A Peanut Palace.

At the Jamestown Exposition the
south erners have determined to erect
an immense peanut palace where this
eseulent tn Der will hold sway.
German chemists have recently
proven the nutrltive value of tho pea
nut and the ration of the soldier con
tains sausages made Of peanuts. 1t is
very nutritious, pleasing to the taste,
and eontains more units Of food energ y
than sausage of similar size made
from pork.
The peanut as ordinarily used roast

somnia yield to late supper of pea

but it's use Is by no means general.
Peanut butter, peanut brittle, ground
peanuts for sandwiches, have certain
vogue, but it is restricted
The Peanut Palace of the jamestown
Exposition is intended. like the corn

Stanton Now a First Class City.

The Court of Appeals at Richmond
last Friday refused to grant writs OF
mandamus and prohibition iu the
much discussed StauntOn census cases,
which means that the Augusta metro
polls heneeforth will stand in the cate
CORY of first class Virginia cities.
The decision of the tribunal will ne
cessitate a reorganization of the Town
Council into two separate branches, in
accordance with the constitutional re.
quirement.
After the new census was taken and
it was found that Staunton. owing tC
the annexation of certain territory. had
a population Of more than 10000, the
point was made that the inmates Of the
Western State Hospital, Deaf, Dumb
and Blind School, another public
institution. should not be included in
the number of Inhabitants.
The court held, however, that these
unfortunates were rightfully included
and thereby followed the precedel
set by the United States CELSIUS Off
cials.

Cook Inlet Operators Arrive for Busi-

Among the Excelsior passengers for Seldovia were A. II. Litchfeld, one of the owners of the store at SuSitna station. and II. W. Nagley, pwSer of the steamer Neptune, which plies on the Cook inlet run during the summer season. Mr. Nagley says Capt. Swift, owner of the Neptune and the CaSwell, the new steamer which is now coming up for the Inlet run, will be up on an early boat, and that the Caswell should arrive almost any day, He thought it improbable that the Cas- well will come in to Seward as it means an extra run of forty miles with out any business to bring her here.
 Mir. Litchfeld brought up a large stock of goods for the Susitna station store and expects to keep up large stock to meet the demands of the Yentna district miners. He expects to put in another store on the upper river, also, if the prospectors get busy in that region this summer.
