let's, worth $3.50, to any one who may hav
used ms much as one box of their tablet9

heard OF a single case where the tablets
have failed to give satisfactory results, and"
III there Is person to be found who has
used them without benefit we want to know
who he is and where to find him. They

Notes of Fashion.
The pTincesse gown will be much
seen during the coming winter.
Owls are q fashionable trimming
for sailors and toques this winter.
Home-knit stockings are said tn
be correct for cycling and golf.
Velveteen for Russian blOuses and
for whole gowns as well as nantes,
has become very popular.
Stockings with white or colored
spots are fashionable. The gay
plaid ones are very popular.
Plain black satin skirts to wear
with fancy waists had better be
turned into petticoats or dress lin
ings, as their palmy days are past.
MOire silk or MORE poplin-especi-
ally the latter-is now at the top
notch of favor, when black skirt Is
allowable at all, but farsighted folks
who have the fashion instinct are
buying separate skirts very ginger
ly, and whole suits with jackets and
silk waists to correspond, without
hesitation.

Costumes for the Horse show.

shows are now nearly all completed,
and among them we find the most
advanced of all the leading styles,
for the gowns, coats and hats worn
at these functions really set the
fashion. Until the horse show is
over one is always in doubt as to
what will finally be settled upon.
To begin with mantles, coats and
furs, there is a long wrap made with
a yoke, square or pointed. This is
usually of fur, though in two cases
it was of rich black velvet, thickly
beaded in a superp design. The rest
of the garment Is laid in deep folds
from the yoke nearly to the bottom
Of the gown, all hanging loose from
the figure except the center of the
back, where it is shaped and fitted
under the plaits. The high storm

the yoke. The sleeves are large
coat shape, with deep cuffs. The
material In the coat varies. In some
cases it Is Of dark brocaded silk, in
others camel's hair, black or colored.
1t is also made in the basket weave
stuffs, and, in short, in almost any
of the fine wOOllen goods, with a
distinct preference toward brocades,
for there are some beautiful wool
broeades. These coats are richly
lined.

Here is a practical way in which
to clean feather bed ticking and to
air and renovate the feathers: Take
two sheets and sew them up so as to
form a case. Make an opening, say,
yard wide, in the tick, aud Il
second opening OF the same width in
the case made of the two sheets.
Sew these two openings together so
that they will not rip, and shake the
feathers out of the tick into the
clean sheet case. When the feathers
have all been emptied, sew up the
sheet case, separating it from the
tick, and put the feathers out on the
roof in the shade for an airing of
several days, turning the case every
day. Do not place it where the sun
will shine on the feathers, for it will
cause an oiliness to come out whic h
will make the feathers heavy and
will produce an unpleasant odor.
Have the original tick thoroughly
washed, rinsed and dried. Before
returning the feathers to it in the
same way in which they were re-
moved, hang the sheet case up for a
day, so the wind may blow through
the feathers. This will make them
light, and when returned to the
tick the feather bed will be as good
as new.-NeW York Tribune.

HOYT'S GIFT TO BRYAN.
Discovery of Forgotten Deeds Re-
calls an Interesting Incident of

Lincoln, Neb., July Hast summer,
when w. NJ. Hoyt of Chicago decided to

as a means of aiding him in his canvass,
there was quite flourish in the far east
ern papers over what was termed the
magnificent testimonial Mr.. Bryan
promptly accepted the gift, promised to
sell the property and devote the proceeds
to the Popocratic campaign fund. Yester-
day Mr.. Bryan's brother while rummag-
ing over a lot of old papers, relics of the
campaign, found the deeds and had them
recorded. The instrument reads:
This indenture witnesseth that the
grantors, William NJ. Hoyt and Emily J.

CIVIL SERVICE IN TOPEKA.

Civil service is bending like reed
under the pressure being brought to
bear at Washington by the office seek
ers' phalanx; but civil service has grown
popular and is growing more popular
every day. If the question of removing
the government employees from office
could be submitted to the people, it
would easily be proven that the people
are in favor of civil service.
1t is gratifying to see that Judge
Guthrie, though a veteran partisan, is
also progressive enough to realize that
the best Republicans do not want the
postoffice service turned topsy-turvy by
turning trained employees out and put
ting others in their places. The postof
fee doesn't belong to the party; it be-
longs to the people and they want it
run right" Nobody would stand the
turning out of Chief Wilmarth and all
his men because there had been a
change in party in this town No more
do they want the pOstoffice service
wrecked.

IS A DEATH TRAP.
Illness of the Governor of Georgia
Calls Attention to the Of
fcial Residence

Atlanta, Ca, July 17.-Governor Atkin-
sons illness has made public the fact that
the executive mansion is little better than
a death trap. The old house has a start
ling typhoid fever record.
Two children of General Gordon have
suffered from it while inmates, and the
wife and children of the present occupant
being now i'll from sickness caused by the
disgraceful sanitary equipment of the
mansion. 1t is necessary to use disinfect-
ants literally at all times to neutralize
sickening odors in the mansion, which are
due to inferior ventilation and poor
plumbing. 1t is proposed to sell the pres
ent structure and grounds and purchase
a handsome lot near the state capitol and
erect building commensurate with the
importance and greatness of Georgia. II
is feared that Governor Atkinson may be
suffering from incipient typhoid.

TOPEKA AND NEWTON ALL
RIGHT

A disgruntIed editor Ito use a fossil
szed word to apply to a fossilized per
sonage) at Newton is attacking the
Newton Republican, the best daily in
central Kansas because it booms the
Santa F'e celebration at Topeka. The
Republican gives space to the Santa Fe
celebration because it is read by nearly
all, if not all, the employees of the San
ia Fe road at Newton and they are in
terested in the matter. There is no
jealousy and can be no jealousy be-
tween the two cities. Topeka does not
hesitate to boom" Newton. The State
Journal was the first paper to publish
about Newton'S renewed and recent
growth and prosperity and has published
columns about it since, all of which
blooms that city and makes it grow.
Topeka is not afraid to boom Newton.

prosperity depends on the amount of
goods marketed as has sometimes been
urged. Never before have the exports
of merchandise been as large, reaching
over 1000 million dollars.
The imports also were larger, but
were less than those of the previous
year by $15, 900 notwithstanding the
great rush in anticipation of the new
tariff duties. The bulk of the importa-
ton made in anticipation of tariff
changes took place during the year re-
ferred to.
The exports exceeded the imports for
the year by $2S7, 613, 1856 and exceeded
those of any previous year by SIS, Oo0.-
900. Why then has there not been a
more marked condition of prosperity?
Two reasons stand out with sufficient
prominence to be easily observable. One
is that the proceeds of the sale of this
enormous expectation of merchandise
have gone very largely to pay interest,
dividends and profits in Europe, leav-
ing little to be returned to this country
in cash. Another is that prices have
been so low that there has been little or
no profit to the producers.
The latter phase of the question is
one of the inevitable results of the con-
traction of the money basis. One re-
suit OF the large expectation or mer-
chandise is that the amount of gold
sent abroad was only $40, 000, 900 as COM
pared with S112, Zoo, 600 the previous
year. When we don't pay Europe in
merchandise we must pay her in gold.
During the last fiscal year we have
paid in merchandise.
At the existing prices it has taken an
enormous quantity of the products of
labor to make up this difference of S72-
100000, paid in gold the previous year
but it has prevented another bond is
sue. In addition to this we sent Eur
Ope $61, 0000 900 in silver. This of course
went at the market price deprecated
like other prices.

BRADBURYS REUNITED.
All is Forgiven and They Will Meet

young California millionaire, who came
to Chicago to meet his erring wife, re-
ceiVed message at the Wellington no
tel today and after spending a moment
in the telephone closet came out with
a smile on his smooth, boyish face. He
brushed aside a number of newspaper
men, and hurrying up the street
sprang into a closed carriage and was
driven away. His wife was to reach
Chicago today.
The young millionaire, it is said, is
willing to forgive her elopement with
another man, and they are supposed to
have met at the home of some mutual
friend. He has rooms reserved at the
Wellington and the hotel people ex-
pect to see Mrs. Bradbury's name en-
tered upon the register any time.

LOVER LOOKS TO LAW.
Tilted Nebraskan Demands the Re-
turn of His Presents, Among
Which Are Costly Articles

Lincoln, Neb., July IA novel case has
developed as the result of a broken en-
gagement between two Lincoln society
people and embarrassing results are
promised.
The Tilted lover declares he will have
every one of the costly presents which he
has given the young woman during a two
years courtship.
The affair has all grown out of the en-
gagement announced yesterday of Miss
Grace Oakley, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
o. R. Oakley, and Joseph Walsh, an at
torney of Port Huron Mich. Miss Oakley
was one of the maids of honor at the
great AK Sar Ben ball last year. She is a
prominent society girl and her family is
among the first in the state.
1t seems that the printed announcement
of the engagement was the first intima-
ton to Harry Lansing, who thought he
was engaged to Miss Oakley, that the en-
gagement between himself and the young
woman had been declared off. Through
his father he Immediately made a de-
mand for sundry valuable and costly
presents which he had presented to Miss
Oakley during the last two years, but he
met with distinct refusal to produce
them. The presents are valued by him at
from $500 to 5000, and include, besides a
watch or two, an engagement ring and
other rings, some jeweled carriers and 9th
er things.
The demand of the young man through
his father for the return of his presents
was followed by a demand through an
attorney, who succeeded in securing a
souvenir clasp pin and an expensive man.

suit unless the other presents were pro-
duced, but the young woman limited that
