herself, is whether it will not be wiser
to buy one Of the pattern suits of which
there Is such an abundance, rather than
to attempt to put in medallions, inser-
tons and patterns of lace. Some Of the
pattern gowns are very handsome, and it
Is possible to buy designs that are not at
all common, so there will be no danger
of coming upon duplicate of your gown.
Many linen colored wash pattern gowns
combine two kinds of linen, and the way
in which the two goods are employed is
very ingenious. The embroidery will be
very heavy, possibly wreaths Of flowers,
the center of the wreath having a piece
inset of coarser linen than that Of the
gown. The same coarser stuff often will
form an insertion between two rows OF
embroidery put on in irregular pattern
round the skirt at the knees. This trick
is very pretty, and if it is desired, it Is
best to buy the gown ready to make up,
Some linen gowns in shades of dark
blue are exceptionally dainty. They are
serviceable, too for the color does not
allow them to show soil easily, and they
have such a pretty surface as to escape
altogether rough and ready look. A
handsome gown of dark blue linen had
medallions of Mexican drawn work inset
at odd places all over it, and wherever
these medallions appeared they were sur
rounded with clusters of French knots.
These knots were made of two threads
twisted together one black and one
white, so that the black and white effect
was carried out very daintily. A hand
some red is being used a deal in linen
suits too, and it trims very finely with

HEAVY IS The LOSS
or SHOPS. BY FIRE.
Seaboard Loss is Enormous
Thereby.
AMOUNTS TO ALMOST A MILLION
Shops, Minor Offices, Warehouse and
Other Property Go Up In Flames
Burpee of Americus Hurt Much
Work to Come Here.

News received in Americus yester-
day morning of the wholesale destruc-
fion at the main shops of the Seaboard
Air Line of Portsmouth is of much in
terest here, where the company also
has large shops, and the heavy loss
sustained, amounting probably to $3.50, =
600, is regretted by friends of the
company here.
The fire broke out late hour, and
the destruction was complete.
The shops, minor offices, warehous-
es and other big buildings were prac-
tically destroyed. Fire depar tments
of half dozen towns lent assistance,
but could do little good.
A fierce windstorm ragged at the time
and carried the flames in all directions
The fire was started in small frame
structure in the shops yard, in which
was stored some dried lumber. This
burned like finder and the flames
spread rapidly. Several men were
badly hurt while fighting fire.
Mr.. w. Fl, Burpee, formerly OF
Americas but transferred to Ports
mouth some time since, was seriously
hurt, his head being lacerated consid-
erably by broken glass.
Three hundred men will be thrown
out of employment.
The wrecking shed, stationery ware
house, paint. and oil house, office
building of superintendent of wood
wook, large brick building for pas
senger and sleeping care, in which was
located the painting shop, carpenters
and cabinet makers shop, fifty box
cars and eighteen passenger coaches
were destroyed.
Many employees in the Americus
shops, formerly employed at Ports
mouth, are familiar with the surround
ings there and discussed the confagra-
ton with interest.
In view of the destruction of the
main shops 1t is altogether probable
that the Americas shops will now get
the greater portion of repair work for
the entire system, which will greatly
increase the working forces here in all
departments, and afford rush work for
many months to come.
Notice to this effect has not yet been
given, SO far as known here, but this
seems to be the supposition among
railroad men.

GOES TO THE WEST
TO FIND Mr.. DENT.
Piano Dealer Is Coming tt
Americas.
TO ANSWER TO MANY CHARGE:
Former Resident Here Is Found In
California and Viii BE Brought Here
BY Deputy Gatewood on Criminal
Warrant.

81. T. Dent was arrested today on a
warrant charging him with defrauding
banks in Americas, GA. He acknowl-
edged his guilt and Will be taken back
to Georgia for trial"
Such was the brief information con-
tanned in the press dispatches yesterday
morning. 1t was not long item, but
nothing published lately created half as
much interest in Americas, and it was
soon the talk of the town and very gen
orally discussed.
This particular dispatch was dated
Reddipg, California.
But Tlmbuctoo or Kalamazoo
date line would have caused no sur
prize at all here If 1t located j. 7. Dent
IN either place
Every body in Americus knows Dent,
and large percentage of these are de-
lighted to know that he is coming
back, even if Deputy Sheriff Gatewood
did have to go to the Pacific coast af-
ter him. They many not be any rich
er thereby, but they want to see Dent
And some of the banks here are even
more anxious than the ordinary indl-
vidual to see him.
For it is alleged that forgeries COM
mitted by Dent, the high joss of the
piano company here by that name,
cost as least two of the local banks the
loss of several hundred dollars, hence
their impatient desire to welcome the
musical wanderer.
And a substantial cash reward will
be paid for his capture.
When j. 7. Dent left Americus some
three months ago many here who
mOurned his departure wondered
whittier he travelled. Quite recently
the officers of the Bank of Commerce
learned that he was in Redding, Cal.
And at once the authorities there
were ordered to arrest him.
AS luck would have it Judge J. A.
Hixon, of Americas, who is in Califor-
MIA on business, learned of the capture
of Dent, and knowing that he was
wanted IN Americas Mr.. Hixon went tC
Redding, Identified Dent, and is chap.
Ply On the way" here with him.
At least that was the supposition il
Americas yesterday.
But there are many here who do no
believe that Dent will come back with
out making a fight against it, resortine
to habeas corpus procee iings or some
other impediment.
Deputy Sheriff Gatewood left ester
day at 3 p m. for Ell Paso, where b,
expects to meet Judge Hixon, will
Dent in custody
Deputy Gatewood will reach Ell Pas
Wednesday, aud it will be next Satur
day or Monday, perhaps, before he ar
rives with his prisoner. But 1t may b
put down as fact that Dent is no
coming back to Americas if the retur
trip can possibly be avoided
Mr.. Frank Sheffield stated yesterda
that the charge preferred against Der
is that of forgery and that the cas-
would be prosecuted. There may h
others here as we'll who will preft
charges against him
