Cooking Potatoes.

See that your potatoes are good to
start with; otherwise, no amount of
cooking will render them so. Boil them
always in salted water, pouring off the
water when done, and allowing the mois-
ture to evaporate. In mashing, mash
and beat very thoroughly. Serve very
hot, whatever the way of cooking be.
Nothing is more unpalatable than a cold
dish of potatoes. 1t is desirable TO have
variety in the cooking of so common and
frequent vegetable as this, and it is to
be hoped that the ordinary cook may be
induced to find few more changes from
the customary boiled or baked specimens
which she, in nine cases out of ten,
brings to her table twice a day the
year round. There is no vegetable which
receives such insulting treatment as the
potato, nor one which viii so we'll repay
little careful study as TO its capabii
tiles. Good Housekeeping.

DO Not approve Of Drunkenness.

Philadelphia Record.
The decision Of Pennsylvania will be
profoundly discouraging to the friends
Of restrictive and protective legislation.
It is the eighth state in which constitu-
tional prohibition has been successiyely
submitted TO popular vote, and
in which successive unfavorable
verdicts have been rendered This
shows conclusively the drift Of the tide.
The people do not approve of drunken
ness; they disapprove incorporate legis-
lation. They think that the perpetuity
Of free institutions is best insured by in
dividual responsibility and by keeping
the hand of the state ont of private af
fairs with which il has no business to
meddle. No wise man need be disturbed
by the work done yesterday, and no just
man need be disheartened

THE BLACK ASSIGNMENT.
Blacks Memory has not been Improved
Since His Last Hearing.
PROCEEDINGs MONDAY.

|
The Alonzo s. Black assignment
matter came up In continuance Mon
day afternoon before Judge Snyder in
his private Office. The desire was &c
find out what had become Of the mon
eys that were accounted for at last
hearing.
Nothing was elected from him on
that point. He could not even remenl.
ber what became Of the money he had
received four days before the assign
mcnt. He said he didn't remember
paying any debts of any size; in fact,
could not remember anything about
lit-might have given something 10
his wife, but did not know. He Ger.
tainly did not deposit anything on
the banks.
The Court said he thought the una
counted for money ought to be in the
hands Of the assignee, and that that
officer should take legal steps to get it,
or to test the question Of right To its
possession.
in his sons possession or inBlacks, at
the time OF the assignment and not
turned over to the assignee As to
the 1869 which Black got four days be-
fore the assignment, the Court was in
doubt. 1t did not satisfy any one to
have Black say he doesn't remember
what became of it. Therefore. the
Court orders the assignee so pay over
to Black no moneys under his claim of
exemptions ($4OO), which claim is to-
tally diSallOwed. If he can make any
explanations Of the disposal of that
money that is satisfactory, that part
Of the order may be modified. The
Court would not, however commit
him for contempt because he had not
Explained what he had done with il.
Armstrong appeals from the order
disallowing the exemptions; and to
simplify the record petition asking
such allowances was filed as of past
date.
| Widmer said the creditors would ap-
peal from the order refusing commit
ment: and suggested that if the petit
tions were allowed Black would have
his S4OO exemption and the 1863 also.
CThe Court wanted to proceed at once
to hear testimony on the petition. but
Black, by Attorney Armstrong, object
ed, and it was agreed to consolidate
the testimony and hear this portion of
it later.
Snow said the assignee should see
that Black purchased nothing at the
sale avertised: for if Black bought, the
creditors would certainly object to the
aSsignees turning over to Black any
property purchased by the creditors
money in his hands.
Just at the close, Widmer asked
Black what had become of the money
had for the sale of 30 tons of hay sold
to Hulse.
Black | got my pay
But" said Widmer, "you only got
Sl5 Where's the other 1852"
Black" got my pay"
The Court said if the balance had
not been paid, the assignee should get
it. Hulse will be interviewed therea-

of the Rev. Holmes is most excellent
one. and Fulton st. Church may be
Congratulated upon having secured SO

ed the most important charges in the
Kansas Conference, amongst them st.

Holmes is not only recognized as an
excellent preacher, but most success,
ful pastor, and ne has to help him in
his work worthy lady, being the
sister of Prof. Wheeler, of Garrett
Bible Institute. All will recognize the
trying position of the new pastor in
assuming the duties and responsible
ties so recently relinquished by his
able and exceedingly popular prede'
cessor. The Society Ners congratulates
both church and pastor for the bright
future that is in store for them. Ful.

more can and will be done in the next
five years"

Notwithstanding Sunday was raw
day, a little cold for open air riding,

enough to carry all the travel. Even

were filed to overilowing when run

The Company has begun to make
