I ngentiity is a good thing at times and every cook ought to have spark ot it lurking somewhere m his or her composition.' "I'lain' cooks, of course, don't possess it and, theielore, what is called a "good plain cook" doesn't exist. To boil a potato or broil a steak may seem a very simple operation, and so it is; but to do it properly, heaven defend us from the "plain" cook! The palate, if it be a healthy one, is delicately discriminating, and quickly discovers there is very little ingenuity in a sodden potato or a iuicelesH steak. We advise all these so-called "plain cooks," for their o.vn sakes, as well as for th stomach s sake of their victims to read Table Talk. One dollar a yt is not much; but, if you cannot niford it, surely vour mistress will get yon the magazine if you show any disposition to read and proht by its contents.

Field Had tho Cost of the De bate Saturday. BRYAN HAD THE NOISE. The Importation From Omaha With Tin Horns and Cow Bells At tempted to Run the Meet Ing Bryan Losing. The joint debate between Field and Bryan Saturday evening was the cause of a large rowd of people gathering here from all parts of Cass county. Not only Cass county, but hired dele g.itior. s from Omaha men not en titled to a vote in this district were brought here to how 1 for the windy candidate for congress William ennings Bryan. The Omaha gang of rowdies were packed on the steps back of the speakers a id were lib erally supplied with tin horns and cow bells and they were also packed thickly all around the speakers' stand. Between 5.000 and (i,UK people were out to hear the debute. Promptly at S o'clock Judge A. N. Sullivan introduced the next con gressman from this district. Judge Field was greeted with prolonged applause by the audience. Field then started in on the Force bill and had talked only a few minutes when he was interrupted by the arrival of the dfhir:itimi from Nebraska Citv i i i .. .... . . . ,...i.i " I dim iiim iu iiiiu mini uiiui vouiiii I... restore,! Aa , h. rn.,1,1 make himself heard he procecled with the tariff question. On the McKiuley bill Mr. Field was per fectly at home and the way he riiV died the democratic theories on the tariff was a caution. He devoted considerable time to the American tin plate industry He said he never would stand be' lore an American audience and manifest ioy because some Ameri can industry had failed as his opponent does. He said the republican party believed in nuking the foreigner pav the tax as long as they can do it. Mr. Field made a good hit when Ik' quoted from the scriptures and saiil the great apostle Matthew was surely a republican because no democrat would give up a custom olic.e to become a preacher. lie charged Bryan with advocat mi' free silver in order to catch the independent vote. Field criticized ,, .. . . . a in inner that it made Bryan look Fred. Mr. Field closed the first part of the debate amid great applause. Hon. F. E. White then introduced the Hon. Win. (. Brvan, and the only reason Mr. White offered for Bryan carrying the district two years ago, was, as Mr. White stated, that by his eloquence he had carried the district. A good rer omeudation for a man wanting to go to congress, isn't it r But, then Mr. White knew what he whs talk ing about. IMr. ltryau was recieved amid ap plause and proceeded for nearly an hour in telling what he had done in congress, and detendiug his record Mr Bryan, did not, as was expected talk on the live issues of the day, but instead talked of the great "I am, ".'hen ins time had nearly ex pired he branched off lightly on the taritf, saying that a merchant ot this town had told him that carpets were higher today than before the McMnley bill had passed, and at the same time fie knew better. A great campaign of education the democrats are putting up isn't it ': Bryan then passed to the silver question and attempted to talk free silver for ten minutes. i nose who went out. to near a joint debate were greatly disap pointed as Bryan used nearly all the time alloted to him in talking about himself instead of the ques Hons at issue. .Mr. liryait ceased amid a Hearty applause by the nn .... . ... portations from Omaha. i'lr. riem started oil in his titteen minute reply and commenced hammering Bryan so hard that the hireling from Omaha and Nebraska City started in to drown him out and it was with difficulty that Mr Field could be heard. The demo cratic importation Saturday night did their cause no good, and Mr Field stock is on the rise. The judge showed that he was entirely able to hold his own with the windy congressman and his pet theories, Judge Field made many friends and votes by his honest handling of the question at issue and in the earnest manner in which he dealt with them, while Bryan was kept continually defending himself and dodging the questions at issue.

Chanintf the Channol At the instance of Charles I Ben jamin, '.he real estate dealer of! Omaha, acting as agent for Miss Virginia Snoutfer, Judge Scott last week stopped a uiirautic ditching scheme which aimed at changing! the channel of the Missouri, at a point near Bcllcvtie. The land lies in Sarpy county and the ca;-e comes up at Papilliou November M. Chillis' point is a projecting piece of land comprising about acres north ot Bellevue. J he , iss-I ouri river, as it turns the bend at j the extreme east end ot the point, j has lately cut into the farms ol I Abner Wright, Jenkins and three others along and below Mosquito creek in Iowa. Hits courre could be changed these farms would naturally be safe lrom inroads of the river, and the channel tilling up would restore all they lost and much more. It would be contrary to state and federal law to swing a stale boundary and turn the chan nel of a navigable stream. But this latter thing seems to have been overlooked, ootne monllis niro a line was survejed across the neck ot Childs' Point, the distance being one and three-iiuarters miles, with in evident intent Indirect the chan nel and a ditch seven feet wide and ten feet deep, was begun at each end. The ditcher grew shy when they were questioned sharply by the tenants or neighbors and de sisted. Recently they put on a force ot a dozen men and when the ten or, fifteen people who live be tween the ditch line and the river went into court one end of thedit"h l.ui t .

Stato Asylum Hie board of public lands and buildings was in session yesterday ifternooii at Lincoln, it being the regular monthly meeting day, The matter of the investigation of the Lincoln hospital for the insane was under discussion, and the fol lowing was adopted: Resolved, That the board of pub lie lands and buildings proceed to investigate the charges and com plaints against the management of the hospital for the insane at Lin coin without delay; and that lr William M. Kuapp, ex siipeiniteii- dent, I. Dan Lauer, ex-steward of said hospital, F. O. Hubbard and E C. Rewick be not died to appear be fore said board o:i Wednesday, October."), lS'.l'J, at o'clock of said day. at the ollice of the board of public lauds and buildings in the capilol building at Lincoln, at which time and place the evidence concerning said charges will be heard, and to testify in said case. The Rewick charges and th possible developments that may at tend an investigation thereof con tinue to be the chief topic for dis cussion in cert iin political discus sions. It is conceded on all hands that an investigation that will go to the bottom of the matter is the least that will satisfy the taxpayers of the state. General Leese was very emphatic in his statement that he regardeil the charges ns of the gravest i til- portance, and that they should be looked into thoroughly, and if true the guilty men and every guilty man should be punished. Genera) iAVHe paid he believed that tin present system of purchasing sup- plies was bad, but did not believe that that was an excuse for such things as had very probably been done. It was difficult forthe board of public lands and buildings to discover the existence of fraudulent practices. But when such things were made kiiosMi to the members they were in dutv bound to take such action as their authority per - mitted. General Leese also said that he - t want the impression to go ut that he attached no importance to the matter of the charges ot kVwiek While be knew nothiii about the matters that he spoke of except what he learned from listen ing to the speech, he thought then1 was sufficient grounds to demand a probing of the thing to the bottom 'The National Lead Company re- port that their pure lead tinting colors have proved to be a decided success.

The Democrats of tho First District are Desperate. BUT IT WILL NOT WORK. Bryan and Cundiff, Shamp's Lieu tenant, TryirK to Consolidate ForCHS Beforn Eloctl i Day Arrives. It Will Fail to Work. There is great combination in the First district between the leaders of the independent party and the democratic party. Attorney Cun dill, of Lincoln, who is now stump ing the district with Gee Roam Shanip, the independent nominee from this district for congress, was chairman of the convention two years ago that nominated William Jennings Bryan for congress. While CundilTis at present stump ing the district for Shamp he is, at the same time, doing considerable work for Bryan in a quite manner. Several different times have the young man eloquent'' and the lieutenant of Mr Shamp been seen together lately having a confidential talk in some secluded place. Cundiff is and has always been a rank democrat and a staunch friend of Mr. Bryan, and his leaving the democratic party and joining the independent was only for effect. It was done for the purpose of having the independent parly refuse to make a congressional nomination, and instead indorse Hryan. In this he made a dismal failure, and now . trvititr to down the indepen dent candidate and throw its forces to Bryan. Attorney Cundiff now intends for the present to keep the confidence of Shamp until a short time before election and then he will come out flat footed for Bryan, and in this way try and bring the independent party with him. It is a desperate game he is play ing, but the independent voters ot the First distrii t are crediied with h iving more good horse sense than to be caught in such a trap. Ihe independent party have no more use lor the windy congress man from the !'"irst district than have the republicans, and to In hood w inked into such a dibolical scheme is beyond question. Nobody but a hide bound demo .. i . - i . crat nas any use lor a man who will get up before an American audit nee and rejoice over the fact that an American industry has failed. Ihe tie up between William Jennings Hryan and Attorney Cun dilf will fall Hat and on the eighth day of next November, lion. Mien W. Field will be elected to repre sent the misrepresented district in the I'mfcd Slates congress. MUHDOCK.
