MRS. M'KINLEY's GOWNS.
Her Inaugural Wardrobe Completed
and Now in Canton.

Her Inaugural Wardrobe Completed
and Now in Canton.
The inaugural wardrobe of Mrs. Will
liam Mckinley, preparations for which
have been the subject of two visits to
Chicago on the part of the coming first
lady of the land, is completed. They
consist Of ten rich costumes of satin
velvet and silver cloth, and were
shipped from that city to the Mckinley
home at Canton, Ohio. The costumes
to be worn on inaugural and state oc-
casions will be among the most mag
nificent ever displayed in Washington
society. The cost of the costumes will
be between eight and ten thousand dol
lars They are pronounced by those
who have viewed them to be among the
best creations of the art of dress max
ing that have yet been attained in this
country. The gown to be worn at the
inauguration is especially handsome.
The material is what is known 2s cloth
of silver. The ground work is of white
satin heavily woven with silver thread
in a conventionalized lily design. The
train. which is plain, full and sweep
ing, measures two and o half yards in
length. On the left side it is open over
a panel of seed pearls embroidered on
satin. beginning at the bottom is
hounce of Venetian point lace of a
snecial and beautiful design, a half
ward in width, which is cascaded mar
row at the bottom and gradually
widens toward the top until it is eX-
tended its full width over the top and
out to the back, where it is partly con-
cealed under the full train. The right
side of the skirt is also slashed open
half way UP, and under that is an en-
broidered petticoat Of pearls. The bod
ice is tiEht-ftting and slightly pointed
front and back. The lower part is OF
silver cloth, and the upper and back OF
nearls. The same beautiful lace that
&c used in the fiOunce is fastened at the
waist line into a narrow point and is
draped wider towards the shoulders in
q V-shape. The collar is of pearl en-
broidered satin, and from it is high
Medici collar of the lace. The sleeves
are long and fairly tight and are fin
tshed at the wrist with Vandyke effect
embroidered at the edge, from which
they fall from narrow lace of the same
design as that on the skirt. With this
gown Mrs Mckinley wears number
of diamonds to fasten the lace on the
front of her gown, the landsomest be-
ing a diamond star and sunburst OF
unusual brilIiancy. The lining of this
beautiful gown is of white satin, heavy
and rich Around the bottom and side
are a half dozen ruffles to give a full
effect The lace which is used was
made especially for the establishment
where the gown was designed. 1t is al
most priceless in value, the whole pat
tern being purchased by Mrs. Mckin-
ley.

JEFFERSON'S INAUGURATION,
No Inauguration myth has been more
tenacious of life than that which pie
tured Jefferson, attired as a plain citi-
zen, riding on horseback to the Capitol,
hitching his horse to the pallngs and
walking unattended into the senate
chamber to take the oath as president,
To have done this would have been in
accordance with his previous utter
ances, for he had strongly condemned
as savorlng of monarchy all public GER
emony at the swearing in of q presi-
dent. When the time for his own inau-
guration arrived, however, the case
seems to have looked different to MIN.
Whether it was because he was to be
the first president naugurated at the
new Capitol or because Of an unwilling
ness to disappoint the large numbers of
his friends and partisans who had as
sembled to honor him, is not clear; but
the fact is that he did permit consid-
cradle display at the ceremonies. He
was met at the door Of his boarding
house, which was only a stones throw
from the Capitol, by a militia artillery
company and procession of citizens,
and, escorted by these, he went on foot
to the Capitol.
The horseback story or fake" as it
would be denominated in modern jour
nalism. was the invention of an Eng
lishman named John Davis, who put it
in a book of American travels, which he
published in London two years later
In order to give it an air of truthful
ness Davis declared that he was pres
ent at the Inauguration, which was not
true, A Veracious account of the cere-
monies was sent to England by EdWarI
Thornton, who was then in charge Of
the English legation at Washington;
and in this Jefferson was described as
having walked to the Capitol. Thesa
facts, together with a great mass of in
teresting matter about Jefferson's inau-
guration, are set forth in detail by
Henry Adams in his History of the
United States, and leave no doubt
that the Davis version was a pure fab
rication.-Century.

Terrible State of Affairs in a North
Dakota Settlement.
Grand Forks, N. D., Special.-Dr.
Flaten, state superintendent of health,
has returend from Emmons and Nc
Intosh counties, in the southwestern
part of the state, on the Missouri river,
where a serious epidemic of diphtheria
has ragged among the settlers, chiefly
Russian immigrants The disease is
now under control though it was with
the greatest difficulty that the state SUI
Eerintendent and his assistants so far
succeeded in combating the customs
Of the people as to give them the very
slightest opportunity at the disease.
The locality is far from any railroad,
and DR.. Flaten had to drive 10 miles
to reach the most distant points in the
infected district
The number of deaths, all within
three weeks, was thirty-nine. The
number of cases is estimated at nearly
300. The disease was brought into the
neighborhood through a family of Rus
sian immigrants who came by way of
Aberdeen. Had the inhabitants been
allowed to continue in their own ways,
Ill C1C CI1lluICA WOulu HAVE
eventually fallen prey to the disease.
feature of the epidemic that has
made it difficult for the board of health
to combat the disease is the apparent
Indifference of the people. They are
fatalists, and have no use whatever for
doctors, and there is not physician in
either Mcintosh or Emmons counties,
with an aggregate population of about
5000 and an area of $500 square miles.
The state superintendent sent physi-
clans among them, however, and by es-
tablishing guarantees and heroic eff
forts otherwise, and impeded in every
way by the ignorant and superstitious
settlers, the disease was prevented
from spreading farther.
The two cases of leprosy recently
discovered in Walsh county will be
isolated. The older of the two unfor-
tunate victims is about As years of age
and has a wife and six children. He
has had the disease now about four
years. The other victim, a young man
of % years, had had symptoms Of the
disease only about a year. The cases
in this country are all foreigners, and
there is no case on record where the
disease has been transmitted by con-
tact with any one in this country.

ParamOur of a Faith1ess Wife Fired
at by the Injured Husband.
Bayfield,, Wis, Special.-A sensation
al shooting ARRAY occurred here in
which an erring wife, an injured hus-
band and a young man of the town
were concerned. The suspicious of the
husband had beer aroused that his
wife and the young man were too in
innate. He discovered that when the
lamp in the woman's bed room was
turned low it indicated to the watcher
outside that all was clear. The man
would then climb up the front porch
and enter the forbidden room. Last
night the husband watched. Quietly
descending he noted the lamp was
turned low, and it was only short
time until the form of the suspected
II an was seen. As he got to the porch
the husband challenged him, and re-
ceiving no satisfactory answered, fired,
but missed his mark. The woman left
for her mothers home this morning,
while the husband will commence di-
Vorce proceedings.

the family went to the hay field and
found the body. The doctor called dis

on his head, and it is supposed that the
team gave a jump, throwing Black in
front of the rake and behind the
horses one of the horses kicking him
directly on top of the head, causing
conclusion of the brain and killing him
instantly.

Ready for harvesting.

Pembina, N. D., Specialize rates
of the last forty-eight hours will pre-
vent farmers from harvesting for some
days, and in many places the land will
be too wet for horses to travel on it
and haul binder. The present weath@
er has discouraged the farmers, but
if dry weather sets in at once there
will be no very serious damage done
to crops. Mostly all farmers in the
northern part of this county would be
cutting wheat on this date, and few
would have commenced before had 1t
not been for the rains.

Madison, Wis, Special.-The legis-
lature has convened in adjourned SEES
sion for the purpose of receiving the
report of the special committee APP
pointed to revise the statutes. After
brief sessions of both house, at which
nothing important was done, the Re
publican members, who are in an over
whelming majority, held a caucus to
consider the matter Of taking up new
business. The caucus broke up in con-
fusion after an hours debate. The
members had hoped for Il short ses-
sion, but the committees report is
voluminous and some of the amend
ments SO radical that they cannot be
passed without debate. The general
impression is that an adjournment will
be taken and that another special will
be called by Gov. Scofield. Gov.
ScOtield sent in several yntoes.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Special.-The
nomination of the Hon. l.. NJ. Shaw of
Crawford county as the Standard
bearer of the Hawkeye Republicans in
the coming campaign ended one of the
most protracted and interesting con-
tests in the history of Iowa politics.
Almost a dozen active candidates for
the gubernatorial nomination were in
the field, but most of them dropped out
one by one, Mr.. Shaw gaining on each
withdrawal until four ballots had been
taken. when the nomination was made
unanimous. There were spirited but
short-lived contests over the other Of
fees, and after the adoption without a
dissenting vote of the report of the
committee on resolutions the cOnVen-
ton adjourned sine die. The balance
of the ticket was completed as follows:
Lieutenant governor, j. c.. Millman of

Waterman of Scott county; railroad

jOurn Saturday.
Madison, Wis, Special-The second
day of the adjourned session of the
state legislature opened with an air
of uncertainty. Brief sessions were
held in the forenoon by both houses,
and three vetoes of the governor were
overridden, one providing for better
sanitation in bakeries in opposition to
his wish and two providing for tax
of 1 per cent on sleeping car and eX-
press companies to correct technical
ity i'll their passage last spring making
them legal. In the afternoon a confer
ence of the revising committees Of
both houses was held to explain and
discuss the various amendments pro-
posed, which numbered 107. Both
houses held brief sessions this even
ing, but nothing of Importance was
done, save in the assembly, where the
vote by which the governors veto OF
the bill to provide for better SANTA
ton of bakeries, which veto was sus-
tanned at the morning session, was re-
considered and the bill passed by
two-thirds majority. Adjournment was
then taken. The general impression
now is that adjournment will be taken
on Saturday.

Passes the Senate.
Madison, Wis, Special.-In the sem
ate the assembly, having concurred in
the senate resolution for suspension Of
the rules, the revision of the statutes
as amended was passed by a unani-
nous vote. The most important
amendment declares hydrant pipes,

passed. The assembly voted to recall
the bakeries bill, providing for cleanli-
ness of bakeries, from the senate for
reconsideration. The senate resolu-
ton authorizing the governor to take
