Recipes.
Dutch Olekocks About tea time take a
pint of baker's or good home-made yeaat.
add a teaspoonful of salt and flour enough
to make a stiff batter. Cover and set In
a warm place to rise. Later on take a
quart of milk warmed to blood heat, add
to It one and a quarter pounds of sugar,
three-fourths of a cup of butter, six eggs,
one nutmeg, one teaspoonful of soda. Mix
well together, then pour In the yeast sponge
and stir In enough flour to make about as
stiff as biscuit dough. Work well, but do
not get tt too stiff have as soft as can be
handled. Let it stand, covered, In a warm
place over night. In the morning mould
Into cakes, breaking off dough about the
size of an egg. Mould lightly and no more
than Is necessary. Press into the centers
of each olekock one or two rartalns. As you
mould each one place on a moulding board
and when all are done set R in a place as
warm as possible without overheating them.
Cover and let rise until very light Then
fry them In hot fat, turning them several
times. When done, roll them In powdered
sugar and lay on large dishes or oiled paper
to cool, but do not pile them one on another
or they will be heavy.
Crullers Take a pint of sugar, half a pint
of sweet milk, three eggs, a heaping table
spoonful of butter and three teaspoonfuls
of baking powder mixed with six cups of
sifted flour, half a teaspoonful of nutmeg
and a level teaspoonful of 'cinnamon. Beat
eggs, sugar and butter together, add milk,
spices and flour. Put another cup of flour
on the moulding board, turn the dough out
Into this and knead to a dough stiff enough
to handle. Roll out quarter of an Inch
thick, cut In squares, make three or four
incisions in each square, lift by taking up
alternate strips between the finger and
thumb, drop into hot fat and cook like
doughnuts.
Malse Doughnuts Put two cups of sifted
cornmeal Into a bowl and pour over it one
and one-half cups of scalded milk. When
cool add two cups of flour and one cup of
softened butter, one and one-half cups of
sugar, three eggs and a flavoring of nut
meg or cinnamon. Let rise until very
light, then roll out half an inch thick, cut
in diamond shape and fry in hot fat.
Old-Fashioned Doughnuts Make a sponge
for white bread, using one pint of warm
milk and a large half cup of yeast. When
the sponge is very light add half a cup of
butter, a cupful of sugar, teaspoonful of
salt and a small teaspoonful of soda dis
solved In a little water, one tableepoonful
of cinnamon and a little grated nutmeg.
Stir in now two well beaten eggs, add
sifted flour until it Is the consistency of
biscuit dough, knead well, cover and let
rise, then roll the dough out into a sheet
half an inch thick, cut out with a very
small biscuit cutter or In strips half an Inch
w)de and three Inches long, place them on
greased tins, cover them well and let them
rise before frying them. Drop them in very
hot fat Raised cakes require a longer time
to cook than those made with baking
powder. .
INTEREST INPANAMA AFFAIR
Army Officials Are Concerned In Re
ports of Moving Troops to the
Isthmus.
A little flurry of Interest prevails at army
headquarters over recent advices from
Washington relative to the possible neces
sity of troops at Panama to maintain order
there under the pending treaty with the
new Republlo of Panama.
"The only information we have regarding
the matter," said an officer at department
headquarters Saturday, 'ls what is given
out through the press, particularly In the
issue of the Washington Evening Star of
December 28, which is to the effect that
after the ratification of the treaty by the
senate it is probable that the marine force
now encamped at various points In Panama
will be withdrawn from the Interior of the
country and their places supplied by troops
of the regular army, who will establish
permanent garrisons at various strategic
points and be governed in their future
movements by the action of the Colombian
government The Star goes on to say that
plana already have been formulated at
the War department for all possible event
ualities and in case of necessity a large
force of troops can be forwarded to Pan
ama and Colon on short notloe. Transports
will be held in readiness at San Francisco
and New Tork for the prompt execution
of such a movement It Is estimated that
several thousand soldiers will be needed to
fulfill these obligations.
"We, of course, know nothing further of
the matter than appears In the press re
ports and nothing has been received at
these headquarters looking to any move
ment of troops from here. However, the
matter is one that Interests us here, as it
does at all army headquarters."
DELINQUENTS MAKE A RUSH
Fear Taoasand Taxpayers Get Scbed
lea as File Satarday to Save
Themselves.
It was estimated in the city tax depart
ment last night that more thaa 4,000 of the
delinquent personal property schedules for
1904 taxes had been placed on file. All of
yesterday something that might be called
a rush was on In the tax office, as Commis
sioner Fleming had announced hat Satur
day would be the last day on which the
forms would be received, During the after
noon and evening several hundred persons
appeared and handed In the schedules. The
total amount added to the asaeaament rolls
can only be guessed at, but it Is thought
it will run oloee to $500,000.
The commissioner has decided that he
will grant one more day of grace Monday
and will not close the doors until 1:80 p,
m. After that time, however, not another
voluntary return will be accepted.

OMAHA'S PORT IS NEGLECTED
Local Dealers Do Not Eater Goods Through
Boms Gate.
BUSINESS SHOULD BE MUCH LARGER
Castoms House Conld Do Much More
Without Extra Cost to Govern
ment and Ith Benefit to
Importers.
The importance of the office of the
collector of customs for the port of Omaha
may not be fully realized by the citizens
of the district tributary to It. Anent this
subject Collector 13. S. Barrows said:
"The annual amount of customs clearings
through this port Is very large, but the
exact figures are not available at this time
because the fiscal year does not end until
June SO. However, as an instance, the re
moval of the tea tax of ten cents per
pound January 1, 1903, caused a direct
loss of revenue to the Omaha office of
830,000. Notwithstanding this big loss, the
extraordinary growth of a new industry
originating with the packing house of
Cudahy & Co., this balance was made up
on their Importations during the current
fiscal year of crude glyceTlne, of which
commodity, they now import millions of
pounds.
This Is but an Instance of the possibilities
of the customs receipts at this port were
all the Imported articles received at Omaha
by the city's various merchants cleared at
this port direct. The total receipt of cus
toms for the entire United States for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, was $4,000,
000. Of this amount New York received
1182,000,000, leaving a balance of 1102,000,000
for the whole country. This ought to
show our merchants that their transactions
with the Omaha custom house would help
to make a good showing, while the clear
ance if made in New York would only be
a drop In the ocean. Kansas City, Denver,
and even Bt Joseph show a larger per
centage of customs receipts than Omaha,
and the advertising that these cities re
ceive as importers Is manifest While in fact
In the actual amount of Importations they
may not exceed those of Omaha, but they
are shrewd enough to realize the import
ance of direct importations In. bond to
these cities. Importations can be as read
ily and even more cheaply received here in
Omaha in bond, as through the seaport
custom houses. These importations can be
cleared as readily . here as at New York,
Boston, Philadelphia or Baltimore, and the
showing would be oC Immeasurable ad
vantage to the city. .
' Could Do Mora Work.
The Omaha custom house could do far
more work than it is doing without any ad
ditional cost to the government. The Omaha
customs corps of officials are fully com
petent to carry on the work as any of the
seaport cities. The economy ot clearing
here, as against the original port of entry,
Is manifest In the matter of drnyags and
brokerage fees that must be added to all
clearings made for western houses in the
seaport cities and this is no inconsequen
tial item. At present the clearings at the
Omaha customs office exceed -by a large
precentage the expenses of collections and
the Omaha office Is gradually forging to the
front in this matter. Were all the goods
Imported into Omaha cleared here, a tre
mendous increase In the receipts of cus
toms would be immediately manifest and
the comparison between tho adjacent cities
named would be very flattering to Omaha.
The machinery of the Omaha office as at
present constituted could do ten times the
work it Is doing and a spirit of local pa-,
trlotlsm should stimulate Omaha Importers
to see that Omaha gets all it is entitled to
in customs receipts. The emoluments of
the office would not be materially Increased
by the increased customs more than the In
crease would return directly In Its proper
proportion to the Importers and the higher
financial rating of the city." ,
In his annual report for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1903, Secretary Shaw says:
"There are forty-live districts (customs)
where it costs more than 11 to collect 11.
It is unnecessary to present any argument
on ' this subject Legislation to put all
customs districts on a business basis Is an
imperative duty to the country at large.
Undoubtedly customs officers will neces
sarily be retained at ports where the col
lection of the revenue Is meager. They
should, however, be only sufficient In num
ber to afford proper protection to the rev
enue. Independent ports with large estab
lishments, many employes and the inciden
tal expenses, which come as a matter of
course, should be converted into subports,
tributary to some larger self-sustaining
port The reduction of the expenses ot
maintenance and the consolidation ot re
ceipts in one district would permit the
government to have every customs district
on a self-sustaining basis at least"
