THE counts against Luetgert in
the case now being tried at Chicago
would clearly prove that his wife
was most thoroughly murdered.
They are as follows: That the
women was drowned six separate
and distinct times in a vat contain
ing water and caustic soda or pot
ash. That of itself would entitle
the women to place at the curio
list. Not satisfied with this treat
ment Luetgert then struck his
better-half with a blunt instrument
and knocked her down, and then
he struck and instantly killed her.
He took brief rest and then
struck the women with some
deadly instrument and followed
this up stabbing her with knife.
After enjoying cigarette he re-
sumed the killing and choked his
wife to death and the twelfth count
of the charges that he then took
women's life by some means un-

night between twelve o'clock and
daylight. If Mrs. Luetgert is
dead it is just as reason able to sup
pose that she was grieved at having
dropped her jewelry in the vat and
pounded herself with a croquet
mallet, then shot herself in the
back with buck shot and ate what

Eedspreads come in all the delicate

most desirable, because the best to
launder. Cottage quilts are gay weav-

the contrary, however. Experience
shows that it is much more comfort
able than being squeezed and smotn-
cred in the arms of his mistress or her
maid, no matter how carefully they try
to move him about.
Moreover, since the harness is no inn

his feet, a chain can be attached 10 the
handle and the little animal led along
as easily as if he had no harness on at
all
All sorts Of dogs that are small
enough for pets arc carried in this
fashion. The new style is very popular
among all the young women who own
dogs, but the style is NOT limited 10 the
younger members Of the smart set.
The matron and the dowager also fol-
low it with scrupulous care.
For the winter season the carrying
harness and the blanket are combined.
As rule, the blanket is of corduroy,
and keeps the shivering pet as warm as
his mistress in her furs. In color, the
blanket is generally red, and it is a
comical sight to see this red blanketed
and behandled creature trailing along
ut the side Of his mistress as she walks
down the street, or hanging Imply
from the blanket harness as it depends
from the lady's hand.
Prices of the carrying harness and
blanket vary considerably, ranging
from five to forty dollars each. Some
times the leather and the blanket are
embroidered with silver, and occasion-
ally gold ornamentation- glitters on the
combination. Combine the gold col
lar set with diamonds. and the gold and
silver ornamented carrying harness and
blanket, and the result makes the pam
pered dog of fashion almost as conspic-
nous an object as his pretty and richly
dressed mistress.
Upon stormy days. when his mistress
desires to give the small arlstocrat an
airing she can carry him in a newly
invented satchel which answers the
purpose admirably. 1t is rounded in
form. opens at one side, and at one end
the leather is upon hinges and can be
let entirely down or partially so. as may
be desired.
When this is done, a net work of
leather or sometimes silver wire is re-
yealed, permitting the occupant of the
queer looking satchel to breathe all the
fresh air it dasires-N Y Herald

when the king called attention to the

with the same purpose-to devour it. y
