The venerable DR.. J. R. Miller pass
ed away last Saturday evening about
6 p. M. from the infirmities Of old
age, he being S3 years old. He was
man that knew no enemies and
many saddened hearts were weeping at
his funeral, which was held from the
Presbyterian church, conducted by
Rev. j. NJ. Leonard, former pastor of
his church here, and Rev. Frank Nc
Cav of Keokuk, and the present pas
tor, Rev. Stillman, and Rev Foster
of Keokuk. Iowa The church was
inadequate to hold the immense
crowd of friends who might all be con-
sidered mourners, as everybody loved
and revered old Dir. J. R. Miller.
The Christmas festivities were not
engaged in at the Presbyterian church
in respect to DR.. Miller's sickness and
death He was one of the organizers
of the Presbyterian church here in
the fifties, and has always been a
jealous worker for the Master, who
has taken him to his reward.

TELEPHONE GIRLS
ARE REMEMBERED
Police Department of the City Re
members All OF Them With Boxes
of Candy.

Even if Santa Claus did happen to
forget some of the telephone girls of
the city, the police department of the
city does not and as a New Years
gift, every telephone girl in the city
this afternoon received a box of can
dy from the blue coated department.
The girls do a lot of work for the
police at all times Of the day and
night and the department appreciates
the same. Policeman on their beats
call up the station every fifteen minu-
utes all during the day and night and
this makes little extra work for the
girls.

To Cake Potatoes.


Baked potatoes are a staple article
of diet in most families. They are IN
expensive and easy to prepare. Yet
constantly as they are used it is rare
to find one we'll baked-tEc skin is
either burned o. the contents are not
mealy.
Do not have the ovea too hot for
baked potatoes. If they are Gone in a
moderate heat fer a longer tine they
will be more evenly cooked.
Pricking the snail end OF a potato
with a fork before putting it in the
oven will keep the skin from bursting.
A German cook noted for her deli
cious baked potatoes washes them
carefully, then rubs the skin with
pure lard before putting them in the
oven. They. are much more delicate
and tender all through when so
cooked.
A pleasant variety in baked pota-
toes is to skin them when raw, rub
them over with a creased paper
dipped in butter and baked in the or
binary way.
In serving baacd potatoes they
should be passed On a folded napkin,
and taken with the fingers rather than
with q spoon.-New Haven Register.

The Good Peach orchardist.

We plant q crop Of corn. cotton OF
cabbage every year and do not COM
plain because we must plant every
time before we get any harvest; but
most CT us complain loud and lons
because we cannot put out a budded
peach tree and have it bear a harvest
yearly for a long time. The real fact
is, that if we should spray AID trim
peach trees carefully, thin the fruit
thoroughly, take time enough to de.
stroy the borers that may attack it
and get no more than three crops be-
fore a tree died. a budded tree that
bore choice peaches would yield a
handsome profit. We could AFFORD to
uproot the old tree, and plant a new
orchard early enough to take the
place of the old one. That is what
peach growers expect to do in sec.
lions where peach growing is e thriv.
ing industry.

Dreamed fruits are made by Dip

SUGAR PRODUCTION.

The semi-offcial statement as to
the sugar production in Cuba during
the season of 10000 shows that III
mills were operated to make the great
output Of 1O,595,O72 bags, or 1,513,-
582 tons. OF these mills 43, or about
25'per cent, were American, either by
actual ownership or incorporation.
The production Of these American
mills accounted for about 40 per cent
Of the whole output, thus confirming

reach a total Of 100000 crates. Of

The balance of the crop will come

Notes Of Interest TO Planter,
Fruit Grower and S4ockman

sets in: We think that grass may
often be seeded by itself adyanta-
geously, especially if the ground is
not particularly rich. Land that Is
foul with weeds and trash should hrst
be summer fallowed and sown in
cowpeas to be utilized for green man
,ure. They will also act as a smother
crop and hold weed growth in check.
