THE REPUBLICAN is under obligations to Hon. Henry U. Johnson, of Washington C., for the Daily Congressional Record. It contains all the doings of both branches of CoDgress with the speeches and every thiug else in full.

ANOTHER bond issue will be one of the first things next year as there are always large withdrawals of gold during Jan. and February of each year. Since Cleveland has been in the government has realized from bond sales $182,000,000. Just ttink of it the Cleveland administration in time of profound peace and mak ing but few if any internal improvements compelled to saddle such an enormous bond debt on the people o1 the United States. By the time the interest is paid for 30 years the actual amount paid for the mismanagement, to call it by so mild a name, of this Democratic administration wiil be over $400,000,000 for the bonds already issued and still there are more to follow. --Who now is shouting for Grover and Clover, except the bond buyers.

SPIRITED AWAY.

A STOCK OF GOODS SUPPOSED TO BE IN GREENFIELD.

Officers Trying to Locate the Goods And .Parties Who Brought Tlienr to Our City—Will They be Found?

About November, Geo. F. Kreitlein, who kept a general store in Indianapolis, failed, and when the proper parties began to look after the matter, they were of the opinion that a large portion of the stock had been spirited away, and began an investigation, which has terminated in the location of the goods in this city, and the authorities here have been notified to make a careful search for them. It seems according to the information received, that the goods were brongbt here in an express wagon and unloaded, as no trace further than this point can be found.

Many of our citizens remember that at about this time on a rainy evening, there were two Indianapolis express wagons here, and that the drivers left their teams standing in our streets until in the night, while they passed their time pleasantly in a neighboring saloon, chatting and drinking, but no one seems to know what the wagons were loaded with— think nothing strange of a wagon from that city being here, as it is almost a daily occurence. Of course it would hardly seem probable that if they came they were hauling stolen goods, that they would thus leave them, unless to couteact suspicion. But the wagons were here and loaded, but it is impossible to find out at this time where the contents were deposited or what they contained, but a diligent search is being made and if the goods can be found they will be turned over to the proper authorities at Indianapolis. Late last night we met Merchant policemen, Dudding and Johnson, and asked if they knew anything about the matter, and said that about the time mentioned there were two wagons of the kind in the city, but think they came from the east, and are satisfied that no goods could have been unloaded in the business part of the city without their knowledge.

BAD COOKERY IS IMMORAL.

Ex-Minister Roosevelt Denounces It ud Tells What a Good Dinner Might Be. [Special Correspondence.]

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—A really bad cook does worse by his fellow men than what Shakespeare suggests as a possibility when he says, "His quietus make with a bare bodkin," for the cook does it with a mere wooden skewer. All literature is full of illustrations of this truth.

One of the famous traditions of history is that Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo because of a lit of indigestion, and, as Emerson said of some story that housed to empliasizo an argument, I do not know and I do not care if it be true or not. It is potentially true, and it points a moral. Whether Blucher was the dish he could not stomach or whether his cook played him false in the emergeucy is of no consequence, since it might have been the cook, and, if it was, the groat disaster ho brought about was no worse to Napoleon than the thousand ills have proved to their victims that were wrought by cooks of every generation. Who is a greater benefactor of his race than a master of the saucepan? And who is more to be despised than a blunderer over the kitchen fire? The poet who wrote of "that rascal cook" must surely have been cursing from the very pit of his stomach.

The effects of food are more farreacliing than is always understood. Poor food produces dyspepsia, and dyspepsia produces crime. It has even been alleged that the intolerance and cruelty of the old Puritanical church resulted from indigestion. Austerity of diet may not always produce austere morals, but will almost surely breed a harsh, rigid severity of temperament as fatal to the peaco of the world as sat-an's pitchfork can be believed to be. Em ire communities are affected thus by their favorite articles of food. The restless, wandering, uneasy Yankee, who carries a dyspepsia instead of a conscience to measure his morals withal, was raised on overdone fried steak and pie, with doughnuts as another staple to eke out the damage. The gaunt, yellow, lleshless westerner, who lays his ills to fever and ague, too often suffors from a surfeit of saleratus more than he does from malaria.

But cookery is a science and has its "schools." Which of these is best? Not long ago the question would liavo raised a smile, for French cookery was a superstition. None other was deemed worthy of a comparison. Even now it is generally considered the best, yet the best chefs in Paris have been told that they do not know how to roast, and the charge is unrcfuted. The Prince of Wales, in speaking of America in a private conversation with an American, said, "You have excellent things to eat over there," and the remark is prophetic of the supremacy of the American school of cookery. The day is not yet, but its dawn is breaking, when an American dinner will bo recognized as the best on earth.

Let us imagine one. It begins, not with soup, but with fish. Soup is good, but should never be allowed to precede the nobility of food, the solid courses of a set dinner. Neither should the cold, clammy, uncooked oyster come first, but a portion of boiled fish. Not salmon, for that is too rich for the place and will mako a feast by

R. B. ROOSEVKLT.

itself, bub some other one of the innumerable varieties of American fish, delicious when plainly cooked.

Then, if you please, we will have turkey. It is our national bird and can bo found nowhere else in such perfection as in this country. Let him bo roasted in true American style, for no foreign cook can prepare him properly, stuffed with "blue points" and served with cranberry sauco. Next there could come terrapin and oysters —the oysters fried or broiled and the terrapin with Philadelphia spico or in plain Maryland perfection. For game there might bo canvasback duck or Minnesota venison. Wherein can the whole world produce their equal?

If any one demand bcignets in the middle of his meal, what can be found bettor to give him than straight out American griddle cakes? They are better than any of tho feeble French imitations, though all such interpolations are vandalism. Your dinner should bo dinner and your dessert dessert. For the latter there should be no gateaux varies, mere dried up cakelets fit to crumble up for feeding poultry, but a luscious, rich pumpkin or minco pie or one of apples, again in true Amorican fashion, for there are pies and pies, but there are no French pies. A pate is not a pie. Or, if not pie, have a pudding that is a pudding—Indian, plum or cabinet or batter. And for the fruits and cheese, and evon tho nuts, that may be called for afterward, there is no reason to go abroad, so long as England imports our cheose and fruits, and even our nuts aro exported With our wines.

For wines we may have thoso which lhave for years taken prizes in tho expositions held in European capitals, and which we aro just now learning to drink and to appreciate. There is variety enough, from the rich, fruity red and white California Wines to the Pleasant valley and Hammonds port champagnes, all hotter than tho average of allegedly imported stuff that is sold in such quantities.

And if a digestive glass be wanted at the close of the foast a little rye or bourbon whisky should bo served instead of cognac, or even a thimbleful of Jorsoy applejack, not less than 15 years old, though. These aro moro likely to be pure and wholesome than any foreign pharmaceutical concoction under the name of liqueurs.

Of course this is only an outline, a skeleton of tho feast, and not a full, rounded descripiton of it. Vegetables, salad, cold accompaniments, tho "fixin's," which are tho ornaments and fringe, naturally fill in and help fill up. But comparo that with filet du boouf chat springs perennial on tho French menu, accompanied by canned celluloid mushrooms, with vapid ris do veau and with all the mado up mockeries. Making over is economy, and tho French chef is the king of rechauffe, which is good eating and good sense in its way, but for first best give me the first cooking.

A TYPICAL WESTERN GIRL.

Exploit* of the Lovely Miss Staunton of Davenport In the Adlrondacks. With the close of the hunting season in the Adirondacks the hundreds of enthusiastic followers of the chase are returning to their homes.

Nine ont of ten persons who ever think of this noble sport at all are inclined to look upon it as being the exclusive monopoly of the sterner sex. This was to a great extent true iu yenrs gone by, but is such no longer. Indeed a very large proportion of the admiiers of Diana in our great state park—the Adirondacks—are women, and the rec-

MISS FRANCES MAY STAUNTON.

ords go to show that the dainty and delicate hand that poured tea at the pink reception or was gem laden at the swell germ an can pull a trigger at the right time and bring down an antlered monarch of the woods after the fashion of "any old guide." Not only this, but some of the best shots and most interesting hunting affairs of the season are chargeable to women.

Attired in her suit of corduroy, usually of a grayish or slatish hue, with jacket, shirt waist and short skirt, she goes forth to win laurels with her rifle. She wears heavy tan shoes that lace high and stiff leather leggings that buckle from the ankle to the knee. Around her waist is a cartridge belt, and a hunting knife fits snugly into its scabbard at her side. The knife is usually for ornament only, although at times it may come in very handy to cut away twigs in tight places or peel fine chips for the evening fire.

Some of the female followers of the chase are the Misses Jackson of New York, Miss Grace White of Philadelphia, Miss McAllister of Washington, Miss Julia Belo of Galveston and Miss Frances May Staunton of Davenport.

Miss Staunton is a typical western girl, independent, bright, active and of charming face and figure. She has lovely brown eyes that .speak no fear, and with them she has g::zed upon a bear at midnight. Not only that, but she killed bruin, who stood open mouthed and fierce 20 feet away. Tho incident occurred on Long Pond, where a party of young people was in camp. Miss Staunton was awakened by the growls of a bear, and hastily donning her dressing gown she seized a rifle and went out. Bruin, black and ugly, was facing the tent only a rod and a half away, when plucky Miss Staunton emptied the contents of her rifle into his head and breast. The bear made several attempts to reach the young woman, but died within ten feet of her. Miss Staunton, though an excellent shot, has not had the success in deer hunting she otherwise might have had, and this because of her great love of song. Possessed of a voice of wonderful sweetness and purity, she has a passionate fondness for singing while in tho woods, and the deer, not especially fond of a human voice, however beautiful, do not generally intrude upon her presence. Still, she has killed at least as many as the law allows this year. —New York Times.

The Ancient Idea.

It was on Sept. 24, 1761, that the Worcester Journal (England) published a thoughtful article entitled "Qualifications of a Wife." "In spelling a little becoming deficiency, and in the punctuation (or what is generally called stopping) by no means conversant. In conversation a little of the lisp, but not of the stammer. A decent share of common sense, just seasoned with a little repartee—a small modicum of wit, but no learning no learning, I say again and again (either ancient or modern) upon any consideration whatever. A good person, but not perfectly beautiful—a moderate height—a complexion not quite fair, but a little brown. Great good nature, and a prudent generosity.'' And so on, and so on.

Declined a Renominatlon*

Mrs. Mary J. R. N. Strang, who for the past 15 years has served as school trustee in Long Island City, N. Y, declined a renomination. The Now York Herald says: "Sheis an excellent school official, and her retirement from public life is a source of much regret. She took much interest in school matters and during her long official life has always been the active secretary of the board of trustees."

A New Southern Poet.

The roll of southern poets has been increased by Miss Mary Louise Huntley of Atlanta. She is a tall, slender, dark girl, reserved, dignified and studious. Her last poem, "The Sob&ing Rain," is an exquisite idyl and was quoted and requoted by the press of the country. She is the third talented singer in her city, the other two being Lollie Belle Wylie and Arelia Bell Key.'

A Mohair Crepon Skirt.

The sensible woman, says a fashion paper, in purchasing her winter wardrobe will buy a mohair crepon skirt for theater wear. A skirt of this material will bo found silky in appearance, will look well with any bodice, and its wearing capacity is unequaled. The fact that this quality of crepon does not wrinkle makea it particularly desirable for theater wear.

MORMON MUDDLE

Decided In the Courts Against the Reorganized Church. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 11.—Several important opinions were handed down by the United States court of appeals at its sitting yesterday. One was that of the Chui-chof Christ of Independence, Mo., et al., as appellants, vs. the reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, appellees. The decision was adverse to the interests of the reorganized church, as their petition for a rehearing was overruled. One of the most important points in the controversy was as I to which faction taught the doctrine originally promulgated by Joseph

Smith, and each accused the other of heresy. The orthodoxy of polygamy, among other things, was argued at great length, and an elaborate attempt was made to show that such an institution was never authorized by the founders of Mormonism.

SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE.

American University to Have a Department of That Nature. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—The American university has just completed an agreement with the board of counsel of the Temperance Educational association by which the latter agrees to secure and transfer to the university $250,000 on condition that there shall be inaugurated, as one of its departments, a college of scientific temperance. The scheme originated with Mrs. Mary H. Hunt of Boston, the well known leader in scientific temperance instruction, and Vice Chancellor Boiler. It is. the purpose that this -department, like all others, shall be post graduate and devoted chiefly to tiie original research.

Shannon, an old minister, who 1ms lived near here a number of years, came in on the 2:30 a. m., train from the west, alighting at the usual stopping place. As he started down town, slightly behind the others who had alighted, he was seized by two men, who held him and rifled his pockets of $40. Mr. Shannon says he would recognize his assailants.

Colton, held for horse stealing George Brown and Charles Smith, burglary George Gordon, larceny. The men broke through the roof of the cells which were but lately put in and thought to De safe.

Sherman's Big Royalties.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Senator Sherman gets $1 a copy royalty on his reminiscences, and 127,000 copies had been sold up to Dec. 1. The publishers expect even larger sales during the present month. General Grant's family made over $500,000 from his memoirs, Mr. Blaine's "Twenty Years in Congress" brought him $250,000 and Gen. Sheridan's memoirs netted over $60,000 in royalties.

Government's Right Upheld. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11.—United States Circuit Judge McKenna has decided that the United States government had aright under the Thurman act to intervene in tho suit between the California railway commission and Southern Pacific railway oil the question of a reduction of freight rates on grain amounting to 8 per cent.

Plumber 31 urdered.

MERIDIAN, Miss., Dec. 11.—A man named Peterson, a plumber by trade, whose home is in Pittsburg, was murdered in this city by unknown parties. No apparent reason is known for the deed.

PIERCED THFfOUGH BY A DRILL.

The Iron Entered His Back and Came Out Through His Ribs. They were discussing last night at a miners' boarding house the stabb^g of Tom Lynch at the Butto hotel, and a number of the cases of a similar nature were brought up in which the injured men recovered and were as hearty as ever. "The most remarkable case, though, that I ever heard of, said Jerry Harrigan, "was that of Pat Mulligan, with whom I worked for many a year. In June, lSbl, Mulligan was working at the Gray Rock, when the shaft on that property was about 225 feet deep. Mulligan was one of the sinking crew, and one day the bucket which was used for taking out the waste and water was being hoisted to the surface. The bucket was almost filled with water, and the shaft men, unknown to the topman, put six dull drills in the bucket to be sent on top to be sharpened. The topman dumped the water in a trough at the collar of the shaft without closing the trapdoors on top, and one of the drills rolled out, struck the trough and fell off down the shaft. It was an inch drill about two feet long and weighed about six pounds. "Mulligan was in a stooping position: when the drill struck him. It hit him back of the shoulder blade, passed clean. through the body, narrowly missing his heart, and partly emerged from between the ribs. Mulligan's horror stricken companions in the shaft rushed to his assistance, and were about to pull the drill out from his back when Mulligan calmly seized the lower end of tho drill from where it protruded, and by a great effort pulled it through his body and threw it down at his feet. "It was a wonderful exhibition ofi strength and fortitude, but everybody who heard of the accident was confident' that he could not survive. He hovered between life and death for about three weeks, and finally got apparently as well as ever. He worked for ten years in the mines of Butte and Granite, buts finally met with a horrible death at the Anaconda mine ou Nov. 4, 1891, by falling with eight others from the cage while being hoisted from the mine.

A Hint to Smokers.

Many tobacco smokers consider that! little light specks on the wrapper of a cigar indicate a good article. Very few," know how those specks get there.

If on a hot day, when the sun has" been beating down on the tobacco plants, a sudden thunder shower should come up and sprinkle the leaves with the immense drops of rain so common in Cuba, and it should then suddenly clear up, the sun coming out brightly again, the drops of water on the leaves will act as lenses and concentrate the sun's rays, which burn the little specks upon the tobacco.

The tobacco must be ripe in order that tho sun may give this effect. On account of the great selling capacity of this sort of wrapper, these spots are made on the cheaper brands by chemical means.— London Standard.

Nothing is such an obstacle to production of excellence as the power of producing what is good with ease and rapidity.—Aikin.
