RETURNS FROM
NEW MEXICO
J. C. Coleman Brings Home Many
Boxes of Specimen Soil.
J. C. Coleman who returned Tuesday
evening from a trip to Las Vegas, N.
M., was a caller at the Journal office
this morning bringing with him several
j boxes of specimen soil taken from some
of the land near that city, for which he
is agent. From an examination of the
soil it would appear that it is
a rich
loam capable of producing almost any
variety of farm or garden product. He
had a specimen of the soil taken from
a Point tmrty lncnes Delow tne surtace
w'ch showed the loan
to hat depth at least
down
This
soil was
penetrated by the roots of buffalo grass
which trrows in great abundance unon
the goiL Another specimen is that of
goil taken f rom the surface( it being
thickly covered with buffalo grass the
nK)tg of whJch are matted and woven
into the goil for severai inches in depth.
Mr. Coleman states that this grass
when stamped out is immediately re
placed by blue stem which grows to a
great height and makes a fine and
nutritious hay. He brought back with
him also several specimens of fruit in
cluding apples and pears whicn are
raised in abundance upon this land.
They are of good size and appearance.
He had a potato which was fine looking
and of good size also raised on ihis
land. Mr. Coleman reports much of
the land as being sold at prices ranging
from twelve to fifteen dollars per acre.
He was accompanied upon his trip by
Silas Long and wife who remained for
journey farther south. Mr. Long
was so favorably impressed with the
land that he purchased some of it. The
rainfall in this section is said to be
ample and abundant, and water for
drinking and even irrigating purposes
if desired, is readily obtained at
depth of from eighteen to seventy-five
feet. The wheat which is raised on the
land, judged by the specimen shown by
Mr. Coleman, is of high grade and
quality with a vield of about eighteen
bushels to the acre. All in all, Mr,
Coleman thinks the land about as good
as can be found out of doors. He and
Geo. Ballance have the sale of it.
SETTLEMENT
OF INSURANCE
The Gapen Losses of Monday Promp
tly Adjusted.
The Farmers Mutual Insurance Com
pany of Lincoln, Neb., seems to be
making a record for quick settlement
of losses. Tuesday their adjuster,
Mr. F. E. Lynch, came down and look
ed oyer the remains of the fire at Oscar
Gapen's and immediately adjusted the
loss without trouble or debate. The
company settled with Maria Gapen who
carried the insurance upon the build
ings at $1900.00 and paid Oscar Gapen
$100.00 on the contents. Mrs. Gapen
had a life estate in the property hence
the insurance was in her name. Mr
Lynch also estimated Mr. Gapen's loss
upon machinery, hay, grain, etc., in
company with him at $1600.00, making
the total loss of property $3600.00
Such prompt settlements are to be de
sired and serve to greatly strengthen
the company in this locality.
This company also settled out of
court or rather compromised, the case
brouerht against it by J. A. Tanner for
the loss of a barn blown down last fall.
The amount of the settlement is not
made public but the amount of the
policy was $400.00. The point in con
troversy was whether the building des
troyed was an open or closed one, the
one being covered by the terms ot tne
policy while the other was not. The
matter was satisfactorily arranged and
a payment made Mr. Tanner in settle
ment. Call and see
my line of fa!l hats.

BEAUTIFUL WED
DING CEREMONY
Miss Sallie Brady United in Marriage
With Albertus A. Shore.
A simple and informal wedding took
place Wednesday a. nr. when Rev. A. A
Kandall united for life Albertus A
Shore of Norborne, Mo., and Miss Sal
lie Biady. of this city. The ceremony
took place at the residence of the
bride's parents, in the presence of some
twenty-five lady friends of the bride.
ine ceremony 01 Kev. Kandall was
that of the Methodist church, the par
lies entering me room wnere tne cere
mony was performed to the strains of
the wedding march as piayed by II. E.
wescoit. ine Driae was attired in a
traveling costume, being ready to take
the train immediately upon the conclu
sion of the wedding breakfast. The
wedding party was completed by the
addition of Miss Leona Brady as brides
maid and Blaine Moyle, of Norborne,
Mo., as best man. Immediately upon
the conclusion of the ceremony, a flash
light picture of the wedding party was
taken by W. S. Soper.
After the ceremony had been com
pleted, the assembled guests sat down
to an elegant wedding breakfast which
was served at small tables seating sev
eral guests each. At the conclusion of
the breakfast the entire party repaired
to the Burlington station where the
bride and groom departed on the fast
mail for a bridal tour of several days
duration. They will be at home at
Norborne, Mo., after Oct. 1.
At the depot the couple found them
selves the center of much attraction, a
large number of the girl friends of the
bride assembling and treating them
to liberal doses of rice and all the other
attributes of a newly wed couple.
When they came to get on the train
they were literally deluged with rice,
even the trainmen getting a share, so
generous were the donors. Another
pleasing feature of the leavetaking was
a song invented for the occasion by
some unknown party, it being a parody
upon a religious melody the words of
which fitted the occasion splendidly.
Miss Leona Brady, Miss Zelma Tuey
and Mr. Blaine Moyle accompanied the
happy couple as far as Omaha.
Miss Sallie Brady, the charming
bride, is one of this city's most accom
plished and popular young ladies. Al
though a resident of this city for but a
few years she numbers among her ac
quaintances a great host of the younger
people, all of whom know her to love
her. Charming and agreeable, her
leaving this city will make her sadly
missed in her wide circle of friends.
To the fortunate groom, the congratu
lations are extended upon his seenring
a lady of such excellent qualities.
The groom, while not well known in
this city, is a fine appearing gentleman
and is one of the most promising young
business men of Norborne, Mo., being
superintendent of the light plant at
that place. From his high standing in
the community.it must be inferred that
his wife has been most fortunate in
her choice and to this most estimable
couple the wishes of their friends go
out for a long and happy married life.

Mrs. Anna Vehling, the wife of John
Vehling of Weeping Water, died Sun

Vehling is survived by her husband and
one daughter.

Cottage Cheese.
In the country and smaller towns
where there is plenty of sour milk,
this can be easily made, and la very
nutritious. Pour boiling water on the
thick milk in the pan in which it has
turned sour, stirring as you pour. As
soon as the milk separates from the
whey and begins to appear cooked, let
it settle. In a minute or two most of
the water and whey can be poured off.
If not cooked, more hot water may be
used. Squeeze the curd very dry, and
add salt and cream to taste. In very
hot weather, when the milk has turned
quickly, the milk will be good enough
to eat without the cream. Some add
pepper, others prefer sugar. Eaten
in any way it is very wholesome. For
a change, add chopped nuts, and roll
into balls.
Mint Sauce.
Ia these spring days when lamb
is a favorite dish. It is well to be care
ful in the preparation of the mint
sauce. It is simple of course, but many
forget to cut the mint fine, and there
is generally too much vinegar. These
proportions are best: To two table
spoons green mint, add two of sugar
and a scant half cup of vinegar.
Grated Ham.
This is a nice way to dispose of the
odds and ends of ham, and is especial
ly good for making sandwiches. Grate
fine, and season well. Some like a
dash of raw onion but it must be only
a dash.

In making gravies, it is usually a
nuisance to stop and wait for the flour
to brown, as during the process the
dinner gets cold. A way to solve this
problem is to keep on hand Eome
browned flour. This can be put into
the grease and the water added at
once. Gravies should be stirred over
a hot Are, and not allowed to simmer
a3 they must be quickly made.
Place all meat in boiling water as
this retains the Juices. In making
stews, if the meat has already been
coked, be sure to make the gravy first.
Then boil the onion and seasoning,
adding the meat only when the other J
Ingredients are thoroughly cooked.
Use kerosene for polishing lamp
chimneys. It serves the double pur
pose of cleaning and shining. But do
not use it on the windows, as it makes
them catch the dirt more easily.
Boil the wash rags in sal soda two
or three times a week, and hang out
of doors all day. A nice way to in
sure keeping them for separate use, is
to sew a tiny bit of different colored
braids on each; then teach the chil
dren to "stick to their colors."
For washing dishes a small mop
stick is a great convenience, and may
be bought for a nickel. It is especial
ly good to save the hands when strong
washing powders are used.
Gems for Late Breakfast.
When you have overslept and break
fast is late, these gems can be made
while the family is dressing. Beat to
gether one cup sweet milk, one and
one-half cups flour, one egg. one spoon
salt and one of baking powder. Have
the pans hot, and the oven, too, and
bake 15 minutes. N'obody will have
to wait for these.
