Dresses for Brides.

For brides dresses ivory white satin, faille
franchise and peau de sole are the favorite
materials. The long rounding train of five
breadths is'gathered in a small spaceatth top,
lined throughout with c~rinoline over which is
a lining of silk and an inside ruche or frill of
the dress fabric instead of a lace balayeuse.
The front may be draped with lace or China
crepe, or with the material over a deep lace
1ouncc. A pointed basque is draped with
lace, or the Empire waist effect may be adopt
ed shirred on the shoulders and crossed in
fichu form, the Y square filled in with lace.
If the bride is young, a round Empire waist
with a full sash is very pretty. Lace orfabrie
sleeves may be worn, but in either case they
are full at the top and close at the wrists. a
lovely robe for an early winter wedding is OF
white Bengaline trimmed with old point, and
white fox fur. This is novel, yet pretty for
the climate and season. Y shaped necks cut
rather low are a prevailing style, and with
folding frill5 Of lace set around them are
really lovely. Tulle walls cover the entire
dress, and are confined on the head with jew
elled pins or a half wreath OF orange blossoms.
Valeneiennes lace is very handsome ii one
cannot afford real point, besides it is more
youthful than point lace. The newest flowers
to be mixed with orange blossoms arc tea
rnces

Mr.. Stewards reply to the letter of interro-

"a dam so feet wide and 10 feet high under

ner: The crib should be made of stout tim

down to hard-pan, solid gravel or rock bot

is framed to it by similar timbers so as to
make n continuous crib work across the
rayine for the whole distance. The ends Of
the cribs, at each bank, should be protected
by sheet-piling to prevent the earth from be-

around the dam; and this protection should
be carried high enough above the level OF the
dam to insure safety in the highest freshets

some Rich Trimmings.

The beautiful colors Of the frostkissed
leaves are all reproduced in the rich trim
mings presented for Thanksgiving toilets;
however, the most popular styles or those in
Moorish or the antique tapestry shades, and
are really softer and more aesthetic than the
wonderfully gorgeous dyes of generous Dame
Nature.
Therecently imported dress finishings are
particularly elegant, and although plain and
fancy cord passementeries are used, many
most elegant gowns are garnished with bands
and ornamen of jet and beaded galoons and
passementeries.
These beautiful art creations are hand
made, and the bands are in all desirable
widths, from very narrow to extremely wide,
the ornaments being in sizes to use en- suite.
Hundreds of Oriental designs with new
~coneeits are represented in these trimmings.
Egyptian and Persian figures, flowers, the
magnolia, the lily, the tulip, with now and
again the abrupt japanese design, which is
not, however, in the severe and positive
colors of japan, but like the other hues in
eastern characters, shows the Moorish cast,
with a singular luster, attained by cutting
the beads, diamond fashion, over a hollow
inside. into which the ~coloring matter is
blown and is given out in CLEANS with incan-
descent effect.
These luminous trimmings come in sets,
Intended for low cut or heart-shaped bodiees.
with epaulettes, back, collar and cuff pieces,
with perhaps vest, plastron and revers; SINH
lar sets are shown in steel, cut jet and the
crochet work, while other elegant specimens
are in plain black silk, or in silk with dull
Jet, TO be used exclusively for the decoration
of mourning costumes and dresses.

almost conclusively to suicide. The door was

hole. The transom was closed, % we'll the two
windows, which opened into . paved area or
court The murderer, II there was one, had
three possible modes of exit: the door, the
transom, the windows. That he did not use the
door is shown by the fact that it was locked on
the inside. That he could not have gone through
the transom, it is claimed, by the fact that
when the room was entered it was necessary to
pull OF the the transom frame in order to ad-
init small boy. That he probably did not es-

that they look from a second story and that

The South Carolina legislature has repealed
BY unanimous vote the civil rights law, which
was passed by the republicans when in power
in South Carolina and has remained ON the
statute books ever since. Its repeal was recon-
mended by Governor Robinson in mis- annual
message, and he at the same time recommended
that the railroads be required to furnish equal,
but separate, accommodations for the two

same accommodation be provided for both

A Fierce Attack on Ex-Gov. Ordway

A Fierce Attack On Ex-Gov. Ordway.
In the North Dakota senate Saturday Senator
Lamoure Of Pembina county made q savage
attack on ex-Gov. Ordway, charging him with
bribe-giving, bribe-taking aud other miscon-
duct, creating sensation In the chamber and
lobby. He said he could prove that in the Or
ganization of Ramsey county Gov. Ordway sent
blank commissions to his agents aud effected q
deal with Judge Palmer to locate the county seat
Of Ramsey county. He then alluded to the
governors son, George Ordway, as a drunkard,
whose appointment as territorial auditor, he
claimed, was forced by the governor against the
wishes Of the council He said further that
Ordway's administration of the Office Of auditor
left no record of his dealings with the insurance
companies, and closed with the remark: "Y0u
can draw your inference as to the cause OF
silence" A motion to expunge the entire pro-
ceedings from the records Of the senate was
lost and 1t was referred to committee OF i've.
Ex-Gov. Ordway will return to bismarck and
demand the privilege Of the floor to reply to
Lamoure's assault. In all probability an in
vestlgation of the United States senatorial con-
test will now be demanded, especially as re-
CARDS the claim of NJ. N. johnson that he re-

MURDER rHEoH

In Philadelphia a theory that Gowen was
murdered is being discussed. A detective 10
quoted in the Press of that city a. stating that
the fact that there was no singeing of the hair
or discolorstion Of the skin around the wound
10 conclusive proof that the pistol could not
have been held by the dead man. He referred
to . series Of experiments made in 1875
in connection with a celebrated muir
der case, which showed that q pistol
fred three feet from . body caused . discolor-
alton around the wound The body OF . man
who had just died at . hospital was used for
the purpose. Five shots were fred, varying
from three feet to four inches, all Of them
causing discoloration, tattOoing or scorching,
according to the distance. The nearer the
pistol the more marked was the effect. The
detective also alleged that . man shooting
himself could not possibly hold the pistol more
than foot from his head and have any aim
whatever, and that three feet would be an
utter absurdity.
EVIDENCE AGAINST TIE THEORY
II ID true that the hair and skin Of the dead
man were undisturbed, without aNiRn Of sinee-
ing or tattooing from powder, but this fact il
accounted for BY Coroner Patterson, who SAYS
that the pistol was undoubtedly held against
the head.

TWO SUDDEN DEATHS.
Probable Suicide Near Spangle OF
the Mother of Large
Family.
John Wiese Falls Dead of Heart
Disease, Soon After Visi.
to Spokane.

The REVIEWS Spangle reporter,
who was i'm this city yesterday,
brought the following news of two
tragic events:
Mrs. Fl. w. Hinton, wife Of a
well-to-do farmer, living one mile
west of Spangle, died very sud-
denly early Sunday morning, under
somewhat tragic circumstances,
which point to suicide.
A few days ago she became vio-
lently insane, but was quieted at
the time. Since then she has
uttered threats against her own life
and her family were considering the
advisability Of placing her i'm the
asylum.
About ) o'clock Sunday morning
she complained of pains In her
head, and asked MIR. Hinton to
arise and heat water 20 that she
might bath her head. He did so,
and as this had become a common
occurrence of late, entertained no
fears of his wife attempting suicide,
and retired to his bed.
soon hlter some Ol Ine cniluren
discovered their mother In the
smokehouse. She was lying upon
the inclined floor, with her head
downward. with IA towel twisted
tightly around her neck. She was
quite dead when discovered. The
facts were explained to the authori-
ties, who did not consider an inquest
necessary.
Mrs. Hinton leaves large family
OF children, some of whom are
grown, to mourn her loss.
SUDDEN DEATH OF JOHN wIEsE.
John Wicse died suddenly Mt his
home near Spangle last Friday. He
was in Spokane Falls Thursday, for
the purpose OF consulting a physi-
clan, and returned home the same
day. He ate dinner with his family
about noon, and died, almost with
out warning, about 3 o'clock that
afternoon. Deceased was well and
favorubly known all over that sec
ton, and had amassed a compe--
tency.
