MARKET co. PAYS RENT,

Sends Check TO City Auditor Pyle for the
Months of July, August and September.
The announcement was made, at the
meeting OF City Council, last evening,
that the City Market Co. had paid City
Auditor Pyle 1925, being rent for the
ground on which its building is located,
Tor the months of July, August and
September of this year.
The matter of back rental, amounting
to about $1,000, over which there is
controversy, has not been disposed of.
Some time ago the company refused to
pay the rent on the ground that it was
not liable for taxes, and those which
had been paid should be refunded.
The back rental was accordingly, with
held, and subsequently the matter of
settlement was left with City Solicitor
Conrad and the company's attorney,
Walter H. Hayes.
The matter has not been adjusted,
but it is understood an under standing
has been reached, eand members Of
Council are of the opinion that next
month the Levy Court will refund the
money which the company has paid in
taxes, as the ground upon which the
tax was paid is city property. This
tax Is almost equal to the rental, aud
should the Levy Court do this the
market company will settle with the
city, as it is perfectly willing to do
what it knows 10 be right in the matter.

SWEET PICKLES.


BY Louis Roie,
While Il may be trlfie early TO con-
template the usual pickle and relish
making for the family, the time has
come when those who regard highly
sweet pickles must be up and doing, The
sweet pickle is one of those contradict
tipns in the culinary department that
appeals particularly 70 the wives and
children of the household, but yet often
holds a place in the affections OF the
male sex.
This variety OF pickle may be made OF
any fruit that can be preserved, and
even Of the rinds Of ripe melons and
cucuinbers, and has therefore a much
wider range than the ordinary pickle.
in the preparation OF sweet pickles the
proportion of sugar to vinegar for the
syrup is three pints TO a quart, and you
will do well to adhere quite closely to
this general rule. and even then you
should examine the product frequently
and rescnld the syrup IL there is the
least sign of fermentation. In piclsltng
plums or other smooth skinned fruit the
only safe way is to well prick the skins
before cooking.
SWEET PICKLED BETS.

wise into appropriate size and pour over
a syrup made Of nearly equal parts OF
sugar and vinegar boiled together, with
half tablespoonful OF ground cloves
tied lin a cloth, to each gallon. Pour
over syrup when It is hot.
PICKI.ED RIPE CUCUMBERS.
Cut up ripe eucumbers into quarters,
take out the seeds and inside pulp and
lay In O. brine strong enough to float an
egg, nine days, stirring gently every day;
\ take out and put in clear cold water one
day; lay In alum water Ia lump of alum
as large as hickory nut In a gallon OF
water over night. make a syrup of one
pint of cider vinegar, one pound of brown
sugar, two tablespoonfuls each of broken
cinnamon bark, mace and pepper grains;
put in sliced cucumber; make another
syrup of three pints of sugar to quart
of vinegar, lay In that and cook until
tender.
PICKLED CuRRANTS.
Scald seven pounds of ripe currants in
three pounds Of sugar and one of vim
egar. remove the currants to the jar,
boil the. liquid for a few moments and
pour over the fruit. You may if you wish
add raisins, as many pounds as you
have of sugar, or you may make sweet
er by putting In less vinegar.
SPIcED GoOSEBERRIES.
Leave the stem and blossom on ripe
gooseberries. wash them clean; make
a syrup of three pints. of sugar to
one Of vinegar. skim II necessary: add
the berries; boil down until thick, put
ting in more sugar IL needed. and when
almost done spice with cinnamon and
cloves. The syrup should be quite thick.

gar and punches Of freshly picked ripe
grapes. then fill one-third full of good
strong vinegar, cover tight and set

INTERSTATE RIFLE CONTEST

test, which will take place from August
30th to September 9th. Teams, Of 10

General Hart would be very much
eratified II 1t were possible to have o
team from this State. He recalls that
when Benjamin 7. I3igRs was governor,
a Delaware team was. contestant in
the rifle matches in New Jersey. But
now there is question whether the
law that applies to the State militia
will permit the expenditure of money
for this purpose. 10 secure an opinion
on that subject, Gen. Hart has referred
the matter TO Colonel Andrew q. Gray,
judge advocate general of the staff.

DEMOCRATS IN CONTROL.

Through a Mistake of Republicans They
Have Majority of Registration Officers
IN Both Districts.
Through mistake on the part Of the
Regular Republicans, the Democratic
have majority Of the registration
officers in both of the districts in PEN
cader hundred.
The Democrats and Regulars sub
mitted lists Of eligibles to Gov. Tnn-
nelk from which to make the appoint-
ments. The governor desired to divide
the officers up, politically, MS nearly
even as he could, and in each hundred
would give each party majority Of
the officers in half the districts, where it
was possible to do so. #
Through some strange circumstance
the Regulars in one of the PeDcader
districts recommended a man who, it
afterward developed was a Democrat.
Relying upon the information given by
the Republicans, Gov. Tunnel np-
pointed him as Republican, ebut it
transpires that he is Democrat. It
is thought the Republicans thought he
was Republican, as the mistake could
hardly have occurred in any other way.

Laborcr's Annual Curious and Spake-liiSc
Performance.
Omaha, Neb., July IL. IS. 0. Bush
kirk, who works for +. w. Pierce, q
gardener, near Florence, sheds his skin
once every year. About the middle of
every june the epidermis on the palm
Of his hands and the soles of his feet
begins to loosen and harden, while the
scarfskin or cutice on tho remainder
of his body starts to faBe off like
dandruii from the head.
Within three weeks the old epidermis
has entirely disappeared and 10 its
pace is new skin, soft, pink and
tender.
Bushkiik has several times permitted
physicians to examine him, and was
gratified to learn that the, could make
nothing Of his case.
They found out what he already knew
that no sheds his skin once year.
and there their research ended.
Within the last week Bushkirk has
undergone the phenomena Of desquama-
ton, and as a result is taking an en- .
forced vacation.
In his room Bnshkirk has several
interesting souvenirs 10 the form of
patches of skin which be has shed
HON his hands aud feet at various
times during his career, and In every
instance these present perfect outlines
Of the members from which they came.
For example, the bark from the
palm Of the hand might easily he mis-
taken at first glance for one-balf of q
glove, as the fingers aud thumb are as
perfect reproductions of the digits as
Is possible in q iiat surface.
Moreover the thick, callous- ike skin
retains the mysterious lines Of the hand
OF which palmists make SO much. In
his connection there is in the Bush
kirk case q fact which tends TO dis
prose tho entire theory of palmistry,
being evidence that the lines change
with time and are not unalternbly pre-
served as has been supposed. Among
his gruesome keepsakes is a piece Of
skin taken from his right hand when
he was 10 years old.

CYCLONE AT MERMAID.

Wreck 1t,

...s wreck IL.
Mermaid in Mill Creek hundred had
a taste Of cyclone early Thursday
evening. On the farm owned by James
Henry Walker the wind blew down all
the shade trees in the lawn, or else tore
their tops off. Some Of the trees fell
against the house and caved in one
side thereof. Shingles were torn from
the barn roof and the road was almost
blocked with branches and limbs Of
trees.
A strange thing about it was that a
party of men seated on back porch
of the Walker house did not appreciate
that the storm was SO heavy and did
not know until later that it had
wrecked a part of the house.
About quarter Of mile from Wal
ker's large tree also felt the force OF
the storm.
