out of Broadview hands. The eff
fort by the Broadview dairy to cap
italize the private statement issued
by Miss Neimann has stirred her
to action, and yesterday she served
notice on the Broadview and some
of the newspapers that have run
the statement as an ad to cease
the further use of the letter under
a threat OF prosecution. Miss Nei-
mann has cancelled the order for
BrOadyiew milk at her institution,
the bills for which ran to $40 and
$50 per month.
MISS NEiMANN'S STATEMENT.
when the Broadview dairy tries
to make it appear that | am defend
ing them or playing their game
they do me serious injustice.
wanted to be fair with them when
| issued that letter and tell them
that | did not know positively that
the milk killed the babies, for the
reason that the city chemist, DR..
Rose, who is supposed to know his
business, said that milk was pure.
The children had taken no other
food and all died in pretty much
the same way, showing common
cause OF their illness. When Dr.
Rose, in his defense of the Broad
view, says that the milk might have
been contaminated after it left
their hands, he says something that
is not true, as I look after the milk
in person, have an ice chest used
solely for that purpose, and see
that nothing can reach the food OF
the babies.
The loss of these four children
was heavy blow to our institution,
as for funeral expenses, nurse hire,
medicine, etc, it has cost us over
5000. And then to think that the
BrOadyieW seeks to advance its in
terests at the expense Vi our mis-
fortunes by publishing my letter to
them in the form of a newspaper
advertisement is something more
than | can understand"
When told of the discovery of the
state chemist at Pullman that Spo-
kane dairies use lime and other
chemicals TO raise cream, Miss Mel
mann said that she had noticed a
number of times that the cream on
the milk supplied to her did not
have a natural color.
After Milk Inspector Reinwald
returned to his office from the Crit
tenton home trip, he met reporter
for the Press. He tried to tell the
Press reporter that there was
nothing much to the Crittenton
home case, that the Broadview
milk was not to blame, etc.

DES MONIES, Iowa, June s.
Returns from 46 counties show that
Warren Grast, progressive, is gain
ing upon B. F. Farrell, his stand
patter opponent in the race for the
republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton at the rate of $50 votes to each
county.
If Garsts gains continue at that
rate he will receive the republican
nomination by approximately 1000
majority.
His total gain as indicated by
the returns now is 10000 votes.
This shows an average gain in
counties from which returns have
been received of 80 votes more than
the necessary gain to insure his
election.
