BAD BOYS AND GIRLS
Waits That Have Fallen Into the
Hands of the Law.
SADLY IN NEED OF REFORM
Young Maids Who Are Carving Out
a Life of Misery-The DisapS
pearance of a Buggy and
the Youthful Robbers.

The Bell family with its complica-
lions has at last fallen into the hands
or the police who, with the assistance
OF the court, will straighten matters
out. Mrs. Bell is the mother of a fam
lily of girls-May, aged IA, Lizzie, aged
IL, and Alice aged 8. I They have been
familiar figures on the streets of the
city, thinly clad and grimy with filth
and dirt, they have been more or less
conspicuous. They were frequently
about saloons and always appeared to
nave change whcrewith to buy the lux
urfes of child life, candy and nuts, or
to rent bicycles. Where the money
came from is not known though the
charitably disposed say that Sthey
begged 1T. Others claim that the old
est girl was wiser in her day and gen.
GRAFTON than she should be-
The officers tried in vain to drive
them from the streets and appeals to
the mother were not availing. AS a
last resort now information has been
flied against them and under a charge
OF 'mendicancy, vagrancy and incor-
rigibility," an effort will be made to
send them to the reform school.
The children are by no means blame
able for their tendencies and condition.
The Surroundings at the cabin home
near the corner of Third and Chestnut
streets have been demoralizing. Os-
tensibly Mrs. Bell has been doing wash
ing for living but the officers give the
place a bad name, and John Harris. a
regular frequenter of the house, was
sent down to Deer Lodge for 60 days for
vagrancy
Mrs. Bell is to be given a chance to
do better when free of all these incum-
ORANGES and IL not she too will come
under the ban of the law.
Another trio of waits came before
Judge Fitzgerald yesterday afternoon.
They were three boys-David Richards,
Sam Bonner and William Bracken.
who are accused of stealing horse and
buggy from John Jones. The carriage
disappeared from near Brownells
stable Friday afternoon and no one
knew what had become of 1t. The kids
came home Friday night about IL
O'clock each riding a pony, and ques-
tioning brought out that they had
taken the horse and buggy, driven
down in the valley where they traded
1t to Indians for the ponies. The Bron-
ner and Bracken boys are practically
homeless, and are in sore need of re-
straint and schooling. If they do not
get this they are in a fair way to be-
come famous criminals and the court
will seek a way out by sending them
to a reformatory institution. The boys
are under IS years of age and have
given the police considerable trouble by
petty pilfering. Their last escapade is
the most serious yet committed and IL
IS conceded to be time to stop their |
operations.

A MAN OF NERVE.
On Hands and Knees He Drags Himself
Nearly n Mile.

Nearly Mile.
From the New Northwest: George S.
Gordon, a ranchman who resides about
five miles from Avon, near Bradley post
office, met with a most distressing acct
dent last Friday evening while driving
from Avon to his home. When about two
miles from Avon his team became un-
manageable while crossing the railroad
track and started on a mad run up the
track. After running about 40 rods the
team SHE'D to one side and struck an en-
bankment, throwing Mr.. Gordon out of
the wagon and onto the track. He tried to
get up, but found he could not stand, and
pulling off his boot. discovered his right
leg was broken just above the ankle. He
was in a sad plight: IL was quite cold and
dark; he could not get his boot back on;
the nearest house one and half miles
away, and he could not walk a step. In
this condition he started out on a painful
and tedious journey up the track crawl
ing along the ties on his hands and knees
and dragging his broken leg behind him.
He had not proceeded very far when a
train came laundering down the track
and he dragged himself to one side to let
II pass. After a short rest he started
again on his journey. He had Travelled
fully three-fourths of a mile in this man.
ner when he saw another light on the
track which he took-to be the headlight
OF locomotive. To his JOY and surprise
IT crossed the track, and raising his voice
TO its utmost he shouted for help. He
did not call in vain; the light started to-
ward him and he soon recognized his two
sons. The team had come home without
the father and the boys Immediately set
out in search of him. They found him
nearly exhausted and his hands and
kEees were skinned and bleeding He was
taken homo and physician was tele-
graphed for. DR.. Cranson went down SAT-
urday, arriving at the injured mans home
about noon. The doctor found him in a
cheerful mood, although both bones i'm his
leg were broken and his hands and
knees swollen and sore from the terrible
experience of the preceding night. Mr..
Gordon Is SO years of age and is a veteran
of the Union army. having served during
the war in a Michigan regiment. Dr.
CIanson says he is man of wonderful
nerve and thinks he viii get along all
right, though a wound he received in his
right thigh during the war may tend to
sggravate the case.

HERE is THE NEWEST VEIL.
Spider Web Mesh sprinkIed with IrIdes-
cent Chenille Dots.

cent Chenille Dots.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Neils are at a premium while the
March winds are blowing. The young
person who wishes to keep her complex
lon thing of beauty must guard ii at
TINS season of the year with special
care. To do this wells are a necessity.
The new French novelty veilings have
just appeared i'm the shops, and are
pretty enough to make one forget the
exorbitant prices asked for them.
The newest and most novel veil in
town is called the Dresden. 1t has a
black spider web mesh covered with
chenille dots in the iridescent colors-
pale pink, light blue and delicate green.
Another novelty is the brown spider
web veil, sprinkled with black chenille
dots.
Lace-trimmed wells are much worn.
The latest shows the bottom of the veil
cut in small Van Dyke points, edged
with Valenciennes lace. Many of the
most expensive black wells are finished
with an applique border of white lace.
The white chiffon wells so popular at
the beginning of the season are still
worn, but now they have a border of
colored dots.
The tulle veil promises to be the veil
OF the spring and summer. 1t comes in
any of the ordinary colors and lies at
the back of the head in a large bow.
with flowing ends. In fact, all the new
wells tie in bow at the back and in
some cases the ends are long enough to
make themselves quite conspicuous.
Every fashionable woman these days
owns two. or three veil pins. Those
most in vogue are shaped like a butter
fly and made with a patent spring
which is concealed under the body.
Vari-colored bits of enamel may form
the butterhys wings, or they may be
studded with sparkling gems Besides
the butterfly veil pins there are dragon
flies and wonderful looking beetles act
ing in this capacity.

The Constitution Of Atlanta, Ga, has
discovered that the south is being cor
rupted right along. 1t asserts that money
is being used by presidential aspirants and
with telling effect If halt this paper says
is true it is sad commentary on the cor
ruptibility of the southern republicans.
1.-The country is just now Witnessing the
Quad rennial scandal to which it is regularly
treated by the republican party. The
spectacle which is now before the country
is not one which concerns the ignorant
voter, nor in which the base and irrespon-
sible are the participants. 1t is spectacle
in which the governors of two of the great
est states in the Union, United States
senator and the speaker of the house
of representatives, all republicans, are
engaged in the work of deliberately pur-
chasing, open and above board, the votes
of the southern states in the national
republican convention. The agents of
these candidates, those high men who have
SO often preached about northern civiliza-
ton and southern depravty, are now trav-
cling over every part of the southern states,
not seeking to spread political ideas, not
advancing the honest claims of either can
didate to the confidence of his party, nor
urging the voters to high sense of duty
which they owe their country, but delib-
erately bidding for their votes, conducting
| what might be called a public political auc-
ton III which the delegate goes to the high
| est bidder"

The Bradford Opinion has pulled him
self together again and ground out another
editorial, tlliS time about Major Josiah
Grout. The Opinion says:
1--WE do not remember a gentleman,
whose name has been mentioned for the
honorable position of governor of our
state, who was SO generally acceptable as
is Major Josiah Grout OF Derby. He is a
man OF large native ability and his train
ing and experience have been of the kind
to best fit him for the office of chief execu-
tive OF Vermont. He is universally popu-
lar and highly esteemed wherever he is
known. As soldier, as a lawyer, as a
manufacturer, as farmer, as legislator,
and as speaker OF the house Of represen-
tatiyes he has been decided success.
He is selt-made in the sense~ that every
poor boy in Vermont who succeeds, is self
made. He is a man to be relied upon
everywhere
