Seven Dead;

Race War in Springfield, III.
q Serious Matter.

A serious race war between
whites AMI blacks broke out In
Springfield, Ill, the home OF Lin
coin AMI a city OF strongly north
ern sentiment, last Saturday.
AS n result the state militia has
been called out and numerous
conflicts have occurred between
the mobs AMI soldiers.
The trouble grew out of an as
sault on n white woman by a col
ored man and spread like n fire,
although probably a very small
per cent of the people are TAX
ing any part in the rioting.
still the damage done indicates
n strong sentiment against the
lco.ored race.
The negroes are fleeing to
ncighborlng towns for safety on
~ to b. toll {, "moye on" as
many Illinois towns do not per-
nit colorcl pcarsons to reside
in Their precints. The situation
Is certainly n distressing one
for the honest colorei man who
Is trying to become n cool citi-
zen AMI the offenders will no
doubt receive severe punishment.
This sal state OF affairs ought
To impress upon the better class
OF white AMI co'ored people alike
the necessity oi str.cter moral
AMI vagrancy laws for the
worthless colorcd element which
seems To be growing larger AMI
more dangerous Ia towns and
lcities. A law should be enacted
compelling every man, when call
cd upon. to To prove that he has
a legitimate means OF subsi 4 ance,
pays or makes an honest at
tempt to pay his bills all lives

ship. This In connection with
the COOL roads movement would
greatly change existing condi-
lions AMI sentiments of the peol

There never was an old-fashioned
father any more than there is new
fashioned father. There is no fashion
In goodness, no style in badness. The
father Of to-day is much the same as
Adam and his sons are much the same
as Cain, Abel and Seth. You will find
the father Of to-day like the father of
yesterday, proud of his sons and fool
ish about his daughters; shocked when
he learns any of them want to get
married; unable to see that any young
man is quite good enough for Martha !;
panied to discover that the young men
of to-day are not what young men
were when he was young man; in
clined to think that his silver-haired
wife, who has held hypnotic sway over
his very soul ever since they were mar
ried, would be lost without his hand

Study Matter of Feeds.

When grain is high in price, the
raiser Of stocks needs to study the mat
ter of feed more than at any other time
1t does not pay to give foods that
merely fill up, and that Is what the
temptation is in times when prices are
inflated for the most valuable feeds
The man that understands the con
stitution Of feeds will generally find he
can beat the high prices by raising
some kind Of crop that will give him
big supply of cheap feed. Thus, the
man that has good blue grass pasture
can conserve it, fertillze 1t and make
1t produce a very large amount of nu
tritious feed that will, for some of his
stock, make 1t possible to greatly cut
down on the grain ration, though this
cannot be cut out entirely. The mer
that have been feeding corn extensively
to steers will have to balance that corr
with clover, alfalfa, soy beans or some
thing else to decrease the amount Of
corn used, for protein in corn comes
very high, on account Of the large
amount of starch that has to be paid
for to get little protein.

Spcckb
The white specks in butter may be
caused by one or two things. Some
times when the cream is set in shallow
pans or II the cow does not give very
rich milk and the scum Of cream is
thin, little particles Of cream on the
top Of the scum will dry and do not
churn into the butter, but will remain
in their hard state and either show
specks in the butter or come to the top
Of the water in washing. The trouble
can be hindered by stralning the cream
before churning.
The other way Is caused from leav-
Ing the cream stand too long before
churning II little of the milk is
skinned off each time with the cream,
this will, of course, settle to the bot.
tom. There it gets overripe and forms
curd that will be so hard that 1t will
not break up in the churning, but
makes white specks In the butter
This can be hindered by a closer skim.
ming and by not allowing the cream
to stand as long before churning
Straining the cream Is also beneficial
In this case.

WHISTLER AND MONEY.

The Eccentric Artists Utter Lack
OF Business Instinct.
The Dundee Advertiser tells a story
illustrating Whistlers forgetfulness
and utter lack Of business instinct.
Being hard pressed for debt and hav.
ing finally been Informed he would be
sued unless check for the amount
was sent by return post, the artist
mentioned the matter to one Of his
friends who lived near him. Explain
ing that he had few pounds in the
bank, the exact sum unknown, he re.
quested his friend to stop at the bank
on the way to business to ascertain
what was required to make his &C.
count good for a check Of slightly over
500 and to deposit that amount for him
as loan.
The friend was quite willing and in
due time stood at the cashiers desk
Of Whistler's bank asking the amount
Of his balance and explaining the er.
rand. The cashier was interested. He
went to the big book Of balances, turn.
ed over few pages, wrote down some
figures and In a moment placed them
before the astonished friend. Whis.
tiers balance was more than $4,000.
The artist was delighted, but found
1t difficult to remember when he had
deposited so much money or where he
had got 1t.
