Would Not suppress tho New.

AL thin skinned individuals who
complain of the INDEPENDENT because
it publishes the news, should read
the following from the Genoa Courier.
There's meat in it for them:
The Carson Appeal of'last Tuesday
copied the District Court proceedings
in the Harris estate from the Courier,
and commented rather severely on
the actions OF the relatives of MI.
Harris in trying to compel the Cour-
ier to suppress the court news by
threatening the publisher with al
most every known calamity. The
Appeal stated, among other things,
that the reason Of the dislike to the
publication on the part Of the rela-
tives %was that about six years ago
Harris went through insolvency and
swore that he had no assets. The
bobbing up of the life insurance.
policy shows that he had assets"
Although threatened and notified
that he would suffer severely if he
persisted in publishing the news, the
publisher Of the Courier went about
his business and published the court
proceedings in the usual form. and
thought that was all the item there
wa in it.
He did not consider the fact that
one or two persons objected to the
publica lion, a matter Of much i'm
portance to the general public. It is
a too common occurrence. People
frequently do and say things that
they are ashamed of, and they are
almost sure to raise a howl if they
think there is any likelihood of it APP
pearing i'll the paper. But it is the
mission of Il newspaper to give the
news. If it doesn't do this it is not
worthy the name. 1t is the editors
duty to report all that transpires of
general interest in the community
where his paper is published. Often
times the fulfillment of this duty is q
disagreeable task, but no editor will
shirk who cares for the reputation of
his paper.

No Endearing Ties Tween East and West

No Endearlng Ties Tween East anu w esC'
But there is another view, most po-
tent Of all, which must be considered
as affecting the solidity of the United
States as now constituted. Until the
present time the west has been bound
to the east by ties Of parentage and
home. The western man who was sent
to the senate or the house OF representa-
tives was born in the east; the western
merchant who had accumulated little
money turned his face to the east to
visit the old homestead or the last rest
ing places Of his parents. He loved the
east because it gave him birth. Inc
present generation in the west feels no
such thrill, is bound by no such endear-
ing tie. 1t is Of the west, western; 1t
has breathed new atmosphere; 1t has
imbibed new likes and dislikes. In the
generations which are yet to come the
bond of sympathy will be still further
removed
The representative in the Fifty-fourth
congress from Wyoming until he visited
Washington recently had never been

now quite extensively, one fails to find
much of it in the newest Paris models
The tendency Is to more formal fabrics
and yokes, revers, turned over collars and
epaulets of velvet, satin or heavy embroid-
cry or passementerie. A favorite style
shows waist with bolero effect in some
rich goods over a palmer fabric.
Black lace and white lace, that are now
seen in fashionable partnership, make a
pleasing combination upon capes. White
lace alone is also very effective when car
ried down in vertical bands which separate
plaitings of gauze or satin. Heavy ecru
guipure i'm the form of insertion is charm
ing when thus disposed over dark green
silk. Green of various shades, but never In

as it lends itself very happily to rich orna-

embroidery appears moro beautiful and
jeweled or beaded ornamentation more
brilliant.

printed with black spots. The godet skirt
is slashed from the foot to the knee, the

Two CUTE FOXES.

They Had Fun While Baffled Hunters
Wondered Where They Were Hidden.
In Outing is told the story Of pair
of foxes that for time, at any rate,
enjoyed the sport Of fox hunt. The
dogs jumped them, but after awhile the
trail ended at pond.
About the center Of the pond was a
bent tree, the two ends Of which were
in the water, while the highest point Of
the curve was perhaps 20 feet above the
pond. The dogs were working about
the pond, looking for the trail, and the
men were looking, too, and they were
beginning to feel rather curious, espe-
cially as every few moments they would
hear fox yelp sharply. 1t seemed to be
q derisive bark, which it probably was.
After awhile movement in the top of
the curve of the tree in the pond attract
ed attention.
"Upon this tree,' the account con-
tinues, ''seated comfortably at the point
Of it's highest curve, was an old dog fox.
The cunning rascal had Travelled across
the pond on the logs, then scaled the
bent tree, and while we watched he
jerked his goodly brush up and down
and barked his derision at the whole
performance. After awhile we saw his
vixen seated on an adjacent log They
were simply watching the futile efforts
Of our pack to locate them, and, likely
enough, they enjoyed the experience. !"
One of the men got up wind from the
animals and his scent drove them out
The dogs took the male fox's trail and
drove it at last to log spanning a
ditch, on which man was sitting. The
fox did not see the motionless man till
close enough to be reached, when, with
frantic leap sideways into the water,
he escaped the grab. The race did not
last long then. The wet fox gave off
strong, easily followed scent, and the
wet brush was like piece Of lead, SO
the animal was killed by the dogs while
the men rushed in afoot to get closer
view.

oravats and compose jabots from neck to
waist, sometimes continuing even below
the belt. Collarettes of gauze, collars with
long points in guipure or embroidery and
bows arranged around the neck are also
worn, with other accessories. White satin
is employed for medici collarettes and other
adornments, enriched with gold cord or
pearls, and forms revers, vests and belts.
Pointed bc3dices are again seen, but the
points are short, and a belt of ribbon, pas
sementerie or galloon lows the limo of
the bodice.
Skirts are still very little trimmed, al
though modest amount of ornamentation
is sometimes used. Very fanciful stuffs,
such as broche silksand changeable taffetas
of the Louis Quinze or pompadour style

.zon cloth. Hard, rather stiff goods, on the
order of lasting and mohair, having mar
row ribs, are also used Revers, collars,
cuffs and pocket flaps are the recognized
decorations, with the addition of fancy
buttons and braiding. Sometimes the
,braiding is very simple, but occasionally
flat and round soutache and fine cord are
mingled to form an elaborate pattern re-
;sembling embroidery.

wedding gown of white satin. The train
is round and falls in godets The foot of
the front of the skirt is edged with mar
row garland of orange blossoms, which Is

carried diagonally across the bodice. The
sleeves are tight from the wrist to the up

blossoms is placed at the base of each

a monopoly of all the big dinners Of a

with as much attention as the largest
restaurants could give to it. Many
large dinners have been given at the

JOHN n. SURRATT.
His Escape From Capture When He Was
Papa1 ZOuave.

His Escape From Capture When He Was
Papal Zouave.
Whether Surratt was in the city on
the day Of Lincoln's assassination will
probably never be positively known.
During his trial he attempted to prove
that he was in Elmira, N. Y, doing
special service for the Confederacy, and
the proof which he furnished was suffi-
Gent to convince out of the 10 jurors
that he was not present and took mo
part in the plot. Surratt claimed to have
first learned Of the murder on the morn
ing following the assassination from the
newspapers while in Elmira and on the
next morning, while en- route to New
York city, of his suspected completely
in the plot. He fled Immediately to
Canada, where he remained concealed
by Catholic priests for nearly five
months. Leaving Canada, he went TO
England, thence to Paris, and thence to
Rome, where, under the name Of Wnt
son, he enlisted in the zouaves of tie
pope.
While in the Papal zouaves he was
recognized by Canadian acquaintance,
who betrayed him. On the day follow
ing his arrest, while under the guard of
six men, he leaped blindly from rocky
precipice over 100 feet in depth, and,
alighting by chance on projecting rock
80 feet below, clambered quickly down
the abyss escaped, reached Naples in
the course of week and sailed to Al
exandria on the same vessel which car
ried the instructions to the consul there
that led to his capture. He was finally
brought back to the United States and
tried at Washington by civil court
The trial extended over period of two
months, and more than 900 witnesses
appeared on the stand The jury dis
agreed, as above stated, and the govern
ment did not prosecute the case further.

Jackets to 70 Moro Worn-Lace and Ruch-

Ruches, choux and puffs of tulle are the
fashionable trimming for millinery pur-

the same material often accompany the
hats and bonnets thus adorned.
Now that sleeves are diminishing jack
cts will be more worn, and some of the
new models are really elaborate.
The fashion of wearing bodices without
something white at the neck is gradually
declining, and as it is not particularly
becoming style nor dainty one its dis
appearance will not be regretted. A ruch-
ing OF fine lace or gauze sets off the face to
advantage and gives an effect of delicacy
and refinement. Linen collars and cuffs
are also worn again with tailor gowns and
other plain costumes
While elaborate neckwear made of lace
and other diaphanous materials is worn
