The New York Agricultural Depart
snent has changed its attitude toward
oleomargarine. Much Of the restrIc-
tive legislation against the imitation
butter originated and had its strongest
Impulse from the New York dairymen.
Now the Department has abandoned
the effort to absolutely prohibit the sale
of oleomargarine in New York, but will
recognize its selling and regulate 1t. The
new regulations allow the selling every
where. provided the imitation is not COL
pred and is labeled "oleomargarine" in
letters not less than three-eighths of an
inch high on the wrappers and indented
into each block. 1t must not be SOLD in
quantities of less than five pounds. and
hotels and boarding houses which fur
nish oleomargarine in place of butter
must SO state the fact upon their menu
cards.

THE INFAa,,slAToRY sissoNs.

Representative sfssons. of Mississippi
is getting desepvedly severe chas'ise-
ment from -ehe more sensible Of the
Southern papers, xhich see the hui'
that he is doing to their section oy ms
brutal utterances.. Commenting upon
it, the Charleston News and Courier
says that itids consing to oeheVe 'ha'
I'VE have entireiy'too much talking ana
far too much OF the wrong kind of talk
ing at the Confederate Reunions
The Richmond News Leader says that
| 1t would be good idea to have regular
committees appointed in advance, whose
duty it would be to read and censor all
papers, orations essays, addresses,
speeches and bursts of eloquence which
will be allowed to go before the people.
The News Leader continues:
"This world knows no possession
more dangerous than combination OF
weak head and glib tongue, an unsteady
brain and a ready flow of words. we
have fallen irto the habit or having
these Reunions used as occasions for
trying out young men and young women
supposed to have the gift of oratory,
and letting them show what they can
do at the expense of wearied and bored
old soldiers. At the Memphis Glenn
Reunion the other day a good deal OF
foolishness was talked, and there were
bursts of eloquence' which made the
sensible and hard-headed veterans tired
The orators seemed to be laboring to
catch applause by saying silly and ex-
treme things. Judging from some of
the speeches. these amateur warriors
and statesmen were ready to hoist the
Confederate flag and move against
Washington forthwith"
The Columbia Is. c. State says:
at is a great pity that any Confeder-
ate Veterans Reunion should be dis
graced and dishonored by any such
plainly brutal speech as that of Con-
gresham T. U. Sisson, of Mississippi,
of whom we have never heard before.
Without any invitation on the part of
the veterans, the Commander of the
Sons of Veterans managed to secure
the floor for this unknown Mississippi
Congressman.
I'VE doubt IL there has ever been
more contemplate utterance from the
mouth of representative Of decent
and manly people. That Southerner
should be guilty of so gross senti-
ment, that any Southerner should re-
joice in the spectacle of $4,000 graves,
be they Federal or Confederate. Is be-
yond the understanding of the people
of the South"

Think of that High Priest Of Man,
mon, the Wall Street Daily Journal,
having such a touching bit of verse as
this at the head of its columns on Me-
mortal Day:
Every year they're marching slower,
Every year they're STOPPING lower,
Every year the Hitting music stirs the
hearts of other men;
Every year the flags above them
Seem to bend and bless and love them
AS If grieving for the future when
they'll never march again.
Every year we see them massing,
Every year we watch them passing,
Scarcely pausing in our hurry after
pleasure, after gain.
But the battle flags above them
Seem to bend and bless and love
them
And thru all the Hitting music sounds
an undertone of pain!

HOW TUERKE,S SCALP
WAS FlNALLY R REMOVED

Carl w. Tuerke's somewhat tur-
bulent but picturesque career as
police and street commissioner of
the city of Spokane was rather un-
expectedly cut short last night,
when the city council. by a vote
of 7 to 2, removed him from Of
flee.
1t has been known for some
time that Tuerke's scalp was want
ed, but the needed seven votes to
secure it were not had until yes
terday evening. The vote for GUST
ing Tuerke was cast by Council
men Funk, Gray, Schiller, Lambert,
Dalke, Mohr and Nelson. Council
men Cartwright and Shafer voted
against removal and Ostrander
was absent.
The removal was accomplished
by the Introduction of a resolu-
ton by Councilman Lambert in
which it was charged that the pro-
vision of the city charter prohibit
ing the appointment of more than
one city commissioner from the
same ward was violated in the
case of Tuerke, and that he was
holding office illegally and con-
trary to the city charter: that his

This report Is but a grand
stagger to make an explanation to
the city council. There are pc.
cuiiar irregularities in the report
that need explanation. For in

HOW ACID
WAS THROWN

With an immense red scar on
her forehead as an evidence of the
contact with the powerful drug
that would have destroyed her
sight forever had it fallen a little
lower, Ida Nelson, young and
attractive Norwegian girl, today
took her place at the side of Prose-
cutor Pugh to aid in securing the
conviction of Lewis Gray, the
young locomotive engineer whom
she charges with having dashed
the acid into her face that has
probably disfigured her for life.
The first witness for the prose-
cution was Hannah Nelson, who
was with her sister one midnight
in last April, on their way home
from dance, when a dark form
leaped cut like a shadow from in
hiding and hurled the deadly drug
at them. She did not recognize the
thrower of the acid, but said that
the man who did it resembled in
size and heighth the prisoner at
the bar. A day or two later, when
the officers brought Gray before
her, she saw the burns on his
fingers which correspondent in ap-
pearance with the burns on her
own person and that of her sister
Gray had been a sutton for her sis
ter's hand.
The jury selected today to try
the case consists of H. s. Well
