Advantages OF the Separator.

Not only does he machine secure
practically all the butter fat, but II
delivers the skim milk in a sweet.
warm, and undilutrd condition ready
to be fed TO the calves. Very few
dairy utensils are needed. as the milk
is separated as soon as it comes from
the COW and the skim milk is fed at
once
Less work is required TO handle the
milk in this manner than with the
other methods.
The cream delivered from the sep
arator is of uniform richness; it has
had all the tibrous and foreign matter
removed. The milk has not absorbed
bad tiavors and odors from standing
around and the cream is in excellent
condition for ripening. Thus there is
gain in the quantity and quality OF
butter obtained.
Not only is the centrifugal sepa-
rator of advantage in the production
OF fine butter. but il is equally adyan
tageCus in the publication of milk and
cream for direct human consumption.
Diaries improve the quality OF their
milk very much by running it through
the separator and then mix the milk
and c cam before bottling il.
The average farmer cannot afford to
maui the wnOle mix 10 the creamery,
even if he is within hauling distance
and the roads are good. The skim
milk often comes back in a cold. half
sour and contaminated condition,
which is unfit for feeding purposes.
Even if it does come back in good
condition, it is Impossible to feed 1t
regularly, and it is far from being
equal to hand separator milk. Too
much time is required TO haul it to the
creamery compared to the length Of
time r@lured to separate it at home
by band. The hand separator cream,
by careful handling, need not be hauled
to the creamery oftener than every
Other day during the summer and per-
haps not oftener than once in three
days during the winter months.

kon railway.
MI. Cornforth was for many Years
one OF the best known men in Denver
In both business and political circles
and few men could boast as many
friends
His death, coming suddenly, cut
shcrt a career of business and rail

HEPBURN FIGHTS

COUNCIL, Idaho. Sept S.--The re-
publican state and national campaign
was opened in Idaho this evening al d
mass meeting here, at which the
principle speaker ~as United States
Senator Weldon d. Hepburn. Senator
Hepburn was introduced to large
audience that had assembled IN the
Eagle hall by Il. M. Height In a well
wOrded address.
The senator plunged into issues
OF national import in clear. logical
language with no effort at oratorlcal
establishment lie traced out the
great achievements OF the nation
since It's foundation and especially
pointed out the great progress made
by the republican party when It held
the reins Of government.
When Senator Hepburn mentioned
the name OF William II. Taft there
was prolonged applause. The speak
er traced the party's history down
TO the present.
The republican party. he says, has
stood as the bulwark and been the
stay OF the Union Reference 10 the
protective tarlff as the anchor OF the
republican party and the source OF
national prosperity brought forth a
long round OF applause.
The election OF United States sena-
tor by the direct primary was men
toned and was called impraetIcable
and wrong. He declared his unalter-
able purpose TO fight as long as 1t IL

STANDARD OIL co.
FILES ANSWER
Fights ReOpening of the $20,OOO,-
900 Fine Case.

CHICAGO. Sept. 1O.-The stand
ard Oil company today filed its
answer to the petition filed by the
government some time ago asking for
a re-hearing OF the case wherein
Judge Lands imposed a S29 200, 600
fine on the company for violation OF
the shipping rate clause of the inter-
state commerce law. The govern
ment in it's petition In asking for
a re-hearing in the case maintains
that the fact that the company was
ignorant OF the published rate Is
not a valid excuse for the violation
of II, and that the supreme court
ruled that It is the duty OF the
shipper to ascertain the rates. The
Standard OIL company in its answer
denies that the court ever ruled on
this question. denies that Il Is in
cumbent upon the shipper TO inform
himself as 10 the rate. and prays the
court not TO grant a re-opening Of
the case.

SOCIALISTS soRn on BRYAN
Opposed % HIS Proposed Attack on
the Party.

NEW YORK. Sept. lO.-That the
attack on socialism recently made
by President Samuel Gompers. OF the
American Federation OF Labor, is to
be repeated by William ]. Bryan In
the address to be delivered by the
Nebraskan in this city a week from
today, is rumor that has been cir
culated here, appartenly with some
basis Of authority. As a result, the
socialists Of the city are up in arms
and may decide, II the report proves
true. to hold an opposition meeting
The criticisms OF Gompers, In
which he intimated that the money
to pay for the red special tour OF
Eugene v. Debs was furnished by
capitalists, have aroused much in
dignation in labor circles. II is de-
clared that Gompers willfully re-
sorted to falsehood in order to help
Bryan and iIJure the socialist cause
among the woTkingmen.
Socialists declare that the "red
special" is by no means the ''luxuri-
GUS palace train" of Mr.. Gompers'
imagination and that the $4,000
necessary to cover the expenses OF
the 10000 mile tour Is being raised
by small contributions OF the work
ingmen. All such contributions are
made public by the national secre-
tary at stated intervals, and the
largest sum appearing in the report
was 5000.
According to rumor, Mr.. Bryan's
attack on socialism will not be OF a
personal nature. but will be devoted
to a consideration of the socialist
theories in their various forms. He
will allege that democracy is d.
rectly opposed to socialism and that
the republican party is responsible
for the great growth of the MARKHAM
party in this country. He will at
tempt to demonstrate that should the
cause he represents be defeated In
november there may be dangerous
growth OF socialism in the United
States during the next decade or SO.
One Of the main purposes OF this
proposed address is to disprove the
charge so frequently made against
him by political opponents in the
east, as well as large element that,
he contends. does not understand
him, that his political doctrines are
tinctured with socialism. He will
attempt to show that what he advo-
Gates in government leads directly
away from socialism, whereas re-
publican principles and practices tend
strongly to stimulate the growth or
AS Mr. Bryan has never fully ex-
plotted this theme before in a speech,
although he has touched upon it con-
siderably. 1t is believed that should
he put his personal intention into
force in his New York address II
will create one of the sensations OF
the campaign.

CONFESSIONS BY RAcHUs wIFE
Tells OF Threat 70 KIN Her and
Husband.

LEWISTON. Idaho. Sept. lo.--
Mrs. Nancy Bachus, frall little wo-
man with an iron nerve. has made
two confessions relative to the muir
der Of her husband. ]. NJ. Bachus,
the young man who was murdered
in his home near GIfford. Friday
night. The first confession came to
light today. when Coroner Clyde Vas
sar filed the verdict of the jury with
the county clerk. and as result a
warrant has been issued for Russell
Mccall. l7-year-old youth. on whom
Mrs. Bachus placed her first suspic-
Ions.
In her confession made yesterday
Il is certain that she repudiated her
first confession. giving as her reason
for accusing young Mccall that she
holds a grudge against him. In her
first confession she declared that Nc
Call came to her at 0 O'Clock on the
evening Of the murder and told her
that Bachus would be killed at s
o'clock and that she would meet
like fate II she did not get away from
the house.
This little woman, who told this
improbable story while her husbands
charred body was lying as il fell.
undoubtedly Is in possession Of more
facts, but her second confession, i'm
plicating Anderson, is generally be-
lieved. That she and Anderson plot
ted the crime seems certain. In
cornfield back OF the house foot
tracks show where they met, probab-
ly early in the evening.
That she lured her husband to the
house and placed a chair so that
he could easily come within range
OF the rife is the theory advanced
by the officials. according to a state
ment made this evening. Her trunk
was packed an 1t was found outside
Of the house, although practically no
other effects were saved. Bachus
must have fallen from his chair when
the fatal shot was fired, and 1t Is
logical to believe that his dead body
was dragged Just outside OF the door
and placed over the sugar sack, evil
IDENTIFY for the purpose Of showing
that he was burned to death while
trying to save the household ef-
fects.
In some circles 1t Is believed that
Mrs. Bachus committed the crime.
She is an expert rlfiewoman and her
aim is unerring. but It is deemed
more probable that she was aided
In the crime. That further evidence
will be brought out IL still almost
certain, for the woman is still nerv-
BUS and her confession has been
relief to her.

the theft no suspicion was directed
to Fitzgerald. but he was dismissed
from the service OF the government
because OF negligence in looking
after its interests. Lately. howyer,
detectives had been working on the
case and claimed to have evidence
that Fitzgerald had gone TO a wealthy
business man In the city and asked
him to dispose OF In the course OF
his business a $1,000 bill. The
other discriminating evidence claimed
BY the detectives was that Fitzgerald
had lived beyond his means Of man
of his station In life, and also that
be had made some extensive invest
ments in real estate which involved
large sums OF money. The state of
ficials after a careful examination OF
all the evidence concluded that It
was not sufficient to bring about a
conviction, and accordingly dismissed
the case.
