Fire and Explosion.

The story and half frame build
ing, located on Fourth street north
east. owned by John Lagesse and
occupied by D. Carlson, was destroyed
by fire Sunday night. The fire
broke out about 1880 O'Clock. Be-
ing out of the fire protection zone,
only chemicals could be used. The
fire had such a start that the build
ing could not be saved. Part of tho
household goods were taken out
Ms. Carlson had his goods insured,
but there Was no Insurance on the
house.
The engine OF chemical No. 2 ex-
ploded during the fire. N. 81. Elvig
was at the throttle, And. Foss had
hold OF the lever, and W. B. Jones
VAS near by. The top of the engine
went up in the air, and the acid was
scattered around. Mr.. Foss wac
knocked down but not much burned.
Mr.. Jones had his eyes slightly in
iured. Mr.. Elvjg got some bad
burns, his left eye in particular being
scorched. He will not lose his eve
sight. The explosion is attributed
partly to defective gauge. The en-
CINE has been in use many years.

be exhibited first in Norway and at

an assumed name.

The delegation of agricul-
turists called upon Senator
Taxemall and expressed a de-
sire for an audience.
why do you advocate a
continuance of the protective
tariff" inquired the chair
man.
"Ah. to prevent our manu-
facturers from being swamp
ed by the competition of for
eign manufacturers" replied
Senator Taxemall, swelling
with conscious pride.
''But what will happen to
American labor when our
home mills manufacture too
much for home consumption
THAT time will never come
because we are today enlarg-
ing our foreign markets and
underselling the foreign
manufacturer"
"Then are we to UNDER
stand that the protective tar
iff which prevents foreign
competition enables us TO
compete with foreigners?"
queried the puzzled agricul-
turist.
Yes, that is what 1 mean.
By preventing the COMPETE
ton of foreigners we are en-
abled to compete with foreign
ers because the competition.
of foreigners being prevented
foreign competition becomes,
that is to say, by enabling our
manufacturers to compete
with foreigners by preventing
foreign competition-or, as I
was about to say, by compet-
ing with foreigners our home
manufacturers are protected
against the foreign COMPETE
ton that completes with our
gentlemen, I have here al few
copies of my famous speech
on the irrigation question.
Take them home and read
them. AS you pass out notice
a box of cigars on the hall
tree. Come again, gentle
men," The delegation walked
thoughtfully away,
Whew! That was a mar
row escape, said Senator
Taxemall. "These farmers
are becoming too mighty in
quisitive. We've got to divert
their minds someway."- Ex.

HOW TO CARVE. A TURKEY.

-.r ident Of the Feast. ~

..s iAent Of the Feast.
~ USTOM has made it usual here.
abouts to eat turkey for our
~ Christmas dinner, and accord
ingly the festive bird, will
grace many a table. But it IS not" ey.
erybody who knows how to carve a
turkey, and the hints given here may
help many q bewildered man to so de-
mean himself that the ordeal may not
disgrace him in the eyes Of the wife of
his bosom, as we'll as of those guests
who may be present at his board.
Have the turkey resting upon, his
back. Put the two tined fork in about
an inch in front of the peak of the
breastbone, where it will sink into
hollow formed by the peculiar con-
formation of the breastbone. The bird
is then held firmly while the carving
is being done.
The first thing to do is to take off the
legs at the second joint. Cut down
alongside the leg and bear outward a
little, with the knife set well in.
The knife is inserted above the leg,
and after making an incision it is
pressed outward. The second joint
then parts easily from the body. Att
er both legs are removed in this man.
ner the wings should be cut off, the
knife being used on practically the
same principle as that employed in re-
moving the legs.
The next point for the skillful carver
Is to separate the ''drumstick," or first
joint, from the rest of the leg. This is
done by fixing the fork in the second
joint Of the turkey. Then an incision
is made at the joint, and the end of
the leg is then pressed down with the
knife.
The breast Of white meat is now at
tackled. The fork is again placed over
the breastbone in the original position,
and slices are removed from the breast.
The slicing should commence near the
peak of the breastbone, the cuts being
taken thinly, the knife held horizontal
ly and the cuts extending downward
toward the wings. After the meat has
been taken from both sides of the tur-
keys breast in this fashion the knife
is inserted transversely behind the lit
tie projection on the breast between
the peak and the neck. This is formed
by the "'wishbone, or ''merry thought"
The knife slips easily between this and
the breastbone, so that the "wishbone"
is easily removed, carrying with it a
liberal portion of white meat. The re-
moval Of the "wishbone" makes con
venient opening into the interior Of the
turkey, through which a spoon may be
inserted for the removal of the tasty
dressing.
Nothing now remains but the car
cass of the turkey, and the only task is
to disjoint it. This is done by first re-
moving the breastbone. By means of
the fork the peak of the bone is raised
and swung over toward the neck, dis
jointing it near the base of the latter.
The neck, if desired, can be removed,
leaving only one more portion of the
bird to be dealt with. This is the back
bone.
The backbone is broken about three
Inches above the tail, and there you
are. The dismemberment of your tur-
key is now complete.

MRS. BONINE'S TRIAL.
A Private Confession Of Her Part In the
Death OF James Ayres Said to
Have Been Made.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The fact was
brought out yesterday in the trial OF
Mrs. Lola Ida BONNIE for the killing
of James Seymour Ayres, Jr., that she
had made private confession of her
part in the tragedy on the evening
after the homicide, several days be-
fore she took the police officials into
her confidence. This recital was
made to Mr.. George B. Gardner, an
attorney employed in the law division
of the interior department, who was
boarder at the Kenmore hotel and
usually sat at the same table at
which Mrs. Ronine took her meals
Mr.. Gardner was on the witness stand
yesterday and told his story for the
first time. He said that Mrs. Bonine
had sought him out and asked his
advice as to whether she should make
Il public statement, and that he had
suggested to her that she should de-
lay her confession until the theory
Of suicide, which was first enter
tanned, should be fully exploited. A
number of other witnesses testified
that Mrs. BONNIE had visited them
when sick,

Charlottesville, Ind, Nov. 29.--Gen.
Wallace and Capt. George R. Brown
returned yesterday from the Shiloh
battlefield, where they accompanied
the national and state commissions
for the purpose of locating the posi-
tions Of the Indiana troops and Gen.
Wallace's command at the time OF
the battle. Gen. Wallace said: "The
commission cannot be too highly
praised for the great work it is do
ing there. The Corinth, Purdy, Ham
burg and Savannah roads have been
converted from mud trails into mag
nificent pixies. The lands have been
drained, the gullies repaired against
washing and much of the underbrush
cut out. The Illinois monuments are
already up, showing the positions oc-
cupied by the Illinois regiments and
batteries in both days of the fights.
The monuments for the Indiana,
Ohio, Iowa and Pennsylvania posi-
tions will soon be placed. The Hor-
nets Nest is left. There will always
be the old sunken road, where the
men of PrentSs first STONED the
rcDel' advance, the command OF Rug
giles being four times repulsed there.
Col. Shaw, the hero of this fight, is
dying at his home at Anamosa, la.
"The real scene of the spectacular
death of Albert Sidney Johnston is
being marked by a fine monument.
Ohio, Iowa and Pennsylvania are ar
ranging to not only put up position
monuments, but also splendid state
monuments, The federal government
is marking the positions occupied by
the confederate commanders with
iron tablets.
80 far, am sorry to say, there has
been no marking of the confederate
burial pits, but the commission has
expressed determination to carefully
mark and preserve these. Some day,
doubtless the government will raise
these bones and give them Christian
burial in one great cemetery. OF
course it would be impossible to mark
the graves with the proper names of
the dead who repose in them, as the
confederate soldiers were of neces;
sity piled in the trenches like cord
wood after the battle, no one being
there to identify them. In the fed
eral cemetery even there are 5000
nameless graves.
"rhe positions of my command were
finally determined during my visit
there, the commission being in doubt
only as to one or two matters OF
minor Importance.

A POSTAL REPORT.
The Free Delivery Service Becom.
ing Self-Supporting.
POSTAL SERVICE in CITIES PERFECT


Washington, Nov. 27.-First Assist
ant Postmaster General johnson in
his annual report says the yearly in
crease in the postal revenues has re-
suited in the free delivery service be-
coming self-sustaining. OF the gross
postal revenues of the United States
for the past fiscal year $74,295,394
came from S66 free delivery cities.
The remaining 5000 presidential post
offices yielded $16,O63,252, while the
72,479 fourth class post offices pro-
duced $1S,913,519. Mr.. johnson says
the fact that the postal service in the
largest cities is practically perfect
is the explanation Of why the annual
percentage of increases in the reve-
nues of the free delivery post offices
should be three times as large as that
of the fourth class Offices. As rural
free delivery reaches out into the
country, giving equal facilities with
out regard to locality, he says it in
creases the revenues at q rate at
least equal to that maintained in the
free delivery cities, where during the
past five years it has averaged eight
per cent. At the end of the present
fiscal year 5000 rural routes will be
in successful operation, 5000 being in
effect by December 2. The latter
figure represents just so per cent.
of the applications for such service
filed since its Inauguration five years
ago. Every establishment of route,
the report says, is followed promptly
by steady increase in the volume of
mail both delivered and collected.
The city free delivery service now
embraces S66 cities and towns, in
GLIDING four in the new insular pos
sessions all these employing an army
of 16,3S9 uniformed carriers who col
lect and carry the mails two or more
times each working day to $4,000, 900
patrons. The total cost per annum
to the department for this service is
50 cents per capita. The gross re-
ceipts of the free delivery post Offices
were $14,295,395, an increase of over
II per cent. for the year. The total
estimate for the next fiscal year for
this city free delivery service is $ls,-
745,450.
The average daily sales of money
orders in the United States, fees in
cluded, are S913,Sll. The aggregate
amount of money orders issued was
S29i,6lS,GSi, an increase of $4,000
Geo for the year.
Among the recommendation are:
A reduction of money order fees, as
to make the maximum 25 cents, in
stead of 80 cents; Redistribution of
clerks mt first and second class post
offices; an appropriation of $20,OOO,-
600 for postmasters' salaries; the APP
pontment of fourth assistant SUI
perintendent ofcity deliveryservice to
have charge of the southern field,
and that at all larger post Offices
a supervisor of carriers be ap-
pointed to have exclusive charge of
the force of letter carriers
