The West Kentucky Coal compa-

to Sturgis, KY, have recently issued
bonds to the amount of 5000, 900, to
be used in the development and bet

bonds are gilt-edged and of course
will soon be absorbed and the money
applied as above stated. Just now
the company are having some trouble
with the miners union of Sturgis and
to protect their property have thrown
around the Stugis shaft and light
plant perfect Gordon of guards and
mounted a Maxim rapid-fre gun in a

Among the first bills introduced
into the present Congress was one APP
propriating over $4,000, 600 to the
Panama canal, to meet contracts al
ready entered into, in addition to the
so, 900, 600 appropriated by the last
Congress. That is to say, the Pan
anna Canal Commission have, within
the space Of one year, created a de
ficiency of more than $40, 900, 900
without warrant Of law, AID hence
the haste with which it is sought ia
supply the deficiency. Thus far the
whole canal management has heen
rotten to the core, and if it is not
subjected to searching investiga-
ton by the present Congress the
Press will lose it's guess.

try, being descended from the little net
carried by Roman ladies and called reti-
culum.
Mittens are to be much worn this
year and now that long sleeves have
been ousted by long gloves, nlittens will
be acceptable. To many, and more es-
pecially to the posSe5aors Of pretty

be welcome indeed. Few realize what

q DELICIOUS CAKE.
Both Inexpensive and Easy t.
Make

Both inexpensive and Easy to
Make.
Most cakes are expensive, and require
great deal of experience and patience
to make. But here Is a dainty and in
expensive cake easily made and suitable
for afternoon teas, for suppers, for
luncheons. or for a dessert for dinner.
This is the way to make it:
In mixing bowl put one egg, half a
cup of butter, one cupful OF sugar, and
level teaspoonful of grated nutmeg.
Whip all these ingredients together with
a fork till they are the consistency or a
cream, then add a cupful of sweet milk
and stir it well through the mixture.
Sift two cupfuIs OF -four with two heap
ing teaspoonfuls Of baking powder into
another bowl, and gradually stir IL into
the bowl with the other ingredients.
Butter the inside of q little patty pan
thoroughly and half fill 1t with the
cake batter: stand ii in d moderate oven
This is to test the mixture. If 1t stands
all right after baking, the batter Is
stiff enough, if not, 1t requires a little
more flour. If the batter stands the
test, butter q cake pan, about two
inches deep, ten inches long, and eight
inches wide. Pour the batter in II, and
bake the cake in a moderate oven.
When done let 1t stand IN the pan about
ten minutes IN cool place; then turn
IL out on a cake board and spread d
light frosting over 1t. Carefully crack
and remove the meats from twelve Eng
halves in the icing OF the cake; Just
press them a little. so they sink slightly
in the frosting, and lay them in even
lines just a little way apart.
