are very full. The costume Is finished by a short figaro jacket having @ high col lar and trimmed with fox fur. At the waist is an Empire band of the plain velvet.
 Some Empire tunics are seen composed of transparent gauge, flowing over tight fitting dress of silk. Sometimes this tunic will be of different color from the un- der-dress. For instance, I saw one the other day of old gold gauge over a bright pink dress, which produced @ most love- iy effect, changing color with each move ment, the combination in fact making 6 color that I have never seen before. Sometimes this Empire tunic Is used-<er the front of the dress alone. It is then formed of @ piece of material falling straight from the neck to the end Of the skirt, and fastened into the under-arm seams.
 These tunics are always accompanied by very full sleeves, often in velvet according with the color of the dress. To add to their already great volume. these sleeves are often surmounted d by velvet wings, and in this case the former are of the same ms tsrial as the dress. The square cut Empire necks are sell dom trimmed, being usually finished by . straight band at the back and front, and when trimmed with lace, etc., 1t always stops at the sleeves. Round and pointed
 necks, on the contrary, are nearly always ornamented with e bertha of lace or nous seline de soie, which Is carried over the
 shoulders. FLoRkrrK.

LIZZIE BoRDEN's LOVER.
A Theory That She Had One Who Was
Unscrupulous-After Her Fortune.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch

New York, July There never was
a doubt in my mind said famous de-
tCctive reporter to-day, 'as to whether
Lizzie Borden committed the murders of
which she was accused. ] was detailed
on the case when the preliminary trial
was ON. My remark made at the time
the tide of public opinion was turning
steadily against her, was to the effect
that in order to make her guilty of com
hitting the murders the prose cution must
endow her with the powers of perform
ing a miracle.
'krOm the way the case has developed it
pow seems that it was an easy matter for
any one to have got into the house and
murdered Mr.. and Mrs Borden uuob-
served, provided they were there Just at
the right minute. The one unaCcOuntable
point lies in the direction of the motive
for committing the murders. An impress
sion will always remain that Lizzie BOr
den knew something about the affair if
she were not actually associated with the
CHASTITY butchery, and l have yet to see
theory advanced which will dovetail in
all around as the one ! suggest.
1T was to the effect that by some
means or other, possibly while she was
abroad, Lizzie Borden had become &C
Quainted with some INSCRIPTIONS person
who wished to marry her for the sake of
her money. That she had met this man
clGndcStlnelN from time to time and that
her father had refused to countenance the
match. JhSt before the murders crisis
was precipitated by the man insisting
upon her marrying him or else endure the
alternative of an exposure Intending to
| commit suicide to escape her troubles,
| Lizzie Borden had bought the prussic
acid, of which fact the man was aware.
Incensed at the thought of losing her
money, the man went to the house on the
| morning of the murders, or possibly had
been secretCd there since the previous
night, perhaps with no definite purpose
and with or without Lizzie Borden's
| knowledge. The sight of the axes might
have reused a demoniacal impulse, and
upon failing to meet with any encourage
ment for his hopes from either Mr. or
Mrs Borden, he killed them.
Lizzie Borden may have been in the
barn when he did it. Speeches. with
horror she may have watched him COM
init the inhuman butcheries. She may
have let him out of the front door after
it was over and then in dazed way have
gone TO call the servant girl. But it
seems almost impossible that she should
not know who the murderer was, and
that she should not have denounced him
if there had not been love between them
Here seems to be a theory with a motive
which explains many strange points
about the case otherwise utterly mex
plicableN

The Cost of Running Iwashington.

from Jne washington star, Jnly l.
During the fiscal year which begins to-
day, the amount of money that will be
available to meet the current municipal
expenses is -, 4l30O0. In bulk this seems
to be a large sum of money But when it
is considered that it keeps the municipal
government of a population of some ESQ
600 going for one year, IL does not seem to
be so large after all Especially is this
true when the various items of expense
are considered. The single item of inter
est on the debt of the district and the
payments into the sinking fund amount
to Sl,2l3,000 Then there is expended
about 81 600 600 on the streets The pub
lie schools cost nearly 81 900, 600, the 20
lice force about $500. 600, and these items
alone when counted amount to nearly
100000. Then there are the fire de-
partment and other expenses of a great
city, which easily absorb the 81 800. 900
remaining. All these large sums of mon
ey are expended by payments from the
United States treasury with all the safe
guards which are thrown about treasury
disbursements II is safe to say that in
no city in this country is such large per-
centage Of the money collected from tax
payers expended for their benefit and that
of citizens generally as is the case in this
city.

A Sad Accident.

Last Saturday evening the news was
brought to our city that DAVID Stevens
had shot himself, short distance west of
the railroad tank, and that he was sup
posed to be dying. A number of our cit
liens went out, but he was dead before
they arrived upon the scene.
It appears that MIR. Stevens, who was
accompanied by his wife and children,
had started in wagon from Wa-Keeney
to go to his home about four miles west
OF town, and when about mile and q
half on their way, Mr.. Stevens saw rab-
bit short distance from the road. He
stopped his team and went to the rear of
the wagon to get his gun. The muzzle
was toward him, and as he was pulling it
out, the gun was discharged, the bullet
entering his right breast. He lived about
half an hour. j. l.. Best was short
distance behind him at the time the acci-
dent occurred and was an eye witness to
the whole affair. His wife asked him If he
was going to die and he said no. A few
minutes afterwards, having been placed
upon some blankets, he said that he
could not live and spoke no more.
A few weeks since, the deceased filed
upon homestead few miles north OF
Wa-Keeney, and last week he had been
building him house and getting ready
to move and, at the time of his death, was
returning from his claim to his temporary
home on the Gilman place.
Deceased was step-son OF Arthur De-
wore, and he leaves a wife and three
small children to mourn his untimely
death. All in all it was very sad affair,
and the bereaved family has the deep
sympathy of the entire community.
The funeral was deferred until last
Wednesday for the reason that some OF
the deceased relatives from the east had
been telegraphed to and were expected
to be present but, not getting the word
in time, they could not get here.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF rRRGo COUNTY.
SATURDAY, FEB. Is, 1893.

With this issue we begin our fifteenth
year and that with but one change In the
management during that time. This
shows that the WORLD has filled legiti-
mate field in journalism. But few, COM
paratiVely, who were here at its birth are
now citizens of our county. During its
existence it has had its ups and downs,
seasons OF adversely and prosperity, but
never for a moment has the thought OF
abandonment been entertained. 1t Is a
fixture as we'll as landmark. We have
no special promises to make for the fu-
ture except that we will at least endeaVor
to keep up with the progress Of our coun-
ty. We wish upon the Threshold of our
new year to sincerely thank those who
have SO generously contributed to the
support of the WORLD in the past. We
believe in reciprocity and you may al
ways depend upon us to assist in every
legitimate enterprise for the upbuilding
of our city and county.

A Temperance Fountain at the
Worlds FAIR.

The Commission for "Willard Fount-
ain" which is to be gift to the city of
Chicago from children all over the world,
connected with the Loyal Temperance
Legion Department of the worlds W. G.
T. q. of which Miss Anna Gordon, of
Evanston, ILL.,, is superintendent, has
been placed in the hands of Mr.. Geo. E,
Wade of London, rising young sculptor
who has recently executed a life-size
statue of Sir John Mcdonald by order of
the Canadian government, also the bust
of the late Duke of Clarence for the
Prince of Wales, and one of the famous
pianist, Paderowski which that cele-
brated musician pronounced to be his
best. Mr.. Wade is now at work on the
life-size model of the fountain which is to
be cast in bronze, and which will rep
resent little girl-a child of the people
who stands offering her cup of cold water
to the thirsty passers-by while the over.
flow from the cup helps to fill a trough
at her feet for horses and dogs. Mr..
Wade has admirably caught the idea of
expressing in this figure the thought that
children are being train ID to temperance
service for the very attitude of the child
is alert and full of interest in what she
is doing; while the influence of the
beauty and innocence of childhood will
also greatly serve our cause, as the foun-
tain will be reproduced times without
number by means of photography and
engraving, and thus it's lesson will be-
come familiar in all parts of the world,
where the white ribbon is worn and loved
Miss Gordon desires US to urge that
children connected with the l.. F. LIS,
and all temperance societies shall at once
set about earning their dimes so that
they may be contributors to this historic
fountain, which will be suitably inscrib-
ed as their gift to the city entertaining
the Worlds fair. It will be remembered
that the names of all contributors will be
recorded in a book to be kept in the
Woman's Temperance temple in Chicago
It is hoped that the managers of the Co.
lumbar Exposition will allow the foun-
tain to be placed in the center of the
children's exhibit, and that it may there
begin it's blessed ministry, by furnishing
water to the thirsty multitudes who will
visit the Worlds fair.
All money raised should be sent to
Miss Anna Gordon, Evanston, ILL.,, and ii
is earnestly desired that little people
everywhere should be impressed with the
thought that the mission of love and
mercy which they might perform by Civ
ing cup of cold water to men who might
otherwise be drawn into the saloon, can
be carried out by this patient little figure
which will never grow "weary in we'll do.

and mounted work may be sent to me,
State House, Topeka, as late as March /.
Exhibit Committee - A. r. Taylor,
chairman; J. E. Klock, d. E. Sanders
and J. E. PEARS.
The cities and counties that have not
paid their assessments should do 80 be-
fore March /. We are now receiving
large quantities OF exhibit work. This
material will go to Chicago, and it de-
ponds largely upon the cities and coun-
ties of Kansas whether the exhibit shall
be bound, mounted, transported, pro-
vided with tables and cases, and pre-
sented to the visitors, all in form cred
liable to the state and to its magnificent
school system.-From "The Western
School Journal" for February.
Do not wait for the legislature to act.
Your schools are credited up to Februa-
ry A, 1898, with $4.75, or 20 per cent. of
your assessment. As stated iD q recent
circular, the cities of the first class have
contributed nipe-tenths of their proper
ton of the Exhibit Fund; one half of
the cities of the second class have con-
tributed two-thirds of the proportion due
from cities of that class; and five-sixth of
the counties have sent in one-fourth OF
the money assigned to the counties.
This, fellow teachers, is not Just.
Whatever outlay affects the fair name,
the educational. and indirectly the indus

be borne by the whole state. Why not

EIGHTH ANNUAL MASQUER-
AIDE BALL.
By the w. R. c., at Collyer, Feb.
18th, 1898.


One of the occasions to which the good
people of Collyer always look forward
with bright anticipations is the Annual
Masquerade Ball given by the ladies oil
the W. r. G.
The one given laft Tuesday highland
Wednesday morning-was the eighth
annual ball given under the auspices oil
the relief corps consisting of band Of
loyal and devoted women, whose object
has been to provide fund for the benefit
and relief of those soldiers and families
needing the same.
The circumstances surrounding the
occasion were somewhat adverse owing to
the cold weather and other entertain.
ments given in the same neighborhood
Despite these conditions the G. A. r. hall
was comfortably filled by one of the most
social, Jolly, fun-loving crowds with
which we have ever had the pleasure to
commingle. Nearly fifty tickets were
sold and all went merry as marriage
bell until daylight.
The music was better than ordinary on
such occasions and was furnished by
Frank Spena and A. B. Smith and con-
sisted of violin and organ.
The supper was elegant and the ladies
having this part of the entertainment in
charge are entitled to much credit. Here
is where the hard work always comes in
both before and after all others have
performed their parts. The word "ele-
CANT" is a very expressive one in our
vocabulary and only used on special
occasions. We repeat-the supper was
elegant.
A delegation of % went up from Wa
Keeney and every one of them was more
than satisfied with this entertainment.
Some very fine masks were noticed but
as no record of maskers was kept and as
we were unacquainted with many we can
only give partial list. Among those we
noticed, we will mention Miss Kate Nc
Donald who personated Spanish lady;
Mrs. Temp Smith, peasant girl; Mrs
Escher, German lady; Will BLACKWELL,
Indian; Lou Escher, negro; John Burns,
country girl; Jessie Burns, gypsey for
tune-teller; Miss Clara Schwanbeck,
country woman; Maggie BEEN, jockey;
Matte Spicer, cook; Ed Esoher, indiana
Jessie Bartlett, America; Mary Yanda,
Goddess of Liberty; Christine Enrich,
princess; Charles Burns, miller; Joseph
Escher, officer in the armyj Clyde No
knight. sailor; Miss Rose Kristof, prin-
cess. There were many othsrs that We
do not recall.
Those from Wa-Keeney left about half
past five in the morning to return on the
train. Those remaining were still dane
inc and we learn that it was kept up
until broad daylight,

Mrs. Diggs made speech in Topeka
one night last week and denounced the
election of John Martin by the populists
in the strongest terms. She said she was
in sackcloth and ashes. That any fur
ther fusion with the democracy would
ruin the party and cause the straightout
populists to withdraw from the party.
She scored the members who voted for
Martin in the severest language and was
applauded by the audience.
