Saratoga chips (Anti-dyspeptic).

Most dishes requiring deep frying
are denied the dyspeptic because they are
usually fried in lard, and lard does not
agree" The following recipe will be
welcomed by those of poor digestion:
Peel the potatoes and slice thin into
cold water. Drain well, and dry in a
towel. Fry few at a time in hot Cotto-
lene Salt as you take them out, and lay
them on coarse brown paper for a short
time.
The above recip, can be followed
without the least fear of disagreeable
after effects. The chips will be crisp
and dry-not greasy, as when fried in
lard. Cottolene contains no hog fat,
but is made of purest vegetable oil it
is recommended by physicians generally.

On the Light Question.

Pretty dark these nights. Over a
month has passed since the vote for
n municipal plant was taken and
there seems no evidence of any start
In the matter, so that a great many
months may elapse before there are
any street lights. In the meantime
there is said to be n strong proba-
bility that the present plant will be
obliged to close down, because the
residence lights do not pay the run
ming expenses. This will entail great
hardship, especially on the churches
and public halls, which will be
obliged to put In II large number Of
coal oil lamps to secure any light
at all This is phase of the ques-
tion that has not been considered,
and 1t seems there ought to be an
effort made on the part of the
property holders to secure some
street lights for the next year dur
ing the building of the plant.

APPLY FOR WRIT
OF PROHIBITION.
Ask That Order OF County Court for
Special Election Under Local
Option Law be Set Aside
COURT SUSTAINS
LOCAL OPTION ELECTION

The local option contest in this
county took new turn last Friday,
when Messrs W. :. Anthony and
+. A. Ru2ier, as attorneys for G. +.
Rickus, Sam'l Pcrringcr and George
NJ. Wilson as REALTORS or plaintiffs,
prepared petition for writ Of pro-
hibition by which they are striving
to prevent the local option election
from being held. The first two re-
lat0rs are saloon keepers and the
latter Mayor Of tn" City of Farm
ington.
BY their petition the REALTORS claim
that the County Court called the
election throughout the county, and
by so doing judicially determined
that the City Of Pennington did not
at the time have 100 or more in
hnbitants, whereas in truth and in
fact, as was subsequently shown,
the city had something over 200
inhabitants.
The petition further declares that
the order o. the County Court call
ing the election is "all wrong" from
start to finish, void and Of no legal
effect.
The petition further relates that
the notice is wholly defective for
seven or eight material reasons.
1t is further related that the pc
tition filed is wholly insufficient in
law, hcraus" it rccitcs that there is
no Incorporated town in the county
having 800 inhabitants.
Judge Killian granted the REALTORS
leave to file their petition and caused
notices tq be- issued and served on
each individual justice Of the County
Court to show cause. on Thursday
February 2Sth, why they should not
be forever prohibited from holding
or causing to be held the local option
election.
The Court room was crowded yes.
tcrday morning with men and WON,
en-, all intensely interested, when
| Court was called to order, aud the
proceedings were entered into with.
out delay. The principal contention
was that the County Court should
have taken actual notice of the fact
that the City of Pennington had AT
| the time the order of election was
made 900 or more inhabitants,
Judge Killian held that the last legal
census of Pennington, taken Fcbru.
ary 4th, 1901, shows that the City OF
Pennington had only 2,ljS inhabi,
tants, and in passing upon the sub
mission of the Local Option qucs
tion to IA vote, the County Court was
bound by the last census. Therefore
as matter Of law the City Of Farm
ington did not have 1900 or more
inhabitants, and must vote with the
county. The Court thereupon de.
clined TO prohibit the carrying on ot
the election, thus sustaining the Lo.
cal Option people.
The attorneys for the rclators
gave informal notice that they
would or might take an appeal. The
case was closed at p. IN.
Quite large crowd of people came
from Bonne Terre and Flat River to
attend the case and they were enter.

efnor Hughes is not renominated their votes
will be divided between Bryan and tho Inde-

because they feel that Governor Hughes IL

will try to control the convention and NOM
mate some puppet $whom they can easily
control
We younger fellows Of the coming ganara-
ton do not intend to 90 the slaves OF the
party around election time for the sake Of
party loyalty. Party loyalty In the past and
to q large extent to-day means advancing the
interests Of a few individuals. the bosses OF

want laugh In their sleeves.
With such mon as Governor Hughes to keep
alive the spirit that II now taking possession

long enough to reach the election OF 1850 In
New York State. when boss ridden. cook
sure OF victory Republican State >conven-
tion brought upon its party Q crushing de-
feat. and the wishes Of the people were
expressed by plurality Of over ie2 900 votes
for the Democratic candidate.
History repeats itself often. and times are
ripe this year for repetition Of iss7. Every
morning paper affords ample proof that
reckless machine drivers speed to their own
destruction as well a. that Of the machine
they drive but do not own. These besoggled
cha uifeurs Of the Republican machine. Tim.
Bill. Mike and their like, had better learn
the wishes Of the owners, the people. and
drive slow. lest the machine skid, turn turtle
and lose them the race and their precious
hides as WELL
Charles, E. Hughes Il more the man Of the
people to-day than was Grover Cleveland In
1882. and any other candidate for Governor
will prove a millstone around the neck Of
the Republican national ticket and give the
Democratic party an opportunity that it
would be worse than hiotio not to take ad-
vantage Of and profit by.
