One Assailant Captured.

At Fond du Lac last Wednesday a
young man giving his name as George
McCarroll was arrested on suspicion
of being one of the assailants of the
Thoson family in Concord the week
previous. He was taken to Jefferson
and is now behind the bars of the
county jail. McCarroll, also known
as McDougal, is only 21 years of age
and he says he was led into the Tho
son assault while intoxicated by his
partner, Billy Bennett, who has made
good his escape. Bennett is an old
time crook and dangerous character.
Officers all over the state are on the
lookout for him.
1t appears that McCarr oil is rather
communicative youth. but it is not
everybody who is willing to believe
all he has to say. However, he has
confided in Sheriff Jaehnke to a con-
siderable extent, and as result it is
reported that that vigilant official is
now securing the country in search of
the desperate gang who few weeks
ago held up Northwestern train near
De Kalb, ILL.,, and secured a. large
booty. The prisoner told the sheriff
that he was we'll acquainted with the
train robbers and that they were with
him at Fond du Lac just previous to
his arrest. A reward of S., 900 is Of
fered for the gangs capture, and
Sheriff Jaehnke, enlightened by Nc
Carroll's information, is after the men,
it is said, in dead earnest. Well,
everybody trusts he will succeed in
his mission and secure the large re-

Waterworks System at the Asylum,

The citizens of Jefferson county
may we'll feel proud of their insane asy-
lun and poor house. Every modern
Improvement is in the institution and
to complete the whole now an excel
lent system of waterworks is in opera
ton. 1t took the special committee
of the county board and the trustees
some time to put in the plant, but
now it is there. they can point at it
with pride. The delay was occa-
stoned principally by the necessity of
going deeper in the well Last Fri
day test of the plant was made.
There were present the trustees,
Messrs. Quentmeyer, Ran kin and Stop
penbach, and the special committee,
Messrs Whittet, McGolrick and Curtis
also Julius Fix, of Watertown, who is
an expert. The test proved highly
satisfactory. For two hours two
streams were thrown, each of which
passed over the buildings, and reacl ed
height of $50 feet when thrown
straight into the air. The water
comes with great force, and is certain
ly an excellent fire protection to the
institution. It was also severe test
for the we'll, and we are pleased to
state that though the amount of water
thrown was large, there was no per-
ceptible falling of the water after the
proper level was reached.
The system, however, is designed
not alone for fire protection. Water
is carried to all parts of the different
buildings. 1t is of great convenience
to the institution and gives excellent
fire protection. The next in order
now will be for Supt. Voight to drill a
fire department.. He expects to be SO
successful that he will have a team in
the fremen's tournament to be held in

Robert R. Adele, junior member of

of the city's enterprising young busi-

last at his home on Western avenue,

Color Schemes.

The study of colors and their effects
in combination is very curious one,
which many women would do we'll to
give some heed to, especially when the
house is being thoroughly renovated.
There are some colors that are cheer
full, refreshing, that give an expansive
effect. Others are depressing and give
a cramped-up appearance to a room.
If room be large and it is desired to
make it appear smaller and more coy
it can be done by having the ceiling
and walls decorated in a dark shade
and the draperies in harmony. II
blue be the predominating tone Of a
room it will have the effect of making
the room look larger than it is and it
can be introduced in some degree in a
small room for that purpose. It must
be used judiciously, however, for If it
be in excess or of a wrong shade it
will give room cold. cherries ap-
pearance. Red makes no difference in
regard to size, but it always gives the
idea of warmth and comfort. 1t will

is made of strips of colored silk and

is also an impossibility. 1t is doubtful
if many petticoats, beyond a short.
thin underskirt, are worn now, but
with the autumn, thicker underskirts
will be a necessity. At a place on the
rue de la Paix, they are making these
of satin, as close as possible to the
figure, and trimmed with one shaped
rrf1le, narrow in front and quite deep

beautifully and, as it is not the fashion
to lift the dress now. the plainness of
petticoat makes no difference. At this
shop they also show "kfickers" OF
satin, made dainty with silk ruflies.

Read these figures, which simply ex-
press the hard facts, and are absolute
ly reliable, and teach them to your
children:
One-eighth Of the people in the
United States own seven-eighths OF
the wealth of the country.
One per cent Of the people own s.
per cent Of the wealth.
Only two-hundredth Of per cent OF
the people own 20 per cent of the
wealth.
That is to say, that 1900 OF per
cent of all the people in this nation
have secured already 20 per cent of
all the wealth of the nation; that is,
this small number now own one-quar-
ter, and approaching one-third Of the
entire wealth, or about 5000 times
their share on a basis of brotherhood.
If we have come to this terrible
state of affairs in. say, fifty years, what

their rights, and change the system.
And this change must come while

WILLIAM H. APPLETON.

WILLIAM H. APPLETON.
From the Masters Table" in 1881,
William H. Appleton was actively en-
ployed as a clerk in his fathers store.
From the time of the first venture his
part in building up the business was
conspicuous one for over sixty years.
His associations with foreign au-
thors began with Thomas Moore, and
his acquaintance with English pub
fishers goes back to the time of the
elder Murray.
He was leading spirit in the direc-
ton of great undertakings like the
American Cyclopedia and "Pictur-
esque America" and his business life
included safe passage through the
troubled waters of three great finan-
cial crises-in 1887, 1857 and 1873. In
addition to his publishing interests he
had an important part for years in
the direction of other large enter
prises.
One Of the earliest and most persist
ent advocates of international copy
right, he and his partners recognized
the moral rights OF foreign authors
when they We're constrained by no le-
gal obligation.
Speaking of the first book published
by the firm, in 1881, William H. APP
pleton recently said: That book was
about three inches square and half an
inch thick, but its publication caused
the firm more anxiety than the Ameri-
can Cyclopedia undertaken some thir-
ty years later" The American Cy-
clopedia cost $4,000 volume before
sheet was printed. Picturesque

costly enterprises. The capacity OF

A Housewives Soft Hands.

A certain little housekeeper who
does all her own work and yet has the
lily-whlte hand that one reads about,
tells thus how she keeps her hands in
such good condition.: Tomatoes will
take off any stain. You know pairing
apples makes your hands frightfully
black. l discovered that the tomato
can be used - take off this stain, and
since I have found it out 1 keep one
on my kitchen table and apply it al
ways after pairing fruit. In winter
use canned tomatoes. Rather a queer
cosmetic. isn't it? Then l am careful
to wear gloves whenever it is possible
the rubber kind when I am washing
dishes, and loose old kid gloves when
I sweep. l think, with proper care
any woman can keep her hands soft
and white, even if she does house
work"

When He Smoked.

referring to her life partner, never
drinks, never swears; indeed, he has
no bad habits"
Does he ever smoker" some one
asked
Yes; he always lights a cigar just
after he has eaten good meal. But I
suppose that, on an average, he doesn't
smoke more than once month";"

Drape Your Mirror.

If woman wishes to see herself in
the deceptive mirror as others see her
with the eye, or as nearly so as posi-
BILE, she should keep the surface of her
glass highly polished and have a
plentiful supply of white-not cream
gauze or fine India lawn, gather the
material at the center of the top and
let it fall on either side, framing the
glass with soft folds OF pure white.
When this is done to artistic satisfac-
ton, peep in and see what an improve
ment it makes to the general appear

more becoming reflection than one
with hard frame, and besides, the

Philadelphia Times: A man would
lh!lhltely prefer to be disappointed in
his "lfe's intellect than in her personal
apfearance,f he has to be disillusioned
on either one point or the other after
marriage, and yet how many women
take chances with their marital hap
plness by drifting into slovenly or
careless ways, which are sure to dis
gust man, no matter how much in
lcVe he may be. Do we not all of us
Know some such instance in our own
circle of acquaintance where a pretty,
attractive girl has degenerated into an
unattractlve, untidy woman within a
rev snort years of the time when she
stood at the altar, radiant in the fresh
ness of her youthful beauty, the delight
or her husbands eye and the joy OF
MS heart? The first step downward
generally takes the form of curl papers.
An, how many divorces can be traced
directly to the baleful influences OF
these uns1ghtly knobs to which wom-
an SO soon endeavOrs to accustom her
husband, but when, if she only knew,
are the thin edge of the wedge that
opens the gap between them. Then
she acquires the wrapper habit and
thinks nothing of wearing this same
nondescrlpt and unbecoming garment
from morning until night. Little by
little she neglects to take her hair out
OF papers, reserving this process for
specially important occasions, until her
husband hardly recognizes her in her
holiday hair, minus the disfguring pa
per Wads that have produced the waves
and curls, which he, poor, de,uded NOR
tai, once thought were natural. Her
footwear resolves itself into chronic
slippers, as rule badly run down at
the heel, and before she is aware OF the
fact herself, she has become absolutely
unslghtly rather than the attractive
woman little care would make her.
DO not think that men fail to appre-
ciate all the little personal graces of
the toilet as much after marriage as
before it. The money that is expended
on delicate s2chet powder. pretty shoes
and dainty stockings. fetching little
house costume or for the services OF
manicure or hair-dresser may be con-
demned as awful extravagances. but
they are condoned much more quickly
than the neglect Of personal appear
ance that may save expenditure of both
time and money, but which wastes that
best possession Of a married woman
the sincere admiration Of her own hus-
band.

What is our remedy for the present
state Of affairs? There seems to the
writer to be only one answer. The
ren of education and culture must
throw themselves into the midst OF
social movements with the ssme ener-
gy and persistence that they pursue in
tellectual ends. He who wishes to
bring about a better state Of society
must put himself into closest touch
with it. He must not reason apart
from it. The social structure cannot
be renewed from without. All organic
growth is from within outward. True
