very pretty blouses, and are found to
launder better than the other colors.

BankO Man Fails on a Leaven-
worth County Scheme.
A "Green'' Swede Tries to Work
TOnganOxie People.
SCION OF NOBLE HOUSE
Claimed to Have Been Sent to
the United States to Buy.
Worked for Several Weeks but
Came Out Little Ahead.

Leavenworth. Kas., Jan. 2o.-The
Times says:
According to reports the good people
of Tonganoxie and vicinity came very
near being worked for a goodly sum by
a man named r. P. Ullhorn who repre-
scented himself to be a scion Of a noble
house in Sweden sent here to the United
States to purchase a ranch. He called
on a number of farmers In the vicinity
Of Tonganoxie and made arrangements
to buy up great amount of property.
but the Leavenworth countyans were
wise and all Mr.. Unhorn got out of his
attempt to swindIe was a few paltry
dollars and some free board.
The mans work has been recognized
and word has gone forth that he is
wanted elsewhere for trying the same
graft, but he has disappeared. His
trunk is in Tonganoxie but he didn't
have clothing enough in it to flag
handcar.
Ullhorn dropped into Tonganoxie a
few days before Christmas and repre-
scented to J. F. Dessery & Co. that he
had been referred to them by a Kansas
City firm. He stated that he came to
Kansas from Sweden to purchase a
ranch and wanted a good one. Line
RaIilH, Junior member of the firm, took
him to his house to board and began to
snow him the finest farms in the cOun-
". Buggy rides were the order of the
gay and feasting on the good things at
the farmers houses were much to the
liking of the innocent looking SWede
who had a dialect that would have put
Ole Olson to shame and made him look
bogus He first looked at the Dreisbach
farm and agreed to take $50 acres of
land for $4,000 He wished take possess
sion Immediately and pay next October,
a c11 Of nc
asked he was not there with the goods
and this spoiled the deal which might
have been gigantic swindle-
Later he purchased the LOOMS farm
on Stranger and went to Kansas City,
as he said, to consult the Swedish con-
sui before making a deposit. He did not
know anything about American ways
Of transacting business and wanted to
be posted.
But when he returned to Tonganoxie
he asked Mr.. Jacobs to show him the
Kahn farm near Reno. Terms were
agreed uO and Ullhorn presented de-
post slips from q bank at Scranton,
Iowa, for over $4,000 and another slip
for 1921 on a bank at Red Oaks, Iowa.
The deposits were made shortly before
the bank closed and J. c.. Laming ad-
Yanced $50 on them. Laming then tele-
graphed to the Iowa banks, but it being
Saturday he could receive no response
until Monday morning when the Red
Oaks bank notified him that the Swede
had beaten it out of SO and forged
draft on it for $1,000. Ullhorn got ia
cobs to go with him to Kansas City.
Kas., and Monday the deed was turned
over at Wyandotte for a check of IS, 245.
The deed to the Kahn farm was made
from Kahn brothers to name dictated
by Ullhorn and he now it in his posses
sion.
Ullhorn operated in Minnesota and
also swindled Kansas City bank out
of $40. He is wanted badly as he is
considered a dangerous criminal.

PROHIBITS BLOOMERs.
okIahoma's Chief Forbids Bifurcated
Garb for Girls in SCHOOL,.

Guthrie, Ok, Jan. Ex-Governor
Thompson B. Ferguson of Oklahoma has
set down his foot officially on the use Of
boomers by girls who attend the terri
torial educational institutions. During
the past month one of the schools mar
rOWly escaped scandal, it is said,
through a game of basket ball played
by the young women of the school in
boomers.
BY virtue of his Office Governor Fer
guson is at the head of all tina terri
torial educational institutions and re
garding the boomers incident he said
todax:
The boomers must go. While 1 am
in a position to do so 1 win see that our
institutions do not countenance such ap-
pareL 1 believe in the young WON an
and girls getting as much good as there
Is in physical culture and athletics, but
It is going too far when the young women
of the territorial schools get out in an
apparel such as is worn by the Boston
'Bloomers Baseball club an aggregation
of women that has Travelled extensively
over the territory during the past SEQ
son.
1t is not right that the school girls
should be the subject of ridicule. The
girls are not to blame. It is the school
and the parents who countenance such
things that are at fault. It is an m
justice to the young girls. 1 will put
stop TO 1t. Indeed, 1 have notified the
heads of the schools that there is to be
no more basket ball playing by Ol1lano-
mas daughters in boomers
When asked if there were any further
reforms of a similar nature he was con-
temDlatin$ in the schools OF the terri
tory he said: Yes, there is one matter
which has been called to my attention
It is the practice of many of our school
presidents and members of the faculties
of smoking in hotel Hobbies and in smok-
ing cars on the trains.
Smoking IS 4 matter Of personal DC
sire and right and 1 would question no
ones right to the pleasure of the weed.
However. it does not seem to me that
the heads of our schools and the oc~
cuDants Of the chairs of sciences can
afford to set any such example.
The teacher is taken as a model in
every sense of the word by the students
under him. principally because he is
their leader. For this reason he should
strive to set the best example possible
ana deny himself trif1ing pleasures
