Waffle Party.

Waffle Party.
The ladies of st. James uufid on
'Shrove Tues" during the after
moor and evening OF last week gave
a waffle party" for which unique in
vitations had been issued a few days
previous. The giving of these waf-
fies or pancake socials" is in COM
memoration of an ancient French u.s.
tom and is carried out by many Of
their descendants in all parts of the
country, particularly among the
churches who observe the Lenten sea-
son. The day before Ash Wednes-
day, the beginning of Lent, is known
as "Shrove Tuesday and also as
"Mardi Gras," which means literally
Fat Tuesday" and is the last day of
the carnival-farewell to flesh. Not
only is Mardi Gras celebrated by pag-
eants, masquerades, parades and like
festivities, but among the early
French settlers, a quaint custom was
handed down which is still observed.
Families and friends gathered togeth-
er before the Lenten season began and
gave it the name of Pancake Tues
day." The cakes were baked in long
handled frying pans over a hot fire
and were turned by a quick move
ment of the pan, which tossed them
into the air. Woe to the unhappy
maid, If in turning them she vas not
~dextcrous enough, but allowed it to
fall to the floor, which was a sure
sigI, that for at least a year she would
reLiain in a state of single blessed
ness.
After the feast all took part in sing
ing and often the evening ended with
the old French dance in which both
old and young engaged, but all merri-
ment ceased when Ash Wednesday
was ushered in upon the stroke of
twelve.
The ladies OF the Guild deyiated
slightly from this custom by serving
"waffles" instead of the o~ld-fashioned
pancake. A large attendance repaid
the ladies for their efforts a.ld the
first waffle party" the Lewistown
ladies' gave was a most decided finan-
cial success.

Practically All Of the Crop Now in the
Crib in Good Shape.
Special to Times-Republican.
Hampton, Dec. S.-For the first time
in several years the corn husking is
done before there has been fall Of
snow to interfere. Husking commence
ed late this season because the farmer
wanted the corn to dry on the stalk as
long as possible and it was nearly Mo-
vember before the farmers were all at
the husking. The fine weather of No
vember aided greatly and at the pres
ent time there are but few fields of corr
unpicked in this section of, the state.
The yield is not big one, but will be
fairly good. Not much of the crop is
being marketed, and with the exception
of the small amounts being hauled to
the feeders there is no grain hauling.
The majority of the farmers here will
either. feed their corn or hold it for
better prices.

HOG RECEIPTS HEAVY.

History Of City.

Supply at Sioux City Now Largest in
History of City.
Special tot2fmes- Republican.
/ Sioux City, Dec. s. - During the
summer months when Armour & Co.
were working on their plant getting in
shape for the full run, there were ru-
mors af1oat that 1t would not be long
before Swift & Co. and other packing
concerns would become interested at
this market. About that time also the
need more packers at Sioux City? You
are not getting sufficient stock for the
Cudahy Packing Company" The ans
wer was, when given, generally sneer-
ed at and usually ran, 1.-The stock is in
Sioux City's territory; all we ask is the
facilities for handling the cattle, hogs
and sheep that are raised and fed in
the great northwest"
That this fact has been partially
realized is beyond question today and
at Sioux City total of $50 cars, esti-
mated at $500 hogs, were received at
this market breaking all previous rec
ords in the annals of the Stock Yards
Company. Not only this record has
been broken but for the first three
days of this week, estimating $500 hogs
for today, total Of 20,s0O hogs have
been received or 1926 cars which again
breaks any previous record for first
three days of any week, and in all
probability by the close Of this week
last weeks record of 10000 hogs will
have been passed. II these few facts
are not sufficient to open the eyes of
any short-sighted inquirer as to what
percentage of stock South Dakota, Ne
braska or Iowa could furnish the Sioux
City market it might be well to re-
mark that hog receipts for the year up
to date have passed the million mark
and that today the count for the year
so far foots up 1,00310O hogs. and this
run will be very much increased before
the closing days of 1904. The official
receipts of hogs during 1903 were l.
OO7, 800 head.

The court room is full at every ses-
sion, but the officials have given it out
that they will not allow any such
crowds at attended the Novak trial, for
it is not believed that the floor of the
court room will stand any such strain.
This will undoubtedly be the last
important case in the old court house,
built many years before the civil war,
for the old hulk will come down within
a few months to make room for a mod

keeping with the wealth and pride of
the people of one of the wealthiest

outset, then broke severely and has
since recovered and sold above yes
terlay's close for the May, altho De-
cember has by no means kept pace.
The severe break early was helped a.
long by pan'cky stock market at
New York and the belief that some
Of the eastern wheat holders would
come out. Considerable liquidation at
tended the decline but all of the Offer
ings went into strong hands and the
market speedily braced up. On an adj
vance of 211s from the low point there
has been great deal Of wheat for sale.

bushels increase for November against
