Parboil' the cabbage, then place in a boiler with an onion, two carrots, half a pound of bacon, parsley, a quart of stock and a glass of sherry. t ook gently for an hour. Taks out the young birds and coble other' articles longer. When done take out the cabbage, press dry and chop and place on, a heated dish with partridges carved and arranged in center of the cabbage mound. Garnish wlt.i the baebn. the carrots sliced and lit tie sausage balls. Make a brown sauce with the remaining liquor and serve with it 8.1 J ted Partridge, Hunter's Style Singe draw and wipe a pair of fine, tender part riages; cut into twelve pieces and saute them in an ounce of butter, sprinkle over them a little salt and pepper and brown tnem nicely on all sides; add a minced shallot, half a glass of Madeira, half pint of Spanish sauce and twelve button mushrooms. . Cover and, cook fifteen mln utea longer, then aerve on round of toaat, with little hominy croquettes and cress for garnish. Stewed Partridge.'

Put. some slices of bacon in tha bottom of a slewing pan, lay In , the partridges, cover - with mora bacon and pour in sufficient chicken broth to cover. Place over's slow fire and cook, covered, for twenty nilnutes.

NO COMPETITOR THUS FAR MEETS IT Other Roada Await Arties af Great Weatera oa Rates to tbe orth. Which Are Still Cam plicated. No notice of the withdrawal of the low rates on grain to southern markets has as yet betn received at the local cfn.es of the Missouri Pacific. As this la the last day on which the rates can be withdrawn without jhe legal ten days' notice being given they will have to remain In effect for ten days at least. No other road haa as yet announced a rata to meet the reductions made by the Missouri ' Pacific, and It Is thought that no announcements will be made by com peting lines until the outcome of the meet ing of the Transmlsaissippi Freight associa tion, which la now In session In Kansas City, Is known. The principal topic to be discussed at this meeting. It Is said, is tha reduction announced by the Missouri Pa cific. It Is thought probable that competing lines will use every effort to secure a prom ise from tha Missouri Pacific, traffic depart ment to put the rates back on the old baals, and falling In this, 1 reductions to meet the conditions will ba announced by all. It is known that the new rates jjut In effect by the Missouri Pacific do not suit competing lines, and some of the represent atives, at least, have pledged themselves to try and secure a restoration. Apparently, no other road has made a mova to restore the rates north, excepting the Great Western, and it Is believed that all competing lines will await develop ments before making any announcement. The Issuing of a new tariff by the Great Western to restore the rates probably will be the cause of calling a meeting of the freight association to even up rates all along the line, for It is well known that all lines running to the northern markevs desire a restoration. New Plaa for Toarlat Cars. The Southern Pacific railroad has notified its eastern connections that hereafter tourist cars will be received by it only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays of each week. Since travel haa become so heavy in this class of cars, it has been found Impossible by the Southern Pacific to accept and handle the cars at any time they may be delivered as has been the case in the past. Beginning with the new order, special trains of these cars will be run by the Southern Pacific from Ogden west, and It is figured by the management of the road that better service can be given than by attaching the cars to its regular trains. The new order will necessitate some changes In the eastern service, which will be announced in a day or two. The North western and Union Pacific will come out lucky under the new order, as It is said that but one change will have to be made In their regular schedule of these cars. The personally conducted excursions via th Northwestern, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific will leave Chicago on Tuesdays. ' Wednesdays and Thursdays. The tourist cars which leave Chicago dally over the above route will not be affected by the change. Changes In Officials.- '' On account of tbe resignation of A. Phil- brick, who has been superintendent at Fort podge for the Illinois Central, F. 8. James, formerly- trainmaster at. that place, has bpen 'promoted Xo.JMl.iha vacancy- (Ir- JL Manlfee. who has been trainmaster of.ter rolnals at Council Bluffs, haa been ap pointed to fill the vacancy made by the pro motion of Mr. James, and J. A. McQonagle formerly passenger conductor on tho Omaha division, takes tha place made va cant by the promotion of Mr. Manlfee. Mr. Philbrlck resigned to accept a posi tion with a construction company at Mem phis. , GOSSIP CF COMMISSION ROW Brasscls fcproats, Cabbaca and Other FroAseta Arrlva from Dlaie Lssd. Brussels a pruts looking like the cherubs of the great Italian painter would appear under the green calcium are hovering about In tha upper portion of the market district ready to ltghi In quart lots on any grocer who will show a tS-cetit piece. These disem bodied heads are from New Orleans and are bitterly disappointed at not getting here for Thanksgiving. They arrived Monday. The cabbage, which Is tha mastodon of the Brussels sprout family. Is here yet. but Is thinking of moving to Boston. Tha cabbage is getting now all there Is here. It has pegged' up by quarter-cent advances until a day or two ago It reached a S-cent wholesale figure. There have been years when the imported c&bbage has cost 6 cents to the retailer, but this year it Is prophe. sled that I cents will be the limit. Head lettuce, another product of New Or leans, also has hit a hotter price and moved from 87 a barrel to $10. Still another nice thing to arrive from the aunny southern city Is splnnaga, whioh was welcomed Mon day. This will do the retailer the honor 6f costing him $1.26 wholesale for a fifteen- pound box. While. all these flighty green things are cutting up the food rates, the good old ba nana, which first aet tha fashion of high prices thla year, haa reached Its limit and started on the back track. Almost never have the peelers cost such a ransom, and during the summer and early fall made a weekly advance of 10 cents. Now they have dropped back one notch and will be a little cheaper until Christmas business starts up. Then they will put on the holi day pace again. Fancy kiln-dried sweet potatoes from II llnols came In Monday In a party car. They are a 83.60 article and are much liked by the dealers. OPENING OF NEW ACADEMY Special . Prograta Is. Prepared W. C.

Two hu.i dred couples and a fourteen-plece orches tra are what he considers aa about the proper and necessary furnishings for an opening affair. The buildings was to have been com pleted sooner, but suffered from strikes and caveina, hut now stands ready. The assembly room, which Is two stories In height and finished in white and gold, haa a dimension of OxS0 feet and is free from posts. A spectators' balcony surrounds It. A number of fresh air Intakes lead in under .the platforms at tha side and will fumlxh all of tha wholesome air, which Mr. Chambers considers so essentia! to dance, without allowing any drafts on over heated dancers. There are also dressing an4 smoking rooms and a foyer on this floor. Below stairs Is the, banquet room and sua I tort urn. There Is a stage 2uxJ0 feet, designed for amateur talent, and a gymnasium and other accessories. The building, according t Mr. Chambers, has made him dance to tha tune of l-Ti,om, and the ground has been an additional expense Of 19,000. ' OIL, NOT ENGLISH FASHION Pra art ( Wyasnlasj; Wells laterests Rnffalo Rill, Who Is (Mill aa American, Colonel W. F. Cody, 'Buffalo Bill." ac companied by Ms daughter, Mrs. Artie Bowles of North I'latte, arrived in the city yesterday and registered at., the Mer chants. Colonel Cody and Mrs. Bowles are enroute to New Tork. where he goes on business connected with his mining and oil Interest. '"I expect to be absent In New York for about two weeks," said the colonel, "confer ring with capitalists Interested in our oil and mining enterprises In the vicinity of Cody, Wyo., from where t have Just re turned. The prospect for the development of our property there is as fine as can be dealred. "We have just had a fins wagon toad built by the government from Cody Into the Tellowstone park, and that railroad east and west through the Big Horn basin is a sure go. Irrigation Is a big succers out there. Forty-nine busKels of oata to tha acre was a common thing this year in tha irrigated districts. The country is set tling up at a great rate. Live stock mat ers were never in finer shape in Wyoming than this season. The troubles between the sheep' And cattlemen have died down and everything Is peaceable. We are on tha eve of a big boom up there. "I was rather amused with a story that Denver paper worked up on me the other day. They had It that I had become so thoroughly English, you know, that I had got the English twang on my tongue, dressed In the latest, English style, wore a gorgeous vest and had gone back on my Americanism entirely. There's not a word of truth In It. This coat I wear was made here In America by American tailors and this vest you see la merely a slight im provement on the sweater order. They didn't say a word about the only English thing I had on me, this pin given me by King Edward. Ain't it a beauty? It Is the same one that was stolon from me by one of our men and after which I had all. of Scotland Yard detectlvca to recover. They couldn't find It, and Just a sharp-witted old Indian buck belonging to the show got on its trail and recovered it for me. "No, I will not return to Europe until April. I expect to be back out thla way In a couple of weeks." INDIAN FIGHTERS' JUBILEE Survivors of Sloas Wars Plaa for" Re- la is Commemorate Phil Kearny Massacre.

Strike New Oil Well. - N. A. Kuhn has Just received news from the Wyoming on fields.'' These show that a new well was struck about a week ago in the southeastern corner of sections 12, 16 and 118, which la farther northeast in tha Spring; Valley basin titan oil has before been found. The Standard Reserve Oil company owns this well, which struck oil at 800 feet and is near the Jaser well, which created considerable xcttnment some time a so by turning out an article of oil con. turning twenty pounds or expensive rhlgo line to the barrel. The new well is oduo- slta to tho Omaha property. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. t'nlted States Senator Warren and daugh- Millard, enroute to Washington.

Yates Advocates 8ara Indemnity far Families ef Fireaen. APPEALS TO PUBLIC NOT SAFE PLAN Fire and Police lommlaalonrra Ka orahly ( ousider Proposition Pre sented in This l.lae by Local Insurance Agent. Henry W. Yates, president of the Ne braska National bank. In a letter to Mayer Moore?, enclosing $0 for the firemen's rer lief fund, says: "In my Judgment our firemen's lives should be insured at the ekpense of the city. "Men who must take their lives in their hands as they do should be made to feel that they have a curer dependence for their families In cafe of death 'on the . firing line than uncertain appeals to the benevo lence of the public." At the meeting of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners Monday night John Dale, nn Insurance agent, submitted a proposition for one of the companies he represents. CnJer the offer the city may Insure every member of the department for an aggregate of $5ft8.50 for $1.0o0 insurance for the majority of the men, or 11,314 3S for $1,500 Insurance for the greater number. Mr. Dale waives commissions in the first case amounting to $2.&0 and In the latter to $408.12. Proposition No. 1. Proposition No. 1 would Insure the chief for $3,XJ0, the a- aistant chief at $2,000; eight engineers at $1,000 and sixty-nine drivers, hosemen, pipemen, tlllermon, laddermen and foremen at $l,fXi0 each. A weekly Indemnity In case of accident, the minimum being $6 a week for the latter class, is provided. Proposition So. 2 is the same, save the sixty-nine .men would be insured at $1,500 apiece and the accident indemnity In creased to $7.60 pur week. The board appeared to view the matter with considerable favor and It is' now under consideration and may . be accepted and put Into operation. It appears that contributions to the re lief fund are not to be confined to Omaha. Here is reproduced a letter from N. P. Jonson, chle of a volunteer fire department at Hlldreth, Neb. . , , Luther Drake, Omaha; Dear Sir In re sponse to- your raoyor's proclamation we, the volunteer firemen of Hildreth, Neb., wish to reach out a helping hand to aid the families of our brotlier firemen that were killed. 1 send you $8.25 which was raised by small subscriptions among the boys.
