best men connected with the sheriff :
office.
Mr. Frank Pumphrey, one of the
best known and oldest truckers in the
county, was the victim aud the deadly
assault was made at his farm across
Spa creek. The affair was not report :
ed TO the Sheriff until this morning
and although the men have good
start, there Is every reason TO believe
that they viii be apprehended.
Mr.. Pumphrey was in an upstairs
room of his house shortly after II
O'Clock last night and had gone 20 bed
He was aroused by loud knocking
at the door and going TO the window
saw two men standing at the door
He inquired their business and was
told that they wanted to purchase
corn. Mr.. Pumphrey told them that
nc had none. that he could not afford
TO sell them any. To this they replied
that they were contractors at the Naval
large number of horses which were
without feed. They were so insistent
on him coming downstairs and dis
cussing the matter that Mr.. Pumphrey
finally came downstairs aud stepnod

When he recovered from his condi.
tion the men told him that they want

had none in the house, to which they
replied that unless the money was
forthcoming they would kill him and
burn down the house. he still in
sisted that he had no money and they
told him that they would have TO
make search of the house. He was
taken into the house and made TO
find the keys TO the trunks. They
opened the trunks aud threw every.
thing IN wild confusion on the floor

the head OF the bed When the men
found that there was no money in the
house they left, after warning Mr..
Pumphrey not to raise any outcry.
They entered a wagon to which was
attached a gray horse and drove rapid
ly away. Before they we're off the
place Mr.. Pumphrey fired two barrels
of shot gun at them, but with what
result he could not @tell. He has
offered a reward of $50 for the capture
of the men and officers are hard at
work on the matter.
The men were made up as though
colored, but by their voices Mr.. Pun
phrey recognized them as white men.
This morning, after the excitement
had worn off Mr.. Pumphrey found a
blackened spot on his hand which had
evidently been received from the men
when he came in contact with them
the night before.

The Rest Cure.

Simple people find that It is impos
siblc to live the strenuous life without
taking periodic times Of complete rest
There Is no more fervent believer In
the rest cure than the Warehouses OF
Londonderry.
Lady Londonderry, than whom there
Is no more energetic woman nor one
whose beauty is better preserved, is
methodical taker of rest. She has
found It impossible to discharge her
cxacting social duties without taking
periodic days Of absolute rest.
In this way she is able to brace up
her nervous system and get through
an enormous amount of social and
philanthroplc work, says the Philadel.
phia Inquirer.
Sir John Cockburn also insists on
the need Of more sleep for everybody
He ridicules the old proverb, "Slx
hours for man, seven for woman and
eight for n fool"

Fashions In New York.

The new waist admits of an end.
less variety of trimming, but no
amount of ornament can conceal q
single false line. The lining must be
correctly cut and boned and fitted to
perfection. The material may be put
on either severely plain or softly
araped. The simple surplice effects
adapt themselves readily to the 1905
bodice, and by studied draping they
can be made becoming to the full fig
ure as well as to the slender one.
Sleeves continue full at the top.
The shirring down the center or
along the inner seam is varied by
gathering, cording or shocking or by
the newest device to secure the butter
fly effect This is a series of little
tucks two inches long, and taken
crossIise in the center of the upper
sleeve, much like the rungs Of lad
der Rufiles and puffs of lingerie,
falling over the lower arm, add a
graceful finish.
Very dainty and pretty are the lit
tie fuckers and chemisettes worn
with the open throated surplice and
draped bodice.
The demand for graceful spring at
the hip-line has revived the circular
and umbrella skirts, modified to meet
the present fashion for exaggerated
fulness about the feet. Most Of them
are plain at the top, but plaits, tiny
tucks and gauging in front and above
the hips are used for thin women.
Separate coats of linen are exceed
ingly smart.-From The Delineator.

For EVENING Wear.


For young girls who dress their hair
low a pretty fancy for evening is a
classic fillet or the more girlish Juliet
net. The fillet now in favor shows
very fine gold chain, plain or studded
with diminutive gems drawn across
the front of the hair, which should be
parted in the center and rolled simply
above the ears. The Juliet net covers
the crown of the head between the
low-dressed pompadour and the knot
on the neck. 1t looks not unlike a
spider web of fine gold or silver, and
wherever the chains cross there Is set
small jewel, such as pearl, rhine.
stone, turquoise, emerald, etc. Bar.
rettes are used only when the hair is
dressed high.
