DISCUSSES CONVICT LABOR.

In the many recent discussions of the
convict labor problem there is ten

NOT NEW FOR GRINNELL.

Editor Times Republican: Your Dies
Moines correspondent is in error in say
ing 1T (Mason City, will be the first
town in the west outside of large cities
where this plan of furnishing heat has
been given a good trial."
Every business house in Grinnell, in
Guiding the Congregational church and
now the high school, is heated by cen
trail plant. The heat is conducted in
pipes laid under the streets. Boilers in
easements, ashes, janitors, dust, dirt,
have long been thing of the past in
this town. Nothing could induce us to
go back to the old system. Messrs.
Carney & Hammond, owners of the
electric light works. put in the heating
plant seven years ago. and it has not
only been profitable to these enterpris-
ing men, but it has given universal sat-
isfaction and at less cost than the old
system. Our stores and offices are warm
night and day and Sundays, and all the
busy man has to do to get heat is to
turn it on. 1t has long been a matter of
wonder with me why other towns have
not adopted the system.

DEMANDS AN ISSUE.

AT Knoxville, on Wednesday, Gov
Shaw opened the republican campaign
with a speech before the Marion county
convention. For the first time in the
memory of many experienced politi-
clans there was presented the anomaly
of gubernatorial candidate demanding
an issue. Seldom does political can
didate go into his campaign without a
clear knowledge of what the issues are
but this seems to be The situation this
year. For an hour Gov. shaw talked to
that convention reviewing the history of
the Mckinley administration showing
that step by step his actions had been
endorsed by both democrats and repub-
licans and that up to this time nothing
had occurred to raise an issue.

They Are Finer Than Ever.

House-cleaning, in most homes, comes
but once year-in the spring it comes
twice year for the North-W estern Linn
tied Trains. Twice year both these ia
nous trains are run into the shops for
thorough overhauling and cleaning, and
such cleaning as they receive. Every bit
of woodwork, nickel and brass is rubbed
and polished, all the mattresses and springs
are made over, the upholstering is done
over, new paint and varnish, and many
skilled mechanics finally turn out two
brand new trains. In fact, the daily clean
ing these trains receive in Minneapolis and
Chicago is much more thorough than the
most tidy housewife gives her home.
These two famous trains of the North
Western Line have just received their an
nual housekeeping and are fresher, bright
er and finer than they ever were. They
run every night between Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Chicago-one going, one coming
and still are worthy the common and
well deserved opinion that they are the
most comfortable, elegant and easy ridin G
trains in the world.

Svveetbread in Cases.

A cooked sweetbread, two mush-
rooms, one-half ounce of butter, one
quarter ounce of -four, one yolk of egg,
pepper and salt, little lemon juice, one
gill of milk. If you have no ready
cooked sweetbread on hand, put a
sweetbread in a saucepan of cold water
on the fire; bring it to the boil, then
allow it to cook gently for about ten
minutes. If possible, allow it to get
cold before you wish to cut it up. Cut
it into neat dice. Put the mushroom
in saucepan, with little stock or
water, and simmer it for about ten
minutes. Then cut it off into neat
pieces. Melt the butter into a small
pan, stir in the flour smoothly. Add
the milk, and then stir over the fire
till it boils. Now add the pepper, salt,
lemon juice and beaten yolk of egg
Now add the sweetbread and mush-
rooms, and simmer gently for three
or four minutes to make it thoroughly
hot. Then put it either into china or
paper ramakin cases and serve at once.

The Conspicuous Pett;co,+

The most important feature of the
winter gown would seem to be the pet
ticoat. 1t is most conspicuous all
around beneath the popular tunic, or
the redingote, as both in color and ma
terial it is generally in sharp contrast
to the rest of the frock. Velvet petit
coats and those of fur are unusually
attractive, so are the ones of white
cloth striped in horizontal lines with
graduated bands of black velvet ribbon.
Plaid petticoats are very smart indeed,
especially if the plaid has white
ground, and white and light-colored
satin petticoats are no end swagger,
many being trimmed with shingles of
cloth sewn on with white stitchings.-

Latest Fad in Collars,

The dressing of a woman's neck has
assumed more Importance lately than
almost any other article of her attire,
and the smart modiste pays more at
tention to the cut, fit and style of the
collar than ever before in the annals
of dressmaking. The new collar is a
very complicated CONNECTION, and its
varieties of form, cut and style are
numberless. The main point, which
should never be lost sight of, is that
it must 'e very high in the back, while
in fron's it is low enough to be COM
Portable rest for the chin. Some of the
new collars have two high points rising
just Under the ears, while Others come
up in one high point in the middle of
the back of the neck. Then, again,
pretty full box plat of soft lace falls
over the military plainness in the back,
while a narrow ruche of the same lace
is turned over the collar in front.-N.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES
Some Small Bits of Information
Which May BE of Value to
the Cook.

"Cape Cod turkey" alias the more
plebeian Goldfish, proves one OF the best
constants" for a long journey. Sand
witches pail, cake dries and crumbles,
sweets of all sorts are cloying, meats
spoil after few days, but Maine or
Massachusetts cod, lightly sailed, holds
it's own, even if the journey extends
into weeks. An excellent appetizer and
relish, strip of the cod proves one OF
the best antidotes or remedies for either
sea or car sickness. A bit of the cod
broiled over the Goals is frequently &C
cepted by the capricious appetite OF
the invalid, when more elaborate dishes
fail to reach that variable right spot"
1t is still scarcely understood how
delicious and wholesome celery is when
cooked. After utilizing the heart and
tender stalks for relish or salad, the
tougher outer stalks will furnish de-
dinner. Cut in inch lengths and stew
gently in boiling sailed water for an
hour, or until perfectly tender. Pour
off the water and season with milk,
butter, salt and pepper to taste. Cooked
celery goes eXcellently well with chick
en- or veal.
Dried herrings, served la back
woods style, make tasteful relish for
luncheon or supper, especially if the
meal be taken al fresco. Lay the fish
on a tin plate and heat in the oven or
over the camp fire until well heated
through, when the dried skin peals off
as readily as kid glove.
The curious green particles that dis
tinguish the genuine Roquefort cheese
are merely the crumbled, coarse bread
of the French peasants, which is thrown
into the cheese. The cheese is then
carried to cellars hewn out of the solid
rock along the sides of the hills and
there stored until it attains it's pc
culiar flavor.
New rice is much inferior in quality
to old, and is liable to produce indi-
gestion and rheumatism. 1t should
not be eaten for at least six months
after it has been gathered. The seeds
are then dry and hard, and have the yell
lowish tinge, while new rice is perfectly
white.
Where peanuts are to be used in guam
THY for "peanut hunt" or for sailed
peanuts, it will be found much cheaper
to buy them raw in quantity and bake
them in the oven. This is but little
trouble and will be found much cheaper.
A very delicate way of preparing oys-
tiers is to put bit of butter in frying
pan. When hot put in the oysters salt
ed and peppered. Shake gently until
they begin to curl and serve on squares
of buttered toast.
To change the atmosphere in an in
valid's room pour some good cologne
into a soup plate and with lighted
match set fire to it. The cologne makes
a pretty flame and imparts a welcome
freshness to the air.
A new fancy in escalloped oysters
is to use grated cheese on top of the
oysters and but tered crumbs.
In making a hard pudding sauce add
the sugar gradually to the butter, and
it will cream more quickly.
In beating eggs for custard do not
beat too light or they will float on top
of the milk.-Washington Star.

Semon's Company.

Harry SemOn'S ExtravaganZa com
pany began a weeks engagement at
the Gaiety theater yesterday afternoon
and introduced some entertaining spe-
cialties before a large audience. A
prominent feature of the performance
was the comedy presented by the eel
ebrated clown, George II. Adams, and
his two daughters, assisted by A. H.
jenkins. The sketch called the "Coun-
try Terror" introduced many of the
tricks of pantomime as well as songs
and dances, and was a lively turn
throughout. Little Primrose and
Marty Semon gave some laughable ex-
hibitions in cake walking, and the
dancing of Nettie II.nman was also
well received.
Manager Van Osten, of the Gaiety,
Is ever on the watch to give the pa
irons of that popular theater the best
that is in the market is made evident
by the engagement of George Thatcher,
the famous minstrel formerly of
thatcher, Primrose & West minstrels,
to appear at the Gaiety theater begin
ming Thursday matinee in conjunction
with Semon's Extravaganza company.
George Thatcher has a world wide rep
utation as a monologue artist, and was
and is now the leader in that partic-
ular line of work. He is constantly
the feature of the vaudeville bills in
such houses as Keith's and Procter's
IN New York. Such engagements net
ting him far more than being part
ner or proprietor of a minstrel COM
pany' He is paid the highest salary
that is paid any minstrel performer.
This week happens to be one when he
was disengaged and Manager Van
osten today was just acquainted with
the fact and Immediately made ar
rangements for a half week and he
appears receiving the highest salary
ever paid a performer at the Gaiety
theater. There will be no increase of
prices for the Thatcher engagement
