bottle in pocket.
The court-martial of Lieutenant Pague
attracted widespread interest. Pague was
jealous of Colonel Croftop, imagining that
the latters attentions to Mrs. Pague were
too pronounced. On October 81, 1895, Pague,
heated with wine, attempted to kill the
colonel. Two bullets went through the lat
ter's overcoat the third striking the
ground. Mrs. Pague rushed to her husband
and seized his arm. He was arrested and
dismissed from the army on the finding
of the court-martial.
With his dismissal from the army Pague's
wife obtained a divorce and is now sup
posed to be in the South with her daugh-
ter. Since then he had drifted about the
city, always trying to regain his position
in the military service, and gaining live

public charity for sustenance. The suffer-
ing OF waterbound refugees has been very
great The governor figures that the loss
of life has been comparatively small, not
exceeding fifty persons.
The heaviest farming losses will fall up
on the owners of the big plantations in
the bottom, who have lost all their crops
and much of their personal property, and
are not being protected in the distribution
among the poor.
Up 10 tonight Governor Sayers has re-
celved 10000 in money contributions from
this state and from the East. In addition
thereto, he has sent out several carloads

TO HOLD A BANQUET
Odd Little Way to Fold q Napkin
That Represents u DOnkey's
Pannier.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
This design is suitable for rather cere-
monious occasions. such as a dinner
party, wedding breakfasts, ETC., and rep
resents pair of panniers such as one sees
slung across the backs of toy donkeys.
The roll is placed in one pannier; the other
forms a receptacle for little bouquet of
flowers for ladies, or boutonniere for gem
tlemen.
To begin the folding, lay the serviette
on the table with the hens at the ends and
fold it in three. the selvedge way; this
way table napkin of the usual size, twen-
this length nine inches wide.
Now make crease to mark the center
fold it three times toward the center. This
folded band must be deeper than it is long,
and the number of the first folds must be
regulated by the size and shape of the sarv-
iette If large. three folds may be made:
IL small, or oblong, 1t must only be folded
once through the center
part down on the table, take the center of
the ton part between the folds and bring
it down toward the lower edge forming
the two triangular pockets and keeping the
point between the pockets and fold it back
ward toward the top again, leaving the
top point free, however. Care must be TAX
en- to fold only the points of this part, not
the whole of it.
When this is done take the center of
the lower part in the same way and bring
it up level with the point last turned back,
repeating at the foot of the folded serviette
the triangular pockets. This forms a dia-
mond with blunt sides and open at the top
and foot, both the points in the center be-
ing turned toward the top.
Smooth the folded serviette flat and lay
the right hand on the part nearest it. Take
the left side with the other hand and fold
1t lengthwise down on the right side, at the
same time Withdrawing the right hand.
Turn it up and let 1t stand on two blunted
points and open the pockets connected by a
narrow bend. If the points show above the
band they can be turned back, but they
are scarcely noticeable when the serviette
stands ON the table The two points FORM
ing the lower part of the panniers are turn
| ed above to give the rounded outline which
| distinguishes this part from the pointed
| top.
| The serviette is now ready for the table
and for the reception of the roll and bou-
quet.

IOWA SENAT0RSHIP.
Governor Shaw and Congressman
DoIliver in the Race for

FORT DODGE. July s.-The senatorial
boom of Jonathan Preptiss DolIiyer has
been formally launched. Humboldt county,
which borders on Mr.. Delivers home coun-
ty, on the north, held its convention a day
or two ago, and instead of following the
usual custom of counties in the Tenth dis
trict and passing over the senatorial Ques-
tion without reference to the candidates
the friends of MIR. Dolliver in this county
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That we recognize and appre-
ciate the Hon. j. p. Dolliver as an able and
honorable representative in congress and
favor his election as United States sena-
tor" =
This resolution was unanimously adopt
ed, and may be taken notice that Mr.
Dolliyer will be a candidate for United
States senator when the proper time comes
OF course. Mr.. Dolliver modestly claims
that he did not know that Humboldt coun-
iy would take this sort of pronounced po-
sition on the question, but their proximity
10 his home and the fact that in the bal
ance of the district no instructions have
been given, and the other representatives
will not be committed to any cut and dried
programme, but ready to follow the lead
OF Humboldt indicates "a shrewd plan,
which undoubtedly has its origin not far
from this city.

employed in the mandatory, both male

hitherto been performed in rooms to which
all the light that was admitted came

two of the men, now between two of the

bright spirit that the red panes of glass

try what the effect of green panes would
be. The effect was instantaneous. From
that day sudden peace fell upon the
whole workshop that had never been known

WARM WEATHER LOCKS.
Seasonable Suggestions for Making
the Hair "Naturally
Curly"

From an Exchange.
These warm, "perspiring days will prove
more troublesome for curled locks than
all the blowing of the spring winds, and
it is necessary to take special pains not
only to make the hair look naturally
curly" but to keep this natural curl from
disappearing at the first provocation. e
locks being the right thing now, but stick
out-short-ends are no prettier than they
ever were. Tight frizzes are not per-
mitted, but loose natural turns are still a
way to accomplish them. Wind the lock
from the very tip of the hair In a round
mat. until the lock is snugiy curved down
turns make. Fold up the mat in square
of tissue paper. Press it, paper and hair.
at night before you go to bed and let 1t
stay in the paper all night.
In the morning, the paper unfolded, down
will tumble the lock, glossy and curved
into loose series of rounds, as different
as can be from the quirk of corners that
passes for the usual artificial curl. No
matter how long or how short the lock. it
will come from this treatment natural y
the curl, coming out in a pretty loosening
Of the curve instead of in sharp angles.
All this takes time, though, and short
er way and almost as good Is TO wind the
lock over a roll of silk, being sure the tip
of the lock curves under snugly. The diff
ference between the natural and the coerced
curl is all in the curve of the tip. No natur-
al curl ever starts to cork-screw right from
the scalp, though a wave or so may show
there So devote all attention to the round
ing of the ends.
If an iron is used let it be a good-sized
round and not scorching. Dampen the hair
slightly and curl slowly. Slip the lock from
the iron and let it stay pinned in the close
gathered round for a little while, at any
rate till it cools. This holding of the curl
till the hair cools makes the curl last much
longer. Two rules ther-go slow and look
out for the ends. When the necessary locks
are curved do UP the hair. letting the
curves escape in their own natural way.
