It was decided that J. J. King of tho West
Point compnny should be president of the
combined company, but the formal election
has not been had.
Each of the constituent companies will
havo one member on tho board of directors
When tho new company Is ready to begin
operations thn crenmerles nt the different
towns In the state will be discontinued nnd
In their place will be established collecting
and skimming stations. The cream will be
shipped to Omaha, whero It will be churned,
The Omaha creamery will cost $20,000, ex
elusive of buildings, tho company having
decided tn rent a building for the first and
thon to build ono upon their own plans
upon railroad tracks' where their stock can
be handled without tho Intervention of
wagons.
The combination will havo tho effect of
consolidating the local mllk-dlstrlbutlng
offices of the West Point nnd Waterloo
creamery companies, but the milk business
will be kept scparato from the butter bus
Itfess, as but two creamery companies are
Interested in the former In this city. The
promoters say that there Is no Intention to
advauce the prlco of either milk or butter,
but to rcduco the cost of production of the
latter.

President filves Evidence of

I'ntrlntlsm.
Ills
NEW YORK, June 12. Secretary Long is
quoted by tho Washington correspondent of
tho Trlbuno on tho subject of President
McKlnloy's statement on tho third term, as
follows:
"I think the president by this act has
given ovldenco of his wisdom and
patriotism. After eight years of tho bur
dens nnd responsibilities of office he looks
forward to tho relief of private life. As
a matter of prlnclplo and conviction, also.
ho would not accept a third term and has
evidently felt It his duty to conform to the
traditions of his country in this respect
This action of his, I believe, will do moro
than nnythlpg else can do to settle this
question for all time."
Secretary Hitchcock said: "It Is a noblo
statement, saturated with patriotism from
beginning to end. It will be forever his
torlc and Is Just what a loyal lover of his
expected from such a loyal lover of his
country and his countrymen."
Postmaster General Smith said: "In
taking this step he has not only followed
his personal Inclinations, hut ha has acted
from a deep sense of duty nnd from his
belief In a prlnclplo of our Institutions
which he thinks absolute ond unchangeable,
Beyond this, his administration Is dealing
with great public questions of the first
magnitude, which he feels should overy
where bo considered fully nnd exclusively
on their owrl merits without tho possibility
of the Imputation In nny quarter of per
sonal thought or purpose."
