sHoWMAN's TENDER SIDE
GRAVES OF SHOWMEN KILLED BY
LIGHTNING AT WAHPETON RE-
MEM RERED.

LIGHTNING At WAHPETON RE-
MEMBERED.
Richland County Gazette: "A very
pretty ceremony last Wednesday af
ternoon was the decorating of the
graves in Riverside cemetery where lie
the remains of Charles Smith and
Charles Walters, who were killed by
stroke of lightning when the Ringing
circus was here in 1897.
AIT o'clock, when the concert was
finished, about 25O of the laboring men
disposed themselves on two of the
large wagons used for heavy hauling,
each wagon drawn by eight handsome
horses, while one of the Campbell
brothers led the way in a carriage, and
the Commercial hotel bus containing
the ladies brought up the rear of the
procession.
At the gate of the burial ground the
working men formed in line by twos.
The band struck up a dirge, and the
men, uncovering their heads, marched
in and stood in a large circle around
the graves. After them came the per-
formers and ladies, and last of all the
proprietors with the band. The Off
ciating clergyman was Rev. William
Edwards, and he with some of the pro-
prietors and administrative officers,
stepped inside the large circle and ap-
preached the graves. After a short
prayer, the band played Nearer, MY
God, To Thee" Mr. Edwards then
made brilliant address of about 20
minutes length in which he reviewed
briefly the circumstances attending the
death of the deceased, the ties of fell
loWship which bound them to the ones
who were now honoring their remains,
and the tie of humanity which does
and should bind all human beings to
each other and to God. He urged them
not to think of the death of these two
as the arbitrary act of an offended or
unfeeling deity, although that death
resulted from the laws which he es-
tablished for the government of the
world; but it came, rather, from an
unfortunate contact with laws kind
and benefcent in themselves. and
which denoted that the soul of the de-
ceased would continue to experience
that kindness in the spirit world. He
referred to the lessons of kindness and
helpfulness which such events should
enforce upon our minds. His speech
was very eloquent and moved many to
tears-the managers as we'll as the
men.
The band then played the "Sweet
BY and By A number of potted
plants had been secured, and at this
juncture the pots were broken, and
the roots of the plants were set in the
mellow soil covering the graves. Then
with another prayer by Mr.. Edwards
| the touching ceremony was concluded
and the company returned to begin the
evening performance. The whole event
was very beautiful and very impressive
and tells a true story of the tender
side of a showman's nature.
The casualty occurred here on the
10th of June, 1897. and the deceased
were Charles Smith of Rock Island

old A. T. Stewart to buy some goods.
After some dickering they agreed upon
the price, and Palmer calmly said that
he would take about SHOOK worth

credit, but he concluded to make the
deal and told him to come in the next

came, and it didn't require any decla-
ration by the government to inform ev--

HOME CHEESE MAKING.
Process Of Manufacture, Together
with All other Necessary Re-
quirementu, Described in Full.

Where but two or three cows arc
kept it is better to buy what cheese
is consumed than to try to make it.
Where cheese may be needed it may
be well for two or three farmers to
go together and let one party make
cheese for all. twenty-five gallons of
milk will make a cheese of 20 pounds.
This will require a hoop about II
inches in diameter and about the
same in height. The other require
ments will be the cheese tub to Sc!
the milk in, basket, strainer clotE
for draining the curd, and press
of suitable size to accommodate the
cheese to be made. The milk should
be heated to about so or 81 degrees

about three quarts for one rennet'

only be ascertained by experiment.

the whey dipped or run off and the
columns carefully broken with the
hand. Heat the whey that has been
dipped off, or an equal amount VI
water to $50 degrees and turn this
over the curd so that all parts mag
be scalded alike. Stir slowly and
carefully. Cover so as to prevent
cooling, and let it stand about 20
minutes, when the whey is dipped off
again and the whey allowed to drain
off. In about 20 minutes it will he

Put in about one ounce of salt to each

oughly mixed with the curd it is
dipped into the cheese hoop, which
has had cloth previously put in it
Bring the cloth all about the curd
and put to pressing. The pressure
should be moderate at first, and as
soon as it is sufficiently pressed to
handle take it out and put in dry
cloth in the same press. This cloth
should be made to fit the press as
smoothly as possible, so the cheese
will be of an even shape. Put it in
the press, and let it remain until the
press is wanted for another cheese,
or about IS to "a hours. After TAX
ing from the press let it stand for
awhile, until the outside hardens AM

WHAT WOMEN ARE WEARING.
cordsd ribbons are in evidenee.

Corded ribbons are IN evidence.
Suede belts are beautifully embroid-
cred in gold and silver thread.
Stripe edges, anything from hair
line to two inches, are most effective.
Plaid sashes are revived with a ven
geance. These range from Scotch
plaids to pastel combinations.
Most attractive for summer is the
fine white leather belt, with side bag
to match, both absolutely plain.
Madras belts in deep tone of green
are among the novelties. When the
buckle is gilt the belt stitching is of
yellow.
Sailor hats are making a brave
struggle for popularity, and those
shown have low crowns and broad
brims.
Pretty silk ties, wide and with half
inch hemstitched hem, come in black
and blue and white. The ends are
pointed.
Patent leather shoes come in the
simplest and yet prettiest of styles.
One pair has seam up the center of
the front, after a fashion not seen
for long timesa tongue and one little
strap buttoning with plain black but
ton Just below it. There is high heel,
of course, and pretty slope in the hol-
low of the foot.
Soft belts in black have progressive
designs in silver upon them. One, for
instance, has design of lilies and
their leaves artistically done in silver
The largest lily is in the center of the
back, smaller clusters are set at inter
walls along the sides, and the smallest
not much larger than five-cent pieces
are the two which form the clasp. Two
shains are draped across the belt and
connect the different slides.

PACKING PATE DE FOIE Ora.
flashed Pork and Beef suet Used to
Keep the Livers Firm in
the TinR.

In government publica tion relating
to food adulteration, surprise was re-
Gently expressed that even in such
high priced article as pate de foie gras,
the traditional diseased goose livers
have been replaced by beef and pork"
Albion w. Tourgee, the American con-
sui at Bordeaux, writes to the state de-
partment that the statement here
quoted is misleading in two ways. He
insists that the abnormal growth of
goose's liver, when the bird is kept
from exercise and is specially fed, is
no more unhealthy than the fattening
of hog for market. He then consid-
ers the addition of other material to
the goose livers in packing for the
market, says the New York Tribune.
The livers are cut to fit the tins
roughly, and the interstices must be
filled with something else. flashed
pork and beef suet give firmer sup
port to the liver than the thin oil of the
latter would, and keep the livers from
being shaken about and damaged in
transportation. Furthermore, this oil
is likely to grow rancid and make the
contents of the tin offensive to persons
having weak stomachs. The packers
declare that these notifications are re-
sorted to for the sake of pleasing the
fastidious American palate, and only
incidentally to reduce the cost. Con-
sui Tourgee thinks that the pork and
beef suet should not be regarded as
adulterants, especially since they are
thoroughly wholesome.

On most farms the rush of getting
out the manure for the spring planting
is over, and it's time to begin to save
manure to draw out after harvest. II
there is no manure shed on the place

old stack bottoms that are too wet OF
rotted for bedding over them and then
pile the manure as made from day tc

could be let loose on the pile each day
a small amount of shelled corn scat
tered over the mass would lead the
swine to work over the whole, and be

Once upon q time Senator Depew and

The next morning, while Mr.. Clemens was

BABY OF THE FAMILY.
The Unhappy Lot of Princess Beat-
rice While Her Mother
Was Alive.

Princess Henry of Battenberg, bet
ter known, perhaps, as Princess Bea-
trice, Queen Victoria's youngest
daughter, is at last in q position
where she can enjoy herself as she
never was permitted to do during her
mothers lifetime. AS the youngest
of the queens daughters she became
her mothers constant companion,
and, though fond of society, was as
out of it as if she lived in a cloistcr
While her elder sisters were travelling
and visiting poor Beatrice sat at
home, only catching glimpses of the
gay world when the queen took her
spring outings to the south of Eu-
rope. 1t is said this life of repres-
sion has told on her disposition, and
she is the least charming of the
kings sisters and certainly the least
we'll known of them in London.
Now on the shady side of 40, Prin-
cess Beatrice is to make her debut
as royal parsonage, and with her
very pretty daughter will partake of
the privileges accorded to her rank
and wealth during the present sea-
son. The princess is not as handsome
as she promised as little girl when
the prince consort wrote to Berlin
of her clever speeches and the delight
he took in his baby" for she is
now very stout and her nose too de-
cidedly retrousse for beauty, but to
make amends for that she is the most
gifted of Victoria's children.
