about ten days ago an article In refcrenoe
ta the proposed Increase ba rates on cream

day the price of butter fat in Council Blufi

ever received this Information and grave It
out as a statement was rnlainformefl, T
bay cream ia Council Fluffs and Omaha.
We are the only creamery that cbnrti
butter In Council Bluffs. Th price pstd
out of Council Bluffs is always th same
as we pay nut of Omaha far tbe asms class
of cream. W do make a difference ta
price between sweet cream for lee cream
making and enur cream for butter making.
I and anyone with a knowledge of the cream
ery business will know that there ta
d iff error In value of from t to I cents a
pound between these two grades of cream,
according te the demand for ire cream. If
a prtc of cents per pound was Quoted tn
Council Bluffs mora than th price for
cream ta Omaha It meant for a grade of
cream perfectly sweet, delivered At our
creamery ta Council Bluff, We will pay
this difference ta price for this grade of
cream ta Omaha, at times srhea th demand
for sweet cream will Justify him.

Tb modus operand! of the political swsia

tira past been uauatially active la it
amftlny of prtvat ror i esptrndertce. ha not
materially changed sine th tun whea. the
Nihilist propaganda first aroused it

Th boiling kettle and s-cam vapor p
plloattwa still la vogue, cacept where
th Intercepted letter bears a wa seal r
seaia Ta opea and recloae a aealed letter
without leaving any easily noticeable tra'-ea
of it having been tampered w th i a
process requirti.g am littla delkacy of
manipulation on tbe part of the Inquisitor.
A thin, sharply edged si eel blade. Lted
just ta tb requian degree ta pass under
and remove th seal Intact, la used, but if
thi Is don clumsily, then, unlea the
letter b appropriated or destroj-ed. a new
eesj must be made. This is rfTected by
taking a mould of tb seal with a sub
nanc shoe chief Ingredient i gypsum,
and tbe elahorate appliances of the csbtnet
nolr quickly furnish from the mould a new
seal of the same kind of sit practlr-ally
indistinguishable from the old one. It 1
customary ta thia country to attarb the
pos-ag on letter as a wafer Instead of
a seal -r.at Is. the postage Is pis red on
the reverse side of the envelops, covering
the point of th Joining flap.
Thi almtt Invariable custom renders
th application of the steam kettle a com
paratively easy matter, and 1f th pos'Ag
be occasionally destroyed It is readily re
placed by new postage of the same denom
ination, and the obliterating atamp of tbe
place of origin is araln applied A suspect
letter may b opened at the poatoffioe of
It destination, but that Is of ne eonse
eurnn. as every branch cabinet aolr pos
sesses obliterating stamp for every city
and town In the empire, and ahould th In
tercepted epistle of foreign origin tb
expert officials cas very rapidly prepare
a perfect counterfeit of th obliterating
etatrrp.
A different process, and a very sin. pie
one. Is employed when th cover of the
arrested letter 1 of jtout tertur. aucb a
the official stationery commonly used in tbe
diplomatic nd other official services, and
1 sealed. The i.pjier or lo-r or on of
the end folds of the letter is carefully cut
witb a narrow and extremely sharp paper
knife and th slit fold is rejoined with s
special kind af very fine and strongly ad
hesive oement. which is of various color
to match the particular ahade of envelop
operated upon. Th natural crease la the
fold of very thick paper greatly assists th
success of this process.
It wa first publicity revealed some
twenty years ago through a curious blunder
on the part of a postal Inquisitor in St
Petersburg A member of th clerical staff
at the Qua! d Cray had written a private
letter on official paper ta a friend ta tbe
FYenrh legation in the Russian captal.
Th envelope bore three seals, and was ap
parently Intact when delivered. "
On opening the letter tbe recipient w-aa
astonished to find enclosed a Russian trans
lation of th same In pencil script. Th
postal inquisitor had Inadvertently enclosed
his Russian transcript! The Indignant
receiver made very strong protest In th
proper quarter, and eta weeks later he w-aa
politely informed that th irring official"'
had been aeverely reprimanded and that
there would be no repetition af tb trrearo

Tb discuss ion or outcry about Vic
President Fairbanks' caterer's cocktail
has gone on toe long te be entertaining,
except aa It recalls some teetotal peculiart
tiea. In Mr. Hayes' administration tem
perance was th rule, for no win was p-r-mttted
at th executive table, and an in
temperate attempt t regulate other peo
ple's appetites governed th country. An
order was Issued forbidding th presence
of distilled liquors on board of warships.
Th result was circumnavigation. One
whea a prominent member cf the adminis
tration visited a wershlp anchored off the
Washington navy yard it was wet through
by the ratn. wbicb fall as It was rowed ta
tb ahip.
"Can't you giv m a drop of whisky,
captain T" said th august potentate.
"I cut air; It's against Order Na i."
replied tbe grave captain; "but I can glee
you soma nary sherry."
When tba wot en tats lasted the brown
stuff h winked,
John Xjong pursued th Idea a little
farther. It bad long been the custom fa
the navy te give the sailors beer at am
of their tneala, John Lxmg forbad It.
Th consequence wa not circumnavigation;
was drunkenness. When tb meat got
shore leave they drank enough ta last
them far a good while, and they dldnt re
turn te tb ahip; tbey wer ret arned to t
ta bundles. A liks result followed tba
abolition of the right ta sell wines and
