The farmers Of Magnolia Township,
Putnam County, Illinois, have equipped
a $4,000 schoolhouse to take the place
of several old-fashioned schools The
more distant pupils are brought to
school each day by two wagons, at the
cost Of 9 cents per pupil daily. Four
teachers are employed, two in the
grades and two in the high school
branches, which include domestic
science and agriculture. The lowest
wages paid to any teacher is $50 per
month and laboratories are provided for
the searching of science. The pupils of
this school are lacking none of the ad-
vantages that are given the children in
town. The school, Of course, costs more
than the old-fashioned school, but eco
nomic advantages can be readily seen.
In the well-settled rural districts it is
possible to consolidate four or more dis
tricts and the fact that transportation
is provided for those who live consid-
cradle distance from the school cuts
down materially the savings and results
in conducting one school where four
were previously supported.

Legal Information
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

By the laws in force in the Indian
Territory an action at law may be in
stituted against a person usurping an
office, either by the State or by the
party entitled to the office This Is in
lieu of scire facias and quo warranto
or an Information in the nature of a

decision of the Court Of Appeals Of the
Indian Territory in Re LIE Bosquet v.
Myers, 1O3 Southwestern Reporter, TO,
the statutory provisions apply only to
public officers, and not to proceedings
for the custer of officers of a private
corporation.
The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York, in

ma and Western Railroad Company,
152 Federal Reporter, 269, holds that
shipment from New York City to Buff
falo by way Of New Jersey and Penn

that, therefore, the giving Of rebates
on such shipment violated the inter-

In order to protect the levees in the

known proclivities Of hogs to root, and
thus weaken the levees, the Arkansas
Legislature has provided for the sum-

destruction Of property, may authorize
this to be done sulnmarily in cases
where the property is Of no great value

According to the decision Of the New
York Supreme Court in Brooklyn Dis
filling Company v. Standard Distilling
and Distributing Company, 1O5 New
York Supplement, 264, the New York
antitrust law does not fnvalidate a
lease of distillery to corporation or
ganized to create monopoly in the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic and
spirituous liquors. even though the
lessor knew that the motive Of the
lessee in taking the lease was to create
a monopoly. The court takes the posi-
ton that the law does not prevent a
person from buying or leasing property
in furtherance of the creation of a
monopoly. The controlling point with
the court was that the lessor did not
in any way become party to the Tile
gal combination or participate to any
extent In the scheme to avoid the law.

snort Suggestions.

SnOIN SuooCOeAV0Os
Cold cereals can be fried the same
as mush; serve with gravy.
Nickel may be kept bright by being
rubbed with wool saturated in ammo
mia.
A weak solution of turpentine poured
down the water pipes once week will
drive the water bugs away.
A teaspoonful of butter put into the
water in which vegetables are boiling
will prevent them from bubbling over.
Rub the white spots made by wet or
hot dishes on your polished tables with
spirits Of camphor. 1t will remove
them.
When brushing room, sweep toward
the fireplsce, otherwise the draft from
the chimney draws the dust in that di-
rection.
Take iron mold out Of marble thus !:
Wet the spots with lemon juice or with
oil of vitriol, let it remain for a quar-
ter of an hour, then rub dry with
soft cloth.
Sweet apples will cook better and
have a more delicious flavor If little
lemon juice or pure cider vinegar il
added.
If lettuce is kept for several hours
it should be laid on wet towel and
placed on the cellar floor or In the
refrigerator.
A recipe for paste that will never
dry or turn sour Is one teaspOOnful Of
powdered alum and ten drops Of Glove
oil, added to pint Of smooth, thick
paste.
Table or any other linen that is
stained with raw egg should be well
soaked in cold water first, as the hot
water would set the egg.
Picture wire may be used instead Of
tape to gather curtains on. Double
back the end and the wire will run
smoothly. Curtains run on wide do
not sag in the middle.
Try wet tea leaves as a means Of
destroying cock1oaches. Just squeeze
these with the hands and lay on sheets
of paper near the hearth when shutting
up for the night. The cockroaches go
to the leaves and the tannin kills them

THIS Is A FAIR FOR LOVERS
How the Maids Of Luxembourg Choose
Their Future Husbands

HOW the Maids Of Luxembourg Choose
Their Future Husbands.
Every year, on the first Thursday In
december, the peasants of the province
OF Luxembourg flock into it's chief town,
Arlon, In char-a-bancs, carts and every
other description Of vehicle in order to
attend the "lovers' fair" The young
people strike up acquaintance, while
tnelr parents exchange condolences as
to the possibility Of match. The
young men, who invariably are dressed
In their best black clothes, offer pres
ents to the girls of their choice and
even go so far as to claim a formal
engagement. These operations take
place openly in streets, in houses of re-
freshment and in the public gardens.
All this. however, is only prelim-
mary and Of but slight interest COM
pared with what follows, says the Kan
sas City Star. If two young folks be-
come mutually attracted at this "fair,''
the respective families apply to a mar
rage broker, or, as he is called, "a holy
Aheh' L Ills peTSOu becomes the non

OF both contracting parties. He makes
himself acquainted with their exact so
c1al position, their habits of life, their
tastes; transmits these details to the
''other side," indicates how housekeep-
Ing may be best started on the given
conditions in short, he "fixes up the
marriage. These brokers or holy men
are generally counted as first-rate
trenchermen and wine swallowers.
All the same, they are held in consid-
cradle esteem by the two families, at
whose tables they are accorded the
place Of honor.
A month later-that is to say, on the
first Thursday in the New Year-there
Is second "fair" at Arlon. Here the
lovers formally plight their troth the
families give their mutual consent to
the union, and the broker receives his
remuneration consisting Of a commits

PASADENA, Oct. 2S.-Work will be
begun Oh the new Christian Science
church next week by a Los Angeles
contractor. Tt will be erected on Oak
land street, one block below Colorado,
at a cost of $154,0O0.
A plaster model of the building as 1t
will appear when completed is now on
exhibition at the present church, and
shows that the new edifice will be one
of the architectural features of the
city.
1t is designed by Franklin p. Burn
ham of South Pasadena and Los An
geles in the style of Greek Ionic archi-
lecture 1t will be built entirely of re-
inforced concrete in such manner as
practically to make it monolith. The
exterior will be surfaced with white
French cement.
The lot on which the building stands
is 1S0x16S feet but the structure will
cover nearly the entire land.

ported by d cantilever arrangement
different from anything now in use will
crown the church, its summit being lis
feet above the street. At this height
its whiteness will cause it to be con-
spicuous landmark and the architect
asserts it will be seen from Redlands
in clear weather.
The contract requires completion OF
the building by November, 1909.
The interior will be fitted up in the
most modern manner, although a sim
plicity in harmony with the severe
classic outlines will prevail. The main
floor will be nineteen feet above the
ground and reached by an imposing
fight of steps extending across the
front of the building.

DARK HORSE FACTOR
IN 24-HOUR RACE
Additional Entries at Post Probable.
Event Promises to Be Success
full, but Records Are Not
in Danger

Postponement of the 24-hour race
seems to have been the best possible
thing that could have been done to
make the event a success in point of
numerous entries. Hardly a day passes
but what new car is put up, and now
it looks as though a field of ten would
not be improbable.
There is constant talk OF a. dark
horse which most of the entrants and
those wise ones along gasoline row
discredit, but the writer has seen the
car, and that it will enter at the post
is almost a certainty.
1t will be a real contender, too and
will stand a first rate chance to be in
the money. The real reason that the
promoters cannot divulge the name of
the car is that the things upon which
the entry is contingent will not be
ascertained definitely until just before
the race starts. To name the car now
would bring at least three other cars
which are not considered at all at
present, but those promoting the game
are afraid to say a word, as the in
formation has been kept so close that
any leak would be traced and the pos
sibility of entry be eliminated.
The track, If given sufficient rolling
and sprinkling, will be a fair one, al
though, it is not expected that any
records will be smashed. There have
been numerous small bets placed as to
the mileage that will be made and as
to how many cars drop out before the
end of the first half. The distance esti-
mated varies all the way from 800 to
975 the lower figure having been men,
toned by very optimistic one who
mas an advantage to gain by passing
out the optimistic talk.
Thirty-fiVe miles an hour is probably
the best speed that will be averaged
for the whole time, but that some miles
will be reeled off close to minute in
the last hours of the race is undoubted.
F. The cars that are the fastest are the
ones most likely to have delays from
tire trouble and when they go back
on the track they will undoubtedly
burn up the oval trying to regain the
laps that have been piled up against
them by the ones who stayed in the
running.
crowd will be made so that eatables
and liquid refreshment will be avail
able during the entire time.
The race will start promptly at a
o'clock Saturday afternoon and the
time will be up at 10 o'clock Sunday
night. That will allow three stops of
two hours each in which to water the
track and repair it.
Wheels with demountable rims and
tires for the Studebaker car will arrive
today by express. Adams and Harry
Lord of the local agency will drive
with a probable third man to relieve
during the last part of the race, as
Lord does not want to drive, on Sunday.
