MINNEAPOLIS, July 11.-Robbery is
believed to be the motive for the bru-
tai murder of Miss Miiie Ellison of
Ellsworth, Wis, who was attacked
while in her room I'm q local hotel yes
terday.
The woman is known to have had
more than $4,000 on her person, she hav-
ing cashed a draft for that amount on
one of the banks during the day. When
she appeared at the bank to cash the
order, which was drawn on an institu-
ton in her home town, she was ac-
companied by a man who closely an
swers the description of the suspect
now under arrest at Elroy Wis.
His name is N. M. Riggs, a resident
of Minneapolis and an employe of the
Chicago & Northwes tern railway as an
engineer He met Miss Ellison some ten
years ago.
Intended to Buy Farm
A brother of the dead woman who is
now here says his sister sold out her
millinery business in Ellsworth wit h
the intention of investing the money
in farm in Washington which Riggs
is said to have claimed he had picked
out.
y 1t was the understanding of the girls
family that she was on her wedding
trip and that she would settle down in
her own home on the farm In Wash
ington. "She took all her money and
negotiable papers with her at the time
she left home. The amount Is variously
estimated. but I am positive she had
at least $S000 but it may have been as
much as $6O00," said the brother.
Riggs will be brought to Minneapolis
tomorrow.

HUNDREDS FACE
TERRIBLE DEATH
STEAMER QUINCY BURNS IN
THE MISSISSIPPI
Passengers, Two Hundred In Number
Escape In Boats - only One,

Drowned
By Associated PTesa.

BY Associated Press.
LA CROSSE, wis, July 12.-The
steamer Quincy of the Diamond 10 line
struck bank in the darkness near
Trempleau, Wis, at 1920 last night and
then caught fire.
1t is believed that the majority of
the 200 passengers on board were saved.
1t Is definitely known that an infant
which was washed from its mothers
arms was drowned.
At 1:20 o'clock this morning belated
train brought sixty passengers, who
were on the boat, to this city. Ac-
counts given by them of the disaster
do not include positive statements as to
the drownings, but it is believed COM
paratively few met death.
Communication Shut of
All communication with the village of
Trempelieau is cut off and information
relative to the accident to the steamer
is obtainable only. through the stories
told by passengers and meager reports
received at the railroad offices.
At about 10:30 o'clock the steamer,
plying up river, struck a bank. At the
time it is said the boat carried no
searChlight One passenger says he saw
a babe washed overheard from its
mothers arms.
The boat is sinking though not in
deep water.
Steamer Catches Fire
The palatial steamer caught fire i'm
mediately after the collision with the
bank.
The life boats were gotten out and
the passengers were taken off before
the flames gained any considerable
headway.
Rescue work was effectively done by
the colored roustabouts of the boat.
When it became apparent that the
boat would have to be abandoned the
steamer was forced onto the bank by
the powerful engines, the prov literally
creeping up the steep bank.
Tied to a tree the buring steamer
was held while the rousta bouts took
people off the stern in boats. Others
jumped off in the dark and it was not
until half the people were off that the
powerful searchlight was put in run
ming order throwing the scene into
bright light.
For the reason that part of the pas
sengers rescued stayed at Tremepeeau
and some went to Winona, MINI, and
others came to La Crosse, it was i'm
possible to say whether any were miss
ing.

tage of appearing to sink into the stuff
ana becoming part OF It. Another de-
sirable point On connection with the use
of tapestry dyes is that they IN no
way shrink from being Numbered, A
white chiffon gown covered with long
painted sprays Of liacs can be tubbed
almost as recklessly as can a linen
handkerchief
Those, however, who use the water
colors declare that they blend together
better than the dyes and that their
shades are infinitely less harsh
Null organdy and mousseline de
sole are all stuffs which suggest de-
lightful opportunities for painting as
gowns,
An exquisite white chiffon gown
painted with intertwined vines of wild
pink and yellow roses has recently
been sent to this country These two
colors combine together most artist-
Cally. The effect Of the painting on
chiffon, moreover, is quite as charming
as though weeks of labor had been ex-
pended in embroidering the design,
yellow is always an invaluable color to
Introduce. 1t gives a dash of brillian-
cy to the other shades. To use it So
idly can hardly be as highly recon-
mended, as yellow pales greatly under
artificial light. Blue is also a color
that does not light up well in the even
ing, and the same might be said of la
vender unless there is an abundance
of pink in its composition
Another little wrinkle is to paint
large flowers on chiffon or gauze and
then cut them out to apply on heavy
lace. such flowers as orchids, hibiscus,
dogwood blossoms and peoples are all
admirable to select for the purpose. At
ter they have been sketched on the
material, tinted, heavily veined and
painted Ia the same way as though
they were pieces of paper they should
be cut out and set aside for applying.
Often a better effect is given by apply
ing them on white or cream-colored
lace than by placing them directly on
the material of the gown. When
squares or long lines of heavy lace are
let in as a trimming for a skirt it is a
pretty idea to apply the cut-out flow
ers on the lace and then paint their
stems and leaves so that they branch
out over the stuff proper.
Indeed, in painted gowns and trihes
there is a broad field Of usefulness for
woman's taste and nimble fingers.

The folly of worrying about things
not likely to happen, or If they do han

me of a thing that happened in my
school days. We used to hive q lee

day the lecturer was a geological

topic He told us all about the geolo-
gical formation of the falls, described
the different periods that it is believed

on to say that the falls were slowly
wearing back toward Buffalo, AID that
in the course of some 100000 years they
would have worn back to Erie, Pa, and
that town would be left high ami dry.
Just then one of the girls in the class
began to sob wildly. whats the mat

AT THE POLICE STATION AND

The police were again the subject of
discussion by Democrats last night. At

has yet given, charging that there was
corruption at the police station, though
expressing belief in Browns personal
honesty. He said in part:
why is it, may 1 ask, that there is
such a strong contest about the office
of sheriff, above all others? 1t is be-
cause the people there today dislike to
have the office pass into the hands Of
other people who will administer the
laws in a different manner.

HIS LAST DOLLAR.

Every event that fills the public eye his it's romantic side, and especially such an affair as the great Futurity Race. The initial race was won by Proctor Knott in 1888 and no more heart-moving episode can be imagined than the picture of his dying owner, good, old Sam Bryant, on his death couch brought out to the quarter stretch that he might feast his eyes for the last time. on his ardently loved horse. He watched the colt rush to victory over the course as though his flying feet were obeying only the mind of his owner, and with one last look at this famous racing field, green ill its summer verdure, Bryant whisper ed Il am ready now" and sank back on his mattress to pass away eighteen hours later. The story of Joe Brax- ton and Eleanor Downs and the bring ing together of their lives by the means of this race and it's gallant equine winner, is told in the live acts of the great racing play which will be seen at Polls tonight and to-D1Or- row afternoon and evening, entitled His Last Dollar" David Higgins as Joe BfaXtOn, IS dlueu Dy EledHoi Montell and large and competent company in the presentation of the play which is complete in scenic and mechanical requirements.

have to plan a fancy bolero for every forck, as almost every model, whether , in wash material or not, sports one of these gay little coats. And they cer- tainly are a welcome addition to a gown whose lines are not exactly right for ones figure. In linens there will be even more boleros than were noticeable last summer-and that was a good many. There is variety of pony jackets" without doubt they will attain a wide popularity; they charitably hide deficiencies, they are graceful in cut.
 Butcher's-linen will also be used for shirtwaists, and these should be made quite plain. A wide band of heavy em- broidery may extend down the front ard form the cuffs and stock, but no trimming or fulness need be given in the way of tucks or gathers; the de- sire is to have these severely simple. But we feel moved to add that this style is not generally becoming, should be avoided by both the too-thin and the too-stout; the former looks angu- lar, the latter portly in such model.
 Mention should he made that the new underwear IS adapted to the em- pire and princess styles, for the At of outer garment is dependent on the un- derwear. A good combination skirt and corset cover is made with the shirring placed nigh, to give the short waisted effect.

We may object to the princess rule, make bold declaration not to submit; but nevertheless she reigns supreme. The past winter has been marked by her sway, the coming sum- mel she is to dominate.
 The best shops are showing princess frocks of white linen, null and other sheer material made in princess style; wash dresses amany made after this fashion. To be sure, it is modified fashion, one very different from the old style sheath-like robe, robe that only the slender and stately could af- feet; now cunningly disposed little boleros and sleeveless overdresses helI where the figure is deficient, and 1t is true almost anyone may dare the mod ern one-piece gown. Empire gowns also are the height of fashion.
 The past season it has been worn principally for evening dress, very sell dom seen in street gowns; but with princess wash dresses we certainly shall grow accustomed to it at all hours of the day. As a rule, the prin. cess frocks are made rather plain, un- trimmed save for yoke of batiste ol embroidery and an embroidery fril edging the elbow sleeve. The waist is defined by little tucks, all as fine and dainty as can be. The princess lingerie gowns are lovely, fluffy ant frilly, contrast in elaboration to tht linen frocks.

Work and the Exes.

The influence of occupations upon
 the eyesight is strikingly illustrated
 by statistics collected among the schools of Germany and France. In
 Germany 1t has been shown that 50 per cent. of those engaged in the so- called liberal professions suffer more or less from myopia, or shortness of sight, whereas among laborers the percentage drops to i've, and among peasants to only half of one per cent. The remarkable growth of my opia with increase of attention de- manded by school work is indicated by the fact that the eyes of only six per cent. of the scholars in the pri- mary schools of France are affected, but those of more than 20 per cent. in the secondary schools. In the Col lege Rollin IS per cent. of the scholars have myopia in the lower grades, 32 per cent. in the third grade. and 66 per cent. in the courses in philosophy.

I consider the matter, why should 1t be I so severe? Let it be sensibly short | and comfortable-and then as pretty l as you are mind to make it. The one refer to was part of neat gray outfit; the skirt short enough not to | need holding up at muddy crossing, heavy enough not to blow in the wind and make indiscreet display of ankles; l the coat was a trim bolero, which dis played at the back. and down the front an engaging white wash-silk waist. The hat was cheerful with Eosies, quite enlivening on the dark, rainy day.
 ] The other short jacket noticed was part of tailor suit of blue cloth. It was trimmed with wide bands of black
 braid, which climbed up the back and l gave the short-wassted effect so sought
 after these days; there was touch on l the sleeves and narrow vest down l the front of heavy cream-colored lace,
 picked out in red and blue embroidery. | With the short sleeves long heavy
 black gloves were worn. The hat was l gray blue.

 theme. Crepe de chine is an admira-

 A charming pale blue was recently
 seen trimmed rather sparingly with
 white lace. So many people make the
 mistake of piling yards of lace on a
 gown and getting something for re-
 ward that is fussy and over-elaborate

 corsage princess; it was stayed above
