Hoopes et ux, vs. Ryan et al. This matter came on for hearing on the complaint of Mr. Hoopes against Mr. Ryan for a violation of a water decree rendered several years ago, in relation to the waters of Elkhorn creek. De- fendant’s. counsel, Mr. Cowan, interposed a motion to dismiss the proceedings on the ground that the action could not be maintained under the title as prosecuted at this time. ‘The matter was en- titled under; the original titlo of the action as shown by the decree. Defendants’ counsel also demurred to the complaint or affidavit upon which the proceedings was based, because it would not warrant a conviction, Caunsel for relators and defendants argued the matter, and relators’ counsel moved for permission to aniend, the title of the proceedings so ns to read “The State of Montana ex rel, W. P. Hoopes & M. R. Hoopes vs. Edward Ryan et al.”’ The court took the matter under ad- visement until Nov. 10th in order to enable rghetors’ counsel and defendants’ counsel to furnish briefs upon the questions in- volved. In the case of the State of Mon- tana, vs. Herman Keyes, Mr. Stranahan moved for an order of court Withdrawing all of the ex- hibits which were. used -upon the trial, and also for an order tarn- ing over the cash found upon the person of the defendant, to Mr. Reynolds, the prosecuting wittness. Mr. Hay, representing the defendant, opposed the turning over of the cash to Mr. Reynolds, because he maintained there was not sufficient evidence to warrant such action. The court took the matter under advisement. In the matter of settling and allowing the statement on motion for a new trial and bill of excep- tions in Sponheim, vs. Driscoll, the court set November 15th at 10 a. m. as the time for hearing the same. a John Foliis, of Canadian birth, and John Linn,a artive of Sweden, were made full fledged citizens of the United States. 2: ..The court granted probate orders and petitions, and ad- journed court until, November 10, atl0a.m, | ‘ Well-Equipped Candidates. Miss Alma Kriger of Basin was one of the Whitehall visitors Wednesday. She has not the appearance or a politician, but she was looking for votes just the same. She is the republican nominee for county sttperintend- ent of schools, and hasbeen en- gaged as a teacher at Wickes, Cotnet, and is at prevent teaching at Basin. “Miss Kriger came fron Michigan, her home state, abou! a year and ahalf ago. She isa pleasing little Jady_and,_.we-are informed, is well qualified for the position she is asking for at the hands of the voters of the county. Francis Miller, the democratic nominee for superintendent of schools was in town last Saturday Miss Miller is a most agreeable lady to The state of Montana, ex rel., | faith may be at variance with hers. From’ what we have been able to learn of her we believe her to be amply. qualified for the position she seeks, and should she be elee- ed we feel sure that she will per- form her duties faithfully and well. Miss Miller has been in Montana four years, having come from the Empire state, and has been teaching. for more than a year in Boulder. We are in- formed that she has_life certifi- cates for both, Montana and New York: on R. THE CunN Beat Time to Cat Fodder—Pothts of Handlingg the Crop. Extensive experiments to determine the best time for cutting corn have hinthvee}®l. CARE OF UMBRELLAS. flow They Should De Rolled and Drained, A handsome umbrella is well worth taking care of, and to do this requires beerrconducted at the Ponnsylyania | a ‘litte thought and good judgment, station at one time and another, and the results are remarkably uniform, all pointing to the advisability of-al- lowing the corn to become quite well matured before cutting and shocking. In every experiment the amount of | dry matter Increased very rapicly att- er growth had apparently ceased. This increase takes place inthe grain, Prac. tleally these same conclusions were reached in. Maine,. The large growtng yarictics of the west should, according President John Mitchell sont of- ficial notice to the miners in the an- thracite region, Tuesday night, to report for work Thursday morn- ing, and of the decision to refer the questions at issue to the com- mission appointed by Bresident Roosevelt for adjustment. Upon receipt of the message announcing the action taken by the miners’ rep- resentatives, président Roosevelt | twelve hill shock is the favorite. In to the Malye station, be harvested be- fore they are quite inature, but flint corn should be allowed to stand until well ripened. . Cutting and Shocking, Other things being equal, a large, shock should be planned for, espectal- ly in the wesf, where there is less dis- position to house the fodder. A shock sixteen hills square is the favorlge tn most sections, although jn some local ities where thé corn ts very heavy a says the Philadelphia Record, In roll- ing an umbrella instead of twisting with handle take bold of it just above the points of the cover ribs. These points, naturally lle evenly around the stick, Keep hold of these, pressing them tightly against the stick, and then roll up the cover, Lolding the ribs prevents them from getting twist- ed out of place or bending out of shape, Then the silk ia bound to fold evenly aad roll smooth and tight, yhen an umbrella’iias been out Ip a rain, it should be placed to drain’ fin- mediately” upon your ‘return’ to the house, and it.shoukl be drained in the position in which ove carries an ane brella. To do this place the bandle of the umbrella On a smal! sting that will hot retali the drippings, and there Iet it remain until thoroughly dry, If placed upside down, the tholstureewil soak into the leather ut the top and life of the umbrella will be greatly the east and north shocks are seldom more than eight bills square. The cli shortened, Many persons are extremely fond of having handsome handles for thelr | umbrellas, and this very pleasant fad stimmoned the arbitration commit- mate also bas something to do with T ay be carried out without very great tee to meet in Washin ston today. SUMMER DESSERTS. tow to Make Seme Delicious Hot Weather Dishes. Frozen desserts are the only sort that deserve recoguition when the mercu- ry is soaring toward the 100 mark, and in them the housewife has: wide range. In all well ordered kitchens the freeser is one of the Indispensables, says the New York Tribune, and housewives and cooks have both learned that its processes are more expediious than the ordinary ones of cooking. The blended juices of currants and raspberries make a delicious sherbet. Boll together for twenty minutes a quart of water and one and a half cup- fule of sugar, When the sirup bas partially cooled, add to it one and a half cupfuls of currant juice and one | cupful of raspberry juice. When it is! cold, freeze. Frozen red raspberries and currants fre deliciously tart for a hot day and are casily prepared, Mash a cupful and a balf each of currants and rasp- berries, cover them with the juice of two Iamons apd a pound of sugar and let them stand aon hour or two; them add a plut of cold water nnd freeszo. To freeze peaches peel, stone and mash the peaches and break three of | the stones and mash the kernels, Bo!l | together a pint of water, a cupful of | sugar and the kernels for six minutes. Then strain, and when the sirup is cold add the peaches and freeze. Tea ice cream is a favorite in some | quarters. it calls for a tablespoonful | of the choicest tea, four cupfuls of | cream, the yolks of a half dozen eggs and one and a half cupfuls of sugar. | Scald the cream in a double boiler, turn In the tea, cover and let It stand | five minutes. Then strain, and when it i cold add the yolks and sugzr,} bring it nearly to a boll, then cool and freeze. | How to Clean a Straw Mat. | To clean a white straw hat buy a | small quantity of salts of !®on and | dissolve it tn a pint of boiling water. | Then take a soft brush—nallbrush will do niccly—and wash the bat with the liquid. When clean, rinse thoroughly in cold water and put In the air to dry. A sailor hat should be allowed to Gry on a board or table, for thus the brim will be kept flat, and, of ‘course, the drying must be in, the shade, since wet straw very easily becomes sunburned. How to Pick Flowers. It is the pride of every gardener oc- casionally to give a bunch of flowers of his own growing to friends who come to visit him, but unhappily both flowers and bunch are often spofled in the course of preparation. Flow- ers should never be broken off from plants with the fingers. If the stem is at all tough the plant is dragged at and injured. Neither is the use of sc‘s- sors desirable, says Ilome Chat. The best method of plucking is with the aid of a sharp knife, and the stem should not be cut straight across at right an- gies, but iu a sianting direction. In “making up” the bunch, too, the best and most striking blossom or blossoms should form the center and they should be added to from outside, the bunch being turned around at loter- vals. How to Make Peanut Sandwiches. An addition to the 5 o’clock tea table is peanut sandwiches. Do not roll the nut ments, but pound them in a mor- tar with a little salt nntil they are very fine. Spread brend that has been cut very thin with butter and then | with the nut paste. Place two pieces together and cut the sandwich round or in a triangle. ‘ How to Introduce People: In making an Introduction the man ia always taken to the lady to be pre- | sented, and the formula is, “Miss A.,-| may I present Mr. B.?” says the La- dies’ Home Journal, Where two wom- en or two men are presented the elder | is addressed where the difference is | marked., A girl presents her friends to her mother, but, the mother says, | “Allow me to present my* daughter,’ Mrs. Blank.” A woman should rise when another woman is presented to her unless shes nuch’younger than serself. If a man Is presented, she re- | tains her seat and bows and smiles cordially, Men always shdke hands when introdyced to ench other; wom- | en do so when desiriug to show cape Helena last week. ;* “ Mieet, even though your political | . cial friendliness, , | weather, «ize of shock, ete, the size of the shock. Iv the humid | regions small shocks are wore desira- ble. Care must be taken In putting up shocks, It seems most desirable to start the shock, cutting about one fourth the fodder, allowing It to dry out-thcroughly, then putting on anoth- | er fourth and continuing until the shock is completed, allowltig. at least one day to elapse between cach cut ting. Lf, however, rain coines during the cutting, much more of the fodder will be injured. Great care must be exercised in standing corn about the shock, so that the shock will pot (twist or blow down. Improved Machinery. The corn binder is coming into use rapidly, some big farmers operating as many as ten at one thue. They are 6o | constructed that corn can be handled | even though it Le badly biewn down, | It operates best in corn of medium size. The cost of twine is largely off- pet by the emalier amouat of labor re- quired, for sbocking and hauling, Where the cornu is on the green order there js more danger of it molding un dor the band when placed in the shock than if cut by band. If it Is not prac- tigable to have a corn binder, mauy of the numerous drag cutters in the form of & sled with*eutting knives on ench side answer very well and save much hard work. They are simple and can be constructed at home with the ald of a blacksmith. The old fashioned metbod of cutting with a hand knife still obtains ip many places. Storing the Fodder, The common practice ih the corn belt is to let the fodder remaln in the feld until wanted, This resn!ts In a loss of about 20 per cent, depending upon the Where large slrocka bave boen mude this loss of course is reduced to a minimum. Stacking corn fodder after It bas been thoroughly dried is common where smpall_quantitices are to be taken care of. This also is true In (he Older states where the fodder is stored In Larn. In the big corn growing sections the expense. Handsome handles may be purchased separate from the umbrella and may be adjusted without trouble, provided care ls taken when selecting the handles to secure those. of a sim lar make to the umbrella, In some unm- brellas the screw is fastened to the stick; in others the stick has a hollow place for the reception of the scréw. | In every case It la wise to select an umbrella from which the bandle may be removed, us then the umbrella way be casily packed if much* smaller space than handle {a stationary. necessary in a when (be How to Test Drinking Water. A single test of drinking water . the Melsch séwage test, Fill a clean pint botile three-quarters Cull of the water to be tested, and dissolve in it half a teaspoonful of granulnted sugar. Cork it and set it in a warm place for two days, If during this time it beco.ves cloudy or milky, it is unfit for cdones- tic use —_1f it remains perfectly cloar, it ia probably safe, Be careful that the bottle is absolutely ag clean as you can make ff and the sugar pure. Tiow to Make Delicious Lemonade, Perfect lomonade is not common. To should be “botled together to form a sirup. Allow half « pound of sugar to each quart of water and boll together for five minutes, then strain and stand aside to cool. Allow four good ized lemous, rub two of them with a few lumps of sugar untll they hare ab- sorbed the oll. Add them to the sirup, then ‘extract the juice from all the lemons; remove the pips apd stir into the sugar and water. When necded, add ice and strve very gold in thin tumblers. To make a slightip more elaborate drink add a few crushed strawberries or raspberries, a few slices of pinenpple or a few of orange, as may be In season, Tlow to Remove Paint Statns, fodder shredder and busker is becom ing more and more ‘popular. The firat objection to this machine was that there was difficulty in keeping the shredded fodder. The tendency to mold seems much grenter than in hay and other kinds of rough feed, It has been determifed, however, that this diMficulty can be remedied by thorough curing.—American Agriculturist. | , Whert on Corn Cround. Wherever the turee yenr rotation is practicable but Ute plowing is done for wheat, says an Oblo correspondent in National Stockman. The yields of wheat on corn ground are #9 satisfac- tory In many places that the economy of growing wheat In this way is no longer disputed, The improbability of a higher level of prices, for wheat ou account of worldwide competition makes chenper production imperative, Many farmers would eliminate wheat from the rotation altogether were it not the connecting ink between corn and grass. No other crop serves this purpose quite ag well, Better crops of wheat are grotn on corn ground now than twenty-five years ago. The difference is chiefly due to the better treatment of the seed bed. Then it was the custom to sow the sced broad- cast and cover It with a double shovel plow. The seed could not be covered with a uniform depth of earth, and the surface was left uneven and cloddy. If moisture was deficient in the fall, the wheat would be a failure. News and Notes. The onion outlook is rather unprom- ising, a poor rate of yield and failures being reported from some sections and nothing more than nverage in others. | The large acreage, however, compen- sates to some extent for these condi- tions. Georgia's 1902 pench crop is expected to be a record breaker. The crop is es- timated at 1,500 carloads. Cutting aud ‘curing tobacco pro gressed favornbly, and the crop has generally done well, says the govern- ment weather bureau report. Corn prospects continue promising tn the principal states. | Oklahoma lends in castor bean grow- ing, and the érop is a good one this season. - There Is rouch interest in hairy vetch for a ‘cover crop, but the seed is scarce and costly. !

For instunce, ff the stain is on tho sleeve of a coat, take that garment off and rub the paint against tlie other sleeve. It will disappear and leave no sign. This is easier than aj plying turpentine and exactly as oeffica- clous, but it must be dotie while the paint is still wet. Flow to Mend Lace Cartains. If your lace curtains are badly torn when they return from tthe wash, try mending them this way: Buy some plain curtain net in about the same size mesh as the groundwork of your curt#ins. Cut pieces sufficlently large to overlap the holes, dip cach tn cold starch; lay the curtain on an troning board wrong side up. Place a picce of the net carcfully over a hole and iron with a moderately bot fron ull quite dry. Do the other holes in the same way. If curtains cre pretty long, it Is sometimes, possible to cut a sufficiently large plece either from the top or bottom to do tlie patching. Tiow td Cure Heartburn, A simple and infallible remedy for heeriburn {is to take a half tumbler of cold water Into which has been added half a tenspodnful of carbonate of soda; squeeze the Juice of a small piece of lewon and drink while effer- vescing. ~ i) How to Clean Fine Lace. The surest and quickest way to clean fine lace is to spread it on a clean cloth sewed about.a board, arrange every point carefully and baste it to the cloth, Then go over the lace carefully with n clean linen rag dipped tn hot borax water until all soil is removed; then use clean water to rinse away ail trace of the borax. Sometimes a little thin starch is added to the last rinse water, but that is a matter of personal taste. Put the board and lace in tl sun to dry, cut-away the stitches, te- move the lace, fold it in biue papex ahd lay it awey until needed. eeninegyentenchemne How to Remove Mud Stains on Si.k. Mud spots on silk can generally be removed by rubbing with a. piece of rough cloth or flannel. Sometimes, however, a stain is left where the mud bas béen.
