A novelty this summer is the butter
fly designed to fasten milady's veil
These butterflies are made with a patent
catch and are charming to decorate the
bodice as well as TO fasten the veil.
Many of them are enameled i'll all the
natural colors of the butterfly. Darning
needles for this purpose rival the butter
flies in popularity. One darning needle
more beautiful than the others is Of

OMAHA WANTS REFORM.
NEW MOVEMENT STARTED.
The Long Continued Reign of spoilsmsn
An the Nebraska Metropolis VIII Re-
suit In . Popular UpheavAl.

Omaha, Neb., June 29.-A proclama-
tion signed by 1000 citizens was pub
lished here to-day calling upon taxpay-
ers generally to join in the organiza-
tion Of vigorous non-sectarian and
non-partisan citizens movement for
municipal reform. This agitation Is an
outgrowth of the defalcation In the city
treasurer's office, which revealed q sor-
ry state of affairs. Many city officials
were shown to have drawn their salaries
far in advance, and 1t was shown, too,
that city money was being used by con-
tractors, spectators and others with
political influence. The flight of the de-
faulting city treasurer, Bolln, 1t will be
remembered, followed demand by the
school directors for an investigation of
the condition of their funds. After
Bolln's capture he resigned, but not un-
til tonight did the council accept his
resignation or name his successor. Inc
names of respectable citizens repeated
ly sent to the council by the mayor as
successor to Bolln were as repeatedly
turned down and Bolln was left In Of
flee. The citizens proclamation seems
to have had its effect, however, for to-
night the council confirmed ]. H. Du-
mont as city treasurer.
The PROCLAMATION issued to-day does
not mention the A. p. A., which Is
controlling factor in city politics, but
there is a plain inference that the pro-
posed organization will have for Its OBJ
ject the wrestling of the city government
from the men who are now in control.

YALE WINS AGAIN.
Her Boat Crew Defeats That OF Harvard

Her Boat Crew Defeats That OF Harvard
by Ten Lengths.
New London, Conn.,, June 29.-The
oarsmen of Yale yesterday defeated
the men from Harvard for the thir-
teenth time since the annual contests
were inaugurated between the colleges
at Springfield, on June 30, 1876. The
race was rowed under favorable condi-
tions and was fair test of merit, in
which Harvard was beaten by thirty
five seconds, or nearly ten lengths. The
distance was four miles on the Thames
river, down stream, from a point below
Gales ferry and extending to the big
railroad bridge at New London. The
official time was: Yale, 21:3O; Harvard,
22:O5.
The phrase "Yale has won," has be-
come such a monotony in college athlet-
les that it is hardly possible to-day's re-
suit will startle any one. Amid acres
Of masts and spars, forests of futter-
ing flags and labyrinths of scurrying
craft of all kinds, Yale's brawny young
giants pulled their shell over the finish
ing line with an easy going stroke that
bespoke confidence that Harvard could
not, under any circumstances. beat
them out.

The American Trust Company VIII Fore
close on 1t.
Portland, Ore, July 1.-The Ameri-
can Loan and Trust company Will not
accept the terms imposed by the deci-
sion of Judge Merritt in the Oregon
Short Line & Utah Northern railroad
receivership case, but will begin fore
closure proceedings. Ex-senator Dolph,
counsel for the Junior mortgage bond
holders Of the Oregon Short Line &
Utah Northern, was seen this evening,
and when asked IL it were true that the
efforts for a separate receivership for
the Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern
has been abandoned, he said:'
1.-THE effect Of Judge Merritts deci-
sion was such as to stop all further
proceedings by the American Loan and
Trust company along the line they have
been pursuing. The Utah court has
simply imposed conditions with which
the second mortgage holders cannot
afford to comply and they have de-
cided upon the better policy Of fore
closing. The American Loan and
Trust company would not raise the in
terest due on the prior mortgage and
take the road II 1t was to be controlled
in any degree by the Union Pacific.
"The American Loan and Trust
company will proceed to foreclose its
mortgage Immediately. The Oregon
case in the United States Circuit court
for Oregon has sent for the bill and
answer and we have given notice of an
application to the court next Wednes-
day to fix a day for the hearing"
The American Loan and Trust COM
pany will sell the road and the fore
closure proceedings will undoubtedly
be brought by the bondhOlders under
the junior mortgage. This will mean
that the prior mortgage will be paid Off
and a general reorganization of the
property will be undertaken.

DIR. Buchanan Executed.

Sing Sing, N. Y, July 1-Dr. Buchanan
was executed at 11:23 a. m.
1t was IL IA when the witnesses were
called to the execution chamber. All
was then ready, and Electrician Davis
was at the switch board. In the closed
box was the convict who, upon signal,
was to turn the switch. When the party
was seated, the electrician put a bank
of incandescent lights on the chair and
sent the current through them. There
were 1,740 volts in the bank, and when
they were switched off again, the war
den and two guards appeared at the
door with DIR. Buchanan. He walked in
without a word, and took his seat. In
about thirty seconds he was strapped,
and in forty seconds was pronounced
dead. The voltage Of 1,740 was kept
on for four seconds, and then reduced
to forty volts, which was kept on for
thirty seconds more. 1t was the quick.
est and most successful execution ever
seen at the prison.

May Let Balm on.

Omaha, Neb., July There is much
discussion in Omaha as to whether or
not defaulting treasurer Henry Bolln
shall be prosecuted. The record shows
that at least $25,OOO Of city funds were
missing when Bolln was deposed. As
this was made good by bondsmen, and
the city lost nothing, some were in
favor of letting Bolln escape further
prosecution. But a most remarkable
feature of the case was made public
to-day, when n letter from acting City
Attorney Cornish to the mayor was
printed In which he advises that no
prosecution be instituted. No steps
have yet been taken to arrest Bolln.
II one warrant Is issued, many others
must be, for many politicians are guilty
Of participating in the deal.

HOT WEATHER POLITICS.
British Statesmen Preparing for . Lively
Campaign.

British Statesmen Preparing for . Lively
Campaign.
London, June 29-The dissolution of
Parliament, which, as the Marquis OF
Salisbury intimated in the House OF
Lords yesterday, will likely occur on
July 8, will be the deathknell OF the sea-
son here, and in fortnight there will be
a general exodus to the country.
On all sides the agents of both parties
are actively preparing for the fray.
Quiet canyassing Is already going on In
some quarters, and the Primrose league
is preparing to rally to the standard Of
the Marquis of Salisbury, the army OF
Tories, eager for the battle, the result of
which is looked upon as certain to be a
victory for Conservatism.
The campaign will begin In deadly
earnest next week, when Lord Rose
berry will speak at the Royal Albert
Hail, South Kensington, and the same
day Sir William Vernon Harcourt, ex-
chancellor of the exchequer, will make
an address at Derby, the seat Of which
he has represented in Parliament since
1880.
Following this will be heard fierce
reply from some of the leaders Of the
Conservative Unionist parties, including
the Marquis of Salisbury, the Right
Hon. A. ]. Balfour and the Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, now dubbed "Ju-
das" by the Irish Nationalists. Every
man on each side, who can be expected
to win vote by a speech, will be call
ed upon to do so and n hot exchange of
recriminations will fill the air until the
polling clears away the smoke Of battle.
