SUMNER SOFA PILLOWS.
Attractive Cushions That Look Coed
and Inviting Even in Warm

The sofa cushion is always mat
ter of household Importance, as much
of the household comfort depends
upon it. In summer it demands special
consideration, because it should both
look and be cool, and must be pleas
ing in appearance, and be of nature
that will launder easily, says the New
York Tribune.
A pretty summer cushion cover is
thus made: White linen crash is
marked off into squares, of which
every alternate one is embroidered in
Italian cut work. This work is not as
difficult as it looks The linen is fas-
tened in a frame or on a stiff paper,
to give firm working surface. Each
square that is to be worked is filed
with weaving" and the various lace
stitches and the borders of all the
squares are finished with ''binding
stitch" The linen is then cut from
under the embroidered squares.
The cushion is finished on the edges
with insertion of heavy lace. One
should always remember in making
up a cushion that the down puff it.
self should measure two inches longer
than the outer cover. These down
pillows can be bought ready made, and
one should order with this in mind.
By having the under pillow larger the
corners of the cover are forced full
and the whole pillow is thus filled and
so holds its shape, as it will not do
if the cover is large.
When the embroidery on a cushion
cover is soft and pliab1e the cover can
readily be sewed to its lining wrong
side out and turned, but if the em-
broidery is rich and likely to be dam
aged by such treatment, the prop
er way to make up the cushion is to
sew both sides separately to the down
pillow itself. Square the cover per-
fectly, turn the edges round ali four
sides and top, sew them lightly to the
seam of the cushion. When this is
in place turn the edges of the fabric
which is to form the back and top,
sew this to the seam first, meeting the
two. Cover this edge with cord.

DISASTROUS FOREST FIRES.
They Threaten to Denude Colorado of
Timber if Means Cannot Be Found
to Check Them.

Denver, Col, June 2S.-Not in
many years has Colorado been visit
ed by so many disastrous forest fires
as this summer. Half a dozen big
fires are now raging and numerous
smaller ones threaten to denude the
state of timber if means cannot be
found to check them. Register Joyce
sent out four of his inspectors dur
ing the past few days to battle with
the fires and has issued a general APP
peal to peace officers to render all
assistance in their power to stay
the flames.
A great fire is sweeping along the
Medicine Bow range in Wyoming and
will soon reach Colorado if not
checked. Some of the finest timber
in the state is in the path of this
fire. A number of the fires are
thought to be of incendiary origin.

CROPS BADLY DAMAGED.
st. Louis and Vicinity Visited by Storm OF
Unusual Severity-WOrId's Fair
Buildings Injured

ST. Louis, June 3O.-This city and
vicinity yesterday was the center of
a rainstorm of unprecedented Sc
verify that had prevailed almost in
cessantly since Saturday morning
At times the storm equalled cloud
burst in severity. The storm is the
most widespread that has been ex-
perienced in this country for many
years, according to weather bureau
officials, extending from the Rocky
mountains to the Alleghenies. Con-
siderable damage, the total estimated
at about $25O,OOO, resulted from the
wind that accompanied the rain,
which blew down trees, telephone,
telegraph and trolley poles and in
terfered with communication of all
sorts. From the country surround
ing come reports of destruction to
crops and the washing out of rail
road tracks and bridges, causing
considerable delay to trains. Five
hundred feet of the north wall of
the varied industries palace at the
worlds fair grounds fell last night
as the result of the storm, the water
undermining the foundations when
the wind was at it's height. In places
the worlds fair grounds are covered
with water.

HEALTH AND USEFULNESS.
They Go Together and One Is Largely
the Result of the
Other.

We have heard much lately about
the increasing competitiveness OF
life, not only in the more or less bar
ren countries of Europe but also nj
our own fertile country. The queS.
tion has number of phaseH, one of
which we shall consider here, says the
Boston Journal.
If you look at the sporting pages
of the Journal to-day you will see
reports of multitude of athletic
events. The schooIboy is enjoying
himself in the baseball field and On
the river; his brother may be menu
Der of some college nine or a candi-
date for crew: his sister is perhaps
a member of basket ball team; his
father, in odd hours, goes out on the
golf links or practices with the stur-
dy medicine-ban in the gymnasium.
and it is not at all improbable that
this same boys mamma can swing
a golf stick as vigorously and ac-
curately as she once could swing the
slipper that pursues disobedience.
So, if the struggle in this vale OF
tears is growing keener, it seems To
us that a good many people are in
COIS ldnG ACTIVE 1OE I1S
struggle. There are exceptions to
every rule, of course, but the chances
of winning this ancient fight for d
decent earthly existence are better
with the man who takes care of his
body than with the man who doesn't.
Give US our health, and let the
richest man in the union keep his
hundreds of millions and his chronic
Indigestion. Good health is half the
battle, It quickens the body and
sweetens the mind; it promotes am
bition; it lightens trouble, and it
Iengthens the years. Of all worldly
possessions it is the chiefest, for the
loss of it is what all men, the rich
and the poor alike, most regret.
1t is good, therefore, to become
habituated to healthiness at an early
age; and, barring accident, good
health certainly is a matter of hab-
it's. Nor is there any reason why the
playfulness of these habits should
not be relished in manhood as well
as in boyhood. Many a great man
would have done twice as much for
his day and generation if only he had
been equal to daily frolic.

FOR LOOT AND GAIN?
Admiral Dewey Says AguinaldO's
Motives Were Mercenary.
On the Witness Stand the Admiral Declared
That the Filipino Leader at No Time
Had the independence OF His
Race In Mind.

Washington, June 28.-Admiral
Dewey continued his testimony be-
fore the senate committee on the
Philippines Friday. Replying to ques-
tions put by Senator Patterson, he
said that he had begun negotiations
with the encouragement of the
Philippines, Gen. Jaudens, for the
surrender of the city and the ne
gotiations were conducted through
the Belgian consul, who after the
death of the British consul had been
very courteous in acting as a GO
between. 1t was a diplomatic nego-
tiation, no letters being written.
Asked by Mr.. Patterson to explain
his statement that Gen. Merritt had
not accepted the report that the
Spaniards had agreed to capitulate,
Admiral Dewey said that was only
his belief. 81 don't believe he said,
that the general entirely trusted
the Spanish authorities. Still he did
not say SO in SO many words. [ may
add that have since learned that
some of the Spanish officers were
tempted to fire at us, but they did
not do so. Even my own flag lieuten-
ant did not accept their proffer as
in the best faith. I knew, however,
that they would surrender for [ I'M
derstood the straits they were i'm
Mr.. Patterson then read Mr.. Wild
mans letter of July IS, 1898, saying
that Aguinaldo had conducted him
self in dignified manner, etc, and
the admiral assented to the truth of
this statement. Speaking of Aguinal-
dos loyalty the admiral said he had
become suspicious of the leader be-
fore the receipt of his procIamat ton
of July Is. He said: 81 began to sus-
pect that he was not loyal to us
when he demurred to moving out of
Cavite when our troops arrived -
Admiral Dewey said he had for
warded the proclamations of Aguin-
aldo to Washington without reading
them. "The days and nights were
not long enough for my work at that
time" said the admiral. 'Since you
have asked my opinion" said he, in
answer to a question, 81 will say I
believe Aguinaldo was there for gain,
for loot, for money, and that indie.
pendence never entered his head. -
Senator Carmack asked him why he
furnished such man arms and
helped to organize his army, to which
the admiral replied that ''alI was fair
in war" and there were no Ameri-
Z. can troops in the islands to oppose
the Spaniards. Answering several
questions the admiral said he thought
, he knew Aguinaldo better than Gen.
{ Otis, Gen. Bell or any ether officer,
as he saw more of him. ''He had not
been in Manila 48 hours before [ saw
he was there for loot; he was then
taking everything he could lay his
hands on from everybody, and I ex-
pect he got the lions share" Senator
Carmack asked ''you don't know of
a single dishonest act on the part of
Aguinaldo, yet you regard him as a
theft" Admiral Dewey said: 81
think I shan't answer that question, b"
and taking his hat and bowling, left
the room.

AMNESTY FOR ALL.
On July the President VIII Release Po-
HticaI Prisoners In the Philippines,
Including AeuInaIdo.

Washington, June 2s.-At the meet
ing of the cabinet yesterday the
terms of an amnesty proclamation
to the FiIipinos, which it is contem-
plated to issue on the Fourth of
July, were agreed upon. The war
department for some time past has
had under consideration the draft of
q proclamation and has found it nee
essary to make number of changes
in its text. In its modified state it
was agreed to by the cabinet yester-
day and Secretary Root will cable it
to Acting Gov. Wright for his in
spection. If it meets the latter's
approval nothing will remain but for
the president, if the Philippine civil
government bill is a law on that day,
as is now expected it will be, to
issue on Independence day formal
proclamation, setting forth terms of
amnesty for all political offenders
in the islands, including Aguinaldo
and those held at Guam.

ST. Joseph, Mo-, June 28.-William
Coates, aged II, was arrested here
yesterday on suspicion of being the
murderer of his mother, whose par
TALLY decomposed body was found
in her home on farm south of this
city yesterday. Coates, after a brief
sweating at police headquarters,
made full confession, duplicating
his father, James Coates, who soon
afterwards was taken into custody.
The parents have been separated for
several months. The son says he

THE WORK OF CONGRESS-.
Many Bills OF Far-ReachIng Importance
acknowledgements WIN Aggro-
gate Nearly st,OOO,OOO.OOo.

Washington, June 3O.-The work
of congress is now practically closed,
so that it is possible to sum up the
record of what has been accom-
pHshed during the past seven months,
which constitute the first session of
the Fifty-seventh congress. With
the exception of the Cuban reciproc-
ity bill, most of the larger subjects
of general legislation have been en-
acted as laws or will become such be-
fore the session closes. Notable
among these larger measures is the
isthmian canal bill, which consum-
mates the efforts of a half century
to link together the waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific. The Philippine
civil government bill is another meas
ure of far-reaching Importance eN-
tending to. our remote Pacific posses
sions a system of international gov
eminent together with coinage, cur
rency, banking, corporation, timber
and homestead laws. Among the
other important general laws are
those repeating the war revenue
taxes; extending and making more
effective the Chinese exclusion laws;
establishing tariff for good to and
from the Philippines; extending the
charter of national banks for 20
years; establishing permanent CEN
sus office; restricting the sale of
o1eomargarine by placing high tax
on Imitation butter; providing con-
su1ar and diplomatic service for
China; establishing an extensive sys-
tenn by which the government will
aid in the irrigation of the arid sec
tions of the west
The amount of appropriations for
the session will almost, if not quite,
come up to the billion dollar mark.

Kearney, Mo-, June 3O.-The
moldering bones of Jesse James, Mis-
souri's bandit king, were buried yes
terday for the last time in the Bap-
fist graveyard here. The body,
which had rested since his tragic
death at the hands of Bob Ford in
ST. Joseph in 1882, was disinterred
yesterday morning at the old Sam
uels homestead, 31A miles northeast
of this place, in the early forenoon,
placed in a new black casket and in
the afternoon was reburied by the

A RUSH FOR TERMINALS
Kansas City Railroads Are Buying Land
Across the Missouri River In Clay
County, NO.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 2S.-In the
sudden boom of a north Kansas City
across the river in Clay county, Mo-,
is disclosed the rush of the railways
for terminals and the imminent ex-
pansion of Kansas City which. it is
believed, viii exceed anything of the
kind in its history and probably fur
nish an epoch in city building. The
railways are crowded badly in Kan
sas City. There is great confusion of
freight and passenger car yalds. Be-
yond all this is the unrest in Che stock
yards a.1d packing business.

She was then taken in charge by the
sheriff and placed in her old cell, a
small room about 1Ox2O feet.
The penalty is from ten years to
life Imprisonment. Sentence will be
pronounced this week, and the case
may be appealed to the supreme
court again. Eleven men stood for
conviction and one for acquittal on
the first ballot; on the second all
stood for conviction, but one man
held out for manslaughter until the
seventh ballot, when the verdict was
secured.
At the first trial the jury did not
agree. At the second trial verdict
of second degree manslaughter was
rendered and the defendant was SEN
fenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary.

THE DEMOCRATIC ISSUES.
House Caucns Condemns Republicans for
Failure to Pass Cuban Reciprocity
BII-Anti-Trust Law.

Washington, June 2S.-A caucus of
the democratic members of the house
of representative held last night
unanimously adopted resolutions
condemning the republican majority
in congress for their failure to pass
a measure providing reciprocity with
Cuba; also for being dominated and
controlled by the trusts and monopo-
lies; favoring the immediate passage
of a measure to amend the present
antitrust law so as to more fully
protect trade and commerce against
unlawful restraints and monOpolies
and opposing the adjournment of
congress until the measures men
toned have been enacted into law.

OFF GO THEIR HEADS.
Leaders of the Chinese Who Destroy ed
British and American Missions Suffer
the Customary Penalty.

Pellin, June 2S.-The viceroy of the
province of Szeh-Chuan has notified
the government that the American
and British mission buildings at Tien
Ku Chao have been destroyed by a
mob and that a missionary has been
murdered. His name and nationality
were not reported. An imperial edict
just issued deprives the local magis-
tfate of Tien Ku Chao of his rank
and orders the determination of the
rioters. Several of the leaders of the
.eutbreak are reported to have been
beheaded. Apparently this was an
anti=idemnity rising, like those which
have occurred elsewhere in China.
