WRITE TO BONAPARTE.

Chicago. Sept 30-Josephus Daniel
chairman of the Democratic press COM
mittee today made public a letter writ
ten to Attorney General Bonaparte at
the instance of the Democratic national
committee asking the attorney general
how many of the 2S7 so called trusts of
stiaer country aa have been proceeded
against in1 ithe7 courts by the federal
government and how many more cases
he expects to file.
Mr. Daniels letter takes only hun
dred words, but appended to it is a
list of 2S7 alleged trusts, taken he
says, from a list of "Moody's Manual
of Corporation Securities"
He asks also for the amount of
fines collected from defendant
trusts" and the amount of fines
standing against them but not col
lected.
In connection with this letter Mr..
Daniels made the following state
ment:
"It is generally that under Re
publican administrations the oil trust
had a monopoly of the old fields, and
that under the Roosevelt administra-
ton 1t has been able to dictate the
production of oil in new territory, is
a matter of common notorfety. The
Standard Oil trust has not been put
of its product. OF the 2S7 trusts in
the United States there have been
prosecutions of but few and the
aggregate fines collected will not ex-
ceed $150,OO0. The fines in the beef
trust cases may be said to have been
virtually a license paid to continue
the violation of the law. The public
has paid the fines against the meat
trust 10000 times over. If 2S7
trusts can go on contrary to law and
only be fined it may be asked of Mr..
Roosevelt would not deeds speak
louder than words? p
The Democratic committee today
sent a letter to Attorney General
Bonaparte with a list of the 287
trusts and asked him to mark those
prosecuted and also ask him why he
did not take up the steel trust which
received more benefits than any other
from this government and contributed
the most to the Republican campaign
fund

this ordinance is a fine of not less than

The dairymen must keep only
healthy cows in their herd, must keep
these animals clean and provide clean
and sanitary quarters in which to milk
them, the cans must be kept clean, the
milk must be fresh and kept from eX-

cream and milk denots also come un-

sanitary regulations and cleanliness.
But the dispensers of milk have no

consumer pays the freight, and then
some.
If the ordinance comes up to ex-

BEGIN WORK IN EARNEST
Judge Dana Secures Enough Jurors to
Do Business.

In district court today a few more
jurors were dismissed on good and
valid excuses, but a sufficient number
remained for the immediate business
on hand. Only one juror was chal-
lenged for the first case, that of state
against Myers and others. Myers ana
two other men, under separate trial,
will be tried for assault and battery
on appeal from the court of Topeka.
One case was easily settled without
the aid of the jury. John Lasley, an
Indian from the reservation, charged
with assault and attempt r. Kill upon
a brother warrior, was alioWeo 70

assault and battery, and fined S5 ana

when he landed on one William Lewis,
also an Indian, with "a large glass,
quart whisky bottle, more particular
description of which bottle is unknown
to this affiant.'' 1t appears that ne
used this unusually Large, quart
whisky bottle" to good advantage, ana
trimmed his brother brave to tare-
ye-well. The fight occurred in a ne

twain were looking upon tne nome

FOR Pure MILK.
New Inspection Ordinance Goes
Into Effect Tomorrow.
Every One Who Supplies Topeka
People Must Register.
THE PRICE GOES UP.
Advance of One Cent Per Quart
to Consumers.
Users Will Thus Pay for Cost
Cf Department.
THE PRICE GOES UP.

A new milk inspection ordinance
goes into effect here tomorrow. BY
its provisions every person selling
milk in this city must be registered
in the city clerks Office, that is to
say. give their names and addresses
and places of business. They must
also register their cows and give a
sufficient description of each animal
to enable the inspector to check ie up
when inspecting the herd. Every
dairyman selling milk in this city
must have his wagons and milk cans
numbered. Every milk depot in the
city must exercise the uttermost of
care and vigilance in keeping the
milk cold and clean.
A city milk inspector. DR.. Campbell
OF Hiawatha will assume charge of
this department tomorrow and will
inspect and score all the dairies sup
plying milk for this city and inspect
all their COWS and report on their
condition at least twice a. year. He
will also test milk sold here at any
time and place that may suit him.
And in the meantime the price of
milk in Topeka has been advanced
one cent on the quart to take effect
tomorrow, as result of this afore-
said milk ordinance.
The expense of milk inspection to
the dairyman is the cost of registra-
tion. 81 per year and for the tags and
numbers for wagons and cans. A
COW will give about five quarts of
milk 3. day. year in and out or over
1900 quarts per year. so the total
cost OF inspection would be less than
two cents per 100 quarts. and the
raise in prices is one cent per quart.
OF course there is the added cost to
secure cleanliness and sanitation and
purity.
The cost Of inspection. as does
everything else in this world in the
shape of regulation, falls upon the
consumer. But the consumer profits
thereby in getting clean and pure
milk. Mayor Green stated today that
DR.. Campbell, the new inspector.
would be here tomorrow. He is a
graduate chemist and veterinarian of
experience and has the recommends
ton of the head of the State Agricul-
tural college at Manhattan. The in
spector receives a salary of $1,000 per
year and must put up a bond of $500.
He must test the milk cows for
tuberculosis for other disease and
check them all up twice a year. He
must score the dairies and enforce the
laws of cleanliness and sanitation. He
must conduct "A chemical test of the
milk and see that the number of
bacteria are within the health limit.
When this department has become
organized Mayor Green is confident
that the consumers here will get
pure. clean milk from healthy cows.
II this Is accomplished the new milk
ordinance is well worth while.
The dairymen have been besieging
the city clerks office all week for in
formation regarding the workings of
