Jim MEDICINE KILLED.

A half.breed Indian, generally
known as Indian JIM" was killed
near the Murphy & Freil crusher by
the l1:22 Frisco passenger Sunday
night, says the Galena Times. The
body was terribly mangled, pieces
being strewn along the track for a
distance of seventy yards. The en-
tire left eide of the head and face
was torn off, the body was cut In
two at the waist and one leg was cut
of, being found quite a distance
from the other parts of the body.
The RENAME were taken to Boice's
undertaking rooms.
The Indian's real name 10 Jim
Medicine, and he was a member OF
, the Quapaw tribe. He owned about
200 acres of land near Peoria. l. T.
where shallo " lead was found a year
or two ago, and has received con.
siderable money in mining royal
ties from his land. He tried to sell
.his farm few years ago, but the de.
partment of the interior refused to
sanction the sale, az he sold all his
property, and an Indian is only al.
lowed to sell a portion of ground
given him by the govrnment. He
also sold at a lower rate than fixed
by government appraisement. For
these reasons he was unable to give
. a deed to the lands sold. He had ar
ranged with the purchasers to live
.on the place until the amount paid
him could be realized from the
farm products.
Medicine has wife and sister
or two living near Peoria. He came
here about two years ago and has
been living with a white woman
named Lizzie Evans, near Bonanza.
about mile northwest of Galena.
The Evans woman has two children
of her own. She and Medicine had
never gone through the formality OF
q marriage ceremony.
tits said that Medicine came to
Galena Sunday night and partook
very freely of fire-water. He was
pretty well under the influence OF
liquor, when he was found BY an
officer and started toward home.
The officer walked with him for
quite a distance and asked him
fellow If he could get home all right,
TO which the Indian grunted Eyes"
The train which killed Medicine
was No. 32S. the Kansas City pas
senger, which leaves here at 1l:22.
The tarin was in charge of Con-
ductor Ed Keeling and Engineer

holding this position when he died.
His remains were laid to rest at

friends wherever he went, but no
enemies, and will be sadly missed

New WAYS to Serve Potatoes.

Potato Pancakes.-For these somewhat
novel kind of pancakes ten large. good po-
tatoes will be required. Pare and CRATE
be done rapidly. SO that they may not be-
come discolored. Drain and press off the
water, add four Well-beaten eggs and one
teaspoonful of salt Melt a teaspoonful Of
butter in a hot frying pan, put in large
spoonful of the potato batter, spreading 1t
out over the bottom of the pam Brown
quickly. turn and let it brown on the other
side. Transfer to hot plate and while
cooking another cake spread the first with
marmalade or jelly, as preferred. AS they
are cooked pile them on one another with
the jelly between and dust the top with fine
sugar. Send them to table cut into three
cornered slices.
Potato Cakes.-Making potatoes into
cakes forms a nice variation from the ordi-
nary method of serving them. For the fol-
lowing recipe the potatoes must be boiled
In their skins. When they are Thoroughly
cooked remove the skins and rub the pota-
toes through sieve Four large ones make
a sufficient quantity for ordinary use. Add
two we'll beaten eggs and one teaspoonful
together one cupful of flour, one cupful of
cornstarch and two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder. Add these to the potato mixture
and mix together. If 1t Is too wet stir in
more cOrnstarch until the whole forms a
soft dough. Roll out on the pastry board
and cut into cakes with round cutter and
bake them in a quick oven.
Potato RisSoles.-Boil some potatoes until
tender, then mash them; add some finely
chopped parsley and onion. season well
with salt and pepper, form into balls flour
and fry brown.

MORE BEAUTY DON'TS
FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO HAVE
GOOD HAIR.
Daily Massage and the Use Of Tonic
Are Indispens-
able.

Written for The Evening Star.
Don't brush the hair only. Brush the
scalp until it elows.
Don't brush the hair roughly. Let the
motion of the hand be light and gentle.
Don't brush the hair in any other direc-
ton than the way in which it grows.
Don't think that you must not brush the
hair because it is falling out
AS a rule, don't wash the hair oftener
than once a month. Too frequent washing
makes it dry.
Don't use too much soap, borax soda
when taking a shampoo. Substitute yolk
of egg. If the hair is naturally oily, use
only the white Of the egg.
Don't fail to rinse with clear water and
to rub on little Oil after shampoo.
Don't rub the hair briskly with towels
after washing it. There is danger of break
ing the long hairs. Absorb the moisture
carefully with warm towels.
Don't neglect daily massage of the scalp
with the tips of the fingers dipped in cold
water; or use clean nail brush.
Don't fail to apply tonic to hair and
scalp at least once a week
Don't SINCE or clip the ends of the hair.
Don't use a coarse brush, but one that
has long, fine, unbleached and undyed
bristles.
Don't buy cheap dressing comb 1t pays
TO Duy SOOu HeXfDle tortoise shell comb,
even II you must do with one dress the less
during the year
Don't wear the hair always in the same
style. change of mode is beneficial
Don't tie the hair or roll or twist 1t in
any way tightly. This strains the roots of
the hair. and is very injurious
Don't use many hairpins. If each pin is
made to do its duty, and the hair is arrang-
ed to fit the head, few pins will be needed
Don't use metal or wire hairpins of any
kind. They are ruinous to the hair Use

Young Wives Should Remember

That necessities should be selected before
decorative articles of furniture.
That 1t is not wise to provide too many
pots kettles and pans when furnishing a
kitchen.
That it is always decidedly cheaper In the
end to buy only good carpets and good fur
niture.
That no matter how good the income a
small sum should be put aside regularly for
the proverbial rainy day.
That simple dinner well served is de-
cidedly more enjoyable than an elaborate
dinner poorly served.
That a practical knowledge Of ECONOMY
of good cookery will be absolutely neces-
sary for the young housewife, no matter
how much help" she can afford to keep
That all bills for marketing should be paid
weekly, or. better STILL when the articles
are bought.
That with care and economy q small
amount Of money will do wonders.
That 1t is important to be systematic in
looking after the leftovers.
That all cold vegetables and scraps OF
meat may be used In soups and salads ana
croqnettes and many appetizing ways too
numerous to mention.

idea is to cut a Greek pattern in coarse

Russian Peasant Women.

From the Anglo Russian.
By a newly enacted Russian law a peas
ants wife, on showing to the district judge
d. instruction that she is habitually ILL
treated by her husband, or that he will not
support her, and makes her the drudge for
his own support. can demand a separate
passport. with which she is at liberty to
leave her oppressor and earn a living else
where. Hitherto there was no possible re-
dress or release for the longsuffering vic
tim so long as it was obligatory that the
wifes name was entered in the husbands
passport and papers of legitimation Any
one at all intimately acquainted with vii
lage life in Russia will readily appreciate
the relief this brings to tens of thousands
of peasant women who are the grievousiy
abused domestic slaves and beasts Of bur-
den to their drunken and brutal eonJugai

A White Enamel Touch.

A pretty finish for a shabby dressing
table Is a coat Of white enamel. Two
coats Of the paint will make smooth and
shining surface. The old paint should be
removed from the wood and its surface
thoroughly smoothed with fine sandpaper.
A coat Of shellac varnish applied and al
lowed to dry before the enamel goes on is
said to improve the appearance OF the table.
The enamel is put on with fine, stiff
brush. The metal handles on the drawers
can be frightened with gold paint The

amateur cabinetmaker.

velvet several shades darker than the linen
adds pretty note of color.
This is dinner dress destined to he cop
led in nearly all the summer materials, and
if guimpe and close fitting sleeves be added
the gown is ready for dual service.
There is one thing to study just now
which is more important than the actual
gown. and that is the corset to be worn I'M
der it
That the straight front effects have in
fiuenced the present fashions goes without
saying, and beautiful frock owes much
of its chic to this support
We must be slender without pronounced
forms of any description, neither hips nor
chest nor rounded outline back or front.
There is a corset suitable for every one,
but 1 must say the sylphlike creatures are
having things all their own way; still even
a stout woman If her waist and hips are
shapely and her bust not pushed up, may
look elegant nowadays. The perfect cor
set for a thin person emphasi sizes the hips
and has a high bust which is well curved
out. and when made for extremely thin
people the bust and hips are padded.
Grace for the Fat Lady.
BY means of these savers of grace and
carefully designed gowns fat women ap-
pear but pleasingly covered, and slight fig
ures take on curves of beauty.
To come back to the fascinating topic of
frocks. the dressmakers are having trou-
plain, and quite reasonably. about the
amount of work demanded Of them and the
illogical behavior of their fair clients who
grumbe at having to pay higher price.
At least two extra yards of material are
required this year for gown, not to speak
of the work in fagoting, tucAing and hand
stitching of all kinds.
Well. madame sees the lovely results and
never degns to give a thought to the wo-
men behind the stitches.
Spots | have said before are to be
tremendously popular. Foulard, of course,
is admirable foundation for big spot.
There is something especially fetching
about brightly spotted silk, and a gown
l the other day was a study in tones
The dress was fashioned Of white fou-
lard with black spots almost as large as
one of your American quarters The skirt,
shirred in a ra ther deep yoke, had an in
sertion of white lace let in above a wide
hem. The bodice also shirred around
the neck. from which hung a ruffie headed
by pipings of light blue and orange colored
panne velvet. This original scheme of color
appeared in the high belt and upon the
sleeves.
Smart women are beginning to realize
what a useful material flannel is and are
