Some time ago the government mads

highest. Recently butter dealers In Chi
cago have had their attention called to
this matter by the government officials
having such matters in charge. Some
creamery butter was found in Chicago
having water content Of "a Der cent.

the Russian side. Six Japanese were

a Polander's Sad Lot.

Valentine Valkuski died at the Aims
house belonging to the Dinvlle and
MahoninS Poor District early yester-
day morning
Back of this simple announcement
lies a romantic story, which takes in
two continents and tells of the fall
from attluence and position to life
of abject poverty in lind of exile. -
Valentine Valkuski has been about
DanVille for six or eight years past.
He was about 80 or so years of age
tact with him as a man of evident re-
tinement and culture although un-
acquainted with the English tongue
He was thrown III with the Polish
people OF this city and obliged to earn
his living as best he could by laboring
at the iron works. Totally unused to
manual labor of any kind work went
hard with him and last February he
broke down. For awhile he was car
ed for by the Polish people. but later
was removed to the almshouse. The
hardships incidental to the changed
conditions of his life had told serious
ly upon his constitution and despite
Of good care and medical attendance
he grew steadily worse until delivered
by death.
An effort was made yesterday to
learn something definite concerning
Valkuski's antecedents in Poland, but
it was found to be uphill work His
fellow countrymen here, who might
have been able to give an intelligent
recital of facts in the Polish language,
owing to their limited vocabulary in
English utterly failed in making the
matter plain. The most information
was obtained from Frank J. Cyrkowic,
familiarly known about the big mill
as Frank Joe, - with whom Valentine
Valkuski boarded for some time. In a
general way the story runs as follows /:
Valkush was a rich man, the gov
ernor of province in Russian Po-
land. 1t would seem from what was
learned that under the peculiar con-
stitution of Poland governor is alike
invested with executive authority and
the authority to determine questions
or causes relating to law and govern
ment Valkuski's sympathies were
on the side of the poorer classes who
are struggling under the rigid laws in
force.
Just in what manner he became in
volved IS not clear. but his downfall
is attrib buted to his sympathy for his
unfortunate cOuntrymen who were
begging for justice. His vast estates
were confscated and he has ended his
days in practical exile.
Valkuski first came TO this country
about l3 years ago. He has a son, John
Valkuski, at Steelton and "a daughter,
Mrs Floryntyna Pelinski, living at
Shenandoah.
