MUCH GOOD BUTTER IS DESTROYED
Burning Of SiSeI Creamery Brings
Loss to Company.

The Sigel Cooperative Creamery
Co. met with serious misfortune in
the loss Of the creamery building and
fifty tubs Of butter by fire last Tues
day. At this time Of the year the loss
is greater than it would have been at
any other time .a.
For the present only a skimming
station will be maintained at the old
creamery site and in the fall new
building will be erected. The build
ing put up for the Swimming station
will then be used for an ice house.
The butter will be made at some of the
nearby creameries, possibly the Cot
tonwood.
The loss to the company above the
insurance will be about 81, 900. 1t was
carried in the Creamery Mutual9com-
pany and amounted to 81. 100. A meet
ing Of the board of directors was held
Saturday for the purpose of proceed
ing with the affairs and deciding upon
some course and buying machinery.
1t is thought that the fire started
from the contact of the boiler with the
frame work of the building. 1t was
burning long time before the butter
maker was aware that the place was on
fire, in fact he was practically smoked
out of the room he was in and then it
was simply impossible to do anything
either toward saving the building or
the contents.

A. H.P|CKEL new COMMANDER
Division Encampment G. A. R.
Holds Meeting.
New Ulm Post Not Represented on
Day Of Business.
Sleepy Eye Chosen as Place of
Meeting For Next Year.


The Fourth Of July celebration at
Sleepy Eyeseems to have overshadowed
the Grand Army encampment that was
held in that city on the 4th and 5th.
The plan of the encampment was to
have the meeting held later in the
month but this was changed and the
date was moved up to make the meet
ing in conjunction with the celebration
OF the Fourth which appears to have
been unfortunate for-the encampment.
There was nothing doing on the first
day Of the meeting. A number of the
members OF the post in this city were
present on the Fourth but none were
there on the 9Th, the only day when
there was a meeting.
The purpose of the encampment was
to elect officers for the coming wear
and to talk over army matters. Quite
a number of the veterans were present
from Redwood Falls and a number
from places west of Sleepy Eye. Tents
were provided in the park for the &C
cOmmodation of those who came and
arrangements made for large attend
ance and it was disappointing to the
veterans that they were so completely
overshadowed. Previous encampments
at Sleepy Eye have been wonderfully
successful in the way of attendance
and it was expected that this would not
be behind others.
The new officers are:
Commander-A. H. Pickle, Sleepy
Eye.
Senior Vice-H. C. Baker, Redwood
Falls.
Junior Vice.. M. Wardell, Red
wood Falls.
Quarter Master-Wm. Strassburg,
Springfield.
Officer of the Day-T. F. Talbot,
Sleepy Eye.
Chaplin-M. B. Abbot, Lamberton.
Surgeon A. Knuepple, Redwood
Falls.
Adjutant j. G. Zieske, Sleepy Eye.
At the W. r. G. camp Mrs. NJ arietta

Quoted the meeting and after the usual
opening ceremony the following officers
were elected:
President-Mrs. Minerva Stearns.
Senior Vice Mrs. Catherine Nc
Balm.
Treasurer Mary Owens.
Secretary-Mrs. Jessie Blaksley.
Consular and Chaplin-Mrs. NJ. A.
Bogardus.
Those OF the posts not represented
by delegates sent letters showing that
while there has been a number of
deaths there have been accessions to
the different posts in the way of new
members so that they are able to mus
ter pretty strong following, and the
interest appears to have been material
ly revived, with prospect that every
member of the different posts in the
division who is able to get to the cars
will attend the national encampment
at Minneapolis which will meet next
The address of Adj Gen. Norton S.
Clark Of st. Paul was listened to by a
large number of people beside the
members of the post. He spoke very
enthusiastically Of the condition of the
posts in the state and the revival of
interest in the membership and hoped
that the members of all of the posts in
this division would make it point to
get those veterans of the Civil war who
were not members into the ranks. He
outlined the plan of the national en-
campment and urged all to be present.
It was a good meeting in many ways
and before adjourning the association
voted to hold the encampment for 1907
in Sleepy Eye during the month of
June.

VARDAMAN REPLIES
 TO M'LAURlN ATTACK
Says the Things Discussed In Ills Mes sage We're for Benefit Of
 State.

Jackson, Miss, January 6.--(Special.) )- In reply to United States Senator Me- Laurins letter to the Clarion-Ledger, in which Governor Vardsman is severely criticized for an alleged allusion to his deceased brother, Walter McLaurin, Gov ernor Vardaman says: f.
 T read the letter, and would not make any statement regarding 1t at all, were it not for the fact that I do not want the water muddied or the attention of the people diverted from the real issue in- volved in this matter.
 'The things discussed in my message were public policies and public records, which belong to the people of Mississippi and are subjects of legitimate discussion. Private character and private records were not mentioned. I trust that this impassoped out-burst of United States Senator A. J. McLaurin. who was govern or of Mississippi at the time his brother was appointed warden of the penitentiary, and who was chairamn of the board of control when his brothers plantation, Sandy Bayou. was leased and worked by the state convicts may not divert the attention of the legislature from the main question at issue. If the statements made in my message were incorrect, the best refutation will be found in the records of the public officers. My only desire or am- btion in this and all other matters is to serve the people of Mississippi. and that I shall do without regard to what any body may think or say"
 The red issue" referred to by the governor is his demand for penitentiary management reforms no doubt. The gov ernor was not questioned on that point, but it is matter of record that he in sists on changing the manner of manage ment of the penitentiary. He would take the management out of the hands of the board of control and place 1t with super visor who is to be elected by the people of the state, placed under heavy bond and held responsible for the doings of that great department of the state gov ernment

future Senator was born. When he was 12 years of age his father sent him to St. Marys college in San Francisco, where he studied for three years. He then went to Notre Dame university, Indiana, and graduated there when 20 years old. He returned to Portland and studied law, being admitted to the bar in 1874. In the same year he was elected to the Oregon legislature. Two years later he was chosen city attorney of Portland, and in 1884 he became district attorney Four years after ward he ran for Congress on the demo- cratic ticket and was defeated by Binger Hermann, now a Representa- tive in Congress, but not in attendance upon the present session because he has been indicted for complicity in the Oregon land frauds. When the cele- brated opium frauds were unearthed in 1893 MT. Gearin was appointed by President Cleveland as a special pros ecutor for the government in the cases and made great reputation.
 MT. Gearin's appointment to the Sen ate Is really freak of fortune, for un- der ordinary circumstances a democrat could never be chosen United States Senator from Oregon. The legislature is always overwhelmingly republican. But it happened in the last state cleo tion that the democrats nominated a man of striking personality and state

SENTIMENT IS IN
 FAVOR OF FRANCE Attitude of United States is Watched With Interest BERLIN TO MAKE DEMANDS Italy Will Take Prominent Position at the Coming Moroccan Conference
 Because of Her Former
 Policy.

London, January 6.-According to off, cial information received in London from Berlin. Germany now only demands that the powers shall participate in the re- forms in Morocco. but the work of watch ing the frontier be divided among them, thus realizing the fears expressed by a foreign office official in an interview with an Associated Press representative last Thursday that the German delegates might insist on regulations clashing with what France considered her special privi- lege, for instance the policing of the frontier.
 If Germany persist in this determina- tion In the conference serious complica- tions are sure to arise, as France will resist and Great Britain will support France, Great Britain. while believing that the conference will reach a satis- factory settlement, realizes that the Ger man insstanee will create a complicated situation and 1t expects the support of the United States and Italy
 The British public is busy with the elections and is not taking much interest in the question. Members of the diplo- matic corps believe Germany is putting forward her demands before the meeting of the conference in order to see how they are received In official and unoff- cial circles the possibility of war Is con- sidered the remotest, even if the confer ence fails, particularly as those who are inspiring the German policy do not belong to the war party

Not Likely to Escape.

From Success Magazine.
 Henry Vignaud, secretary of the Ameri- can embassy at Paris, enjoys telling of an American who was being shown the tomb of Napoleon. As the loquacious guide referred to the various points of in- terest in connection with the tomb, the American evinced the greatest interest in all that was said.
 This immense sarcophagus." acclaimed the guide, weighs forty tons. Inside of that, sir, is a steel receptacle weighing twelve tons, and inside of that is leaden casket, dramatically sealed, weighing over two tons. Inside of that rests mahog- any coffin containing the remains of the great man"
 For a moment the American was silent, as if in deep meditation. Then he said:
 "It seems to me that you've got him all right. If he ever gets out, cable me at my expense"

BuIlwhackine on Santa Fe Trail.

builWndcklng on OdnLa re iFdiI' T. B. Murdock in the Eldorado Repub-
 lican.
 Mexican greaser bullwhackers drove their teams from the nigh" side the left hand side. The whip stock was of polished hardwood. about IS inches long. The whip was rawhide, with the "belly" close up to the stock. The whip lash was of elk or deer skin; the cracker" of buckskin. The whip was ten to fifteen feet long. There were twenty-six wagons in a train, one being the mess" wagon. The wagon boss and his assistant rode mules, one of them usually going ahead to select the camping places. There were six yoke of Mexican steers to a wagon. with bunch" behind the train to take the places of the lame and lazy. The cooks and roustabouts looked after the extra animals. The wagons were packed" in V shape on going into camp, for pro lection and convenience in yoking up the oxen.
 The Santa Fe trail and the Leaveu- worth, Lawrence and Emporia stage and wagon road "forked" about mile west of 110 creek, Osage county. A frame farm house, just north of the forks" which was there in 1860 and is there today. has well of water in front of 1t. The Emporia road followed the Santa Fe trail from 110 creek to Burlingame. The Santa Fe trail is today Santa Fe avenue in Burlingame The trail passed through Council Grove and on to the Arkansas river, probably in Rice county. It followed the river to Cottonwood crossing. where it left that stream for Trinidad.
 We drove bulls for 500 miles along the Santa Fe trail in 1860, and ought to know something about it. The last legislature appropriated some money to lot of women to mark" the Santa Fe trail through the state; and it seems they have gotten up a picture of a train. The cattle are without yokes, the drivers on the off side, riding mules There are thousands of men living m Kansas who know all about everything connected with the old trail from 1857 until the Santa Fe railway drove the wagon trains out of business, and we cant imagine why the women don't consult some of them about It.

DOES NOT OWN A THING.
Gearin of Oregon Is the Poorest Man
 In the Senate.

Portland Correspondence New York Sun.
 John M. Gearin, recently appointed United States Senator from Oregon to succeed the late John H. Mitchell. will be the poorest man in the United States Senate He owns no property and has no money in the bank. It is true he has a lucrative law business. He owes nothing and does not lack at all for the comforts of life, but he has saved nothing.
 The Senator himself called attention to this fact As he walked to the union depot from his office uptown to take the train for Washington he chatte1 about the circumstances with the friends who accompanied him.
 q will be without exception the poor est man in the United States Senate, !" he said "They call it a millionaires club, but if any of them are poorer than I am in financial way, I feel sorry for them."

The firm name is now Dolph, Mallory, Simon & Gearin, c. A. Dolph having taken the place of his brother, Senator Dolph. as the head of the firm, when the latter died. The new Sena- tor is probably Oregon's most effective public speaker.

When 1t was urged that by taking this line of defense he was spelling a good tradition he at once pleaded guilty, somewhat con- fusing the minds of his hearers by adding that 1t was worth while telling a lie If it enabled him, even feebly. to initiate his great namesake. The chairman of the bench then took up his parable George Washington" he said. you have pleaded guilty in somewhat dubious language to a most serious charge. You have no right to go into the orchard of another to cut down trees. even though they be not cherry trees.

Everything of an irritating nature will be omitted as 1t Is regarded as unwise to publish on the eve of the Morocco con ference documents that might cause strife and produce a mood among the represen- tatives of the powers unconduclve to calm discussion.
 The documents published will tend to show that Frances policy has not always been the same; that an important change took place when France asked the Sul- tan to sign the treaty presented by M Tailandier and that since the treaty signed and supported by the Agreement between France, Great Britain and Spain, fl would have been difficult to safeguard German interests.
