WAS A LARGE JOB,
Some Testimony In the Wisconsin Roster
Cases.

SOme Testimony In the Wisconsin Roster
Cases.
MADISON, Wis, March Is. - The
gigantic nature of the roster job given
by the governor to the defunct Times
was illustrated when one of the plaintiffs,
George Dow, testified that the plaintiffs
agreed to give the governors private
secretary $35, 900 bonus for the roster
contract for $4,000 volumes, and that
then the plaintiffs would make a
good thing On it. The court shut
out all testimony relative to the cost of
an edition of the rosters printed several
years ago. Clark always claimed, when
inveigling the plaintiffs into this invest
ment. that the state paid an excessive
price for that edition, and that under
the Peck contract the state was
to save a great amount of money
and the plaintiffs so believed. But
the defense objected to any evidence on
that point, and the judge ruled in their
favor. The object of the defense is to
show that the plaintiffs took a hand in
the job with eyes open, and if any con-
spiracy existed they, too, were in it.
COrroborated by Rob Dow.
Plaintiff Rob Dow testified in the ros-
ter case, corroborating the evidence
given by McFail and George Dow in all
important matters in the negotiations
for the secret contract, securing the
legal opinions of Defendants Bashford
and OConnor, etc. He testified that |
when he called on Governor Peck and
told him that Clark had repaid IS, 900 of
10000 paid on contract the governor
expressed qualification, followed the
to the door and said he was very
anxious to have the matter settled and
get the papers in the deal back.

LOOPHOLE IN THE LAW,
Possible That the Floyds May Escape OH
Technically.

Possible That the Floyds May Escape OH
"A Technically.
MINNEAPOLIs, March 16.-The Trib-
une says: 1t is possible that, after all,
the Floyds may escape the clutches OF
the law. The December term of court
was adjourned on Monday by Judge
Hicks without consultation with the
other judges, and was thus closed be-
fore its business had been disposed of.
1t Is believed that the Floyds cannot be
now legally sentenced before the next
term OF court, which does not
until next month. The
law provides that after be-
ing convicted the prisoner may
remain in the custody of the sheriff for
a reasonable length of time" before
sentence is passed upon him. The ques-
ton now is, can they be held until the
next term commences before sentence is
passed!
1t is customary for the senior Judge,
prior to adjourning the court, to call in
his associates and inquire whether their
business has been finished. Judge Hicks
did not do this, but without consulta-
ton on Monday declared the court ad-
journed, sine die.
His action caused much comment
among attorneys, and may cause consid-
cradle annoyance to the county attorney
and Judge Jamison.

liant accessories appear to best advantage
when they are seen over a dark gown. and
If a small hat or bonnet to match is worn
the effect is doubly satisfactory.
A pretty and very simple plastron ar
rangement is made with the metal passe-
menterie pieces that come in pairs shaped
like a corselet and fitted to the front of the
figure. Satin ribbon 8 inches wide is tied
IN a huge bow reaching from shoulder to
shoulder, the ends being brought down over
the bust and gathered in beneath the ton
OF the corselet pieces. The corselet is at
tached to the bodice by means of jeweled
stickpins.
All colors are used for these accessories
black and gold being particularly effective.
A graceful garniture is made by arranging
the embroidered material in the form of q
yoke and bordering it all around with a
hounce of spangled guipure, which con-
ceals the upper part Of the sleeve and falls
over the bust almost to the waist. The
neck is finished with a high collar fastened
by a jeweled buckle.
A charming sort Of basauine in which
metal effects and lace were shown was worn
at a recent fashionable wedding in PARIS
1t was made Of bronze faille and was em.
broidered with bronze and gold beads
Wide Russian guipure was arranged to fall
like a cape over the arm, while the MINER
edge formed a ruching across the top OF the
shoulder. A breadth of the lace was also
gathered In at the neck in front, falling in
plain folds some distance below the waist.
There was a high fiaring collar. With this
garment was worn a tiny bonnet of bronze
beads trimmed with pink roses.

LOOSE LOSES.
The Mare Kinda Rose Awarded to the
Stanford Estate.

SAN FRANCISCO, March LIN the supe-
rior court today decision was rendered in
favor of the Stanford estate in the suit
brought by w. A. r. Loose to recover the
trottiDg mare Hinda Rose from Senator
Stanford. The decision is based purely
upon the ground that Loose's claim is
barred by the statute of limitations. The
suit was based upon the fact that Senator
Stanford bought the brood mare Beautiful
Bells from Loose in April, $780, By her
side was the colt Hinda Rose, which had
been foaled Feb. %, 1880. The purchase
price was $500. and Loose maintained
that it did not include the colt. He de-
manded the mare in 1890. and when the
demand WAS denied he commenced suit,
asking for possession of the mare or her
value tS5OOO0), and SO, 600 damages for
unlawful detention.
Senator Stauford's testimony showed
that the negotiations for the mare were
commenced by him long before the colt
was foaied, but were dropped, and fiually
TAKEN up and consummated in April He
always believed that it included the colt
linda Rose. He kept her and trained
her, and raced her for years and his claim
had never been questioned.
The court held that though the colt may
not have been included in the sale there
was no controversy uutil the time he COM
lnenced TO use aud train her. Ii Stanford
did not convert her then 10 his own use.
he did little later, when he raced her ms
his own. Tie statute OF limitations cam
menced to run from the time of this con-
versatlon, and therefore, Loose's claim
had been Barred long before lie commenced
his action.
