there. His coats and gowns-ah, how
they do 1T. Not a bit Of curve is

make the subject look like a perfectly
formed woman. The gown is made,
fitted and almost finished, when a new
and original scheme is brought into
play. The customer is wrapped in
long, wet overwhelmingly they
are known as "sheets'-and the new
tailor'made gown is put on. Then
over the hips and shoulders, and
around the waist, and up and down 10
carefully accumulated lines goes the
hot iron. Instead OF being pressed
on board, the SUIT is pressed on the
model herself. Oh, yes, to be sure
the hot vapor arises, and the woman
often cries out In alarm lest she DO
parboiled then and there, but what
matters these trivial things II ones

that she must keep the dress on till

lovely that 1t is with difficulty she Is
induced to take it of. To be blessed
with a new garment that is an exact
reproduction of ones figure, with
never single line or curve lost or

What a Little Lynch Talk Did.

That a little lynch talk does some
good on certain occasions, is proven
oy the manner in which justice was
dealt out to the two horse thieves
who were arrested Saturday afternoon
for stealing John Sylvester's horses
the night before.
The assertion has often been made,
whether authoritatively or not. that
the first man caught stealing a horse
from a member Of the Sumner County
Anti-Horse Thief Detective associa-
tlon would be summarily dealt with,
II no doubt existed in the minds Of
the members OF the association that
he was guilty. Last Friday night
John Sylvester Of Riverdale, a mem
Der OF the AH.T.D.A., lost two
horses from his pasture by theft.
The association has a standing Offer
OF 800 reward for thief who steals a
horse from any OF its members, in
addition TO the reward offered by the
county, and spares no pains to over
take thief. The wires we're kent
hot Saturday notifying surrounding
towns OF the theft o. Sylvesler's
horses, and Saturday afternoon the
thieves were caught in Wichita.
They had the stolen horses 10 their
possession and there was no doubt of
their gullt. Sheriff Heskett brought
the prisoners to Wellington Sunday
morning and placed them in Jail.
Whether or not there were any
grounds for the lynch talk which was
heard on the streets OF Wellington
yesterday, IL is certain that a great
many members Of the A.H.TD.A.
were 10 town and some OF them were
members OF the vigilance committee.
The news reached the prisoners in
Jail about IL o'clock, and caused them
no small amount of uneasiness. Di-
rectly after dinner, the accused men.
Bert Brestler and John Johnson, had
consultations In the jail separately
with Tailor Hinchcliffe, Sheriff Hes
kett and Deputy County Attorney
W. NJ. Ready. The result OF these
conferences was that the alleged
horse-thieves decided to plead guilty
at once, providing they would be
taken to the penitentiary on the 1853
Rock Island train last night. The
authorities agreed to this, and the
prisoners went at once before Justice
Chaddon and waived preliminary trial
and plead guilty before Judge W. T.
Mcbride at 4 o'clock. They were
sentenced to five years 10 the peui.
Tertiary each. At 7:l5 o'clock the
bus called at the Jail and Sheriff
Heskett with the two prisoners
climbed into 1t and were driven "
