points of excellence are.-
a long tapering waist,
-
gracefully curved back,
perfectly shaped and easy
fitting hips with the bust
and shoulder lines so pro-
portioned in each model
as to assure the greatest
advantage in appearance
while affording perfect
ease to the wearer.

ent models Of "Fasso"
corsets, a complete line of
each made from many
different fabrics.

OPINION OF CITY SOLICITOR.
The Consumer Cannot Sell Larkin's
Soap Without License. No
Tax on Agents,

The Consumer Cannot Sell Larkin's
Soap Without a License. No
Tax on Agents.
A number of grocers waited on Chief
of Police Dolan on Thursday night and
requested him to prohibit certain per-
sons from selling Larkin's soap which is
manufactured in Buffalo, N. Y, and by
which they were losing custom.
Chief Dolan placed the matter before
City Solicitor Henry G Conrad, and
yesterday morning received the follow.
ing
sale of Larkin's soap from door to door,
would say that it is clear to my mind
that no persons have right to sell soap
or any other article without first having
obtained license, either as merchant
or peddlar, and persons so doing would
undoubtedly be liable to prosecution
under the State laws"
Mr.. Conrad was absent from the city
last evening and as the opinion was not
altogether clear to several grocers, As
sistant City Solicitor Medford H. Cahoon
was interviewed in reference to the mat
ter.
Mr.. Cahoon said that for some time
past large number OF consumers in this
citv had been sending to the Larkin
Company for their soap in order to Sc
cure a premium which that firm had
offered.
AS soon as they had received the pre-
MUM the consumer would sell the soap
to the neighbors residing in the vicinity
and in this manner reimburse them
selves for the money they had sent the
company for the box of soap expressed
to them.
This, of course, came under the law of
peddling and such consumers can be
compelled to pay tax for disposing of
the soap in this manner.
Continuing, Mr.. Cahoon said the opin-
ion did not touch an agent of the firm in
any manner, shape or form, nor did it
conflict in any manIer with the decision
made in favor of agents by the opinion
of Justice Bradley, of the United States
Supreme Court.
An agent, Mr.. Cahoon said, still re.
tained the privileges given him under the
Interstate Commerce Laws by Justice
Bradley and as an agent of any manufac.
turing firm could dispose of such pro.
ducts without paying license.
In conclusion Mr.. Cahoon said the
opinion merely covered the wrong done
by the consumer and had nothing to dc
with the agent as "there was no tax or
agents.

DE LONE LETTER.
The Inside Of the Change Of
Methodist Preachers. ri l.
This is Said to Have Been Discovered il
an Indiscreet Letter by p, Pr. Line
Concerning DR.. y Cleveland,

The change in pastors in the Metho-
dist church came as a surprise to most
of our citizens, but while unexpected,
it did not surprise some Of the promi-
nent church members. From accounts
of the matter which have reached the
Free Press, purporting TO- give the
facts leading up to the change, it ap-
pears that DR.. Line is victim of q
DeLome letter. 81 ..-.. ~:
According to our information, DR..
Line, who exchanged churches last
September with DR.. Cleveland, who
went to Salina, Kansas. has been in
the letter writing business. Good
men have been undone in the past by
writing letters. The Mankato De
LONE is said to have written a per-
sonal letter to Presiding Elder Sweet,
of the Kansas district in which
Salina is the most desirable church.
This presiding elders time is said to
expire soon, and a good charge like
Salina is supposed to suit the aver
age preacher better than some little
prairie charge. But this is perhaps
foreign to the subject.
At any rate. Dr.Line is said to have
written to Elder Sweet about the
middle of last February a letter
in which DR.. Cleveland was turned
over in manner to suit the
queens taste. DR.. Cleveland's faults
and who does not have them?-were
held up in a lurid pen picture for the
gaze of the elder. The letter is said
to have gone to the very extreme and,
according to DR.. Cleveland's friends a
good deal beyond. The letter is said
to have been laid in due time before
the board of the Salina church,
which is said to have voted unani-
mously to take no notice of it. This
did not satisfy DR.. Cleveland, who is
said to have copied the letter and
sent the copy to Mankato friends,
who interested themselves to send
him a letter bearing numerous sig
natures of good men, denying the
statements made in the letter, or
some of them.
DR.. Lines letter is said to have
contained some statements which
could not have been very pleasing to
Presiding Elder Stafford. The letter,
if correctly reported, also appealed to
Elder Sweet to prevent DR.. Cleveland
being retained at Salina, If possible.
1t said that DR., Cleveland's church at
St, Paul and Mankato had been left
in bad condition, and that if he (Dr.
Line) had known half what he knows
now, he would not have turned his
church at Salina over to DR..
Cleveland. ~ ..
DR.. Line has returned to the city,
but will conclude his lecturing tour
before leaving next week for Union
City, Ind. He states that he first
knew of the proposed change when
he received dispatch Monday after
noon. He has an invalid sister at
Richmond, thirty five miles from
Union City, and says that he desires
to be nearer her than he is in Man
katO.
