A SUCCESS.

UlcCoy’a Milk Cliurch One of Our Solid Enterprise^ On last Saturday the Milk Church convened at the court house. The court room was comfortably filled and Uncle Alf. was consequently happy. After the meeting was called to order, Mr. McCoy spoke of the splendid foundation for dairy interests in this county, and that the future promises bright prospects for those interested. After his remarks, a choir, arranged especially for this occasion, proceeded to render some very appropriate songs. The first song was, “Jasper County in Line." The choir was assisted by an orchestra, and the music rendered was excellent. We might mention here that the songs sang were composed by our own local talent. Mr. McCoy has repeatedly tried to find some dairy songs but had so far failed. But Jasper county talent came to the rescue and furnished what was needed. Mr. McCoy then gave those present a good talk in his usual free way, about the Milk Church, its interest and idea. Another song was then sang by the choir, entitled, “The Old Fashioned Churn Dasher.” Mr. L. Strong, manager of the Rensselaer Creamery then addressed the audience. The substance of his remarks were as follows: “There are not many towns the size of Rensselaer that can boast of eight churches. And there is always room for another. The ninth church is the Milk Church. Anybody can belong to this. In ail other churches a person can can only belong to one of them, but not so with the Milk Church; it takes in all. Another thing, the members of the Milk Church compare favorably with those of the other churches. Ou an average during the year, each cow's milk brought to the creamery has netted about 80 cents per 100 pounds. The entire lot of milk producing cows, whose milk is brought to the creamery, has brought their owners #36 per head during the year.” This speech was followed by another song—“ Come Join the Milk Church.” It was here that Uncle Alf’s enthusiasm boiled over, much to the enjoyment of the audience. After the song three cheers for the Milk Church was proposed and g'r r eri, and then the audience was dismissed.

A Reply.

Rensselaer, Jan. 13, ’94. Ed. Pilot: I see in your last week's issue an article headed, “An Open Letter,” in which the writer deals principally with the subjects to be discussed at the Farmers' Institute. The writer signs himself “A Farmer.” Now, “Farmer” writes well, and makes, probably, some good points, were he making a political speech. But, farmers, allow us to say to you that the rules of these institutes will not allow political discussions in any way, from either party standpoint. The objects of these meetings are to exchange ideas upon the different methods of farming and .stock raising, that the farmer might be enabled to get the best results for his labor. If legislation is wrong, there are generally, political meetings or gatherings at which places these questions can be discussed, free from farm talk. So now let us distinctly understand that no politics will be tolerated in the institute. We want everybody to come and take part in this work, but to leave their pqlitics at home. D. H. Yeoman, C. D. Nowels, Pres. , Secy.

The Swelling Tide of Destruction.

The people should be reminded, also, that the consumption of beer (according to the last government report) has increased from two millions of barrels, in 1802, to thirty-five millions of barrels, in 1893, —this being an increase of over seventeen times during the past thirty years, while the population has only doubled,—and now averages three barrels of beer annually to every voter or family in the United States, while the consumption of other intoxicating liquor has also largsly increased. It is significant that while this increase has been going on the arrests for crime have also increased fivefold during the same period. —From “Our Nation’s Peril,” in Demorest’s Family Magazine for February.

The performance given by the Kickapoo Medicine Co., on last Wednesday evening, was one of the best since their stav here. They were ably assisted by Gus Phillips, who is a bright youngactor, and has a great future before him. We also mention Jas. Cunningham, the all-around man, who has impressed himself favorably with all those who have been attending the performance. He is an actor of merit, and besides is a perfect gentleman. One of the features of the evening was the giving away of a handsome piece of silverware to some person who was luckv enough to be present that evening. It was awarded to Joseph Brook, of Mt. Ayr. The apple eating contest was between six small boys was very amusing The company gives another large bill on Saturday night, and also a matinee on Saturday afternoon. A handsome rocking chair will be given away on Saturday night, and a beautiful gold ring on Saturday afternoon.

BOUND FOR JASPER.

Rev. Peter Hindi* Turn* Hl* Footstep* Toward the Land of Milk and Honey. Winfield, Kans., Jan. 10,1894. After having a couple of chills followed by that prostrating fever, we concluded that further north would be healthier, therefore we left McKinley. Jan. 3rd, taking north from Guthrie, up the Santa Fee R. R., we came to Mulhall, found our old friend, Alfred Robins. After dinner, coming to Orlando, passing one mile north of town, we came to the lately opened strip. Here are to be seen little box houses in every direction. This part of the strip is all prairie and a fine body of land. Coming to Perry, a town of four thousand inhabitants, all built since the opening [ of the strip, was to be seen dozens of carcasses of dead ponies, ’killed by being run so far the day of the opening. All along the way through the strip, here and there, was carcasses of ponies. We next came to the Otoe Indian agency, being Sunday morning we had the pleasure of seeing the Indian children march from the boarding house to the church. The girls was all dressed in blue flannel and the boys had on navy blue suits. On leaving the Indian school gi’ound, we came to a little stream called Red Rock. Here for the first time in our lives we saw a sign reading “U. S. Toll Bridge’.’ On approaching it we ask if the United States owned the stream, which was perfectly dry, but bridged on account of its steep rocky banks and we wereinformed the United States owned a piece of land four miles long and three miles wide, on which the Otoes and Missouri Indians were to be allowed to camp, while their children were being schooled. Here was several hundred tents, teepes as the Indians calls them. We next came to the Poney school and on to the Sheloca school. All these schools have fine buildings, costing thousands of dollars. We next crossed the line into Kansas to Arkansas City and Winfield, stopping two days with our old friend, Sig. Copple, who lived twenty-five years in Indiana, and has spent forty years hunting a better country than that, but says he has failed to find it. I will say to inquiries that I have received, if a man can’t make a living in Jasper Co. Ind., no use to try it elsewhere. People are dying here by the dozen of grip and pneumonia fever. We found all our old friends at Winfield sick. There has been no rain here for eight months and wheat and stock are ; favoring badly. We are camped to-night, Jan. 12th, in Butler Co., Kans., where we drive five and six hours between houses. 'Weather fine. Roads dusty. Rev. Peter Hinds.

James Whitcomb Riley, -the “Hoosier” poet, and Hamlin Garland, another portrayer of western farm life, will provide a “real conversation” for the February number of McClure’s Magazine. Mr. Garland is the recorder of the conversation, and it is said to be one of the most notable in that series of genuine talks of which McClure’s Magazine has made an important feature. Portraits of Mr. Riley and Mr. Garland, and pictures of Mr. Riley’s boyhood home and the scenes of his more familiar poems will accompany the articles.

One thing about the Chicago Express that newspaper readers enjoy, it deals out its opinions with absolute fearlessness, and whether at first you agree with it or not, the directness with which questions are handled in its columns gives courage to the struggling populist, where nothing else will.

The latest fad is the “time party.” Each lady present is presented with a card and pencil, and the holder thereof is required to converse with a gentleman present for five minutes, and the one having the most gentleman’s names on the card is awarded the prize.
