New Machinery. The Newton Milling and Elevator company will put $5,000 worth of new machinery in its Newton mills. It has been found lately that the flour turned out by this mill was not up to the high standard which is the aim of the owners, who not only do an extensive business in this country but also engage largely in export business, and so the new machinery is to be added to improve the quality of the flour and will also enlarge the mill's capacity. High School Entertainment. The Music hall was crowded last ening to witness the presentation of characteristic scenes from Shakspeare by members of the High School.

The first given was a scene from The Merchant of Venice the parts worthy of special mention being Miss Edna Warkentin as Portia and Roy Davis as Shylock. In the scene from Julius Caesar Herbert Wing as Brutus a Wm. Patton as Cassius carried their parts admirably. A comical farce entitled After a Storm Comes a Calm was given as an interlude and was well received. The entertainment was a success in every particular and about forty dollars were realized for the benefit of the High School.

Mrs. E. Collins Dead. The news came this afternoon that Mrs. Ed Collins died at her home in Wichita at 3 o'clock this morning of consumption.

Mrs. Collins had been suffering about three years with consumption and the utmost care and the best medical attendance failed to help her. She had been confined to her bed only a few weeks before she died but had suffered so much that death was welcome. Her husband and two children survive her. The funeral will take place about 10 o'clock to-morrow morning at Mr.

Collins's residence, No. 526 North Waco street, Wichita, and the remains will be brought to Newton for interment, reaching here on the noon train tomorrow and will be taken direct to the cemetery. Mrs. Collins formerly lived in Newton and has many friends here to mourn her death. Who May Vote.

Richardson and Miss Euuice Bingham started to Washington to-day, being summoned by the news of the death of Miss Richardson's nephew, Lieutenant Reynolds, in a street car accident: in Washington. The lieutenant was a brilliant young man, from whom much was expected. He was a member of the Greeley expedition that went in search of the north pole. The family has been very unfortunate. It will be remembered that Colonel Reynolds was suddenly killed by falling down an elevator shaft.

One child died at sea and one died at Keokuk, Ia, where its father was on the other side of the river but unable to cross because of ice. To the Ladies I wish to call your attention to my nice collection of house plants and bulbs and would be pleased to have you call and see them at 317 East Eighth street. MRS. F. HARRIS.

Turn Over a New Leaf. The friends of good government for Newton should bestir themselves. The nonentity who nowposes as mayor is already laying his ropes and making a quiet canvass for re-election. The question which confronts every citizen of Newton is: Do we want to continue in office the present occupant of the mayor's chair whom every intelligent person will concede is no better than a deserted lamp post, or shall we have a man of intelligence, a man who can represent the whole city, and who will not speak away when representative citizens of other places are to be entertained? Newton needs a man who has the interests of the city at heart, and who will not expect to make his living out of the office by cashing the warrants issued to the city's employes. It has been repeatedly stated that every man in the city's employ and especially the street force, is compelled to take his scrip to the mayor to be discounted by that august(?) official.

The mayor's brokerage office needs breaking up as much as do the joints. THE REPUBLICAN will have more to say on this question from now until election day. Piles! Piles! Itching Piles. Symptoms--Moisture, intense itching and stinging; most at night; worse by scratching. If allowed to continue tuomrs form, which often bleed and ulcerate, becoming very sore.

Swayne's Ointment stops the itching and bleeding. heals ulceration and in most cases ermoves the tumors. At druggests or by mail, for 50 Dr. Swayne Son, Philadelphia. The right kind of man 1S never resigned until he finds out for himself that he has to be.

4 there are to be chosen a mayor, one councilman from each ward, one member of the school board from three wards and two from the Second ward, one for two years and one for one year to fill out the unexpired term of the late Mr. Enz, a police judge and a constable. For all these except constable women may vote if they are qualified voters. A qualified voter must be at least twenty-one years of age, a citizen of the United States, or, if foreign born, must hav at least declared his intention to become a citizen and must have resided in Kansas six months and in the township at least thirty days next preceding the election. In cities of the first and second class each voter must be registered, that i is, a statement of the name, age, occupation and place of residence must be given to the city clerk ten days before election day.

To vote at the election this spring every voter must be registered. This matter of registration must be attended to each year and the books are ready for that purpose the first Monday in the new year. Every qualified voter of Newton that expects to take part in the election should attend immediatel, to the matter of registering. This is de only way that the citizens have of saying how the business of our city and our schools shall be conducted. The duty is individual, no one should shirk it The city clerk's office is on East way.

Our school board intends that the Newton schools shall not be behind anything. We now burn gas instead of alcohol and the people in the habit of imbibing alcohol at the expense of the city will have to get accustomed to inhaling illuminating gas essence. We don't need any alcohol now. The flag was flying for a little while Monday morning in honor of the day on which Abraham Lincoln came into this cold world. We are a moving school in more than one way.

We don't keep old fogy ideas and we don't stay in one place all the time. Several pupils moved this week, they couldn't stand to remain in the back part of the roomonly well behaved pupils can hold the back seats. The stars in the Merchant of Venice were bribed. They received three pounds of mixed candy for not making any breaks. Don't you wish you were a star? One of the Seniors is taking geometry with the Middles.

He intends to show them how he used to do up geometry when he was a little boy. It would take all the adjectives in the dictionary for a girl to describe the costumes in the Merchant of Venice. Pocket money was rather scarce after Tuesday. Most of it was spent for chromos with little verses attached which were sent to friends. Are we glad that the entertainment is over? It seems like we are now having the "calm after a storm." Lessons were out of sight this week.

Gunpowder and Dynamite occupy two front seats. You must be careful when you are near them. From Monday's Daily. Chas. Smith of Halstead was a visitor to Newton yesterday.

A large number of friends of Mrs. E. Collins went to the depot yesterday and accompanied her remains to their final resting place in the Newton cemetery. The services at the grave were conducted by the Rev. G.

Lowther. A class of six was confirmed by Bishop Thomas at St. Matthew's Sunday and the confirmation service was followed by a remarkably fine sermon by the bishop from Hebrews 6:1. Excellent music formed part of the services. A tickling sensation of the throat, a piping voice and a disposition to expectorate frequently, are the forerunners of a dangerous throat affection.

The bronchial trouble often developes into consumption, unless checked by the timely use of Dr. Bull's cough syrup. Beware! The Women's Home Missionary society gave an excellent entertainment at the Methodist church last night. The programme as published in Saturday's REPUBLICAN was carried out and the various numbers proved exceedingly interesting. A large crowd attended the meeting.

Representative Frazer was here this morning on his way back to Topeka. He thinks that the legislative difficulty is no nearer settlement than before as the Populists will not agree to abide by the decision of the courts and some of them talk of going to their homes and forming armed companies to compel the Republicans to yield. Quite a party went to Pittsburg this morning to attend the grand encampment. It consisted of M. Covert, Dr.

They had obtained possession of the old and wornout banner and made it all over with new gold cord, fringe and tassels and presented it to the post as good as new.

THE CREAMERY. An Institution of Which Newton May Well Be Proud. Butter Wholesaled to Other States. -The Halstead and Whitewater Separators Tributary to the Newton Creamery, As the welfare of a town is reflected in the prosperity of its institutions, the steady advancement of Newton is portrayed in the success of its creamery. In face of the fact that during the boom days an extensive creamery had been built and allowed to fail, a company of men who believed in the town came here last September and erected an extensive establishment for the manufacture of butter, on East Second and Magnolia streets.

Desirous of knowing what advancement had been made a REPUBLICAN representative called at the creamery and was shown through the plant by the accommodating foreman, C. A. Stauffer. A farmer with a well filled wagon of country produce was unloading several cans of milk at the receiving room. Here the milk was weighed and run into a heating vat about the separator.

Flowing from this into an improved De Lavel separator, the cream appeared in one trough and the skimmed milk in another, and flowed tranquilly to their respective vats, the resuit of shaking up the original milk at the rate of 6,000 revolutions per minute. The skimmed milk is sold back to the farmers at one cent per gallon and is used as feed for young calves. The cream is run into the 300 gallon box churn in the basement which is revolved until the butter is made. Its appearance before being worked is beautiful, resembling golden mustard seed. The butter is then worked and put up for the market in tubs and one pound prints.

The latter mode is the most popular with buyers and most of the butter is put up in this way. Each cake bears the imprint of the creamery and is wrapped in oiled paper. The power for driving the machinery is obtained from a twelve horse power Eagle engine on the first floor. The separator vats and 200-ton ice house are also on this floor. The basement with cement floor contains the churn, worker and packing On the second floor are found the receiving room, the storing room and the office.

where J. L. Hoffman, the efficient manager, attends to the business of the Newton creamery as well as the one at Hesston, the Halstead separator and the Whitewater separator, all being owned by the same company. The cream from the last two named will be shipped here to be churned. At present about 200 pounds of butter are made daily, but the output will soon be increased by the addition of a second separator.

Orders are now filled from Colorado, New Mexico, Indian Territory and City, and the creamery is over 1,000 pounds behind on its orders. The butter is shipped partly by express and partly by refrigerator cars. The excellence of the article manufactured is attested by its ready sale, even when no traveling salesmen are employed. Over fifty farmers sell the milk from their dairies to the creamery for which they receive $1.05 per one hundred pounds. The price per hundred varies with the season, but is always more than could be produced from the milk by the farmers themselves.

Last month $2,418 were paid for milk delivered to the creamery, and that amount will greatly increase during the summer months. The Halstead separator will be in operation in about a week and the one at Whitewater by March 1. The butter will all be wholesaled from here, and it is safe to say that the Harvey county butter here manufactured will find a ready sale wherever a choice article is required. Heart Disease Curable.

Conred. When one woman rebukes another, the cynical bystander thinks it well to have his ear open. She was a woman whose clothes were better than her manners, says the Washington Star. She walked into the railway car, tilted her head superciliously, sniffed once or twice, and asked, in a loud voice: "Is this the smoking car?" "No, ma'am," answered a demure young woman in the first seat. "I think you'll find it three cars If your liver or kidneys are out of order it is noticed at once on the face either by the skin being a dark greasy yellow, or by blotches and pimples appearing on the surface.

The first 1s a bread or kneading board, land is so convenient, simple and cheap in construction that no man can give his wife a laudable excuse for not having one made.

This size gives plenty of room to roll pies and yet leave space for the pile of pie-plates, flour-dredger, sugar, lard, while on the shelf above is the spice box and bottles of flavoring extracts. The drawer below the shelf contains the rolling-pin and cake-cutters. The cut speaks for itself, and shows accurately how the board is made, and how it looks when the supports are folded up and the kneading-board turned to the wall. The busy, economical housekeeper who often wishes to make the same fire answer for cooking a meal and baking a batch of pies, and yet dreads to get the kneading-board in the way while she is so busy, will appreciate the utility of this simple convenience; and if her men folks only knew it they would have many little luxuries now do without, simply because it is too tiresome and laborious to lift and carry everything back and CELLAR SHELVES. forth from the pantry four or five times ter and Fireside.

If you have a shady back porch, have one of these hinged tables fastened to the walls, and you will find that in summer you will do the major part of your work on it. Vegetables can be prepared for cooking and fruit for while if you bring your gasoline on the porch also, half the terror of that operation is abated; dishes can be washed on it, and indeed you will find so many uses for it that you will wonder how you ever got along without it.

The second cut portrays a set of shelves for the cellar. So very simple are they that any man who can handle a saw or hammer ought to make one the first rainy day. They were intended for shelves to hold milk-pans, but will be found useful for many other things beside. The model from which this was drawn had curtains of cheese-cloth, front and back alike; the upper edge of the curtain had several eyelets worked in the hem to slip over the small 1 brass nails on which they were hung, making laundering so easy that no excuse could be found for not keeping them fresh and clean. I would suggest as an improvement that wire netting be tacked tightly over the back, while a door of the same be hinged to the front, thus precluding the possibility of a wandering breeze lifting the curtain to admit flies.

The farmer's wife will find this convenient for milk, while her urban sister will find, if she places her week's marketing in such a place, where the air can circulate freely, that her meat and vegetables will keep longer and in bet- A Modest Doctor. An unfortunate woman was run over by a Broadway street car. A crowd gathered around the victim. After some delay a doctor appeared on the scene. It was too late.

The poor woman was dead even before the doctor arrived. "Oh, doctor, if you had only come little sooner," said a voice in the crowd. "Even if I had come sooner, what more could I have done for her?" replied the doctor, modestly glancing at the placid features of the remains. -Texas Siftings. of cruelty," observed sporting editor, meditatively, "isn't the 'wedge' of two opposing football teams about as striking example of V.Vsection 88 you ever saw?" -Chicago Tribune.
