Bayless Walker arrived in the city
Wednesday afternoon from the upper
Natcheez, with the sad information OF the

Mrs. Stark waited anxiously all night

Coloring Easter Eggs.

A dish of colored eggs is necessity on
the Easter breakfast table, and they are
80 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 gil the
saucepan with enough water to cover the
eggs, and add enough cochineal to color
1t delicate pink. Remove the eggs
with a strainer, then add more cochineal.
to color the remainder IA deep red and
flaming scarlet, according to the amount
of color used. Powdered logwood used
in the same way will color all shades of
purple, from 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 little vinegar to the dye and you
will get beautiful shade of crimson
lump or two of sulpbate of iron added to
it will give a brilliant blue. Spinach
water will color green.
Leave few OF them white; after they
are boiled hard brush them over with glue
ard sprinkle thickly with flicker" or gold
dust. When the eggs are all finished rub
them all lightly with sweet oil until they
take on a fine gloss.
A sentiment or pretty motto may be
painted on any of the eggs, or some
dainty floral design in oil colors. II they
are intended for gifts, pretty motto on
soft paper may be folded or pressed to the
eggs, tied about with narrow baby ribbon,
fastened in little bow on one side.

The CHAM, of woman.

Where the charm OF woman lies is
now subject OF discussion in the east
ern newspapers. The siatuesque woman
"divineiy tall, divineiy fair," is cham
ploned by many but even she envies the
petite fluffy -haired blonde tho would give
half OF her curls Tor two inches Of her
Juno-llke sisters height.
Blue eyes, brown eyes. length or
breadth, what dues il count? The most
beautiful women are dissatisfied with
their own appearance. The piquant pug
nose Is as often a winner Us the classical
Greclan. The charm lies not in beauty
80 much as III individuality. 1t isn't the
details that count; it is as Trilby says,
the altogether"-her carriage, manner,
voice, expression; in short herself that
makes or unmakes her charm.
1t is the woman, then, that has the
courage TO be herself who attracts.
Originals are SO lnuca more desirable
than copies no matter how accurate the
copy may lie. If ii be natural to wear
ones hair IN careless fashion, by all
means do so. Nature is never mistaken
But let the adnHring sister, whom that

individuality, when combined with
that nameless something called manner,
is the most potent weapon in the posses

many a homely woman a repution for

faultless face and features, has sighed in

which was found near the scene OF the
crime, covered with blood and hair.
Either blow was sufficient to have caused
death. Robbery was not the object Of
murder as DR.. Lyons pocket book and
jewelry were found undisturbed upon his
person.
The news of the murder created intense
excitement at home and horror through
out the state, the deceased having a large
circle of friends and acquaintance, being
prominent. in society and political affairs.
The state offered reward OF $500, Kitti-
tas county $500, Roslyn $500 and the
citizens Of Roslyn $500 for information
which would lead to the capture and con.
yiction Of the murderers. Suspicion fell

was that foot tracks were traced from
where the body lay almost to the door OF
the home Of the Joneses. On the strength
OF these circumstances the city marshal,
against the advice OF d. w. Simmons,
who was working on the case, caused the
arrests OF the suspects. The preliminary
examination was held on Wednesday at.
ternoon but the justice decided that the
evidence was not sufficient to warrant
holding the prisoners, and they were dis.
charged. Mr.. Simmons returned that
evening thoroughly disguised with the
work of the Roslyn officers who appeared
more anxious to prevent any outsider
securing the reward than to bring the
guilty parties to justice.
