Meals on Christmas pay,

Let your breakfast table showforth
it's brightest silver, china and glass
and it's snowiest linen, writes Frances
e. Lanigan in a timely paper on '"The
Table on Christmas Day" in the
Christmas number of The Ladies'
Home Journal. Have for your centre
piece low bowl of holly, showing
the bright, glistening red and green to
those gathered about it. Fruit,
either white grapes, oranges, or best
of all, shaddocks served with pow
dered sugar, make a good foundation
for all the sweets and goodies that
this feast day sends into the stomachs
of most of us. Oatmeal or pearl hon.
my served with cream should come
next, and lastly, French chops served
with peas and creamed potatoes, &C.
companied by hotrolls, and steaming,
fragrant coffee. Hot cakes are best
avoided on holidays, / think, and
simplify matters in the kitchen.
For luncheon, let bouillon in cups
be served as your first course, follow
it with thin slices of cold roast beef,
ham or tongue, served with brown
hashed potatoes, g. dish of sardlnes
served with sliced lemon, and another
of chopped celery with mayonnaise
dressing. A dish of fruit is your
most successful desert, and coffee,
chocolate or tea, as the tastes of the
family dictate, the best liquid &C
compartment. AS most of the dishes
of this luncheon can be prepared cas-
lily, and as it may be easily served
and even more easily cleared up af-
ter" it has something more than it's
hygienic qualities to recommend it.
Color of the Eye Test of Strength.
1t is said that the health of the
brunette type of eye, is as rule, su-
perior to that of a blondetype. Black
eyes usually indicate good powers of
physical endurance. Dark blue eyes
are most common in persons of deli
cate, refined or effeminate nature, land
generally show weak health. Light
blue and, much more, gray eyes are
most common in the hardy and
active. With regard to the diseases
of the eye, brown and dark colored
are weaker or more susceptible of
injury, from various causes, than
gray or blue eyes. Light blue eyes are
generally the most powerful, and next
to those are gray. The lighter the
pupil the greater and longer continued
is the degree of tension the eye can
sustain. The majority of frst-class
shots are men whose eyes are either
blue or gray in color.-Indianapolis

SECRETS BEING TOLD.
Assistant Secretary Bussey and
Pension Bureau CLERKS Do
the Telling.
How Calls Were Used as Aids to
Republican EIectioneering
in Indiana.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-ASslstant
Secretary Bussey, of the interior de
partment. testified before the pension
office investigating committee today
that lie had recently received letter
from an attorney stating that James
Dugan, acting as clerk to Represents
tive HalloWell, of Pennsylvania. had
offered to fHrnish information similar to
that furnished by HerSey. He had sent
the letter to the commissioner. Mr..
Bussty contradicted statements made
by Green B. Raum Jr. yesterday. re-
fecting on the character of James
Englc. pension Office clerk, who
brought charges against him. ". f.
Steitf, a pension Office clerk, testified
that lie ane other pension Office clerks
were specially assigned to at
tend to the calls made by Mr..
competitor Red \. DuJnan, chief of
the Western division of the pension
Office, testified that his division answered
about - of Mr.. Dunbar's calls, and
some $50 or goo remained unanswered.
The Instructions were to answer all
that could be answered by Tuesday be-
fore the electIOn-Ihe inference of
course being that If calls could not be
answered by that time 1t would be no
good.
Deputy Commissioner Davidson, of
the pension office. testified that when he
received Mr.. Dunbar's letter asking to
be treated on the same plane as con-
gresSmen with respect to pension cases
the request was accompanied by about
$50 calls. 1t was unusual for the office to
give this privilege 10 other than MEM
beers in such a large number of cases,
though it was customary to occasionally
call up cases for prominent persons.

MuBANK, s. d., April l5.-Interest
today attending the op.ning Of the Sis

was no particular excitement. 4 special
train left this city west on the main
line with laudseekers, sheriit's posse
and spectators for tie western part OF
the county, where are three townships
in the reservation. On arrival Their G
WAS great rush for claims, but no
trouble. \ special train left on the
Wlmot line with about 100 spectators
and laniseekcr5 and at Wlmo:
about 100 more boarded the train. At
the reservation line they were met by a
guard Of soldiers, VINO kept the train
and teams back until high noon, when.
at the signal Of firing guns, a grand
rush cnsued Of men on horseback and
in teams. The train proceeded to the
new station Of Bush at the END Of the
track. six miles inside the reservation
line, where an exciting race commenced
towards desirable lands north and east.
Every landseeker had spade and
few provisions. Tho principal rush
was made by agents Of the Wllmot
Land and Locating company, who sue
ceeded in stalking out a claim for the
Town site Of Sissat0n
on the survey Of the Milwaukee road at
a point nine miles beyond the end Of the
track and about thirty-sevcn miles from
Milbank. Quite a number who failed
to secure claims returned to MilOank.
Altogether the day was highly interest

CHICAGO April 15.-"No, sir. am not
a candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton; in fact, | will frankly say have
not heard my name mentioned for the
place" Senator William b. Allison, OF
Iowa, today laughed a merry laugh
while his fine eyes tUlnkled as he shat
tered what might have been a boom for
himself. The senator was in a merry
mood, ana after he had sidetracked him
self he launched out in talk very
flattering TO President Harrison, whose
denomination he professed to regard as
almost a fOregOne conclusion. The SEN
ator SAID he was satisfied that the Iowa
delegation would be for Harrison, and
that Mr.. Blaine's name would not be
used in the convention.
The senator denied that there was
any significance in his conference here
last Sunday with Senator SAWYER, OF

O'Clock today noon Capt. Ellison, of
Company f, Eighth United States cav
airy, fred his pistol into the qulvering
air at the bridge across the run that
marks the boundary between Minnesota
and South Dakota and the coveted lands
of the SisSctOn reservation, and in one
minute the level stretch to the Yves
ward was the scene of a mad race for
homes and fortunes. Ever since s
o'clock in the morning the settlers had
been gathering at the crossing. Emf
grants from the old world, from the
Eastern states and from neighboring
states were earliest on the ground. Then
the citizens Of the neighboring villages
drew near, and towards noon the farm
ers of the surrounding country assem-
bled, until for half a mile back across
the prairie q Gordon of teams from SIX to
ten abreast were arranged ready To en-
gage in the wild race. Rigs carrying
from two to five persons readily brought
five dollars for each occupant, and each
driver was more earnest IN laudlng the
endurance and speed OF his animals
During the morning the crowd passed
IL
one another, chatting with the ladies'
present, or gathering in small knots 10
discuss the situation. Occasionally
shot at the numerous tlOckS of geese pass
! ing overhead broke over the murmur of
yo.ces. Everybody was goOd-natuGed
and confident. Although fully 800 people
were at this place, no disturbance Ill
| the least took place At 1850 the cap
| tain sent his men back to guard the
camps, a short distance in front of the
! bridge, from destruction, and five min
utes later he called all to be in readi-
ness. For a few minutes an intense,
eXpectant hush fell upon the merry
throng Reins were frightened in
nervous hands and whips were poised
ready to descend on willing Steeds.

f, mad rush like that of Derby start.
Heavy as the rush OF the tide the mass
dashed forward. The crowd at the
bridge vanished as though the earth had
! swallowed them, and the plain was
filed with a thrOng of yelling, whoop-
! ing and geSGiculatlng mad men.
The spectators were just as excited
| as the eager settlers. Considerable
amusement was afforded by the mlring
of mule, whose owner was anXiouSly
crowding too near the line. The only
accident was a runaway, which did not
result in any damage a soldier showed
great skill in capturing the fleeing
horses. Several locating agents, who
have been busy finding claims
for intending settlers all spring were
euchred out or the lands they had
picked out for themselves by settlers
who had fleeter horses. Only about one.
half of the vacant lands were sQuatted
on today, and the excitement is moi

THE CHEY ENNE BORDER.
Not So Many Won Id-Be Settlers
as Expected.

as Expected.
Ell RENO, Okla. April 15.-The ex-
element over the opening of the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe lands is quoting
down, due principally to the fact that
new arrivals are materially decreasing.
The boomers in their wagons continue
10 pour in all along the border, but the
crowd coming IN by rail IS not as large
as that which moved on the Oklahoma
country three years ago, and as the
time for the opening draws near 1t be-
gins to look as though the crowd that
VIII 20 in will not he nearly as
great a one as that which entered
Oklahoma. This is due to the fact that
three years ago thousands of people
who were not farmers rushed to Guthrie,
Oklahoma City and the other towns,
thinking that they would secure town
lots that In few years would make
them rich, while the new towns in the
Arapahoe and Cheyenne county will all
be miles from any railroad and do not
invite this sort OF immigration.
Many OF the boomers, even those who
have horses and wagons. do not seem to
have any cash, though most of them
have flour and bacon. hundreds real

hold down a claim, and have 10 in
tention of doing so. They hope TO
secure good piece of land, ana
then sell out 10 some one within
two or three days. 1T they can't
do this they will be reduced almost to

along the northern boundary estimate
that there are $500 people on that line
east of Cantonment and about LOCO
west. There are, perhaps, 1900 peo-
pie ready to 20 in from the
east, and 1000 or 5000 in the

Texans are drawn up along the south
