cellent. The method of preparation is
simple and inexpensive. The potatoes are
slowly stewed until soft. They are mash
ed thoroughly, and an equal quantity Of
corn meal is added 1t is mixed into
thick paste, with a small quantity of salt.
The paste is then divided into 4-pound
loaves and allowed to bake till thoroughly
done. In the slow country ovens it gener-
ally takes from fifteen to eighteen hours.
When cold they are fed to the horses and
cattle doing heavy work, at the rate of
four loaves day, viz, one in the morning,
one at noon, one about / clock, and one
at night. With the last about 10 pounds
OF poor hay are given. 1t is claimed for
this method that horses can do much more
work on the same amount of food and that
it is good for their teeth.

AGUINALDO LOCATED.
The Rebel Leader Has Removed His
Capital to BOambang.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The War De-
partment definitely located Aguinaldo to-
day as on his way to the town of Boam-
bang. about seventy-five miles northeast of
Tarlac. The recent calculations have been
that the insurgent leader was at the town
of Bayambang, not far from Tarlac, In
which case the several forces under Gen.
erals Macarthur, Lawton, Young and
Wheaton would have had him practically
surrounded. There has been some doubt,
however, as to the name Bayambang, and
to-day this was cleared up by definite in
formation fixing Boambang instead of Bay
ambang as the place of Agunaldo's refuge.
A dispatch from General Otis mentioned
Boambang and at the same time reliable
information came through diplomatic cham
nels that Lieutenant Gilmore and the other
American prisoners were at Boambang, in
the mountains, far to the northeast of Tar
lac.
1t is expected that the insurgent capital
now will be shifted to Boambang, and the
efforts of the American military forces will
be directed towards that point 1t is in the
mountainous country in the north and APP
parently out of the fertile and populous re-
gions where Aguinaldo thus far has con-
Quoted his operations. 1t Is said to be ac-
cessible from the south by only one route,
along river which is branch of the Rio
Grande. This leaves the rebel leader little
or no opportunity of communicating with
the coast or getting in supplies. He has
also left the railroad behind. 1t is said at
the War Department that the columns of
| General Young and General Wheaton will
push on to the north, following up the in
surgent leader and his scattered bands

HARD MONEY FOR CUBA.
Scheme to Mint silver and Copper
COins-Price of Meat High.

HAVANA, Nov. 9.-Fernando Capote.
mayor of Cardenas, has submitted to Gov
ernor General Brooke scheme to coin Gu
ban silver and copper into currency stamped
with the heads of the initiators of the revo-
luton.
The local papers are again exercised about
the price of meat. Last month they say
5000 head of cattle were imported, but
there is no reduction in prices. Many of
the poor, they point out, cannot buy meat
at all owing to the high figures, as a good
deal of the meat is sold at 40 cents pound,
whereas all kinds could be sold at 10 cents
a pound. Mayor Lacoste says the trouble
is due to the fact that as the heavy
tax imposed by the Spanish government on
beef was removed the importers made
ring raising the price of live stock and thus
actually raising the price of beef In his
opinion, unless the municipality is prepared
to supply the butchers with beef, there is
no possible remedy. The complaint of high
prices il general throughout the greater
part of the island. A large cattle importer
asserts that the. average price of live stock
in Havana is about so per 100 pounds, and
that the price of cattle has r-Sen in Mexico,
Colombia and other countries from which
cattle are imported. This dealer does not
consider the retail Free too high.

make its police more of military body,

Republican Candidate for Lieutenant
Governcr Barely Elected.

COLUMBUS. o., Nov. ga furry was
created in political circles to-day by the
claims OF the Democratic state committee
that Patrick. Dem, had been elected lieuten-
ant governor over Caldwell, Rep. The re-
turns showed that Caldwell had been cut
heavily as the result OF the fight made
against him by the Anti-saloon League, but
the Republican committee had not given the
matter any serious consideration. To-day.
however. county chairmen were asked for
the vote on lieutenant governor. Tonight
returns had been received from seventy
counties. which gave Caldwell plurality of
S.27s. The remaining eighteen counties gave
Nash plurality of 12.l66, and as they are
all strongly Republican, Chairman Dick
claims the election OF Caldwell with the
greatest confidence. 1t is claimed Caldwell 5
plurality over Pa trick will not be less than
5000 Revised figures on the head of the
ticket show that Nash's plurality is 50,7l2.
No figures have Deen made OH the total
vote in the State by either committee, and
the result will not be known until the Off
cial count Is made by the secretary of state.
The Jones vote, according TO estimates
given out at both Republican and Demo-
cratic headquarters, Will be 100000. Returns
from Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and other

that it is American. Other writer's claim
that it originated in Asia, whence it was
brought into America by the Spanish ex-
plorers. There is nothing 80 far discovered
in the records of ruins of Egypt to indicate
that the early jewellers along the Nile ever
knew of the grain. In an ancient Chinese

Sun and Moon, gave maize TO man. The
Ir3aHois Is. say that corn was given by the
gends of the Moqui Indians tells of six bach
elors. Red Corn, Blue Corn, Yellow Corn,
Green Corn, Spotted Corn and Black Corn.
1t is not alone with the Indians that myth
and legend endure To-day farmers of New
England, and, in fact, in the newer West,
have their manifold signs for the planting
of corn. Go through the agricultural re-
gions and you will hear them talk of plant
ing lin the full of the moon,' and the like.
Among the German settlers, in certain To-
caiities, il is believed that in selecting seed
corn for the next years crop all the stalks
and refuse must be taken into the highways
and instantly destroyed, but not by burn
ing. as that would insure the presence of

Thirty-one planters were used 10 put the
