Court Rejects
P1eanof guilty
Declines to Accept it from Joe White,
for Whom He Appoints a
Lawyer.

Joe White was altogether too obliging,
according to the tale he told in district
court Wednesday. one evening while
slightly lit up, White, by his own story,
met a stranger who was carrying some
bullion up the street. He asked White to
help HIM, for the bullion was heavy.
White took hold and just then the police
came along, the stranger fled and White
was arrested. In spite of all this, White
was willing to enter a plea of guilty, but
the court refused to receive it and APP
pointed a lawyer for him,
Charles Wilson and Harry johnson
pleaded guilty to breaking into a building
and stealing a quantity of copper wire.
They were let off with a slx-month Jail
sentence by Judge Sutton, on account OF
their youth. George Williams was given
two years FOR stealing lead. A previous
conviction initiated against him.

FLORENCE ASKS SWITCH FEE
Material Dealers Want Tariff Changed
to Help Them Out.
OBJECT TO HAULING FROM OMAHA
Improvement aud commercial clubs
Adopt Resolutions witch They
VIII Forward TO Omaha Road
aud state Commission.

To enable Florence material dealers to
do a legitimate business instead OF having
all the lumber, coal, cement, stone and
brick hauled from omaha, the Commercial
club and Improvement club Of Florence
have adopted resolutions asking the omaha
railroad to put In a switching tariff in
stead of a tariff rate of ? cents. per hun
bred pounds.
The resolutions have been forwarded 10
the traffic department. of the Omaha and
+. S. Tucker was Instructed to place the
resolutions before the state Railway com.
mission. s.. p. .....v .,., SIS
The resolutions set out that ears are
switched to South Omaha, Council Bluffs.
Albright, Avery and other suburbs about
Omaha at a rate of s. per, carload, also
that the Omaha road now switches ice and
coal between Florence and Omaha for s.
per car.
The Improvement and Commercial clubs
refer to the fact that prior to January /.
1907, the city Of Florence had a .com-
modify rate which enabled dealers to ship
lumber, lime, coal, coment and other ma
terials from Omaha to Florence for s. to
S. per car, but since that time the dealers
have been paying 22eents per hundred
pounds, making "A car shipment cost from
50 to s4 more than the former rate or thar
the switching rates 10 points whero the
service performed Is no greater.
As a result OF the failute OF the Omaha
road to make a IS or SO switching rate to
Florence the business men of that suburb
claim the materials for building there are
all hauled to Florence by wagon and that
the wagon haul has been Substituted al
most entirely for rail hauling.
The resolutions passed by the CONNER
cial club were also adopted by the Flor
ence Improvement club at a meeting Of the
organization held Tuesday evening. h. c,

Concerning Women.

There are few decorations for women
in Europe, the most ancient order COM
ing from the Austrion throne. 1t is the
decoration of the Star and Crucifix, and
is given to woman of high rank. An
other is the Luisen, founded in memory
Of the beautiful queen of Prussia whom
Napoleon insulted. This order is given
to all classes of women who commit
any great self-sacrifice.

Cranberries.

The cranberry is the least understood
and the most abused of any of our do
nestle fruits. Comparatively few know
their possibilities. Quite as few know
how to prepare them in palatable
FORM The expression is common:
"You need a barrel of sugar for bar
rel Of cranberries." This is not true
They are not sugar consumers COM
pared with most fruits.
If users will make the test, they will
discover that more sauce with less SUI
gar proportionately can be made from
a quart of cranberries than from a
quart of any other kind of berry, and
if properly made will be tempting and
toothsome. barrel of sugar Will
sweeten more than three barrels of
cranberries. A cranberry shortcake
will compare favorably with a straw
berry shortcake. Eaten raw, they are
a laxative and liver tonic and, like the
olive. one can cultivate a fonOness for
them.
Cranberries are keepers, like the APP
pie, and like apples, require a cool, dry
place. 1t is economy to buy good Der
ries Never cook in tin or iron ware,
use porcelain, earthenware, or granite.
Do not cover with cold water and allow
to simmer steep and stew over slow
fire. This makes tough skins, pale,
sickly pink. or dark, dull red COLOR and
gives acrid flavor. Use boiling water,
cook rapidly and not long.
For good sauce, to one quart OF
clean cranberries, add one PIN granu-
lated sugar; one pint boilin 2 water,
o1aoa imnediatelv over brisk lire, STIR
ring enough to mix sugar with water
and coat berries; cover as soon as ber-
ries begin to swell and ''pop," stand by
and mash against kettle until every
berry is broken. Keep them boiling
during this operation. BY the time Der
ries are all mashed, or having boiled
to Is minutes, remove from stove and
turn into china or earthenware dish.
When cold, this should be beautiful
rich red, jellied sauce.
