ILLINOIS PUMPKINS,
Treated by Process That Renders
Them Superior to the Canned
Article.

A new use has been found for the
pumpkin, which promises to be an
innovation in southern Illinois. An
apple evaporation at Noble is being
used for the drying of pumpkins. and
the product finds ready sale on the
market, says a Flora Qll.) CORE
spondent of the ST. Louis Republic
The pumpkins are cut into long
strips, and dried very much in the
same manner as apples. These evap-
DRAFTED strips are then pressed into
cakes, which are ready for the mar
ket. This dried pumpkin has been
tested by bakeries and hotels in the
cities, and is pronounced superior to
the canned article. It is claimed that
80 per cent. of the pumpkin can be
evaporated.
In this section of Illinois the pump
kin grows to an enormous size. A
specimen weighing 20 pounds was on
exhibition in this city few days ago.
The growers are receiving three
dollars per ton for the fruit, and
many farmers have grown a ton to
the acre In their corn fields this sea-
son, despite the unprecedented
drought.

Ann Odelia Diss de Bar
A MODERN FEMALE CAGLIOSTRO


She has been enabled to drive fine
horses and live sumptuously. In court
she boosted that she had realized $780,
600 per year by her performances in oc-
cultisIn. She served term on Black
wells island on minor charge, also in
an Illinois penitentiary for obtaining
money on fraudulent checks.
In Chicago, is Vera Ava, she married
an old man nSmed Smith, from whom
she obtained large sums and then a d.
vorce. About this time, it is said, she
was DESTROYS of obtaining admission
to Prophet Teed's Chicago community,
but it is proba BILE that the prospect of
material gain was so small that she
gave up the project, Koresh having a
well-established reputation for tight
grasp on any dollars which happened
to fall within the grasp of his fingers.
Before meeting Mr. Marsh, Diss de Bar
had a period of dissipation in New
York. Drinking and cigarette smok-
ing landed her in Bellevue hospital,
where she attempted to Kill physician
and stabbed an attendant. After
spending a season in Wards Island in

Italian, who soon died 1t would be
hard to keep track of the matrimonial
adventures of this enterprising per-
sonage. After the Marsh>episode her
vanity led her on to the comic opera
stage, where she is said to have worn
the largest tights ever manufactured.
The roars and laughter of the audience
caused her to retire in tears. And yet
"a refined, educated young man, who
met her soon after, refers to her a
beautiful, grand woman with noble
characteristics, of the finest nature
and great capacity for good. Another
says that she is one of the coarsest. fat

and bright red hair. She had proba bly,

The Best He Could Do.

There was a clergyman Tin Tangipahoe,
La, let US say) who was much annoyed by
the misohievous boy of neighbor. He rea-
soned with the brat, but with no effect. He
laid the case before the boys parents and
they showed him the door. One day he told
his brother-a rough and vigorous man of
worldly habits-all about this persecution.
The brother bolted out of the door and
presently returned with the cheering word
that the boy would make no further trou-

All of these fruits grow wild. Then
