COOKING VEGETABLES.
The Way to Make Them Tender,
Green and Savory.

Green and SuvOry.
II Is very much easier to cook vegetables
right than wrong-the trouble Is. most
cooks ignore the fine points of the process.
One is never to cook a wilted thing, IL it
is In any manner possible to revive it.
Whether things come from the home gar
den or the market, they are the better
for standing in fresh cold water until
they are crisply plump. Wilted tissues al
ways cook tough and stringy. to say moth
ing OF lacking one-half the proper fa-
Vor.
Another thing worth knowing Is the diff
ference IL makes TO have the water boil
ing briskly when the green stuff goes into
it, Still another Is the importance OF
Swimming. No matter how carefully things
have been prepared, in boiling they will
throw off waste and effete particles, which
rise as froth, and unless removed in time
either cake upon the edges of the stew
pan or encrust what Is cooking within
it, The skimming needs to be done within
the first ten minutes after putting things
over the fire. DO not put on lids unless
there is extreme need of haste. The APP
plies even to Irish potatoes, which are,
however. very much better steamed than
boiled
Caulifower Three Ways--Trim carefully
and soak at least an hour. Take out of
the cod water, plunge up ard down in
scalding water then drop into briskly
boiling water, and keep it boiling hard for
twenty minutes. Take out the caulinower
cut the heads into quarters or eighths, ar
range the pieces neatly In a very hol
deep dish. then pour over them a cup of
rich melted butter, made thus: Work a
scant spoonful of sifted flour into heap

OF cayenne. a coed sprinkle of black pep
per, and half a cup Of the water the cau-
ihower was boiled in. Stir smooth and dip
by spoonfuls over the caulhower, pop the
dish into a hot oven for about two minutes
then take out. sprinkle thick'y with grated
cheese. and serve AT once. Those who like
toast with almost everything can vary this
by putting lining of toast Ia the dish.
In that case IL Is better TO add the cheese
before setting in the oven, and to leave the
vegetables there until the cheese browns
slightly.
Second Way--Boll for twenty-five min
utes then cut up. and lay closely IN a
very deep covered dish, made very hot

swarms of large winged insects, variously
described as dragon flies, locusts and
"demoiselles." In Brussels boys collected in

MITCHELL. S. D., Dec. S.-The bust
ness men of Mitchell who contributed of
their money towards the corn palace
enterprise last fall, are now getting some
of their money back. 1t was agreed
among the subscribers that at the close
Of the palace and when the bills had all
been paid, that the balance on hand, if
there was any, should be rebated. Treas
urer Davidson finished paying the bills
yesterday, and today announced there
was a balance on hand of $42S.50, which
would net a dividend of Ii per cent,
and this he paid over to the subscribers:
This does not include the amount of
money on hand from the corn palace
of 1898, which was about $780, Aside from
the amount that was rebated, the corn
palace committee owns the building in
which the corn palace was held The
building will be left standing for another
year. and it is possible that another
corn palace. or something on that line,
will be held.
The executive committee also awarded
the prizes to the railroad agents in the
state who sold the largest number of
tickets to Mitchell on account of the
corn palace. The first prize of $15 was
awarded to Thomas Bray, of Planking-

Il IS HARD ON ST. LOUIS
FORFEITED TAX SALE
LAW
IS A REVERSAL OF PRECEDENT
The Court Having Heretofore Held
That Il Law General in Its
Terms Lies without
the Prohibition

DULUTH Mimi, Dec. S.-The decision
of Justice Collins. of the supreme court,
in the matter of the forfeited tax law
of 1887. in which. he declares the law un-
constitutional, is of very great interest
to this county, and of little Importance
elsewhere in the state.
The law was framed to cover st. Louis
county, and was for the purpose of clean
ing up the immense volume of delin-
Quent taxes that had accumulated
throughout the county since the boom
period of the early nineties. General
in terms, the law was specific in applica-
ton, and it was this fact that led Judge
Collins to declare 1t void.
The supreme court has, in this instance,
practically reversed frequent decisions in
which it has held that other laws gen.
eral in terms, but intended by some lin
1tation of the act to cover special cases,
We're good laws. In this instance the
limita atiOn was less of specific and local
matters than in many the court has up
held.
Under the law very large sale Of de-
Hnquent property was held here last
year The back taxes were practically
cleared up. The attitude of investors was
strengthened by what was called the
Window law passed at the last session
of the legislature, which made it oblisa-
tory on the county to return to BUYERS
their principal and per cent interest in
case the law should be declared invalid
There had been some question whether
or not there would be return of a cent
of purchase money if the law should be
thrown overheard by the courts Most
OF the buyers under the law were the
original owners of the property. though

PEAVEY ELEVATOR BREAK.
The Concrete Had Not Been Given
Time to Harden.


DULUTH. Mimi. Dec S-The break
in the new Peavey concrete elevator mere,
that occurred after the first bin had been
filled last night, is a very serious matter
and will prove very expensive. The bin
chosen Cor filing as a test of the house
was one of the concave-sided bins formed
by four segments of the circular bins
each segment connected by short, straight
walls. All the circular bins are rein
forced by steel tie-bands placed hori-
four bands forming circle They a1e
bolted. 1t will be seen that the bin Sc
Iected for the test was weaker than the
circular form. and if by inadvertence
any bolts had. been left out of the tie
bands they would not resist the pres
sure. It is not considered that the break
signifies anything against the system Of
construction, nor against the concrete
elevator, but it is believed to be the re-
suit of faulty construction or material
There is now hole sixty feet nigh and
nearly as wide in the side Of the house
and the cracks extend to the adjoining
bins. 1t is believed that the test was
made too soon to permit the material to
attain sufficient strength.

judge states that, as it appears from
the testimony taken in the case that
smallpox is epidemic in this locality. the
board may take precautionary measures
to prevent it's spread in the schools Vac
cination is not compulsory. of course,
but no child may attend school who has
not been successfully operated upon. It

CALLAHAN TRIAL ENDED.

LISBON, N. D. Dec. S.-(Special AFTER
a trial of intense interest lasting five DAYS,
the jury in the case of Patrick H. Gala
han, charged with murder in the first de-
gree for shooting his cousin, Edward ].
Callahan, at Enderlin last October, after
being out five hours; returned late last
night a verdict of not guilty.
Undue intimacy of the deceased with
the defendants wife for a long time, 1T is
claimed unsettled the prisoners mind.
Medical expert testimony convinced the
jury, which on the first ballot stood elev
en- to enc in favor of acquittal.
1t was never intended in this republic,
argued defendants counsel that a man
should be punished who in the might of
his wrath struck down the destroyer OF
his home.
