some Astonishing Things Prom
ised Boston.

BOsToN. Aug. 1.-Two hundred wo.
men have banded together here for the
purpose of appearing on the streets the
first rainy Saturday in October in short
skirt made up of waterproof cloth in
dark colors, reaching an inch or two
only below the knees. with heavy boots
and long CATERS made Of macintosh
cloth. If CATERS are not used, then
mousquetaire or ordinary riding boots
will be worn.
The skirt will be killed, and hang
heavy so as not to be disarranged by the
wind. A REFER jacket or long cloak will
cover the upper part of the body, and
under this fancy silk shirt or ordinary
dress waist will be worn. An ordinary
hat will complete what will be a very
novel costume.

Close Call For a Council and
Mayor of a western Town who
Were Handling City Money Too
Freely. EsE ~ y
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Aug. 11-Ths
mayor and council of the city Of Kansa:
City, Kan, across the Missouri river
from here) barely escaped vengeance last
night at the hands OF crowd Of 800 tar
payers.
The excitement arose over a PROPOSE
tion of the city council to purchase the
plant of the Consolidated electric light
and power company for $4,000.
There was much public indignat;sn over
the proposition, it being believed by
many that improper inducement had
been offered to the members of the coun-
Gil to pass the ordinance authorizing the
purchase.
The Indignation eliminated last night
vixen a mass meeting oil tax payers was
held to protest against the proposed
purchases. The meeting was in charge
Of Hon. John b. Scroggs. the head of the
Kansas City, Kas., bar. Several intern
perate speeches were made and finally
Scroggs addressed the crowd from the
court house steps. He denounced in bit
ter language the proposed action of the
council.
Finally committee of fifteen was ap
pointed to call at the council chamber
and present the protest before the ordi
nance could be passed. The crowd, by
its own motion, joined the committee
and marched to the city hall.
As the march proceeded the excitement
grew until the mutterings of the crowd
become more loud and bitter and finally
eliminated in shouts OF, Lynch them u
and Hang them!"
In the meantime the council had been
informed Of the progress of the mob and
hastily an adjournment was taken. The
last alderman had barely retreated when
the advance guard of the mass meeting
rushed into the chamber to be disappoin.
ted at finding it empty. The crowd re-
solved itself into mass meeting again
and more speeches were made, the mayor
and council beng denounced as COW.
ards and thieves.
Finally the mob dispersed without
doing any damage.

HELENA, Mont, Aug. 1.-THE Su-

the right OF newspaper to publish the

words of an old Montanian to the effect
that the Davis will contestants could not
get an impartial trial before any judge or
jury in Butte where the vast estate lies,

"The power is given to the court to en-

A Crazy Mail Carrier.

A short time since the mail carrier from
Yucca TO Signal started on his usual trip
from Yucca, and when out from that
place about seven miles, he tied his ami
NAL to cactus bush, broke the spokes in
wheels Of his cart, left the mail on the
ground and returned to Yucca; and,
keeping hid, took A night train and LETT.
II is supposed that the fellow went crazy
for lack Of proper food and the loneliness
OF bis trips to and from the railroad TO
Signal. He had lived on crackers and
canned tomatoes for several weeks. The
mail was found by Henry Bowman few
days after its abandonment by the car
rier, who took it to Yucca. Mr.. Bowman
Is now carrying the mail temporarily
until new contract can be made by the
post office authority.
The contract was given in July last TO
Mississippi parties, who took it so low
that IL Is impossible for them 10 fill it.
The locoed carrier is now believed TO
be somewhere in the neighborhood Of
Prescott, and it is said has fully recovered
from his craze.
