Paris, Oct. 1.-The fiat has gone forth
that the high, stiffened stock and the
linen collar must go. This will be dis
tinct disappointment To the thousands
who have found the linen collar a use-
full auxiliary TO the toilet. Nothing
seems to SO freshen up a dark dress or
waist or add to the general smartness
Of any garment as the stiff, Immaculate
white collar and tie or the trig. well set
up stock Of silk or lace with the thick
foundation of stiffening.
The reason for the Punishment OF stiff
collars is that women are finding that
their necks suffer from wearing them.
Not one woman out OF ten who con-
stantly wears stiff collar can afford to
appear in a low necked evening gown.
With every additional collar or stock
that is donned the danger OF entire de-
struction of the beauty OF the neck
grows.
The canvas lined stocks not only
wrinkle the neck, but dscolor IL, and
are therefore. though apparently much
more innocent looking than the collars
really twice as deadly.
Stiff collars have added ten years at
least to the necks OF the women who
have been wearing them for the last
couple OF seasons. Beauty specialists
and masseurs are already reaping their
harvest from the frightened women who
have been devoted 10 them. In order to
make radical improvement IL IL OF
course necessary to remove the cause
or injury, and now the collars and
stocks are to be banished
Very nice are some OF the new collars
that are replacing the high stiff ones.
They are. moreover, TO be worn with
low collar bands. Some are of silk
trimmed with insertions. They have
deep points standing out at the sides
with the ends in the back crossed over

the waist, where they are tied TO form

new waists consist merely OF tucked or

kind should be worn. Sailor collars

General Manager Bancroft and Gen.
eral Superintendent Calvin of the Short
Line returned from the north yesterday,
where they went to confer with the
people of Boise. Ida. concerning the
running of the main line through that
place Division Superintendent Van
Housen accompanied the general man
ager and his lieutenant
committee of citizens met the party
as soon as the members arrived, and
an interview was had which was highly
satisfactory TO the people of Boise. ac-
cording 10 the statements made The
subject was gone over very thoroughly
and after the debate ended il was stated
that the Boise folks feel they will not
be sighted in the matter if il is pos
sible for the railroad people to do any
thing.
According to an agreement made the
Boise folks are TO put a surveying
party in the field for the purpose of
securing needed data. and the same has
been ordered. c. c. Stevenson of Boise
has charge. and the results of his work
will be forwarded to this city to ]. c.
O'Melveny. the chief engineer of the
road. for approval.
But little can be learned of the mat
ter here, but what is said is TO the eff
feet that the line will be changed if all
arrangements are satisfactory to the
management.
Boise is off the main line of the road,
and it is proposed to build the same
through the city, beginning at a point
eastward and running through the
place, returning to the old line at a
point further westward.
Nothing definite will be done until
after the Boise engineers shall have
submitted their report TO the manage
ment of the Short Line.

Mrs. Mary Hamilton, mother of the
John H. Hamilton. who was killed I'M
der circumstances familiar to the
public, yesterday filed in the probate
division of the Third district court an
answer to the petition of Mrs. Lon
Hamilton, widow of the deceased. who
asked to be appointed Administrative
of her dead husbands estate. The
mother of the deceased charges that
Mrs. Lou Hamilton killed her husband !;
that for seven weeks before the said
John H. Hamilton, decedent herein,
died, he was living separate from the
petitioner Lou Hamilton, because the
petitioner, Lou Hamilton, had violated
her marriage vows by committing adul-
terry, and had confessed to the said de-
cedent that she, said petitioner, had so
violated her marriage VOWS, and had
been unfaithful to the decedent.
THAT on the 18th day of April, 1897,
when the said John H. Hamilton died,
he was killed by the petitioner, Lou
Hamilton.
That the petitioner. Lou Hamilton,
is the very last person to whom the
decedent- would have wished to en-
trust the administration of his estate"
1t is then alleged that the deceased
did not have any household goods, and
that he left no will; also that Hamilton
left surviving him, Lou Hamilton, the
widow, and Mary Hamilton, the
mother. and that said John H. Hamil-
ton lost his life at the hands of the
petitioner, Lou Hamilton. In conclu
sion it is alleged that the deceased left
$3.50 in the bank. gold watch, chain
and charm, valued at $50, and some
clothing of the aggregate value of
1925, and it is prayed that Mrs. Lou
Hamiltons petition to be appointed adj
ministratrix be denied, and that Mary
Hamilton, sister of the deceased, be APP
pointed to perform that duty.
Messrs. Moyle, Zane & Costigan are
the attorneys for Hamiltons mother.
Mrs. Lou Hamilton was tried before
Judge Norrell for. the murder of her
husband and was acquitted. The facts
of the case are so fresh in the mind
of the public that further statement
of the case is unnecessary.

Provo, uril 1.-The trustees of all
the school di stricts in Utah county met
in Provo tod; ny, in conformity with re-
quest made by County Superintendent
James L. E;rown. The meeting was
held in the Parker school house, and
was larg ely attended. The object of the
meeting, as stated by Superintendent
Brown. was. to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY
ot forming some kind of an association,
through watch the several school dis
tricts OF ne county could arrange for
the Durch ase Of school supplies. The
benefits so ught to be realized from such
an organic lion were stated TO be, first.

other e. EDUCATIONAL paraphernalia.
throughout the several school districts
of the count y; second, by purchasing in
large qual ltities and through one
agency, to reduce the cost of school
supplies.
The quest ion was discussed freely,
and it was finally decided to appoint
committee, consisting of the county
superintendent of schools. who is to be
chairman. ard the chairmen of the
school boards from the following
towns: Lehi, Pleasant Grove, Spring
vile, Spanish Fork, Payson and San
taouin. The duties of the committee
will be to negctiate all contracts for
ScEQO1 IUrnlSIE1,SS, ana To ADVISE with
the different boards of trustees as to
what purchases should be made. 1t is
thought that by this mean rs the ends
sought viii be attained, that is, uni
.formity of school equipment and a re-
DUCT on of the cost of school supplies.
The Chairmen of the school boards of
the towns named above, together with
the county superintendent, will be ex-
officio members of the committee.
In the afternoon an able and instruc-
tive lect ure upon. the relation of the
board of trustees to the pupils and par
ents of the district. was delivered b.
Professor Brimhall of the Brigham
Young AGA deny. The profe ssor called
attention to the great Importance of a
school boards trust, and stated that in
this, above all trusts, the interests of
the beneficisTies should be guarded
with the utm ost diligence and conScien-
tiOusness. Mr.. Brown, since his ap-
pointment, has shown himself to be
eminently qualified for his position. and
the school management throughout the
county appear to be enthusiastic over
the progress made in educational mat
tiers during the present school year.

FOR MALICIOUS PROSECUTION.
Pioneer Settlers Are Principals In a
Peculiar Case.

Varnal, March 3O.-The damage cases
of Yarnell VS.. Kabell came up in the
district court today. The most of the
forenoon was consumed in securing a
jury. That being accomplished, the
balance of the day was consumed in
taking evidence. The case was not con-
cluded when court adjourned, and will
he continued again in the morning. The
case is a sequel - another case which
was tried here at the last November
term of court, in which Yarneil' was
charged with defacing marks and
brands. In that case the jury return
ed d verdict of not guilty, and Yarnell
now sues for damages, alleging mali
cious prosecution and defamation of
character. The nature of the case
makes it necessary to go into the de-
tails of the alleged larceny, and the
evidence today has disclosed some
things that have raised the question in
the minds of a great many whether it
will be ended with the present pro-
ceedings
Judge Rhodes is counsel for the
plaintiff, and arrayed against him for
the defendant is S. r. Thurman and
d. D. Houtz. The matter seems TO be
attracting considerable attention, as
both parties are early settlers and
prominent in the community.

SUPREME COURT OPINION.
District Court Affirmed In Case of
Hammer VS.. Bloch.


Hammer VS.. Bloch.
The Judgment of the district court
was yesterday affirmed by the supreme
court in the case of John H. Hammer
VS.. B. K. Bloch e Co.. appellants, in
an opinion written by Chief Justice
Zane and concurred in by Justices
Bartch and Miner.
The defendant obtained a judgment
in the district court against the firm of
Blackburn & CO. for $366.2S. The plain
tiff, Hammer, was one of the members
of the firm of Blackburn & Co, and
judgment was obtained against the in
dividual members of the firm as well
as against the firm, and Hammers in
dividual property, to the extent of
$242S5. was levied upon. Hammer then
instituted an action in a Justices court
for trespass against the officer who
levied the execution, and judgment was
rendered against the officer for S242. So,
which ruling was affirmed by the dis
trict court, but on appeal to the su-
preme court the Judgment of the dis
trict court was reversed because the
writ was against the plaintiff, as well
as the company, and was fair on its
face, and, therefore, protected him
from damages in consequence of the
wrong.
AnOInST JI1dI was ndu, at WHICH the
district court allowed the complaint to
be amended by making B. K. Bloch &
Co. the plaintiff in the first suit, de-
PENDANT, and afterwards the suit was
dismissed on motion of the plaintiff,
as to the officer, Ballantyne, and there
upon B. K. Bloch & Co. entered a mo-
ton to dismiss the suit entirely upon
the ground that the voluntary dismissal
as TO the only defendant in the Justices
court deprived the court of jurisdiction
to try the case. contending that the
jurisdiction of the district court de-
pended upon the Jurisdiction of the JUS
tice.
The supreme court held that this con-
tention would have been valid had
there been a want of jurisdiction of the
subject matter of the suit in the JUS
tees court. but there wasn't, and the
dismissal of the suit against the officer,
Ballantyne. did not deprive the appel
late court of jurisdiction of the case or
of the party who brought in. The dis
trict court overruled the motion to dis
miss and gave judgment against Bloch
for the sum of S242.S5, which was now
affirmed
