Painting on Chiffon.
Hand-painted chiffon and net gowns
also furnish an opportunity for the dis
play OF most beautiful work, and on
black, white or colored chiffon one sees
exquisiteiy painted designs done IN tho
most enhancing coIorings. Painted lace
may be an anachronism. but it is ex-

II can be readily understood that only

best. In fact. these are the only ones
considered fashionable Hand-painted
lace medaIlions on chiffon gowns arc
new only in the novel arrangement and
shapes Of the medalllons. Two or three
winters ago model evening gown that
was greatly admired was made of black
crepe de paris thickly spangled with
steel paiIettes. The foot OF the skirt
was further Ornamented with long pea
cock feathers Of white lace arranged TO
form a hounce effect. The same idea is
carried out IN the white lace gown, with
its marvellous embroidery Of peacock
feathers extending half way up the
skirt and reproducing I'm pale hues the
true colors Of the feathers.

MATTER is NOW AT AN END

ternaI One in Which She Must Re-

Washington, July 16.-The Jewish
petition laid before the president by
the BNai Birth committee has
reached here and Secretary Hay has
communicated by cable with MI. Rid
die, the American charge d'affairs at
St. Petersburg, respecting the means
to be employed in bringing it to the
attention of the car. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Riddles instructions are to
notify the Russian government OF the
existence of the petition and ascertain
whether it is willing to receive it. The
Jewish committee, it is stated, is en-
tirely satisfied with the plans framed
by the president and Secretary Hay
for the presentation of the matter to
the Russian government. No further
announcement will be made here until
Mr. Riddle has been heard from.
Washington, July lit was learn
ed last night that the state depart
ment has received reply from Rus

Kishenev incident. This information
came in the form of cablegram from

The reply that Russia would make to
all suggestions on the subject of the
Kishenev massacre was fOrecasted
very clearly by the Associated Press
in an authorized statement when the
public was definitely informed that
Russia regarded the affair as an inter

Des Moinss, July 15.-Much atten-
tion vas given to the inebriate law
q the opening session of the State
Association Of County Attorneys, held
IN the club rooms Of the Sayery yes,
terday afternoon. John A. Hammili'
OF Britt. read an interesting paper on
the subject Of The Inebriate Law,
and there was = general discussion Of
the topic.
Mr.. Hammill took the view that
separate institution should be provided
for inebriates and that they should
not be sent to the state hospitals
and allowed to mingle with the in
sane. 1T ID impossible" he said, 10
keep them entirely separated In our
state institutions. The inebriate
should be required to work and pro-
vision should be made for restraining
him more successfully than is possible
under existing laws.
This is an exceedingly difficult mat
ter to deal with. but it is fact that
very large number OF ineoriates
escape from our institutions, and tne
officials are practically helpless to pre-
vent 1t.
1.-THE law in regard to returning Of
escaped inebriates and their connne-
ment is not sufficiently comprehensive
to permit the restraint necessary 10
prevent escapes. am Of the opinion
that inebrates should be committed
to an institution especially PROVIDED
for them. Their presence in an inst-
tuition for the insane has a tendency
to demoralize the discipline OF the IN
stitution, and many of the people com.
mitted under the act cannot be hetd
against their wishes, unless the IN

Mr.. Hammill considered the subject
Of fnebriacy at length, and held that
separate and distinct Institution should
be provided for inebriates, which
should be primarily semi-penal IN
stituticn and secondariiy hospital.
The speaker held that inebriate nos
pitfalls should be built from money
raised by taxes on the sale OF spirits
on the principle that every business
should be obliged to provide for the &C
cidents which grow out OF its use.
In the discussion that followed there
was general accord with Mr.. Han,mill's
idea that separate Institution should
lie provided for inebriates. Various
features Of the law were discussed.
County Attorney H. F. Schultz, OF
Baena Vista county, thought the ineb
riate was entitled to trial by jury,
but the majority thought otherwise.
and sanctioned the Interpretation OF
the measure as made by Judge McFey,
of this city. in deciding the question
of the constitutionality of the law. 1t
was the general feeling that Judge NJ
Vey was right in the contention that
the commitment of the inebriate was
not a penal commitment

STEERS STOLEN FROM FARM.
Twenty-three Head Were Taken and
Shipped to Chicago.

Des Moines. July 14.-About 4
o'clock last Sunday morning thieves
entered a pasture of the Flynn farm,
three miles west of the city, and
loaded twenty.three head of Mr..
Flynn's best steers into car. which
had been ordered placed on the siding
by unknown parties earlier in the
week. The cattle we're put into the
car, the car picked up by a freight
train and taken to Madrid, from where
it was billed on through to Chicago
to Clay, Robinson & Co. The stock
was billed from H.. r. Thompson, of
Valley Junction. The name is I'M
doubtedly fictitious one.
The theft was not discovered until
Sunday afternoon, when man from
Grimes, from where the car was Sent
to Ryder, which is the siding on the
Flynn farm, drove by the place and
asked Mr. Frank Flynn if any cattle
had been stolen. Mr.. Flynn at once
rode to the pasture adjacent to Ryder
and discovered taat twenty-four of
forty of the best cattle on the farm
had disappeared. Investigation show
ed that the cattle had been taken to
Ryder and loaded. "a.
A search was at once instituted. 1t
was found that last Tuesday or We'd
nesday someone had telephoned, ask
ing the Milwaukee to lay car in on
the siding at Ryder. This was done.
Sunday morning Conductor McManus
of an outbound cattle train was asked
to pick up the car and take it to Mad
rid. He did SO, and from Madrid the
car was shipped to the Chicago cattle
dealers. After quite search, M.
Flynn found the number of the car
and to whom it was billed. Clay-Rob-
inson & Company were Immediately
informed to hold car No. S777 OF the
Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
road A reply was received stating
that the cattle were in Chicago, and
also asked what should be done. 1t
developed that no one had appeared
in Chicago to claim the cattle.
William Flynn went TO Chicago
Sunday night to identify and claim the
steers. Last night a telegram was re-
ceived from him. saying that the cat
tie had been found and identified by
the plain brand and a slit in the ear,
and would be shipped back immedi-
ately. Owing to the fact that the rail-
road company hauled stolen goods
and without a shippers contract,
which the parties who did the stealing
were unwilling to sign, it will have to
stand the haul both ways. Mr., Flynn.
therefore, is out nothing more than
the shrinkage in the cattle. which VIII
be considerable. .3,s
