willing to BE Hanged for 1t.
Fairmont. Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE sec
ond man Of the Sherburne banl rob-
berry and murder is now in the hands
of the officers of Martin county. When
put in the sweat box" he gave the
whole story, but stubbornly refused to
tell his name. He was willing to &C
company the officers to Martin county
to stand trial. and said with great
deal of emphasis that if they wanted TO
hang him they might do so. He de-
tailed to the officers previous crimes
that he and Ibis partner" had been en-
gagged in before the bank robbery was
plotted, and claimed in all OF them
an equal responsibility. When 1t came
to the Sherburne robbery, he said that
his partner got him into it, that did
the shooting, and before they left the
bank took all the money and was to
meet him at Albert Lea on Oct. Is, and
then they would divide. The young
desperate gives as his reason for not
divulging his name that he has pray
ing mother and sister of very high con-
nection and repute. and he will never
allow them to stand the stigma of such
a crime. He is the coolest man in Fair
mont, and. while there is great dan
ger Of lynching. is cool and collected.
The county has called out fifty members
Of Company ID and stationed them in
side the Jail Enclosure. A report was
received from Sherburne that mob
here, but officers declare they will re-
sist an assault and not surrender their
man until all are dead, if necessary.

and "a Half Per Anuum
Washington, Oct. 8. - A statement
issued by the agricultural department
shows that the total commerce Of the
United States, including imports and
exports, for the ten years ended June
30 last was $16,013, ZOE, 1888, or yearly
average Of more than 81 600, O0O, 900.
Compared with the annual average OF
this ten.gear period, the statement says
the figures for 1896 show an upward
tendency not quite so marked as the
gain over 1895, but sufficient to war
rant the hope that unless some new
disturbing factor arises the commercial
depression of 1S94-95 is a thing of the
past, and our commerce. the measure
of general prosperity, will soon resume
its former dimensions.

In speaking of the Papazo Indians
Mr.. McGee said "They inhabit coun-
try of broad plains, with mountain
ranges between. The mountains are re-
markably rugged and rise sharply from
the lowlands. All over the plains live
the Indians. The country is one of the
most arid regions on the face of the
globe, whole year passing sometimes
without drop of rain. Geologically,
it is q curious place. The streams rise
in the mountains, but never reach the
sea, and the debris carried by the rivers,
instead of finding its way to the ocean,
is spre'd upon the plains, the rivers
drying up before they reach the sea.
Semland, in the state of Sonora, was
never seen by white man until about
two years ago, when the bureau Of
ethnology sent out an expedition to eX-
plore that region. The natives are con-
stantly vigilant every moment, from
day to day, week to week, month to
month, year TO year, expecting and
Crcading the approach of an enemy.
They are always prepared for any emer-
gency. The dearth of water was the
greatest obstacle to the exploration.
Every drop we used was carried from
l2 to is miles by men under heavy
guard. Water there is more valuable
than gold, and often we measured it
cut in spooafuls. In counting the dam
gers and labor of securing water we
estimated it worth at from three dol
lars to four dollars a uart."-Chicago

bright green. The hateful frills appear
again in an otherwise charming cos
tune Of book muslin, with braces and
belt of tangerine-tinted ribbon edged
with lace. These ribbon-and-lace ends
hang away down the back, and across
the skirt are not one, but two or three
bands of the lace without the ribbon.
White muslin and black lace over
checked silk is an odd combination, and
charming costume is black and
white silk skirt with black coat bodice
and an embroidered white satin waist
coat.
The grass linens and lawns are by no
means always in light shades over dark.
a silk grass lawn in very dark shades is
now seen over pale blue silk; silk, in the
sample saw, embroidered part of the
way up, waist-banded in blue ribbon
and embroidered at the cuffs of the
ruched sleeves.
There is great use for afternoon
gowns of fichus and other forms of lace
and lace-like frippery. A white dotted
muslin will be seen made up with black
lace insertion over pink or green glace;
nor is there lack of the flounce, pure and
simple, or rather far from simple.
The bloomer bathing suit is made
with short skirt over it. In many bath
ing resorts this summer, the boomers
will be frankly worn without the skirt,
rs the bicycle has taught the wearer
confidence; but hardly in Newport.
The materials may be dotted white
flannels, or preferably cream or gray,
trimmed with black ribbon and worn
with jaunty cap, or black cravette
trimmed with white silk braid, or
flannel cut in bolero jacket with full
blouse waist. a jaunty effect is given
by sandals with straps lacing half way
up to the knee. The recks of modish
gowns are always cut modestly high,
the sleeves short and the skirt not so
long as the boomers by two or three
inches.
The girls are reveling this season in
gay buttons, enamels and moonstones
anil china and Dresden effects, though
many of the gowns conceal the open
ings us cleverly as possible.
Silks, EN- ',roidered mulls, dotted mus
lins, taffetas, foulards and crepes are

hostesses and guests are so young and
girlish as to suggest class in high
school. Kitty Duer's tea was the first

by the way, that Miss Duer is rapidly
assuming in the swell set the place held
successfully by Mrs. Duncan Elliott

upon intellectual quality as upon mere

our wools and our fabrics at any rate:
