| they will keep fresh till the next
spring. We have some this month
stuffed and baked that were just as
good as when they were pulled last
November. They make nice pickles.
and there are a dozen ways to cook
them.
l do not see why they have never
been shipped North, as they would
ship well, and vine that is given
plenty of room will bear a barrel or
more of the pears.
TO pickle, stew or fry they should
be pulled when quite tender. but for
stuffing are better when the outside
is a little tough. Here we keep them
through the winter in a barrel in the
kitchen. just thrown in as one would
potatoes. In cooking, the seed or
germ, is cut out If to be stuffed,
they are split, the germ taken out
and the halves boiled in salt water
till tender, then taken out and mixed
with onions, sage, potatoes. hard-boiI-
ed eggs, sausage meat, i'm fact almost
anything that is eatable, and baked
the same as egg plant. Years ago
L wrote, for publication, directions for
cooking these pears, so you see the
new "ChayOte' is not so new after
all.
From one vine of the white variety
last year, l gave to country peopia
here about fifty seed pears, and fur
nished three families with pears for
the table from August till November
raked some litter off where the old
root is in big lard can (bOttOmless),
and l expect there are more than
thirty nice seed ones piled around the
can just as fresh as when pulled last
November
After the middle of March | shall
rake the litter away from the old
vines and throw some old rOtte,l ma
nure all around, for the roots fill the
cans and spread for several feet
around just under the soil. Thirteen
years ago, we had just one vine of the
green variety, and gathered a barrel
of pears one evening. We had been
giving away and using them in a
(then large family, for over three
months, which will give you some
idea of how they bear, but they must
have a big house or tree to climb. I
find that a dead tree is good as they
get up In the air. In two weeks after

Try feeding mOlasses to part of the
horses or colts and note results. IT is
both economical and satisfactory. 1t
can be fed on the grain, Or on cut hay,
or on mixture of both. Feed from one
to three pints of the mOlasses twice
each day-beginning with moderate
doses until you find the exact quantity
suited to each horse. Worked animals
should have more than unwOrked ones.
unused horses and colts will require
no grain If fed mOlasses with the hay.

HEART-RENDING TRAIN WRECK
ON BALTIMORE & OHIO.
.FORTY-FIVE CREMATED
Over Half of 165 Passengers Either
Dead or Missing-All Others Lose
Baggage and Clothing.
Passengers Were Mostly
Immigrant to Northwest.

Chicago, H., Nov. l22.-More than
one half Of the passengers on an inn
migrant train on the Baltimore &
Ohio road, were killed or injured
in a collision today between pas
senger train and freight train near
Woodville, Ind. One hundred and
siXty-hve passengers were on the train
and of these forty-seven were killed
outright or burned TO death in the
fire which broke out in the wreckage
Immediately after the collision. The
names of all the dead will probably
never be known, as .forty-fve Of the
bodies were so badly consumed in
the flames or were so badly burned
that Identification will be impossible.
Thirty-eight people were injured and
several of these will die. Eighty of
the others escaped unhurt but lost
nearly all Of their baggage and cloth
ing.
The disaster was caused by binder
of some employe of the railroad com
pany, but just where the blame lies
has not yet been determined. The
passenger train was loaded with Rus
sian Jews, Servians and Poles, all of
them recent arrivals in the country
and bound for Chicago or placse in
the northwest. The train was the
second section Of a through train

The Elks club rooms over the World
office have been rendered to the Sen
atorial committee, which is to inves-
tigate affairs in Indian Territory,
commencing today at Vinita. The
committee will be in Tulsa on the
26th and 9th of this month, unless
the schedule is changed from the
present status.
The report of the committee will
be one of the most important matters
to be considered by Congress at the
coming session. The committee will
spend two weeks or more conducting
hearings in the territory and will then
90 to Washington for further work.
There has always been a lack OF
information in the senate concerning
the real situation in Indian Territory
The committee will try to see what is
needed in the way Of legislation.
There is a prevailing sentiment that
there should be a general loosening of
the restrictions imposed by the gov
ernment upon the Indians The prob
lem is big and intricate.
Senator Chester | Long, of Kan
sas, one of the best Informed men on
Indian affairs in the Senate, has out
lined the scope Of the committee IS in
vestigation.
According to Senator Long, the
committee is not coming to the Indian
Territory to investigate the conduct
of executive officials to see if they
have been guilty Of something or not.
This might come up incidentally The
committee will endeavor to acquaint
the Senate on four important matters
concerning the territory, and es-
pecially the Indians. The first is the
question Of removing the government
restrictions regarding the sale of the
surplus lands of the Indians, At
present this land cannot be sold. II is
argued that if the Indians had the
money which these lands would bring
they could better improve their allot-
ments. The lands would also be
opened for settlement and come un-
der taxation Then there is the
question of what shall be done with
the coal lands Of the Indians, whether
they shall be sold or leased This in
cludes the oil and asphalt leases. The
third big question is that of taxation
and the fourth is the question of
schools In each state the custom
has been able to set aside two sections
Of public land in each township for
the benefit of schools. Indian Terri
tory has no school lands, so Congress
has set aside 3 million dollars for the

GREAT VICTORY

DEMOCRATS FINALLY APPOINT
YEARS fight TRIUMPHS
After Filbustering for Months, Demo
cratic Administration at Last Gives
In TO Public Demand.

In the appointment Of George w,
Foresman as building inspector for

has won a notable victory. This pa
per, since its establishment, has con
sistently urged the appointment Of a
building inspector, pointing out both
in its news aud editorial columns, the
absolute necessity Of such an official.
The Democratic majority in the city
council has flibustered time and
again, and succeeded in blocking legis-
lation until last night When a peti-
ton from over fifty carpenters Of the
city, backed up by the citizenship Of
the city, endorsed the World s policy
in the matter, the council at last got
together, and the appointment was
made. 1t went through unanimously,
the Democrats having at last given
in to the demands of the public.

of the city, the resignation of City
Attorney Mitchell and two members
Of the city police, the creation
of lieutenant Of police, the APP
poiutment of building inspector and
the appointment of George T. Brown

The report of the city attorney in
regard to the gasoline engine of the
Bindings Stevens Grain company on
First street was to the effect that n
muifler had been put on the contrap-
tion and that its noise was no longer
annoying.
Citizen Lewis, part of whose prop
erty the city has been using as
dumping ground, refused to make
a long time contract for the purpose.
The resignation of Noble Mitchell
as city attorney was accepted and the
council passed a resolution of appre-
citation of his services.
George 7. Brown, young attor-
ney with Offices in the Reneau build
ing, was nominated, and being the
only applicant, was elected unani-
mously to I'll the position made va
cant by Mitchell's resignation.
After some discussion it was re-
solved that limestone be entered ms

macadamizing the streets.

He was followed by Contractor Stuck
