- PEAKING OF the sixteenth annual

the World says:
A few years ago the noble St. Bernard
had very few representatives of even
moderate merit in this country. To-day
America could probably show q team
against the combined kennels of the old
world. Plinlimmon, the English cham
pion, was exchanged for 1000 American
dollars. Sir Bedivere, his successor,
quickly followed him across the pond,
costing $6500. Hepsey, female St.
Bernard, induced young Baltimorean
to part with about half that amount. A
SON of we'll known New York brewer
was the next prominent purchaser. For
$3.50 he got Scottish Prince, Aristocrat
and Anitonette. He was followed by
another gentleman Of the Empire City,
and there fell to his lot Prince Regent at
$2500. Young Keeper the winner of
the English 100 Guinea Challenge Cup)
and Princess Florence, the best bitch i'll
England. The latter cost $4,000.

HARD WATER BEST FOR TEA.

./Recently experiments have shown that.
after tea has been stepped in boiling
water for three minutes, over tve.sl1ths
of the valuable constituents Of the leaf
are extracted, while at the end of ten
minutes the leaves are almost entirely ex-
hausted. It is better, therefore, not to
allow tea to "draw" for a long while, as
there is no gain in strength, and the
favoring principles are volatilized and
lost. Hard waters dissolve less tannin
from the leaves than soft waters, and are
to be preferred on this account.-New

CELERY.

AS winter ana early spring FeSe-
table celery is more generally used than
almost any other, declares Mrs. E. R.
Parker, in the Courier r-Journal. The
following recipes for preparing it will
enable housekeepers to serve 1t with
vanity:
Stewed Celery-Take the green stalks,
scrapc and wash and cut in small pieces,
and soak in cold water for twenty-four
minutes. drain, put in a sauce pan, cover
with boiling water and add teaspoonful
of salt, let boil half an hour, take up,
drain, throw in cold water. Put one
tablespoonful of butter in frying pan,
let melt, nix in teaspoon OF flour un'
til smooth, add a pint of milk and stir
until it boils, thin with half a cup OF
boiling water, season with salt and pep.
per, put the celery in this sauce, stir un-
til heated, and serve.
Celery Au Jus-Scrape and wash Gel
cry stalks. cut in small pieces, put IN a
sauce pun, cover with soup stock and
let boil half an hour. Put tablespoon
full of butter in frying pan and brown,
add tablespoonful of flour and mix un-
til smooth. Drain the celery, add half
q pint Of the water in which 1t was boiled
to the butter and -four, stir until it boils,
season with salt and pepper. Put the
celery in heated dish, pour the sauce
over and serve.
Creamed Celery-Clean the heads,
take off the course outer leave, cut, RIP,
and stew. When tender take up and
pour over cream sauce.

COOKING AS A PROFESSION.

Now that the majority of girls wish
to support themselves, it is O pity that
more do not take up cooking as pro-
fession, says a writer in Orchard and
Garden. Those who have natural
taste in this direction will find it a pleas
ant and profitable employment, while
the knowledge and experience thus
gained will be invaluable all through
life. At present the few professional
cooks in the country are enjoying large
incomes as the result of their labors, and
there are not enough trained teachers CT
cooking to supply the demand.
In oil the large cities there are now
cooking schools where the necessary
training may be obtained. The course
usually includes not only practical COOK
ing, but the chemistry of cooking as
we'll as its physiological side. The tul.
ton is generally 800 for six months
course.
Upon graduation the young woman
finds several openings. She may be en-
ployed to teach cooking in the public
schools; she may have private classes or
give private lessons to Individuals she
may take position as cook in hotel or
boarding house, or she may 60 into
hospital and teach the nurses how to
cook for the sick.
With such opportunities before our
girls we wonder why so few take advan-
tage of them, while hundreds are pre-
pairing themselves for the less remuner-
ative and more wearing work OF the
ordinary teacher-a profession that is
sadly overcrowded.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 4.-The sheriff and
several citizens of Hitchcock county have
called for help from the governor. The
trouble is one of. the county seat ''wars"
that have so frequently disgraced the his
tory of western states. The two towns en-
gagged in the fight are Culbertson and
Trenton. Some time ago the supreme
court issued an injunction restraining the
removal of the records from Culbertson, but
Sunday night an armed force raided Gull
bertson and took the books. Trenton peo-
pie claim that books alleged to have been
taken were Treasurer Benjamin's private
property which he had right to take But
citizens of Culbertson say he took the rec
ords of his Office. At any rate half the
county officials are doing business in Tren-
and the other half in Culbertson.
Difficult to Find State Officers.
Governor Boyd is out of the state, and
Secretary Morrissey wired Acting Governor
L. j. Majors the situation and asked him
TO come to Lincoln. General Vifquain
made arrangements to put the militia in
the field at once, but at l p. m. no word
had been received from Lieutenant Cover
nor Majors. 1t is understood that q collis-
lon between the rival factions took place
yesterday at Culbertson, but that no one
was killed, although shots were exchanged.
Had to Leave Political Meeting.
Private Secretary Morrisey succeeded in
reaching Acting Governor Majors last
night and explained by telegraph the
tronble at Culbertson. Governor Majors
at once ordered Adjutant General Vifquain
to the scene of the trouble. Gen. Vifquain,
who is the Fourth district Democratic candi-
date for congress, was addressing a meet
ing at Exeter when Governor Majors Or
der reached him. He explained the situa-
ton to his auditors and at once left for the
scene of the trouble. Governor Majors did
not reach here before a. m.stoday.
Troops Ready to Move.
Secretary Morrisey and Attorney General
Hastings are in consultation at the state
house. Mr.. Morrisey who has orders from
the governor to do all necessary to preserve
the peace, says the militia will go today I'M
less the situation changed last night. The
militia companies of Beatrice, Kearney,
Omaha and Lincoln were at their armories
last night ready to move at a moments no
tice. In addition to this the Omaha gat-
ling section was in readiness to move.
Both Towns Under Arms.
Private advices from Culbertson last
night were that the whole town was I'M
der arms guarding the remaining records
against removal by force and that the
Trenton people were armed against any
move to capture the records now in their
city. Trenton SCOTS at the idea of order
ing the militia out, but Culbertson de-
mands it. For county seat wars in this
state point to bitter and bloody battle be-

Knock Down and Drag Ont Fight at Bay

BAY PORT, Oct 3.-Trouble, which has
been brewing for the past six months in
the Lutheran church near here, resulted in
a regular knock down and drag out fight
at the close of Sunday mornings services.
Herman Groesbeck and William Steinitz
are the leaders of the two factions which
disagree regarding the organist. A daugh-
ter of Steinitz held the position until few
months ago, when the other side summoned
sufficient strength to depose her.
Lively Jangle.
Sunday morning, after the regular serv-
ice, meeting was held to choose success
sor. Both sides were present in large num-
bers, and before any action had been taken
the respective partisans got into lively
jangle, and Steinitz and Groesbeck were
soon engaged in regular fist fight under
the pulpit. Before they could be separated
half those present were using their fists,
and when the quarrel was finally ended
many had black eyes, bleeding noses and
torn clothes. The matter is still unsettled
and more trouble is expected.

they went to the court house, where but
six men were on guard. The general in

Hitchcock county seat trouble began six
