Criticism of Cheese.

Cheese made in Wisconsin during
July showed the effect of the hot
weather While the texture and color
were good, the flavor of some cheeses
showed careless handling Of the milk
at a time when conditions were un-
favorable. The result is barnyard
odor and a grassy milk flavor and a
slightly sour product. The flavor of
the cheese should receive first con
sideration by the factory man. The
product with good flavor will sell
even though defective in other points.
A number of cheese makers have, in
recent years, been attempting to make
good cheese out Of poor milk

Ruling Hats Came Warden.

RulIng HaItS Game Warden.
That the state game warden has no
authority to farm out the waters of
Wisconsin upon percentage basis for
the purpose Of reducing the number of
rough fish in such waters, is the opin-
ion of Attorney General Bancroft, rem
dered upon request of Game Warden
John A. Sholts.
The question has arisen out Of the
perplexity Of the rough fish problem.
Mr.. Sholts propounded the following
questions to the attorney general:
May the state game warden agree to
farm out certain waters of the state
upon a percentage basis; that is, has
the state game warden a right to en-
gage parties to take rough fish from
certain inland waters by engaging
fishermen to do the work and to pay
said fishermen percentage OF the
receipts of the sale Of such fish,"
The attorney general says:
Il am of the opinion that the only
persons who can be authorized to
further wardens in removing rough
fish under the provisions Of the law
would necessarily have to be appoint
ed as special deputies under the law"
no authority exists, says the attor-
ney general, for the department to
work through any other persons than
the deputies, nor can deputies be COM
pensated in any other way than that
provided by law. When rough fish are
taken, under the law, by the warden
or his deputies, they must be sold and
the proceeds turned into the treasury
of the state

returns by one vote, as auditor of
Jefferson county. The board of super
visors, however, decided that his OPP
ponent w. G. Burkhart was entitled
to the Office according to their can

hart took the Office. He has been
holding it since. However, there was
good deal of bad feeling in the mat
ter, many holding that Moburg was
entitled to it. So the case was ap-
pealed to the district court and the
court ordered a recount and Moburg
gets the Office by one vote. The law
yers for Burkhart have given notice
that they will appeal to the supreme
court. MOburg has recently bought

Lineville Will Drill Again for Coal

At a meeting held Saturday even
ing at the F. e M. bank, the local
prospecting company decided to
abandon the hole in south Lineville,
which has been sunk to the depth of
CTS feet, and drill one or more holes
in the neighborhood of the fair
grounds in the north part of town.
A contract to this effect was made
with Messrs. West & Son, and the
work of moving the house, machin-
cry and casing to the new location
is now being done. The new pros
pecting holes are to be drilled to the
depth of 500 feet or more if coal is
not found at lesser depth. If the
33 and % inch veins found in the
prospecting hole already drilled
should be found united, which is
hoped for, the success of the local
company is assured. The company
has already expended about $1,400
for drilling done and their enter
prise and liberality in subscribing

the work of prospecting is COM

DAM FAMILY COMES TO IOWA.
Thirteen of Them From Rotterdam
Including the PARENTS and Sew

New York, April 19.-The whole
Dam family is in our midst, and will
head inland toward new home on
farm at Pella, Iowa, today.
Fresh from Rotterdam, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dam and eleven little Dams ar
rived at Ellis Island on a Holland
American steamer, and to quote the
words of Fritz Dam, the oldest OF
half a dozen boys, as explained by
an interpreter, I'VE had a damfine

This family Of Dams is not fiction,
like the popular collection OF the
we'll known artist, but is real liv-
ing, ambitious bunch of sturdy emf
grants, going to till fortune out of
the Dam quarter section, which lies
few miles out of Pella.
There is no U. B. Dam nor l. B.
Dam in the family. They have plain
Dutch stock handles There is Kat
rine and Willemina and Gretchen
and Elschen, and Wiliem and KLAUS
and Fritz, and some smaller ones,
all jolly Germans, and happy to land,
but not a one could see chance for
a laugh in their name
The Dams created more excite
ment among the seabOard reporters
of the New York newspapers than
tine in months. Pictures of the
whole Dam family appeared in half
dozen newspapers.
The youngsters were made much of
and Father Dam was approached Of
ten by reporters trying to get front
name hooked up so it would fit nicely
with the hind name, but he wouldn {
stand for it.
According to the Dams, Pella is a
Mecca for emigrants from Holland
and Germany. 1t is reported fac
tory there makes nothing but wood
en- shoes.
Needless to say, the population OF
Iowa will be increased by thirteen
Dams before the week is out.

What Hicks Promises in the Way of
May Weather.

A regular storm period, having it's
beginning in April, will reach it's
elimination, in eastern parts of the
country, the first two or three days
in May. A seismic period also reach
es into the same days. A wave of
higher barometric pressure will fol-
low from west and north, bringing
cooler weather behind the storms.
The Mercury period, which comes
into May from April, will last until
after the 10th, causing prolonged
cloudiness, and intensifying regular
and reactionary storms which fall
under it's influence.
A ,reactionary storm period will
eliminate on and touching the 4th
and 5th, and this period, being under
the influence of the Mercury equinox,
will bring storms of thunder and
rain, with continuation of cloudy,
threatening weather for several days.
Under stress of the Mercury period,
and solar conditions peculiar to this
month, very severe storms are prob
able at this and other May periods.
High barometer, very cool weather
with probable frosts northward, will
be the natural order from about the
5th to the 8th-first to the west and
north, advancing eastward and
southwark.
A regular storm period covers the
9th to the 14th, with moon on the
celestial equator on the 9th, and
4 full on the 18th. High temperature,
= falling barometer and electrical
storms will appear about the 9th in
western extremes, and from Wednes-
day the 10th, to Sunday the 14th,
these conditions will progress to the
eastward, causing general and vio-
lent storms in many localities. From
the 10th to the 10th constitutes a
period of seismic strain that will
very probably cause earthquake
shocks and shivers in many parts of
the globe. A marked change to high
barometer and cooler, with probable
frosts at night northward, should be
no surprise from about the 18th to
the 10TH.
A reactionary storm period will
bring return of warm weather, fall
ing barometer and storms, on and
touching the 18th and 18th. Those
who have followed us for years un-
derstand that the "Solar eye" is
focused along the central parallels
of the northern hemisphere during
the month of May, hence violent
electrical and tornado storms often
reach a maximum at this season.
lnere is no special indication of such
storms at this period; at the same
time, approaching storms should be
calmly and carefully scanned. Ex-
pect change to much cooler after
these storms for several days.
A regular storm period falls from
the 20 to the 25th, being central on
the 22nd. This period will eliminate
in very high temperature, drop of

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN ON
APRIL 18TH.
Will be Partially Visible in the
United States According to Men
of Science.

There will be a total eclipse of the
sun April 28th, visible as partial
eclipse throughout the greater part
of the United States and down to
Panama, over the middle Pacific
ocean and eastern Australia. The
path of totality lies wholly in the
ocean, passing over groups OF islands.
Leon will be close to the northern
limit of visibility of the partial
eclipse, and a little entering of the
dark moon on the southern limit of
the sun may be detected about three
quarters of an hour before sunset.
The above information is given out
by Prof. G. E. Comstock, of the
Washburn observatory. Other data
supplied by the observatory is to the
effect that Mercury, Venus and Saturn
will all be to the west in the even
ing sky during the early and middle
part of the month, while the brilliant
Jupiter will be seen rising later over
the southeastern horizon followed in
the early morning by Mars.
Mercury was in conjunction with
Saturn Monday and passed by on the
north side of that planet at an angu-
lar distance nearly equal to that be-
tween the pointers in the great dip
per. On April 14th Mercury reached
greatest elongation east and for
about two weeks in the middle of
the month the planet will be favor
ably situated for observation. Venus

northwest horizon now in the middle
of the evening and will be overtaken
