A NEW CREAMERY COMPANYSECURED Greenville, Ohio, Concern, Without a Bonus, Leases Building in Richmond. Arrangements for the location of a branch plant of the Eastern Ohio Creamery company, with headquarters In Greenville, Ohio, were made on Tuesday upon a visit of general manager Winters, of the concern. A lease was Becured from the owners of the factory building at Eleventh and Nortli B streets, formerly occupied by the blackboard factory, and it will fchortly be occupied by the creamery company. The machinery and other equipment which U now In the plant at Eaton will be crated and shipped here at once. ' New machinery also will be purchased as the company expects to make the Richmond branch one of its largest and most substantial ones. A number of workmen will be employed, although the exact working force has not been announced. It is understood that the company plans to have the Richmond plant do a $50,000 a year business. No bonus was required to secure the factory, in fact there were no conferences held with the commercial organizations. The branch plant is located here, Mr. .Winters said, because
I the company felt there was an oppor
tunity for doing a large business here, and also because of natural advantages which were offered. The company had expected to locate in- the Commons plant on South Fifth street, but the deal fell through. Creamery butter will be manufactured solely. It Is understood. There will be no coalition between the new company and the Bender and Oates company; which purchased the Common's plant. In fact it is more likely that the two firms will enter into the most strenuous kind of compeittion in butter making. In addition to the Richmond branch, the company also has (factories in Xcnia and Greenville. Ohio. It is understood that later the headquarters of the company will be moved to this city.

The students of the Richmond Business College and their friends were entertained Tuesday by a most Interesting and instructive lecture by Prof. E N. Miner of the 'Phonographic World," New York City. Prof. Miner is one of the leading men in the commercial world, and authority on stenography. He spoke very ably on this subject for nearly two hours, holding the interest of his audience to the last moment. He first spoke on the "Ethics of the liuslness World," 'closing' with a history of the origin and development of the art of stenography. The importance of the mastery of spelling was emphasized and the students were advised to make lists of difficult words and write thera until permanently fixed in the mind. He also insisted that students master the mechanism of ihe typewriter, so that they may be able to repair all ordinary troubles that occur, thus saving time and expense to their employer and at the same time, adding to their own value to the firm. ' For Business Dress. The matter of correct business attire was then discussed. He said. 'Husiness men do not want ornaments at-their desks or fashion plates. Simplicity of dress, without jewelry, flashy tics or other gaudy apparel is favored." The hands should be kept well manicured, and cleanliness and neatness carefully maintained, he also said. Prof. Miner then spoke about the possibilities of the stenographers of today, saying, " You hold the golden key of Opportunity. If you .will but use it." He advised students to keep in touch with the needs of their employer,the - people with whom they come in contact, and the questions of the day. , 'Become familiar with the workings of the firm as you sit next to the president's chair, and then when the demand conies for a competent person to take charge of affairs in some sudden crisis or opportunity of the business, you will be ready to step up to a responsible position that .will bring you both honor and financial reward." He spoke of tho rise of Mr. Cortelyou from the desk of an unknown stenographer to tho position of secretary to President McKinley and then to the Department of Commerce and Labor with a seat In the President's cabinet, because he made himself valuable wherever he served. Prof. Miner then said, "I want you to realize that there is no top to the profession but is is dome-shaped as the sky and rises as you rise, until v;e lose sight of its future iossibiIities. The key-note of success lies ever In the old saw, "What is worth doing at all. Is worth doing well, and if you do your best, your possibilities are endless." The last part of the lecture was upon the "History of Shorthand."
EVERYBODY HAPPY III JUAREZ TODAY - Reinforcement of Federal Soldiers Brings Relief to the Citizens.
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM TO PLAY RUSHVILLE The. high school basketball team will go to Rushville Friday night to meet the Rush county champions. The local team is in first class condition and much stronger than at the first of the season. A victory is expected.
(American Xewi Service) El Paso. Tex. Feb. 13. Everybody Is happy at Juarez today. There is one Mexican regular soldier to every eight residents of the town and the
fear that the rebels would seize the city for the capitol for the provisional government is completely passed. Following the arrival of 1,000 troops under Gen. Navarro, the general today assumed command of the forces in Juarez and preparations were at once made for the policing the railroads running from the city so that traffic might be restored to its normal condition. Members of Navarro's command declared , today that they had seen nothing of the insurrection under Gen. Orozco on the last stages of their journey" into the Mexican city. The belief was expressed that the rebel commander had taken to the mountains in the hope of drawing small detachments of the regulars away from the Juarez barracks. With more' than 2.000 soldiers in its environs, Juarez today had the most military appearance of Its career since the Mexican city was established, more than a century ago. Everywhere soldiers stacked arms or parked their artillery. Navarro encamped part of his men in the Plaza, others in the bull ring, where bull fights are held and still others in public buildings whihe were thrown open to their use. The International bridge across the Rio Grande was thronged with Mexicans who had fled from Juarez and who were hurrying back to their homesfl intermingling with these were scores of Americaus armed with cameras seeking to get martial pictures. A report became current today that the rebel board of strategy was seriously considering the establishment of their provisional capitol at Chihuahua instead of Juarez and that the attack upon the frontier city was merely feigned in order to draw troops away from the capitol at Chihuahua. Despite this rumor the tactics of Orozco have branded him in this city as a rebel not to be feared.

COUNTY SEAT WAR STIRSJHE STATE Oklahoma State Troops Held Ready to Take Part in a County Feud. (American News Service) Oklahoma City, Okla.. Feb. 15. State troops are being held in readiness today for service in Swanson county, following a renewal of hostilities In the old time war between the towns of Snyder and Mountain Park. At least one man has been shot to death. Sheriff G. W. Daniels of Kiowa county crossed the line with a posse of deputies to attempt to restore order In Swanson county and he wired Governor Cruce today that the situation was critical and that further bloodshed was imminent. The feud between the two towns has existed for ten years. They are only three miles apart and . at frequent intervals armed bands from one
of the communities has made raids on
the other. The cause is the desire of each town to be the county seat. Officials Prisoners. C. E. Bull, chairman of the county commissioners; .J. K. Armstrong, county commissioner, and J. P. Bristow, county clerk, are today held prisoners in Mountain Park following a
raid made yesterday. The trio ar accused of favoring Snyder at the county seat. After the raid prominent residents of Snyder formed a posse and attempted to rescue . the prisoners but the leader of the Mountain Park men sent this ultimatum: "Don't try to get these men or there will be some killing. Rumors have reached here that men have been killed in guerilla fighting, but this has not been conirmed. Other reports have it that all three prisoners had been shot to death. The latter is not believed here. It has been definitely learned that Wyatt Staples, the employe of Bull, has been killed. The bloodiest fighting since the "Battle of the Bridge" nine years ago when twelve men were killed, was expected unless the prompt action on the part of the government prevents It. The county seat was formerly at Mountain Park, but six months ago was secretly moved to Snyder.

THE GOOD PHYSICIAN'S METHOD It is a small wonder that physicians prescribe an alterative tblood purlflerk for so many afflictions, since the blood is so intimately related with every function of the human body. Poisoned, or impure blood, aside from such manifestations as syphilis, catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism, pimples, bolls, sores, muddy complexion. etc., effects the appetitle, the diges. don and the whole human organism. The most powerful and effective alterative knewn is Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegeteable Compound, discovered by a famous physician of Indiana and used in his practice more than forty years ago. It has never failed to cure the most dreadful form ot all poisoned blood (syphilis) and has of course readily conquered all the lesser blood diseases. Nothing has ever equalled It (or gtv Ing a clear, healthy complexion. . It is sold at 1 per bottle at all drug stores.
