has issued an injunction restraing the
clerk of Sangamon county from print
ing the official ballot without the
names OF the Democratic nominees in
place of the Populist nominees for rep
resentatives and county Offices.
The clerk made no objection Monday
to filing the Withdrawals of the Popu-
list nominees for county Offices. as that
was in accord with the legal provis-
ions, but he refuses to substitute the
names of the Democratic nominees for
the same offices because the Demo-
cratic nominees were chosen in a reg
ular convention and the Populists got
their ballot by petition. Judge Creigh-

How to Make Good Coffee.

A Portland sea captain who has made
voyages for many years to South American
ports has the reputation of making better
cup of coffee than can be made by any other
man in Maine anG he has impaired the sec
ret to an Evening Express man. The recipe
follows
''In the first place it is made in an ord
nary kettle but be sure and have the kettle
thoroughly secured out after every batch
This is something the Central Americans
are very particular about and much of the
charm of the beverage in that country is due
to that circumstance. Put the coffee, the
best and plenty of it, into the kettle, break
eggs into it and then stir this mixture up
into the consistency of paste. Fill the ket-
tie up with cold water and let the coffee
soak for half an hour. Then place the ket
tie on the stove, and let it come to a boil
after which Immediately remove it to an
other part of the stove to steep. Serve with
hot milk. If you can't run a hundred yard
dash after one cup of this mixture, inside of
fourteen seconds, it won't be the fault of the
coffee

Mr.. Henderson opened the discussion.
He construed the constitutional provision
giving Congre power to pass bankrupt
oy laws to devolve upon Congress the
duty OF passing such law. He stated
that no bankruptcy law has ever been
enacted, which did not, like the pending
bill, contain both voluntary and inyol-
untary features. He said the COMMITTEES
kept steadily in view:
First-The rights of the debtor. giving
him most liberal remedies In voluntary
proceedings, and in every possible way
protecting those who are honest from un-
just prosecution, and at oil times from
persecution.
Second-The rights of the creditor CIV
ing him ample protection leaving no
cruel weapon In his hand
Third-The necessity for law that
will be inexpensive and simple as pos
slble in operations The committee sought
to make this bill thoroughly national,
adapted to all parts Of the country, and
uniform in it's operation.

NO USE FOR SECOND PLACE.
Mr.. Reed is ON No Contingency Candidate
for Vice Presidency.

Washington, April 8s.-The published
story to the effect that Speaker Reed
might agree to take second place on a
ticket with Mckinley is amusing rather
than serious for the adherents of the man
from Maine.
Mr.. j. H.Manley, of Maine who was at
the capitol yesterday denied that there
was any truth in the report.
"There is absolutely nothing in it,
said MIR. Manley. "Mr. Reed will not
take second place on the ticket with any
body. He has no ambition to be the Vice.
President of the United States When
was in st. Louis it was suggested to me
that it would be good thing for man
like Mr.. Reed to be in the chair of the
Vice-President and revolutionize the Gus
toms and rules of the Senate. Itold those
who suggested it that unfortunately for
their theory the Senate was differently
constituted and the rules of the one body
could not be apply to the other through
the mere ruling of the presiding officer.
I very much doubt il Mr.. Reed or any
other man will ever be able single handed
and alone to change the rules of the senate.
The story had NO foundation in tact. NJ r.
Reed is a candidate for the Presidential
nomination at St. Louis and nothing elseI

WILL ASK FOR RESPITE.
Attempt Will Be Made to Save Holmes Un-
til He Confesses His Accomplices.

Philadelphia, April 28.-Lawyer Bull
lock of Indianapolis. who is in this city
in the interest of Fl. H. Holmes, the
convicted murderer of BENZ. E. Pitezel,
who is sentenced to be hanged May Z, to-
day admitted that reprieve would be
applied for. One of the principal rea-
sons the attorney said for asking for a re-
prieve is that Holmes has become tired
of standing alone in the punishment
for his crimes, and il the governor could
be induced to grant him brief respites
he would divulge the names of several
men who aided in the killing OF so many
persons.
Mr.. Bullock refused TO mention the
name of any one equally guilty with
| Holmes. He rather mysterious!y inti-
mated that the end of the Hatch story
was about to he reached.
''You can rest assured" !" he continued
there is a strong card yet to be played,
even if the governor should refuse to in
teroede. There are other openings
throughswhich. Holmes can be saved from
| the galloWs, until he has explained fully
his connection with several crimes to
which he has confessed"
This evening Coroner Castor of Indi-
annapolis, and Lawyer Bullock will have
conference with Holmes. They made
several attempts to reach Holmes yester-
day afternoon, but permission was not
granted them to enter the prison until
today.
