al fuel by the farmers. With the ex.
ccption of the more or less artificial
use OF turf already referred to, these
are the only uses to which peat is ap-
piled in Ireland.
The methods OF preparing peat for
fuel are very primitive and would
have to be changed completely to
make peat fuel real competitor with
coal. An attempt was made some
years ago to make turf briquettes. but
the scheme. though it promised we'll.
did not turn out as successfully as
was expected and the company, like
the turf itself, crumbled to pieces. The
moisture was squeezed out Of the peat
by compression and the briquettes
when fresh seemed to be just the
thing that was wanted, but whatever
defect there was in the preparation OF
them they were not able to stand the
knocking about they got in the rail-
road wagons and canal boats.
The problem of making peat
briquettes that can travel by train
without falling to pieces has. however.
since been solved in Sweden and in
other countries and this fact has given
announcement to Irishmen to take
the matter up again. Tho coal strike

Anchovy Found In Large Quanti-

are anchovies; for Enkhuizen owed
a great part OF its prosperity to the
anchovy ffheries.
1t is generally supposed that the
anchovy Is caught exclusively in the
Mediterranean sea, SO 1t comes as
surprise to most people to hear that
1t is SO largely caught of the coasts
Of Holland. Dutch fishermen have
been familiar for ages with the fact
that the anchovy comes up in great
shoals at certain times OF the year
and enters the Zuyder zee to spawn.
There have. however. been consider
able lapses of time when no anchovies
at all appeared, and when it was
feared that the Dutch fisher folk had
lost their means of earning a iveli-
hood, then, sudd emily, without any ap-
parent reason, the shoals OF fish again
became regular visitors. These last
few years the anchovy has been par
hcularly plentiful. Many a Zuyder zee
fisherman has made his living for the
whole year during the anchovy sea-
son, which lasts from six to eight
weeks, and as much as 1000 fiorins
($40O worth have been known to be
taken In single day.
Formerly the method OF capturing a
shoal of anchovy consisted in stretch.
Ing an enormous net with small mesh
es between two boats. This net
touched tho hot
boats hoisted sail and the more wind
there was the better pleased were the
fishermen. They sailed on for a while
ana then when the net was lifted 1t
contained thousands Of silvery fishes.
Later on they preferred to fish with
stationary nets. because more fish
could be caught in that way. Each
nsnerman places his own nets in a
certain part OF the sea, and after a
while comes to see whether they have
been filled with fish
The anchovy brings plenty OF work
Tor many another category OF persons

packed into casks. The cleaning is
done almost exclusively by women and
children. the sailing occupies the
salter' and the making OF the many
casks employs a little army OF COOP.
ers Then the packing is also done
by experienced hands in such a way
that the anchovy can be kept for many
years without spelling.
The herring fishers also often Sc.
cure millions of anchovy near the
coasts OF Holland. For as soon as
they perceive shoal coming thei1
way they will fix anchovy netting into
their herring nets, and so often Sc
cure almost miraculous hauls.

of the fire. remove superfluous grease

Clip green peppers In the same way,
cutting these almost to threads Put
these in large bowl, add some canned
asparagus tips carefully drained of
liquid. two tablespoonfuls Of chopped
chives. and four tender beets cut In
thin slices. and then throw in the ten
der hearts Of two punches Of celery,
these split into four. Use French
dressing, olive oil. salt. pepper and
lemon Juice. This salad should be
kept cold as ice before serving.
Salted Almonds.-Shell two pounds
OF almonds and then boil them five
minutes; remove skins while stilG
warm. This is how the almonds are
blanched. AS soon as they are peeled,
sprinkle lightly with fine table salt.

COUNTY POLITICS
County Candidates Paid $1,274
to Committee Last Campaign.
Now Two Committees Ask AS
sessmentS-What Each Paid.

1t cost the Republican county can
didates a net total of $1,274.4O two
years ago in assessments paid to the
| county central committee, to be elect
ed to office, according to a report of
F. NJ. Bonebrake, treasurer of the
committee, on file in the Office of the
county clerk. The original assessment
aggregated $1,770, of which 2S per
cent later was returned, leaving the
net balance mentioned
In addition to the money paid to the
committee every candidate made an
individual campaign which, in most
cases. was expensive. 1t is this sort
of an assessment that the candidates
are facing, except that it probably will
be asked by both Republican county
central committees this year and
which the candidates may refuse to
pay.
The sheriff paid the heaviest assess
ment $275. The lowest assessments
made were on candidate for the Iegis-
lature, who paid $25 each to the com
m1ttee. The money was used in ad-
vertising. etc, and in sending out cir
culars for the benefit of the candi-
dates
Candidates for county offices doubt
this year that such work on the part
of the committee will be of avail, and
that is one of the reasons why they
may decide not to pay any aSSeSSm ents,
The personal campaigns will have to
be made just the same, and the addi-
tfOnal burden of assessments bv the
committees will make matters that
much worse for the candidates who
have to bear the load.

sheriff, was assessed S275 The refund
amounted to $77 leaving a balance
paid of $19S.

bate judge, was assessed $3.50 The

handed back $56, leaving a balance

KILL WICHITA Man
Mexican Rebels Also Declare
War on Railroad.
Cavalry Distributed So as to
Guard Entire Border.

| Washington, Sept. 19.-The murder
of another American citizen, George
Reterman, a blacksmith of Wichita,
! Kan, is reported to the state depart
ment as having been committed at
Ousihuriachi. Mexico, on the night of
September Is.
The department also has informa-
tion of a raid on the ranch of c. K.
Booker, an American living at Naco-
zari. Mexico. The rebels carried off
all they wanted.
The navy department reports the
arrival at Tampico of the Des Moines.
TampicO is a hOtbed of rebellion and
it was from that point that the navy
had once made arrangements to take
off the United States embassy and 9TH
er American citizens in case of riot
and anarchy in Mexico CITY The Des
Moines is the first vessel to visit a
Mexican port officially since the ban
on such visits was laid under the pre-
vious revolution.
The war department has informa-
tion of the junction of Generals Sala-
zar and RojaS in northwestern Chi
huahua. General Rojas has declared
war against the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company and has advised its Off
cials that he will attack any of the
trains that are bearing any assistance
to Madero. General Wood has re-
ceived word that the squadrons of
cavalry recently sent to the frontier
er the whole line. 1t is expected that
large force is to be stationed within
easy call in case of any future attack
on the Southern Pacific property in
Mexico.
The state department or the depart
ment of justice have not been asked
by Madero to surrender Orozco,
senior, and the close advisers of Gen
eral Orozco who have been captured
within American territory General
Wood ordered the prisoners to be sent
to Maria, Texas. where thev are un-
der military guard with the exception
of privates who have been disarmed
and let go.
There is, no question regarding the
answer of this government to any de-
mand for extradition. The treaties be-
tween Mexico and the United States
do not provide for the surrender of
political prisoners except where it can
be shown that the prisoner made an
attempt on or threatened the life of
the Mexican president. If Mexico
should ask for the extradition under
the pretext of any other crime
charged, the prisoner would have a
right to a hearing before the courts
in the United States.
