Gladness Comes

With n better understanding of the
w transient nature Of the many Phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper cf-
forts-gentle efforts -plcasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipatcdcon
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionso of families, andis
everywhere esteemed 81 highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is tie
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its benz
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
foornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

with the fact that he had been sick for
some time, are the only reasons that
can be given for the tragedy.

for the popular tailor made gowns this

Narrower skirts and smaller sleeves
are observable in the newest tailor

being the model in New York, though
some of the English gowns show the
close sleeve.

another and, if possible, more simple
model, also from Paris, was gown bav-

finished with a tiny ruf1ied edging IF

yoke, from which came all the fullness
of the bodice, which was very slightly

were close fitting epaulets of the lace

Of the corsage, a second at the right side

ing afternoon gown seen was of striped
mohair, trimmed with jet and sequin
embroidered plaits. The puff sleeves
were set i'll tiny tucks on the shoulders.
Another pleasing afternoon gown had a
broche silk bodice, made with a tulle
collar and front. 1t was enriched with
embroidered yoke and braces. The skirt
was Of grosgrain silk.
Chiffon continues to be favorite Of
fashion, and tulle, gauze and other dia-
phanous fabrics are in high favor. Grass
linen has taken the feminine world by
storm. 1t is seen everywhere and prom
Uses no end Of comfort for the hot sum-
mer days. Some of il is embroidered
and some Of it striped with lace inser-
tion and with tucks. 1t may be permit
ted to make shirt fronts, or indeed
whole bodices, with success The whole
bodice of grass lawn will prove a sum-
mer Joy. In the meantime this lawn is
recommended for large collars and cuffs
TO wear oyeR.. serge and other wool
gowns. The use of grass linen for the
waists Of wool gowns is very novel
idea, and a very useful one too, since
there are so many beautiful designs en-
broidered in all the oriental colors.
Waists of different material from the
skirt and sleeves seem to hold their own
place on the list of fashion, but many
of the new gowns have sleeves, skirt
and bodice all alike.
With the advent Of Easter come nu-
merous weddings, and prospective brides
will be interested to learn that simplic-
ity is the keynote Of the smartest Pari-
sian wedding gowns. First, one must
decide whether this all important dress
is TO be made Of rich, soft silk or Of
satin. Having settled this momentous
question, a careful contemplation Of the
SllOwing Partisan model is advised.
1t is Of princess shape, which for we'd
ding gowns is quite the approved style.
Its absolute simplicity is relieved by lit
tie V shaped insertions Of accordion
plated chiffon, which are let in on the
corsage by the shoulder and bordered
with trails Of tiny orange blossoms,
which eventually taper together into a
smartly tied satin bow, and then are
continued in a single line down the side
seams of the dress, finishing at the foot
with large bow.
On the sleeves, too, the seams are out
lined with orange blossoms, and there is
a soft touch Of chiffon at the wrist, and
novel arrangement Of the collar, which
is cut in series of little square tabs,
with tiny lunches Of orange blossoms
peeping out between. You could not
well have anything more charming, and
the outlay required for such dress need
not alarm any one.

EASTER EGGS.
A Few Hints as to Preparing Them in
Pretty Co!ors.
Exchanged

fExchangel
A dish of colored eggs is necessity on
the Easter breakfast table, and they are
so little trouble to do. You will need an
old saucepan, or even an empty tomato
can, which can be thrown away after
using. To make the eggs pink fill the
saucepan with enough water to cover
the eggs, and add enough cochineal to
DIOR it delicate pink Remove the
eggs with strainer, then add more
cochineal, to color the remainder a deep
red and flaming scarlet, according to the
amount of color used. Powdered log
wood used in the same way will color all
shades of purple, from pale lavender to
deep pansy purple and black, by adding
more of the logwood.
Old coffee boiled up strong will give all
shades of brown.
Red and yellow onion Feelings will
give the yellow shades.
After the purple eggs are all colored,
add a little vinegar to the dye and you
will get beautiful shade of crimson;
lump or two of sulphate of iron added to
it will give brilliant blue. Spinach
water will color green.
Leave few Of them white; after they
are boiled hard brush them with glue
and sprinkle thickly with flicker" of
gold dust. When the eggs are all finished
rub them all lightly with sweet oil until
they take fine gloss.
A sentiment or pretty motto may be
painted on any of the eggs, or some
dainty floral design in oil colors. If
they are intended for gifts, a pretty
motto on soft paper may be folded or
pressed to the egg, tied about with baby
ribbon, fastened in little bow at one
side.

Louis Balser has retained Pau &

dren to the Jail Wednesday afternoon,
and the firm stated Saturday
that it will undoubtedly appear as
Mr.. Balser's attorneys. They have
done his legal business for years and
he naturally turned to them for as
sistance now. This law firm has
reputation as hard fighters which in
dicates that Balser will have the
benefit of every defense known to the
law and possible in this case, which is
not a desirable one to defend

traitor of the estate of his step-mOther,
Mary Balzer, the deceased. The
purpose of this is to have some one
capable of acting intelligently take
charge of the affairs at the hotel uutil
they can be cleared up, and who can
dispose of the five remaining small
children. Louis lives at Mapleton
and is a young man of about twenty
five. He will remain in this city for
the present.
The American House has been
closed since the murder, and the
thirty-fve railroad employees who
were boarding there were obliged to
seek quarters elsewhere.
w. G.. Hoerr, who owns the hotel,
states that he has twenty applica-
tions to rent the house, and that he
will rent it in few days, or as soon
as the special administrator can
straighten up-the affairs of the house.
Balser states that his foot is not as
painful as it was. He said yesterday
afternoon that he might make
statement after he had conversed
with his lawyer. He had long con-
versation with A. r. Pau Sr. this af-
ternoon, lasting over an hour, at
which it is probable that the line of
defense was talked over. They were
still in private conference when the
reporter called at the Jail this after
noon, and both announced that there
would be no statement for publication
at this time.
1t is presumed that the defense will
be that the defendant was drunk at
the time of the shooting, acting in
sudden anger, and that he was men,
tally irresponsible on account of long
drinking and sickness. The claim
may also be put in that the murder
GUS interest was absent.

Wonderful Cures in Wisconsin.

DR.. Warner-Dear Sir: Last March
my children were taken down with
the measles, which left four of them
with very bad coughs. My Oldest
daughters case became so alarming
that we feared she would have quick
consumption. Tried many different
medicines, recommended for coughs
and lung complaints, but all to no pur-
pose. One of my neighbors recon-
mended your White Wine of Tar
Syrup, as one bottle had cured nearly
every man in camp where he worked
of severe colds, and my family COM
menced taking it. In three days we
saw great change for the better and
they did not use the whole of one
bottle before their coughs were cured.

This forenoon Mr. Blanchard had an
hours conference with Hall in the
presence of several gentlemen at DR..
Andrews office, and accused him of
all the 'crookedness which he alleges
Hall has committed. He called Hall
lier, forger, embezzler, defaulter,
ETC., and gave him severe talking to,
but Hall was not "phased." He sat
in dazed condition, with surprised
and hurt look upon his face, and re-
| solutely denied any Knowledge of
wrong doing. He remembered every
thing connected with their business
transactions except anything crooked.
He did not change color during the
interview and acted his part thorough
| ly if he is feigning, but more than
ever convinced some of those present
that he is deranged. Hall asked Mr.,
Blanchard why he (HalD should have
been so anxious to send for Blanchard
if such things had occurred and he
was liable to be prosecuted.
Mr.. Blanchard. who is accompanied
by his wife, returned to Chicago this
afternoon. He said that he had only
come out of curiosity, and with no
intention Of prosecuting Hall. The
latter is still at the hospital. DR..
Bridgeman, of Minneapolis, who was
paesent at yesterdays meeting, be-
lieves Hall to be fake.
DR.. Tomlinson found on his recent
examination of Hall, that his cir
culation is defective and said that his
condition might be due to an
epeleptic condition. The veins on
one side were abnormally swollen, and
on the other side the pulse was barely
perceptable.
Mr.. Blanchard, before leaving, had
long private conversation with Hall
and offered to let the past be forgotten
and to supply him with money to 60
wherever he wanted to and make
fresh start. Hall broke down COM
pletely and was convulsed with sobs,
but said that he could not accept the
assistance. This is opposed to the
shamming theory.
Mr.. Stewart, in whose Office at
Fruitdale Mr. Hall had his office for six
months, considered him dishonest but
