Admiral Togo, victor in the great
naval battle in the straits of Korea,
Is IS years old. Like many OTTER
Of the naval officers of Japan, he Is
a samurai of the Satsuma clan.
He received much Of his education
In the British naval college at Green
wich and served in various capacities
at home until the war with China
broke out In 1894. He was then in
command of the cruiser Naniwa, be-
longing to the first flying squadron
Of the Japanese navy. 1t was this
cruiser that fred the first shot In
the a II took part in several bat
ties and bombardments and Togo saw
a great deal Of service. He was dis
tlnguished for his GOODNESS and cour.
age and for his resourcefulness in
time Of danger.
Togo's deeds In the recent war
with Russia are too recent to require
ca%pltulatlon. They place him among
the greatest naval commanders In
history.
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky Is 81
years old. He was born near Mos
COW and was educated for the navy.
He served in the Black and Baltic
sea fleets and gained a high reputa.
ton as a seaman.
In the Russian.Turkish war he Is
said to have put an iron-clad belong.
ing to the enemy to flight by attack
Ing II with a small unprotected
steamer, called the Vesta. Though
the story was denied by the Turks
and disproved from other sources,
RoJestvensky was thereafter known
as the hero Of the Nesta."
In 1903 he became chief Of STAFF
in the ministry Of marine and con.
tinued az such until last fall, when
he was ordered to organize the feet
which has just met with such over
whelming disaster.

CREAMERY OPENS
Another Promising Institution
Launched In 0skaloosa.

The oskaloosa Creamery Company
opened for business June 1, 1906. The
building completed, all OF the machin.
cry, which Is the latest and the best
that can be purchased, is in place in
operating order, and everything is In
readiness for the making of the finest
and the purest of butter.
The announcement went forth some
days ago that the creamery would re.
ceive cream on the first day of June,
and fifty pounds OF good rich cream
was brought to the place Thursday,
and the market price Of 10 cents per
pounds was paid for the goods. Chas.
o. Holm was the first one to bring
cream for the new institution, and
Willis Pettitt was the second. Other
cream followed today, and IL enough
is received during the day to warrant
q churning, this part Of the work will
be started Saturday. The first churn,
ing will take place not later than Mon.
day. The product Of the creamery
will be placed upon the market as
soon as 1t can be prepared. There is
already a demand for the output Of
the new plant and this will be In.
creased as the excellence of the goods
comes to be known.
The creamery will not retail Its
goods but will furnish 1t to the local
dealers at the lowest general market
price. City consumers will obtain II
from their grocers. The butter sold
to the local trade will for the greater
part be put up In pound packages
neatly wrapped In papers labeled
"Oskaloosa Creamery Co. Pure
Creamery Butter, Oskaloosa, Iowa"
1t makes a neat and convenient and
easily handled package. The demand
for the product will be large and the
company will have no trouble In dis
posing Of all that 1t can make from the
start of the plant. The average ca.
pacity Of the plant will be two thous.
and pounds Of butter daily, but this
amount can be increased as Is neces.
sary with the increase Of trade.
The creamery Is located on the east
side Of South Market street, just
south of the Burlington, tracks. The
building Is Of brick, thoroughly sanl-
tary. The cream from the farmers Is
received in a testing room where the
amount of the cream weight Is deter.
mined. II Is placed then in ripening
watts where 1t Is prepared for the
churn. All Of the appliances Of the
butter making are the most sci.
entific known. The temperature Is
regulated by means Of ammonia cool
Ing apparatus, and the process Is In.
teresting In the extreme. The ma.
chinery Is operated by means Of both
electricity and steam and not a thing
has been omitted looking toward the
economical operation Of the plant.
The creamery Is In charge of Mr..
John Metzger, ar experienced and sci.
entifc butter maker. The gentleman
knows all of the ms and outs and the
why's and wherefores Of the game OF
butter making. He Is an enthusiast
In the work and is intensely interested
In the success of the local plant.
The company Is made up entirely OF
Oskaloosa capital and is one OF the
best institutions to be started In the
city In many years.

--Des Moines Democrat Chronicle:
The G. A. r. encampment, depart
ment Of Iowa, which was held at os.
kaloosa last week, was well attended,
there being $500 comrades registered
and a very large attendance of people
from the, surrounding country. To
say the people Of Oskaloosa did them
selves proud Is stating 1t very mildly.
The little city was most beautifully
decorated, the display Of flags and
bunting extending throughout the res
ldent as we'll as the business districts,
and no pains ere spared by the citi.
zens to render everybody comfortable
and make them feel at home. This,
In fact, seemed to be the first thought
and steady aim Of every citizen with
whom the writer came in contact.

IOWA POPULATION.

Burlington Hawkeye: While ev-
erybody in Iowa is more or less In
terested in the census, that is now
under way, there are many who
have forgotten the result OF the CEN
sus taken by the national govern
ment In 1900. In that enumeration,
which was probably as near to be-
Ing correct as was possible under
the circumstances, the Hawkeye state
was credited with 2,231,S53 inhab-
itants. She has a climate, which IL
at stimes a bit trying, has no super
Tor upon earth. She has everything
to make her the ideal state, and yet
the census Of 1906 will show very lit
tie, IL any, increase In the popula-
ton, and may show a slight decrease,
despite the fact that the total popu.
latIon OF the republic is increasing
at a marked rate. Just why Iowa's
population should not Increase very
rapidly, that is q question that Is be-
Ing discussed and studied by very
many authorities, among them not a
few, who a. short time ago were wor-
rying about the immigration that ls
pouring into the republic and that
threatened to crowd US from Iowa
soil. .
Perhaps a few comparisons may be
interesting in this connection. Iowa
has forty inhabitants to the square
mile. Iowa IL Ave times as large as
Belgium. The latter country Is not
over.populated and there Ii no emil
grafton from It. The Belgians are
prosperous and content. The natur-
al Of the country are poor,
compared to those Of Iowa. Were
our state as we'll populated as Is Bel
GUM, we should have owe 100000
people In Iowa or almost half the
present population Of the republic.
Bavaria Is one Of those German
states which are comparatively poor
In inhabitants, q portion OF the ter
ritory being mountainous and unit
for agricultural purposes. Bavaria Is
about half as lrge as Iowa, yet she
has q population OF over six millions.
Even on the basis OF Bavaria, Iowa
should have over twelve millions OF
inhabitants.
Iowa covers as much ground as
England and Wales combined. And
It Is better ground, but there arc
80, 000, 900 In the first named oun
tries, as compared to two and a quar-
ter million In this state.
Japan, the country that has occu'
pied the center Of the stage OF late,
Ia about two and one'half times aS
large an Iowa. The natural re-
sources OF the country are not TO be
compared with Iowa, and a consid-
erable portion OF the island empire is
OF little use for agricultural purpos-
es. But there are about 46,000,0O0 OF
people and we have the testimony OF
many travellers that the population 10
not oyercrowded. II Iowa were as
densely populated as the empire OF
the mikado, we should have 10000
900 OF people and Iowa could much
easier sustain that, or even a greater
number, than the suntiower land can
her forty.six millions.
All OF which simply goes toNshow
that after the men OF igures ana
reasons, the men who tell us how
and why things happen, get through
explaining the deficit In the Iowa cen
sus and after the population OF the
Hawkeye state begins to advance,
these estimable gentlemen will not
need to lie awake nights, worrying
over the danger, OF over-population In
Iowa. "

& Allen. Ga|ena, Kansas.

EDITOR NkWS:-fermlt me u
congratulate you on the article in
your paper last week relative to
taking down the fences. l take it
the only call for the existence of
these fences is to accommodate a
very few people who desire to pas
ture their live stock at public ex-
pense. Although there has been
for a great many years strong and
growing sentiment in favor of keep
ing up live stock, yet it must be
confessed that Baxter Springs is
still Gay" town in THE respect,
and it is clear will always remain so
unless something is done to effect
ually and finally put quietus on
the gentle, but obstructive cow. You
have called the turn. No legisla-
ton is needed. No mass meeting
with it's speechifying, resoluting
and inocuous indignation lie neces-
sary. All we need to do is for one
and all to remove the fences. Then
whoever infringes the law, let him
be hauled to the chicken court and
given the customary dose of dol
lar and costs. With the front fences
moved aud an ordinance passed by
the council which shall direct that
grading of side streets shall be linn
tied to the necessities of the service
instead of exacting the last Inch,
we might have beginning in the
direction of realization on the
wealth which nature has 80 bounti-
fully bestowed upon eur little city.
We are forever hugging some fond
delusion or pursuing some Shiny
ignis fatuus in Baxter Springs in
the vain hope that our property will
be worth much. and at the same
time We persistently overlook the
priceless legacy wherewith Provi-
dence hath endowed US in the way
of location and surroundings. IT
these had always been used to the
best advantage possible we would
have a much larger and long way
better town than we now have.
Look at Carthage. With only frac-
ton of the natural beauty we have,
it lie reputed the finest small city in
Missouri. The same energy and de-
termination expended here would
have long siuce brought this town
the fame of gateway of pearl to
peerless Kansas. Let us make be-
ginning now, though late in the
