Kenosha, Wis, March 22.-Kenosha
county had its first dairymen's strike
when farmers in all parts of the coun-
ty connected with the recently. organ
lied Milk Producers union walked out
of the plants of the Bowman and Bor-
den milk companies in the county be-
cause the managers refused to pay the
price for the milk demanded by the
union.
The storm center was at the Bow
man plant in the village of Bristol.
Here before o'clock more than fifty
milk producers had gathered with their
wagons loaded down with milk. Not
a can was unloaded, for when the men
gathered in the office OF the plant and
made their demand and it was turned
down, they walked out in a body and
took the milk to the nearest shipping
point and shipped it to Chicago.
Similar scenes were enacted at
every shipping point in the county
where the Chicago companies have
milk depots.
The Borden and Bowman companies
offered to purchase the milk at the
rate of 1:18M a hundred pounds and
the demand made by the members of
the union was $1.31. There was nc sug-
gestion of compromise from either side
and the union leaders in the county at
once notified the officials of their or
ganization that the fight which is ex-
pected to take in every milk producer
within a radius of hundred miles of
Chicago was on.

Had Tried All Kinds,

A noted heavyweight pugilist, who
for a time in the heyday of his fame
occupied the chair Of sporting editor
of certain journal, gloomily remarked
to friend one day:
Say, Jim, l don't mind standin' up
in the ring an givin' an taliin' a few
hot punches In the ribs or wherever
they happen to land, but this here
pickin' up Il pen an slingin' off a col
umn or so Of literatoor every day or
two is what makes me tired. l believe
I'll halter resign"
"No use resigning, John, old boy"
advised the friend. "a job like yours
isn't picked up every day. To make it
easier for you / would suggest your
getting an amanuensis."
"Oh, thunder! What's the use" ex.
claimed the great editor wearily. 1--WE
tried a common steel pen, a styler-
graft, a newfangled fountain pen, G

be allowed to change his prize for
something more useful.

general In reply the man produced q

Creagh. what do you want to change

Dead" he exclaimed. II wasn't

WHY BARNS BURN.

DR.. NJ. A. Veeder, of Eureka
Grange, Lyons, N. Y, recently de-
clared, in an open meeting, that the
reason so many barns were burned
by lightning was, in great meas
ure, their manner of construction.
That the old-fashioned barn, with
wide cracks, and joined with wood
en- pins, was in far more danger
than the modern barns, sided up
and down, and battened. That
metal points (spikes and nails)
close together, are protection
against fire from electricity. He
said in support of his statement that
barns are usually burned by light
ming and that dwellings are not.
That cheat from hay" had nothing
to do with it. The idea is that the
great number of nails and spikes
"split up" the electric current, rem
dering it harmless. Farmers and
others who build, and who accept
DR.. Veeder's theory, will, therefore
not spare nails in constructing
buildings OF any kind.

PENROSE ON TARIFF.

THE new tariff law will prove the
most satisfactory tariff law ever en-
acted in this country" said Senator
Penrose. The conference commit
tee, of which the Pennsylvania sem
ator is a member, practically has
completed it's work. The bill it
will report back to the House and
Senate will provide ample protec-
ton for the great industries of the
keystone State. The advanced
rates of the iron and steel, chemical
and other schedules demanded by
Pennsylvania manufacturers and
substituted by the Senate for dras-
tic reductions made by the House,
generally have been maintained by
the conference committee. Senator
Penrose urged the increases in the
Senate and as a conferee he has
successfully defended them. The
bill in every sense will serve the
purposes for which it is intended.
1t provides sensible tariff revision
with such reductions as were deem
ed consistent with the policy of
protection, and it will meet the re-
quirements of the government as a
revenue measure. 1t violates neither
the spirit nor the letter of the tar
iff pledge of the Republican nation
al platform. 1t is a measure which
leaders of the Republican party con-
fidently predict will comply with the
economic conditions that have de-
veloped since the enactment of the
Dingley law twelve years ago and
assure prolonged period of re-
newed industrial expansion.
Throughout the deliberations of
Congress the protection of Ameri-
can labor from competition with the
miserably paid labor of Europe has
been the overshadowing issue from
the Republican viewpoint. The
United States can place in the mark
cts of the world any manufactured
article as cheaply as any other
country. But to do it must reduce
it's labor to the wage scale of the
foreigner A political party that
would enact legislation that would
do this, would be, as it ought to
be, doomed.
The self-styled "progressives" of
the Senate, the LaFollettes, the
Cumminses, the Dollivers and the
Beveridges, demanded tariff revision
that would destroy the industrial
system of this country and make
beggars of American workingmen.
The country is fortunate in the fact
that the genuine protectionists in
Congress prevented such a disas-
trous result, statesmen who were
alive to the situation and who bat
tied early and late for the preserva-
tion of the industries of the United
States, to which the wonderful
prosperity of this nation is due.

Prohibition the Obstacle to
Real Reform" is the title given to
an article of several thousand words
by the Rev. William A. Wasson,
rector of Grace Church, Riverhead,
L. l., in the August issue of Pear
sons Magazine. Mr.. Wasson does
not mince his words in the article in
describing his view of the Prohibi-
tionists, whom he characterizes as
"a lot of hysterical women and
meddlesome men, who conceive it
to be their right and duty to regu-
late the personal habits of their
neighbors." Then, taking few
leaves from his own book of expert
ence with the town of Riverhead,
which has gone through several
wet" and dry" spells, he cites a
number of instances which occurred
in the town during a dry" spell
to show the effects of prohibition
which did not work. 1t is queer
what a difference of opinion exists
among the learned, on this trouble
some subject.

How beautiful and how natural
is the parental solicitude for the
well-being of tn eoffspring, of tender
years. 1t is most always so, and
how very commendable. In War
wick, n. Y, Monday last, Anna
Mondel, aged fourteen years, ran
away with an Italian shoemaker,
to get married. The girls parents
frantically followed the elopers and
captured them, after the latter had
vainly attempted to persuade any
one to marry them. The prospective
groom was thrown into Jail as the
base abductor of a baby female, and
the child was taken home. Just
about that time news was received
that the prisoner had become heir
to $4,000 left by a relative in Italy.
Immediately the Jail doors flew
open, the repentant parents greeted
him with open arms, and joy,
wassail and marriage was the out
come of the base abductor's changed
financial condition.

occurred at Seaman's Bridge, near
Monroe, Orange county, n. V, on

road, July pa, 1876, when four
wheel cars, and locomotives, without
cabs or cowcatchers were used. a
