AMERICA NO LONGER NATION DEVOTED TO TE OF PIE AND CAKE

Cake is never seen in the best houses

comedy. That there are fashions in
foods as in hats is a fact that cannot
be gainsaid.

long considered the national food of
America, have lost considerable pres

While stripes made pretty trimming

even in embroidery which makes them
especially attractive. So II you want

THAT BEDWELL CASE.
Drs. Lindsay and Bowen Elk
anime Jacob RynersOn.

DIR. w. S. Lindsay today confirmed
the reports published in the State Jour-
nal in regard to the condition of Jacob
Rynerson, the aged patient who was so
brutally treated at the Bedwell private
asylum east of the city.
3 DR.. Lindsay and DR.. w. F. Bowen
went to Tecumseh Saturday evening at
the request of w. F. Schoch who repre-
sents the relatives Of Rynerson. to make
an examination of the condition Of the
old man. They found the bruises and
wounds as has been previously described
in the State Journal. He says the ribs
are not seriously fractured.
No other steps have been taken
against the institution up to this time.
Mr.. Schoch's time has been pretty
thoroughly occupied with other matters
in court and has not had all the time
necessary to devote to the case, but will
probably have his papers ready to file
making charges against the Institution
before the end of this week.
S. A. Bedwell late Saturday afternoon
filed his license from the state board of
charities, with the county clerk He ex-
planned that he was unaware that the
law required the license to be filed.

tons by the tariff: No one has a right
to say that all has been done that can

remedy should prove to be of no avail,
then we should have to consider other
things tfor the American people will

school board of Philadelphia has con-

MISS CLUPPER RETURNS.
Father Says She Lett Because O
Talk

Daisy Clupper. the 16-year-old Oak
land girl who fed from home a week
ago Sunday morning. leaving a note
behind which said that her body would
be found in the bottom of the Kaw
river, returned to her parents Sunday
night. Her father, ]. c. Clupper, went
to the home of her friend, Minnie Swal-
low, near Lecomoton. where she was
located the day after her escapade, ana
found her only too willing to accom-
pany him back to Topeka.
Miss Clippers father explains the
queer action of his daughter by saying
that there was talk in the neighbor-
hood because while while she was en-
gagged as a domestic in the family of a
neighbor the laundering was sent in to
her home and taken care of by her
mother against the girls protest. and
that several people in that locality COM
mented upon it in a way that was dis
agreeable to the young woman. He
believes that unless the talk is re-
vived she will be content to remain
with her parents. The meeting between
the mother and daughter Sunday even
ing was particularly touching.
