Every woman, whether she knows it
or not, has a color or colors that are
hers by right of suitability, and, how
ever much her eyes may be captivated
by other tints, she should not be led
astray by her fancy. Again, certain
shades Of a particular color are often as
unbecoming to a woman's complexion
as others are the reverse Thus, not
only colors, but shades, have to be stud
led and understood if harmony in these
and the becoming in dress are to be
attained Some women only get far
enough on the road of good taste in
dress TO choose colors and materials
that blend well or contrast better. but
not far enough to take into considera-
ton the more important question of
whether the choice made is one that
will conduce to their personal advan-
tage. There is a prevailing idea that
men lean toward the plain if not
strictly severe style of dress, or what is
now termed tailor-made. The palmer
the cut of a bodice and the less elabor-
ate in make, the more becoming it is
to the figure OF the wearer, and the
more it appeals to the masculine taste
Many men go a step farther and abso-
lutely taboo the present style of tea
gown, dear to the hearts of women
From their point of view the tea gown,
concealing the waist, destroys the sym
metry of the figure, and. therefore,
should only be worn in the bedroom,
and rot out of it. To this mandate
many wives have to bow.

MISSOURI.
TOPEKA's VICTORY.
Fort Riley Fails to Score In the Game
Here Yesterday.

Here Yesterday.
Topeka, 20: Fit. Riley, O. That was
the result of the foot ball game yester-
day. Uncle Sans blue coats were drag
ged in the dust of Athletic park and if
teen tired and sore soldiers took their
places in the ranks this morning aud
tried to look happy. Fl Riley came to
Topeka to win the game. There was
every reason to suppose that they would
do SO, because they had been practicing
all season while the Topeka players were
raw and untried. The result of the
game proves that Topeka has material for
foot ball players for the game was in
many respects a brilliant one.
The game started with two long runs
on the part of Gugel and Stahl of the
Topeka team, which carried the ball to
Fort Riley's 15-yard line. There the To-
peka players were checked, and Fort
Riley took the ball and forced their op-
ponents to the center of the field, where
John Harrison took the ball. and while
the Fort Riley players were engaged
around the end aud secured a touchdown.
Gugel failed to kick the goal. Score, To-
peka 4, Fort Riley 0.
In less than ten minutes the Topeka
team repeated their ex perience, but ag ain
Gugel failed to kick the goal Score, To-
peka 8. Fort Riley 0.
After the next kick off Fort Riley re-
doubled her efforts to score. Then they
started a whirling play, by which they
made constant gains until the ball rested
within a foot of Topeka's goal line, but
they failed to make further gains, and
Topeka was given the ball on downs
Then the ball was carried back to near
the center of the field, where time was
caIlad far the first h 4lf
The second half was almost repetition
of the first. There were some excellent
plays made by Bishop, Stzhl, Cain, Cur
~ and Gugel of the Topeka team and
Corporal Cornford and Private Kelley OF
the Fl. Riley team. Fourier of the Fit.
Riley team received kick over the eye
aud retired Kelley, the star player of
the same team, wrenched his ankle and
retired, aud when Gugel made the last
touchdown for Topeka some one jumped
on his stomach from the effects of which
he was in a semi conscious condition fer
sometime.
W. E. Higgins Of Topeka acted as
referee during the first half, aud Lieut..
Lyons of FIT. Riley as umpire, and their
positions were reversed during the last
half The linesmen were S. G. Lowen-
thai of Fl Riley and Harvey SilvernaI
of Topeka
When the game was called the score
stood, Topeka 20, FIT. Riley D. The Fl.
Riley team went home last night.

Terrific Power of Nitro -Glycerine.

The Fort Wayne Sentinel gives the
following particulars of an explosion
Early on the morning of April 26
William Ulmer, a young man eighteen
years old and unmarried, driver for
the Empire Glycerine Company, which
is furnishing nitro-glycerine for the
companies engaged In sinking oil wells
in the Montpelier field, IA miles distant,
started from the mills in a two-horse
wagon to take 720 quarts, about 200
pounds, of nitro-glycerine to the Mont
pelier fields.
About 8 A. NJ, when two miles
southeast of the city of Bluffton, near
the Powell farm, his wagon struck the
root of a tree and upset and the explo-
Sion of the nitro-glycerine Immediately
followed, carrying death and destruction
IN its wake and creating scene of
horror which it is impossible to correctly
describe.
The wagon, the driver, and the horses
were blown to atoms, and when the
people living in the neighborhood
arrived at the place where the explosion
occurred not trace of either of them
could be discovered, they having been
torn into thousand pieces and carried
miles away.
Several large trees in the vicinity
were torn up by the roots and carried
many feet away, and the window glass
In the houses for two miles around was
broken by the force of the explosion,
which made a hole in the ground Is
feet deep, 60 feet across the top, and 35
feet at the bottom.
All that was found of Ulmer, the
driver, was a part of his clothing, and
this was nearly a mile away from the
spot where he met his death. Pieces of
the horses were also found about the
same distance from the spot, as were
also parts of the demolished wagon.
The force of the explosion was plainly
felt in this city, although Bluffton is
twenty-five miles away, by the rattle of
windows in the houses, and many
persons thought it was due to an earth
quake shock. The same shock was also
felt in many towns for miles around
Bluffton.
Cattle were killed in fields around the
scene of the explosion and many runa-
ways of frightened horses occurred at
Bluffton.
