A Nice Curry.

A simple way of preparing East In
dian curry is to try out large slice
of fat, salt pork, and add to the fat a
pint of boiling water. Stir in smooth
ly two tablespoonfuls of flour, one
teaspoonful of curry powder, and a
little salt. Let it bail up once, and
add the meat already cooked and cut
into small pieces-chicken or pork are
best. Cover and let stand on the
back of the range to simmer short
time. Have rice nicely cooked, white
and dry, arrange on the dish, pour the
curry in the centre, and serve very

No matter how claborately a waist

is invariably modelled with n tight

Matter Discussed by Merchants and
NInnufncturers' Assoc atiOn.

The reception committee of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association met
yesterday morning at the office of E. w.
Hart and organized by electing A. L. Elwell
chairman. An executive subcommittee con-
sisting of A. T Elwell, B. NJ. Sargent, j. F.
Wilcox and j. E. Smith was appointed.
1t was decided to hold a general meeting
of the association with banquet at the
Grand on the night of Thursday. May %,
instead of at the regular meeting in June.
Tue banquet will be served an hour earlier
than on the former occasion.
The matter of extending an invitation to
Admiral Schley and party to visit Councii
Bluffs during his stay in Omaha was taken
up, and the general opinion was that such
an invitation should more properly come
from the mayor and city council, and a
resolution asking Mayor jennings to act in
the matter was adopted. The committee II,
notifying the mayor of the resolution as
sured him that the association in general
and the reception committee in particular
would be most willing to assist in making
all tho proper and necessary arrangements
for the reception Of the admiral and his
party if the invitation should be accepted.
AS the city council will not meet in regu-
lar session before next Monday night Mayor
Jennings stated yesterday that he would in
all probability call that body together at
an earlier date so that the matter might
be tak<n up and formal invitation sent to
Admiral Schley The veterans of the Grand
Army of the Republic are moving in the
matter and are most anxious that an invita-
tion should be extended to the hero of San.
tiago to visit Council Bluffs, even but for
a few hours so that they may have the
opportunity of seeing him and shaking his
hand. Should Admiral Schley accept re-
ception will be rendered him at the Crane
hotel or in one of the large public halls.
Manager Dimmock of the motor company
will place one Of the finest large motor cars
at the disposal Of the party to convey IL
from and to Omaha. The Omaha High
school cadets will be called upon to form an
escort, and it is intended that the recep-
tion shall be general one.

JOHNSON COMEDIES A POINT
Main Stumbling Block in the Way Of
Sale of street Railways
Removed.

DETROIT, Mich, May 1G.-Tom L. John
son, as representative of the street railway
companies, has conceded one of the main
points of difference which have been block
ing the purchase of the roads by the city.
The city's commissioners refused to execute
any security franchise to insure payment OF
the purchase price unless that instrument
provides for present rates of fare on Scent
as we'll as 5-cent lines. This concession has
now been made. The most important ques-
tion remaining at issue is whether the pro-
posed thirty-year security franchise shall
run from the date of sale or from expiration
of the present franchises, averaging about
sixteen years hence
The commissioners assert that they will
agree to no franchise extending longer than
thirty years from date of the transfer. 1t is
understood that the two sides can agree on
a price of between $l6,00O,00O and $4,000, ,OOO
in thirty-year bonds, or about $4,000 OOO
cash, if the commission can itself float the
bonds.

Bogert, formerly postmaster of this place
who was arrested and suspended from office
three months ago charged with tamperine
With the mails, was arrested again today
this time on the charge of embe2zlng money
belonging to the government lie was held
in 81 500 bar by United States Commissioner
Hahn. 1t is said that shortly after his ar
rest the first time BOgert deposited in local
bank the sum of $500 in order to straighten
his account with the government. The
authorities assert that at the time of his
arrest he owed the government this amount
and the fact that he paid it back subsequent
to his arrest on the first charge did not
obvlate his liability to arrest on the charge
of embezzlement. The affidavit was sworn
to by Postoffice Inspectors Gregory, Fisher
and Leadley.
