Edward o. Farmer must answer to
the district court for the manner in
which he collected an amount he
claimed to be due him by. c. D. Prath-
er in November, 1899. It is alleged
that he used revolver with which to
beat and threaten his debtor. He es-
capped at the time and remained in
hiding until last month, when he was
arrested at Buffalo, Wyo, and brought
back. Yesterday he was given a pre-
liminary examination before Justice
Mann, who bound him over in the sum
of $500. The charge is robbery.

ARE HOME AGAIN.

Senator Yegen and Representative
6ever Return-Promise Made Good
From Mondays Daily Gazette.
Senator Yegen and Representative
Bever, the two members of the legis-
lature from this county, returned last
night. Both were leading men Of the
bodies to which they were elected
last November and as result of their
labors secured the passage of meas
ure providing for the establishment
of an agricultural experiment station
near the city. The station was prom
ised to the people of the county last
fall by Mr.. Yegen when he solicited
their support at the polls and through
out the entire session the senator
never for once relaxed his efforts to
secure favorable action on the meas
ure designed to materially aid the
agricultural interests of this part of
the state.
Now that the experiment station
near the city is authorized by law,
Senator Yegen intends to at once
press the claims of this locality in
the matter of securing government
aid. Several months ago while that
gentleman was east he took occasion
to call at the agricultural department
at the national capital in the interest
of the proposed station in the Vel
lewstone valley. He then received
assurances that if the state legislature
acted favorably on the proposition
that the department would recognize
the claims of this particular section
OF the arid west. Senator Yegen will
now take up the matter with the de-
partment.
The law enacted by the legislature
provides that the governor shall ap-
point three commissioners to super
wise the work of the station. In all
probability Senator Yegen will be
named as chairman of that body.

BENSON CAUGHT Al LAST
MAN WHO MURDERED HIS JAIL.
Err AGAIN IN CUSTODY.
Man Says General Jail Delivery Was
Planned and He Drew Short Straw
and Struck the Blow.

Tacoma, Wash, March S.-A special
to the Ledger from Olympia says
Christ Benson, the murderer of Jailer
Morrell, was captured about o'clock
tonight by Sheriff Mills and posse at
"a deserted mill few miles from the
city. -e
Earlier in the evening Benson was
discovered in the mill and the sheriff
summoned. On arriving at the mill
the sheriff unlocked the door, pushed
it open and commanded Benson to
throw up his hands and come out.
The murderer did as he was told and
offered no resistance to being hand
cuffed. He was then brought to Olym-
pia and lodged in jail
There was great excitement in the
city when it became known that Ben
son was in Jail and some talk of lynch
ing but no one was willing to act as
leader and the sentiment generally
was in favor of allowing the law to
take it's course, and the sheriff took
no extra precautions for the safety
of his prisoner.
Benson is nervous wreck as the
result of his long efforts in eluding
his pursuers. For the past week he
has put in most of his time in the
brush. He claims general Jail
break had been planned and that he
did not intend to kill Jailer Morrell.
Benson in telling the story of the
murder tonight implicated three other
prisoners in plot to break Jail.
Straws were drawn to see who should

ly that a woman should become graceful
by practicing graceful movements.
You would not expect a man who was
compelled to carry heavy weights to be re-
m.rkable for his grace.
But you might expect a cotillon leader,
one who practices dancing, to excel In beau
tiful motions.
You would not ask q professional ham
mer-thrower to give an exhibition OF DELI
cccy and grace, nor yet man whose work
1t is to drive spiles. or to do any other
heavy manual labor.
The graceful people are those who prao-
tice graceful motions. who do, graceful
tasks every day, who try to be- graceful,
who study 1t and who become. by practio-
ing grace. proficient in the art just as ono
becomes proficient in any other art.
1t is a question of practice. as you sec.
This theory is quite different one from
the theory usually advanced for physical
culture for women. 1t used to DO thought
that woman must become strong without
regard to grace.
1t was the prevalent idea that the athletic
girl must necessarily be unlovely to look
upon.
1t was firmly believed that to be healthy
n woman could not be beautiful.
And that, the first step toward health and
beauty was the casting off of ones stays.
the taking off of ones pretty Shoes the dis
carding of belts and all snug fitting bands.
and the wearing of shoes. gloves and hats
a great deal too big for one.
Very often the athletic girl adopted a
slouchy kind of blouse and wore a skirt
that was too short to be conventional. z.
KEPT HER FIGURE CONVENTIONAL.
But the young woman who flew from
awkwardness to grace began by keeping on
her corsets.
She loosened them and adopted a kind OF
corset that while conventional, was not
too high, too long nor too heavily boned.
She kept her figure conventional as far as
possible, and then. throwing away her
weights. her vaulting poles. her horizontal
bars and rings. she went in for grace Just
by using her arms and her legs and exer-
cising her body as 1t should be exercised.
This young woman was naturally very
unfortunate in her figure.
She was fiat In the chest and rather full
across the hips.
This made her appear at a disadvantage.
Instead of being top-heavy, she was too
heavy In the body, and she moved in q lum-
bersome way. as those move who are too
thick below the waist line.
But she took the flying exercise the
pretty. graceful flying movements which are
so admirable in the line of physical Gull
ture.
She began by standing upon a small
footstool and extending hef arms nrst to
one side and then to the other

piettier gestures. and as IL her hands be-
longed to her instead Of belonging to some
one else-an uncomfortable feeling from
which she had too often suffered.
This young woman danced with her feet
and danced with her arms, swaying them
over her head as in a Spanish fandango,
and she skipped and ran about and jumped
up and did many other things. always
working in curves and not in straight lines.
Sometimes, out on the lawn. she put on
a sweater and pitched light rubber ball
just to occupy her mind, while she was ex-
ercising for grace. but she did not do it
mechanically or heavily, for she knew that
this would make her awkward instead Of
easy in her movements.
This young woman had learned the new
cult, which says that woman to be at
tlactive must possess three qualities.
She must- have grace. she must have
strength and she must have health. These
three things give beauty.
Not strength alone. nor health alone. nor
coarse. rough body motions; but the soft.

were q flying machine just going into ac-
ton.
One Of her greatest troubles lay in keep
ing her balance while upon her toes. but
she tried 1t and tried 1t until she could
stand on the balls Of her feet and breathe
easily with her arms outstretched. while
she counted ten CT twelve, according to the
luck she had in getting the right poise.
Then she tried another movement. which
was much more difficult.
Standing squarely upon ono foot, she
threw the other foot behind her and out
stretched both arms.
This gave her body poise and freedom Of
action with the arms.
She stood this way while she waved her
arms backward and forward as though she
were flying machine with fappable wings;
then she stood upon the other foot and did
the. same thing.
SO. WHAT IT DID FOR HER.
It was great practice. and, after the exer-
Csc hour was over she felt, somehow, as
though she could move about mora grace
folly. lift her arms more easily and with

hold it in admiration.
There is another story to tell Of the
graceful. strong, healthy girl
And this Is the, story Of love.
Men fall in love with graceful women. not
with awkward ones; they admire women
healthy; they admire and love women who
can be athletes without looking as though
they were such.

|: whose hands are hard as 4 rock and whose
skin looks as though weather-beaten.
No. a man likes the soft-handed girl, the

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
HIS is the story of a girl who
was once SO awkward that it
was painful to look upon her.
She was a .healty girl. full of
athletics and so fond of outdoor
exercise that she simply could not stay IN
the house.
Yet with 1t all she was painfully awk-
ward.
Her athletics. instead of improving her.
had only made her great deal worse.
This young woman had to learn the lesson
OF the. present-day physical culturists.
which is that true physical culture means
not awkw ardness. but grace.
1t means that. as one progresses physi-
cally. one becomes prettier: it means that
the girl who goes in her body building and
body reducing must so in at the same time
for grace Of body.
Otherwise her work is all lost.
Strength and beauty must go together.
In these days 1t is not the strong woman
who wins your approval.
1t Is not the woman who can walk ten
miles in the morning and bob UP in the aft
ernoon ready to walk ten miles more.
1t Is not the woman who can lift ton
weight and cry that she can yet lift one
more pound without tottering.
1t Is not any or all of these women that
are the most admired of her sex.
On the contrary. it is the woman who
builds herself up along graceful beautiful
lines who is admired. not the one who is
healthy and strong by mere brute force.
In Vienna there is a new kind of physical
culture now being taught. which is SO much
like one that was in vogue in ancient Rome
that the two seem allied in every way.
This Viennese doctrine. as 1t may be
called. teaches that woman must learn to
be graceful. must learn to be pretty. must
learn to be pleasing and must learn to
charm II
These are the things that come FIRST of
ali.
incidentally, while learning the other
things. she will learn to be healthy and TO
be strong.
AN EASY ROAD TO GRACE
Physical culture is taught not by lifting
weights, but by lifting the body upon tho
.oes, by balancing upon one foot and upon
the other. by swaying the arms and by
running and Jumping and taking many
other bodily movements.
All violent exercises arc forbidden.
Dumb-bells are thrown away. heavy
weights are not allowed in the gymnasium,
rings and poles for swinging and vaulting
are put aisle. and the pupil substitutes for
all Of these system of bodily exercise
which. in the end. turns her out strong In
muscle and beautiful in body.
And is not this according to reason. name

Now, these are things you must learn 70
do IL you would fly from awkwardness to
grace.
Learn to stand on one foot, with the othes
foot lifted behind you and both arms OUT
stretched.
Learn to balance yourself on your toso

Learn TO sway the arms in rhythmic time
over your head. and learn TO dance q little
while you sway your arms.

ERROR OF PILOT.
Four Masted Schooner Helena Mauc
Ashore on ShoveIfu ShoaI.

Chatham. Mass, May 29.-As the result

Maud, from Newcastle, n. T., for New
York with cargo of 1athS went ashore,
early Friday. on ShoVelful Shoal The YES
sci stove several holes in her hull and Sin"
| filled with water. The captain and crew
were forced to abandon the schooner and
they were taken off by Capt Kelley and
his men of the Monomoy Point life saving
station. The vessel will probably prove a
total loss.
| The Helena Maud cleared from NeWcas-
| tie. May 10. arli had an uneNentful pas
sage down the coast. 1t WAS just after
O'Clock. Friday morning. when the vessel
WAS sailing fast on the wind that she
struck with great force on ShoVClful ShcIl.
The tide WAS low at the time. In a few
moments water began pouring into the
hold of the vessel and soon had risen al
| most to the deckline Capt Trenholm
/ his men got some of their effects ready for
II quick departure. There was some dan
ger on account of tle pounding of the YES
| sci that she would go to pieces very soon.
