<ENATOE MONEY Of Mississippi has
- lived IS years with a broken neck
and did not know it until the other
cay. Not until he went to a physician
for treatment for neuralgia, from
which he suffered iar years, did he
learn of his real coGdition.
At the first battle of Franklin, in
April, 1863, Mr.. Money was a cavalry
man in the confederate service. While
riding through the streets he was
struck by a bullet hat circled
around his ribs, doing no other in

Money was thrown from his horse
and struck on his head. Being help
less he was captured and taken with
in the federal lines. He did not ask
for hospital treatment, was exchanged
later, rejoined his troop and fought
until the war closed.

Detroit Boy.

Harry's enemy, for the latter bore

all started because Harry Blake had
won the silver medal which DR.. Man
ton, the principal of the Kemp high
school, had offered for the best
original composition. Thomas had set
his heart on winning this prize, and
consequently felt very bitterly toward
Harry, who had snatched the coveted
medal from him.
Mr.. Longyear, the father of Thomas,
was a rich man, and had much in
f1uence in Kemp, while Harry's par
ents were very poor. The money
stringency threw Mr.. Blake out of
work, which proved very bad for his
large family of five. This was Thomas
chance; he told his father that Harry's
father was not honest and that he

Variety at Sea.

For variety at sea, once when we
had been practicing with the six-inch
guns, and were securing" for dinner
hour, we saw a monster spouting of
our starboard beam. We begged to
take a shot at it, and the officer of the
deck, recognizing an impromptu tar
get, gave US leave. We fred two
shots, and the expression, "a sea Of
blood" which I had always looked
upon as an extravaganza of speech,
became a reality. When we returned
from mess the ocean for a mile sur
rounding the whale was red-well, az

A Variation Of Baked Apples.

Peel and slice apples to just fill a
gallon stone jar; add one-half tea
spoonful of ground cloves or cassia
and one-half teaspoonful of soda "a
little more if the apples are very
sour. Shake the jar, so all will be
well distributed through the apples,
then put in the oven and bake slowly
six hours. Turn out, and when cool
it is pleasing to the eye and taste. A
bean pot does very well in place Of
the jar.

Peanut Soup.

Peanuts may be used for a soup,
somewhat resembling bean soup, but
more delicate. Grind the raw hulled
peanuts fine. Add plenty of onions
and other vegetables. When cooked
in this way, the distinctive peanut

Or you may use peanut butter in soup.
It is, however, rather rich.

To the Voters of Nevada County:

It is being circulated over the county that 1 am in this race in the interest of MT. Hood and to defeat Mr. Warren. 1 deny this emphatically, and demand the proof. No one knows this to be false better than the ones who are telling and circulating it.
 l am making this race in the interest of no one except John M. Haltom, and I desire to i'm press upon the minds of my friends and the voters of the county that wild and untruthful rumors of this kind always man age to get circulated in every campaign, and 1 ask that you pay no attention to them. I hired no merchant or lawyer to write letters over the county ad- vising who is best fitted for this office, or who is the strongest man. 1 entered this race upon my own merits, and am willing to abide by the verdict of the people at the primary March p, and should either of my oppo- nents receive plurality of the votes 1 shall support him, and l shall expect that they will do likewise by me. This office be- longs to the people, and it is with them to say who shall fill it for the next two years.
 As previously stated in the papers, l would liked to have met each individual voter, but circumstances are such that it will be impossible for me to see all of you. At this writing have child that is dangerously ill and l feel that it is my duty to remain near her. want you to consider my claims and if you believe that 1 would make you a good and efficient sheriff I ask that you give me your support and influence.

CRIMINAL IS INSANE

Arlington, S. D., Aug. Ross
Thompson, who shot young Gullick-
son at Lake Norden a couple OF years
ago and who recently finished q SEN
ltence in the state prison for his
crime, returned a few days ago to
Lake Norden and insisted upon camp
ing on the Gul1ickson premises. He
insisted upon one Of the family shoot
ing him. He explained that he shot
young Gullickson at the command
Of the spirits and that now they had
commanded him to come back and be
shot himself. After terrorizing the
family for a couple Of days the sheriff
was sent for and the young man will
be sent to the insane asylum.
It is now thought that he was
probably insane at the time Of the
shooting two years ago, as there was
no motive discovered for the crime
at that time. .,3
