Esferse's Repovt on Dexter Horizons
| Suit Against Madison Mfii.
Robert G. strudwick has filed in the
rnited States circuit court his report as
referee in the big lawsuit Of Dexter Hor-
ton 4 Co. against w. r. Sayward, the
wealthy Victoria capitalist and millowner.
The lawsuit grew out of q series Of busi-
ness transactions covering eleven years
beswecn Harrington q Smith. wholesale
erocers OF this city. and the Port Madison
Mil Company. in which HARRINGTON Il
Smith claimed that the sum OF $227 600
en due them on stated accounts by the
Mlli company. Their claim was assigned
~ Dexter Horton x Co., who brought ac-
non for the recovery OF the claim, attach
Ing large amount of property belonging
% Sayward. The case has been fought for
long time upon minor issues and pro-
eeedings and IL was not until May "a last
that the hearing OF the case was had on its
merits before Referee Strudwick. As
against the claim that the account was a
stated one the defense claimed that 10 was
DOL, that IL was incorrect, and finally that
IN any event Sayward was not personally
iesponsible because he had not personally
sushorizsd the contracting of the debt.
An enormous amount Of testimony was
taken at the hearing. covering /. 800 type
written pages, as we'll ~ five volumes Of
exhibits introduced. The report embraces
?is findings of fac. and covers eighty-five
pages. 1t Is, in brief, that the account is
sststed one: that Sayward is personally
liable for 1t, and allows him credit for
overcharges and omitted credits amount
Ing 10 $9i. 600. leaving a balance found due
70 the plaintiff Of $4,000 The referes
alsorecommends that Judgment be entered
IN accordance with the findings.
Both parties have filed exceptions to the
report which will DO heard before Judge
Bsllinger, United States district judge Of
Portland. who will probably come up here
roon for that purpose. The hearing will
b had before Judge Bellinger because
ladge Hanford feels himself disqualified
By having at one time been connected
sith the case as counsel. The case will
probably be taken to the circuit court of
appeals, the highest tribunal to which IL
can be taken

4 Parting or No Partings

That is the question of the hour. and wise women decide in favor of what suits them best. Those with low foreheads and regular features favor the parting, with soft fringe formed of slight curls. the rest of the hair waved and parted in the rear, meeting a coil placed low down on the head. Lightness is the great desid- eratum of all such additions.
 The Duchess of York has made long, straight curls pinned down the center of the back of the head quite the mode. To meet this want clever hairdressers have arranged a series of curls on no founda- tion at all, simply held together by pin and the fringe in front coming we'll down on the forehead between the eyes. The fringes have found favor with many well dressed women and are waved upward at the sides. Not only does the fashion able hairdresser of the day make addi- tions for slipping on, but he also turns to account the hair of the wearer. and one of these methods is a circular piece of net, with hole in the center, through which the hair growing on the head is drawn. It can then be divided and twisted as you like.

MIDDLETOWN QUIET.
After the Funeral of Paul Halliday the Ex-
 citement SubsIdes

MIDDLETowN, \. Y, Sept. 9.-Paul Hal liday was buried beside his first wife in the little cemetery in Walker valley with the ritual of the c. A. R., and the excitement over the triple murder is subsiding some what.
 Every inch of ground under the Halliday house and barn has been dug over and all parts of the premises carefully scrutinized, but no fresh discoveries were made. The leaving of Constables Scott and Nickerson with Mrs. Halliday for the Monticello jail has helped greatly to restore quiet.
 It was rumored here that a skeleton of e boy had been found on the Halliday prem iseS, but as nothing definite can be learned the report is not generally credited
 After the funeral of Paul Halliday two Of his sons, James and Robert, came to Middletown to consult a lawyer regarding the disposition of their fathers property. Halliday had deeded the farm first to James and then had taken the title back, and within the last year, having got into finan- cial straits, he had deeded it 10 Robert and took life lease.
 James, upon being interviewed, said Mrs. Halliday had recently tried every means in her power to entice his wife's sister into the Halliday shanty. James admitted that he had been on bad terms with his father and said that he had never spoken to his stepmOther. He said that he was satisfied that his crippled brother John had been killed by his stepmOther.

Two Ways For Cleaning Lace

There are two well tried recipes for cleaning lace. One is to wind 1t around glass bottle and soak it all night in warm castillo soapsuds and milk. rinse in warm water, soak in soap and warm water, rinse again without rubbing, bleach in the sun and dry. The second method recommends that the lace be spread out upon white paper, covered with calcined magnesia. another sheet of paper placed upon it and laid away for three days between the pages of a large book; then shake off the powder. and the lace will be clean and white

Their regrets were quickly dissipated, however. after the curtain fell at the close of the second act, for it was then recognized by every one present that, no matter how good a hand at getting people to swallow his theories Os- car may have been, he was ingloriously weak in his effort to induce them to accept him seriously as a playwright.

In addition to this very agreeable and pecuniarily satisfying condi- tion, Mir.

 A hop dance is social function that possesses its own forms of etiquette, al though these vary with the locality.

The floor is swept clean. and the flaming mill is set outside along with other agricultural implements that are usually stored there. The light is fur niShed by kerosene lamps-sometimes Sy candles.
