Whereas, The intimate relation
long held by the deceased with the

the confident hope that his spirit is
with those, who having fought the

Mr.. A. P. Ryger, was home
the first of the week from an of.
fetal visit to number of the
creameries of the state. He says
that MS experience so far has
convinced him that if South Oak
ota is to secure and maintain a
reputation as a butter producer,
stricter methods must be observ-
ed in the receiving of cream
He states that cream is constantly
being brought to the creameries
that is unfit for use, and that the
buttermaker often accepts and
uses this spoiled cream rather
than lose a patron. He says that
the whole state is receiving a
blackeye from this cause, the but
ter being unable to keep sweet
in cold storage, and consequent.
ly our buttermakers are not re.
ceivlng the price they should for
their product. He says that in
one case he found that cream
was being taken in that was four
days ole, and had changed it's
original composition and was to-.
tally urfit FOR human food. It is
the duty of the inspector to get
after these violations of the pure
food laws in the interest of the
public health. and in doing so he
is rendering service to the
creamery interests of the state
as we'll, for only by the assur.
ance of wholesome and perfect
quality of butter from the cream.
cries of the state can a proper
market be maintained and profit.
able returns be received for
their dairy products.

About 2 O'Clock this (Friday)
afternoon, Ed Schleis man when
he stepped to the rear door OF
the meat market, saw his butch
er, Mike Berlein sitting on the
steps leading to the basement
with both of his wrists cut.
Giving the alarm the man was
hastily taken across the street
to DR.. kriesel's Office. and the
blood flow staunched How Ion g
the man had been bleeding is
unknown, but the basement floor
was for several yards covered
with blood, and the knife with
which the deed was done was
found on the floor. The man re-
fused to give any reason for his
act. He was just able to speak
when discovered and refused to
say anything further than that
he asked the forgiveness of his
brothers and sisters. He has a
brother at Chaska, Mimi, and
sister in Montana, and had
been employed in his present
place of work for about a year,
and has been quiet, industrious
and temperate, and no cause is
known for his desire to commit
suicide.
