The Drum end the Sticks

1t is mighty hard for most people to re-
sist temptation to joke. Last night a band
played in the lobby of the Albany hotel In
honor of the delegates to the laundrymen's
convention. After the music was over the
band was told to return at Q and play some
more. The snare drummer asked the cigar
girl if he might leave his drum with her
until he returned. She took the drum and
nut II on a shelf behind her and then her
troubles began. The first man who step
ped up 10 the stand to buy a cigar smiled
and said:

THE CLOVER SEED CROP.

There is sure to be a very heavy
demand this season for clover seed, and
current high prices are bound to fetch
on to the market q great deal of poor
seed. There seems TO be no way to
effectively debar the inferior seed ron
the market, for as one dealer puts 1t,
eight farmers out Of ten will buy the
seed cheapest in price. There is need
of more than ordinary caution this
season, because of the urgency of the
situation. There Is no conomy in
buying seed, 40 per cent. contamina-
ton, at SIS per bushel, when clean,
high-grade seed may be had at from
$40 to $12. Low grade seeds are slow
to terminate. and a large per cent Of
even the pure seeds will fail to germi-
nate at all. If there is anything which
It will pay to buy, because of cheap
ness, it is not seeds of any kind.

KEEPING MILK AND CREAM.

During the warm weather it is din.
cult TO keep e or milk in the best
condition without ice. The greatest
trouble that creamery managers have
to contend with now is this lack Of
condition, as it Is impossible to make
good butter out of poor cream. There
are two things essential in keeping milk
or cream, proper care Of every utensil
that touches the milk, and the milk or
cream must be cooled as quickly as
possible and kept cool. A dirty milk
pail sets bacteria to wor before the
milk Is strained. Milk setting about
the stables becomes contaminated and
trouble begins. To keep milk, first see
that the cows do not drink muddy or
foul water: get the milk out of the
sta bles as quickly as possible. and then
cool h milk, n don't mix milkings.
What the dairyman most needs lis a
good. cool milk house. Ice is by far the
easiest and cheapest refrigeration, but
not all dairymen are situated SO hat
they can put up ice, and many who are
suitably situated will not do 1t. Where
ice is not used then one must resort
to cold water, or to the old-fashioned
outdoor cave. But in order to keep
milk and raise the maximum amount
of cream. or to keep cream in fit con-
dition, until 1t is delivered to the
creamery, one must ave some ar
rangement for cooling, or the work will
be done under many disadvantages.

The Way Il Read.


The editor of a little western paper
was in the habit of cheering up his
subscribers daily with a column of
short pertinent comments on their
town. their habits, and themselves. The
department on account of its intimate
personal flavor was the most popular
thing In the paper.
The editor, as he saw 1t growing In
favor, gradually allowed himself a
wider latitude In his remarks, until the
town passed much Of its town conjec-

.B|RNS Will TESTIFY
States Star Witness in Mac
kown Trial in Court at
Fort Dodge
REFUSED TO COME LAST WEEK
However, Report Circulated Saturday
That He Would Not Return to Iowa
at All, Was False States Case
Would Fail Without Birns' Presence
MANY Sensations Promised.
Special to rimes-Republlcar.

|
Webster City, Dec. 2.-The trial OF
George Mackown for embeZzlemenl
was begun this afternoon in Judge
Evans court at Fort Dodge. MackoWn
will be recalled as the dapper young
New Yorker who is charged with COM
ing to Webster City five years ago and
dipping the Northwestern Felt Shoe
company of this city, out of several
thousand dollars. then to hide his al
legged crime, burning TO the ground the
company's magnificent 100000 felt
shoe factory. Mackown was convicted
charge. A new trial, however. was
granted because of local prejudice
against the man. On this same ground,
the embezzlement case has been taken
to Fort Dodge.
A report that Louis Birns, Of New
York, the states star witness, would,
not be present at the trial beginning
today, was circulated in this city Sat
urday. There Is nothing in it. how
ever Birns refused to come last week
because he wished to eat his Thanks
giving dinner at home, but having
dined upon turkey, the witness signi-
fled his Willingness to return to Iowa
and is in court this afternoon ready
to take the stand whenever called
upon.
Birns is the one man to whom the
state can complete it's chain of evil
dence on the embezzlement charge,
and without his presence the states
case must fail. Hence the sensation
created here Saturday may well be
imagined when the above report was
given circulation. A refusal to return
to Iowa would be well within his rights
too, for being a nonresident of this
state he need not come unless he
wishes to.
The trial begun this afternoon will
be fully as interesting and as full Of
sensations as the one in this city last
month. Attorney A. N. Boeye, of this
city, is the chief prosecutor, but will
be assisted by County Attorney Price
of Fort Dodge, instead of County At
torney Porter, of this city, who APP
peared in the case last month. 1t is
customary when change Of venue is
granted, for the county attorney of the
county where the case is taken, to act
in conjunction with any other attor-
ney retained by the county prosecuting
the action. Attorneys d. G. Chase and
Wesley Martin, who defended Mac
kown in. the former case, are still his
attorneys and are prepared to make
desperate fight. Mackown. himself, Is
in excellent spirits and assures his
friends he will be acquitted. To those
not conversant with the new testimony
the defendant claims he will introduce,
however it looks as tho the state had
a clear case and that MackoWn is
headed direct for the penitentiary.

BETRAYS HIS BROTHER.
Cause. Him to Be Arrested for Paltry
Reward.


Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, Dec. 2.--Davenport polce
officers believe Louis Hasson to be the
meanest brother of whom they nave
ever heard Their opinion is due to the
fact that Hasson went to the Armour
Packing company and stated that for
Il certain fee, he would reveal the
name of man who had stolen
goose at the plant. When told he
would be paid for such information,
he said his brother. Albert Hasson,
was the guilty party. Hasson next
went to the Western Flour Mill COM
pany and informed Manager Allen
he knew party that had stolen a
sack of flour there and for reward
of 81, he would reveal the name Of
the guilty party. Mr.. Allen paid over
the dollar and likewise was informed
that brother Albert had stolen the
flour. Previous to being informed of
the alleged thefts. neither the pack
ing plant or the milling company had
missed any merchandise.
The mother and sister of the two
young men were both placed on the
stand and under oath declared neither
the alleged goose or the flour had been
brought to their home. The managers
of the packing plant and the flour mill
both stated they knew of neither a
goose or sack of -four being stolen. 1t
was then ascertained that Louis Has
son had made the charge against his
brother merely for the purpose of Sc
curing reward for the false informa-
ton. The complainant was given Sc
we're rebuke, and the innocent brother
discharged.
