The rioting was the worst in the history of American occupation. Governor Francis B. Harrison was hero of the riot. Called from his bed, he went out and took command of the government forces and in a short while quelled the rioters. The riot had its origin in the killing of a white American police by members of the native constabulary.

"I don't see how you feed a family of five and pay so little for meat," said Mrs. Smith to Mrs. Jones who stood just over the back fence. For Mrs. Jones always served appetizing dishes of fresh meat, apparently in endless variety, and she never had big meat bills. "I'll show you how I do it," said Mrs. Jones to Mrs. Smith. "If you come out here every day this week we'll compare notes and find out the way to reduce meat bills and yet live as well if not better than ever." Monday's morning conference at the back fence discussed Sunday dinner which Mrs. Jones had made from 3½ pounds of chuck beef, a little oleomargarine, seasoning, and trimmings prepared as pot roast. The leftovers went into beef croquettes and were enough for Monday's dinner. "It cost me, at 20 cents a pound, just 70 cents for good meat for two meals for five people," said Mrs. Jones. Tuesday's report showed a bill of 75 cents for three pounds of spareribs, out of which Mrs. Jones had prepared a full meal of sauerkraut and spareribs in this manner: She put sporgoils in boiling water sautéed with one-half tablespoonful of salt and cooked until meat began to separate from the bones. She removed and arranged on a platter, surrounded with border of sanerkraut, one cupful of which had been previously heated. On Wednesday Mrs. Jones described how she had fried a pound and a half of calf's liver, costing 90 cents with onions and celery: 4 tablespoonfuls onions cut up fine. Seasoning. She said: "I put four tablespoonfuls of oleomargarine, four of diced celery, four of onions cut fine and seasoning into a pan; the liver sautéed in this sauce and served piping hot. I saved the leftovers for creamed meat." On Thursday she had cooked chopped beef in a baking dish, two pounds of hamburger coating $2 cents. The leftover went into creamed meat enough for Friday. "It can't be done," exclaimed Mrs. Smith, but Mrs. Jones furnished proof in the form of the recipes: COCKLE BURR LODGES IN BOYS THROAT. Cape Giradeau, Mo. Dec 27. Will Lawrence, 10 years old, was brought from Bell City to a hospital in Cape Giradeau today for relief from a cocke burr which he swallowed on Christmas day while hunting.

Money Consigned to Firm in Havana Stolen in New York. New York, Dec. 27.—Mail sacks containing $100,000 in cash consigned to a firm in Havana, were ransacked in the Post Office of that city several weeks ago and as yet the money has not been recovered, it was learned here today. Details of the theft were lacking Subscribe for the Gazette Chopped Beef. 2 pounds hamburger ground, ½ cupful tomato relish, ½ teaspoonful tabasco sauce, 1 can beets. Mix chopped beef with tomato relish. Add tabasco sauce. Season well with salt and pepper. Put into baking dish and bake two hours, basting frequently with high quality of table sauce. Serve garnished with beets cut into quarters. Creamed Meat. Add all leftovers together. Add one-half can pimentones, chopped, one green pepper and two and one-half cupfuls of white sauce made from flour, evaporated milk, water, oleomargarine and seasoning. Serve on rounds of toast. Saturday's meal was prepared by Mrs. Jones out of two and one-half pounds of flank steak for which she paid 65 cents, and which came on the table stuffed with bread crumbs, vegetables and seasoning. "Now," said Mrs. Jones, "let's add up and see what the week's meat supply has cost." This was what she figured: 3½ lbs. beef chuck at...$2.20 $ .70 3 lbs. sparrows at...25 .75 1½ lbs. calf's liver at...40 .60 2 lbs. hamburger steak at...13 .62 2½ lbs. flank steak at...25 .65 $3.02 "Some saving!" said Mrs. Smith. "Do you know what I have been paying for the same amount of food value, and not as much variety at that?" She jotted down her own expenditures for a week which were these: Monday—1½ lbs. rib tamb chops at.....$5.00 $ .87 Tuesday—2 lbs. sirloin at .42 .84 Wednesday—2½ lbs. beef roast (prime ribs) at...40 1.00 Thursday—1½ lbs. veal off leg at.....45 .67 Friday—1½ lbs. pork tenderloin at.....55 .82 Saturday—1½ lbs. calf sweetbreads at.....55 .80 Sunday—3½ lbs. chicken at.....45 1.57 $0.57 (These prices were accurate at the time this article was prepared.

CHICAGO, ILL. December 24. It was learned in banking circles here today that W. F. Carter, an attorney of St. Louis, Mo representing a number clients, had purchased for cash property formerly owned by the Illinois Southern Railway Company, consisting of 140 miles of railroad, extending from Salem, Ill., on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to Bismarck, Mo. on the Iron Mountain Railroad with a transfer at Ste. Genevieve, and various items of rolling stock. This round was one of the promotions of John Walsh, the Chicago banker, and was taken over by the Clearing House Association of Chicago as one of the assets of his defunct bank at the time of that HOUSE PAYS TRIBUTE TO 'JOE' CANNON HOUSE PAYS TRIBUTE TO 'JOE' CANNON Veteran Congressman All Smiles as Clark Showers Praise on Him Washington, December 29 -An unusual tribute was paid today by the House of Representatives to Representative Joseph G Cannon of Illinois, who has established a new record for length of service in Congress. "Uncle Joe" was all smiles as Champ Clark of Missouri the Democratic leader, and others told of the veteran's accomplishments during his long service. When it came his time to talk Cannon described the ceremony as a wake and said he was beginning to wonder if he was not already realizing the hopes of those who desire to return from the other world to communicate with friends still participating in the ordinary affairs of the earth. Many big things happened in 1872 the year he was elected to Congress, not the least of which was a violent eruption of Vesuvius, he said. bank's failure. The price paid was not made public, but it is understood that it was entirely satisfactory to the committee of the Clearing House Association. The original cost of the property was $7,000,600. It is said that the purchasers intend to expend at least $300,000 on the rehabilitation of the property and those familiar with the matter are of the opinion that the purchase of the property insures the improvement and satisfactory operation of the road. Under an orddr of the United States District Court at Chicago, the operation of the road was abandoned in December 1919, and it is expected that news of the purchase and the contemplated reopening of the service will be received with a great deal of satisfaction by those industries and mines along the lines of the Illinois Southern Railway. It is predicted that the operation of the road will relieve the congestion of coal shipments through the St. Louis gateway by more than 800,000 tons. EX-SOLDIER MORTALLY WOUNDS TWO OF KIN Allen Hicks, Attacked on Return from Church, Shoots Uncle McLEANSBORO, ILL. Dec. 26 — Allen Hicks, an ex-service man, last night shot and mortally wounded his uncle, C. H. Webb and his son at the Webb home five Miles southeast of here. Hicks and the Webbs had trouble last week over a road and Hicks received a severe beating at their hands. "Speaker Gillett and Mr. Clark were approaching the polls that year he said" he said and Jim Mann at 17, was trying to decide whether he would be a farmer or a lawyer. Rainey and Mondell were beginning to figure life in percentages, and the ambitions of Claud Kitchin and Nick Longworth at the age of 3 were centered about their first pants." Admitting that he had been in Congress off and on longer than other members. Cannon declared he was not the veteran in continuous service. "Gillett, Clark, Mann, Butler, Green of Massachusetts, Moon and Sims rank with me in that line," the added, "because I had two vacations which I did not seek, and those four years were the longest years that have intervened since I first came to Washington. Last night as Hicks and a young lady were returning from church he was attacked by the Webbes and was being beaten with a club when he drew a revolver and commenced firing. One bullet struck the elder Webb and his son was shot three times. Physicia as say neither of them can live. ONE DRINK BOUGHT FROM BELLBOY KILLS GUEST. JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Dec. 24.—Carter W.

Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh that deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. O.

RECOGNIZED AN OLD FRIENI Countryman Visiting in City Had N Fear of Being Harmed by "Thrashing Machine." An elderly countryman stood on a Broadway curb with more fear in his heart than he had ever experienced it his home county and more than his son had experienced in Argonne forest. To him the crossing of that crowded street was truly the "great adventure. In the middle of it were two lines of tracks, up and down which hurtle great "tanks" of street cars—jugger nauts, seemingly intended for the so purpose of crushing his aged limb should be venture into their path. On either side of them were endless lines of chugging trucks, with an no casual horse-drawn vehicle, and dodging in and about, were touring cars and autos of all kinds. Now and then the sharp whistle of a traffic policeman would spell safety to the acrobatic and initiated, who dashed across the street, skillfully dodging traffic, which turned the corner in a way no one but an old New Yorker can understand, and even he cannot explain. Finally there rumbled down the street a steam roller used in asphalt pavement work, belching clouds of smoke but attracting no attention. The old countryman was electrified. Resolutely he deserted his shore of safety and plunged across the street in his very path. "Huh," he grunted as he reached the other side. "That's one thing I ain't afraid of. They used to scare horses when I was a kid; used to make a man out of the thrashing crew walk ahead of them. I know they won't hurt you but I don't know what these other things will do. Never expected to see a thrashing engine here, but you never can tell. New York's a great city, all right."—New York Evening Sun. Playing at Soldiering. Some Australian Wellington will probably trace a modern Waterloo to the playing fields of Melbourne or Sydney. Australia has recognized as the result of her war lessons that intelligence, not monotony, is an invaluable test of the soldier. The old wearsome drill-ground system of training cadets is fast giving way to the new plan which makes a play of work. While the boys are taught discipline and drill they are mainly shown how to play basket ball and to compete in jumping, tug of war and swimming. Those intrusted with the making of a new Australian army are confident that the best soldier will be the happy, well-trained sportsman, who has learned to play his side, to keep his temper and to think intelligently. There can be little doubt that the change is keenly appreciated by young Australia—Christian Science Monitor. Hunt in Autos in Alaska. Times have changed in Alaska from the days when trappers mushed over the snow fields to hunt for game. Citizens of Fairbanks are hunting caribou by automobile, so say recent arrivals at Seattle. Automobiles are coming into their own in the territory and the bureau is advised that "the days of real sport" around the northern Alaska town are featured by motoring out to the herd where thousands of caribou are leisurely grazing, bagging a few animals, dumping the carcasses into the tonneau of the car and driving back with the winter's meat supply.

Manager 003 Pearl St. Metropolis, Ill ALL WELCOME IN LUXEMBURG Little State Cosmopolitan in the Extreme, but Second to None in Patriotic Spirit. We live at the crossroads of the nations, remarks the Luxemburg Zeitung. We are of all the peoples of the world those most cosmopolitan in spirit. On July 14 there was a French evening on the parade grounds, and everyone was enthusiastic for France. On July 20 we had a Belgian evening in the same place and again everyone was inspired with enthusiasm. Should there be an American, Italian, Czechoslovak or Polish evening any pleasant summer night, the throng would greet it with the same enthusiasm. We like to have people of other nations as our guests. We wish them to feel at home in our midst. A stranger who does not know us—and many who have lived among us fall to know us—might fancy that we lack national sentiment. But precisely the reverse is true. Our national sentiment is so deep that we are like a tree whose trunk stands unshaken when its crown is rustled by the wind of sympathy for other countries. Last Wednesday, after our French and Belgian evenings, we had a Luxemburg evening. The parade ground was too small and the firmament was too low to contain the enthusiasm of the multitude. We were at home among ourselves. The leader had provided a program of old, modern, and very recent Luxemburg music. During the choruses the thousands surrounding the platform stood as reverently as if they were in church. When applause was chilled for it was so thunderous as to be almost intimidating. The depth and sincerity of a nation's patriotism is not measured by the area of its territory. FEAR EPIDEMIC OF TYPHUS British Authority Tells of Danger to the World Because of Bad Conditions in Russia. Dr. L. Haden Guest of London, who has been investigating conditions in Russia, reports to the Lancet (London) that the whole of that country has been swept by typhus and relapsing fever, and that all indications point unmistakably to a formidable epidemic in the cold winter. Cholera also has made its appearance and small-pox is widely prevalent. The Lancet warns the world at large that undesirable immediate and effective steps be taken these frightful diseases will spread through the border states to other countries, and before long will appear all over the world. "The council of the League of Nations has thoroughly studied the situation, with the aid of some of the best-known epidemiologists in the world; they have a reasonable and economical program, and have appointed consultants, but the actual work cannot proceed until they have obtained money guarantees from the different nations, which so far have not materialized, except in the case of a few countries, including Great Britain and Canada. The future of the matter may well prove, in the parlance of the day, an 'acid test' of the reality of the league as a family of nations, ready to act for the common good and to protect members of the Page Four W.
