COOKING SMALL FISH.
Mrs. Rorer Tells How to Best Prepare
Them for the Table.

In The March Ladies Home journal
Mrs. :. r. Rorer, in telling how to fry
the small fish, quotes the old saying:
"Small fish should swim twice-once
in water and once IN oil" "Smclts,
trout. whitebait. perch and catfish. -
she says. care, perhaps, more palatable
fried than broiled. Small fish may be
stripped-that is. the intestnes may be
pushed out under The Gils. So that the
fish may retain their shape Wash
and dry, then dust with salt and pepper
dip ia egg and roll in brcadcrumbs. or
they may be rolled in corn meal. Have
ready good-sized pan with sufficient
oil to cover. Put the fish in frying
basket, then into the oil at a temper
aturc of $500 Fahrenheit. and cook
for about five minutes. Drain on
brown paper and serve. Where a
small quantity of fat is used, and the
fish cooked on one side and then turned
and cooked or the other, the method is
really not frying-it is sauteing; the
result Is much more indigestible than
real frying. Catfish are frequently
fried in this way without beng dipped
in crumbs. Suniish may he rolled in
flour or cornmeal and carefully fried in
dripping, oil or lard. A mixture of
dripping and lard makes better fry
ing material than lard alone. A pure
vegetable oil is ireer from danger of
disease germs than either. Meyer use
butter for frying fish; II bois at low
temperature, consequently burns quick
ly; the butyric acid softens the fibre of
the fish. destroys the flavor, and causes
it to become soft as soon as taken from
the pan.

MIR. Charlie Bigelow Tells About Politics
ut the Capital.

Mr.. Charles Z. Biglow, who for two
years has been deputy commissioner OF
labor OF the state, returned 10 Wichita
yesterday morning and Will make his
home here in the future.
In the fate OF politics, Mr. Bigelov's
successor is the same man whom ne sue
cesded two years ago, and he tells Cahr-
les after ruefully dreaming over the
CHASTITY wreck of the recent legislature OF
his party, that two years hence he wills
turn the keys over TO him and for the
last time. In commenting on the late
Pop. legislature, Charles says: 'Tope-
ka's pet auditorium bill was safely pilot
ed through both houses but is invalid
because OF some clerical blunder The
same is true Of every bill Of Importance
passed. and only universal howl OF des-
perate woe is heard from the Populist
press everywhere. II is related that only
a few days ago Governor Leedy tele-
graped the governor of sister STATE
asking What arrangements he had OF
taking care Of imbeciles, as our institu-
tons are filed. The governor of the
neighboring state wired in reply: Plenty
of room over here; send on your entire

A. o'clock yesterday afternoon John
V. Cunningham walked out Of the Seds-
wick county Jail, after bidding goodbye
to everybody in it and thanking the
sheriff and Jail officers for their kind
ness.
At o'clock with his friends and rela-
uves he took the Rock Island train for
mis- home in Taylor county, Texas.
Before leaving they called al the Eagle
Office desiring 10 have the paper express
to the people of Wichita for Mr.. Gun
ninsham, his highest appreciation of the
kindness and impartiality manifested
towards aim by the community. They
said they wer now perfectly willing TO
trust their case 10 the people OF Wichita
and Sedswick county.
When the lawyers got through with
their arguments before Justice Jones the
latter in a short speech said that as ne
did not want TO embarrass the state h.
would hold the defendant on a charge
OF murder in the first degree, but as the
proof was not evident or the presumption
great. he would admit him to bail in the
sum OF $4,000
Justice Jones fxfied O'Clock as the
hour for approving the bond. but before
that County Attorney Amidon, accom-
panied by Carl Allen of the circus and
E. L. Fitzpatrick, the ex-sewer inspec-
tor, entered Justice Jones Office and
asked not to have the bond approved I'M
til he had examined il.
At o'clock the bond was signed and
approved and note sent 10 the Sheriff
TO have the prisoner released. The
bondsmen are Major Calvin Hood of
Emporia and L. s. Naftsger and John
NJ. Moore of the Fourth National bank
OF this city. Major Hood would go all
the bond, but according to law one or
more bondsmen must be a resident Of the
county where the offense was commit
ted.
The arguments were very good on both
sides, but the feeling Of the audience was
that the states attorneys were entirely
too harsh In their criticisms Of the de-
PENDANT and the witnesses. They went
so far as to criticise AL Christman ter
ribly on account of the fact hat he tes-
tilted that he saw a revolver in the
hands of Mcmahon before he fell to the
floor. One of the attorneys for the state
openly accused Al. Craftsman Of lying.
This was considered very harsh state
ment. considering the standing Of Mr.
Christman as citizen and business
man.. The attorneys for the state, how
ever. are trying this case, and they
know. in all probability, from experience
and otherwise, the best method of ad
vancing the cause of justice. The ettor
neys for the defense made more conser-
vative speeches. Both Judge Wall and
A. z. Helm made strong and able argu-
ments. Excepting what was considered
unnecessary abuse the attorneys for the
state also made strong arguments.
