The material OF the defunct New Era
has been taken up on Broadway and
stored for safe keeping. The owners
who are out Of pocket to the tune of
seven or eight hundred dollars each
will hold the material hoping to
realize something out OF It. The plant
is one Of the oldest in the State. 1t
did service twenty-five years ago on
the old Cape G~irardeau News, pub
lished by the late A. NJ. Cssebolt The
types are old, worn and out Of date.
The machinery is worn out and is un-
ct for use in this progressive age. The
owners of the plant Are the victims Of
a sharp newspaper adventurist. They
are in the soup. They will never get
their good money back and they had
just as we'll make up their minds to
this fact and get the old dirty rat trap
of their hands now. They may be
able to dispose of the material to
some type foundry for two Or three
hundred dollars, and that will be n
fair price for 1t.

The Big Hotel Project.

The idea offorming a stock company
to build q big hotel in this city seems
to take we'll with our business men.
We heard several business men say
they would take stock in the enter
prise, and they are satisfied that nearly
every business man in the city would
take some stock. They recognize s8s
fact that one big modern hotel would
do we'll in this city and they knawa
would be an sdvertise@sns tsrte

a scientific treatise on food SUBJ
stances, and their dietetic properties,
together sikh practical explanations
OF the principles of healthfui cooking,
original. palatable and wholesome re-
cipes. The interest in scientific cook
ing, or that relating to health. has
manifestiy Increased in this country
1lghin the las decade rs Is evidenced
by the SUCCESS of which has attended
every intelligent EFFORT toward the
establishment of schools for the in
struction oi cooking in the United
States A. We callot all send our
daughters to these useful institutions
of culture, 1 propose TO present to
the women and young girls of South
east Missouri this New System of
Cooking Id b. learned and practiced
at home. All m lies OF labor have
been advanced by the result of modern
r4search and discoveries and have
been advantageously modified by the
'esult of science. But the art of cook
ing is at least a century behind in the
march o. scientific progress. The
mistress of the kitchen is still cropping
ner way amid the uncertainties of
medieval methods, and daily bemoan-
ing the sad results OF the "rule of
thumb" The attempt to make whole
SOM, palatable and nourishing food
by the methods commonly employed is
rarely more successful than that of
the misguided alchemist in transmit
ting lead and copper into silver and
gold. The new order of cooking
brings health and sweetness, where
once was a confusion of mixtures and
muses. which made us poor mortals
groan in anguish at the grip OF that
dread of all humanity dyspepsia.
Those who make themselves familiar
with Mrs. Kellogg's system of cooking
invariably express themselves trebly
astonished. LIST, at the simplicity of
the methods employed; End, at the o
suits of wholesomeness and attractive
ness; Bird, at the economy and health
giving properties. It is not q rehash
OF what is found in every cookbook,
but a . method in the preparations
of foods evolved from a thorough
study and application of the scientific
principles OF chemistry and physics.
The food is made inviting to the eye
and palate, as we'll as nourishing to
the digestion. This book will be pre-
sentsd TO the ladies OF Cape Girardeau,
Mo-, by the agent for Southeast Mis-
seuri. MRS. N. r. HOPE.

TO DOWN SALOONS.
A Move to Make Jack.
son a Dry Town..
The Old Man Wants His Son Taken

The Old Man Wants His o Taken
in the City Limits and he Is Will
ing to Make jackson N Dry
Town to Carry His Point.
We are informed by citizens of Jack
son that a move is on foot outthere to
forever make Jackson a dry town.
The scheme is to extend the city limits
so as to take in all the surrounding
country that is inhabited by people
who are cranks, on the question OF
saloons and who will sign remon-
strances against granting saloon
licenses. County Treasurer Kies, we
are informed, is the instigator of the
movement. He has a son who resides
just outside the city limits and he
wants to take his son in out Of the cold
and at the same time make him a citi-
zen of a prohibition town. The scheme,
if it works, will make Jackson a dry
town for all time to come.
We regret that u old friend Kies
is one of the movers in this matter,
Nh. Kies holds a good paying Office.
Nobody objects to his drawing his
salary-nobody tries to dictate to him
as to what he shall or shall not eat or
drink, and we do not think it is right
for him to interfere with the liberties
of other people. Bro. Kies as a preach
er he has a right 10 eat and drink
what he pleases, but when he attempts
to regulate the stomachs of other peo-
pie he is getting out Of his beat both
as a preacher of the gospel and as an
Office holder. Jesus Christ was a
good lar and He did not interfere
with the wine dealers when he rode
that venerable ass through the city of
Jerusalem. Christ's mission was to
preach the gospel, and if Bro. Kies
wants to be a great and good man he
will have to drop his little side shows,
quit meddling in things worldly, and
do as Christ did.

o'clock last Thursday night from eat

another son and two servant girls
were also poisoned, and became i'll,
but not seriously. By Friday evening
they were out Of danger. The salmon
Of which the family partook was badly
decomposed, and a few moments after
1t had been eaten little Willie COM
planned of being sick. Surprising 1t
to be o bilious attack, Mrs. Cramsr
administered the medicine usual in
such cases, but the little fellow became
worse. DR.. A. G. Enderle was called,
but the boy died At 9 p. m. These
facts were brought out at the inquest
at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. A

case. Nothing vas known Of the mat
ter until the papers were discovered

burial certificate was issued by DR..
Enderle, but it was referred to the
