WORKED A PIPE DREAM
Woman Fabricates n story of Coming
Marriages ana GETS n Large
WardrObe.

An Indianapolis girl conWred up a re-
markable fabrication OF stories, sensation
ally and pathetically reciting the romance
of a mythical fiance and broken we'd
ding, for the unique purpose of inducing
her mother to buy her clothes. The young
woman Miss Mabel Jones, bought herself
an engagement ring with her savings
and then, after having accomplished her
purpose toward replenishins her wardrobe
sent herself telegram announcing that
her lover had been killed by fall from
a horse 1t has now developed that Miss
Jones love affair had no existence except
in her own fervid Imagination.
The truth was finally wrung from Miss
Jones, after she had been subjected to a
most severe cross-examination by the very
men she had implicated in the affair by
the use Of their names. So trying was the
ordeal that Miss Jones mother, Mrs. Frank
Arbuckle, swooned in the midst of the
questioning and was revived only after an
hours arduous work. A state of collapse
followed, and early this morning she was
again unconscious.
With her mother unconscious on the
floor and the other members OF her family
imploring her to tell the truth Miss Jones
sobbingly confessed that the story of her
contemplated wedding was manufactured
by herself; that she had pougf1t her own
engagement ring and even written, with
her own hand, the telegram telling of her
sweetheart's tragic death.
Continued questioning. much the same as
that to which a witness on cross-exanina-
tion is subjected, began to have its effect
on Miss Jones. She showed signs Of waver-
ing, and just then her mother swooned.
This wruns the truth from the young
woman.
First of all she admitted that the we'd
ding story was pure fabrication. She
said she wanted more and nicer dresses
and that she had created the wedding
myth in order to induce her parents to buy
her expensive dresses. She told them she
had met a man named Benjamin, from
st. Louis, who was a high oficial of the
Canadian railroad. and that he was going
to call Miss Jones afterward explained
that she had got Benjamin's address from
a railroad folder. which Benjamin had left

| sisted on knowing more about her St
Louis admirer. Miss Jones told of numer.
Gus kilograms and letters she had received
both from him and from his mother. Fl.
| nally she announced that the wedding wal
set for June H. and she produced a hand
some diamond ring. which she said was 4
betrothal gift from her sweetheart.
To make her story good, she carried
home a picture, which she said had beer
sent her This was Constantines picture
which had come into her possession. Tn,
wedding ring had been purchased with hel
own money. These facts were admitted
between sobs as Miss Jones continued hei

SOME DELUSIONS OF DIET
Fictitious Names Applied TO Much of
What is I'm Common Use
at the Table.

George X Holmes. chief of division Of
foreign markets, bureau of statistics, OF
the United States Department of Agricul-
ture, prepared for the~year book OF the
department a treatise on the peculiarities
OF consumers in their systems OF market
ing and the delusions they allow them
selves to be placed under or blunder into
themselves. The digest has been considered
serviceable for reprinting in pamphlet
form under the title OF Consumers Fam
cies"
The pamphlet points out the mistake peo-
pie OF small means make in always Sc
lectlng the choice or most expensive cuts
OF meats, when many of the unsought
cheaper parts of the animal are equally
or even more nutritious. 1t quotes a
meat trades journal on recent prices as
follows: Poterhouse steak, 20 cents; prime
rib, Is cents; sirloins, l2l5 cents; round, s
cents; rump. 7 cents; neck pieces, about
cents. per pound, respectively. II COM
ments in the following strain:
Although epicureans admit and chem
lists demonstrate that the neck piece is
toothsome and nutritious, Il bears the low
est price. In fact It would hardly be
considered respectable to ask the butcher
for a piece OF the neck. Perhaps a low
| order of proficiency In the housewife
cooking In the past gave the neck piece
its low place. The story might have been
different had the housewife OF former
times possessed the French HOUSEWIFE
ability to utilize meats in the making OF
attractive and delicious dishes" The point
/ OF the argument is that cheap cuts are
as good as dear when judieiously Sc
lected and properly cooked.
The pamphlet also treats OF the delusior
that exists in the terms applied to va,
| rious subsistence commodities by which
] their sale Is Influenced. Note the follow.
Ing: THE amount OF Canada lamb SOLD
In the United States is enormous. The
word Canada has the same magical effect
upon lamb prices that the word Philadsl
phia has upon spring poultry or tha
Long Island on fresh eggs These hc
tions seem 20 sell the product and the
eating public appears to feel satisfied
| BY tacking the word Canada onto hi
product the butcher Is enabled TO get
cents more per pound for It. OF. II he ad
heres 10 the normal prices his customer
think they are getting something unusua
for their money. In certainly 5 per cen
OF the cases they are setting plain domesti
lamb. and about fifty times out Of lOo\ ar
not getting lamb at all. but mere mutton.
Many other commodities are set fortl
under their respective delusive titles will
the same unreserved treatment OF the de
eePions Dractieed In regard to them.

and dificult. but he and his force have
worked industriously. not resting even on
Sundays. and the people here are much
pleased with his efforts. and they are hop
ing that when his report is made steps will

(From a Stan Correspondent.)


LINCOLN, Neb.. July 3O.-(Special.) Not
withstanding a former off-hand opinion that
the special act changing the terms of
county commissioners would obviate the
necessity Of nominating and electing those
officers this year, It is now intimated that
this is a mistake, and that the law simply
has the effect OF changing the terms OF the
officials so that they must be chosen again
this fall. This is the view which has been
taken by Representative Warner OF Lancas-
ter county, one of the introducers OF the
various biennial election measures. II is
explained that the defect in the commission
BILL which is a special measure, arises from
the fact that the omnibus biennial bill had
referred to the election Of commissions and
fixed the date on even numbered years
With this fact In mind the provision was
omitted from the special act Several Ian
caster county men interested in the matter
have been advised by Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Thompson that IL will be necessary to
place the names of candidates for commits

RIHemen to Compete.

Monday morning the state rife competi-
tion for the choice of members OF the Ne
braska team to Sea Grit N j., will begin
at Kearney. The range is on an island In
the middle of the Platte river, so that there
is no danger of damage from stray bullets.
The revolving Texas targets are to be used.
Four have been put in place, so that num-
ber OF squads can be at work at one time.
These targets are made to rotate on a pivot
at the center in such way that the marker
in the pit does his work while the most
recently used end of the target is down,
thereby obviating all danger.
The contest. which will last during the
greater part Of the week, is for the purpose
of choosing fifteen marksmen from the Ma
tional Guard to attend the national COM
petition. There is considerable rivalry
among the thirtyfour or thirty-five par
ticipants for the Nebraska honors, since it
is understood that President Roosevelt
takes a personal interest in craftsmanship
among the soldiers, and may attend the
contest at Sea Grit for at least one day.
Lieutenant Colonel Mclaughlin, inspector
Of small arms practice in the National
Guard, has been assigned to have charge
of the contest.

ing to advices reaching Game Commissioner
Carter it is planned to secure the installa-
ton Of daily train service in place of the

WIZ Lincoln Get New Omcest

There is some talk among local Burling-

counting service of the road will be removed
from Chicago to Lincoln. This change
would involve the transfer of the clerical
force in the Office, numbering about $50
persons. There is considerable speculation
as to the changes which would ensue and
among other things it is claimed that there
is a possibility that Superintendent Barnes
Burlington transportation service will be
brought to Lincoln, while his assistant, c.
L. Eaton, will be left at Omaha. whence he
was removed recently. The reason for the
new move according to the reports, is the
difficulty of managing the car service of
