Aged Widow Greets Veterans as Did

HARTFORD, Conn, October Cat the
first reunion of civil veterans
Wednesday the old soldiers "paraded'' in
automobiles. for, however strong is their
patriotism, many of them are SO decrepit
they cannot walk far
AS the first motor car passed Mrs. Ann
Cummings home in Maple avenue she
seized flag and waved il vigorously
from an upper window. The aged woman
widow of Maj. Patrick Cummings, had
not unfurled the flag since the great
Battle Flag day in 1879 Il has been a
sacred treasure in the household ever
since the war. The inspiration to loose
its dusty folds To the breeze did not come
to Mrs. Cummings until she caught sight
Of the veterans.
The cheered her as they passed and
pointed out TO one another her gray hair
and the thin hands that grasped the flag
and kept IL waving untiringly. They
said: Just like the girls did when We
were going away"
The last auto i'm the long line passed.
The veterans did not know that Mrs
Cummings. perhaps overcome by her emo
tons, perhaps wearied by her exertions
had fallen back from the window. faint
ing She was found on the floor, the
flag on her bosom-the same flag that
had been her husbands pail.

TOBACCO TRUST PLANS
ARE TO Be OPPOSED
Independent Dealers Have Or
ganized to See That Disso-
luton Is Complete.

NEW YORK October 6.-The orsaniza-
ton of the independent dealers under the
leadership of Attorney Louis d. BrandeiS
indicates d protracted struggle when pub
lie discussion of the American Tobacco
Company's reorganization plans begins
next week before the United States cir
cult court.
The attitude OF the federal government
is as yet uncertain. Attorneys for the
tobacco trust ordered dissolved by the
Supreme Court expected TO submit their
scheme TO Attorney General Wickersham
today, and there a possibility, IL was
said. that the filing Of the plan with the
federal court might be DELAYED if ii did
not meet Mr. Understands approval
Satisfactory in Main.
The plan has been discussed by the
tobacco company attorneys, the At
torney General and the judges of the cir
cult court at several conferences. and
SO far its main points are concerned
was considered generally satisfactory
The representatives of the American
Tobacco Company were left TO work out
the details, however. They hoped to file
the plans with the court late this after
noon. but a delay in receiving the copy
from the printers necessitated postponing
Its submission TO the Attorney General
until today and may neceSSltate a delay
in the filing until tomorrow. The indie
pendentS declare that they viii oppose
any REORGANIZATION scheme that does not
contemplate restoring the tobacco in
duStTy to the conditions that prevailed
before there any combination.

In behalf of the american Tobacco
Company. it was said today that the plan
for the division of the business into three

common ground from which the company
and the government attorneys might
work. The corpora ton. it was said. re-

HOW TO KEEP CREAM SWEET
Government Expert Helps Creamery
men in kossuth county-Good
Results Shown.

In years work in Kossuth county
b. B. Heaton, dairy field expert for the
United States government, has dem
onstrated to the farmers of that dis
trict that cream may be kept sweet
for delivery to the local creameries,
even though the farm has no ice house
and ice for cooling the milk. Cream
may be kept sweet, first by proper
care of cans and other utensils used
In handling 1t, and second by setting
the milk cans in a small tank of fresh
running we'll water.
The care Of the utensils Is a simple
matter. So is the making of tank.
1t need not be large or expensive. It
may be set between the we'll and the
cattle tank, so that the water pumped
for the cattle will first run through the
milk tank. Kossuth county farmers
who have adopted this method of
keeping their cream cool have found
it very satisfactory and successful.
Moreover, they have delivered their
cream to the creameries in uniformly
good condition and have secured just
that much better price for it. The
good results have gone farther. The
creameries report an improvement in
the quality of their butter product, be-
cause good cream makes good butter
possible.
Some progress has been made also
in Kossuth county towards improve
ment of dairy herds. but that comes
much more slowly. The immediate
problem is the best possible care of
the COWS that the farmers have and
the milk that the cows produce, be 1t
much or little.

Messrs Owen and Rogers are Justly
elated over the present and prospective.
outlook of the Oneida property. They
have been driving on strea ak of quartz
on the hanging wall in the tunnel but
but recently have crossed to the foot
wall where they have a fine body of
rich smelling ore. This is present not
only below the tunnel level but also
above 1t for at distance of 80 feet
above their tunnel level they have
openee up on the footwall at the bot
tom of winze two and half foot of
fine smelling ore and the same is pres
ent in the winze below the tunnel This
is below the large ore shoot that was
worked some twenty years ago and
from which several hundred thousand
dollars worth of ore was taken. They
are shipping about car of ore a day
and the last two cars of about 10 tons
brought item in $7l0 They will make
several crosscuts from the tunnel level
to work to better and more profitable
advantage. The new vein runs par
alel with the quartz on which they
have been driving and about ten feet
from it.

up sheet of paper and started out in
the west end of the county to raise
some funds for the Doulevarde In a
short time he had ninety eight 'dolars
Of our Daddies" jingling in his jeans
which he turned over to Commissioner
!. D. Ellis for the road fund. And thus
from all parts of tn county comes this
assis ance, the people realizing that
what is of benefit to one locality re-
fleets itself to all parts. The numer-
Gus autos that will come from Denver
will visit all portions of tn. county
where the roads are in good running
condition and there can be no better
road than that which runs west from
Idaho Springs through Dumont, Lawon

Sch ool Notes

A number of pupils in the East En-.
are afflicted with Chicken pox Every
effort will be made to prevent the
spread Of the disease in the schools. Pu-
piis will not be permitted to attend
school during the period of quarantine
which lasts about two weeks, and
then if deemed advisable a certificate
of admission from \ physician may be
required Neither may children attend
who come from homes where the dis
ease exists. Chicken pox is not con-
sidered particularly dangerous but it is
one OF those preventable diseases which
a state law requires to be quarantined.
The sen ools will be glad to cooperate
with the city physicians in controlling
the disease. Any cases reported to
ths schools Of pupils attending before
the Quarantine is over will be carefully
Investigated. Last year the measels
started in the West End school and
swept through all the schools because
no united attempt was made t. .estab-
lish a quarantine.
AT the last regular meeting of the
Board of Education special teacher
was elected to assist pupils who are
behind grade in those rooms which are
so full that no time is given the regular
class teacher to bring them up. Pupils
who are able to do the work will not
receive the assistance, it would make
such pupils weak and dependent. We
want to help the pupil who is working
faith uily but who needs just little
individual help to keep him up to grade.
There are pupils who are not up to the
grade but who are fully able to do the
work such pupils may be seen any
evening on the street u.4til ten o'clock
or later. 1t is not the intention of the
Board to assist such pupils. After
pupil reaches the grammar grades, he
should do some home study, the amount
depending somewhat on the character
of the work done in school. If boy is
on the streets very night until bed
time you can depend that he is not do :
ing well in school and probably has
more or less fault to ind with his teach
er.
AS a whole we have a capable CORPS
of teachers and they are working faith
fully the standard of school work,
but this can not be done with
out tire cooperation ofthe home. AL
most without exception the
parents expect US to see that children
study while in school and we are look
ing after that phase of the problem.

On Monday morning, John Owen
started a force of men at work in the
Two Brothers tunnel up Virginia Can
yon, cleaning out The tunnel, over
hauling the machinery and starting up
the fans so as to get rid of any impure
air that has accumulated. AS soon as
this is done the work of developing,
opening up and getting out ore will be-
gin and the force of miner will be
greatly increased. 1t is thus gratfy-
ing to all persons and boost fr the
camp to see this property again com
ing into activity and it will be a
pleasure to see the teams coming down
the canyon loaded with ore. Nego-
tiations are now pending with the Lu-
cania reople to. have II 10 tunnel driven to
cut the Specis Payment. This can be
done by driving about 800 feet and it
will cut this vein on the dip between
1900 and 1000 feet or about 1000 feet
below where the Two Brothers cut the
Specie Payment. The acquisition of
this big and rich property by Mr..
Owen. means that everything in a
mining business line will be done to
make it the great producer that it has
been in times past.

There is no guess work about their
methods but they are the subject of
intelligent study and practical appliea-
