To Prepare Rice,

One cup of rice will make a good,
sized dishful when boiled-enough for
six people. Wash the rice first of all
in cold water. Shake it up thoroughly
with the hand, to be sure the water
reaches it thoroughly. Wash three
times in this way. Put the rice in the
boiler and add hot water to cover well.
The water should come AN inch or two
above the rice. If you desire that the
grains be separate when cooked put a
little salt into the water. If heavy is
desired omit this. Boil until soft.
Twenty minutes is an average time.
II the water boils away too rapidly
add little at intervals. When all the
grains are soft turn into a colander,
drain and shake. Replace in boiler and
set upon the side of the stove to steam
until required for use.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat

NEBRASKA FUSION PERFECTED.
Sullivan for Supreme Judge-DemO-
cratic Coup d'Efat.

LINCOLN, NEB., September 2.-As pre-
dcted at the start by the party leaders,
the three parties-Democratic, Populist,
and Silver Republicans-joined hands IN
fusion, and the ticket placed in the field
is: For Supreme Judge, John j. Sullivan
Democrat, of Columbus; for State Uni
versity Regents-E Won Forell, OF kear-
ney, Populist. and George Il. Remover
of Wisner, Silver Republican. Many dele
gates maintain that the fusion was per-
fect!y harmonious, while there are others
who claim that there may yet be dissen-
sion on the part of the Silver Republicans,
as about one-third of their delegates went
home before the nominations were made.
For awhile in the three conventions this
morning things looked rather precarious
for harmony as the Silver Republicans
had a very warm time, number or the
"Middle- of the Road delegates talking in
favor of the nomination OF straight
ticket In order TO preserve their organl-
zation. Finally, 1t was announced that
the Democrats and Silver Republicans
had agreed upon John j. Sullivan for
Supreme Judge, and signs or fusion De-
gan to appear. Even then 1t was not
until Judge Neville urged the endorse
ment of Mr.. Sullivan that the Populists
was finally reported, and the rest OF the
proceedings were Of short duration.
1t became very evident near the close
of the convention that neither Scott Ne
VILE nor Thompson could be nominated by
any two OF the conventions. and the
manoeuyre of the Democrats In subSti-
tuting Sullivan was considered coup
d'etat that cut short what might have
resulted in a long-drawn, knotty con-
vention, full of fight, and ultimately
separating the three parties so widely
that fusion would have been an unknown
condition for years to come. This Is the
opinion freely expressed on every hand.
There were fifteen counties unrepresent-
ed I'm the Populist convention. and about
the same number absent from the other
gatherings. The delegates began leaving
the city as soon as fusion became an
assured thing, and by evening there were
scarcely score at any one of the hotels.

What In Said OF the Proposed Re-
publican Convention.

Captain w. 8. Lurty, the prospective
candidate for the Republican nomination
for Governor, was still in the city yes
terday. In conversation with Dis
patch man Captain Lurty said he believed
tho prime result OF the proposed conven-
ton would be the coalition Of the two
forces. 1t was the intention of the party,
he said, to put into the field ticket of
representative men. Every one would
be made welcome. he added. who was op-
posed to the Chicago and Roanoke plat
forms, and the second place on the
ticket would probably be given to gold
Democrat or a Populist.
Colonel william f. Wickhlm Is promi-
nently mentioned for the attorney-gene-
ralship, and the name of Colonel HUB
bard. of BurkeviIle. Is also spoken OF In
this connection. The latter gentleman,
however. disclaims all pretensions to the
nomination.
IL the Waddil faction attends the con-
vention. the fight over the craftsmanship
OF the State Committee Will be long
and bitter one.
The followers of Colonel Lamb state
that while they do not regard his re-
election as Il lOrtBuHt CouClu~iohs thcy
believe TIE sentiment stirred UP by the
alleged bad treatment he has met with
at the hands OF his opponents viii go lar
towards reinstating him. His ability 10
direct the party affairs. they allege, has
been demonstrated. He says he was
Handicapped at the beginning of the last
presidential campaign by lack OF funds,
and he tied his own hands and those
Of his followers by pledging them to Mark
Hanna TO sink all differences until after
the election. otherwise no funds would
have been available in this section as
long as the split was so manifest.
The Waddill-B Brady faction seems to be
divided as to whether the convention
should be recognized or ignored. One OF
the most prominent members declared
yesterday that If a ticket was put into
the field he would support 1t. Others
take the stand that Lamb Is no longer
chairman, and that he and his followers
had no authority to call convention.
Colonel Brady said he was opposed TO
q convention. on the same hypothesis
that he objected to playing with loaded
dice. The Democratic machine, he said,
was so well oiled and so splendidiy man
ipulated that 1t precluded all possibility
OF a Republican victory.

The InternaI-Rcvenue nureau Appa-
rentIN Sustains II.

WASHINGTON, September 2.-Some OF
the deputies in the office Of Colonel James
ID. Brady. the Collector Of Internal Rove
nue. for the Richmond Wa) District, nave
protested to the Treasury Department be-
cause Colonel Brady did not reappoint
them, and have set up the claim that in
failing TO do so Colonel Brady violated
the civil-service regulations. At the In
ternal-Revenue Bureau 1t is pointed out
that by the law each collector is autho-
rlzed to appoint. under an instrument In
his own handwriting. as many deputies
as he may think proper. The deputies so
appointed must, If they are to continue
their tenure be reappointed by each sue
oeedlng collector. Under the exceptions
made by President McKinley's recent or
der. one deputy and one stamp deputy
are exempted from those who must be
anpointed under the civil-service reguia-
tions.
While each collector can exercise MS
discretion about reappointing his prede-
eessors deputies, If he does not choose
70 do SO. he must make his new appoint
ments with the exceptions noted, from
the eligible list. If there is no eligible
list he may. under the law, make tempo
,arv appointments for thirty days.

THE INDIFFERENCE OF LUETGERT
This Fact brought Out-Luetgert
Himself TO Testify.

CHICAGO, September 2.-The indif-
ference of Luetgert after his wife had
disappeared was the principal fact
brought out against him to-day. 1t was
proven by the testimony of Police-Cap-
tain Herman Schuettler that Luetgert
did not show any concern regarding his
wife. and never took the trouble to ask
the police whether they had found traces
of her or not. On one occasion ne called
at the police station TO protest against
an article in a daily paper saying that his
first wife had not died a natural death.
The police, at this time. were dragging
the river, poking into clay-holes. and
patrolling the Lake shore in the hope of
finding some trace of the missing woman.
hut Luetgert, after he had complained
of the paper. left the station without even
asking II the police had discovered any
thing.
When the police first became aware OF
the disappearance OF Mrs. Luetgret
through her brother. they asked Luet-
CERT what theory he had regarding her
disappearance, and he said that In his
opinion she had become insane and had
wandered away from home. He had not
reported her going away, either to the
police or to his neighbors, because, he
said, II was disgrace. and he did not
