THOUSANDS DESTITUTE.
Pitiable Condition OF Dakota Farmer
Through Eailnres of CcOps.

Pitiable Condition OF Dakota Farmers
Through Failures of Crops.
Mr.. Marvin, of st. Paul, Mimi, chair
man OF the relief committee for the Oak ota
sufferers, stated on Tuesday that he felt
convinced from Information received that
1t was nearly 10000 families, representing
total of upward of 100000 people, who
were destitute In the Dskotas. Such wide
spread distress and the magnitude of the
problem which II represents TO the twin
cities is appalling. How TO meet the needs
of such "a host Ia question beyond the
power of any small committee to cope with,
and much will depend on the spontaneous
generosity of citizens of ST. Paul, Mime
apolis and Eastern cities.
So far the contributions that have been
sent In are shockingly inadequate To the
necessities of the case. The committee Is
making the most strenuous Efforts to obtain
and forward all possible aid for the suffer
ers as promptly as possible. Governor
Millette, territorial governor of Dakota,
writes:
"There are no funds at present availabe Q
for the destitute In the territorial treasury,
and it seems to me that the only practical
means of relief Oh the part of the territory
or the state In through the board of COM
missioners OF the several countless"
Mr.. w. B. Sterling, of Huron, arrived
nj st. Panl and said: :" The people of
Faulkner and Miner counties are in a stat q
of destitution. They have experienced a
failure of crops for three years, and last
year the loss was absolute. They have no
means wherewith To purchase either food
or fuel, as their farms, as a rule, are mort
| gagged To such an extent that they cannot
| raise any more money by that means In
Miner county there are eight thousand
| people, and one-third of them need help.
| The other day drove through that county

chips for fuel In Huron the people
have organized as thoroughly us possible
TO furnish relief. The ladies' have formed
Dorcas societies, and are supplying cloth

At the unyeiling Of a monument to Cesar
Rodney, Of Revolutionary fame, nj Dover,
Delaware, on Wednesday, ex-Secretary ot
State Bayard delivered an address, In the
course OF which he read letter written by
Thomas McKean, one of the signers Of the
Declaration Of Independence, TO a nephew
of Rodney. The letter contained the follow
ing curious Information: -,
"Now that I am ON this subject, will
tell YOU some truths no: generally known.
In the printed public journal of Congress
for i77e. volume II, II would appear that
the Declaration of Independence was
signed on the 4th OF July by the men,
bers whose names arc there inserted,

Congress for the first time on the 4th
Of November following, when the names
of Henry Wisner. Of New York, and
Thomas Mexican, Of Delaware, not printed
as subscribers, though both were present
and voted for independence. Here false
colors are certainly hung out there Is cnl-
pability somewhere. What can offer as
an apology or explanation Ii that ON tho
4th OF July, lT76, the Declaration of Inde-

have been told that n resolve had passed u
few days after and was entered on the

he should have signed the declaration, In

Medic'ne' Given by the German
Doctors" Under a Chcmist's
scrutiny,
The lNTELIIGENCER's exposure of the
travelling doctors on Wednesday has been
generally commended.
A patient of the English and German
doctors went To them for catarrh. They
demanded six dollars in advance, and
gave him two bottles of medicine of
which he was 20 take twenty drops daily
This was eleven days ago. Samples of
the medicines given TO this patient were
secured by the lNTELEIoENCER and sent
Professor Schiedt, the chemical expert
of franklin and Marshall college, f r
analysis. The professor reports that
one bottle contains ironand spiritsof nitre,
the other AN extract of opium ana
iron, also sugar in order to con-
ceal the taste. Neither of these
medicines will hurt and neither of
them will do much good. A physician of
standing said that neither of these meli-
cines would have any effect on catarrh.
The doctors continue In business with
their card board signs and no names dis
played, as before the INTELIIGENCEL's ex-
posure. They have not registered.

Potatoes for Breakfast.

Bnr those who are. unable to eat. O
breakfast without potatoes in some form,
several ways OF preparing them are given.
For scalloped potatoes, slice those that
are cold boiled, and put In u baking dish a
layer Of potatoes, and season with salt
and pepper, bits of butter and dredge
with flour; add another layer of potatoes,
and season them, continuing until the
dish Is nearly filled. Over the top of the
dish scatter powdered cracker or bread
crumbs and small pieces of butter, and
moisten with cup of good milk or cream
and bake ten minutes. Raw potatoes
may be scallOped in the same way, but
they require half an hour for baking.
Mashed potatoes are scalloped by heating
mashed potato that has been seasoned
with butter, milk and salt, and beating
1t till light, when beaten egg may be
added. Then put into dish alternate
layers of the potato and slices Of cold
boiled eggs, seasoning the layers of eggs
with salt and pepper. Cover the top with
cracker crumbs and bits of butter, moist
en- with little milk, and bake fifteen
minutes. Mashed potatoes baked In seal
lop shells are glazed with grated cheese
and melted butter are also good.
For potato crouquetts take warm po-
tatOes, mash them, and add the yolks of
two eggs thoroughly beaten. Season
with little nutmeg, salt and dash of
Cayenne pepper, and mould into oblongs,
or flat ball. Roll them in a beaten egg,
then In cracker or bread crumbs, and fry
them In lard that is boiling. Fried pota-
toes may be prersred In several ways, the
simplest being to peel raw potatoes, cut
them In slices lengthwise, and after fry
ing them a delicate brown In plenty Of
hot lard, to drain them, sprinkle with
salt, and serve at once a. fried potatoes
should be eaten while crisp and hot.
The famous Saratoga potatoes are not
so easily prepared. For them select
small potatoes, peel them, and slice as
thin as waters, either with one of the lit
tie machines used Purposely for them or
with sharp knife, taking care to have
the slices all Of about the same thickness.
Lay in Ice water half an hour, and then
dry them with wet cloth and drop into
kettle of boiling lard. Fry a delicate
brown, drain In the colander scatter with
salt and serve Immediately A wire bask-
ct IL convenience In cooking them, and
they may be drained on brown paper laid
on plate In the oven. These potatoes
are often served for tea as well as break
fast. When cold they may be restored
by standing In the oven minute.-N y,
