A Creamery.

S. E. Weston of Chicago, rep
resenting the Chicago Building
and Manufacturing Co., was in
this city Monday in the inter
est of his people and trying to
est ablish a butter and cheese
factory or creamery.
His idea was to put up the
building and plant entire and
then turn it over to cooper
alive set of farmers.
As he did not report to rs S
he promised, he must have
thought prospects nil.
Tuesday we talked with sev-
eral gentlemen on the subj, ct
and their ideas were PRACTICAL,
the same S those of DIR. Thoma S
Pr Octor who thinks: II a man
will come here and establish a
ere amery and cheese factory
and buy cream direct from the
producer--not ask producer to
take stock or have anything to
do with running the business
he would he literally supported
in the undertaking. But that
cooperative plant would b. a
failure.
This vicinity has never been
known as a dairy country and
yet it has everything that goes
to make a perfect dairy country
1t has plenty of pure cool water
and better pasture and meadow
lands do not exist. That being
true, all that is lacking is
man to turn his attention and
energy to that line of business
to make it a success.

Once Upon

A time circuit attorney was
placed upon ticket and elect
ed for a specific purpose, l. e.,
to give city clean govern
ment and to prosecute boodlers.
Evidently the men placing him
upon that ticket did not guage
his legal calibre correctly. Just
"look backwards" and see the
host of irregular indictments,
faulty informations filed and
then look the result squarely in
the face,
James A, Reed as prosecuting
attorney of Jackson county,
issouri, secured one hundred
and ninety ight-198--indict-
ments and out of that number
secured one hundred and ninety
six-196-convictions. He also
was elected for a specific pur-
pose, but he did not fail his
constituents nor boast of doing
his duty.

Archbishop Glennon, it is said,
tavors such a change, and the
plan crystalizes hopes for the

mind of Archbishop Kendrick,
Archbishop Kaine's predecessor
as long ago as the year 1884.
In 1884, at the urgent request
Of Father Kelly, Archbishop
