Chas. Troops stable at Fort Meade
burned Friday during high wind.
The horses, which were in the corral at
the time, broke down the fence and
stampeded, most OF them going to
Sturgis, some went to Whitewood, but
nearly all were rounded up. The loss
is about $4,000. Nothing could be done
to save the stable, as all forces were
concentrated on saving the nearby
buildings. The origin of the fire is
unknown. The new water system is
not yet ready, and the present supply
proved inadequate.

The corps of surveyors of the North

Robinson in his crop estimates placed
the yield of the state for that year at

Ex-senator r. F. Pettigrew, acting
for the South Dakota Central railroad
company, has purchased the entire
system of the Forest City & Gettysburg
railroad. The line extends from Gettys
burg to Forest City. 1t is the intention
Of the purchasers to tear up the track
and use the rails and other material in
the extention of the South Dakota Gen.

States Attorney Treat, Of Aurora

roughly and making insulting remarks,
threw several eggs in his direction.

A daring but unsuccessful attempe

A daring but unsuccessful attempt
was made Friday night to crack the
Security state bank at Gayville. A
hole was drilled Ia the rear of the vault
large enouge to permit man to enter.
Two charges of explosive were used to
effect the entrance. Noise was not
heard by any of the townspeople but
were heard by farmers living short
distance ont, and who report that tho
explosions occurred at | 80 andl2 a. M
A dark lantern inside the vault gives
evidence that the burglars gained
entrance but the safe was not touched.
Whether the burglars were frightened
in some manner or were deferred by
the formidable aspect of the safe is not
known.
States Attorney III. ID. James, of
Charles Mix county, has started what
doubtless will be a successful campaign
to prevent Indians from getting liquor
in Charles Mix county. Since the
decision of the United States supreme
court some months ago to the effect
that it was not violation of the federal
statutes to sell liquor to an Indian who
had taken his allotment of land, the
state and county authorities have
believed themselves powerless to regu-
late the sale of liquor to these Indians.
But States Attorney James has dis
covered that there is state statute
covering the question, and his discovery
will prove of interest to the authorities
in every county in the state which has
Indians among its population. Mr..
James points to section $40 of chapter
81 of the penal code of South Dakota as
ample authority for state and county
authorities to prevent the sale of liquor
to the Indians.
Last Tuesday finely dressed indi-
vidual arrived in Gettysburg ostensibly
for the purpose of buying land. He
went over to the Fairbanks ranch
where ne opened negotiations for the
purchase of ten sections Of land for
which $1,000 was to be paid at once to
bind the bargain. Going back to
Gettysburg he went to the Stock Grow
ers' bank and representing himself to
be the son of banker in Miles City,
Mont, presented draft for IS, 800. He
requested the bank to telegraph to Miles
City for Identification, which they did
receiving word that everything was o.
X. The shrewd wouldbe absconder
had a telegraph operator for an accom-
plice, who climbed telegraph pole,
intercepted the message and after the
proper time had elapsed sent the bogus
OK message. Meanwhile parties who
had been on the Williams track arrived
in Gettysburg and arrested him. He

The short Empire coat OF tussor has cuffs,
waistcoat and tabs Of the open work lingerie
embroidery and the lingerie skirt Is double
one, each border finishing In very large
scalops Of embroidery. Models much like
this one, but made up entirely In open work
muslin embroidery, are exceedingly smart,
and the longer Empire coats are also well
liked for costumes Of this class.
We have already spoken OF the long close
fitting plain coats Of white cloth, made
with velvet collars and worn over skirts OF
sheer lingerie embroidery. which appeared
at some OF the great racing events OF the

of the Louis XIV. type and accompanying
sheer skirts there Is little left to say, al
though such models with new details are
constantly coming to tho front.
They are hardly 80 smart as the same
models in lace and sheer material. In fact
the lace coat snugly fitted or loose and worn
over mo,isseline is the elegant costume
sharing honors only with the broderie

trimmed In lace and in cloth bands, Is worn
q little double pelerne Of white cloth with
tabs OF black velvet.
The original French model was In cerlse
mousseline and cloth. all one tone save for
the black velvet on the pelerinc, but the copy
In black and white made in New York
workroom was even more attractive than the
model. Cerise and tho other fruit reds are
being chosen for many Of the Parisienne's
summer toilettes, but the bright reds
seldom have 30 great vogue here as at the
French summer resorts.
Comparatively few all red costumes have
been turned out by the New York makers,
but the use Of a touch Of cerise, geraniun
or other vivid red to relieve frock OF
neutral hue is prevalent here, as in Paris.
Green OF the pert dncien tone Is also
liked for the relieving note, especially with
white. and one finds the stronger rose
shades, the orange shades, prune, beet
root and various striking blues used spar
ingly but effectively upon more delicate
colorings. The touch OF strong color Is
more often in velvet than in any other

Ono of tho swellest frooks displayed at
fashionable function in Paris during
Grand Prix week was a soft gray creie'
made with princesse tunio draped sllghtiy
around waist and bust. The bottom OF
the pointed tunio was heavily embroidered
in gray paillettes matching the crepe ana
fell over an underskirt Of gray mousseline

narrow bands formed Of overlapping gray
pailettes. Heavy palette embroidery went
round tho shoulders and formed the "
shaped plastron of rare yellowed lace, and
the short elbow sleeves we're OF silk NOUS
seine and lace.
Princesse gowns Of all kinds continue
to hold high place in fashions favor and
the makers grow more and moro clever In
the shaping OF these difficult robes. One
rather spectacular yet by no means loud
princesse gown which recently aroused the
enthusiasm Of fashion observers In Paris
was of silk mousseline In dull gold tint.
It was made with great fulness Of mousse.
line in tho skirt and fully draped bodice,
but absolutely without trimming save for
a sort OF stole which fitted In yoke fashion
around the shoulders and ran down to the
hem Of the frock In front, narrowing at the
waist line and broadening slightly IN It's
progress from belt to hem.
This stole, which chung closely to the
lines Of the figure, was in superb heavy lace,
tinted to match the mousseline and en-
broidered In dull colds with touches OF
warm brown. The description sounds COM
picated and the stole was, Of course, costly
work of art, but the long, straight lines OF
the gown, with the concentration OF Its
richness in the ono piece Of trimming, gave
the toilet an originality and beauty that
made it sensation.
The draped bodice shares honors with
Louis coats, princesse robes. empire and
directoire modes, and though the blouse
has lost prestige, the smooth fitting tight
basque OF other days with which we
have been threatened has~not, 30 far, ma
terialized save in isolated freakish in
stances. Soft drapery defining the bust
curves, yet with no suggestion OF stiffness,
Is the order OF the day, so far as bodices
are concerned, and 1t must be admitted
that the idea fares better in the hands OF
the artist than In those Of the ordinary
dressmaker.
However, there are some drapery effects
that may easily be achieved by means OF
a good pattern. One Of the simplest has
the fulness of the bodice front laid In fine
horizontal plaits down the middle front,
az illustrated in the frock Of chiffon wolfe
shown in one Of the small cuts, while the
side fronts take on graceful lines, dropping
loosely from shoulder to middle front.
The arrangement Of revers in heavy filet
lace and the ribbons crossing from under
the revers is good and easy Of accomplish
ment, and the two pointed ruffles set on
the skirt bottom in such fashion as to give
the effect of pointed tunic are in accord
anoe with a recent and successful fashion
fancy.

and many Of the most successful models
launched during the gay Paris season which
nominally closed with Grand Pnx week
emphasized these ideas.
The coats of broderie Anglaise on linen
and Of linen brodere Anglaise and lace, were

were used In models OF every popular de-
scription from the jaunty caraco and

silk this summer for the Louis coats, and
striped silk, too, has considerable vogue
for the purpose. Long coat skirts, short
basques, short fronts and sides and long
coattails in the back, waist length fronts
with position backs-all these ideas are
developed in silk coats for wear with sheer
