this same infamous Comanche county
bond deal.
This man Rossington is also the attor-
ney for c. c. Coleman, the attorney
general, who also wants $4,000 from
this paper and who took a discreditable
part in the sale of these Comanche coun-
ty bonds to the state.
This man Rossington is the same
man who was vice-president of the
late defunct First National bank at the
time when the president was incapaci-
tated for business.
He is the same man who was one Of
the directors of that bank. He is
largely responsible for the fact that
the depositors were robbed right and
left of their money. If they We're
robbed under legal devices, so much
the worse. There are hundreds of
people in this town today who are suf-
fering by the negligence and criminal
ity of this man Rosington, in connec-
ton with this bank. If a few directors
like Rosington were put in jail there
would be fewer bank troubles.
BY the way, why are not proceedings
instituted against Rossington and these
other directors for their shameful, Grim

of the bank by Devlin.
Rossington is one of the board of di-
rectors and one OF the officers of the
bank who permitted Devlin to take a
half a million dollars from the state
and hundreds and thousands of dollars
from merchants and well to do and poor
people of this town The cashier has
gone east.
Rossington might be in better busi-
ness than bounding the State Journal
at every turn made in an effort to give
the people of this city a creditable pa
per and to stand up for Topeka and for
Kansas
Who is this man. Chas. Blood Smith
Well, he is Rossington's partner.
Who is this man James A. Troutman,
who is constantly after the State
Journal on these various suits?
Judge Pollock has given an opinion
on Troutman, but we will not print it
here. Those who want to read it should
consult the Goth Kansas Report, Page
g.
Troutman is the man who held the
proprietor of this paper up to scorn the
other day before a lot of carriers, whom
he does business with, and whom he
likes in the main. Troutman lied. of
course, when he said that the proprietor
of this paper is a imam of fabulous
wealth" He made a speech before
Judge Dana and the court room holding
the proprietor of this paper up to scorn
and tried to make it appear that he was
a criminal because he had laid by lit
tie money with which to help himself,
to help the State Journal. TO help his
family and to help the town.
The State Journal is pretty tired Of
being pursued and prosecuted by four or
I'VE lawyers IN Topeka and If we have
got to fight for an existence, we pro-
pose to sail in.

10 PER CENT A MONTH TOO MUCH
Judge Pollock Decides Against Kan
sas City Money Loaner.

Judge Pollock of the United States
district court handed down a decision
in the case of H. z. Brown and D. D.
Drake which he has had under ad-
visement for some time, requiring the
Rock Island to turn over to the clerk
of the court all of the money in the
controversy between H. E. Brown of
Kansas City, an employe of the road,
and D D. Drake, a ten per cent per
month money lender. Brown had bor-
rowed $35 from Drake and had given
the later an order on the railroad for
his check but finding that the inter-
est charged was exorbitant, refused to
pay the money lender who then under
took to collect the debt by law when
Brown fled a suit in bankruptcy.
The court holds that Drake shall re-
cover the $50 at per cent but that
he shall pay the costs in the case.

The summer shirtwaist proper is to revert its
original form. that is, 1t will be made on severer
lines than has been the custom in the last few
years. For one thing. it will not have the pouch
front. other differences noted are In the sleeve
which is slightly full. raised the top and fin
ished with narrow. starched cuq. The lines OF
the waist depend wholly on the figure it is to fit
Some waists have a small yoke. with the material
hanging it In side or box pleats: others
gathered with moderate funess into the collar
band. As for stuffs. there is to be n the
hair stripes fine checks. and perhaps dots. al
though stripes and fine checks come first
The elaborate lingerie blouses come into differ
ent category, and many of them the coming sea-
will be made with elbow three-quarter
length sleeves. yokes and coquettish hchu collars
that is with many of the ideas that prevail now in
dress bodces. If the sleeve is long. the upper
part of 1t Is much trimmed and puffed. and the
lower part close and plain. There are, however
some examples of lace bloUses made with close
plain sleeves.
On summer silk and mohair gowns there will be
an extensive of English eulbroideries and also
what Is newer. fine pleatings of lawn and Swiss.
The models shown the Rue de la PaiX now IN
clude large proportion of evening gowns, for the
fashions in evening toilets are never defined until
after the New Year. Most of the bodices are
craped in crosswse fashion. and so. naturally
there Is a large use of soft stuffs. An example OF
a thin lace gown is made up of many rutfies; in
fact the skirt is all of rufles put on with head
ings Of soft white satin ribbon. Inc rpooh Is
puffed. with little bows here and there The cor
falls into a corselet belt OF gold lace. and
there is a fchu arrangement of lace and ribbon
loops about the decolletage- The sleeves are
shirred in close caps at the top and then fall In
lace rufle over puff that descsnds to the elbow
All evening gowns have sleeves. and often sleeves
that fall below the elbows. Sleeves for daytime
gowns short and scant now that one might
expect corresponding decrease in the sleeves for
evening. but such evidently is not the case.
One of the loveliest evening gowns that a ceie-
brated couturier has to show Is of a shmmerlng
pnkish white satin. with the lower part or the
skirt trimmed with orchids of tinted gadze set on
with embroidered stalks and incrustations OF lace
The corsage is perfectly plain, but draped in beau
tiful folds about the figure. that no line OF
closing is suggested. The decouetage is softened
with puffs of white gaUze and chains of pearls

with garands of fine pink roses. The skirt is pu1fed
