Big Program Being Arranged for
June 20 and Fl.
OLD FASHIONED BASKET DINNER
AT LAKESIDE PARK FIRST DAY.
Industrial Parade. Musical and Other En-.
tsrtainments at MadlsonviIIe on
Second Day.

A meeting, called by Jno. b.
Atkinson, Commissioner for Hop
kins county for Home Coming
Week at Louisville, was held in
the County Judges room at the
court house in Madisonville Fri
day afternoon last, at 8 O'Clock,
for the purpose of taking up the
work of arranging for a Home
Coming Day or days to be eel
ebraied in Hopkins county dur
ing the week of June 18th, which
follows the Home Coming Week
at Louisville. A number of Mad
isonville and Darlington busi
ness and newspaper men were
present. Judge Jno. q. b. Hall,
Vice Commissioner for Hopkins
county, was made chairman of
the meeting. After taking the
chair the Judge made a brief
statement Of the purpose of the
meeting and asked the pleasure
of those present. Col. w, l..
Gordon made talk advocating
the appointment of an Executive
Committee of few working
members to whom should be left
the selection and appointment of
subcommittee and the planning
and carrying out of line of
suitable entertainment for the
proper celebration of the occa-
sion on which the couptry's hos
pitality is to be extended TO the
home comers. He moved the
appointment of the following
gentlemen TO constitute this
committee, with the powers as
stated G. G. Givens, /. Bailey,
Jno. B. Brasher, OF Madison
vile; Frank ID. Rash, Earling-
ton; w. II, Weir, Hanson;
David Morrow, N b o; VIM.
Lynch, Dawson Springs. After
some discussion as to size of the
committee the motion was un-
animously adopted. O. @. Givens
was made chairman of the com.
mittee.
No details of the celebration
we're discussed in the meeting.
The feature which seemed to be
favored by most of the leaders
in the movement, however,
around which to group any other
entertainment, was an old fash
ioned basket picnic to which all
citizens Of Hopkins county
would be invited and at which
they would entertain all friends
and visitors. The day could be
greatly enlivened by series of
friendly athletic and other con
tests which an active Committee
on Entertainments would ar
range.
Executive Committee Plans.
The Executive Committe held
a meeting at Madisonville Tues
day afternoon at which time
plans were laid for the celebra-
tion and committees appointed
to carry out the details of two
days entertainment, one day at
Madisonville and one at Earling-.
ton. The days selected are We'd
nesday and Thursday, June 20th
and 21st.
On June Goth there will be
held mammoth old fashioned
basket picnic at Lakeside Park,

and acquatic sports and contests
as may be arranged by com
mittee on amusements, and with
speaking. music and other di-
versions. Jas. r. Rash, as Vice

thing. This is expected to prove
great feature. In the after
noon an entertainment will be
arranged to be given at the fair
grounds, the direction of Q. @.
Givens, who is made chairman

probable that Mr.. Givens will

musical attraction for this oc-
casion. The evening of the
second days celebration Will be
occupied with a musical enter
tainment to he given at the

Big Gathering at Louisville.
The plans for Home Coming
Week In Louisville, June 13 II,
are practically complete, and
any one at all familiar with
them will agree that they point
to the largest gathering in the
history of the South. The very
lowest estimate, based upon ac-
ceptance cards and letters on

Louisville Commercial Cl b,
point to an attendance OF over
55. 900 ex Kentuckians. Only a

WASHINGTON.
Eleven Million Pieces Mail Last
Year Land in Dead Letter
Office.
John Paul Jones' Likeness May Be Put on
Postage Stamps

Washington, May 22.-Em-
ployes in the north wing of the
capitol witnessed a novel scene
in the senate ladies' gallery Fri
day morning, which illustrates
the keen interest taken in the
progress of the rate bill. A few
minutes before 10 O'Clock a well
dressed, elderly woman entered
the gallery's swinging doors and
made her way to the front seats.
Drawing from her capacious
shopping bag a collection of silks
and laces she placidly threaded a
needle and proceeded to the
making Of a waist. Even after
the galleries were filled and the
senators had begun work she
piled her needle. Not until the
routine business was over and the
rate bill was trotted out did she
put her sewing aside. The inter
est now naturally centers around
the heated controversy in which
the president finds himself with
Senators Tillman and Bailey and
former Senator Chandler, since
the rate bill itself is settled, and
settled successfully. President
Roosevelt has announced himself
as pleased with the measure, and
so have radicals and conserva-
tives alike. Everybody, indeed,
is rejoicing that a practicable
and finished piece of legislation
has been accomplished, instead
of a tentative measure which
would still leave shippers and
carriers up in the air.

Officers in the war and navy
departments, while processing to
regard as purely imaginative re-
cent reports from England and
Germany that the United States
government has been an active
and successful bidder in the
worlds markets for foreign mill
tary and naval secrets, are really
very much stirred up over the
matter. The charges all come
from the temporary disappear
ance from the office of the Eng
lish admiralty of the plans of the
new English monster battleship
the Dreadnaught. Foreign gov
ernments, particularly those
deeply interested In the balance
of war power in Europe, where
the smallest advantage is care
fully guarded lest it be shared by
possible adversary, are just at
present unusually prone to allege
spying and bribery against oUher
governments. 1t is a departure,
however, for the United States to
be charged with this kind of
work, and officials, in resenting
such a procedure, do so the more
strongly because of the absolute
proof of falsity.

and he has not rendered the district
thirty cents worth of service. He
has done nothing whatever for the
district. He has not nerve to
make a fight against the destruc-
tion of Fort Niobrara. He would
be afraid to offend Teddy and the
autocrats that run the admins
tration.
His so-called Kinkaid homestead
bill has been curse to the district.
1t has helped to break k up some
cattle ranches by squatters who
have already left the country. 1t
brought many people into the dis
trict looking for homesteads, and
when they could not get home
steads on good land they went
away cursing the country. Be-
sides this, it gave the people of
eastern Nebraska and western
Iowa the idea that district where
you could get $40 acres of home
stead at this time in the twentieth
century was a country that was all
no good. 1t would have been a
blessing for the district if it never
heard of Kinkaid bill.
1t will take five years to recover
from the bad advertising that the
district got through this Kinkaid
homestead law. But Kinkaid, like
Mccarthy, is satisfactory to the
railroads. They want boneless
and spineless politicians and no
more boneless and spineless poll
ticians ever represented two dis
tricts than John Mccarthy of the
Third district and Moses P. Kin
kaid of the Sixth district.

Cream Testing at Central
LabOra tories.

More than 10000 dairymen in
Nebraska are interested in the test
ing of cream, and as all cream is
now tested at the central cream
cry, perhaps a brief description
of testing at central laboratory
will be of interest.
Such laboratory is especially
fitted for the purpose, being we'll
lighted, steam heated, furnished
with every facility for testing, and
what is equally important, the
help do nothing but test cream,
are not interrupted to wait upon
customers, and neither is the tenn
perature of the room suddenly
chilled by the opening of an outer
door admitting rush of cold air;
the question of proper temperature
is all important in cream testing;
when the test is made, if the tenn
perature is too high, that is great
ly above 14Oo F., the butter fat
is expanded and the reading of the
test will be too high; if, on the
contrary, the temperature is too
low, that is below 1909 the fat
contracts and the reading is too
low; the fat separated in Babcock
test solidiies at 1909 and it is i'm
possible to get a correct reading
in such case. It is only in we'll
equipped laboratory that the prop
er temperature necessary in the
testing of cream can be secured
and maintained.
The operator places a tray of
cream samples in a dish of warm
water in order to secure a proper
temperature, and then balances -
test bottles on delicately adjusted
cream scale. Taking long glass

Fort NiObrara Lost.

The loss of the military post at
Fort Niobrara will be felt by the
whole of northern Nebraska, and
especially by the Third district,
which is a grain raising section.
This post has been the means of
using hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of food products of
the Third district of Nebraska for
many, many years. And yet, for
all we have in name acongression-
al representative in Washington,
this fort is to be abandoned without
so much as gun being fired by that
same in an effort to hold the post,
Perhaps he hasn't the ammunition
that is required to fire guns in con-
gress. There was a chance for
Mr.. Mccarthy. who has now had
four years of experience and who
ought to by this tim be able to find
his way around the capitol build
ing. to do something for his con-
stituents. But then who ever
heard of Mccarthy, in all of his
four years, doing anything for his
constituents but forgetting them!
Norfolk News.
We submit the foregoing state
ment, published by the Norfolk
Daily News, a republican news
paper, showing it's judgmentof the
worthless character of congress
man Mccarthy of the Third con-
gressional district, being the dis
trict just east of Holt county. The
Independent fully concurs in what
the Norfolk News says. We would
not expect any post office owned
sheet like the Frontier to admit the
truth as the Norfolk News does.
The News is entitled to credit for
fearless arraignment of faithless
Congressman Mccarthy.
But what about Congressman
Kinkaid, the spineless and bone
less politician from the big Sixth
district? Fort Niobrara is in Kin
kaid's district and not in Nc
Carthy's district. A very large
part of the flour and grain used at
the Fort is furnished by the peo-
pie of this district. All the hay
used at the Fort is furnished by
the people of this district. All
the wood used at this Fort is fur
nished by the people of this dis
trict. Practically all the butter.
eggs and poultry used at the Fort
is furnished by the people of this
district. And while the loss of
Fort Niobrara is injurious to the
Third district, represented by Nc
Carthy, the loss to the Sixth dis
trict, represented by spineless and
boneless Congressman Kinkaid, is
several times as great. But what
can the people expect when they
put a putty man in congress-
During his entire four years In
