which was first erected in Pawnee
Township. Efforts are now being made
by the people of Kansas to preserve
from the rayages of time this ancient
relic 1t is one of few reminders of
early days left standing there and it
was built when the settlement of the
West was just beginning. 1t stands
near Fort Riley in the central part of
the State, and is all that is left of the
town of Pawnee, the first capital of the
State. The town was started by boom
ers who stood in" with the territorial
Governor, A. H. Reder, who owned land
there and was good deal of a specu-
lator.
The town association built the capt.
toll, stone structure, two stories high
and 40xS0 feet in outside dimensions
1t laid out the streets and boarding
houses were made ready for the first
meeting of the Legislature. Then, in
1855, the Governor called the Legisla-
ture to meet there, and the solons de-
cided that they would not assist him.
They went from Eastern Kansas in
prairie schooners, a long procession
that wound its way $50 miles out on
the prairie, the travellers growing more
angry that the Governor had selected
so distant place. They had provisions
for the trip, and when they reached
Fawnee not one of them went to the
clearinghouse as had been expected,
but they cooked in their wagons and
lived on the edge Of the town site.
On the day for the opening of the
Legislature they went to the new stone
building and held a session, which con-
sisted of organizing and adjourning to
Shawnee Mission in the eastern part OF
the State, where, despite all the efforts
of the Governor. the remainder of the
session was held.
Pawnee did not make a town. The
cholera broke out the next year at Fort
Riley and the people fed. The State
house stands out on the plain, deserted,
the roof gone and the interior a place

consists of small wheel mounted in
casing and provided with pockets
around its periphery, the casing being
mounted on base which is adapted to
hold bowl or glass. The connection
between the beaten and motor is made
through knuckle joint. When it is de-
sired to use the utensil the faucet is
inserted in the opening at the top Of the
casing and the spring wire is hooked
over the spindle This forms a water
tight joint, and when the faucet is
opened a stream issues from the
obliquely arranged nozzle and impinges
upon the curved buckets, rotating the
beater and whipping the contents of the
glass. Besides whipping cream and
beating eggs the machine will stir may
onnaise sauce and beat cake batter, and
it is probable that still other uses can be
found for it.

A noticeable feature of the fall gowns
is their trimming of beading and span
giles. A good deal was said last fall
about the decline of these tissues and
many very beautiful gowns were sold at
a song. The buyers now may congratu-
late themselves. 1t is true that all-oyer
spangling is no longer quite as good taste
as it was. The right thing has needle
work and inlaying of lace or gauze COM
bined with spangling or beading. There
is every effort so to dispose the ornamen-
tation that it may appear that it was
applied after making up the dress, or at
least with especial reference to the style
selected for the making. 4 combination
of soft and opal colors IS more liked than
the barbara splendofs the beginnings of
the fashion saw. Then there is a tenden-
cy to embroidsr and bead or spangle the
lighter cloths, which is significant as to
the coming season. The beading is often
of very beautiful workmanship. and solid
metal beads. such as cut steel. are en-
ployed in outlines as well as in solid
blocks, reminding one of old-time slipper
work.

BOTHA'S BRAVE STAND.
Beers Have Been Making a Gallant lie
UnaYaiIing Resistance.


UnavaiIing Resistance.
For reasons not difficult to understand
public interest in the Transvaal war
seems to have waned since the fall of
Pretoria and the overrunning of the two
little republics by the big British ar
mics. In reality, however, says a CORE
spondent, the Beers were never worthier
of sympathy and admiration than they
have shown themselves the last eight or
ten weeks. 1t has been difficult to follow
the movements, as they have not been
reported at as great length as in the
earlier stages of the war, but il is evil
dent that gallant, determined, but in
the end probably unavailing, resistance
has been kept up by the Boers under
Dewet and Botha, and at times these
able generals have been able TO secure
considerable victories over their foe,
Gen. Botha's stand Saturday was the
most determined one recenty made. On
Sunday Lord Roberts lieutenants, Gems.
Butler, French and Pole Carew, attacked
in force Gen. Botha's strongly intrenched
situation. The Boer front covered chain
of hill country and the line of defense
was one of great natural strength The
Beers were defeated with great loss and
at last accounts were falling back. ThS
British losses were also reported 20 De

London is hoping that this is the end
of the war, and it may be. 1t is taking
no chances, however, and British re-en-
forcements are on the way to Africa.
How much longer the Beers will be able
to keep up their fight at such immense
disadvantage it is difficult. in the abb
senee of am exact information. to hazard
even a reasonable guess. Should the
present complications in China Involve
England in war with any Of the great
powers it would make the Beers oppor-
tunity. 1t is probably this hope that Is
now sustaining them in their struggle.

Chinese Bruta1ities.
The Chicago Record prints the follow
ing copyright cable from Robert Csitman,
Jr., its staff correspondent in Fekins

II visited to-day the hole in the street
from which the body of the late Germans
minister, Baron Won Ketteler, was recov-
cred, and in which il had lain half buried
ever since the murder, being inclosed in
huge, clumsy Chinese coffin. Corpses
lie unburied in every street, making a
sickening sight
All during the siege both the Boxers
and the regular Chinese troops wantonly
looted the official residences and shot
women and children The terrorized pop
ulace fed on the arrival of the foreign
troops, only the poverty-strieken remain
ing behind. The thieying. however. has
not come to an END with the capture OF
the clty. Looting parties are seen every
where laden with silks, silver and bull
lion. The Japanese have got hold of tons
and tons Of silver and have deposited it
in the japanese legation.
The Chinese troops have either all fed
or have discarded their uniforms and
mixed with the populace. The Japanese
entered the forbidden city last night, af-
ter helping the French troops to relieve
the Pei-tang cathedral north Of the cap
ital.
When almost exhausted, after the hot
test night Of rifle fire during the siege,
we heard early on the morning of the
14th the distant cannon announcing the
coming of relief. The treacherous Tsuns-
li-Yamen informed us on the 18th that
we would not again be attacked. Then,
when it was expected that we would be
off guard, we were attacked from all
sides, and the onslaught was continued
until the relieving column was actually
in Legation street.
The allied forces emndured tremendous
heat en- route, but courageouSly pressed
forward and defeated the majority of the
Chinese army at Yang-tsun, twenty miles
north Of Tien-tsin. Thereafter they en-
gagged only in skirmishes. The Chinese,
fleeing before them, entered Pekin and
enr. more attacked us. 1t was marvel
GUS how our 600 men withstood the thou
sands of Chinese and KanSu ruffans.
During the eight weeks siege our loss
was sixty-fve killed and 40 wounded,
and only the arrival of the relief column
on the afternoon of the 14th prevented
our massacre that night.

come the one distinctive feature of the
fall and early winter styles. Certainly
there is no good promise Of other general
change.

woman with handsome arm is wearing

shoulder or slightly widened there by
shoulder finish. Such a sleeve ends at the
elbow, or just short of the elbow IL the
elbow is the dimpled attraction Il should

looking IN half sleeve as if they had
turned up their sleeves for wash day. but
