To Save Meat.

Editor News: AS this has been bad winter on meat, and hear of so many losing 1t, will send my receipt for frying 1t down. Use as many skillets as you can tend to and fill half full of lard, slice your meat as for table use and fry, but not so brown as for immediate use as It has to be heated again when used. Fill your jar as full as possible then place saucer or plate on top and put on a weight and press down as tight as you can. Set back until 1t cools and then refill, cover with the grease you have been frying in. After frying few skillets full drugs will collect in the bottom. Drain off all the grease you can, set the skillet back on the stove until 1t gets hot, pour water in and let boil a few moments and throw out. Then proceed as before. In salt ing, slice, say crock full and mix the salt thoroughly through 1t, taking care not to get too much. Put hams, shoulders, side meat and sausage all in seperate jars, tie up and label.
 Some will say what an under taking, but better go to a little trouble and save your meat and then you will have some of tie best meat you ever eat to pay you for your trouble, and 1t don't take so many jars as one would think. A gallon jar will hold a big side if packed in tight. Caution: Don't put in tin vessels.

Shocking Death of a Distiller.

Siloam Springs, Jan. 19.-John Osborne, proprietor of the Flatt distillery, nine miles east of here, was found dead in the feed yard at his place at II o'clock yester- day by employees of the still.
 He had walked up an inclined log with pail in his hand to get 1t full of slop for the hogs. A spell of dizziness must have seized him, for he fell to the ground. His head struck face downward on sharp rock. Unconscious and unable to rise, he lay there, his face and mouth immersed in slop, water and mud at the side of the vat. His left temple hit a sharp corner Of the rock, fractur- ing the skull and penetrating in- to his head.
 Thus the unfortunate man smothered and strangled to death. It was not over five minutes after he had been seen until lie was in this condition. When he was raised up he gave two gasps and expired. He was 55 years of age and was raised in this locality. His wife and several children survive him.

meet at noon Tuesday ot next week and formally elect Jeff Davis United States Senator.
 Senator Nance of Benton county has introduced a bill to re- quire the railroad company to run two passenger trains daily between Rogers and Bentonville.
 The 2-cent rate bill passed the house and has been read in the senate once and referred to the railroad committee. Now, we will soon see what's to be the fate of the bill.
 Senator Thompson has intro- duced bill prohibiting pool and billiard halls within five miles of the University of Arkansas, and also bill to prohibit trains from standing on street or road crossing more than ten minutes.
 Before he went out of office Gov. Davis announced the ap- pointment of three new members of the board of trustees of the University. They were C. c. Hamby, Marcellus l.. Davis and H. L. Norwood, succeeding Dou- gal McMillen, Henry Stroup and W. H. Langford. The senate considered the appointments in executive session Tuesday after noon and refused to confirm them on the ground that Gov. Davis should have left the appointments to Gov. Little. who has to serve with them and who Is responsible for their acts. It was agreed to postpone the question until Janu- ary 31, and in the meantime 1t IS expected Gov. Little will send Tn new appointments, which will be confirmed.
 Senator Adams, the self-eon- fessed boodler from Grant Coun- ty, was expelled Wednesday morning of last week, and at the afternoon session Wm. Lambert, of Hot Springs County presented ] himself with 3 certificate of ap- continent from Gov. Davis. Some of the senators were op- posed to seating Lambert, claim ing that the governor had no au- thority for making the appoint ment. Pending the report of committee, which was appointed to investigate the matter. presi- dent Moore ruled that he was en- titled to sit in the senate. The committee reported adversly to Lambert, and Monday the Sem ate, by vote of l7 to 13. voted to sustain the committee, so Lambert's career as senator was short only three days. 1 num- Der of the senators informed 1 Lambert that If he would secure an appointment from Gov. Little they would vote. to seat him until special election could be held.

 "The Bankers Child drew a good house at the Auditorium Monday night. Any production is judged by the manner in which 1t IS received by the public, and judged by this standard "The Bankers Child" was a complete success, so far as the show going people of Springdale are concern ed. We have heard nothing but pra1se from those who witnessed the performance. "Stella,n the bankers child, is certainly clever ehild-actress, and as the name indicates, she was the cen tral figure throughout the en- tire production. Probably the best scene was the one between Stella and her father, when the latter entered the bankers house with the intention of robbing it, but abandoned the idea through the influence of the ckild. About the enly drawbacks were the long waits between acts and the absence of programs. It IS to be hoped that the next enter tainment we have, the patrons will be furnished with program.
