plain Steal.

According to law each member. OF
congress is entitled to draw mileage
at the rate of 20 cents per mile for
his journey home and back to Wash
ington during the recess between the
special and the regular sessions OF
Congress. And here comes nice lit
tie question of official honesty or dis
honesty. Technically, there was re-
cess in which the members Of Congress
are presumed to have returned to the
bosoms of their families, for which
they draw their mileage. In fact,
there was no recess, the special session
being merged into the regular session
without the members leaving Wash
ington. or even their seats. A very
few congressman are opposed to the
members drawing their mileage under
such conditions, when no such mileage
was actually earned, but others are
determined to annex everything in the
Shape of coin in sight. If the mem
bers Of the two houses have any desire
to do what they require in others they
will keep their hands off the treasury
in this case. We would like to see
the names of the Senators and Con-
gressmen who INDUCED in this graft
published 50 as the dear people could
see who are the grafters. We hope
no Senator or Congressman from South
Carolina participated in this raid on
the treasury. 1t is a plain steal and
nothing else.

question in its own way. The town
is an unincorporated all black COM

OF its twelve stores ten are owned and
conducted by negroes. The depart
ments Of its four-room school are pre-
sided over by negro teachers. There
are two churches. Methodist and Bap-
tist. and both have colored preachers.
The only hotel in town is kept by a
negro. The postmaster and all Of the
local officers are black men. The
town is prosperous. its main business
being coal digging. The proprietor
OF the local bank is a white man and

Wanted to Lynch Him.

Nelly Zimmerman and George
Burke, the negroes who narrowly es-
caoed lynching at the hands of an in
furiaced mob, at Council Bluffs, Iowa,
were Wednesday taken to the state
penitentiary at Fort Madison, for
safekeeping. During the afternoon
the men were taken before Judge
Wheeler and waived preliminary e1
animation. The judge signed an order
for their removal. During the day
Sheriff Cousins learned Of an organiz
ed plan to lynch Zimmerman and
Burke Wednesday and again made a
request for a company Of militia to
guard the county Jail. Feeling against
tbe prisoners increased and during the
afternoon small groups Of men gather
ed in the vicinity OF the jail to discuss
the matter. Sheriff Cousins then de-
cided that the safer course was to re-
move the men from the city and ap-
piled for an order OF removal. -Four
assaults within week similar to those
made on Mrs. Sparks and her daugh-
ter had wrought up the working peo-
pie of the city tc pitch of feverish

Higher Cotton Goods.

The cotton manufacturers are now
cotton goods at a loss, a condl-
tion Of things that can't last very long.
Cotton must either come down in price
or cotton goods must 60 up in price.
1t would be a good thing all round If
cotton goods would keep pace with
cotton in price so as the mill people
could make money as well as the far
mer. Then the present high price of
cotton would hurt no one, but as the
matter now stands the mills are being
gradually pushed to the wall. The
farmers can stand a couple of cents
per yard on cloth very much better
with cotton at y and Is cents per
pound. than they can to pay the usual
price of cloth, with cotton at ! cents
per pound. T increase in price for
cloth that the farmer would have to
pay out for his family in one year,
would be made back with less than
one bale of cotton, with cotton at II
cents per pound. A 500 pound bale
of cotton at ! cents would bring the
farmer s35. The same bale of cotton
at u cents would bring him $50. The
farmer can well afford to pay few
cents more per yard for cloth, with
cotton at II cents. We would be
glad if the farmer got y cents for
his next crop Of cotton, and for that
reason we would like to see the mills
keep busy making cloth and yarns at
remunerative prices. Then all the
present crop would be used up by the
time the next crop is put on the
market, and the mills would be eaeger
to get it at u or Is cents. But if the
mills are compelled to make cloth or
warns at a loss it is only a question OF
time when they will have to quit busi-
ness and wait fer cotton to get
cheaper. For this reason we would
like to see all goods made out of cot
ton take a decided upward move IN

An Important Decision.

By a late decision of the United
States Supreme Court. new princi-
pie of law has been established-one
of vast Importance to those who have
business dealings with railroads. This
principle holds that a railroad COM
pany OF any corporation acting as
common carrier cannot enter into
contract in an individual whereby the
latter releases the corporation from
liabilities. The suit in question was
brought by Hughes & Fleming. OF
Philadelphia, to recover damages Tor
injuries sustained by d valuable race
horse. The animal was shipped from
Albany to Cynwid. and while in the
freight yards in Philadelphia was
badly hurt in a collision caused by a
shifting engine running into the car
in which the animal was stalled.
Prior to the shipment of the horse
Hughes g. Fleming entered into an
agreement with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, whereby the
animal would be transported at a
reduced rate provided the liability OF
the company was limited to 500. On
the strength of this contract the rail
road company declined to pay more
than the stipulated sum when the
horse was injured. Suit was brought
in Common Plea Court No. ,, Phila-
delphia. and Judge SulZberger charg-
ed the jury to ignore the contract and
render d verdict for the full amount.
The Pennsylvania Railroad carried the
case to the State Supreme Court, and
that body sustained the ruling Of the
lower court. Not satisfied with this
decision, the case was taken to the
United States Supreme Court and
Justice Day renders u final ruling
which establishes a very important
precedent and entirely new principle
from those heretofore held. 1t prac
tically strikes a severe blow at all rail
roads and prohibits them from enter
ing into any further contracts with
as far as limiting their
liability is concerned.
