Something New in Wells.

The man who said that there is nothing
new under the sun lived before the day OF
the face veil. Most OF the little acces-
series which go so far toward making the
great we'll dressed change with the seasons;
not so the face veil.
Styles in that change between times as
well. At present, simultaneously with
Paris, New York veil importers say, there
is a great showing of novelties in wells
and veilings. A made veil known as the
Irritation is having a great run.
The Irritation is three yards long and a
warm article. 1t is made OF washable
chiffon OF ilmy texture that would make
Peter Pan ashamed when he holds his lost
shadow up to the public eye. The ends are
hand painted in big flowers. and in some
cases a painted border extends down both
sides.
1t is generally worn loose over a COM
plexion veil and is also employed as a head
covering for evening wear.
Many of the new carriage and calling
wells have pin head dots very close to-
gether and a sparse sprinkling of large
velvet or chenille dots over these. Sucn
have a border of real lace or narrow velvet
ribbon and should be chosen TO match the
gown.
Never before have made wells and veI-
ings by the yard been obtainable in color
so wonderful and so becoming. Even the
plainest woman, IL she has a right sense of
color, can find something in them to hide
her defects and enhance her charms.
Smart automobile wells necessarily are
Of chiffon cloth, for 1t is both dust and
water proof and their ends are embellished
and made strong with velvet dots
wise woman expends a good deal Of
thought on the wells and sticks to what
suits her best in spite OF alTuring novelties.
Authorities say that the wash lace veil will
come into its own again this summer Its
advent will be hailed with delight by those
Of limited income, for a veil Of this kind Is
cheap, durable, becoming and easily cleaned
at home.

club women Hire Tutors.

New York club women, for all their super
lative brand Of brains, often feel that they
don't make deep Impressions upon the
minds of the audiences which they address,
which feeling is almost as irritating to the
nerves as not being able to talk at all.
Consequently, says the New York Mail,
they have begun to HE them to the elocu-
tionists. who take them in hand and tell
them how to deliver effectively the address
which they have learned by heart. and
how to hurl the telling points at the bon
nets in a way to cause certain enthusiasm.
Several elocutionists in town are making
quite a good income by giving their critical
judgment 20 club women. OF course these
teachers are sworn to secrecy, but they
generally manage to drop a consoling hint
to each individual that there are many 9TH
ers in the same business.

peruuistes which swell unduly the salaries
Of many unimportant ONCE holders.
Fees and perquisites," he said, tend
to cause unjust dealings. Even in the
kitchen this is so. A burcher told me the
other day that young woman, the cook
in a prominent family hereabouts, came
into his shop and said:

Pineville boasts the honor of having the

came an invalid two years ago Mrs. Davis
took charge of the mail route.
Every day she goes out and is a familiar
and welcome visitor to all the homes in the
hill-locked circuit OF her route She starts
at 10 O'Clock in the morning and drives
twenty or twenty-five miles by dark. She
has a rocky, hilly trail to travel. but travels

she's paying for home.
She is stout, short, comedy and So, with
two sons in their early teens She is able
to take care Of herself. but as a measure

She sometimes rides forth gaily in regu.

proved pattern, white body. with maroon
trimmings, glass sliding doors, inside pigeon
holes and all that At other times, and
more often, she uses an open buggy, with
a hucksters umbrella and a pine box in
front for the mail. This latter vehicle is
better adapted to the rough ridge and val
ley roads Of the Dog Hollow route.
Mrs Davis has already held her govern
ment Job more than a year II pays $50 a
month, and she drives only one horse. She
supposed at first that she might some day
sublet but found in time that the postal
authorities would permit neither this nor

than a few days each month. The work
was easy and pleasant, and she kept on.

Rewards Offered.
Saturday evening Governor
Gooding offered, in behalf Of the
State, reward of $1,000 for the
apprehension of the criminals.
Shoshone county has also offered
reward of $4,000; the Caldwell
Banking & Trust Co., of which
institution Mr.. Steunenberg was
president, offered $4,000; Canyon
county has already offered re-
ward of $1,000, and will undoubted-

has been around Caldwell, off and

reason for being here. The officers
have proved conclusiveIy that Or

lived at Burke, and was member
of the Burke Miners Union. He
was also seen in that section last
summer. He shipped his trunk to
Caldwell, but went to Haley HIM
self, following his trunk here q few
days later. When questioned by
officers, he claimed that he came
here for the purpose Of buying real
estate. Thus far be has never pur-
chased any. Up to the present
time the evidence against Hogan
has been purely speculative and
circumstantial, but the coils are
steadily tightening. His prelim-
mary hearing will probably be held
today.
Evidence Against Orchard.
The remaining links in the chain
Of evidence against Orchard are
being forged rapidly. Captain
Swain Of Spokane, who is in
charge of the work, has stateo
positively that Orchard is impli-
Gated in the crime. The facts
about Orchard, on which the Off
GERS base their hopes. are as fol-
lows:--
Harry Orchard came TO Caldwell
the last time on December IS, and
registered at the Saratoga hotel un-
der the name of Thomas Hogan.
He came here ostensibly for the
purpose Of buying real estate. but
never made any purchases. He

Frank r. Hunt. Governor Steu-
nenberg entered the public service.
Of the state at a time when the
most intelligent and conscientious
management Of its institutions and
affairs was necessary to preserve
the credit of Idaho. and to place
its administration expenses on a.
basis where payment could be
made. 1t needed the strength of a
strong man, and unfaltering fidelity
and application to accomplish this.
That he succeeded in so directing
the state government and enlarging
the confidence of the people of the
state has been his monuments
lasting and enduring one. 1t was
during his administration that
many works of public improve
ment and irrigation originated,
which he had the satisfaction to see
consummated. When courage. firm
ness, force became necessary to pre-
serve the security of property in
the Ceur d'Alenes in 1899, he
sprang to the relief of orderly gov
ernment with characteristic and in
domitable purpose, and stamped
out instruction with an iron heel.
Idaho can well feel that one of her
great citizens-great even in the
opinion of those whose interests
opposed him--has been waptonly
consumed in the flaming passions
of insanity and revenge, and that
