A DINNER.
WHAT THE MEXICANS EAT.
An Americans Account Of a Dinner
in the Presidents House.

"Many Americans and other foreign
ers have made the complaint OF the
highly seasoned sameness in Mexican
fare, and all kinds OF Latin cookery
writes Edward Page CASTOR in the La
dies Home Companion, "but one who
has never sat at the table with the dis
tinguished residents of Chapultepec
president Diaz and family could find
no cause for criticism on this or any
other reasonable score. The cuisine is
unmistakabIe Mexican but the dinner
is so vel! selected that the most dis
eliminating taste finds Itself thorough
ly enjoying the novel quality of the re-
past. The soup comes o with its
thickening of roasted pea flour n d
hard-toasted bread in lieu of crackers,
followed by the ever-present eggs and
their eternal Mexican accompaniment
of fried bananas and these advance
the way tor multitude of other delica-
the dishes served, if the dinner be a
typical Mexican one, is the far famed
mole de guajelote, which has come all
the way down from the days of the
Montezumas, bringing with 1t the high
~ savored pleasures of roast turkey,
over spread with heavy dressing OF
pepper, chile and rice seeds. The tor
tilla, a small, thin pancake made of
hand-ground corn, is popular among
the rich and poor, and this will appear,
deity rolled, and containing finely
hashed meat, strongly impressed with
chile and milder dash of garlic, the
whole making up the toothsome en-
chilada. There are acccmpaniments
OF freshly sliced tomatoes, splced let
tuce, radishes and varied relishes, and
from time to time there appear other
more substantial viands. The ever
present friiole beans appear, delicateIy
Drowned IN lard, as only Mexican coc-
inera can prepare them: stuffed arti-
chokes and mutton chops come famil-
larry along, as d o small white fish
from the nearby lakes, and escalloped
oysters from the Mancha, both served
as mid-dlnner course.
"For dessert there are ices, preserved
fruits, deliberately prepared marmalades,
nuts and raisins, and great variety of
rich, fancily frosted and jellled cakes
of small size, called pasteles. Home
prepared extract of coffee is poured IN
to the cup OF each person at the table,
to finish the meal, and the two or
three spoonfuls of this syrup-thick and
I've strong composition are plentlfully
drowned with hot milk, making cup
of coffee of such delicate taste that Its
will l1nger long as one of the
best things in all Mexico"

PLAYED Mikad0.

The Andrews Opera company pres
ented the "Mikado" Saturday night
to a good-sized audience. Notwith-
standing that the same opera had
been presented here before by the
same company it was thoroughly en-
joyed, though most of course by those
who had not previously seen it.
There was no deviation from the for
mer rendition and there were no
topical songs such as Ed Andrews
usually convulses his audiences with.
The stage settings and costumes were
pretty and were the same through
out. There was a tremendous
amount Of real kissing but that hurt
nobody's feelings. The best hit Of
the play was when Koko called Pooh
Bah Mark Hanna. The company is
at Beloit tonight. Several damage
suits brought by the Andrews
brothers against Indiana railroads for
damages incurred by their families in
wrecks are now pending in the United
States supreme court.

a four column article about Dickinson
county farming and how some men
have made distinguished successes in
it. There are pictures Of several
farmers, some farm houses and big
barns. The creamery industry is
given considerable attention. Many
hundred copies were sold here and
will be sent east by people who are
interested in having the county adver-
tised. The Star recently had similar
on Allen and Brown counties.
Dickinson was chosen as represent
ative central Kansas county.

Who Il Out a Purssi

While the sons Of G. W. Shook were
playing around the old southside hose
house yesterday they found under the
floor three pocketbooks. In one was
a pension check for $lS and some
other papers, The Others we're emp
ty. All persons who are short purse
are invited to step up and take their
pick. The pension check is dated
Aug. 4, 1896, and made out on the
Topeka agency to Cyrus Corning and
that reformer probably lost it when
here last fall,
There Is also a contract for
real estate and one with j. Y. Rob-
bins, to manage branch No. 2 Of labor
exchange, and letter from Mrs.
Lease that is not particularly inter
esting. Grover Shook who found the
pocketbook ought to get reward.

FOUGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER.
But a Wild Rose Will Cement a Firm
Friendship.

Last summer when the Populists
held their state convention in Abilene,
two men, well known in Kansas,
came forth for the nomination for the
governorshlp and both were beaten.
They we're Colonel W. A. Harris Of
Hnwood and George NJ. Munger Of
Greenwood county. After the con-
vention each went his way, not know
ing that once before they had met in
a bloodier contest
A few days ago these two came to-
gether once more and with them was
Edwin Taylor, the potato king Of
Kansas. Jokingly Mr.. Taylor referred
to one as "Johnny" and to the other
as "Yank." Then they fell to talk
ing about war times.
Colonel Harris told story about
the battle Of Seven Pines how he had
hard fighting driving back the rebels.
While fighting he saw a rose bush
near him and picked a twig, later
sending it to his sweetheart. She
planted 1t and when he returned it
was large bush. They were mar
ried and brought part Of the bush
to Kansas. 1t now is in their yard at
Linwood. Mr.. Munger then COM
pared notes on an experience he had
at Fair Oaks-but Fair Oaks and
Seven Pines we're the same battle and
the men had fought against each
other in bitter skirmish. They
shook hands and Mr.. Munger will
plant a cutting from Mr.. Harris rose
bush at his own home in Greenwood
county.

She Worked for Bryan.

ing pictures Of a handsome woman
Mrs, Elizabeth Sheldon Tillingast,
who was prominent in last falls
campaign. She is a cousin Of j. B.
Case Of this city and daughter Of
Judge Joseph Sheldon Of New Haven,
Conn. Mrs. Tillinghast is young and
beautiful. She has spoken in fifteen
or twenty towns Of her own state,
and in several places in Rhode Island
and Massachusetts. Her most en-
thusiastic audience last autumn was
at Lowell, where cheer after cheer
rose from a great hall when she de-
clared: ut is now the peoples inn
ing and Bryan is at the bat" She
belongs to no organization, but has
entered singled handed into the fray
in a region where it takes some cour-
age to declare the sentiments she
processes.
The work Of the Bryan and Sewall
women lost in effectiveness during
the recent campaign through their
lack Of organization. In the East,
too, they have felt the want Of COM
petent leaders among the women.

MORE HHRSAN SUITS.
J. B. EHRsAM NOW ATTACKS THE
COMPANY.
Claims Filed for Nearly $4,000
Which Mr.. Ehrsam Says Is Duo
Him for Services Rendered Ex-
psnsivs Litigation.

Two more suits in the long strung
out litigation in connection with the
J. B. Ehrsam Machine Co. Of Enter
prise were fled Modday in district
court. Both'are brought by J. b.
Ehrssm, through Stambaugh & Hurd
as attorneys, against the J. B. Ehr-
sam Machine Go. Mr.. Ehrsam was
the originator Of the company but
ten years ago it became a stock COM
pany Of which c. M. Case was treas
urer and manager. The company
sold a great deal Of stock and Mr..
Ehrsam remained connected with it
in the position Of an employe.
In The first Of his suits filed today
he says that May 10. 1894, he was en-
gagged by a contract with the COM
pany for five years from June l, 1894,
bis salary to be $4,000 for two years
and $1,000 for three years. On June
20, 1895, there was due back SAL
ary Of 1868 and he brings suit
for this amount with interest
accrued and for the remaining
$1,000 called for under the contract.
He appends a copyof the contract
and says that in writing 1t an error
was made by which it reads in one
place $50 fur as the party Of the
second part is concerned" when it
should read "first part" etc. This
correction he asks for and demands
Judgment for 1868. His second
suit he brings on a note given him by
the company Jan. II, 1895, for $S4l,
due in 6Odays with interest at 10 per
cent. Nothing has been paid on it
and be asks judgment for the
amount.
The large amount Of litigation
which the company is getting on its
hands is making lively work for the
lawyers but it can but be embarrass-
ing for the assets Of the corporation.
