January, 1908, when they separated,
after the wife had learned that her
husband was attentive to young

Last June Carlton and Miss Stiles
went to Bennington where they were
married, the clergyman performing
the ceremony permitting the fact to
be published in one of the local news

SMITHS

Another splendid audience was in at tendance last evening, showing that Jackson's high class vaudeville has se- cured a strong hold upon the public. Miss Rosa Cores exceptionally quick charge of character, from Dry Dock Liz to a swell society dame. occupies only. 25 seconds, and is one of the most complete which has ever been shown the public. Myrtle Byrne's magnificent work with the rifle is another very bright feature of the performance. Miss Byrne is certainly one of the clevereSt sharpshooters ever seen on the local stage.
 The black face work of Gardner and Colder adds to the pleasure of the bill, and with the acrobatic turn of Hayes and Appoint, keeps the audience in a continual state of good humor. That ''circus queen'' act of the latter team is simple scream.
 Edith Montrose, in her clever char acter changes. also does a bit of work which is exceptionally pleasing.

Farmers Unite to
 Raise Price of Milk

New York, May 26.-Farmers of New York State are perfecting an organi- zation to control the milk industry and to demand an increased price for their product from the distributors in this city. If reports which reach dealers in New York are to be credited, the dairymen who are interested in the scale of prices be fixed by the Milk Exchange and insist that unless this is done one-third of the city's milk supply will be withheld. -
 John Gerow, wealthy dairyman of Washingtonville, Monroe county, is said to be the leader of the move ment. Through. the activity of MT. Gerow. the Dairymen's League has been formed. He has outlined the policy of the organization, which. it is said, has a membership composed of the owners of twenty-five thousand cows. It is said to be the plan of the officers of the Dairymen's League to double this membership, which MT. Gerow believes will enable the organi- zation to control the situation so far as New York city is concerned.
 Gerow, who is president of the league, say he contends that the dairymen have not been fairly treated by the distributors. Members of the Milk Exchange, he is represented as saying, write contracts with dairymen on a sliding scale basis, which means a re- duction in the prices of milk during the summer months. In addition to this, it is said, the ordinances enforced ing dairymen to produce milk under certain sanitary restrictions has in- creased the cost of production by one half a cent a quart.

COMPLETE CONTROL

Washington, May 26.-The Panama Canal, once it is completed, will be wholly the property of the United States. The guns of American battle ships and powerful batteries ashore will defend it's integrity. and far as this Governments present inten- tions go no foreign nation will be ask ed to assist in the maintenance of the big ditch, and no overtures will be made to the powers to agree to a general treaty making the canal a neutral waterway.
 Iris much has been learned at the State Department. It was declared that nothing was contemplated in the way of asking the various nations to join in an agreement guaranteeing the neutrality of the waterway, as was the case with the operation of the Suez Canal The War Department is con- tinuing work on the plans for the for tifications.
