Charges have been preferred against Maj
Edward Baker, late government depot
quartermaster at St. Louis, by Thomas
Maxwell Of Maxwell Bros. The charges

charges have been sent to Gen. CHI.
Thompson, chief quartermaster OF the
military division of the Missouri at Chicago,
and an Investigation is now pending. It is
alleged that there is a still more serious

Details of Samuel Kipatrick's Death.

Meagre statements respecting the death
of Gen. J.. Fitzpatrick, .. S. minister at
Santiago de Chill, have reached the depart
ment of state. For five months prior to his
death Gen. Fitzpatrick had suffered intense
" from Brights disease to such
an extent as to incapacitate him almost
completely for official duties. In his re-
sponsible position this preyed greatly on
his mind. IA few days before the end he
rallied somewhat, the pain diminished and
he seemed more cheerful and active On
thevery day Of his death he endeavored to
dictate to an amanuensis some dis
patches to the state department.,
but was forced through sheer
weakness to desist. He died peacefully at
a quarter before ten on the night Of Dec.
End. Every consideration was shown him
during his last hours. His funeral was an
nounced to take place Monday, Dec. 5th.
The officers and men Of the United States
war steamer, Alaska, then lying at Valpa-
riso, were to assist at the intermedt.

Murder in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

On Wednesday, a drunken man named John
Toohey shot his wife, who Immediately expired.
Toohey had been n s'hard drinker" since he be-
came a resident of Minneapolis (some two years
ago., but the habit had become more apparent
since the death of his SOD, John Tochey Zone of
the victims of the last mill explosion, on the
4th of December). The neighbors state that
ne had been in the habit of q1arreling with his
wife and eldest daughter, and had frequently
threatened to kill them both because they
objected to his persistent dissipation.
Wednesday morning, about 1915 O'clock
&C cording to the statement OF his daughter,
Toohey had consumed a quart of whisky, and
while in the kitchen, ordered his wife to 90 to
an ADJACENT saloon for another quart. This she
positively refused to do, and after a brief and
angry dispute, Toohey drew his revolver and
fred, the ball striking and penetrating her
breast The poor woman turned around and
walked through the sitting room door, and had
nearly reached the front door opening on TWEEN,
ticth street when she fell to the floor and ex-
pired with few convulsive gasps.
Toohey talked for some time very sensibly.
He said he was fifty two years old and was
married thirty five years ago in Leeds, Eng
land, to the woman he had murdered, and
had ten children, five of whom are now living.
He came to Minneapolis in May, 1880, from
St Adams, Vt, and had no trouble with his
wife until about three months ago, when he
became suspicious of her virtues, &c.

How to Cook the Turkey.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
Mr.. Roth, at the Lindell, said when asked
how to cook a turkey, that much depended
upon the stuffng He prefers .chestnuts to
oysters, and this is his recipe: Take
twelve pound turkey and clean thoroughly
and rub with salt and pepper. Boil 8
pounds of chestnuts, peal and thin them,
add pounds of sausage meet (pork),
chopped onions, parsley, thyme, 4 raw eggs,
salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pound through
q colendar or seive. Fill the turkey, sew
him up, and bake for two hours and half
in middling hot oven.
Mr.. Bartholomew gives the following re-
c1pe for cooking a turkey La provincale:
Take young tender turkey, empty care
fully, and after making dry with rough
towel make dressing of sausage and boil
cd chestnuts Leave skin on the
neck long enough to sew to
the backbone. Stuff tightly and sewup all
openings. Pick with lard. Roast in pan.
tut plenty of grease or butter on, and salt
well. Roast for an hour and half. Make
gravy in the pan and serve with celery
sauce.

John Bright Oh Education.

From Speech by Him at Lindudno, in Vale
have sometimes heard it said that tn
rich themselves could not have the advan
tage of going to the board schools. In
many parts-in fact, I am not sure if not in
all portions-of the United States; but I
an quite sure that in New England states
the schools are attended by children of all
classes. I recollect Mr.. Adams-who
many years ago was the minister for the
United States in this country, member
of one of the oldest and highest
families in America, if I can use such Ian
guage, whose father had been president Of
the United States, and whose grandfather
also had been president of the United
States-alWays went to the same school
with the son Of his fathers gardener, they
meeting and learning together. In Eng
land some classes of people would object
to assemble at such schools. But here I
am afraid that such people could not have
the advantage of board schools. They
would miss learning and get many things
which would not do them much good, but
1 think they would get a little common
sense. I know shall be criticized as not
being scholar myself. lam one of those
who, in the sense of high cultured people
never had any education. I@learned same
Latin, and very little Greek, but all the
Greek has gone long since, and traces of
the Latin only still remain. What want
the people to do and know is that which
prepares them for their daily duty, which
gives them self-respect, and which teaches
them to respect others, which makes them
better children in their families, which
teaches them to respect and have regard
and reverence for their parents.

HOUSE AND FARM.
How to Tell Good Butter.
Robert Hall, Ohio Butter Inspector.

: =. -f-- d
When butter is properly churned, both
as to the time and temperature, it becomes
firm with very little working, and it is.
tenacious; but its most desirable state is
swaxy, when it is easily moulded into any
shape, and may be drawn outa considerable
length without breaking. It is then styled
gilt edged. It is only in this state that but
ter possesses that rich, nuttyfayor and
smell, and shows up a rich, golden yellow
color, which imparts SO high a degree of
pleasure in eating it, and which increases
its value manifold. It is not always neces-
sary, when it smells sweet, to taste butter
in judging it. The smooth unctuous feel
ing in rubbing little between the finger
and thumb expresses at once it's rich quail
ity; the nutty smell and rich aroma indi-
cate similar taste; and the bright, golden,
glistening, cream colored surface shows its
hight of cleanliness. 1t may be necessary
at times to use the trier, or even use it I'M
til you become an expert in testing by
taste, smell and rubbing.

From Thompson ~ Vests History Of
Nevada.l
Hon George +. Parker was born in
st. Charles, Kane County, Illinois,
November 20, 1850, his parents being
among the first settlers of that county.
AT the age Of eight years his parents
removed 10 Chicago, when his father
enlisted in the Union army, and was
killed at the battle of Fredericksburg
in 1863. Leaving his mother in Chi
cago, he went to Nauvoo, Hancock
County, and afterward entered the
Industrial University, in Urbana,
Champaign County, where he re-
manned till 1871, when he returned to
Chicago and worked at the carpenters
trade till 1876. Leaving Chicago in
the spring of that year, he turned his
face westward and travelled overland,
arriving in Nevada, locating in Cherry
Creek, White Pine County, where he
still resides. Since setting in that
place he has been engaged in the res
taurant business, and at his trade OF
carpenter and builder.
He was married at Cherry Creek on
the seventeenth day OF February, A. d.
1879, to Miss Mary Z. Jakes, OF Step
Zoe Valley, Nevada, by whom he has
had one child. In $50, having be-
come interested i'm the politics of the

Ho, For Cherry Creek.

During the past six week a Cherry
Creek craze seems to have taken poss-
ession OF our people. That lively
little camp at first received a number
Of our most worthless characters, but
now good people are directing their
steps in that direction. This morn
ing's stage was loaded to the waters
edge with a human cargo, which in
cluded five children. II this thing
keeps up much longer Cherry Creek
will have TO erect another school,
house and church. We hope the emf
grants may not be disappointed in the
future ofthat camp.-lEureka Leader.
We regret to have 70 state that the
inducements for newcomers here,
just at present, are anything but flat
tering. Two mining companies have
within the past month suspended
operations. and it is not Mt all likely
they will resume before spring opens.
Several skilled miners have left here
for other parts in the past tive weeks,
and there is Il large surplus OF idle
men here just now. 1t is sheer folly
for any one looking for employment
to turn his steps toward Cherry Greek.
At no time within the past two years
were the chances for obtaining en-
ployment so few as at present.
