HON. JAMES T SAUNDERSON, Democratic Candidate for Appellate Judge.

While disclaiming the intention accredited to them, of making an attack on the private character of Speaker Henderson, the democratic leaders do not regret the tangible evidence which his action presents of the serious split in his party in the west. They welcome this demonstration of the fact that a large portion of the republicans of the third lowa district hold the same views as themselves and desire to see the tariff reduced on trust-made articles. The campaigns which are being made by the Minnesota republican candidates leave no doubt of the situation in that state and even if these candidates are elected they will come to the fiftyeighth Congress pledged to vote with the democrats for tariff revision.

Through the error of an employee of the office of the Adjutant General of the Army, the news has just reached the newspaper correspondents that the application of General Miles to visit the Philippines, on which the President recently acted favorably on it, was the same one that was filed nearly a year ago. What caused the president to change his mind, resuscitate this document and act favorably on it, after having originally denied the request, is easily conjectured. The Grand Army had determined to invite General Miles to head their procession at the great encampment which is to be held in Washington early next month and it is believed that the president and his Secretary of War conceived the idea of sending General Miles to the Philippines where he would be out of the way at that time. With that end in view, they granted this old request and the General’s statement to the newspaper men, that he knew nothing of the proposed trip, when the subject was first broached to him, turns out to have been literally true.

JUDICIAL OFFICE.

Newton County Citizen: The effort of the legislatures of some of the states to put judicial elections outside of political influence is an effort in the proper direction. Some of the judges in our neighboring state of Illinois are elected at an election held for no other purpose, relieving the voter from all embarrasment in selecting his choice of men for the position. This arrangement is to some extent an improvement over the system of judicial elections in this state. But the fact that other candidates are to be elected at the coming election ought not to interfere with the voters of this judicial district in making a wise selection for judge. Take the selection of judge in this district out of politics and there could be no question as to what the result would be, for the reason that there could be no question ae to which of the two candidates is better fitted for the position.

In the matter of age, experience, learning and natural aptitude Judge Darroch is far superior to Chas. Hanley, his opponent, and, in every other respect his equal, and as these are the prime requisites in a judge, the voters of this district ought to find no difficulty in making a proper choice. While we have a personal liking for Charles Hanley it is apparent to us that his election at this time, considering his age and want of

experience, would het only be unwise but would not be the best thing for his own future career. Few men develope ripe j udicial qualities short of 50 yerrs of age. and 20 to 30 jears experience.

A RELIC OF WITCHCRAFT.

A curious discovery has been made at Lynn, in Lincolnshire. In an old house a heart shaped piece of cloth, pierced with needles and Eins, has been found in a “grayeard” bottle. This is undoubtedly a relic of witchcraft. According to the editorial secretary of the British Arclueological association, the memento was designed for some one’s harm. “It is part of the paraphernalia of witchcraft. The most interesting thing about this discovery is that it should have occurred at Lynn—i. e., in a part of the world where the sujierstitions belonging to magic and witchcraft might be supposed to have long disappeared. The house is said to be old, and the fact that the cloth was contained in a ‘graybeard’ or ‘bellarmine’ bottle would seem to show that the time of its deposit belongs most probably to the sixteenth or early seventeenth century, at which period, of course, a belief, in witchcraft was universal.” St. James Gazette.

All His Staff Must Marry

Health Commissioner Bosley of Baltimore has startled all of the twenty-four members of his staff with a matrimonial order. The unmarried men have been told to find wives Wore the end of aieither year, and the widowers have Iwen given a reasonable time in which to get married again. Dr. Bosley when Questioned alrout his odd order said that he found he could get better service out of married men than single ones. “It has been my experience all along,” said the commissioner. “A man is not apt to settle down until he has a wife to take care of. This, of course, is not always the case, but it is true in the great majority of instances. A great department like this, dealing, as it does, with the health of the city, demands the services of steady men who can be relied upon for any emergency.”

Cancer Contagious.

Long and careful inquiries by German doctors indicate that cancer is not probably hereditary, but that it is jM?miciously contagious. In certain districts the number of sufferers in proportion to population is much larger every year than in other areas. Dogs and cats in many instances become cancerous, but few horses and cattle are attacked. Men and women are stricken on the average earlier in life in this generation than in those which preceded it. It is hoped that these German investigations of this frightful curse, which are to be kept up persistently and upon a scale both liberal and extensive, may result in the discovery of some remedy'for cancer. But, (n course, that can be only a matter of conjecture..

Modesty of an Ameer.

The late Ameer Abdnr Buhman left behind him, we are told, copious diaries from which be directed his successor to extract and publish those portions which bore upon his private and domestic life, omitting all political questions. It is now to appear under the modest title of the “Encyclopedia of the World.’’ This is not so bad for an informal domestic record even of an oriental potentate.—Madras Mail.

HON. JAMES T. SAUNDERSON.

Brief Sketch of Candidate for Appellate Judge, the Opponent of U. Z. Wiley. We present herewith the picture of Hon. Jernes T. Saunderson of Fowler, democratic candidate for Appellate Judge from this district. To most of the older residents of Jasper and surrounding counties Judge Saunderson is well and most favorably known, A brief sketch of his career is given herewith: James T. Saunderson was born and raised in Carroll county, Ind., and lived there until 1861. He enlisted in the 2d Indiana Cavalry Regt., and served almost three years in the war. After retutning home he read law at Monticello and located in Kentland in 1868 and engaged in the practice of law, and was known as one of the best and most successful lawyers in this section of the state. He practiced law at Kentland for 25 years, when leaving there and locating in the West, where he remained five years. He returned to Indiana in 1899 and located at Fowler, where he has since followed the practice of his profession, as a member of the firm of Saunderson & Hall. Mr. Saunderson comes from good stock. His father was Judge George C. Saunderson, who was one of the justices of the circuit court of Carroll county under the old Constitution, when the circuit court was composed of three judges. A respected citizen, an able lawyer, a man of dignified and commanding presence, unimpeachjable character and integrity, ■ Judge Saunderson would make an Appellate judge of whom every I citizen of Indiana might well feel proud. No voter will ever regret having cast a vote Judge ; Saunderson.

AUTUMN PRESERVING.

A F*ew Hints cum! Recipes For Apple*, Qalnoea, Peara. Eto. The first coming of frost marks the preserving season for many housekeepers, partly because green tomatoes, pears, apples and quinces are likely to be lower in price then than early tn the ecuson, and also because the work is more pleasant with the less ardent temperature of autumn mornings. It is hardly necessary to say that preserving does not change the quality of fruit. A poor, Savorless apple or pear will make an Insipid preserve. Fruit should be well ripened, but not mellow, as firmness is essential in preserves. Pears and quinces are usually best for the purpose when picked somewhat green aud ripened in a cool, dry place tn the bouse. Unless you prefer leathery pr<‘servea do not sprinkle the sugar over the fruit and allow it to stand and suck out the fruit juice. The quince as a preserve lias a very uncommon and characteristic flavor of its own to recommend It, besides the beautiful red color it takes when cooked long enough. For this preserve pare, core and quarter the quinces. Put them In the preserve pan with just sufficient water to cover tltem. Boil until t»eginning to get tender and then carefully lift out the fruit To each pound allow a half pound of sugar, and for each three pounds of sugar allow one pint of water, including what remained of the water in which the fruit was boiled. When the sugar Is dissolved and the sirup is boiling hot, put in the fruit and allow It to cook very slowly until It is quite tender, though not broken, and the sirup will jelly when a little is poured on a plate. Put the fruit in glass Jars and pour the sirup over it covering in the usual way. It is generally considered better to make up this preserve with equal quantities of quinces and apples, in which case the apples need not be previously boiled, but put In at the same time the quinces are removd to the hot sirup. The apples should be of a good, firm cooking variety, and they will acquire the flavor and color of the quinces. Sweet pickled apices are almost as delicious as i<ears or Cut them In halves, cutting through the stem and leaving tn the skin and core. Put three cloves In each half. Make a sweet sirup,.allowing to six pounds of apples three pounds of sugar aud a pint of vinegar. Bring the sirup to a boll, put the apples In aud cook until they can be pierced with a straw. Take out with a skimmer, pack In cans or Jara, cook sirup a little longer and pour over them

For preserved ix-utn wlect half a peck of nice fruit of medium size. Pare and cut In halves, remove the core and ■tfeni ami drop the fruit as you peel It In cold water. For six pounds of peace allow four potimln of sugar and one quart of water. Place In a prenerving kettle over the Are. As Boon as It Ixjthi remove the arum, put Id as many.pwun as will’conveniently lie in the elrup without crowding each other and boil from 10 to 15 minutes or until a straw will pierce through them easily Pour tlie hot fault into jars, fill up with the sirup and seal tight 4 A very rich green tomato preserve Is made as follows: To one pound of fruit use three-quarters of a pound of granulated sugar. Allow the yellow rind, shaved thin, and tlw juice of one lemon to two pounds of fmit. Cut the tomatoes around tn halves and then quarter the halves. Put the sugar on with just water enough to melt it, add the tomato and lemon and cook gently until the tomato is tender and traostnrrat.
