A lady friend who was setting out
for the Paris Exposition applied to
the gentleman in question for
some recipe which would convert

turn, into q glossy black. This
wicked fellow deliberately impart-

full use of which her still abundant
locks will be bright and vernal
green by the time she arrives at
the Exposition. She NAV not en-

The picnic and ball at the City
Gardens to-day will be one of the

best in the State and the grounds
are provided with everything nee
essary for the amusement of Wis

taken every precaution to exclude
improper persons, families need be
under no apprehension of being
brought into contact with undesir-
able persons. Refreshments of all
kinds can be had on the grounds.

the evening of the first days trial

court room to clean up and while
there saw the skull and inconti-
nently vamosed the ranch. Since
that he cannot be induced TO enter
the room.

sumo of the evidence, and an earu-
est appeal for his client, and doubt
less had great weight on the minds
of the intelligent men who COM
posed the jury. He avoided alto
gether the ford and ornate style
that so often characterizes the Of
