A comparison Of the figures for tho
three elections shows that in most of
the rural districts the registration docs
not vary to q great extent, whioa in
dicates that there is very little oppor.
unity to make any great change in the
,esults in any OF those districts. The
loating population is small outside OF
the city and the voters are almost the
same from year to year, except the few
additions by reason of young men be-
coming of voting age and an occasional
removal to the district. The following
table gives the detailed result of the
registration this year outside of the
city, together with comparisons which

Split Pea, Outlets.

A delicious dish, known as outlets, or
vegetarian beefsteak, is made as fol-
lows: Soak one and one-half pints of
split peas in water over night, with a
pinch of soda. Put into double boiler,
with water enough to cover them, a
sprig of thyme, two cloves, a little gar
lie and a green pepper from which the
seeds have been removed. Steam until
the peas are tender, drain, and partly
mash them. Mix with the peas little
very finely minced onion or celery.
Form into balls like fishcakes. Shake
over them a dash Of pepper, dip first
in q beaten egg and then in Indian
meal or bread crumbs, and fry. These
outlets are very. substantial. Dried
lima beans may be prepared In ex-
actly the same way, except that a little
tomato or minced parsley adds greatly
to the flavor. ~ :.

Chicago Union Traction Company
Comedies All That is Asked.
CHICAGO, May 29.-All differences
between the Chicago Union Traction
company and it's employees were set
tied this evening. at which the COM
pany accepted the demands Of the
union. An agreement was entered into
with the Amalgamted Association of
Street Car Employees, whereby the
company agrees to recognize the union,
the rights Of the men to organize; re-
instates all men discharged for joining
the union and to settle all future diff
ferences by arbitration. This practically
does away with all likelihood OF a
strike among the traction men.
The company was represented by
President John M. Roach, vice presi-
dent Walter H. Wilson and James H.
Eckles, a director. The men were rep.
resented by ten barmen. The out
come Of the conference is victory for
the Amalgamated Association, the
