Veteran Acquitted.

Corunna, March 20.--Vernon was
very much agitated over the trial of
A. C.. Emens Tuesday and the small
court room of Justice Barritt proved
much too small to accommodate the
listeners.
Some time ago William Dean, a
barber, in Vernon accused A. G..
Mmens, an old soldier, ~ years old,
of stealing IS worth of lumber. The
trial was called at 10 o'clock and
long before that time the populace Of
Vernon turned out to hear the trial.
They filed up the court room and a
large number were even glad to get
standing room on the sidewalk.
Attorney Fred Northway appeared
for the defendant and Prosecuting
Attorney Joseph II. Collins for the
complainant. After much delibera-
ton the jury brought in the verdict
of not guilty.

The Kitchen Sink.

1t is never wise to allow the kitchen
sink to remain soiled and greasy, but
in summer the small particles quickly
decay. and the result is not only un-
healthy, but is a menace TO the
health.
To clean the kitchen sink. wash it
thoroughly with ammonia and warm
water. Common sulphate of iron dis
solved in the proportion of one pound
to four gallons of water and poured
over the sink will make it quite clean
and sweet.
Useful Tips TO the JeIlymaker.
Use good fruit which is a little un-
derripe.
Use the best granulated sugar.
Do not make large quantities of
| jelly at one cooking.
| Heat the sugar in the oven before
adding it to the fruit juice.
If the juice must be boiled down
| always do so before the sugar is add
/ ed.
The jelly will be clearer and finer
not stirred during cooking.
Do not allow the syrup to boil
rapidly, or crystals may appear in the
! jelly.
Always make jelly on a bright. clear
day.
Wash the jelly glasses in hot water
and set them on a folded cloth wrung
out of hot water.
Set the jelly in a sunny window for
twenty-four hours. then cover with
melted paraffin and set in a dry, cool
place.

ROOSEVELT FAVORS
SOUTHERN man
JOHN NJ. PARKER. NEW ORLEANS
DEMOCRAT. Is ROOSEN
CHOICE FOR CHAIRMAN.

. OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Special.-The
suggestion that a SOutherner and a
Democrat be chosen as permanent
chairman of the national progressive
convention was approved last night
by Colonel Roosevelt who said. on his
return from New York. that John NJ.
Parker, of New Orleans, a Democrat,
who was named by Senator Dixon as
the probable chairman. was his choice.
although, he added, il will be of course
the work of the convention itself to
select the man.
Since the announcement was MADE
that former Senator Albert J. Bever-
idge, of Indiana, is to be temporary
chairman, Colonel Roosevelt contin-
ued. he has received many letters and
kilograms from delegates to the con-
vention expressing the belief that as
Mr.. Beveridge is a Northerner and a
Republican, a Southern Democrat
should be permanent chairman.
1t is Colonel Roosevelt's intention to
use his influence to have the Chicago
convention give equal recognition to
all parts of the country as far as pos
sibie, and 1t is for this reason, he said.
that the suggestion of Mr.. Parker's
name appealed to him.
