During the trial of Kate 'Lemasters
in federal court Friday evening, two
witnesses, as we'll as the defendant,
related the method of the Fairmont
Brewing Company in distributing
beer in this county, from which re-
cital Judge A. G. Dayton was led to
inquire into the matter, after which
after the jury had retired to act on
the evidence and bring in a verdict,
he made further inquiry and then in
sentencing the woman. whom the
jury found guilty of an internal rev.
enue violation, he stated that in his
judgment the brewing company need
ed both state and federal investiga-
ton, and, If the officers of the COM
pany were to be found guilty In his
court he would ine them $1,000
each and send them to prison for two
years
The evidence disclosed that three
or more car loads of beer were ship
ped from the brewery to Enterprise
every week and distributed from that
point, deliveries being made from
house to house and the agent collect
ing for the beer on pay days. The
woman claimed she bought at retail
from the agent more than once.

A GOOD SHOWING
By the Mineral Point Creamery
Company.
INCREASING INDUSTRIES
Weekly Product of 500 Gallons of
Ice Cream, $500 Pounds OF
Cheese, $500 Pounds
of Butter.

The Mineral Point Creamery COM
pany made and sold last week close
to 500 gallons of their Perfection
Pasteurized Ice Cream. Their cream
is giving splendid satisfaction. They
are getting letters right along from
their customers stating that it is the
finest ice cream they ever sold; and,
not like most ice cream manufac-
turers, instead of their cream getting
poorer it is getting better. No poor
cream comes from The Mineral Point
Creamery company. They have what
is considered the best ice cream
freezer that has yet been manufac-
tured: and the capacity is from 800 to
600 gallons per hour. So there is no
order too small or too large for them
to fill. The demand for their cream is
increasing every day and about every
train leaves our station has a load of
their cream. Thoroughly pasteuriz-
ing cream before freezing is the only
correct system. All the best ice cream
makers have decided that fact. 1t
improves the flavor and makes it
healthful food product, as it destroys
all disease germs.
In addition to the above, the

the country. Their products include
ice, heat, light, and power; and they
also do the pumping for the city water

The last piece of machinery to go
