Jeltz Bound Over.

In Justice Ogle's court Monday an
indictment was found against VIM
Jeltz, the negro, for stabbing Hilton,
the white man, and Jeltz was bound
over to the next term of court to await
trial. In the preliminary examination
the defence did not offer to produce
any evidence, and the evidence of the
prosecution is practically all circum-
stantial.
The latest from Hilton, just before
we go to press, is that he has ftful
fevers. has trouble to retain anything
on his stomach and does not show i'm
provement the physicians hoped for.

The call is out for a populist judi
cial convention, to nominate a judge
for this district, Barton, Rice and
Stafford counties) to be held at Film
WOOD June 10Th. With populist
candidate, democrat candidate and
a republican IN the field in this dis
district it looks as though the repub-
lican would have puddin'. We hard
ly believe that the populists of this
district will persist In dividing the
free silver forces by a middle-of-the"
road policy, though it looks little
that way at the present time. Ii a
free silver candidate for Judge is to be
named it looks as though it would be
but Justice and fairness to give all ele-
menrs a voice in naming him.

SECRETARY GAGE, of the U. 3.
treasury, announces that the green
backs must be retired and national
bank currency substituted. He has
already retired $50, 100000 of green
backs, and contracted the currency
that much. 1t appears as though
some people believe that the common
masses have no need of money-it is
intended only for the privileged few.

The commissioners, as a board of
equalization, have good opportunity
TO learn the hypecracy of some people.
For Instance, one man swore TO per-
sonal property statement in which his
piano, which cost near 81 600 some
time since. was given in st S25 assessa-
Bile valuation, while other pianos in the
city are assessed at $50 to $10O-sup-
posed one third their actual.value. It
would seem there are various ways of
making, and keeping. money. We be-,
lieve however that the man who makes
it honestly, whether he makes public
profession of christianity or not, will
stand in with old st. Peter at the
pearly gate while the hypocrite will be
told to mosey down below.

ACCORDING to the reports filed with
the probate judge of Shawnee county,
the Topeka drug stores had 1857 sales
# prohibited iquors-in Topeka
for the month of May, an increase of
lob sales over the month of April
when there were more open joints rum

One always has to 60 away from
home to hear the news. We CLEAN
from the esteemed DEMOCRAT and Reg
lister that the receipt of the intelligence
of the appointment of a new post
master here Tuesday of last week was
followed by celebration, conveying
the insinuation that the victors had
what the boys call "high old time. .
-Ellinwood Leader.
AS THE DEMOCRAT stated, Mr.. V.
s. Musil was our authority for the
statement that the Ellinwood people
celebrated" the event in question
and we know Mr.. Musll would not
misrepresent the matter. Bro. Cooke
need not be 80 ''ti.., about a small
statement of facts who. he seems to
think ought to be suppressed.

It appears that the movement among
a few farmers of tn is vicinity to start
cooperative creamery business has
been dropped We believe it is well
that such is the case. While it is not
doubted that a CO operative creamery
could be made successful and profitable
to the farmers, it is not thought there
are enough farmers with cows suffis
Gent to supply milk to another cream
cry at Great Bend and who have money
at hand to put into such a plant, or are
willing to assume cost of same. We
believe the present creamery will give
all fair treatment and fill all present
demands.

that come during the summer months to

inches shorter than the ordinary infants

one mother I know had all Of her babys
clothes made short because it was a June
baby, and she didn't like the idea Of its
being encountered with long garments dur
ing the hot July and August weather.
The wraps that very young babies wear
are made Of SILK or pale shades of light
weight cashmere.
There is a charming variety in the toilet
Of the young children. They come to the
parks in the mornings in their pretty light
pique coats, and when the sun begins to
shine ia full force they dof their coats
and play in their attractive little frocks
that are made of all sorts of wash fab
RIGS.
A sweet little coat I saw on little arl
Of 3 was made of pale pink pique. 1t was
made with three fiat box plaits back and
front that came from the neck. Between
the plaits were strips of Irish point The
collar was a small turnover collar, cover
ed with Irish point, and the little coat
sleeves were finished with small pointed
cuffs of the Irish point.

children that are not what you call the
wash variety"
The idea of a child in soiled gown is
not a pretty one. but, on the other hand,
by careful planning, childrenS sumner
dresses can be made so that they do not
need their daily duck in the tub. Winter
dresses do not wash and on the same
principle the little summer robes can be
planned so that they do not need the eter-
nal scrubbing necessary for cslicoes and
glnghams.
Take pique, for instance. It is a stiff
material and does not catch the dirt.
Unless a child makes mud pies in it or
rolls over on the grass, pique dress will
keep clean several days.
The seamstresses in Paris, or those who
assist at the home in odd jobs, have sew
eras things for cleaning dresses without
washing them. They rub mixture OF
magnesia and powdered chalk upon the
dirty spots of the little white pique dresses
and after leaving it there over night brush
it off often carrying away the dirt with
it. There are also liquid preparations Tor
taking spots out of dresses.
There is a process called dry cleaning.
1t is applied to very nice dresses for chill
dren and with great success. This dry"
cleaning is said to be nothing more nor
less than gasoline. The goods are washed
as though they were a. piece of sOiled lin
en-. The trouble, however, is that gasoline
is very inhammable, and often the mere
rubbing of the parts together win ignite
it, causing an accident. Those who know
how to use these inhammable substances
achieve very nice results by dipping the
dresses in them and carefully touching
the spots. OF course, it does not in any
way mark the goods.
After the washing is done the dress
must be carefully irOned and the result,
when completed, is very good
Kid gloves are often cleaned in this
way and the same process applied more
carefully to little dresses can be very nice
ly carried out.
But, after all, the wash dress is the
prettiest for the child, and the little ging-
hams with silk stripe running through,
and the cambrics, with their design of
lace, are so charming for the little tots
that one can, after ALL forgive the daily
washing which is part of the penalty of
dressing a child prettily for the summer
