was nothing to disclose how the
robber had gained access to the
ROOM. No window had been
forced so far as could be ascer-
tained and entry through the
lower floor, which was occupied
by the family and servants, was
an impossibility. The intruder
would have been seen or heard.
The tracks in the snow if
they were made by the robber
indicate that he may have climb
ed to the roof of a porch and
entered the upper story through
a French window opening into
Mrs. Keith's room. The door
disclosed no sign of having been
forced, however. -,

Thieves Violate Sanctity Of the
Sabbath

AT the early morning hour Of
three o'clock when Triplett citi-
zens were snugly ensconced in

burglarious disposition cracked
the vault Of the Peoples Bank

about $500 in cash, mostly silver.
They broke into the door of
the Farmers Bank first, but
went no further there. They

sition under all conditions for

who lives across the street from
the bank. He saw the trouble,
secured his 22-caliber target
rifle and took a few shots at the
burglars, four in number, who
thereupon left, in rigs. The

nections at the bank before they
went to work and it was diff

MAJOR INAUGURATED
Jefferson City Scene of Usual
Festivities

The 34th Governor of Missouri,
the peoples choice by the great
est majority ever given a candi-
date for that Office in the state,
and a former state officer who
made good, was iaugurated at
12:15 p. m. Monday in the per-
son of Elliott W. Major. The
immense crowd that witnessed
the ceremony in the temporary
capitol building was nearly
thrown into a panic by the crack
ing of plastering and creaking of
joists caused by the great
weight, but experts declared the
structure safe, and quiet was
restored.
At the last moment General
Major completed his work as
Attorney General and was escort
ed to the Governors mansion by
Governor Hadley and from there
to the House of Representatives
by the Governor and the new
staff and a number of senators
and representatives, where Chief
Justice Henry Lamm of the
supreme court administered the
oath of office and one among the
very plain but capable men of
the state became its Governor.
John T. Barker, attorney gen.
eral; Edwin P. Deal, treasurer;
John P. Gordon, auditor and
Cornelius Roach, secretary of
state were also sworn in.
The new governor wore a gray
Prince Albert suit and gray tie
to match, and his wife, who sat
Immediately in front of the in
augurating party, one of the
happiest expressions of her life.
Gray moss was the simple and
only decoration of the great hall,
and republicans present saw the
plain symbol of the permanent
return of moss-back democracy
to power.
The inaugural ball was a grand
affair, but unpretentious from
the exclusive stand point, dig
nitaries from the supreme court
to the representative from our
county circulating on charming
official, intellectual and social
terms. A large number of dis
tinguished people from st. Louis,
headed by Governor Francis and
wife, were on hand to do honor
to the popular new executive,
and it is asserted that no func-
tion of the kind in years has
been freer from stilted formali-
ties or a greater success in any
particular.
Miss Felice Lynne, the charm
ing young opera singer from
Slater, Mo. stood on the stair
way between the first and Sec
ond floors and sang The Last
Rose of Summer and Coming
thru the Rye, and the big mill
tary band played a number of
selections tolerably we'll and
Dixie splendidly, and the beau
ideal Coils. in $3.50 gold braided
suits and side arms in front and
behind. stood like patience on
one foot in the mud, in their
own and everybody else good
graces. Oh, it was great, with
the cause of it all sauntering
about in the plainest rigging on
exhibition and as much at home
as he would have felt at a corn
shucking.
Governor Majors inaugural
address has been heard by all
who heard him during the cam
paign. He stands on the same
platform and will put in his time
doing the things he advocated
while a candidate. What more
can we ask or expect? Here's
to his health, prosperity and
performance and eternal con-
fusion to his enemies.

White-Burnhanl

gives the following account un-
der date Of Thursday, january,
of the wedding Of Eugene White,
of Chicago, to Miss Faie Burn
ham, Of Norfolk, the wedding
occurring December %.
ION Saturday night at 7:3O at
the Trinity Episcopal Church,
Miss Faie Burnham, only daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. E. Burn
ham, was united in marriage
with Mr.. Eugene G. White, of
Chicago, the Rev. F. H. Blunt,
pastor Of the church, reading
the marriage lines. The pretty
ceremony was witnessed by
about $50 friends. The church
was decorated with evergreens,
southern smilax and with pink
and white roses. Mrs. Braden
directed the decoration and the
effect was more than usually
pleasing, great ropes of the smi-
lax marking the pews. Miss
n
Marian Stitt played the wedding
march. Little Elaine Mayor and
tiny Elizabeth Huse in charming
little dresses of white hand en-
broidered null over pink silk,
with big pink bows in their hair
and looking like a pair of Christ
mas fairies or sweet angels come
to earth, carried dainty baskets
lof great pink and white roses
which they scattered in the path
way of the bride who, supported
on her fathers arm, never look
ed more handsomely regal than
in the beautiful creation of white
charmeuse veiled in chiffon with
real lace and trimmed in pearls
and rhinestones. The dress is
made with court train and is
quite the handsomest wedding
gown ever worn in Norfolk. She
wore a tull veil with a wreath Of
orange blossoms and carried a
shower boquet of lilies of the
valley and orchids. She wore
no ornament but the diamond
lavalliere, the gift of the groom.
Mrs. Frederick E. Beaumont,
better known in north Nebraska
as the former Miss Luree Bee
mer, was matron of honor and
was perfect in her handsome
gown of pink brocaded char
mense, en- train, with an elabo-
rate slip of lace and trimmed
with rhinestones. She wore a
pink and plush hat with plumes
to match. Benjamin Binford, of
Chicago, was best man and B. C.
Gentle and S. G. Mayor were
ushers.
Following the ceremony a re-
ception was held at the Burn
ham home. There were about
sixty guests present. The deco
rations at the house were in
southern smilax, pink pepper
berries and pink and white roses
Tho flowers were used in mounds
andthe chandeliers were twined
with the smilax. Great clusters
of pretty pepper berries trans
formed the Nebraska home into
a California garden. The pretty
cut glass basket with its inn
mense cluster of pink and white
roses on a handsome white lace
dolly made the dining table the
feature of the prettily appointed
room. Assisting throughout the
rorrns were the Misses Matte
Davenport, Laura Durland. Ma
rian Stitt, Helen and Marian
Wayland. The Vogst orchestra
played sweet soft music in the
spacious hallway during the re-
ceiving hour. The bride pre-
scented the little flower girls with
silver napkin rings in the shape
of wedding rings. Pretty spoons
were presented by her to those
whom assisted at thereception.

BoiIinn Ham

An elaborate way Of boiling ham is
as follows: After soaking and cleaning
it thoroughly, put 1t into a large pot.
Cover with cold water and boil gently
for an hour. Then take it from this
water n cover 1t with stock, adding
a Glove of garlic, two carrots, one
onion, six peppercorns, three cloves
and two bay leaves. Let 1t simmer
slowly for four hours. Then put it in
a large stone pot and strain the boiling
stock over it. If it Is to be eaten cold.
1t is not really necessary to add the
garlic or yer the stock. Plain water
with the ~seasonings given, will cook
the ham deliciously.s OF course it is
better with the stock, and as the stock
may afterwards be skinned and used
for soup, this is not an extravaganza.
Some cooks recommend boning and
stuffing a ham. The cavity where the
bone has been is stuffed with bread
crumb dressing, such as is used for
turkey. Every crevice in the ham is
filled with the dressing.
Here Is n way, highly recommend
ed of ornamenting a Christmas ham :
After stuffing, glaze the whole with the
white of an egg. Dredge the entire
surface with bread crumbs of varying
sizes all the way from finely powdered
crumbs to those the size of a corr
kernel. Sprinkle cream over the
crumbs and put the ham in the oven.
When the crumbs are brown put the
ham on a large dish with a piece of
curled paper twisted around the hook
end. Decorate the platter with green
parsley or watercress. Serve with an
accompaniment of currant jelly.
A well known Boston cook gives the
following recipe, which ought to be
very good: Soak a 12-pound ham ever
night in cold water to cover. Wash
thoroughly, scrape off the hard skin
near the end of the bone. Put it in a
kettle with half a u each of sliced
onion and carrot, two sprigs Of pars-
ley, half a bay leaf, four cloves and
five peppercorns. Cover with cold wa
ter and simmer for about four hours
or until tender. After two hours cook
ing add a quart of cider. When the
ham is entirely done let it cool in the
liquor it was cooked in. Then take off
the skin and sprinkle with sugar anC
bread crumbs. Put dashes of paprika
over the surface of the ham about tive
inches apart. insert a Glove in each
dash; then bake in a slow oven fol
one hour. Serve with cider sauce. Tt
make this sauce measure out three
tablespoonful of butter, four of flour
four of cider and two cupsful Of han
liquor. Melt the butter, add the -four
then gradually the hot ham liquor. Add
cider, salt and pepper.

SHORT COURT
Term AT STEELE

Steele, n. D., Jan. 22.-Court open
ed Tuesday with no jury on deck, as
none had been provided for although
there are several held over cases.
Only one attorney, John Gnauf, of
jamestown, was ready for trial of his
case, and 1t had been the impression
that these cases would hold over till
appearance on the bench in Kidder
would adopt A rule, to be observed as
nearly as possible, that the calendars
should be cleaned up of old cases, as
that is the best way to keep the
calendars all over the district n
hampered, and the work disposed of.
Finding nhe Kidder calendar not
promising to be tedious in trial, he
ordered an adjournment and will be
here again when the jury is ready.
Judge Nuessle is making his initial
appearance on the bench in Kidder
county, and is we'll received by all.
1t is felt that he will make a capable
official, and that the work of the bench
will proceed smoothly, as has form
erly been the case. The county fur
nishes a remarkably light calendar
at all times and probably has less
bench work than n in the state.
