N-rrat many men throughout
the country, Including plenty OF
really swell fellows, have got it
into their heads, rightly or wrong
ly-and we are by no means sure
that it isn't right.y-that there Is
no reason why any man should
pay more than $500 10 $500 for
a pair of shoes, and to say the
least, the idea has this foundation
in reason, that excellent shoes are
now made for $500. To pay
$500 to $1,000 for Il pair of
shoes is simply throwing away
money, and in many cases this is
done to crafty n mistaken otion
hat mono but your favoritc shoe
maker is worthy to adorn your
feet. The recent improvements
in the machinery make itpossibIe,

PRINCE OF WALES sNuBseo
Miss Grace Thompson, an American Girl
Turns Albert Down

ST. Louis. Sept. 13.-Miss Grace
Thompson of St Louis is the prize Amer
lean girl, according to the story that has
floated across the ocean. Miss Thomp-
son, who is a daughter Of William B
Thompson, well-known st. Louis at
torney, has been spending the summer
In Europe. She is very attractive girl.
The Prince Of Wales took quite a fancy
to her and requested an introduction.
She suddenly left London and went to
Hamburg Then the prince decided he.
too. would like to visit Hamburg. and
let it be known incidentally that his
pleasure would be greatly augmented
IL Miss Thompson were presented to
him.
The result was that the day which
witnessed the arrival Of the prince at
Hamburg witnessed also the departure
of Miss Thompson, who took her way to
Iucerne. The snub to the prince by her
sudden departure was so pointed that
the social gossps OF the place could not
overlook IL. For a week tongues wagged
so freely that the prince decided to de-
part rather than face the ridicule.

CREDITORS OF RAMSAY.
Appellate Court Grants Rehearing i'm
Favor of Carlyle People.

Carlyle, Ills. Sept. 13.-The creditors
of the late State Treasurer Rufus n.
Ramsay were much encouraged Fri
day afternoon by a telegram received
from Mount Vernon stating that re-
hearing had been granted by the ap-
pellate court in the case of Witbeck
and others versus the depositors of the
Ramsay bank, which closed nearly three
years ago because of the death of the
proprietor. The demise of Ramsay dis
closed the fact that he was in debt TO
the state of Illinois to the extent of
nearly 100000. A portion of this was
collected by the Chicago bondsmen. The
balance, 1868, ,0o0 was paid by them and
a claim was filed for that amount
against the estate. which was allowed
In the county court.
The local creditors contested, as the
payment of this amount meant the
swallowing i.p of all their money in the
bank. The case was appealed TO the
circuit court and Judge Wall rendered
a decision in favor Of the Carlyle peo-
pie, holding that the sureties were
guilty of conspiracy. The Chicago par
ties appealed to the appellate court, and
the opinion of the lower court was re-
versed and the case remanded The
counsel for the depositors petitioned for
a rehearing, which has been granted
The success of the move is deemed ad-
vantageous to the interest of the local
creditors by the attorneys

Grewsome Scene at the Luetgert Murder
Trial at Chicago.

at
Chicago, Sept. 13.-Before the eyes Of
the jury rose in dim outlines Saturday
morning the spectral figure Of Mrs
Louise Luetgert. There was little tan
gible beyond a bit Of a bone from the
hand, a section Of a toe, a round erd
from a forearm bone and the head OF
a rib-such. at least, they were declared
10 be by Osteologists George Vincent
Bailey and Robert House. But as these
two men fitted the tiny bits into a hu-
man skeleton the jury could see in their
minds the figure OF a slender, delicate
woman. could picture her struggling
with her giant husband in the darkness
Of a deserted factory, yielding her life
al last. being carried head down the fac
tory stairs. thrown into bubbling vat,
and boiling in terrible fluid until all
that was left of her was few frag-
ments like the ones before them.
Such was the picture painted for the
jurors by the state. But far different
will be that of the defense From those
bits Of bone the defense builds up a
Great Dane dog, one Of the big, savage
animals which have prowled about the
Luetgert house and factory, playing
peaceably with the children when undis-
turbed. but bounding out threateningly
at the approach of a stranger. These
are the two pictures. The jury must
decide which is the correct one. 1t was
an exciting day in court. and, the state
believes, a bad one for the defendant
