KAFFIR CORN MEAL.

We have given The katfir corn meal
presented by c.. t. Bradshaw, IL COM
plete and very satisfactory trial. hav-
ing used pancakes made from it every
day for a week, and are prepared to
pronounce it a success. We confess to
"a fondness for good buckwheat cakes
but would take the Kaflir corn meal in
preference, as it is more palpatable,
easier digeSted and does not produce
the itching which always follows
steady indulgence in buck wheat cakes
Our wife gives us this formula for pre-
pairing them: Take two eggs with
buttermilk and soda, and put in Il
little wheat flour. They are good
without eggs. Without tie wheat
flour they are liable to be too short
and break in turning. The incest are
made with teaspoonful Of baking
powder with the soda; put sour and
sweet milk together. Use your judg-
ment.'
Placed on the griddle, done brown,
a little butter put on as they are
taken off the gridde and allowed to
melt and penetrate the cake, then add
modicum of nice syrup or honey and
then-let the Chinaman have his dog,
the Frenchman his frog and the
Italian his macaroni-we envy none
of them.
We made but one loaf of bread. The
formula is this: 'sScaId flour with po-
tato water, same as for white bread.
As only made one loaf after making
the yeast for the white bread, l took
warm water in the morning with a
pinch of soda to make it rise quickly.
/ used about one handful of wheat
flour. The bread is excellent: superior
to any graham bread we ever tried
We give these directions because
they have been tried. They are
doubtless other methods which may
be just as good.-Russell Record.

Ever, where the snow drifts glisten.
Mind not how the north wind srieves.
But for the steps of spring time listen.
Who can such sweet hints forego
OF glowing signs that never vary?
In the heart of Maud know
Beats the pulse of February
He is dull who cannot trace
In her voice tone more tender.
On cheek a lovlier grace.
Around her form aureoled splendor.
And since she knows my heart is hers.
However iife's affairs may vary,
Every bud and bird that stirs
Proclaims our troth of February.

KILLED IN A FIGHT.
Deputy Game Warden and Three In
dinns Are Dead.

Deputy Game Warden and Three In
dams Are Dead.
Leech Lake Reservation, Special
Information by special messenger has
just reached this reservation that a
fight occurred between two Indians
and a game warden, in which all were
killed, including one Indian woman. A
deputy game warden, whose name cam
not be ascertained, arrived at an In
dian camp on an island in a lake be-
tween Bemidji and the Cass Lake res
erVatlOn, and seized two guns and
trapping outfit belonging to KakKak-
QTdsh and Mahcheannequah, two In
dams who belong to the Cass Lake re-
serve, and also made an attempt to
seize some furs which they had, but
they resisted this, Whereupon the
warden dubbed the older Indian with
gun until he became unconscious,
and then shot him. He then shot the
other Indian and his wife, MORALLY
Wounding both. In the meantime. the
older Indian, having recovered con-
seriousness, shot and killed the warden.
DR.. q. S. Hart, overseer in charge Of
this subagency, has been investigating
the matter and has decided to send
Martin Branchaud and a detail of In
dian police to the scene of the atfray
to investigate the matter Thoroughly.
No detailed account of the fight can be
had, ass the only information yet re-
cciyed was brought in by an Indian
boy IL or II years Of age, who wit
messed the shooting.
Considerable excitement exists here
among the Indians, and DR.. Hart is
unwilling to express an opinion re-
garding the effect it may have upon
them. The Indians consider the inter-
ference Of their hunting privileges by
game wardens as a violation of their
treaty rights.

LEAPED TO DEATH.
An Appalling Double Tragedy at st.
Isl 800 = NsE%S Paul,

r. !,
st. Paul, Special-An appalling
double tragedy took place on the Smith
avenue bridge Saturday afternoon,
when Jacob Amos, a cigarmaker, and
Henry Bergenlreuger, also cigar
maker, hurled themselves, one after
the other, from the highest span Of the
bridge to the river below, distance
of over 200 feet. The desperate acts
: were witnessed by number of people
en- the bridge and, in the vicinity, and
appeared to have been deliberate and
planned, but no one was near enough
to the suicides to intercept them. Both
bodies shot into space with the rapid
lty of lightning, each man jumping far
out from the bridge and whirling over
and over with quickening momentum
gathered in the fall. Each struck the
water, with a sickening splash within
few seconds, and before the specta-
tors realized what had happened two
lives had been hurled into eternity
under most tragic circumstances.
Following the leaps to death the
scene of the suicides was one Of in
tense excitement. The tremendous
jump, the evident cool purpose and
desperate determination, together with
the rash, yet calm execution Of what
was doubtless an agreement between
the men to seek death together, horri-
fed the witnesses. Men ran to the
spot where the suicides had plunged to
the water and women grew faint with
dread. But all were helpless to rem
der any assistance after the fearful
leap.
The cause Of the deeds of self de-
struction is largely speculative, but
there is evidence to show that both
men had been drinking, and the gen.
eral version is that they bantered each
other into jumping from the bridge
while irresponsible from the effects of
liquor. A strict search for the bodies
was prosecuted by men in boats, but
up to late hour they had not been re-
covered.
