wave in America yesterday morning,
the 16-below record here being the low
est that was reported anywhere. The
mercury only dropped to 10 below at

mercury gradually crept upward until
it reached the 25-mark during yester-
day afternoon, making a change of
fifty-one degrees within less than twen-
ty-four hours. Today, with a south
wind, there is promise of still warmer
weather.

Or. SHELTON, assisted by Dr. Ira of
Lynch, amputated the leg of the two
yearOld boy Of Mr.. and Mrs. Weber
of Butte, at his private hospital here.
The leg was taken off just above the
knee. 1t was hoped for many days it
would be possible to save the Young
"hild's life without amputatng the leg,
ut his condition became so serious
Friday that an operation became nee
esaary in order to save his life. He
is doing finely at the present time,
and his recovery is practically certain.
Nurse Korab is taking care of the
case

completed in Madison for the erection
Of a city hall to cost $4,000 The city

county will boast, if the bonds carry,
of one of the finest city halls in the
state. During Mayor Smiths long ad-
ministration the city has installed an
excellent electric light plant and many
other modern improvements.
"HasenpfeffeT? What is hasenpfef-
fer?" To the uninitiated, the word
= seems fierce. But hasenpfeffar is bet
, ter than it sounds. Frank farmer is
Norfolk's expert at preparing the dish
for il is a dish of a toothsome sort
and a taste creates an appetite for
It. Hasenpfeffer is a preparation of
jack rabbit meat with a very highly
9piced sauce about it and when served
bot, it is a meal in itself and has a
iayOr that's all its own. Few know
how to dish up hasenpfeffer as does
Frank farmer. He learned the art
for it is an art-in the old country, and
he never forgot it. His recipe is his
secret and couldn't be bought for love
, Or money. Hasenpfeffer is one Of the
few ways in which a jack rabbit may
be transformed into a delicious bite.
