She shared her seat with the

while her car waited at the Union

Belva seemed glad to see the man

1t is unnecessary to remark here
that Belva didn't see the BAzoO's

owed by the action of state lesisla-
lures, boards of health, food commits

affords needed protection to the pub
lie, for the evidence as to the injurious
effects of alum and ammonia is very
heavy, but it will nevertheless be
fought bitterly by the manufacturers

to sell their goods as 'pure Cream OF

The bill is something needed. If a
maker uses q drug in his powder, the
name of which be does not want to

posed to Have Fled the Country
An AmdAvit to the Eject
That Slye Ran Away at I.
Sight OF the Train. ]

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2.-It is learned for the
first time that Jimmie Francs, the train
robber killed at Pleasanton, Kan, about .

the gang. The affidavit was taken At
Independence, Mo, a few days after Slye's
arrest, by Attorney Frank Purcell. The
name OF Jimmie Francis is appended to
the oath. The AFFIDAVIT avsrs that Slye
took NO active part in the robbery, that he
weakened and fed from his post as the
train moved in sight.
The plan Of the robbery originated in
Kansas City. Jimmie Francis was the
chief spirit. He was assisted by a man
named ''Stumpy." DinK Wilson, Marion
Hedspeth and Adeibert Slye. The latter
was taken in owing to MS knowledge OF
railroading. A quarrel broke up the gang
and Wilson and Slye came to st. Louis
Francis arrived soon afterward. He
came armed with six sticks Of dynamite
purchased in Kansas City from a whole
sale hardware man. He took up quarters
with family near Ninth and Brooklyn
avenue under the name Of Henderson.
Three days before the robbery the gang
came together in the Swan avenue cottage.
II was while seated around card table
that the robbery was plan ned. =
On the night of the 18th Of November
five men left the Swan avenu, cottage
about o'clock and walked leisurely out
to the scene of the robbery. 1t is at this
point in the story that Slye is said to have
weakened. This will be part OF the do.
tense. Francis went straight back to
Kansas City. Slye, Wilson and Hedspeth
took the Wabash out Of st. Louis. g

MRS. KINGSLEY WINS.
A Supreme Court Decision Of
Importance to Hotel.Keepers
in Missouri.

The case of the State of Missouri
We. Kingsley was decided by Judge
Thomas in division No. 2 of the gu.
preme Court, at Jefferson City yester.
day says the GIobe-DemocIat. The
defendant in this case was Mrs. Car.
RE L. Kingsley, known as "Lady
Harrington" on account of her escap.
ade with an alleged Lord Harrington.
In july of last year she was q guest
at the Southern Hotel, in this city.
She remained at that hotel for little
over two week and failing to pay her
board bill was finally elected, and
later was arrested, prosecuted in the
Court Of Criminal Correction and
sentenced to serve ten days in Jail,
under the provisions of what is known
a. the "hotel dead.beat'' law, which
make it a misdemeanor for any one
to obtain board under false pretensees.
The case was Immediately taken to
the Supreme Court. several consti-
tutional points being involved.
The decision Of Judge Thomas yes
terday is to the effect that the defend
ant was improperly convicted, and
her discharge is ordered. The case is
discussed at considerable length by
Judge Thomas, and the constitution
atty of the law is upheld. In speak
ing Of the false pretenses" phase Of
the case, he says: Evidence of the
crime Of obtaining money or property
by false pretenses is that the false
pretenses should be of past event or
Of fact having a present existence,
and not of something to happen in
the future. Not only must the false
pretenses, or representation, be of a |
past event, or Of an existing fact. but
the board must be obtained by it.
Mr.. Kingsley, who was somewhat |
of an artist, went to the manager of !
the hotel after her arrival here, and !
to him that she was expect. !
ing remittance and could not pay
her board weekly, according to the |
rules of the hotel, until it came. No !
came and at the end of two ,
weeks she was elected, and the pro-
against her for false pretenses
we're commenced. The decision is of !
great interest to hotel and boarding
house keepers throughout the state.

HAIR MATTRESSES.

How to Renovate Them out ON tho Farm.
Where one lives in the vicinity of a
city and the hair mattress can be taken
to regular upholstercr's for renova-
tion, it hardly pays to do this work at
home, but in the country, where one
has to send the mattress Il distance by
rail, it becomes Il difficult mat, er. Du
not attempt to do the work unless yoI
have separate room appropriate to it,
There empty the mattress Il little at a
time and pick over every particle of the
hair carefully. When it is all we'll
picked over, take about eight or ten
pounds at Il time and wash il thoroughly
in soapsuds and lullewarm water. This
makes it curly and crisp and washes
away all the remaining dirt that clings
to it. When it is washed rinse it hand
full by handful, wringing it as dry as
you can with the hands, When it is all
rinsed and wrung, spread it in huge
sheets of mosquito netting, basting
them together at the sides to prevent
the hair blowing about. Spread the
sheets across the line, or on II grassy
knoll, where the hair Will become per-
fectly dried in the sunshine and air. In
the winter hair may be thoroughly
dried by spreading it on the clean floor
of furnace-heated room, turning it
frequently until all dampness is dis
pelled. The hair is then ready to be
put back in new ticking or in the old
ticking if that has been washed for the
purpose.
Hair is never cleaned as thoroughly
as this in shops, where it is now quite
generally picked over by machine and
seldom washed There is freshness
of the fields about hair bed that has
been renovated at home, as there is
about clothes which have been dried IN
