FOR MURDER OF HENRY RANKIN
Otto Hsldeman Arrested on Evidence
Extracted from Others.

Mystery still hovers Ger the Rankin
murder case. However, the apparent
hull of interest following the horrible
crime has been succeeded by marked
awakening within the last week. and
again the case is the leading subject
of the community.
This is occasioned by the arrest last
Saturday of man named Otto Halde-
man who, after preliminary hearing
in Justice Hankin's court. was com
mtted to the county Jail to await trial
in circuit. Exapiination was waived
and bail denied. The arrest and com
mitment were based on testimony gath
cred from other parties arraigned in
Justice court.
Circuit court being in session Halde-
man was arraigned yesterday before
Judge Clementson He pleaded not
guilty to the charge of murder. but
was returned to the care of the sheriff
to await the next session of the circuit
court, which will likely be a special.
The prisoner not possessing any means
and desiring a defender, the court APP
pointed E. c. Fielder as his attorney.
Haldeman is a comparative stranger
in Mineral Point, having been in the
community less than year. He is a
young man and unmarried, and what is
termed Swiss-German.
District Attorney Treweek and Mar
shall Thrasher have quietly and diligent-
ly applied themselves with the hope of
clearing up the murder-mystery, and
their efforts have brought matters to
the present status. The outcome is
eagerly awaited.

on uniform rules of lumber classified

"Tvcm the nearby country hundreds

the butchers will probably charge
more. Dressed turkeys will probably
sell at 25c per pound or a little more

Take two quarts of thickly clab-
bered milk and pour into it a quart Of
boiling water. Let it stand for ten
minutes or longer, then put into per-
fectly fresh cheesecloth bag and drain
over night. The next morning rub
this cheese to a smooth pulp and
press through a rather coarse sieve.
Salt to taste, add gradually a half tea
spoonful of thick cream, pack into
small jars or cups and stand away in

end of that time scrape off the top
and turn from the cups for use.

and spent it in corralling works of
art. Old musical instruments had
been his most cherished foolishness,
and in the end had dealt the pickle in
dustry a shattering blow.
but out of the wreck he had pulled
the yellow violin; in spite of hunger,
cold and the lack of human sympathy
he had continued to hang on to it.
I'm going to work tomorrow
says he, and l figured on getting the
instrument out in a few days. Other
wise 1 could not have parted with it.
This violin is priceless example of
the genius of Guaranerius. 1t is a
trifle cracked in the back, it is true,
but that does not affect its tone in the
least. But the injury has halted my

which some ignorant person placed
upon it, and which hides the delicacy
that the art of the great Josef gave to
the instrument

Being down and almost out myself,

CARE OF THE srLvERwARE.
Only Little Trouble to Keep 1t in
Perfect Condition.

Shining silver upon snowy linen is
beautiful, but it takes trouble to keep
it in good condition. The furnishing
of silver does not by any means indi-
cate that it is of poor quality; on the
contrary the finer the silver the more
quickly it becomes discolored.
Silver kept in room with open gas
burners or coal stoves keeps it's bril-
liancy for short time only. Tarnish-
ing can be prevented by having the
pieces lacquered; but the lacquer,
though serviceable for ornamental
pieces and toilet articles, cannot be
used on the table service. The lac
Querad ware can be kept in excellent
condition simply by busting it lightly
and carefully and about once a month
wiping it with soft slightly dampened
cloth. Never allow these pieces to
become wet.
The silver that is used daily can be
kept in excellent condition by wash
ing thoroughly in soft warm water
and soap every day. All such silver
should be washed well every second
week. In doing this be careful not to
put several pieces in the pan together,
tCr this causes dents and scratches.
Rain water or water that has been
boiled is the best to use. Make a
heavy suds with pure soap and add a
few tablespoonfuls of ammonia A
soft sponge is most suitable for wash
ing silver, and fine brush may be en-
ployed on the chased pieces or around
the handles.
After washing the silver well in the
ammonia suds rinse in clear cold wa
ter and let it stand for a few min
utes. If any polishing is necessary it
can be done at this time. Common
whiting, wet with alcohol and rubbed
on with a soft flannel, makes an ex-
cellent polish. After polishing wash
well again.
Finally dip all the pieces in a bath
of boiling water and dry with a very
soft cloth. This last dip in the clear
boiling water does much to prevent
further oxidation.

Watercress Jelly.

An odd flavoring for gelatine, from
an American standpoint, is watercress.
A German housekeeper declares it
makes a delicious variety, much ap-
preciated by her family.
The gelatine is made in the usual
way and while still hot the juice Of
three or four large handfuls of fresh
watercress is poured into it.
Pound the cress in a clean mortar,
add half glass of cold water and
squeeze in a jelly bag or cheeseclotb
to extract all the juice.
If the plain taste of the cress is
thought too insipid the juice of one
lemon can be added.

What is known as "the shouting of

when Apollo was worshiped in Eng

signifies a chaplet worn around the
head or carried suspended on a pole

always accompanied wearing a chaplet
