Notes of the Mode.

From the New York Tribune.
 The latest Parisian fancy is a black stock of moussehne de soie, decorated with slanting lines of Roman pearl and fastened at the left side in fluffy but terfiy bow. This is worn with evening dress, and Is regarded as tremendously chic.
 Ribbon embroidery Is being used on gowns in floral designs, and is extremely pretty. A charming gown of pale violet satin is embroidered with raised roses, made of violet crape and outlined in sil- yer cord.
 Some of the new satin foulard gowns are made with skirts pleated in narrow kilt pleatings all around. Several inser- tons of lace are introduced across the lower part of the skirt and in the waist. The sleeves are similarly pleated and reach only to the elbow.
 It Is said that the large Leghorn hat with sentimental droop is to be a feature of the coming summer millinery The crown will be rather high and encircled by rose wreath. and the brim will be adorned by wide, soft ribbon drapery, caught on the edge in front and tied in a Dow at the back.
 Daintiest muslfns and dimities are used for the white petticoats that are to be worn so generally next summer, to match the white dresses. These skirts will be trimmed with numerous narrow ruffles on two or three overlapping deep fiounces, to give sufficient fiuffiness to the edge. With gowns of colored muslin and silk, skirts of muslin of corresponding tints will be worn.
 The most extreme novelty in gowns is the shirred circular skirt It is cut excess sively full, and fits the hips closely. but because of its extreme flare requires the shirring to begin about eight inches be- low the waist line. The lines of shirring are five inches apart and reach to the knee. Of course, this mode is appropriate only for thin materials The waist should be shirred for a depth of two or three inches below the transparent yoke.
 The most charming dotted swisses are

But the very circumstance that these

party strengthens the elements that are
trying formally to unhorse him. and
the principles announced in June by
the committee which is trying to unite
them-public ownership, an income
tax and fiat money-are practically his
own. He was ready in 1000 to refuse
a Democratic and accept IL Populistic

JUDGE l.. B. GIBSON
ASSAULTED AT PUEBLO

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 25.-(Denver Re-
publican Special.)-Judge l.. b. Glib
son, one of the Oldest and most highly
respected members of the Pueblo bar,
was the victim of an unknown assail-
ant shortly after noon yesterday.
While seated ut his desk in his Of
fee, room 124 Central block, man
entered and without word np-
preached the judge and stuck n revol-
yer under his nose. The judge wheeled
about in his chair and pushed the re-
volver up. The man then struck the
Judge seven blows on the head, pre-
sumably with the butt Of the revolver.
although the bruises would indicate
that n heavy piece of metal was used.
The man succeeded in making his es-
cape while the judge lay on the floor
where he had fallen.
Judge Gibson was able to stagger
into DIR. Dorland's office on the same
floor, where his wounds were dressed.
The worst wound Is on the crown Of
his head, which produced concus-
sion of the brain and tonight the
Judge is reported to be very weak, al
though conscious. He Is at the Pueblo
hospital. In the struggle the revolver
fell to the floor and was afterwards
found by the officers.
Judge Gibson, in giving an account
of the assault, says that his assailant
was nearly six feet tall, well dressed
in an apparently new suit of clothes.
had n light moustache, light hair and
complexion. He does not remember
ever seeing the man before and says
the fellow did not speak n word while
in the Office. He is at loss to account
for the mysterious assault.
The appearance of the office indicat-
ed that the judge had made quite a
struggle to resist the onslaught of the
stranger, but he does not know wheth-
er the assailant was injured.
A special meeting of the Pueblo Bar
Association was called yesterday af-
ternoon and a reward of $500 was Of
fered by them for the arrest of the as
| sailant. The assault is one of the
most mysterious in the criminal his
tory of the city, and has aroused in
tense interest.
Reports from the hospital indicate
that the judge will recover, although
his injuries are more serious than at
first reported.
Judge Gibson has been n prominent
figure in Pueblo politics for twenty
years. He was district attorney for
two terms, going out of office in 1893.
He lives at 215 Van Buren, street and
has one son twenty-five years of age.
He is about sixty years old.

Iowa Republicans.
MAX.

An Iowa Republican convention is
interesting to the brethren in other
states, because the party lras IL way of
backing up Its nominations mt the polls
with Il vigOr that makes the Demo
cratic ticket nearly n negligible guam
tity, and because the Hawkeye state.
like the Buckeye state, has an embar-
rassing richness of great men. The
convention that named National Com
mitteeman A. B. Cummins OF Des
Moines for governor yesterday. may,
for all practical purposes, be regarded
as the election itself. for the present
incumbent, Governor Shaw, had $4,000
votes to spare in 1880, and Mckinley
led Bryan in the state by G5,O0O in
1896 and $4,000 in 1900.
Perhaps the Republicans of Iowa
somewhat overdo the matter in the
size of their majoritles. AS Senator
Thurston of Nebraska said yesterday,
1T is the three great and sometimes
doubtful states of Indiana, Ohio and
New York that are likely to exert the
strongest influence in the next nation
nj convention" There is nothing
doubtful about Iowa; but the promi-
nence of her Republican chieftains
gives them personal claim to the con-
sideration of the party elsewhere. Sen
ators Allison and Dolllver have both
been mentioned" for the presidency,
although Allison avows he is too old,
and although some say that Dolliver
is bit too young. Speaker Hender-
son is an Iowan, and SO, to be sure, is
Minister Conger, who was talked Of
for governor in the spring, but who
somehow did not develop in the can
vass. Most conspicuous of all Iowa Re-
publican availabilities is Governor Les
lie NJ. Shaw himself. who was NOT
quite nominated for the presidency
yesterday. but who was put to the
fore as "a national leader of renown."
OF the Republican state platform,
that may be said which may be said Of
all Republican state platforms this
year. 1t puts good deal of emphasis
on national questions which indeed are
as agreeable subjects for Republican
conventions to approach as they are
disagreeable for Democratic conven-
tions. The most significant plank is
that calling for reciprocity and plac-
ing the party in the state squarely be-
hind the President. Mr.. Thurston says
he has not discovered any such stren-
uOus demand in the West for wider
reciprocity as Is reported to exist"
We refer him to the eastern bank Of
the Missouri.-Mail and Express.
