Kitchen and Table

Cookies-Two cupfuls of sugar, one
cupful of butter, one cupful of sweet
| milk, one teaspoonful of soda, flavOring
| to suit the taste and flour enough to roll
Potato pudding-Take one pound of
mashed potatoes, one pound of sugar,
| two cups of butter, a tescup OF cream =,
Six eggs, and the juice of lemon Stir
all together and bake in puff paste.
Sponge gingerbread-Three cupfuls of
flour, one cupful of molasses, one cup
full of sugar, one cupful of sour milk
| one heaping tablespoonful of butter, two
teaspoonfuls of saleratus, Two teaspoon
fuls of ginger, one teaspconful of Gin
namon.
Cream omelet-Thrse eggs, slightly
beaten, three tablespoonfuIs OF milk or
cream, salt and pepper to taste. Heat
and butter pan, and when almost
brown pour in the eggs; lift from the
center occasionally until the whole is
soft ana creamy. Brown slightly and
serve hot
Cornmeal gems-Three eggs, two cup
fuls of milk. two tablespoonfuls of
butter, two cupfuls of corumeal, one
cupful or -four, two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder. Work the butter and
milk into the meal, then add the other
materials, the flour last. Have your
gem pans very hot, and bake half an
hour in a hot oven.
Brulettes of potstoes-Take two CUPS
of mashed potatoes; beat the yelks of
two eggs and add to the potatoes with a
tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a tea
spoonful OF finely minced onion, q tea
spoonful of salt, pinch Of cayenne pep
per, teaspoonful of powdered sweet
herbs and a tablespoonful of butter; mix
well, put in sauce pan and stir over
the fire five minutes. Take up when
cool, form into round, small balls, dip
in egg, then in grated bread crumbs,
and fry in boiling fat.
Sweet pickles-Melons, peaches, plums.
apples and pears are the fruits par excel
lence for the sweet pickle. They are ali
prepared by the same rule. Firm, ripe
fruit is selected. rich yellow peach Is
the best of its kind for pickles. They
ought to be ripe; green fruit does not
make richly favored pickles. A Sickle
pear makes an excellent pickle; SO does
any small tart apple. Use seven pounds
OF fruit to pint of vinegar and four
pounds of sugar; stick a whole Glove in
each peach, apple or pear. Use about
an ounce of cloves to seven pounds of
plnmsi this fruit Is SO small that it would
not do to put Glove in every individual
specimen. Make syrup of the vinegar
and sugar and boil the fruit in it until it
Is tender, but not until it breaks to
pieces. Just before taking it up add
two ounces of cinnamon to every seven
pounds OF fruit. In the case of peaches
and plums, this, with CT nnamon and
cloves, is enough spice; but for pears
and apples If is an improvement TO add
sliced lemon aud ginger root, using one
lemon and two ounces of ginger to every
seven pounds of fruit. An ounce of
mace, If desired, may be added.

S2S PEGES s.

the month of August. These works are
now running day and night, and are
turning out twenty locomotives week
mostly of the largest type. But few
years ago an engine day was considered
big work for this establishment. Now
they exceed three day.
But few persons who view a passenger
train as it goes laundering past have an
idea that it represents q cash value of
from SIS, 600 to Sl2O 900, but such is the
case. The ordinary express train repre-
sents from SS3 900 to $50 900. The en-
CINE and tender are valued at $40 500;
the baggage car, $1,000; the postal car =,
$1,000; the smoking car $4,000; two or
binary passenger cars, $40, 900 each !;
three palace cars, SIS, 900 each-total,
SS3 900. Many trains are worth $3.50, 600.
The total number of miles of main line
railway in operation in the state of Mis-
sonri, as ascertained by the railroad
commissioners, is COOS. During the year
just closed scarcely sixty miles of main
line was constructed.
The greatest electric railway which has
been planned is the one proposed in Rus
STA between St. Petersburg and Arch
angel, distance of 500 miles. The plan
is to erect stations along the route for
the generation of electricity. The esti-
mated cost is only about SIS, 900 mile.
The latest statistics, just compiled,
show the total number of miles of rail-
road in the United States at the close of
1889 to be 161 1897, of which $751; miles
were constructed during last year The
mileage of lines making returns of their
share capital and funded and floating
debt up to December 81, 1889, was I6O,-
of 626S miles.

The NJ, X. & t. Extension.

The extension of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas road from Denison, or as it IS
called the Denison, Sherman and Dallas
road, is to be pushed right ahead. The
contract has been let and Mr.. John P .
Hughes of this city has been awarded it .
1t was announced some time ago that it
hal been let TO Grigsby u Co., but it
now seems that there was some hitch and
John Hughes gets the work. 1t could
have not fallen into better hands as
John and his mule are a whole team,
and with the additional forces the work
will be pushed through in q hurry. 1t
need not be expected that the road will
stop until the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas have made connections with all
their Southern lines. This must be done
and IL will be done. The road Ia soon to
be extended to Fort Worth.

Rydrophobia Among Cattle.

The state veterinary surgeon has or.
dered l35 head of cattle, owned by Mr..
McNutt, who lives on the Beal farm
Taylor county, quarantined, as twenty
head have already died of hydrophobla.
Another fence has been built around the
lot in which the cattle are confined. and
the dead cattle burned. A mad dog bit
two hogs at the Carlisle place. near this
town, few days ago, and was not
killed. One of the hogs went mad and
died. There is no knowing how many
animals this dog may have bitten. -

The Albuquerque Road.

There are no new developments in the
Fort Worth and Albuquerque situation
The grading forces are still at work, but
just as soon as they finish up the section
they are now on, which will be this
week, they will be withdrawn and work
will stop. It is not known if anything
is being done to provide for pushing the
work ahead. In very few words the
story can be told: The road is in q bad
fix. and will continue so unless some
thing is done or somebody else takes
hold of it. Messrs. Hurley, Tieruey
and Lynch will do no more work after
this week as things now stand. Will
anybody come to the rescue?

Kan.a, suf5erinp from Dron,,,

The Denver Shops.

a gentleman well posted IN regard to
the intentions of the Fort Worth aud
Denver people in regard to building the
immense shops said to a GAzETEE re-
porter yesterday that there had been no
determination arrived at to change the
location from the property acquired by
the road near Hodge.
''What If sufficient water for the shops
cannot be obtained thereof asked the
reporter.
"What would prevent water being
piped from the river?" was the answer.
The gentleman said he was satisfied in
his own mind that the shops would be
built as was originally contemplated.

where he has considerable cattle inter-
ests. When asked about the cattle sit
uatiou by q GAZETTE reporter he said it
was not good by any means, and be did
not look for much, if any, Improvement
this year.
1.-THE fact of the matter Is, - he said,
'crops in Kansas and the principal feed
ing states are failures, and this is going
to have decided effect on the prices of
cattle. Large numbers of cattle for
feeders have been shipped to Kansas
from Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico, and as there will be no
corn in Kansas to feed these
cattle during the coming winter they are
being rushed to the markets. 1t is this
that is now depressing the market, and il
will continue TO depress the market dur
ing this year. l do not hope for any i'm
provement until next spring. Then l be-
lieve prices for beef cattle will show a de-
cided Improvement, and L would advise
all cattlemen who can do so TO hold back
their stock. To ship them now Is simply
to sacrifice them. l believe there will be
good times for the cattlemen next year,
but none until then.
When asked about the refrigerators-
what the prospect was since Col. STAFF
ford IS death-Mr. Pryor said:
81 think they are all right. Mrs.
Stafford has said that it is her desire to
carry out, as far as possible, the wishes
and plans of her husband, and is ready
TO turn over the refrigerator property
of Col. Stafford to the company at Il
fair valuation. She will not operate the
plant herself. and it will certainly be to
the interest of the estate to dispose of it
at reasonable prices.
Mr.. Pryor Is expecting to meet parties
interested in the refrigerator scheme
shortly when he expects something def
mite will be evolved.

Wichita Valley Road.

Engineer P. Fl. McCrickett, in charge
of the work on the Wichita Valley road
was in the city yesterday and stated to a
GAzETTG reporter that work on the line
was progressing, but not as fast as it
would could the necessary supplies be
had when wanted. The track Is now laid
for ten miles west of Dundee, and if
everything goes as 1t should the road will
be completed to Seymour by the first of
September,

Pigs that were narrowed in February
can, if they have been pushed, be made
ready for market early in the fall, and
can often be sold at price that will re-
turn better profit than If fed longer

sized hogs that pay the most profit.
Light hogs are selling for the highest
prices just now Livestock Indicator.

NOTES.
Sashes are almost obsolete.

OosucS dIS Utmost obsolete.
Several rows OF ribbon are run round
skirts.
Imported dress trimmings show ruby
and turquoise beads.
Handkerchiefs have narrow hens
edged with valencienues lace half an
inch wide.
Almost all of the bodices are full, few
of the seams, excepting the under arm
one, being defined.
There is scarcely any fulness IN the
fronts and sides of dresses, but all is
concentrated at the back.
Deep girdles, well boned after the
| peasant bodice, are put on the new toll
cts of white and figured silk.
The most stylish sleeve is the full
bishop, made with a loose slip wristlet
one inch wide and banded jus. above the
elbow with two-lnch ribbon.
The fashionable bodice reaches nearly
to the knees. The extremely long waists
are quaint on slender women, but pain
fully absurd on those of generous pro-
portions.
Summer dresses which are made with
jacket-shsped bodioes may be given a
touch of freshness every day by the use
of loose vest fronts of null in different
colors. These are easily slipped in and
out, and give daintiness to the wear
er's general appearance.
The Tuxedo jackets in cream, tan or
the intense and vivid scarlet, known as
officers red, is one of the most con-
venient little coats for wearing oyer light
dresses; it is fastened with but one but
ton, somewhat in blazer fashion, and has
n roll inc af&
black velvet or stitched cloth.
A dressy neglige jacket is of accordion
pleated India silk crepette; it is cut quite
straight and descends half way the
knees, being tied together with lengths
of finger width ribbon. Above it is ad-
justed diminutive Bolero jacket of old
brocade, or one of OPEN work gold
braid, edged with golden grelots.
Black and white woolens in rather
larger plaids than the always favorite
shepherd 50 check are worn for many
''outing'' occasions. The plaid is taken
bias for the entire dress, and the dress is
accompanied by a great "plaid'' or
scarf wrap of the same stuff, to throw |
over the shoulders.
The most novel thing in summer |
fashions is the introduction of tucks of |
spotted net, in the skirts of silk or popln |
dresses. The tuoks are set just above
the hem and contrast in color with the
rest of the toilet, so that the effect is ex-
oellent when success is achieved, but, as
a rule, quite bizarre.
One OF the prettiest and least expen-
sive ways to make plain gown dressy is
to cover the full sleeves with black net
aud plain white ground India, no matter
how covered it may be, TO use plain
white India, covered with black net, or,
indeed, with whatever tone the gown
may be, TO get plain material for sleeves
and use black net over IL. Green, yell
low, old rose, lavender, all shades lend
themselves to this end with excellent
effect, especially the ohallies and Indias
in chintz patterns, or with large ferns
and exotics scattered profuseIy over
plain ground.

Maria Louise, second daughter of the late
Charles X. Bacon, was born in Quincy, Him
ois Oct. 18th, 1S41 removed with her parents
to st. Louis in 1916, and from there to Iron
Co., settling near the Granite Quarry. She
was for several years teacher in the public
schools of st. Louis and was married in that
city on January 2Sth, 1867, to Mr.. James
Buford of Iron County and resided in Pilot
Knob few years, and then removed to a
farm near the Cross Roads in Bellevue
Valley, where she has since resided and
where she had reared a family of children.
On the morning of Dec. oath she took her
little daughter and started to st. Louis to
spend the holidays with her mother and
sister, and was instantly killed while cross
ing the track at Iron Mountain by the Can
non Ball train.
Thus in middle life, in good health, and
happy surroundings, in the twink ling of an
eye, without moment for regret, or pain,
fond, brave and true wife and mother,
was snatched from the immediate side of
her little daughter, from husband, children
and home, from this life, to one higher,
better and more enduring. Seldom has a
community been so shocked as by th is sud-
den and terrible accident. Yet in the midst
Of all its horror we can see how it might
have been worse. The child was mercifully
spared to he a solace to her fond father.
They have left to them the home she work
ed so bravely to make comfortable and at
tractive, the dear children she gave and
cared for so tenderly and left; and better
than all, there is time left for those remain
ing to prepare to meet her on the other
shore. Her life's example shows the true
philosophical our existence. In the midst
of household cares and business interests
she steadily grew better, and the sweet
blossoms of patience, charity and Christian
love, grew with the passing years until the
time came, when she seemed ready to go
whether the summons were instantaneous
or by lingering Illness. She made her home
one of virtue and refinement, of thrift and
industry, and proved herself a helpmeet in
deed to a husband that fully trusted in her.
Her children are respected by all. and loved
their mother and their home beyond all else.
As wife and mother she passed through
sorrow common to the lot of all. About
the year 1877 she lost little son, which to
her was a severe affection, but to what ac-
count did she turn this sorrow? she saw and
felt a power greater than her own. She kiss
ed the.rod and said "Father,not my will but
thine be done ,"and then 1t was given her to
plainly see the golden chain left by the
chid's spirit, by which ever after she could
trace the path from earth to Heaven. Per-
haps she has not died too soon if by this
chain, now more brightly made, others she
loved so dearly will trace its leading and will
follow Its course. This is the only way by
which death can be made victory. There
is no man better known or more generally
liked in Iron county than James Buford,a ,and
the sympathy for him in his sad affiction
will be wide spread and sincere.
A FRIEND.
