CHECKED BY BOLT.
SIX REPUBLICANS DESERT ON
SECOND BALLOT
FURTHER SPLIT is EXPECTED
Interesting Developments Are Looked
for Today In BaIIotlng Of the
Missouri Legislature for
Senator

BY Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. 1S.-
The bolt of six republicans on the first
and two more on the second ballot
from the ranks of Thomas K. Med
ringhaus the republican nominee for
United States senator to succeed
Francis M. Cockrell, when Mr.. Me
dringhaus' election had seemed as
sured, resulted in no choice today.
With the exception of one, who cast
his ballot for DR.. Pettijohn of Lynn
county, all the boilers voted for Rich
ard G.. Kerens of st. Louis, who was
the strongest opponent of Niedring-
haus in the caucus.
Interesting developments are ex-
pected tomorrow. Claims are made
by the anti ti-Niedringhaus forces that
fifteen votes will be taken from the
Niedringhaus strength tomorrow. They
say that having voted for him twice
on joint ballot, the pledged members
have done their duty and are now free
for another candidate, and if neces-
sary. to join in call for another
caucus on senatorial nominee.
Ballots Without Result
The Legislature met in joint session
at noon today. Two, ballots were
taken without result. All the MEM
bers of both houses, 176 in number,
were present. The vote cast yesterday
was canvassed as follows:
Senate = Cockrell, %; Niedring-
haus II.
House-Cockrell, So; Niedringhaus,
79; Bittinger, 1; Kerens, 1.
A joint ballot was then ordered.
break for Niedringhaus, the Re-
name of Representative John 7. Bit
finger, Republican, and one of the old
est members of the house, was called.
Bittinger voted for r. c. Kerens. A
slight applause followed. This example
was emulated by Others and the final
ballot resulted: Niedringhaus 81;
Cockrell SO; Kerens 6.
kerens Boilers Cheered
The Kerens men were cheered as they
bolted the nomination of the state
chairman. Those voting for Kerens
were Representatives Bittinger, Cook,
Branch, Elliott, Grace and Roach.
A motion to adjourn until tomor-
row was defeated
On the second ballot Niedringhaus
lost two votes, the ballot resulting:
Niedringhaus S5; Cockrell SO; Kerens
q Pettijohn 1.
The Republicans called joint caucus
Immediately after adjournment.
1t is reported that the name of Major
William Warner of Kansas City will
be presented as compromise candi-
date. The Warner men are threaten
ing to leave the Niedringhaus forces
1t will be impossible for Niedringhaus,
in the judgment of well posted poll
ticians. to rally the Kerens men to his
aid, and as the Democrats are solidly
organized, there seems to be abso-
lutely no consolation for him in the
situation as it now stands,

Land of Bad Snowdrifts.

The worst snowdrifts experienced
by any railroad are said to be those
In Sweden. Although the cold is not
SC intense as in some of our western
states, the snowfall is heavy and con-
tiiuous. The snow plows of various
kinds which are used on these roads
are said to be the most powerful In
the world. There are times, however,
when even this machinery fails to
clear the way, when hundreds of men
must be employed to ding out the

SOME SIMPLE DISHES,

Breakfast Toast-Cut rather thin
slices of bread into two or three
pieces. Put these into the oven and
let them bake very slowly for two or
three hours, or until of a golden color
and crisp throughout. This is an ex.
cellent substitute for breads and much
more wholesome. 1t is delicious served
with cocoanut or dairy cream or but
ter.
Cocoanut Cream.-Cut fresh cocoa
nut into thin slices and grind the nut
very fine in a chopper or some strong
hand mill. If nothing of this sort is
available, the cocoanut may be grated.
To each cup Of the prepared nut add
one cup of hot water, stirring and
beating with a spoon to extract as
much of the juice as possible Drain
off the liquid and add a similar ouan.
tity OF hot water, and, after beating
again very thoroughly, strain through
cloth or very fine sieve, pressing
out all the liquid possible. This may
be used at once as a substitute for
milk, to be eaten with rice or other
grains, or to prepare buildings or
sauces. 1t is excellent served with
granose flakes or eaten with zwie-
back. If placed on the ice for few
hours, the cream will rise to the top
and may be taken off, making a pure
cocoanut butter.
strawberry Eeg-nog.-Beat the yolk
and white OF one egg separately, and
TO each add one teaspoonful of sugar.
To the yolk add one teaspoonful of
lemon juice and two tablespoonful
OF strawberry juice. Stir in the white,
leaving enough to serve as a meringue
for the top.

Sun ParIor for Baby,

Stunning the baby is the latest thing

fiercely the winds may blow or how
low the thermometer may sink the
sun parlor is always ready for the

LASSoINa FISH THROUGH ICE.
Unique Sport Enjoyed on a Potomac
Branch Stream.


In Hardy county, w Va, the south
fork of the south branch of the Pc
tomac resolves itself into a series OF
fishing or swimming holes connected
by rifles. The water is from two to
five feet deep and quite clear.
When the ice forms on these ponds
the men and boys indulge in a unique
mode of fishing.
Three holes are cut in the ice in
line across stream, at which are sta
toned as many men with snares or
strip loops of soft copper wire that
will tighten on being drawn round an
object. These men kneelng by the
holes watch for the fish to pass
The others in the sport go, some to
one end of the pond, others to the
other. Those downstream, by stamp
ing or beating on the ice with rails,
start the fish upstream, when the men
stationed at the holes try to snare
them. The men upstream in turn
drive the fish back past the holes.
The process is repeated again and
again, until the mess of fish is obtain
ed, or the enthusiasm of the fishermen
is exhausted Country Life in Ameri-

There are four classes First, those
who have a hereditary predisposition

have weakened their system and thus
predisposed themselves to consump-

those whose constitution has been

those whose occupations, trades or
professions, such as printing, hat max

pations where the worker is much ex-
posed to the inhalation of various
kinds of dust, have rendered them
particularly liable to consumption"
Let every one take courage and live
above tuberculosis. If you are already
suffering from it strive to rise above
it. Avoid alcoholic beverages, condi-

out of doors, provide fresh air for
your bed room, study the laws of your

Water Purific alton.

A physician connected with the
United States Agricultural department
has called attention to the fact that
an extremely small quantity of sui
plate of copper will prevent the
growth of algae in lakes, ponds and
storage reservoirs, and will destroy
typhoid and cholera germs. The ques.
ton at once arises whether this meth.
cd can be considered thoroughly n.y.
gjenic, The probability is that the
small amount of copper thus en-
ployed would be neutralized by com
bining with vegetable substances so
that the water will be left practically
pure nevertheless, the addition of
chemical substances to water cannot
be considered the most desirable
method of publication. Boiling and
filtering through a Pasteur filter are
really the best methods. Filters are
cheap, and boiling is an easy and sim
pie process. The old-fashioned char
coal and gravel filters cannot be re-
lied upon.

Alcohol and Tuberculosis.

DR.. S. A. Knopf the eminent New
York physician who has given a great
deal of attention to the subject of
tuberculosis, took occasion not long
since in scientific paper to condemn
the popular notion that alcohol is a
remedy for consumption. He says:
There is an idea that alcohol is a
remedy or even specific remedy for
consumption. There has never been
greater mistake made Alcohol has
never cured and never will cure

retard recovery. 1t is like a two

the results of this erroneous doctrine

stead of procuring good nourishment
for the invalid, liquor has been bought
In far too large quantities, so that

A New York paper publishes an &C
count of a successful effort recently
made by Mr.. n o. Nelson, in South
ern California, to provide for the poor
er classes. Mr.. Nelson has established
at Indio, in Southern California, what
he calls health camp for consump-
tives. We quote the following de-
scription of this worthy enterprise
with the hope that it may encourage
others to do likewise; for certainly
no more benefcent work can be under
taken by anyone:
"The camp is located in desert
valley, cut off from the ocean by
the mountains. There is no rain, no
fog, no clouds. The winter days are
all warm, the nights comparatively
cold
THE camp was established In De-
cember, 1902, to provide in part for
the large number of consumptives and
other invalids who go to Southern
California. Most of the inyalids have
little means; they can not afford ex-
pensive sanitariums, and are not want
ed by hotels and boarding houses.
ITO meet the requirements of such
patients, Mr.. Nelson bought one hun
dred and twenty-five acres of land adj
joining the Indio depot. This tract
he has improved by sinking artesian
wells, and by putting most of the land
under cultivation, in order to give con-
valescents something to do.
Tents, with all necessary equip
ment for sleeping and taking meals,
have been set up. Land and water
ara free to those who have their own
outfit. A small rental for tents is
made to those who can not pay, and
where necessary, board is given them.
All expenses need not be more than
from $3.50 to $500 a week.
Work is provided for those who are
able to do it, so that their care does
not become burden on the camp.
THE camp is situated in the midst
OF sandy valley one hundred miles
long and three to ten miles wide.
The mountains on each side rise by
degrees to four thousand and five
thousand feet high. In some places in
the foothills there are springs and
vegetation.
'In the valleys most of the land
has been taken up in the past few
years. The crops of melons and vege-
tables are early and bring high prices. ,
From 800 to 5000 an acre is an
ordinary yield. Alfalfa hay is cut ten
times a year, giving twelve to fifteen
tons an acre.
When the campers get we'll enough |
to work, they buy or lease a few
acres. They can either buy the land

shares for such length of time as de.

VIRTUE OF PEAT BATHS.
Discovery Made by Poor Peasant On
the Coast of Finistere,


The discovery of the value OF peat
baths was made accidentally many
years ago.
On the coast Of Finistere there lived
at one time a very poor family. The
Esther of the family eked out a scanty
living by killing aged cattle and di
vesting them of their skins. The re-
mains he sold to tanners and refiners.
OF the three children which be.
longed to this couple one was poor
creature, delicate and wretched, and
apparently nalf witted. The mother
was so ashamed of this offspring that
she could not bear to have the child
in her sight.
Consequently he spent most of his
time, half clothed and badly fed, roll
ing about in the peat bogs which were
behind the cottage.
Little by little it was noticed that
the child was improving in health,
that his skin was becoming as fair
and soft as peach, his eyes bright
and his spirits and actions those of
strong, healthy boy instead of a half
witted little animal.
The old country physician on one
OF his rounds noticed the improved
condition of the boy and mentioned
that fact and the cause at a medical
conference in Paris.-New York Her.
