A Bunch of Asparagus.
This vegetable is a native of Europe and
in its wii.J st:ite is a sea coast plant. The
young shouts torn the edible portion, and
thew are made mre succulent by culti
vation. This plant was known to the
ancient Greeks and Komans, who valued
it for it-s medicinal properties as wt-il as
t-steerned it as a delicacy for the table.
Asparasus contains a. crystal line a'ka
"id. astriieint1, which is thought to pos-s-ss
medical qualities .similar to the water
of sul phur sun ngs. This aspH.ru tfine. a
nit r'-'-: r."us su lis la. nee found in vesr-
tabids, bnioriKs to the albuminates, but
las m nuT ril i ve value. As para sjine is
fiiso accrt-tiitc-d with having powvr to act
as a cardiac sedative and to quiet palpi
tations. TTIR BEST VARIETY.
Although the v,hite asparagus brings
the hig hc-st price, it is not ual to tae
nialt, preen variety in taste or d'-Iieauy.
It is probably preferred by many on ac
count of its being more pleasing to the
eye whfn served.
Th- tender part of the stalk is easily
digested when eaten in small quantities
and much relished by invalids. It cer
tainly is one if our most popular and
niat delicious vegetable:?, but is not cul
tivated to such an extent as to make it
plentiful or the price within the reach of
ail: therefore it must stiil be regarded lis
fornewliat of a luxurv.
I 'O i. K I X G- A PA RAGt'S.
Asparairus. like most fresh preen vesre
tables, is peneraily overcooked and the
I'.a vor and pud qua lit ies are lost and
spoiled. If asparagus is to be kept for
Sume time before it is cooked, pi ace t
bunches in about an inch of cold water,
wjtto tops uppermost, and keep in a cool
place.
ihot tells tis that there are only four
ways of preparing asparagus without
changing or destroying the natural taste
of t he plant. The simplest manner, of
course, is the best, if you wish to enjoy
the full tiavor. Each stalk muat be thor
oughly washed in cold water to free it
from grit or sand, and the tough end
broken off, as all below the tender por
tion is woody and useless as food, except,
perhaps, to tiavor soups. Bind the stalks
in small bunches with a strip of muslin:
plnr 3i in a kettle and pour over them .iust
sufficient boiling water to merely cover;
simmer gently until tender, but not soft.
It must not be boiled too long, a no! is
really better a little underdone. Take it
from the water as soon as tender. Take
ip a stalk by the thick end. holding it
between the lingers in a horizontal posi
tion: it must be flexible enough to bend
slightly, but not fail heavily.
The time required to properly cook as
paragus depends on its freshness and age;
fresh and tender stales require but a
very few minutes, not more than 15 or -.
If older or slightly wilted, from 20 to SO
minutes -will be necepsarv.
HOW TO EAT ASPARAGUS.
A spa rag as is eaten with the fingers
whether it is served hot or cold ; "and
when arranged on toast it should be
dished with the white ends of the aspara
gus on the toast and onlv the tips covered
with the sauce or melted butter; this
leaves the en-Is dry. so they may be taken
up with the lingers.
Do not throw away the watr in which
the nspam gu has been cooked, or the
tough enc:s of the stalks. t'...k the lat
ter in a Utile water, add this water to
that remaining after cooking the tender
stalks and use it fr making a cream of
asparagus soup, adding a few of the tips
and tender stalks cut into small pieces.

Chicago, April 24. Chief of Police Jo

evening to Mayor Harrison.
For some time it has been evident
from statements made by the mayor

Chief Kipley, and as the appointment is-
to be announced next Mondav. the
chief decided to take matters into h:s
own hands. He called upon the mayor
and asked him in specific terms if he
was wanted for another term. Th
mayor was as specific as the chief, and
told hm he had no intention of reap
pointing him. The chief then went back
to his office, wrote out his resignation,
sent it to the mayor, and. calling- up
the police stations in the city, an

Officials of the Rock Island Visit
Topeka.
Stop Long Enough to Look Oyer
Freight House Plans.
GREATER FACILITIES.
That Is What the Rock Island
Must Rare.
Promotions Which Are Effect
ire on May 1.
H. 'A'. Parker, first vice president, J.
M. Johnson, third vice president, A. J.
Hitt, general superintendent, and W. E.
Dauchy, chief engineer, all officials of
the Rock Island road were in Topeka
yesterday afternoon and last night until
midnight.
The officials say that the only object
of their trip is a general inspection from
Chicago to Chickasha, I. T., but simul
taneously with their arrival in Topeka
came the newa from Chicago of certain
changes, which made their visit here a
little out of the ordinary. As announc
ed in the State Journal these changes
result in the promotion of Mr. Hitt to
the position of general manager of the
system. "W". II. Stillwell of Topeka, who
is now superintendent of lines west of
the Missouri river, will on May 1 become
superintendent of lines east of the Mis
souri, with headquarters at Davenport,
Iowa. Mr. Stillwell has been here as
superintendent nearly six years, coming
in the fall of 1S95. Previous to that he
had had charge of nearly every Rock
Island division in this part of the coun
try. i
He came here directly, however, from
T3es Moines, la. He will be succeeded at
Topeka by C. H. Hubbell, superintend
ent of Chicago terminals.
By these changes, H. A. Parker, who
is at present first vice president and
general manager of the system is left
with the position of first vice president
alone. When seen by a reporter last
evening, on board his private car 100,
Mr. Parker said: "The object of the
changes which become effective May 1
is to relieve me of some of the details
which are connected with the general
managership, the business of the road
having expanded very greatly of late."
Mr. Parker has been in poor health
for some time and it ia this perhaps
more than anything else that has caused
the appointment of Mr. Hitt to the posi
tion of general manager.
During the afternoon the party spent
the time looking over plans for the en
largement of the freight house in To
peka. "We have outgrown our facili
ties in Topeka," said Mr. Parker in
speaking of the enlargement of the
freight depot here. "It is a matter of
necessity that we make soma addition
to these facilities."
It is understood that the present
freight house will be given a second
story aa well as being lengthened. "The
officials did not say when the alterations
would be made, but it is expected that
they will be begun soon.
A. J. Hitt, who will become general
manager, formerly had his headquarters
in Topeka as superintendent. He left
here in 1S95 when TV. H. Stillwell came
to this place. He is a man in the prime
of life and is excellently qualified for
the new position which he will assume
on May 1. i
AFTER OMAHA LINE.
Another Emporia Delegation Goes to
Omaha.
Emporia, 'April 14. Another commit
tee of Emporia business men went to
Omaha today to assist in pushing the
Omaha, Emporia and Southern bond
proposition. The South Omaha Com
mercial club sent for them. They in
tend to have a mass meeting in South
Omaha, where all the stock yards are
located, and so it was thought the prop
er thing for a strong delegation of cattle
men from the other end of the line,
where the cattle come from that ill
keep the stock yards and packing house
men busy, to be present and assist.
The delegation consisted of Major Cal
vin Hood, president of the Emporia Na
tional bank, and one of the largest cat
tle dealers in the country; C. A. Stan
nard, proprietor of the Sunny Slope
farm, famous for its Herefords: P. C.
Neuman, president -of the Citizens' Na
tional bank; John Watson. J. E. Lam
bert, O. M. Wilhite. R. J. Edwards and
Judge Dennis Madden.
Kecruits Sent to Fort Riley.
Leavenworth, Kas., April 24. Four
troops of the new Fourteenth cavalry left
here on a special train for Fort Riley,
Kas. Each troop was made up of eighty
enlisted 'men. and they were equipped
with regular army clothing, carbines,
sabres, but no horses.
These were mostly young soldiers who
enlisted within the last six weeks. They
have been through all the preliminary
drill, and have been waiting in vain for
horses for a month. It is said that the
horses will be shipped into Fort Riley
for them within two weeks.
The men are under command of Major
Charles M. O'Connor, who will command
the Fort Riley garrison.
Disinherited Hi3 Family.
Fort Scott. Kas., April 24. James Lewis,
an Allen county farmer of large estate,
died last week. "and a son with whom he
had quarreled immediately secured ap
pointment as administrator and took pos
session of a herd of cattle and other per
sonal property, which the deceased left
with a nephew and niece. Frank and Alice
Snvder. It has been found that Lewis
had left a will, disinheriting his entire
family and bequeathing all his property
to the nephew and niece. They have gone
into court to recover the herd of cattle.
Billiard Halls Slust Go.
McPherson, Kas., April 21. Under the
direction of the W. C. T. I., it is said,
petitions were circulated asking that the
billiard halls of this city be ordered
closed. It is said that the petitions
were very generally signed, and it is the
purpose of the promoters to have them
presented to the city council at the next
meeting and to argue for the close of all
billiard halls in the city.

MACHINERY VOTE.
Mock Election to Be Held at
Commercial Clab Rooms.
Will Test Machines Proposed to
Bo Built Here.
LOOKING AT BUILDINGS
Deal For Location For Factory
Nearly Closed.
What the Enterprise Would
Mean to Topeka.
On ."Wednesday, May 8, a sham elec
tion will be held at the Commercial
club rooms. It will be for the purpose
of testing the convenience and advan
tages of the automatic voting machine.
The demonstration will be with two
machines, one' made by a Wisconsin
firm and the other invented and manu
factured , by L. R. Winslow, a Kansas
man. . ,
The ballots used in the last presiden
tial election and the last municipal
election will be used. The machine is
so constructed that both men and wo
men vote on it, and wnen a woman is
voting the mechanism of the machin
is locked for the offices and proposi
tions on which a woman is not allowed
to vote.
The regular monthly meeting of the
club will be held on the evening of the
Sth of May, and after all who desire to
try the new machine have done so dur
ing the day, the members of the club
will each cast a ballot on the machine,
after which the club will sit as an elec
tion board and the returns will be
given out. The mechanism of the ma
chine is constructed so that the total
vote of both male and female voters
is given after each vote has been cast,
for each office or proposition.
"You may say," said Major T. J. An
derson this morning to a State Journal
reporter, "that everyone who wants to
may come up and vote, and that they
may tell their friends to come also. We
want to give the machine a thorough
trial.
"Repeaters may on this day be In
their element," he continued, "for we
won't care how many ballots have been
cast."
The Winslow machine will In all
probability be manufactured in Tope
ka. L. T. Yount, ex-commissioner of
elections, who is one of the stockhold
ers of the company, is making an ef
fort to bring the factory here.
"I have an option on a building that
will be suitable for the purpose of a
factory," said Mr. Yount today, "and I
have instructions to close the deal for
the purchase of it if the Commercial
club gives the matter a favorable hear
ing." i
The location of the plant in this city
means a considerable addition to the
population. The foreman and the ex
pert machinists have already been en
gaged at Columbus, and all these men,
to the number of at least 100, together
with their families, will be brought here
to locate.
The reason that the; men would br
brought here from the east is that ex
perts are required to make the working
parts of the voting machine. The parts
are as delicate and Intricate as the
parts of a watch and a sufficient num
ber of expert workmen could not he
procured in a western city.
"The woodwork of the machine would
be contracted for at one of the planing
mills here," said Mr. Yount. "The ma
chine would have a great sale from the
start and would keep the factory busy
all the time. The machine has been
adopted by Canada and 12. states of the
union, and has the approval of con
gress. It will eventually find its way
into use in every voting precinct in the
United States, as well as other coun
tries where ballots are used."
Mr. Winslow has been making ar
rangements to locate the plant for the
manufacture of the machines at Colum
bus, O., but through the influence ot
Mr. Yount and others, taken with ad
vantages that would accrue to the com-
rjanv by being located in the west, ne
has made a proposition that if Topeka
will subscribe to the eamtal stock ot
the company to the amount of $15,000,
the plant will be located here. Over $3.
000 of this amount has been arranged
for within the past few days and Air.
Yount is confident that the remainder
will be raised and the plant located
here within two months.

How You May Obtain a Lasting
Cure From Piles.
No Surgical Operation, No Pain, Trifling
Expense A Simple, Harmless Rem
edy but it Does the Work.
There are some people who have piles
as regularly and frequently as other
people have colds. Any little bowel
trouble will bring them on. any extra
ex'ertion, as in lifting, will produce thera.
and in fact will often appear without
any apparent provocation. Piles, how
ever, is much more serious than a cold,
as the tendency is alwas s to grow worse
until the trouble becomes deep seated
and chronic, or develcpes into some fa
tal rectal disease.
While there are many pile remedies
which give relief, yet there is but one
which not only gives instant relief but
at the same time makes a permanent
cure, and that Is the well known Pyra
mid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple,
harmless vegetable ingredients, but
combine as effectively and act so
promptly and thoroughly that it cures
every form of piles whether itching,
blind, bleeding or protruding. In long
standing cases the Pyramid Pile Cure
has proven to be the only certain cure
except a surgical operation, and its ad
vantages over an operation are many,
as it is painless, causes no delay or in
terference with daily occupation and,
last but noe least, is cheaper than anj
surgical operation could possibly be,
costing 50 cents a package at any drug
store. The cases that the Pyramid Pile
Cure will not reach are so few that
physicians are doing away with opera
tions for piles and depending on this
cheap but effective remedy to accom
plish a complete cure, and it never dis
appoints except in cases beyond the
reach of medical skill. The Pyramid
Pile Cure is prepared by the Pyramid
Drug Co.. of Marshall, Mich., and for
sale by druggists everywhere at 50 cents
per package. Each package contains a
treatise on cause and cure of piles, to
gether with testimonials from every sec
tion of this country. .......

"I now take pleasure in notifying you

it proved to be just the thing for him.
His appetite is good and everything he
eats seems to agree with him. His cough
has left him and he is gaining in flesh,
and seems to be well every way. I hope
others will try your medicine and receive
the benefits that we have." Mrs. Kd
