that month, and the highest on record
since March 1875, when it amounted
to a. 81 inches. In 1880 the month of

AHISTORICAL
LETTER FOUND
UNEARTHED BY DIRECTOR
ROWLAND.
DAMAGE DONE BY FLOODS
Farming Interests Did Not Suffer
to So Great an Extent as
First Supposed.


Rowland, of the Mississippi depart
ment of archives ana history, has just
unearthed some very valuable letters
written by Judge Harry Toulmin, the
first Federal Judge of the Mississippi
territory, just prior to the outbreak OF
the Creek war, and in which he
graphically describes the imminent
dangers to which the pioneers were
being subjected The letters were ad-
dressed to Governor David Holmes,
and it was during this war that Gen.
Andrew Jackson made his first fame as
an Indian fighter and the Greek nation
was almost wiped out Of existence.
Enclosed with the letters was a
communication from Gen. Wilkinson,
noted figure Of the pioneer days, in
Mississippi, who was accused of being
q participant in the Aaron Burr con-
spiracy.
Judg Toulmin was an Englishman
by birth, having been born in Trenton
in ITO, and was compelled to leave
his native laind in 1898, having in
CURED the displeasure Of King George.
He first settled in Virginia, later
moved to Lexington, Kentucky to ac-
oept the presidency of college, and
was chosen as secretary of state under
Gov. Garrard's administration. He
was appointed Federal judge by Presi-
dent Jefferson and held the place for
many years, achieving considerable
fame as jurist, lawyer, preacher,
poet and scientist. He wrote the first
digest of the laws Of the Mississippi
Territory.
jackson, Miss, April 5.-Careful
investigation of the damage to farm
ing interests caused by the recent
floods shows that it has not been as
widespread or general as was first be-
lieved. The replanting of corn has
already actively commenced, and this
work must necessarily be quite extern
sive, but as very little cotton had
been planted the farmers will not
suffer so heavily as would have been
the case had the food season come
two weeks later. The strawberry crop
damage is fully as severe as was first
reported, but other fruits have ont
been injured and full crop will be
raised. The truck and vegetable
farmers have suffered heavily, both
in the actual destruction of crops in
time to reap advantage as well as delay
of the fancy prices.
Jackson, Miss, April 5.-The Mis-
sissippi Bureau appointed to arrange
for display at the st. Louis Expnsi-
tion next year, and composed of Gov
ernor Longino as chairman and
Messrs. Quin, Still, Burkitt, and
Enochs, and r. H. Eenry as state
commissioner, has adjourned to meet
in st. Louis on the 18th of May to
confer with the management of the
exposition, regarding the display to
be made. The general SCOPE of the ex-
hibit has been mapped out roughly,
and an honorary county commissioner,
together with commissioner for each
supervisor district in every county in
the state will be appointed by the
Governor to collect exhibits and ar
ouse interest in the work. The Gov
ernor is also authorized to appoint
negro commissioners who will arrange
for separate display of negro indus
tries.

Rosebud County News, Thursday, June 10, 1902.

Gle about every southwestern town and
camp. Even where he can profitably
and easily produce his own food, the
southwesterner seems to prefer to
raise some exclusive crop, sell his
product. and buy canned goods. It is
easy enough to discover that the cat
tie rancher, though thousand cows
come up to water at his tanks every
day or two, will yet serve condensed
milk from cans that come from New
Jersey, that his beef bears the mark
OF Kansas City. that even his poultry
and eggs are imported at enormous
prices from Kansas. His butter also
comes canned. If it were not for the
patient Chinese gardener, even the best
irrigated valleys would be without
fresh vegetables. But if the south
westerner fails in garden-making, he
does delight in flowers, vines, and
shade trees. They relieve the monot-
ony Of the gray desert, and link him
with his old green home in the east.
He will let his fields go thirsty in time
of drought before he will allow the
rose-bushes and the pepper-trees in his
front yard to suffer. Indeed. so indus
trious has he been in surrounding him
self with shade and verdure that he
is open to criticism for OVERRIDING the
matter, overcrowding his small
grounds. An irrigated valley town in
blossom is marvel long to be remem-
bered.

THE KITCHEN OF TODAY.
1t IL a Great Improvement Upon thu
One in Which Our Grand
mothers Worked.

The modern kitchen is ideal when
compared with the oldfashioned
kitchen in which our grandmothers
were compelled to do their work, says
the New York Tribune The kitchen
floor of to-day is usually of hard
wood. The boards are about three
inches wide by an inch thick, though
they vary in different kitchens. This
floor when first laid is generally
rubbed with as much raw oil as the
wood will hold. After this thorough
treatment it will not be necessary to-
oil the floor oftener than once in
three months. For the second APP
plication boiled oil is better, as it
dries much more quickly.
There is generally plenty of sun
shine and light in a modern kitchen.
The modern sink is made of galvan-
lied iron or steel. Porcelain sinks
are said not to wear well if given
hard usage. The best kitchen faucets
are now plated with nickel. The old
fashioned brass faucet, which is re-
Quired to be laboriously cleaned and
secured, is no longer used. Galvan-
lied boilers are now generally. paint
ed like the woodwork of the room
Unless they are treated in this way,
they are easily discOlOred. The cost
ly oldfashionrd brass boiler, which
required cleaning every week, is rare
! ~ found in kitchens.
Some of the best ranges are still
blackened, but many in use are made
of polished iron. All modern ranges
have ground edges that do not need
to be blackened with brick dust, like
a ground knife.
In the modern range the processes
of roasting and broiling are carried
on almost to perfection. The meat
is no longer baked in the best ovens
to-day, but is roasted by a current of
fresh air supplied to the oven. Such
ventilated ovens cook the meat in ex-
actly the same way that meat was
roasted in the Oldfashioned fire
place. There is considerable loss of
| flavor and substance in meat that
| is baked, and this is easily perceived
by weighing a piece of roasted and
piece Of baked meat. In baking the
| juices of the meat are dried up and
| permanently lost. In roasting Il coat
| ing is formed on the outside Of the
| meat, and the juices are sealed up
| without any loss of food value. The
difference between properly roast
| ed piece of meat and that which has
! been baked in an ordinary oven is
| the same as exists between II piece of
| broiled steak and that which has been
simply fried in "A hot pan. The meat
of the twentieth century will be
roasted or broiled-never baked
much less fried or ''panned."
One OF the problems of the TWEEN
tieth century will be to secure Il
range that will give a roasted or
broiled meat with the least loss of
heating facilities, and consequent
waste of fuel. In some ways it seems
as though modern ranges were per-
feet, yet even the best of them are
somewhat inferior to the old-fash-
Toned fireplace, with it's spit, on
which meat was roasted to perfec-
ton in a continual current of air, or
broiled-a process which is substan-
italy the same in effect as roast
ing.

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Little Fancie~ of Dress for the AdOrn-
ment Of Milady's Latest
Costume.

Many of the new silk blouses are
relieved with narrow bands Of black
and white pin-striped silk and lace.
The newes, buckles resemble a bat,
oxidized. silver or gilt, with wings
outspread. The velvet or satin rib
bon is passed through and across the
center of the body, says the Brooklyn
Eagle.
"A velvet ribbon, or one of soft
satin, drawn through the bat buckle
and tied in a short, outspreading bow
at the back, represents one of the
latest fancies for blouse waist fin
ishes.
Many of the handsomest of the sea-
sons gowns in etamine and canvas
are artistically trimmed with an
tique Japanese embroidery, which
forms collar, revers and cuffs.
For the convenience and comfort of
the fair automobilist some genius has
invented n voluminous veil of mica.
which Is perfectly transparent, and
absolutely dust and air proof. The
veil is tied over the hat like the or
binary face protection of net or chit
fon, for the mica is exceedingly feX
lille and not at all unbecoming.
Hand-worked white linen, showing
designs of perforated English en-
broidery and medalions in solid
stitching, is one of the most effect
i've of the new embroideries.
The new parasols, while light col
ored and bright in hue, are not as
befrilled as in some other seasons,
except the fulldress fete parasols.
PLAIN silks have patterns geomet
rical or otherwise; some are printed
with roses, some violets, some have
Persian designs, and the Empire
wreaths have found place upon
them.
Parasol handles have become so
elaborate that they are stored in the
jewe! ease nowadays. They are long.
er than formerly, and cabochous OF
sapphires, corals, matriX turquoise,
jade and pearl lend an effective touch
OF advertisement to the quaint heads
of metal, crystal or wood.
Among the pretty and practical
novelties are porcelain buttons, hand
painted, which come in sets of five.
three for the front and two for the
sleeves. Many of the buttons are ex-
quisitely painted in floral designs.

In favor of the new library all OF the
others who had been inclined to i'm
terpose objections withdrew their
opposition.
There were IS members OF that
special joint committee ON the Ii
brary when the first appropriation
was made, and they are named above.
Out OF that number ten have died.

dure with the library. They are Sem
ator Morrill,, Senator Voorhees,, Sena-
tor Gibson, Senator Bayard Sem
ator sherman, Senator Lamar, Rep
rcsentatiyes Holman, O'Neill, Bland
and Cox. The five members OF the
committee still living are Senators
lloar, Miller, Cullom and Butler and
Representative Carlisle. Senator
lioar and Senator Cullom are the only
members OF that great committee
who are now serving In the congress.
Senator hoar says: mo man was
ever more constantly in earnest about
anything in public life than Senator
VOORHEES, was in behalf of that'pcw
library project. During the last few
years of his life IL seemed to be upper
most In all his waking thoughts and
aspirations. lie never claimed dis
iinction for his work. but he deserved
and deserves rsnown for that pro.
longed effort In such good cause"
Senator Cullom says: ut was a pl, as-
ure To work with Senator Voorhees, on

mittee. lie was one of the most hon.
est, earnest, energetic men that ever
lived. when he took up u law case he

undertook to bring about n new build
