Mr.. RICHARDS DENIES.
Says He Didn't Intend to Issue Def
to Shippers.

Colonel J. H. Richards, general at
torney for the Missouri Pacific, is in
Topeka today. He says that the al
legged interview, first published in
Kansas city paper in which he was
quoted as saying that the railroads
would fsht back in the contest which
the commercial interests of Kansas
have started, was accidental rather
was not intended as an interview but
was simply as explanatory Of what he
said in a little personal discussion
with a delegate to the federation con-
vention and was therefore wholly de-
fensive and not offensive" that he
had no intention whatever to issue a
def" or make any threats towards
shippers of any class
On the contrary, Colonel Richards
says that while he felt and had said
that the exceptionally bitter attack
being made upon the railroads of the
part of some Of the class of shippers
mentioned neither he nor his company
nor the railroads generally had any
quarrel with shippers in general.
That his company had recognized
that there were certain inequalities, as
for instance in the coal situation which
the railroads have just rectifed vol
That he feels and his company feels
that much more mutual good can be
accomplished in this way than by bel
HcOse controversy, and by taking il
into politics as an auxiliary to cam
paign argument by either political
party. and that he was not authorized
by any railroad company and had not
assumed to make a declaration of war

the idiosyncrasies of dress, but the
present CONNECTIONS are too exquisitely
dainty for such treatment.
The most bizarre combination is that
of applying linen hens on thin or lace
frocks. These linen hens can be made
in any width or color, but the dress I
am going to describe is of venetian
point with fat sun plated skirt fin
ished with a wide hem of palest pastel
pink linen. The skirt is of moderate
length, as are all the dressy creations
of the season. The bodice of this dress
is composed of plated lace, with hem
of linen at the decolletage. A short
bolero in the finest of malines with va
porous sleeves in three tiers of plated
founces opening at the shoulders and
held by a strapping of pink linen is
very effective part of the costume. A
high waistband of velvet several shades
darker than the linen adds a pretty
note of color.
This is a dinner dress destined to be
copied in nearly all the summer mate
rails. and if a 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 ac-
tual gown, and that is the corset to be
worn under it

truly say that have seen the flesh
cleared out of a turtle shell and hung
up on tree. where for hours the quiv-
ering, convulsive movements of the
muscles went on. Not only so, but on
one occasion only the head and tail
were left attached to the smell. Some
time had elapsed since the meat had
been cut out of the carapace, and no
one could have imagined that any life
remained in the extremities. But
young Dane, noticing that the down
hanging head had its mouth wide open,
very foolishly inserted two fingers be-

short; the edges of the turtles jaw
had taken them off clean with only the
muscular power remaining in the head.

off, and noted that it lived for twenty

whose brain he removed lived for six
months, apparently unconscious that
it had suffered any loss.-Leslte's
