Bar Association Will Try to Keep HIM
Out Of the Office.
Sioux Falls, S. d., Nov. 81. = Is
George W. Egan, an attorney eligible
to the office of states attorney of Min
.nehaha county, to which he was elected
at the recent election notwithstanding
that a few weeks before he had been
disbarred by the state supreme court?
An action just commenced in this
city will determine this interesting
question. The Minnehaha County Bar
association, which pushed the disbar-
ment proceedings against Egan, has
selected George j.. Danforth, one of it's
members to commence and prosecute
an action having for its purpose the
preventing of Mr.. Egan from qualifying
as states attorney. The papers have
been served 1t is contended that Mr..
Egan is not and was not at the time of
the election eligible to the office Of
states attorney.
Mr.. Egan, on the other hand, con-
tends that his disbarment will not pre-
vent him serving as states attorney.

Mt Pleasant, Nov. 21.--Mr. D. c.
Curl, of Oakland Mills, small town
five miles south of this city, mys-
teriously disappeared over five weeks
ago, leaving his wife and six children,
since that time. He left with consid-
cradle money on his person, and foul
play is feared He is a man of temper
ate and sober habits, and much devoted
to his family, and no reason can be
given for his strange absence. He left
home about five weeks ago, saying that
he was going to Burlington to look up
location, and since that time not q
word has been received from him. His
wife has become very much alarmed,
and some time ago the police at various
places where it was thought he might
be, were notified. but no clue to his
whereabouts has been found.
Curl is a blacksmith by trade, and
lived at Knoxville, until a few months
ago, conducting a blacksmith shop
there. At that time he moved to Oak
land Mills, where he has been working
with his father. That he should de-
liberately stay away without letting
his family know where he is. is not
thought possible by those who know
the man. Before this, when he has been
away from home, he has always writ
ten often, and when at home has been
a kind and affectionate husband and
father. Since the strange disappear
ance Of her husband, Mrs. Curl has
been spending considerable time with
her niece, in this city, and naturally
is much worried over the matter Much
sympathy is expressed for her and her
six children.

Making Coffee.

No coffee should be boiled. The
secret is to bring it to the boiling
point, then keeping just below that
degree of heat to extract the flavor of
the oils without fear of changing it's
very nature by boiling. Use a pot
that is shining and spotless inside as
we'll as out, preferring the white
enameled lining, with the ~nosepiece
to retain the steam. The rule is one
tablespoonful to each cup, with lone
for the pot" This method requires
the shell of an egg at least, or a small
portion of a raw egg. The true agent
for clarifying lies in the inside skin
of the egg shell. or in the white of the
egg. Wash all eggs before breaking,
when the shells may be saved for use
in making coffee. Be careful not to
use too much egg, as it coats the
coffee, making it impervious to water.
This is a principal cause for failures,
and is wasteful, as more coffee is
needed. In a family of four, one egg
should be divided to use for making
coffee four times.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.

II saw former United States Sena-
tor William NJ. Stewart, of Nevada, in

ticed that he still clings to boots, the
only footgear he has worn ever since
his early manhood" said R. C. Bixby,
of Denver, at the New Howard.
Nowadays you will not find one
man in 5000 who wears boots, unless
it be in mining camps or out on the
cattle ranges of the West. My mem
DRY goes back to the time when ever
in the old settled States of the East
boots were in as great demand as
shoes, and boys of from eight to
fifteen years, especially, gloried in
them. Recollect the first pair that
your parent bought for you, the kind
with red tops and brass-rimmed toes,
and how proud you were?
well, even in our section boots
have about gone out of ordinary use,
except among the cowpunchers. The
stylish cowboy still disdains shoes.

Her Age.

The late Senator Platt, of Connec-

could tell a good many himself. Not
withstanding his long public life he
always remembered a yarn that he
carried from his school days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one of the teach
ers, in making a record of the ages
of her pupils, as required by law,
found that one little girl, who came
from a family not noted for being
especially bright, vas unable to say
when her birthday came.
So, in order to complete her
records, the teacher walked two miles
to see the girls mother one afternoon
after school. Asked if she could re-
member just when her daughter was
born the woman thought for some
little time, and then with a sort of
puzzled look, said:
well, the gal was born in later
time, that's sure, but l can't member
whether they was a plantin' on 'em
or a-diggin' on 'em."-Boston Her.
