CLUB SANDWICHES.
according to Parker Quincy Adams,

(hccordlng to 1afKer quincy AdamS.)
Club sandwiches should be made of
thinly-sllced stale bread, bacon, cold
roast chicken and salad dressing, In all
cases remove the crust of the bread, The
bacon should first be broiled and then
laid on a rack In pan, this being placed
in an oven, so that in this way all fat
Is extracted from the bacon and drops in
to the pan. The bacon becomes crisp and
the slices remain fiat for spreading be-
tween the slices of bread, on which, IT
may be said, no butter is used. Dark
chicken is better for sandwiches than the
lighter parts of the fowl, and the meat
.s better roasted than boiled, This work
must be done early enough to have the
chicken and bacon perfectly cold before
It is used The chicken and bacon, the
edges of the later being carefully trim
med, are placed between the slices of
bread with enough mayonnaise dressing
to moisten it all, and this dressing should
Ne added just before the sandwiches are
needed, because, by standing long, the
mayonnaise will liquify and become alb
sorbed by the bread,

Wilder knew nothing about this prayer
service. The first shot sent a shell di-

wanted to silence that battery and blaze

present at the meeting, arose and as

that the firing they heard was our own

WHEN TT IS HOT.

Consider Mr.. Shadrach.
OF fiery furnace fame:
He didn't bleat about the heat
or fuss about the flame.
He didn't stew and worry,
And get his nerves in kinks,
Nor fill his skin with lines and gin
And other cooling drinks
Consider Mr.. Meshach,
Who felt the furnace, too:
He let it sizz, nor queried as
1t hot enough for you?'
He didn't mop his forehead,
And hunt a shady spot;
Nor did he say, Gee! What a dayl
Believe me, it's some hot"
Consider, too. Abednego.
Who shared comrades plight:
He didn't shake his coat and make
Himself a holy sight.
He didn't wear suspenders
Without a coat and vest
Nor did he scowl and snort and howl
And make himself a pest
Consider, friends, this trio
How little fuss they made.
They didn't curse swhen it was worse
Than ninety in the shade.
They moved about serenely
Within the furnace bright
And soon forgot that it was hot
With mo relief in sight"

Where is the candidate whose individ-

Matthias Olson, a farmer living south
east of Rockdale, was struck by a
Northwestern passenger train a mile
east of Deerfeld about 6 o'clock Satur-
day morning and killed. He was walk
ing from London to Deerfield and at
the approach of the train stepped to
one side Of the track. A part of the
cowcatcher struck him, injuring him
internally and breaking his right arm.
The train was stopped and the man
placed in the baggage car. DR.. Olson
of Deerfeld was on the train and made
hasty examination of Olson's injuries
while the train speeded to London. He
was still alive when taken into the de-
pot at London but died within ten min
utes. He did not regain consciousness.
Two bottles of alcohol were found in
Olson's pockets by the train crew. He
lived near Rockdale and was trying to
reach his home from London. He is
supposed to have taken the wrong track
from London.
Olson was between so and go years
of age and has family of five grown
children, Mrs. August Geske of this
city being the eldest.
Funeral services were held from the

GAINESVILLE Suffers a Severe Fire Loss.

Fire which broke out at Gas o'clock
Tuesday evening destroyed the east
half of the row of store buildings built
on piles on the south side of the Mil
waukee street bridge in GAINESVILLE. The
firms wiped out are Archie Reid,
Brown Bros, Amos Rehburg and a
fruit and cigar store, involving a loss
of over $500, 900, being one of the most
extensive fires the city has suffered in
years. Scarcely any of the stocks was
saved from the doomed buildings, but
those of +. J. Bailey and Golden Eagle
clothing store adjoining were removed,
for it was believed for time that
the whole street could not be saved.
The fire departments of Rockford and
Madison were called upon for help but
the fire was got under control about 9
O'Clock and the order countermanded.
The insurance rates on the row were
high which prevented the carrying Of
the usual lines and the losses are there
fore more extensive than usual. E. F..
Carpenter, Geo. Sutherland and the
Myers estate were the owners of the
buildings swept away.

Debate.

On Thursday evening, April 10, will
occur the triangular debate between
the local high school and the high
schools of Stoughton and Whitewater.
The question to be discussed this year
is that of Popular Election of Sen
ators." Edgerton will debate Slough
ton in the local high school assembly
room, arguing for the affirmative
against the team representing that city;
and the negative of the local high
school on the same evening will go to
Whitewater where they meet the af-
firmative team representing White
water high school. The members of
the local team have been spending
months of effort in the preparation OF
these debates and unquestlonably will
be able to present an argument which
ought to make its impression upon a
large audience. Debating work is
rather new to the local school; as to its
value there is no question and the
friends of the school ought to, by being
in attendance at the debate to be held
here, show their appreciation and their
wish to encourage the good work. The
judges for the debate will be secured
from the public speaking department
of the state university and any one IN
attendance may be assured OF a debate
worth while.
