More Steps il

More Steps in the Butler-Strong Case.
In the Butler-Strong litigation two more
steps were taken yesterday. The award of
S22.323 to Paul Butler, SO, 500 to George E.
Kirk, IS, 1862 each to WilliamA Cook and F. It.
Browning, and $500 to William A MattinglY
and a. B. Duyall was placed on record, and
and the National Republican Publishing Com
pany was given leave to appeal on claim of
$3.50. 1t is understood that a transcript of
the record in the case costs $4,000, and the
appeal may not be taken. The otherabranch
OF the case was the dismissal in the criminal
division of the suit of the United States against
Samuel Strong and t. Humphrey Brooke for
violation of the United States statutes. The
death of Strong was suggested by Assistant
District Attorney Jeffords and a. nolle en-
tered as TO Brooke. Brooke was Strong's
witness and assistant in procuring testimony
in the case. The case against Brooke for
forgery was also nolled.

to be treated in this manner. "And do you

OLBERG CASE FALLS THROUGH.
Owing TO the Mysterious Disappearance Of
Mrs. oiberg, the Case Against Major
russell Was Abandoned

huSSCil w as anuHIOUeG-
Mrs Ella Clara Olberg is still numbered
among the missing, so far as her friends are
concerned. Up 10 a late hour last night she
had not returned to her home at No. 500 H
street northwest, and not sign of her pres
ent Whereabouts can be discovered.
Mr.. Olberg has secured the city and made
every effort TO find her, but without avail
The deepest grief exists among her family at
her sudden and significant disappearance
Her absence had a most important bearing
upon the prosecution of the case against
MAJOR A. A. Russell. as the matter came up
for the last time before Judge Miller yester-
day morning
The auditors at the police court who waited
eXpectantly Tor Developments OF sensational
character in the forgery case were evidently
disappointed at the sudden termination of
the case.
On account of the lack of sufficient proof,
except that of John G. Olberg, Prosecuting
Attorney Muilowney entered nolle pros.
OIberg said he knew that his name had been
forged TO the deeds of trust, but the identity
of the forger Is still Il mystery 10 him, so far
as direct evidence is concerned.
District Attorney Birney was of the opinion
that Mrs. Olberg was in possession of con-
victing evidence. but the forgeries were of too
long standing for definite settlement of
the case.
District Attorney Birney, when seen by a
TIMES reporter yesterday, said that the facts
in the case were few.
The reason for the case being nolIe
pressed he said twas the lack of sufficient
evidence on the side OF the prosecution. Mrs.
Oiberg was out of town, and she was the most
important witness in the case. If the charge
had been made soon after the forgeries were
committed there would probably have been a
definite settlement OF the affair, but as it is
the attorneys had no proof except Olberg,
who even could not tell who the forgers
were"
"Then the case is virtually abandoned?''
asked the reporter.
well. you can see for yourself" said Mr.
Birney in manner that intimated that the
case will not be concluded.

OYSTER Cocktails

The following receipt was furnished by the
chef of the Pacific Union Club of San Fran
cisco, so is probably the best desired: For
every 100 small oysters take four tablespoon
fuls of tomato cats up, one tablespoonful of
pepper vinegar, one tablespoon full OF Worces-
tershire sauce, the Juice of two lemons, two
or three drops of Tobasco sauce. and o ne cup
of oyster liquor. Drain the oysters Tree from
their liquor and strain the required amount
before using. Mix the cocktail fully half an
hour before serving and thoroughly chill.

The skin is a grand respiratory organ. By
absorbing oxygen from the air and secreting
carbonic acid it gives the blood invaluable as
sistance in its purifying work. The more eff
cient this assistance is the less strain on the
lungs. The beauty of texture and the Wig

pend largely upon the care it receives. No

Every Home Should Have a Dynamo.

Every Home Should Have Dynamo.
There is an easy way 10 render an ordinary
tack hammer an article that may be used with
comfort and do away with all danger OF
bruised fingers from its misdirected blows. A
little electricity will do the trick. The process
is so simple that it should be universally
adopted.
All that is required is access TO dynamo.
Then lay the head of the hammer on the
framework and leave it there for about five
minutes. This needs no strength, bat the
hammer cannot be detached without the
knowledge that some force holds it fast to the
ironwork, and herein lies the secret. BY con
tact with the dynamo your hammer has been
maGnetized and will pick 10 any bits OF iron
or steel that are not too heavy forts strength.
Iacks and small nails too snort to be held
in the fingers when driving may be easily
placed in position for the hammer blows with
out using the fingers or thumb and much
speedier work accomplished. In retacking
torn shades the man OF the house will a. once
appreciate the blessing Of magnetized ham
mer, since he can pick the tiny tacks from the
box direct with his magnet, press them into
the roller with the same tool. and by one
blow drive the elusive fasteners home.

CAULIFLOWER.
Four Recipes for the Cooking OF This
palarable Vegetable.

Four Recipes for the Cooking OF This
palatable Vegetable
Scarcely any vegetable can lay claim to
greater general popularity than the cauli-
flower, and there are few yegetables-except-
ing the potato-which lend themselves to
more varied treatment.
cAULIFLowER WITH CHEESE.
Plunge a medium-siZed caulfCwer into
boiling water. allowing a good tablespoonful
Of salt to the water; boil the caulihower until
just tender. strain it. and break into sprigs.
Heat hall pint of milk and pour it over the
same quantity OF WeIl-seasOued bread-crumbs
and have ready some grated Parmesau or
other stale cheese. Butter a shallow. round
enameled dish; place first the sprigs of cauli-
flower, then cover with the soaked crumbs.
and powder these thickly with the cheese.
Place a few nobs of butter on the top.
CAULIFLowER WITH TOMATOES.
This is pretty in effect. Prepare a puree
Of fresh or timed tomatoes by stewing them
till soft in . little butter. then pressing them
through a strainer. Season this puree rather
highly with pepper and salt. and let il sim
mer well. Boil a cauifioYer until quite
tender. putting a spoonful Of vinegar into the
water to keep it white: then drain il. Pour
Hover
into sprgs, lay gently upon this bed and
place little tufts Of parsley here and there.
cAULIFLowER FRIrTERs.
Boil a caulifower for a few minutes only,
separate it into sprigs. and let these lie in
''marinade'' of seasoned vinegar for n short
time. Then drain them and dip each into bat
ter made with one beaten egg. a little flour and
a spoonful OF milk. Fry in boiling fat until
OF a delicate brown. pile them in the center
Of a dish and place outlets around: or. if a
vegetarian dish is desired, make savory
sauce and pour it around the caulIfower.
CAULTLOwER SALAD.
Boil a caulifower until it breaks easily:
let it drain until perfectly cold. Shred the
heart Of a white cabbage lettuce and mince
together small onion, a few sprigs of
parsley, and CRATE finely a tablespoonful of

Storms on the Sun.

The velocity with which solar storms
move is very great, and they sometimes
extend over a space several times as
large as the whole of the earth's sur
face. In common parlance they are
called "sun spots," but as they are
known to have a rotary motion exactly
similar to terrestrial cyclones they may
be regarded as true solar storms 1t has
been computed by eminent astronomers
that these sun storms move with the
astonishing velocity of 120 miles per
second, and we can best form an ade-
quate conception of what the force of
such a storm must be by comparing it
to an earth storm moving at 100 miles
an hour, which is indeed terrible hur-
ricane. Darlington and Hodgson, the
English astronomers, describe q sun
storm which travelled 80, 900 miles in
five minutes, and in 1871 Professor
Young of Cincinnati witnessed one that
travelled 166 miles per second for 40
minutes and constantly threw sheets of
fame and fiery matter to a height Of
not less than 200, 900 miles above the
suns disturbed surface!

Trouble For a Postal Clerk,

1t has happened before that man has
got himself into trouble by neglecting
to give his wife the letters for her which
he has in his pocket, but the present pre-
dicament of postal clerk in Maine has
some new features. While handling the
mail not long ago he saw letter direct
ed to his wife and put it into his pocket
instead of letting it go through the usual
channels. Another clerk in the car saw
him take the letter, and not knowing
who it was for reported the fact to his
superior officers, and as result the of
fender is now suspended from duty
awaiting hearing on the charge of rob-
bing the mails. One of the damaging
facts against him is that he forgot to
give the letter to his wife when he got
home and carried it on another trip over
the road.-Portland Argus.

CONFEDERATE VETS WIN A DRILL
They Beat the Famous Chickasaw Guards
and Challenge the North to a Contest.

They Beat the Famous Chickasaw Guards
and Challenge the North to Contest.
The other day 80 x-Confederates men
who fought during the civil war third
of century ago-drilled against that
corps of the Chickasaw guards which 16
years ago was declared by General Sher-
man to be the best drilled body Of men
he had ever known in this country or in
Europe. The contest was given for the
benefit of the Forrest monument fund.
Nothing like it had ever occurred in the
south before. Such group of specta-
tors, so thoroughly representative Of the
south as it was and the south as it is. has
never been seen in Memphis. An ex-Fed-
eral brigadier, an ex-Confederate briga-
dier and an ex-Confederate colonel were
the judges.
Of course the thought had not been
Ieriously entertained by any one that
the -Confederates-theyw who had stood
in the hornets nest" and the "bloody
angles" of the fearful days so long past
could do more than make more or
less graceful parade. They were men
advanced in years. A third Of a century
makes somewhat of difference in ones
hearing, in his vision, in the elasticity
and responsiveness of his sinews. These
men for nearly 80 years had been lean
ing over desks, welding tools, engaging
in the affairs of commercial or profess
sional life. 1t was not TO be supposed
that they could suddenly lay down their
pens, their books and their tools, and
donning their old habiliments make any
thing like a serious contest against the
crack corps of the Chickasaw guards.
1t is said that among the 80 there were
only three under 90 years of age, and it
was apparent that in the ranks were men
old enough to be grandfathers. Yet, to
the amazement of the spectators, these
men knew how to drill by Hardee's tao
tics. They had not lost their ability to
keep step or to follow their file leaders.
They knew how TO load and fire in ca
dence. They knew how to obey COM
mands given rapidly, either for the man
ual of arms or for evolution. They could
wheel like gate. They could double
quick. In other words, these staid and
sober citizens demonstrated that they
had not forgotten the soldiership that
once they knew. The veterans were
awarded the prize.
And now an idea occurs growing out
of the splendid performance of the ex-
Confederates. Let them challenge an
equal number Of ex-Federals of the north
to drill against them upon Memphis
ground. 1t would be an event in which
the whole country would be interested
and would tend to cement the friendship
Of the sections. The Memphis ''old boys"
need not fear competition. They DEM
onstrated their ability to cope with any
ex-Federal 80 of like years. We are sure
that Memphis ex-Confederates would be
glad to pay all the expenses of the guests.
What great time it would be!-Mem-
phis Appeal-Avalanche.

BIOttinP Stone.

Mineral blotting stone is a novelty.
1t was exhibited at the meeting of the
National Academy of Sciences recently
in session at Washington. On the desk
of one of the scientists was thin slice
of light colored stone. He used it for a
blotter, and it absorbed ink better than
any bibulous paper. The stuff is for
nation composed of sediment deposited
by certain hot springs. 1t has been ac-
cumulating for ages in the locality men
toned and is available in inexhaustible
quantities. Highly porous, it will take
up surprising quantity of ink. The
merchant will employ it incidentally as
paperweight, and occasionally the Of
flee boy will scrape it off with knife
an easy task, the substance being very
soft-making it as good as new.-Phila-
