HEIR TO MILLIONS.
A Young Man I'm Waterloo Comes
Into "a Vast Fortune from the
Estate of an Uncle.

Theodore G. /. Pierce, the adopted
son of w. w. Pierce, of Waterloo, re-
ceived a letter from attorneys at Port
land, Ore, which informs him that he
is heir to vast property in that state
and in Wisconsin. His fortune, II is
estimated, will reach $3,000,0O0.
Pierce's real name is Burnett. He is
81 years old. His mother died when
he was young and his father was killed
few years ago.
The property lie inherits consists of
1890 acres of land near Portland, Ore,
which comes to him from an uncle's
estate. A summer hotel renting for
$4,000 per year is on this land. The
Wisconsin property is located near
Madison and consists of 1900 acres
and a summer resort at Ellice.

In which Are Reelected some OF the
New Notions I'm Ladies'
Dress.

Hats that turn abruptly of the faces
are just now among the very fashion
able styles.
Many of the new coats have the re-
vers turned back and covered with
lace.
Extremely large white chenille dots
are seen on colored veilings.
Embroidered chiffons are being
much used for wells and hat trimmings.
Velvet collarettes are all the style.
They are as hot as rice pudding, but
women are so used to being uncom-
Portable in their dress that they don't
notice little thing like a velvet col
larette in August weather. This ac-
cessory is only worn with white serge
dresses or those made of heavy wash
fabrics. Pale gray, turquoise blue and
old pink are the leading colors, and
each collarette has narrow belt to
match, both being embellished with
steel nail heads. The belts are fas-
tened with steel buckles.
Women's black straw hats may be
given new lease of life by revarnish-
ing them, which really takes the place
of dyeing, using some black sealing
wax pounded into small pieces, and
over which enough methylated spirits
to dissolve it has been poured; then
mix thoroughly and apply with soft
brush to the hat, covering every crew
ice In the straw. Blue staw hats may
be frcshened in the same manner, us
Ing blue sealing wax.
Infants are wearing hosiery quite
as gay as that worn by their fashion
able fathers and mothers. Their little
half hose are brilliant in color and ex-
treme in design, and, ii Is said afford
the average youngster more amuse-
ment than the Understanding rattle.
Color, as n rule, is very artistically
considered this year, and even from
red, white and blue as key notes I'm
both dress and millinery, many pretty
variations are made. The genuine roy
al red is n brilliant scarlet, but the
shade which appears conspicuously in
fashionable gowning is like velvet
petaled geranium blossom.
Sheer white lawn blouses will be
very fashionable this summer. They
may be in serpentine form with long
ends or follow the conventional lines
of the blouse, with fitted back and
deep yoke, formed OF alternate rows
of fine linen lace insertion and strips
OF embroidered lawn. Other waists
for morning wear are made Of the
French zephyrs woven on Scotch
looms. They come this year in exceed
ingly pretty patterns and colors, and
the corded and tpfted zephyrs are first
choice.--Boston Budget.

A FIEND INCARNATE.
Allamakee County Is Captured
and Put In Jail.

James Sullivan, wanted for four
years by the authorities of Allamakee
county, has been captured and taken
to Waukon. Sullivan is an incarnate
fiend and has seven indictments hang
ing over him. Two of these inGkct-
ments charge him with incest, the vic
Tins being his two sisters, who, at the
time the indictments were returned,
were aged Is and IL years.
The parents of the Sullivans have
been dead for some years and the two
girls had no one to properly care for
them. They lived with their brother
in Waukon. Not until the older girl
was in delicate condition did their
brothers crime become known. The
girl, when persuaded into revealing
the identity of tho author of her ruin
named her brother as the guilty one
Then all the facts became known and
the horrible tale included the younger
sister as his victim also. The inhuman
brother disappeared when his crimes
became known and until now had sue
cessfully eluded all efforts to locate
his whereabouts. The elder girl gave
birth to a baby girl, which is still liv-

CURED BY PRAYER.
Crippled Woman I'm Webster City
Walks for tho First Time
I'm Twelve Years.

For IL years Mrs. William Suther-
land, of Webster City, has been Grip
pied and unable to walk. She had been
treated by the best physicians of the
state without avail. Her husband re-
Gently interested her in the case of
Mrs. Van Syke, also of that city, who
was reported as cured of like malady
by Chicago faith cure" healers, and
a week ago she received word from
them that they would pray for her.
Another message came that prayers
would take place for her recovery at
certain hour, and suggesting that
she have friends pray with her at
home. The house was surrounded at
ten o'clock and ten minutes later
shouts from the inside notified the
waiting crowd that something unusual
had happened. Describing her feel
ings afterward, Mrs. Sutherland said
she felt thrill pass through her body
as soon as the prayers commenced and
that she had all she could do to keep
from attempting to raise to her feet
long before she did. She now walks
easily, and says she feels not the
slightest pain.
Many claim it was the excitement
and her determination that effected
the cure, but Mrs. Sutherland insists
it was the efficacy of prayer.

THE NEW HONEYMOON.
Neither Bride Nor Groom Knows I'm
Advance Where Ii In to
lie spent.

Honeymoons change with the fash
Ion as well as other wedding customs.
Once upon time the turtle doves went
IN long trip, visiting cities that they
perhaps had never seen before or
never hoped to see again. For the last
five or six years cruise on n yacht or
a journey in private car alternated
with a sojourn at somebody's beauti-
full country place lent for the occa-
sion. But the very newest plan for q
honeymoon sounds more interesting
than any of it's predecessors. The
newly-mad" benedict tells his best
man how long time he may absent
himself from town or business, gives
him check for generous amount
and tells him to arrange the rest.
Neither he nor the bride knows where
their honeymoon is to be passed, until
they are on the ship or train, as the
best man accompanies them to the sta
ton or wharf, checks their trunks and
hands the bridegroom the tickets only
at the last moment. When this is done
the happy man opens an envelope,
finds his route all laid out for him, and
Is saved the annoyance of telegraphing
to hotels and arranging minor details.
'"The plan is an awfully good one in
some ways" said wife of five weeks.
who, of course, speaks as if she had
spent her life trying the different
sorts of wedding tours. "Flying about
sightseeing is absurd when you have
eyes and thoughts for one person only.
and staying in the country is apt to
be dull and damp IL one is married i'm
April or very early in June. The one
disadvantage of the secret honeymoon
is that the poor bride does not know
what to wear. The best man ought to
give her hint as to whether the
Rangcley lakes or the Keys of Florida
are to be her destination. Our honey
moon was spent up in Pike county, a
heaven on earth in the mountains. We
lived at n delightful club house and
spent our days rambling in the woods
and fishing. / had brought several
pretty thin frocks, but only my trav-
cling dress for day wear, as we were
only to remain away ten days. You
can imagine my plight when | found
that fishing was the order of the day.
I sacrificed the travelling dress. 1t
was beauty, and cost more than my
white ball dress, but one is bride only
once, and had to enjoy my honey
moon. But If that tactless best man
had only warned me that would need
short skirt and high boots, what a
weight of worry he would have spared
me!"-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

johnson Brigham, state librarian,
has just returned from New York,
where he attended the national con-
vention of librarians. He has come
home with good many new ideas
about library work, which he will put
into operation in the state library.
One thing he intends to do is to
broaden the scope, and thus extend the
usefulness, of the travelling library.
1t is likely some small libraries will be
made up, and where clubs are pursu-
ing special line of study they will be
provided with such books as they want
and will not be limited to Libraries Of
so books, such as are now made up.
The law gives the travelling library
$4,000 year with which to purchase
books, and with this amount a great
deal of good can be done If the money
is used to the best advantage. Mr..
Brigham has great confidence in the
future usefulness of the travelling Ii
brary and he intends to devote his best
attention to developing it.
