Associated Press Dispatches.
DENVER, Jan. 4-Charles Schmidt,
who is confined in Jail here, has con-
fessed bis part in the Greenwood mur-
der, which took place near Napa, CAL,
last February. Schmidt says he came
to this country in 1879 and visited a
number of places in search of work,
eventually reaching California. He
claims that he met well-dressed Amer
lean who offered him work ON ranch
if Schmidt would accompany him, which
he .did. They visited number of
saloons and passed the night either at
Benicia or Port Costa. Next day the
stranger compelled him at the pistols
point to accompany him to the
Greenwood residence. Here they
found Captain Greenwood, and when
Mrs. Greenwood, who had been absent,
arrived, the stranger threatened to kill
her if she did not give up all the money
in the house. She gave him all she
had, and the stranger then bound her
and gave both of them something to
drink from tin cup. They then drove
to a saloon mile from town. Subse-
quently they returned to the house, and
the stranger, after firing number of
shots at the Greenwoods, again ran
sacked the house. When the men camped
for the night the stranger gave Schmidt
something to drink. When he regained
consciousness, the stranger was gone.
Schmidt says he tried to shoot the latter
while he was binding Mrs. Greenwood,
but his pistol refused to go off. When
they stopped at the house the second
time, Schmidt let the horse go and the
stranger hearing the wheels, fired at
him and compelled him to re-enter the
house. Schmidt states that he would
have made confession before, had he
known the whereabouts of his compan-
ion, who had threatened to kill him, if
he divulged the secret.

road being taxed a proportionate share
of the expenses Of maintaining the COM
mission on the basis of its mileage
within the state.
A MISSOURI LAW CONFIRMED.
The court affirmed the decision OF the
lower court in the snit brought by the
Pacific Express company against James
Seibert and John NJ. Wood, auditor and
attorney general, respectively, OF Mis-
souri,. BY this suit the express COM
pany sought to restrain and enjoin the
collection of tax of 50 on eacS 500 OF
receipts, levied by the act of the state
legislature.
The court, in an opinion by Justice
Lamar, says: The contention that the
tax is levied upon interstate commerce
is unsound. Said tax does not relate
to interstate business, but entirely to
state business, eand is expressly limited
TO the receipts for business done entirely
within the state, and that it was
not the intention of the legislature
to interfere or to tax interstate
commerce in any way whatever. The
other points raised, it also holds, are
not we'll taken, for the reason that the
tax applies equally to all companies
doing express business.

The vereins Thalers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4."-Director OF the
Mint Leech, speaking of the arrang-
men.s said to have been completed be-
tween Germany and Austro- Hungary
to demonetize the silver coins known as
"vereins thalers, said; "All the Aus
trian union thalers are now in Germany
and are considered national coins in that
empire. In fact all the vereins thalers
are now in Germany and the amount is
variously estimated at from 400 coo, 900
to 800 900, 600 marks, or about Sl00, ,000,-
600. The Austrian vereins thalers which
it is proposed to melt down, are en-
braced in this amount. They are vari-
ously estimated at from $4,000, 900 to
$23. .000,0 From the dispatch it
would seem as if Austro Hungary had
decided to buy these silver coins, and
melt them into bars for the reason that
silver florins are quoted below their
value on 'Change."

YOUNG LADY's GOWN. but ladies have.
now unanimously agreed to adopt the
graceful motion of dog who feels a
flea on his'back, and by backward and
sidewise movement the skirt is seized
just above the heels and held up by the
wearer's daintily gloved hand until she
has passed all the muddy places.
Handy ladies' can braid this them
selves, which would make a very great
difference in price, or figured material
can be bought and appliqued on. For a
whole costume of ladies' cloth made in
this style it would need seven yards.
The other illustration represents the
gown worn by pretty little Miss Dell
thompson, the clever young American
girl who took England by storm a year
ago, and who has come back here and
captured everybody's heart who has
seen her by her bright young beauty
her gracefulness and her undeniable
talent.
She came On the platform wearing a
dress that is the ideal for young lady.
1t was of tulle, with small chenille
balls all over it. The back breadths
were OF cream satin, princess style, and
chiffon drapery in 'front.' Such dress,
or rather such model could be copied
In null over a glace slip and be lovely,
and the most becoming color could be
worn and the close ribbon bows could
match or contrast.
Inns model is also well adapted for
commencement robe for young ladies,
ana would be quite as suitable for
dancing gown and for formal dinner
or reception dress, and it is the very
LATEST out, which settles it anyhow.

COckroaches, Ants,

Beetles, water bugs. The most effective and
permanent remedy is-for two or three nights
to sprinkle ROUGH ON RATS dry powder
unmixed, on, in, about and down the sink and
drain pipe; scatter it well but thinly all over
the sink. First thing in the morning wash it
all away down the drain pipe, repeat two or
three nights, when all the insects from garrett
to cellar will disappear. The secret Of this is
in the fact that wherever the bugs or insects
may be during the day, they must go to the
sinks for water during the night. They can't
stand RoUGH ON RATS in their water
factory remedy. ROUGH ON RATS being
poison, it should be used in this way only at
night and washed away early in the morning.
Another way is to mix tablespoonful Of
ROUGH ON RATS with half pound of
brown sugar. Sprinkle it on rear of cupboard
shelves or on plates, or on sheets of paper
placed high out Of reach Of children.

Bonnets and hats should have the first
place, so let me mention some saw yes

inches from crown to edge in front and
made so full that they have to be bent
in two or three deep scallops. The back
has no brim to speak of and the trim
ming is quite scanty, consisting Of a
little twist of lace and couple of chrys-
anthemuns.
Another is of openwork straw made
in a manner utterly indescribable, but
reaching away out in front and finished
by veil which hung from one side.
The veil was of black Brussels net, with
a pretty bordering of jet worked upon
the bottom. This veil could be thrown
all over the hat and left to fall in front,
or brought all together down around
and across the throat and thrown owe,
the left shoulder.
Bonnets are so little and so varied in
shape that there is really not much to
say of them, only that each woman can
find a style to suit her own fancy OF
costume, but the prices do not diminish
with the size. Themilliner will tell you
that it is the ''style" that makes them

that costs something like 81, 900 pound.
