TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY
AND INCREASE THE
QUANTITY OF
BUTTER.

Heat a quantity of good de-
odorized cooking Cotton seed)
oil to about blood heat and just
before beginning to churn add
to the milk, using about one
third of teacupful to each gal
lon of milk and proceed as usual.
Good cooking oil can be bought
from any progressive grocer at
about so cents os less per gallon,
which is about 6 IL cents per
pound.
A three-gallon churning will
take about half pound of oil.
1t will hasten the coming Of the
butter, assist in its better collec-
ton, improve the quality of both
it and the buttermilk, and, be-
ing returned as butter, will give,
with the better collection of the
butter fat, an increased yield of
a pound to a pound and a half of
butter, and profit equal to the
difference between the selling
price of butter and the cost price
of the oil.

Nicholas IL, inspired by a senti-
ment of filial piety, preferred
to retain the rank which his
father had bestowed upon him.
The crowd, unfortunately, is
simply. 1t appreciates only the
outward symbol. In a resolve
which was dictated by so touch
ing a motive it perceives moth
ing but excessive modesty. "He
does not wish to command" it
argued; that means that he
does not know how to COM
mand; he is irresolute and
weak"
Ionce asked a high dignitary
who was in the habit of making
regular personal reports to the
Emperor, What do you think
of the Sovereign "The Colo
nell" hea answered, after a mo-
ment's reflection. Gle is a man
of very quick understanding,
for whom a hint is quite suffi-
cient-the very antithesis of his
father. Alexander III. was
somewhat dull and only grasped
the real bearings of any subject
with difficulty. Every idea or
projected measure had to be ex-
planned to him at great length,
and often, when the explana-
tions were at an end, he would
exclaim: "No, l cannot under
stand; you will explain it more
fully to me next time
with Nicholas H., on the
contrary, an encounter is quite
a pleasure. Nothing could be
more pleasanter than to make
him a report. He interrupts
you before you have finished al
most, with a Very well, what
you say is perfectly true. | am
entirely of your opinion Only
you have hardly turned your
back before somebody else
has come upon the scene and ex-
presses an opinion Numerically
opposite to yours. Immediately
the Emperor adopts the new
point of view. With Alexander
III. one never had these unpleas-
ant surprises. The difficulty
with which he adopted a new
idea was the surest guarantee
that once it had his approval he
would never afterwards discard
it. For this reason some of the
ministers of the late Czar-M.
White, for instance-eXercised

 Monday Doctor $. Ben Smith started from Hermosillo for La Barranca where he will superin- tend the work of a tunnel one thousand feet in length that will cut the Candelera vein at depth of several hundred feet. In the upper workings the Candelera has proved very rich in gold, and some years ago was working at profit by reducing the ores with arras tras, the rock being packed on the backs of burros from the top of the mountain above down to the town, where the arrastras were in opera tion. The tunnel will cut the vein far below the old workings and give great blacks" of rich ore. that will mill very profitably. The property is owned by Morton Lock- wood and Max Marks of Hermosillo, and they have enlisted Oklahoma capital in developing the enter prise.

STATEMENT BY BANK

Boston, March Ex-Governor Cur tis Guild, jr., notified the police to- day that two persons, man and a woman were paying their bills in various cities of the country with checks on the National Shawmut bank of this city and bearing the forged signature of the governor The last check which has come to light bore the endorsement of w. Harcourt Bentley, and deposited in the Nation al bank of commerce in Denver. The first check was used in Philadelphia From information received at the State house it appears that the method used to inspire confidence was to dictate letters to the public stenographer in the hotels addressed to Governor Guild who is assumed to be the uncle of the writer.
 The National Shawmut bank is sued the following statement to-day: At the request of Governor Curtis Guild, jr., we wish to state that he has no bank account with us and checks purporting to be signed by him against despposis in this bank and purporting to be certified by us as good are forgeries.

The greatest concern is felt, however. for the kings safety owing to the activity of the Catalonia reyolutionaries and anarchists who re- gently have caused almost reign of terror in this city. There have been five bomb explosions here, since Jan. l. and not culprit has been caught Barcelona was placarded few days ago with announcements that an at tempt would be made to kill the king If he should come here. The posters were torn down. ..-.a .,....,...-.
 In addition to the troops who will line the routes wherever the king goes practically all the civil guards in Spain. except detachments in Andalu- sin, are concentrated here, and 800 po- lice have been specially drafted for this service

Charges Involving Indian Land Rights
 Made Against Secretary.


 Washington. March D. Sensational allegations affecting Secretary Gar field of the department of the interior are partially disclosed in an inquiry which congress is about to make into the conduct and awards Of the recent Chickasaw-Choctaw citizenship com mission.
 The demand for the investigation comes from Senator Tillman of South Carolina and Representative Stephens of Texas. Upon resolution of the senate. introduced by the former. At. torney General Bonaparte and Secre- tary Garfield have been directed to produce all papers in their possession bearing on the case. Representative Stephens has been trying to get an in- vestlgation for some time. but the committee on judiciary pigeonhOled the subject.
 In brief. it is alleged that the mem bers of tho Chickasaw-C -Choctaw citi zenship commission were bribed and that the interior department failed full ly to investigate the affair when it was called to it's attention. The land and other property rights of the In- dlans were said to be involved.
 Secretary Garfield denied that he got any sworn ar tangible evidence of brib- cry. The secretary showed a letter he had written to Senator Foraker in which he sfigmatlzed as false the charge that he had failed to lnvesti- gate the charges acninSt the Chicka- saw-ChOctaw citizenship commission.
