Go to School Tomorrow
Friday Il rather an unusual day ON
which to commence school, but q rule Of
tho board requires school to reopen ON the
first school day Of September, which hap.
pens this year to be Friday. Teachers
are rather pleased than otherwise with the
arrangement. They say that opening day
is the most tiresOme and labOriOus Of the
session. and as it falls ON Friday they will
have Saturday and Sunday to rest and be
refreshed for Mondays duties. Besides
it is not likely that thcre will I've such
rush Of pupils on Friday as there would
be had tho opening becn postponed until
Monday, and thus they will have two days
instead Of ono in which to organize their
schools. Tho pupils should remember.
however. that those who are " on :ime''
tomorrow will have q choice Of
seats and some other advantages
that those who wait until Monday will not
enjoy. They should SEQ to it, therefore,
that their books and states and stationery
arc promptly gathered together and put
in condition for an early start Tomorrow.

THE CROOKED CASHIER
How tho Bank of Kewanee. ILL.,, was Plum


dored.
DR.. J. S. Scott, who was arrested in 81:
Louis by a detective on the charge OF be-
ing implicated in tho Kewanee ILL.,, bank
robbery and taken to Chicago, was in
Kewaneo at the time OF tho robbery, but
says he had nothing to do with it, and
knows nothing about it. Scott was init
mate with Pratt, tho cashier, and Welch,
and the intimacy is beloved to have
caused Pratt's downfall.
The detective who has been working
tho Kewanco bank robbery case says CASH
ier Pratt made full confession, and took
him to the spot in his fathers barnyartl
where he had buried 5000 in gold, taken
by him the day before the robbery. Pratt
lays the blame at tho door of DR.. Scott,
who says, led him astray, taught him to
play poker, etc. Pratt is son of tho
Kewanee postmaster, teacher of the
Sunday school, and was thought to be
above suspicion. He seems now to have
forged checks to the amount of $1,000,
which was paid by him. The allegation
is that Scott procured the checks and Pratt
forged the signatures and Welsh
turned them in, taking certificates of
deposit for them, in order not to excite
suspicion. In addition to the $G, 900 re-
covered from Pratt 50, 500 have been re.
covered from Welch, and the theory of the
detectives is that this is about all that
was taken at the time. Possibly $1,000
more was spent by the robbers. The be-
lief is that Pratt cooked up the books to
mako it appear that $50, 600 was taken, in
order to clear up all his shortcomings at
once. What first attracted attention to
Pratt was the finding of five kilograms
from him in Welch's valise, and Scott was
uncovered through an incautious letter
written by him to Welch, at Peoria, and
in Welch's absence opened by his wife and
turned over to the detectives.

A rour-year Old Girl Abducted From In
Front OF Her Home.
The kidnapping Of little girl named
Lizzie Selden, aged four years, from the
sidewalk in front of her fathers residence
No. 226 Carlton avenue, Brooklyn, has
created considerable excitement in that
city. The children were in tho habit of
playing on the sidewalk, as it is 4 retired
neighbOrhOud, and fow wagons pass
through tho streets. About $3.50 Monday
afternoon Julia Selden went to buy some
candy, leaving Lizzio playing with a five
year old boy named Freddie Sherwood,
and when she returned both the boy and
Lizzie were missing. About six o'clock
Freddie came walking down Carlton
avenue. pulling along with him
u dolls carriage that belonged to
Lizzie. Freddie said that while he was
playip. with Lizzie woman dressed in
black talked to them and asked them to
20 and walk. She promised them candy,
and said she would take them to Wash
ingtOn park and show them where Mr..
Washington lived. She took them to
WillOughby street. and then ono block
farther to Washington park. Freddy says
they wore long timo in tho park and
went all over it. Tho woman gave Lizzie
q large colored card with pictures Of
women on it. She told Freddy she would
got him ono when she went after the
candy Next she left the park and walked
up Cumberland street to Lafayette avenue.
Sho took them to the front of G. E. Ander-
sons bakery, 120 Lafayette avenue, and
told Freddy to wait there while she went
with Lizzie and bought the candy. Lizzie
was reluctant to leave Freddy, but finally
consented to do SO.
So far rs can bo learned the woman
took Lizzie down Lafayette avenue to
Fulton street and entered tho drug store
of J. o. Barnaby, 700 Fulton street. She
asked him if he had any candy, and he
replied that he did not keep it. She then
drank glass of lemonade and asked him
for cOlOred card from package which
lay on the counter. He gave her ono of
the cards, and she gave it to tho little girl.
The woman and child then went to the
confectionery store of William Force,
few doors above, on tho opposite side of
tho way, 795 Fulton street. Leaving the
child near tho door sle asked for a stick of
candy. MIR. Force g ives tho first trusty
description of the woman. Shc was Of medi-
um height, of rather stout build, with black
hair, black eyes, and dark complexion.
Sho was dressed in black dress of rough
looking cloth, which seemed tho worse for
wear. Her face was plain, and she ap-
peared very common kind of woman. A
vigorous search was at once instituted for
the missing child, but rs yet without sue
cess. Superintendent Campbell has re-
turned from his vacation in order to take
charge of the case. He blieves that it was
not prcarranged affair. but that tie
woman was attracted by the appearance of
the child. The police of New York are
informed that the woman, accompanied
by the child, had been seen begging in the
BoTcry liquor stores, that they had stop
houses arc being searched by the police |
guarded.

conversation at parties that it gives
a better tone TO it to bring in some
historic subject instead of continu.
ally talking about the weather,
or something else OF that
nature. He was at q church
sociable not long ago and created a
good deal of interest by bringing up
the subject of the prize fight be-
tween Sullivan and Paddy Ryan,
but he said they didn't seem to catch

got through he said he could have

who, when he heard that the gentle
man was from Milwaukee, said:

he wished he had as many dollars as
he knew the bishop, iand feeling in
his coat pocket among some letters,
81 have got a permit from the bish-
OPP to shoot ducks OIL Sunday, and l
suppose shall have 10 divide with
him." And he looked as solemn as
a statue and looked through his
pockets as though anxious to find
the "permit" to show to the local
preacher, so that there need not be
any misunderstanding. The minis
ter sighed and went away as though
his heart was burdened.-PecES

He was a romantic youth, and when
he heard of the sweet old custom of
hanging May baskets, he grappled the
idea as the noble red man grapples the
vulgar demijohn. In the dusky gloom
of the evening he slid beneath the win.
dow of his best girl and neatly attached
to the door bell a gorgeous compound of
tissue paper and taffy, warranted to melt
the stoutest heart. Then he just raised
his mothers wooden pestle and hit that
door g serious knock that would have
brought the dullest maiden to her feet,
but unfortunately the house was built by
contract, and that pestle flew through
that panel. and before that young man
could slip through the picket fence, her
father had lodged about seventeen

Ribbons are again fashionable for neck
wear.
Hip draperies aud tunics are much
tucked and gagged.
Next to dark green and royal blue, the
favorite color for street wear is the
new shade of golden gown.
A lace pin, with the wearer's monogram
in tiny diamonds and emeralds, is among
the elegant novelties in jewelry.
Ridiculously high prices are now paid
for old gold or silver chatelaines, trinkets
and jewels of any kind showing genu
inc stamp of antiquity.
Black velvet dog collars, fastened un-
der the chin, with tiny gold or silver
clasps set with mock gems, are worn
with both day and evening costumes.
Feathers and flowers are used in pro-
fusion by French modistes, and painted
ribbon and painted lace add greatly to
the elegance of dress bonnets and hats.
Little girls wear sashes of very wide
ribbons in surah or soft satin, laid around
the figure in many folds and forming a
great bow of deep loops, and not very
deep ends on the back.
Plain close fitting sleeves for home or
promenade dress, buttoned up the back
of the arm to the elbow, are more favor
ed by fashionable ladies than sleeves cut
in any other style.
A dainty model hat is of white Pana-
ma braid, faced with shirred China Grape
in shell-pink, and trimmed with drapery
of the Grape confined by small pearl pins
and shaded pink plume.
The skirts that are worn under tunics,
panniers or polonaises must either be
perfectly plain or literally covered with
trimming; there is now no meZZo-ter-
mine" 1t is also a necessity that the
skirt, when plain, shall be rich and hand
some in texture.
A bonnet, less stylish than those de-
scribed, yet illustrating one of the phases
of the present fashion, is made of pale
pink silk, quite covered with network
of white beads, and edged around the
brim with a triple row of large pink
pearls.
The sash ribbons OF the present ex-
coed in richness any manufactures
of their kind in late years.
Some of them are fourteen inches
wide, and those of chine are as beautiful
as If hand-painted. Some of them are
in alternate brocaded and watered strip
ing, and some of them are in gorgeous
designs or garlands in natures colOrs.
A fashionable milliner has recently
been showing some attractive novelties.
A beautiful little bonnet has the crown
and strings made of white crepe-de
chine, the brim consisting of velvet vio-
lets, with one bunch of cream-colOred
hyacinths at the side. Another has
yellow velvet pansies grouped at one
side, and the whole of the rest of the
bonnet, strings included, is made of VIC.
let and velvet pansies.
