plated Suicide by Hanging while in JAIL

When court was opened this
morning for the resumption OF
the Wesley trial, there was the
same expectant crowd in at
tendance, eagerly awaiting the
climax of the trial, the confes-
sions claimed to have been made
by Wesley. It was known that
the counsel for Wesley claimed
to have some surprises in store
to spring on the state, and the
interest was intense.
Mr.. Funkley, prosecuting at,
torney, stated that he intended
to close his case during the day,
and all his remaining witnesses
were marshalled for the finale.
Wesley came into court look
ing bright and fresh, with a balf
smile on his countenance.
He talked freely with his coun-
sci, and seemed in no wise dis
turbed by the evident air of ex-
pectancy that pervaded the court
room. Beyond a slight redness
of the lids and a somewhat shifty
expression of the eyes, there was
nothing but a tranquil expires.
sion of countenance on the part
Of the prisoner.
He was evidently prepared for
anything the state had to offer.
The members of the jury
showed some evidences of their
close confinement during the
trial, but were all in good physi-

10 FIGHT DC LAW
Waiervllle Man Reported Col. leclinq Fund For That Purpose.

Vaterville is greatly excited over the mayors mandate regarding dogs. and it is rumored that Albert Ciaccio is collecting fund for the purpose of fighting 1t. Prosecutor Meigs said this morning that better use of money could be made than to fight law, and that the city court wishes to make good financial start for the year and the city needs the money. Intimating that any such fight can end only in failure. Nevertheless, there are plenty of men not only i'll Wateryille, but all over the city who would chip in their dollars for the purpose of making foolish fight again a legal order of the adninis- traitor. There are more dogless men than dog owners in the city and though Waterville has more than It's share of both kinds the dog owners would find themselves swamped with public opinion.
 Tho Waterville man will have no trouble in collecting fund as big as he wants 1t to fight the law, but such a contest would mean money wasted 50 far as the contributors would be concerned. Anyhow It would be spent in good cause and the city needs the money.

Gimp to ss popu,ar.

Now comes the vogue of the gimp dress. The gimp tailored suit is its latest expression. Gimp costumes for summer will. without doubt, be de rigeur. There is no denying the ar tistic possibilities of this style. Never have women. especially those who must economize. received more prac- tical fashion from the powers that be.
 These frocks offer such unlimited opportunities for utilizing hoarded treasures of lace or bits of embroid- cries. odds and ends of passemen- teries and even those old muff tas- sells that we thought we could never use again. All of these may come forth from their long occupied haunts of tissue paper and camphor Into the light of fashionable approval. Ones laces may form the yoke of . gimp. mounted upon . good foundation of tulline. white or cream colored. 1t matters not. Other bits may make the cuffs to peep from beneath the short sleeves of the frock. for the cuffs need not match the yoke; in fact. it's considered a little better style not to have them do co.
