favorite receipts. Mrs. Peter Martin
formerly Miss Lillian Oelrichs, is a
devotee of the chatting dish, and in

dish with great skill. She has a re-
ceipt for cooking reed birds and potato
balls that cannot be excelled. Mrs.
John Jacob Astor loves salads and des-
serts and has discovered many new
combinations, the secrets of which she
will not disclose. Her pride is mac
aroOn basket, for which the ingred-
tents are prunes, macaroons, whipped
cream and sherry. Mrs. Payne Whit
ney, formerly Miss Helen Hay, adds
to her literary ability fruit salad

PROPOSES PEACE SETTLEMENTS.
Russia And Great Britain TbInk They
See Their Way Clear.

London, Oct 31-Details of the
agreement between Russia and Great
Britain on mode of settlement of
the question arising out of the firing
on British trawlers by tie Russia sec
ond Baltic squadron were. supplied by
Premier Balfour in a speech deliver
ed before the National Union of Con-
sentative clubs at Southampton last
night. The ascertainment of the facts
for submission to a commission form
ed under the rules of The Hague
peace conference will be through the
coroner's inquest at Hull, an investi-
cation by the British board of trade
and the examination Of the officers of
the Russian ships which fred on the
fishermen. In his speech Mr.. Balfour
ridicules the official explanation of
Admiral Rojestvensky, but praised the
spirit in which the Russian govern
ment had met the crisis. In both Rus
STA and Great Britain the prevailing
feeling is of relief that there no Ion
ger seems to be danger of war be-
tween the nations.

Great BrIfaiHg Getting Ready For Fu
fure Trouble.
WARSHIPS READY FOR ACTION.
No Immediate Solution for the Com
pIicated Diplomatic Situation, Which
is Attended With Dangerous Pos
siEaIities.

London, Oct. notwithstanding
of Admiral Rojestvensky's report, it
is evident that Great Britain is pre-
pairing for the possibility of war.
Tremendous activity is reported from
all the dock yards, where vessels I'M
der repair are being made ready for
sea under urgent orders from the ad-
miralty.
At Cardiff it is stated that admir-
atty agents are securing great quanti-
ties of coal for Gibraltar. Portsmouth.
Malta and other ports and paying high
freights. The Mediterranean fleet is
fastening in the direction of Gibraltar,
and it is announced that the channel
squadron, with decks cleared, will
leave Gibraltar early this morning, its
alleged object being a sham attack on
the rock. The home fleet likewise is
concentrating. In fact, almost the en-
tire British Navy is pointing in the
direction of the Baltic fleet, portion
of which is expected to sail from Vigo
today.
Perhaps the most significant devel-
opment is the cabinet meeting which
is called for noon today. While the
call was issued prior to the receipts
to Rojestvensky's report, which chang
ed the situation considerably and ap-
pears to place some of the burden of
proof upon Great Britain, the meeting
undoubtedly marks the reaching of a
serious stage.
One of the most complicated dip1o-
matte situations in recent history and
one that is attended with the most
dangerous possibilities for the peace
of the whole of Europe, exists with no
sign of immediate solution. The ten
sion that arose when the dispute be-
tween Great Britain and Russia re-
solved itself into the simple question
whether Russia would or would not
guarantee in advance that some pun
ishment should be administered to the
offending officers of the Baltic squad
ron. has been modified by the intro
ductiOn of an entirely new set of con-
tentiOns contained in Vice Admiral
RojeStvensky's report; yet even the
most astute diplomats, who recognized
a temporary improvement in condi-
lions, are puzzled by the complications
that SO curiously cause it. However,
there is tonight at the embassies of
powers not concerned in the dispute
a very strong conviction that a way
out will be found other than in re-
course to war.

Muskogee, Oct. Ex-senator J. F.
Meyers, of Tishomingo, who has been
attending the sessions of the Chicka-

rolls closed in 1902.
Another resolution was passed ask
ing the federal government to pay the
nation before 1906 all moneys due it
for whatsoever purpose. An act was
also passed the calling for the sale of
public property of the Chickasaw ma
ton to the highest bidder, including
capitol buildings school houses and
public lands. The legislature also asks
that parents be appointed guardians of
their own children. Senator Meyers
says that at least nine-tenths of tie
members of the legislature oppose the
present lease system.

Cured Her rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 31.-(Spe-
ciaL)-There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure of the little
daughter of l. n. Whipkey of Rheu-
matism. She was great sufferer for
five or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills. She began to improve
almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other chill
dren do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
81 am indeed thankful for what
Dcdd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
a cripple perhaps for life
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If
the Kidneys are right there, can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and conse-
quently no rheumatism. DOdd's Kid
ney Pills make the Kidneys right.

one. If they would fight against

Negro, Joe Bumpus, Taken From
Jail and Put to Death Supposed

Joe Bumpus, the black fend,
who was charged with the crime
of attempted rape on the person
of a respectable white girl near
Jordan in this county, was taken
from the Jail and put out of the
way during Monday night. We
learn that during the night Jailor
Noonan was called up by mob of
meh and told that they had a ne
gro prisoner to place in his keep
ing, and to come out and open the
jail door. When Mr.. Noonon
opened the door upstairs he was
caught hold of and covered with a
pistol and told to give up the key
to Joe Bumpus cell which he OF
course did. We learn that the
prisoner was carried up the rail-
road and made way with.
The idea prevails generally that
he was drowned above town, as his
body had not been found up to
last night.
1t was thought by nearly every
body that the negro would, as he
had gone this long without lynch
ing, be given q trial at the next
circuit court. We learn that Bum
pus was also resting easy on that
score, but it seems that there are
some who believe he should be
