which it is built and the care it re-

be dry, that is there should be no per-
ceptible dampness. When eatables are

Generally if a cellar is five feet under

two and half feet above grade the
cellar will be cool in summer, will not
freeze in winter and it will be neither

Peanut Meal is Good.

Peanut meal has been for a long
time staple article in the dietary of
the poor classes in Spain. Bread made
from pure peanut meal is light and
porus, but it is said to be unpalatable
because of persistent poppy-like
taste. Rye bread containing rs per
cent. of peanut meal cannot be dis.
tinguished from ordinary rye bread,
while far more nutritious. Skim-milk
cheese is the only ordinary article Of
diet comparable to peanut meal in its
percentage Of heterogeneous matter.

Goebel was shot January 30, 1900,

Gounds. The fatal bullet is allegeu
to have come from the Office of

charged that he loaned others the

Powers denies this and declares he
had nothing to do with the shooting.
Powers charges that the juries here
tofore trying him have been com.
posed mostly of democrats, and that

siderable new testimony is expected
to be brought out at the coming

BOOZE DISPENSERS
MUST Be CITIZENS

Hereafter an applicant for a saloon
license in this city must swear that he
is full citizen of the United States
and state of Wisconsin, that he Is a
resident of the City of Madison and
that he has never been convicted OF
an offense against the laws of the
state punishable by Imprisonment.
Notice that change in the License
law has gone into effect has been
promulgated and applications for
saloon licenses will be made to con-
form thereto.
Heretofore the applicant for license
did not have to be a citizen of the
United States and it is said that there
are several saloon keepers in the city
who have not taken out their second
papers" The laws in effect previous
to the passage of this last regulation
did not make it obligatory that the
applicant be even a resident of the
city.
The clause in the statue providing
that the applicant must swear that he
has never been convicted of an offense
punishable by sentence to the state
prison is another step towards the
ideal of the legislators.
