A VEGETARIAN DISH.

A favorite and quickly prepared
vegetarian dish is worthy the atten-
ton of persons who do sometimes par
take of meat. Grind quite fine two
cups of mixed nuts, English waInuts,
hickory nuts and almonds make a good
mixture, but any kind with not too
strong a flavor may be used. Remove
the crust from a loaf of bread just
slightly stale, and flake the soft part.
Mix the broad flakes and the nuts, adj
ding salt, pepper, sage or any other
preferred herbs. Melt two tablespoons
fuls OF butter, add to a cup Of milk
and use this to blend the mixture into
firm loaf Bake about an hour,
basting faithfully with butter and
water. Serve hot with rich tomato
sauce.

employed in that city. Practically
every cotton mill in Rhode Island
and mills elsewhere controlled by

employees.

advance include Whitinsville, Lin

SEVEN LITTLE GIRLS DROWN
Were Wadihg at Cedar Rapids
and Stepped Beyond Depth.
Smallest One Suddenly Sinks and Six
others Lose Lives in Trying
to Save Her,

Cedar Rapids. Iowa. Seven girls
were drowned while wading in Cedar
River, only three blocks from home.
One child slipped into a deep hole,
and in trying to rescue her six others
were drowned. Ruth Klersey was
the only one OF the party to escape.
The dead are Lucille, Hazel, Gladys
and Josie Sweeting Ruth and Cora
Coy1e and Clara Usher The girls
ranged in age from seven to sixteen
years.
The Sweeting children lived with
their father near Ellis Park, on the
outskirts of Cedar Rapids. Clara
Usher was the daughter of Sweet
ing's housekeeper, and the Coyle
children were nieces who were on o
visit from Sioux City.
The children had gone to the river
with Mrs. Usher, who took her baby.
The latter fretted and Mrs. Usher
started home with it, The children
immediately went wading in the
river. Ruth Klersey went to the
end OF a long sandbar and seeing
that the water was deep at the end

ran to the end of the bar and, the
sand yielding. slipped off into seven
feet OF water. Her cries brought
Hazel Sweeting to her aid. In try
ing to pull Lucille back on the sand
bar she, too, fell in to the deep
water. Another child went to her
assistance and slipped III. and &C
on until the seven of the eight chill
dren were in deep water. Some OF
them drowned helplessly, while two
or three, vainly tried to climb back
on the sandbar out of deep water.
Ruth Klersey, seeing the fate of
her companions, then ran down the
road crying to Mrs. Usher, overtak-
ing her when almost home. Mrs.
Usher left her baby in the road and
ran back to aid the children. She
managed to get hold of the hair Of
two of them and pulled them out Of
the water, but it was too late to
save their lives.
The other bodies were recovered
later, while hundreds of people
gathered on the river bank to watch
the sad task.

searched by the Sherif's officers for
firearms before they were permitted
to enter court More than a dozen
revolvers were confiscated and sew
eral long knives taken from the
Breathitt County visitors. B. R.
Jouett made the opening statement
of the prosecutions case in the new
trial of Judge James Hargis and Ed
ward Callahan for the murder Of
James B. Marcum. He announced
that many of the States witnesses
had remained away because they
feared assassination, and warned the
jurors that the Hargis- Cockrell feud,
which had disgraced Kentucky,
would continue unless justice were
done
One incident he promised to prove
was a plot by which it was arranged
that Tom White was to kill Marcum
with shotgun as he passed the
Hargis store. Marcum passed by
holding his baby in his arms White,
he said, was upbraided for not shoot
ing and replied that he did not want
to kill the baby. Hargis is quoted
as saying: ssYou ought to send that
brat to hell with it's daddy"
Jouett's statement was dramatic
in the extreme and the picture he
drew so vivid that Mrs. Marcum and
other women in the courtroom cried

lurking at places near her home
after Marcum had been warned by
Feltner that they would be at those
places for the purpose of carrying
out the plots of Hargis and Gala

seen Smith, Abner and Jett enter
and leave the house of Alexander
Hargis, where the window in one
room was raised about six inches.
Mr. Patrick, a lawyer of Jackson,
saw Curtis Jet enter the side door
of the Courthouse in Jackson and
few minutes later shots were fired
and Marcum fell dead in front of
the Courthouse. 1t was called to
the attention of the court that
partisans Of Hargis and Callahan
were intimidating witnesses for the
prosecution, causing some Of them
to leave town. The court announced
that the intimidators would be Sc
