SHERMAN COUNTY IN HISTORY
(Continued from first page. J

amount on August p, when Sherman
Center was really in for getting together
with Eustis, the town of Eustis would
be on the map to-day instead of Good
land. But just at this crisis new town
company was formed that did the
business.
E. F. Madden, of Hays City, and
A. B. Montgomery, bought some land
near by Sherman Center and persuaded
that town 70 join them, giving lot for
lot etc. These men also promised to
build a so, 600 court house, an 5000
Jail and pay of every cent of the county
debt in other towns. 1t must not be
lost sight Of that the H. U. A. was
the organization that controlled the
political affairs of the county, and as
soon as these organizations agreed to
join Montgomery and his followers, 1t
meant something in way of votes,
Eustis had thrown her opportunity
away and when the election was over,
GOOdland. the town made by Mont
gomery and Madden, was the county
seat of Sherman county.
For a time Eustis refused to give up
the county records. The court house
was fortified, rife pits were dug, and a
warlike appearance set in. Some cow
boys, for a stipulated sum of money,
offered to get the books away from
Eustis, and with this in mind, we quote
Mr.. Blackman:
Early one morning a number of
cowboys drove a team into the street at
Eustis, captured one of the old county
officials, forced him to mount the stairs
ahead of the cowboys and to unlock the
safe.
The cowboys were aware of the
guard across the street, and knew the
orders they had, but Hank Carpenter,
the leader, conducted the raid as though
he was ignorant of any danger. He
threatened to fire the town if shot was
fired, and declared he would shoot the
first man who showed his head.
1.-THE books were quickly loaded, and
not a man appeared until the rising
sun showed the departing cowboys. A
few shots were sent after them to arouse
the town, but it was too late; the county
seat was at GOodland, not only by a
majority vote but by right OfPOssessiOn,
which was more effective.
In two weeks from that day Eustis
was, as It still is, few deserted cellars.
Every building WAS removed to the new
town"
In his article Mr.. Blackman speaks
also of Billy Walker, Cal Russell,
Thomas Leonard, J. ". Cobbey and
others.

stock of these dainty dress accessories. 1 These lace ruffles, by the way, are most satisfactory when they are made up on l special little bands of their own into which they can be gathered or folded 1 so that they are complete in them selves. The band can then be tackled quite lightly into the sleeves and the whole thing can be easily removed to be washed or cleaned. Girls who may chance to have nice little pieces of real lace given to them, from time to time, as some lucky girls do should make a point of collecting and saving them carefully, with a view to the manu- facture of these dainty rufles in the immediate future.
 But to return once more to our sketch. whence 1 have wandered to give this little disquisition on the subject of rufies, the style of the graceful walk ing skirt is well worth noticing care fully. The wide flat pleats, which arc outlined with tailor stitching, run doWnwards from the waist. and give the effect of an overskirt, bordered along the edges by lines of stitching and groups of dull gold buttons. These pleats come only at the sides and back. leaving plain panel down the center of the front, and the skirt Is finished near the hem with double box-pleats to form a founce. At the waist there is wide rucking belt of white soft kid. drawn through a large buckle of dull gold
 In the matter of hats, mademoiselle will have wide choice this summer and she must indeed be very difficult to suit if she is not able to find something that will be specially becoming to her The hats with turn-down mushroom brims are not to be despised by any means for country wear, since they give good shade to the eyes while to the average girl they are quite sur prisingly becoming For morning wear they are pretty trimmed either with a very wide frayed-out ruche of glace silk or else with choux of soft satin ribbon, arranged round the crown in graduated sizes. For morning wear. also, the straw hats. trimmed only with straw are very appropriate. Sometimes the straw is arranged in the form of loops and bows rosettes, or buckles. In other cases the straw is worked up into the close semblance of punches of small flowers, tiny roses and rose-buds, for example. tinted In various eolors to match the straw hats upon which they will be used for trimmings.

often as it might be- think, for smart but useful summer petticoats. The three full fiounces, at the hem, are sewn on to deeper flounce. which should be protected underneath by a second thickness of the material sim ply hemmed. These fiounces might have three little tucks to border the hem of each, or, if a still smarter effect is aimed at. each fiounce might be adorned with three rows of white satin baby ribbon.
 An idea which might appeal to some girls would be to have the petticoat it. self of white alpaca, and then arrange the deep fiounce and the three small frills in white glace silk, so that the effect is that of silk skirt, while the cost is considerably less, and the dura- bility considerably greater. This idea might be carried out. of course. equally well in colors, as in white. with the ad- vantage that the colors. unless very pale shades were chosen, would be fal more economical than white.

y, now also that fashion seems to look so kindly upon the many charming modes which are eminently suitable from the very fact of their simplicity, to the special requirements of mademoselle. Just now, when the summer season is almost upon us with its wealth of light and dainty materials for charming and inexpensive gowns. seems an appropri- ate time to say something to the girls along that line.
 To the girl who is going away for the summer to the seashore or lake or mountain resort. or the girl who is to spend the months at home, some thing quite new and very pretty in the way of dainty dressing jacket should prove specially interesting. It is just such a jacket as this which our artist has illustrated in one of the ac- companying sketches. and although the design is an exceptionally pretty one the jacket might nevertheless be very successfully attempted by clever home dressmaker, such as many of the girls of the present day have proved themselves to be
 The material suggested for the dress ing jacket in question is one of the new patterns in Viyella, with little punches of flowers in pale shades of pink and green. scattered over an iyory-white background The jacket is prettily gathered on cords all the way round. the cords going across the back and front, and also along the top of the sleeve. The collar is of fine muslin or lawn, with white embroideries It Is. of course, detachable. as it will proba- ply need to be washed more often than the jacket itself. If embroidered lawn is not forthcoming the collar might be made out of two embroidered hand kerchiefs, cut across diagonally, so that they make four points This collar is finished in front In quite a new way, with large buttons covered with rib bon, and sewn in the center of ribbon rosettes, which are then finished with loops and ends. The sleeves are drawn into band of embroidered lawn, and finished with kilted lawn frills. and TO- settes and loops of ribbon to match the trimming in front
 This delightful little jacket for smart occasions, but for those who prefer something of a simpler kind the same idea might be carried out very success fully in floral Viyella. without any rib bon trimming, and with collar and cuffs of plain cream Viyella outlined with feather-stitching or narrow cream silk washing braid. The petticoat which has been sketched with this dressing jacket would be very suitable for early summer wear, made in fine white all Uaca, a material which is not used as

A short time ago he posted in his shop window notice which read as follows: Boy wanted about If years. lad of that age, with little that was prepossessing in his appear ance, came into the office and stated that he had read the notice.
 Well, do you think you would like to have the position. my boy?" asked the merchant. gazing patronizingly over the rims of his spectacles at the unabashed youth.

By using the skin of pig two months old the life of Mary Grant, a colored woman of Richmond, Va, has been saved. Some weeks ago the wom- an was fearfully burned about the body by the explosion of lamp. Much of her skin was destroyed. and could not be replaced by nature. Efforts were made to get her relatives to supply the necessary cuticle for grating, but they objected.
