Charged Against Him.
ARGUMENT ENDS TO-DAY

The evidence of Samuel Click, one of the
case that has been in progress for the last
week, in which he denied having knowledge
of the ticket and other articles that were
found in the Office at the tire 1t was
searched, was given yesterday. His testi-
mony was practically the same as Mes
sings.
An apparently unexpected piece of testi-
mony was drawn from the witness when
he testified that the Middletown (O) ticket
which has been so much in question and
for the forgery of which the defendants
were arrested, was purchased from j. Al
len Grant, one of the fink4rloa detectives
and assistant TO II. A. :<oaca. '..-
Click said that he remembered Allen as
being the man who entered his office and
from whom he purchased the ticket from
Cincinnati to Middietown o. He also de-
MED knowing anything about a United
States punch that was offered as testi-
mony.
Allen was called to the stand by the
State TO contradict the testimony of Click.
He said that he never sold the ticket to the
defendant and that he had never even been
in the office of Messing Click.
Attorney Span, for the defense, put
Allen through a severe cross-examination
In which he attempted to question the char
acter of the witness. Allen denied having
been implicated in many of the things Mr..
Span questioned him about.
The evidence was concluded for both sides
with the rebuttal testimony of II. A. Roach,
the Pinkerton detective. Prosecuting Attor-

DOGS And THEIR
MASTERS FIGHT

Two ordinary bulldogs caused more ex-
element in the neighborhood of West and
Morris streets yesterday morning than the
neighborhood has known for years The
dogs with their owners were in the saloon
of Fred Gauls and the owners disagreed as
to which dog was the best fighter.
Fred Trucks and William Ingleking were
the owners. The dogs were fighting in a
minute and Ingleking's pet was gaining
when Trucks drew a revolver. Ingleking
seized a billiard cue and Trucks was
knocked down. Ingleking made a hurried
exit, but Trucks sent several shots after
him for luck. Both men were arrested.

the butter with the same well water,
but not until after the water had been
pasteurized and cooled. Three ex-
periments were made in the same way
and the results all showed that the
butter washed in the pasteurized water
kept normal very much longer than
the same butter washed in the unpas-
teurized water. Here is pretty good
evidence on an important point. Fur
thermore. the cream was pasteurized
as we'll as the wash water, and it was
found that the keeping quality OF the
butter was further improved. The
butter made from unpasteurized cream
and washed in unpasteur1zed water,
kept thirty-four or thirty-fve days,
while that made from pasteur1zed
water kept sixty to seventy-hve days.
The pasteurization of the wash water
is a simple matter, but entails some
trouble and some expense. The Iowa
station estimated the cost of pasteur1z-
ing both the milk and the wash water
at Oh per cent per pound OF butter, as
organic matter and other impurities
are removed along with about 80 per
cent of the bacteria. A filter COM
posed of the following layers mention
ed in order, commencing at the top,
worked very we'll at the Iowa station
and was inexpensive: Coarse gravel,
two inches charcoal, nine inches; tine
coke, twelve inches; fine sand, twenty
two inches; and coarse gravel, TWO
inches. Such filters of course require
some attention, but care is necessary
throughout the process for the pro
duction of good butter.

What Makes Milk Blue.

According to Dr. James Law, the vet
erinarian of Cornell New York; uni
versity, we may have been doing many
good COWS and perhaps some milk sell
ers grave injustice. Most people have
always supposed that blue milk meant
poor milk or milk which had been di~
luted with water. DR.. Law says that
this is not necessessarily true and that
a certain germ will make even rich
milk or cream look blue. He says:
"The germ may get into the milk after
it has been drawn from the COW or
it may find it's way into the opening OF
the milk ducts and get into it while
being MIXED. Frequently milking is
recommended as a means or flushing
out the germs and the injection into
the teats of solution of two drains
of hydrosulphite of soda in pint OF
water will destroy them
Speaking of the cause of stringlness
in milk Professor Law says that this
is caused by the fungi which he be-
lieves develops in the system OF the
COW. In the affected COWS the temper
ature is raised one or two degrees
above normal Like most other fungi
this does not grow out into filaments
in the milk while it is within the body
of the cow but in five or six hours
after the milking the surface layers
are found to be one dense network
of filaments. If a needle is dipped in
this and lifted the liquid is drawn out
into a long thread. Care should be
taken in the live stock water supply,
which is likely to cause stringiness
Professor Law recommends two drains
of bisulphite of soda daily until the
stringiness disappears.
