which has so delighted the country
then the market reports do not
disclose the fact. Naaman the
Syrian, rejected the prophets re-
ceipt for curing his lcprosy because
1t was too simple. 1t was only to
wash and be clean. He demanded
something spectacular. lie wanted
Elisha to come out to him and stand
and call upon the name of the Lord
and strike his hand over the place.
And so the real cure of the mo-
nopoly that is affecting the country
IS too simple to impress the public.
What is monopoly 1t is the alb
sence OF competition. Then why
not, III the name of reason and
common sense, take down the bars
and let competition enter? y great
fine may be imposed upon the
Standard Oil company. But what
Will that avail3 1t will simply re-
suit in a higher price for oil, and
50 the people will lose instead of
finding relief in that kind of trust
busting If the sugar trust is cX-
acting an unfair price for sugar,
why not let the German rcfincr.cs
compete with thcm' If the tobac-
co trust maintains high prices why
not let Cuba compete with ii?
This is not only too simple, but it
would be too effective. The poo
pie who are standing pat on the
tariff do not want the trusts
curbcd.

Then Cleveland comes as twenty-five;
And Harrison as twenty third;
Then Cleveland once again is heard.
As twenty-hfth, Mckinley, great,
Who, too, has shared the martyrs fate;

We hail the gallant Roosevelt,
Who now unto himself succeeds
Because he meets the country's needs.

THE c. N. & ST. p. FOLDER
Soon 10 be Issued Will Set Forth Beautiful
Kitttas in all her Glory.

Last Saturday Geo. B. Haynes,
general immigration agent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway, with headquarters at Chi
cago, arrived here and on Friday
he was taken III hand by Messrs.
Kaufman and Hubbell, who start
ed out with him i'll an automobile
and gave him a drive of about
seventy five miles through the val
ley, first doing the east side and
then covering that portion of the
valley across the river.
Mr.. Haynes informed the gentle
men that on leaving the main office
he was instructed to pay special
attention to kittitas valley with a
view to securing ample and reliable
data for insertion in a new folder
which the company will soon get
out. He was equipped with a
camera and took a number of pho
tographs on the trip, and also
secured extensive notes for his
write-up. He was greatly impress
ed with what he saw, and grasped
the possibilities that await the
coming of his company. He was
an expert questioner and a good
listener, and nothing Of a practical
nature seemed to escape his notice.
The west was not strange to him,
but he had never been in this re-
glon before, and was not very
familiar with irrigation. Conse-
quently, this feature of Our agri-
cultural resources was very
interesting to him, and he graspcd
Its Importance at once. Before the
trip was concluded he told Mcssrs.
Kaufman and Hubbell that it was
probable that a special folder for
Klttltas valley was a posi-
blllty, although he did not promise
this. But he did say that we
would be brought prominently be-
tore the travelling public and the
patrons of his road in particular.
This is very encouraging, and
]ustlhes Our people in believing
that Ellensburg and Kittitas valley
Will have square deal at the hands
OF the Milwaukee railroad; we will
certainly be on the map, and there
is every reason for believing that
Mr.. Haynes is capable Of setting
forth our advantages in manner
that will attract attention and pro-
duce practical results.
The c., NJ. & St. P. folder will
De awaited with much interest by
our people, now that they have an
mixing as to the place we are to
occupy in it.-Capital.

They were discussing the law Of en-
tail-the English law bequeathing tho
bulk of the family property to the
eldest son.
There is 80 per cent. of logic in
that law" said physician, land If the
family property went to the firstborn,
whether son or daughter, the law
would contain 100 per cent. OF logic.
For the first born child Is practically
always the best-best in brain, in

Brief in Pure Food Law.

General GOWN, attorney for the
packers, has fled q brief with the
pure food commissioner In which he
contests the Interpretation put on the
pure food law by the commissioner.
General Gown expressed the opinion
that where meat packages are not
stamped at all with the weight, the
law has not been disobeyed. But IL the
weight is stamped on the package in
correctly, then the law has been vio-
lated. He calls attention to the ma
tional law and the laws Of other states
which are like the national law in this
respect. and these provide for the
stamping of the net weight when the
contents is set out in the weight, he
says. The law Is for the purpose of
preventing deceit, said General Gown,
and II the weight is not stamped on
the package, then deceit Is not prac-
ticed. AS for stamping the weight of
ham on the outside wrapper, the
brief says Il Is practically impossible,
as the meat constantly shrinks. The
wrapper is put around the ham to-
gether with the oil paper. the brief
said, to prevent II from spelling, and
when thus wrapped is guaranteed for
thirty days. Otherwise the purchaser
buys at his own risk.

GOOD STGWED FRUIT
SOME APPETIzlNe WAYS OF PRE-.
PAIRING IT.
Delicious and Heathful Luncheon
Desserts--for Pears, ounces, Ap-
pies, Prunes, Rhubarb or
the Cranberry.

Fruit when stewed is considered by
cd of serving it, 1t Is a favorite with
children and makes an excellent des-
sert for luncheon. All specks and i'm.
projections should be carefully re.
moved with the point Of q sharp knife.
Boiled rice is often served with many
varieties Of 1t.
Stewed Winter Pears.--Pare and
boil them until soft. To one pound OF
fruit put one-quarter of pound of
granulated sugar, one pint Of water;
stew until tender, then let them stand
at one side Of the range until clear.
The strip should be thick. Keep COW
cred while cooking. A few cloves are
generally added and are a decided i'm
provement.
Stewed Quinces.-Pare, core and cut
the ounces into quarters, put them
into a preserving kettle and to each
pound of fruit add three-quarters Of
pound of sugar, with water sufficient
to dissolve 1t. Set the kettle over a
slow fire and let them simmer until
perfectly soft. These are only fit for
immediate use. They can be eaten
with bread and butter, or cream.
Stewed Apples.-Select tart apples,
pare, quarter and put them into a
stewpan with half a pound Of sugar to
each pound of fruit and water suffi-
cient to moisten the sugar. A few
slips of fresh lemon peel may be add
ed. Boil until quite tender, but not
broken.
Stewed Prunes.-Wash and put into
pipkin with sufficient boiling water
to cover, allow to stand for two or
three hours to swell, then place on the
fire in the water in which they were
stepped. Let them simmer slowly and
when cooked sweeten to taste.
Stewed Rhubarb.-Take the tender
stalks of rhubarb, remove the skin and
cut the pieces one inch in length,
stew it in little water with half a
pound Of sugar to one pound of rhu-
barb. Season with the thinly cut rind
of a lemon.
Stewed Cranberries. Pick over
carefully and take out all that are de-
fective; wash thoroughly, and place
over the fire, more than covered with
water; cover the saucepan and stew
| until the skins are tender, adding
more water IL necessary. Add one
| pound Of sugar for each pound Of
cranberrles, simmer for ten or twelve
! minutes, strain and put them away in
bowl or. wide-mouthed crock; keep
them covered.

The State Capital
Matters of General Interest
=srsz==s..===== FROM ==z======
Nebraska's Seat OF Government
commlssIon or the Court.

A letter was received from Passen-
ger Traffic Manager p. s. Eustis Of
the Burlington informing the railroad
commission that the new cream rates
promulgated to go into effect on No
vember / must await judicial determi-
nation by the Chicago federal court.
Mr. Eustis says the Burlington would
gladly place the rates on its tariff
sheets, and, in fact, had the new sched-
ules already prepared, but for the or
der of the federal court Now he In
dicates there is nothing to do but to
let the courts decide.
This presents an actual conflict be-
tween the federal court and the rail-
road commission, and it Is certain the
commissioners will at oGce take steps
to enforce their order. No restraining
order of any federal court has been
served upon tho board. and they are.
of the opinion that the order of Chi
cago federal judge on the Burlington
has little weight in Nebraska under
the circumstances. A notification to
this effect will be sent to Mr.. Eustis,
and then the battle-ground will change
from Chicago to the Cornhusker state.
This Is practically the first order OF
the board that has gone far enough to
enable test of this character, and
that Il will be made Is certain unless
the Burlington changes front and de-
cides to enforce the new tariff on
cream. For each offense on the part
OF a road in disregarding an order Of
the commission the penalty fixed is
a fine of not loss than $1,000 or more
than $4,000, and officers and employees
of the road involved may be fined
from 500 to $500 for each offelse
These provisions are certain to be
| used. and prompt action on the part
| of the commissioners may be looked
for.
Later-Notice was received Friday
by the railroad commission in the
shape of telegram from Traffic Man
ager P. s. Eustis of the Burlington
that his road would enforce the new
cream rates in Nebraska beginning No
vember 4. Friday was the time fixed
by the commission for the new
charges to be elective. While on
the face Of the situation the attitude
of the railroad appears favorable, the
members of the board will take steps
to secure evidence of violation of their
order should any occur. This means
that II TIE commissioners ascertain
that cream is being shipped at the old
rate the road 30 offending will be
amenable to the state courts for VIC
lation.
The st. Joe & Grand Island road at
first accepted the new cream rates,
and filed its schedules with the board,
but later withdrew the new rates. Civ.
ing the same reason as the Burlington.

Preeoelous Children.


All those intrusted with the care OF
the young are faced by grave prob.
lem in the case Of children who inherit
or display precocity. The guiding to
maturity OF the simple, normal child,
who passes naturally from stage to
stage OF its development, is n compar-
atively easy matter. The trouble is
largely that the nature of precoclty
is not understood. Most parents, for
example, hail the signs Of 1t with de-
light, and do all they can to foster
them. They treat precoclty as gold
mine, to be worked for all 1t is
worth" but here they make a great
mistake. There are several types of
precocious children, presenting vary
ing degrees of peril to the training
system, and this peril is greatly
lessencd by capacity to classify the
types. There are certain children,
born OF healthy and intellectual stock,
with fine physiques. They inherit
usually very active nerve-centers,
which imply, among other things,
quick and eager brain processes.
These children are hailed with justice
as the legitimate towering OF their
heredity, and then all concerned, in.
GLIDING. of course, the poor child It.
self. hasten to work havoc with the
fair prospect by cruel and short
sighted system of forcing. These chill
dren, being naturally strong and well.
can bear an enormous amount OF the
system without breaking down, but
they do not make the men and women
they would have made under wise re-
straint. They should be kept much
with other children, noticed little by
their elders, interested in physical pur-
suits, and nodded into symmetry by a
persistent holding back. There may
not be much wrong with the child
who reads the Greek Testament at
four years of age but there is certain
ly something wrong with the parents
who let him. There Is another very
different type of precccious children,
says the Youths Companion. These
are the offspring often of equity or tu-
berculous parents. and inherit, If not
actual disease. at least faulty ply
siques. They are often beautiful en-
gaging children Of great mental bril-
lance. They often have phenomenal
memories which are developed at the
expense of all other mental faculties
They are not physically strong enough
Cor any sustained effort, and after a
brilliant childhood they exhaust them
selves and become commonplace
These children should be made to lead
physical lives, every effort being di
rectcd to form good constitution.
country life Is almost necessity In
their case, and the mental develop
ment should be made as gradual as
possible.

To Clean Old Silver.

From a box Of old jewelry laid away
and forgotten was taken the other day
a sterling silver pin of oriental filigree
work as black as the proverbiaI hat.
The usual silver polish did not take
effect quickly enough to satisfy its
owner and she dropped it into a small
pan of hot water with a pinch OF
bicarbonate of soda and boiled it for
a quarter of an hour or thereabout.
Then she scrubbed it with soap and a
brush and 1t turned out lovely dull
silver tone. If 1t had been boiled long.
or or theee had been more soda in
the water 1t might have been brighter,

Overcharges by Railroads.

Secretary of State Junkin Is of the
opinion that overcharges have been
made by the railroads on all packages
of books sent to county clerks. The
total sum thus realized Is estimated
at about $500. as such packages have
been sent to each county. Mr.. Junkin
has received letter from the Burling-
ton agent at Mullen stating that the
charges on the rejected house and SEN
ate journals were 48 cents instead of
80 cents, as at first reported. Mr..
Junkin has ascertained that the
charges should have been Is cents in
stead of 48 cents.
