THE FLESH

CHATTANOOGA: The decayed re-
mains of an unknown man were found
-FOUR miles south of here by a party
OF hunters. All flesh is gone from the
bones and coyotes appear to have torn
the skeleton to pieces. The skull gives
evidence of having been struck by a
heavy weapon and is partially crush

was about six feet high, and was prob
ably 10 years old. A letter found near
by in his coat may lead to his iden-
tfty.

Guthrie, Ok, Sept. 3.-That troubles

haps and accidents have occurred in

The trouble started When it was dis

were on fire. The fire was discovered
by some persons living in a tent near
the bridge, who notified the man in
charge of the pumping station. He
requested Sam McGeehee to get on a
yelocipede and go to Francis to notify
the train dispatchers. While making

was thrown from his car and his back

MUSKOGEE: The Bank of Dewey
has passed out of existence and the
unusual has happened. The deposit
ors got all their money and it ap-
pears that the stockholders will lose
theirs.
E. L. Woodson, president and pro-
moter of the bank, is said to have
gone without leaving his address,
while the stockholders have nothing
tangible upon which to realize the
money that they aid in to the institu-
ton
The bank had been leading a pre-
carious existence for some time and
in July President Woodson called a
meeting of the directors and stock
holders and told them that more
money would have to be put up or
the bank would have to go out of bus
mess; that there was enough money
on hand to pay depositors in full, but
no more. The stockholders have
found that all that is left for them is
about $1,7O0 worth of notes, most
OF them worthless. which Woodson
left in the hands of o. B. CIevenger
for collection with instructions to
turn the money over to Woodson. 1t
is further alleged that Woodson ha6
arranged to sell the bank fixtures
TO parties in Kansas City for $500.
but some of the stockholders got
wind of it and stopped the sale. No
one seems to know where Woodson
is.

Every detail is, indeed, worth study
ing, and then the hat, too. is charm
ing, simply and smartly trimmed as it

The cotton voiIes have come to rival
printed chiffons in the delicacy of
their colorings and beauty of pattern
and are essentially fabric for festive
attire, and their cost being so little
they appeal to the home dressmaker
as particularly suited to the creation
of an economical yet apparently cost
~ costume. Our illustration demon
strates the possibilities of this cloth. It
will be noted that the trimmings are
arranged in the simplest manner, and
the method of putting them on will be
here explained in due course.
We will proceed now with the cut
ting out: The skirt pattern consists
of one-half of the top of the under
skirt, one-half of the dounce. and half
Of the overskirt.
This last-named is cut practically on
the same principle as the underskirt,
only with the front edge to the sell
wedge and the bias seam at the back,
whereas the underskirt has the front
and back seams both slightly on the
bias, the latter more so than the for
mer, but neither so much so as is the
central back seam of the overskirt.
The full fiounce in its turn demands
that the overskirt shall be heavily
gored so as to get plenty of width at
the hem and thus fall easily in with
the folds OF the tounce.
For the back seam of skirt place a
length Of Prussian binding along the
seam when lacking the two parts to-
gether; machine one edge of this in,
when doing the seam; afterwards fell
the other edge down over the raw
edges OF the seam, and thus neaten
and strengthen it all at the same
time The binding should match the
color OF the wolfe, and if it is impos- |
sible to get this, a length of sarcenet
or ne~row glace ribbon will be nearly
as serviceable and possibly easier to |
obtain. -
The back seam of the overskirt |
should be what is called a French" |
seam-that is, it should first be |
stitched with the raw edges facing the
right side OF the material, then this
should be folded face to face and an
other seam tackled, of q depth suf-
fcient to enclose the narrow turns of
the first one.

erlng thread run along it, and for
neatness' sake the top is turned down
