get it always to run at its best. Do
not be afraid to go after your agent,
or if necessary your state agent. IL
they are reliable they will be DESTROYS
of having your trouble Strengthened
out.
Use only the best of oil. That rec
commended or put out by the state
agent should be all right, as they would
naturally desire to have their ma
chimes properly fabricated. Any old
mixture can be called separator oil, %
but it may be chiefly coal-oil, which
has no lubricating life and it may be
doped with fish oil, which would be
worse, as this will gum on to the
parts. and cause them to clog up the
parts, heat and perhaps weld them.
Always clean out the gearing and
parts every month or so with kerosene
oil, pour some through the gearing
while it revolves, and it will clean 1t
all out in first class shape. Your ma
chine will run better for it, and will
last longer.
Be sure and give the crank the re-
uuired number of revolutions per min
ute; use a watch until you are used
to it. If you fail to give it sufficient
speed it will be liable to skim imper-
fectly, and will turn out thinner
cream than usual, and you will be
wondering why the creamery gives you
a lower test than the day before. In
like degree, turning the crank faster
than stated will give you thicker
cream. In changing the cream screw,
bear in mind that half-a-full-turn OF
the screw one way or the other Will
make quite a difference to the cream.
1t is imperative that it should be cool
ed as quickly as possible after or dur
ing separation. A small size Star
cream cooler is probably the best ap-
piance for the purpose. These can be
had for about $40 complete. With
these the separator spout discharges
into a trough perforated at the bottom,
through which the cream runs and
then down over the cooler coils, inside
of which is running cold water. The
cream runs directly from the cooler
into your shipping cans. The best tenn
perature to which to instantaneOuSly
cool it is about so per cent, but not
below 40. If you are fixed to care for
your cream in this manner, and are
adjacent to good sized town, you can
get considerable over the market price
for your product, for ice cream and
sweet cream purposes. Surely 1T is
worth the effort Second to the Star
cooler, would recommend some other
make of cooler, SO long as it cools.
AS a third recourse the deep-setting
cans may be used. They are better
than nothing. Catch the cream in
these and submerge in tank of cool
running water, with the lids off to al
low the cream to get rid of gases or
odors, but cover with mosquito netting
to keep out insects. Mix or stir fire.

Criminal Indictments

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Charles w.
Morse, former president of the Amer
lean Ice company and promoter of an
extensive bank consolidation plan in
this city, who has long been the central
figure in one of the most sensational
matrimonial tangles of recent years,

accompany her husband. Mr. Morse
said that he had returned to answer

point where the grand jury of New
York county returned criminal indict-
ments against at least half a dozen
persons, among them two lawyers of
wide prominence. Some of the indict-

believed that further sensational de-
velopments would quickly follow the
arrival of the steamer on which Mr.
Morse took passage. from the other
side.
No announcement officially had been
made as to what course the authori-
ties having the Hodge-Morse tangle
investigation in hand would pursue,
but it was believed that an attempt
would be made to supplement the evil
dence already in possession of the dis
trict attorneys office by requiring the
appearance and testimony of Mr..
Morse. There was no one from the
district attorneys Office to meet him
and he was not served with papers Of
any kind. He absolutely refused to
discuss any phase of the divorce tangle.

GIGANTIC CORNELL DAM
NEARING iTSfc0MPLETION
Townsites and Homestesds Are SUBJ
merged to Supply New York
With Water
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, F'eb. 1.--After ten years
of labor and the expenditure of $9,000,000
the new Cornell dam, near Croton-on-
Hudson. in Westchester county, from
which this city will draw largely for
its water supply has been practically
completed. 1t is the largest piece of
masonry in the world except the pyra-
mids of Egypt The floodgates have
been shut down for the first time and
the dam has begun filling with water.
1t is estimated by the engineers that
it will require about two years for the
dam to fill, and when the water reaches
the base of it's coping it will make a
lake sixteen miles long.
For the first year New Yorks prin-
cipal supply of water will come from
the overflow of the old Crotcn dam.
The latter will then be flooded and the
water will rise thirty feet above it. The
new dam will hold 3O,OOO,OOO,OOO gallons
of water.
The closing ofothe immense gates and
flooding of the sites of half dozen
abandoned towns in North Westchester
attracted many people desiring to wit
ness the beginning of the inundation
which is to change the map of the sur
rounding country and cover their form
er homesteads and old landmarks.
The original contract price for the
dam was 5000, 900, but the contract was
broken and the work was done by the
cubic yard.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-The st. Peterss
burg correspondent of the Telegraph
sends the following remarkable state
ment:
In few days we shall witness po-
litical transformation scene as thor
oughly amazing as anything modern
pantomime or fairy tale can offer. The
captives who languish in cells in the
fortress will be released tomorrow and
their misdemeanors will be forgiven.
The press will be allowed to speak
freely. Later, Governor General Tre-
poff will be sent to Manchuria, in ten
days bran new representative cham
Der will be created under the magic
wand of M. Dewitte, and new era
of prosperity will begin for the Russian
people.
This is the latest program.
The correspondent ascribes this de-
cison to the influence of M. De Witte
and M. Yermoloff, minister of agricul-
tural and state domain. He relates
scene that occurred when the latter
had an audience with the czar The
minister told his majesty that the pres
ent system of government had outlived
its usefulness. He declared it would be
impossible henceforth to carry on the
business of the empire without the as
sistance of the Russian people.
The czar interrupted and sharply
reprimanded the minister for his ..im-
tpertinence.'s
Yermoloff answered that having dis
charged his duty he was at his majes-
TVS service. Nicholas then lost his
self control and only recovered his
normal serenity after a long interval.
Fermoloff retired to an ante-room, but
eventually his majesty recalled him and
listened while he developed scheme
for the pacification of the country.
Finally he commanded the minister to
draft an ukase addressed to NJ De
Witte, the president of the council.
The minister thereupon retired. After
an hour and a half he came back with
the constitution in his hand. This he
read aloud to the czar, who meanwhile
paced the apartment. He asked no
questions and when M. Yernloloff had
finished he took pen and signed the
document, closing the period of czar-
dom and marking new epoch for the
country.
The correspondent quotes a friend,
who has read the document, as giving
the following points:

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Dispatches
received at the state department today
from Minister Bowen at Caracas indi-
cate that the rupture with Venezuela.
which President Roosevelt has been
trying to stave off until after congress
adjourns, is imminent.
Bowen has recommended that he be
recalled and that the diplomatic rela-
tions with Venezuela be severed. He
says the attitude of the Castro govern
ment remains uncompromising to the
last degree and that he can see no en-
couraging indication of peaceable
settlement of the American claims.
He advises that force be applied as
the only means of bringing President
Castro to terms and that as first step,
formidable naval demonstration be at
once made at La Guayra, Port of
Caracas.
Bowen's reports were at once sent to
the president and soon afterwards
Mr. Roosevelt held long conference
with Secretary Hay, who is i'll at his
home.
What conclusion was reached could
not be learned, but the Importance of
the subject was proved by the fact
that the president himself carried the
dispatch to Hays home. The plan for
teaching Castro lesson in Roosevelt $
most vigorous fashion was completed
weeks ago.
The plan includes naval demon
stration, which if it fails to bring
