FEDERAL COURT DATES HAVE BEEN CHANGED Judge McPherson Orders Adjournment of Court Terms at Creston and Keokuk-Spencer Hearing at Council Bluffs. Judge McPherson, of the federal court, has made order adjourning the term of court at Keokuk, from Oct. 17 to Nov.

7, and the term at Creston from Oct. 17 to Oct. 24. The fact that the dates of the opening of court at Keokuk and Creston are the same, is responsible for the change. When the Creston jurisdiction was established an oversight in the congressional action fixed the date of convening court in the town of Creston the same as at Keokuk.

The matter has never been attended to in congress, and thus the presiding judge must adjourn court to a later date to avoid the conflict. Federal court will be convened at Council Bluffs Sept. 19, and at Davenport Oct, 3, in regular term. The Des Moines term will be called Nov. 21.

The first matter to be heard by Judge McPherson at the Council Bluffs term will be the hearing of the motion to quash the indictment against Carl N. Spencer, charged with the embezzlement of funds from the Des Moines National bank. MRS. JOHN R.

Friday is Set for Hearing of the Question, First of Series Likely To Happen. The state railroad commission will visit the town of Melvin, on the Rock Island railroad, Friday for the purpose of hearing the complaint of the farmers of that vicinity against the Rock Island. The farmers desire to build an elevator at Melvin. The railroad has refused to give them a site. They appealed then to the railroad commission and the governor.

The hearing Friday is the result. It was in respect to the Melvin situation that the railroad commission recently notified the Rock Island that it might recede from its former position relative to sites for elevators which farmers desire to build. This position was that in the absence of complaint or showing that railroads were discriminating in favor of line elevators or were attempting to control prices of grain, the commission would not interfere in the matter. But the commission called the attention of the road to the further fact that circumstances might arise under which it would feel impelled to alter its former ruling. Nevertheless, the road declined to permit the farmers at Melvin to occupy a site, claiming that there was no available site on the right of way at the station and that the line elevator there was taking care of the grain business.

It was offered, however, that it the line elevator could be shown to be paying less for grain than it should or that any other objectionable circumstance existed. the farmers would be furnished the site desired. The commission goes to Melvin to make inquiry into the facts. It is supposed that it has in mind the charges which the farmers generally have made as to the discriminations in favor of line elevators and will give the case at Melvin careful consideration on that account. INTERURBAN COMPETITION.

Suit Brought at Marion By a Hardin County Man Against Rock Island. A dispatch states that J. W. Scott, formerly clerk of the courts of Hardin county, has brought suit against the Rock Island railroad at Marion, Linn county, to recover $58 from the Rock Island railroad, claiming discrimination in passenger rates applying to points on the old Burlington, Cedar Rapids Northern railroad 1 between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. The schedule which the Rock Island inaugurated between the two points recently in competition with the interurban railroad, between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, did not include the points between the two cities.

Net only applied to the through traffic between them and people who resided at points between the two got no reduction in their passenger rate, This, it is said, is the thing which originally called the attention of the state railroad commission to the question of whether a branch of a steam railroad may charge a less passenger fare than the remainder of its system within the state, a question which the commission has answered in the negative. The Scott suit is understood to be based on the discrimination between those who used the Rock Island for the through trip between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City and those who resided at points between the two cities. It raises the whole question, however, and in the suit may be determined the right of the company to put on low rates at all, or whether the rates established between the points in question are, in fact, excursion rates, as claimed by the railroad.

Suite 4, Rollins 4th Walnut Des Moines, Iowa. of butter, pour in a. cupful of oyster liquor and bake for half an hour. Potage Jaqueline. Cooking and Serving By Mae L.

Eastman. Frying is the simplest method in the world of cooking fish: Pork fat, lard or drippings are all used, and the spider or kettle is half filled, if lard is used. It is better to sprinkle the fish with salt after being cleaned and let it stand for some time, as the flavor is then improved. It should be rolled in flour or fine Indian meal and cooked to a delicate brown. There are places where fine bread or cracker crumbs are preferred to flour or meal.

Fish steaks are better if dipped in beaten egg and rolled in crumbs, and salmon has a better flavor if fried in butter. Large fish are the only kind selected for baking, and properly prepared and cooked an inferior variety will be most appotizing. The inside of the fish should be rubbed with salt and stuffed with this dressing: With a bowl of cracker crumbs or bread crumbs mix a quarter of a pound of salt pork, chopped fine, a small onion or a. tablespoonful of chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Cut gashes along the back of the fish, about an inch apart, and into each put a small piece of fat pork.

securing it with a small skewer. After the fish is placed in the pan dredge with salt, pepper and flour, pour a cupful of water in the bottom and bake for about an hour, basting frequently and adding more water when needed. Squirrel Stew. Cut a pair of dressed squirrels into pieces convenient for serving. Cook two sliced onions in hot butter in the bottom of the stew pan until slightly colored, then dredge the squirrel with salt, pepand flour, and cook in the same fat, per, adding more if needed to brown them.

When brown all over add boiling water to cover and let them cook until the bones slip out. Then remove the bones, the meat back, and add one can of put tomatoes, one-half can each of small lima beans, corn and okra pods. Let them cook ten minutes longer, or until the tomatoes are well cooked, add salt, pepper, and a little sugar, and if the vegetables have not thickened the mixture sufficiently stir in a tablespoonful of butter rubbed smooth with one of flour. Serve very hot. Ragout of Mutton.

Put one tabespoonful of butter in a frying pan and when melted add one of flour and let it brown. Cut a carrot and onion into dice, add them to the mutton, cook while stirring frequently, until all are browned and in twenty minutes add one and one-half cupfuls of stock or hot water and a seasoning of salt and pepper, a sprig of parsley, a bay leaf and one clove. Cover closely and simmer for two hours, add a cupful of cooked peas, simmer ten minutes longer and remove. A ragout can be made from cold mutton by placing two cupfuls of the meat cut into inch squares, one sliced onion, one cupful of stock, two tablespoons of butter, one cupful of peas and salt and pepper to taste, into a saucepan. Cover closely and simmer very slowly for one hour, stirring occasionally in a manner to avoid breaking the meat or peas.

When ready to serve pour on to a hot dish and lay around the edge and close to the meat crisp lettuce leaves and farina balls. Oysters and Macaroni. Boil half a pound of macaroni and drain it. Dip two dozen oysters in fine oatmeal and broil until light brown in color. Butter a pan, put in a layer of macaroni, a grating of cheese, a thin slice of lemon and salt to taste, then a loyer of oysters, and continue until the dish is full with macaroni covered with bread crumbs on top.

Scatter with bits Fish. To a quart of chicken stock made with herbs, onions and a bay leaf for seasonIng, and the yolks of five eggs, mixed with a teacupful of cream and one tablespoonful of butter. By the way, this mixture should only be brought to the broiling point or the eggs will curdle and must be added to the stock bit by bit, stirring slowly. Put in three teaspoonfuls of boiled rice. some young carrots, cut into dice, bits of celery or cooked peas if you have any.

The seasoning is of sugar, salt and pepper. Savory Rice. Spread three cups of cold boiled rice upon a platter and set in the open oven that every grain may dry. Meanwhile heat a little butter in the frying pan and fry a sliced onion in it. When the slices are browned remove them with a perforated spoon, and lay the rice by the spoonful into the pan.

Stir until each grain is coated with the butter; turn the rice into a heated colander, shake hard, and set at the side of the range for five minutes. Serve in a deep vegetable dish. Tomato Salad. Select six medium sized tomatoes, scald them and skin, then lay them for several hours on ice. Shortly before serving cut each tomato into four pieces and lay them in a salad bowl.

Mix four tablespoonfuls of fine salad oil with three tablespoonfuls of vinegar; add half a teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper and one teaspoonful each fine chopped chervil, tarragn and chives; pour this dressing over the tomatoes: lay small lettuce leaves in a circle around the salad and serve.
