WHY NO ARRESTS?
The Well Poisoning Ought to BE Looked
After by the Police

The Well Poisoning Ought to BE Looked
After by the Police.
Two wells were poisoned almost in the
heart of the city. Both incidents were
reported promptly to the police, and they
ascertained that the poisons put into the
wells were deadly, but no attempt was
made to arrest the person or parsons who
put the drugs ia the wells. 1t seems this
Is neglected opportunity fer the police
to cover themselves with glory.
Sheriff Burdge knew nothing of the
matter until he read last nights JOUR-
Nal. Chief of Police Wnkerson said
that he had turned the matter over to
Captain Gardiner, but that no evidence
had been found which warranted the
making of arrests. 1t was al Captain
GARDENERS suggestion that the analysis
OF the water was made.
The police were instructed to keep
the matter very quiet, and everything
was done to keep the truth from leaking
out
The JOURNALS informants have
enough evidence to warrant an investi-
CATION. We suggest that the police look
into this matter again.

lafels coming down to the waist. In one design of merit such a bodice sur mounts plain skirt of glaee silk, gold shot and piped with white satin. The bodice is the same silk with wide la- pels, or more correctly revers. of white satin frilled with chiffon and applioued with yellow lace. The soft vest is frilled in many tiny folds and finished with three big bows of lace. The sleeves strike an entirely new note, being fig ured in big designs.
 The seasons dressing gown. too, has angel wings, as these big revers com ing quite to the waist might be called. In some examples they are very wide at the shoulders, falling well over the sleeves; it is an interesting example of the use of materials that would once have seemed dissonant that the low neck of a dressing gown may be bor- dered with feathers quite as appropri- ately as with lace. Show gowns are also made with neck ruffies of roses or violets anchored to the low bodices by straps of velvet, black usually, to show off the soft whiteness of the neck.
 Whoever has attempted the heart breaking operation of stuffing this years dress sleeves into last years coat will not wonder that the fayorite cloak of the season has no sleeves at all, but gets there just the same by means of a generous cape covering the huge arm-holes. With such garment length of skirt is a necessity; it may be trimmed or enlivened with yoke say of white satin upon dahlin velvet, and sparkling jet upon the satin-bor- dered with bands of fur which diverge all the way down it's length to the ground. Such cloak will have at the collar roll of fur so high that the wearer can with difficulty look over it.
 The problem of wearing this years cloak over next years gowns won't present itself, if one indulges in one of these perishable glories of satin and

fur and passementerie. It seems like 8 conspiracy on the part of the milliners to bankrupt their patrons; but doubt less milliners have seemed always to be doing that since long before Napo- leon locked up Empress Josephine's most subtly successful modiste in a fit of desperation at her bills, bills, billsl
 The combination of green and blue of not greatly dissimilar density of shade is one of the seasons ways, which is rather trying to those of a dull color sense.
 Bicycling is easily possible in most parts of the country during some DOT tion of every month in the year. but un- til spring it can hardly hope to be a leader. The bicycle gown does very well for skating; and the question nat urally arises. as they say ip the grad uation essays, whether the bicycle boomers also will do on ice. They, or something like them will certainly be worn, but not, I think, in very large numbers. Indeed, even for bicycle use the baggy boomers are not making the progress their friends had hoped.
 Chiffon and tulle are inexpensive and docile materials much in use by the young folks for ball dresses. Freshness is so necessary in an evening gown that there is a general disposition to avoid in their construction the use of very expensive materials, except in the case of women no longer at an age when much dancing allures. The curious use of fur and feathers in all sorts of unlike ly places and ways creeps in even here. and the necks and yolxes of ball gowns are apt to be bordered with it. The low square neck opening is the favorite. Diminutive puffs at the sides which may develop into paniers cause some uneasi- ness. If we are to have Watteau shapes, bustles and the like, paniers will doubtless be in keeping with them.
 All women are Frou Frous now, but the rustic is the missing of silken petti- coats, not the crackle of starch.
 An evening wrap of satin lined with stamped velyeteen seems like revers- ing the usual order of things.
