When the banks were unable to

Jefferson City, Dec.-There will be

crat, has been for some time crying
that such step will be necessary to

In anticipation that there might be-
come deficiencies in some OF the ap-
propriations. Governor Folk, fol.

ments not to draw on their appro
priations for certain stipulated sums
unless the money should be available.
This reduced the appropriations
about 100000 and will keep the
funds within the necessary limits and
fhere will be no reason to call an ex.
ira session of the legislature for that
purpose. The Republicans are
hnxious for another extra session at
heavy expense to the state, so that
Fhey can use that to good advant-
fge in the next campaign. Governor
Folk says also with reference to the
prohibition amendment proposition
that the Legislature is composed OF
(he same members who were here at
9TH the regular and the special ses
hon and they were decidedly oppos-
pd to submitting such amendment
kt that time, and 1t stands as q log

Senator Gore comes to Washing.

orator OF more than ordinary abili
ty. Stories have been told here oil
how he trained himself to speak by
years OF unremitting effort at coun

cieties where he proved himself more
than match for all opponents In
spite Of his intirmity. As young
man he organized a moot senate In
which furious debates occurred.
The new senator lost both his eyes
when he was boy. When he was
eight years old one eye was knocked
out by an angry playmate with a
stick. Three years later an arrow
from a cross bow destroyed the sigh,
Of the other eye.
Much OF the credi. OF the success oil

First item to be considered to In

tunity, after hogs are In the proper
condition, that will be cold enough
to drive out the animal heat. See TO
1t that no hog Is heated or excited
before it is killed. Thoroughly clean
the hog both inside and outside af
ter killing, cut up the meat immedi-
stely and salt Ii while warm, lying
each piece on separately and let 1t
lay over night, The following morn
Ing knock OF all the salt put on the
previous night and salt down and
cover in box, so that the light and
insects cannot get into It. Let the
meat lie from a month to six weeks,
after which prepare a large kettle OF
hot water and then put therein
ground red pepper until the water is
strong with Is, and dip all the meat
therein several times, and thereafter
hang up In the smoke house to dry
and cure.
For four weeks build and main.
tain a smothered fire In the smoke

"The meat being cured, place each
piece in a larger paper sack, sur
round the meat with hay and hang
up, the sack being impervious, In

will prevent mould and at any time
after the meat Is 80 treated 1t will be
