Youthful Criminals.

Twothirds of the convicta In Ameri.
cas- greatest prison (the Missouri
penitentiary at Jefferson City are
men without trade or profession. Look
into any state penitentiary, and you
will ordinarily find that at least one
third of the convicts there confined
are young men. ranging in age from 1S
to rs years. and that nearly all Of
these came into prison absolutely
without the knowledge of any useful
and gainful occupation. Comparative.
1y few Of the younger class of felons
are illiterate, In my own experience,
writes Thomas Speed Mosby, Nilsson.
ri state pardon attorney, in Success
Magazine, have never met one who
could not read and write, and very
many (by far the greater number, ]
should say) are possessed of no small
degree of intelligence. But, however
stupid or however precocious, they
are found to be, scarcely without ex-
ception, young men who have not ap-
piled themselves to useful, honest
work. This is true of both the poor
and the well-to-do. Why are they
there? The answer is given by Gus
tave Marx, one of the Chicago car
barn" bandits, who recently died upon
the gallows: 'It wasn't drink that
caused my downfall" he said; mot
cigarettes, nor bad companions, either
1t was Just idleness. Idleness led me
first to cigarettes, then to drink, then
to bad companions-then to the gal
lows. And ! blame my folks. II they
had made me remain at work. work
would have kept me too busy to have
planned robbery and murder" This
is the story that fits them ALL First,
idleness; then cigarettes and drink, to
blunt the moral sense and destroy the
will; then living beyond ones means;
then INDUCING the riotous excessos
that spell debauchery and make for
ruin. And may they not rightly blame
their folks as did Gustave Marx?

One cover may be procured at a
moderate price at the shop, but it ties
on the shoulder with tapes, the lace
edges extending across each end. This
Is mistake There should never be
any loops or bows on top of the Shout
ders. The top of the shoulders should
be as fiat as possible. The object of the
tapes being left Is that the cover may
be adjusted to fit both long and short
wasted figures. One can, however,
put these garments on and have these
tied SO that they are made to fit as
one wishes. and then have the tapes
and one or both lace edges removed,
laying the front end over the back,
and have a fiat strap seam. This fits
them smoothly.
This style of corset cover can be
procured attached to a glove-fitting
skirt, but these have to be ordered.

Colors Of Autumn street Gowns.

That very dark shades of blue, brown
green and red are to be the smart
colorings of late autumn and winter
street costumes in cloths of various
kinds, is no longer to be questioned. so
assured is the fact. Velvets and silks
follow suit and millinery assumes the
same color character, in trimmings as
we'll whether of plumage or flowers,
for both are to be the vogue. Those
who are prepared to cast away their
light cloth costumes have the dyer to

BEST CORSET COVER
STYLES MUST Be SELECTED TO
SUIT FIGURE.
For the Stout Woman the Low-Busted
Garment 10 the Best - NO
Loops or Bows for the
Shoulders.

For stout figures having small busts,
as Is often the case. the rather low
busted corset should be worn, and the
bust should be thrown out as much as
possible, to balance the rest Of the
figure.
To confine a too fieshy bust with the
old style corset top there are various
corset sewers, to be drawn tightly over
the chest. which give firmness to and
confine too-rotund outlines. One of
these is shown in one of the cuts &C.
companying this text. The tie ends
may be drawn as tightly as one
pleases, but instead of being pulled
crosswise one end should be drawn up
toward the chin and the other toward
the ties, and when the, cover is tight
enough the final tie may be given.

VOGUE OF False BRAID

The new fashion of crowning the

Weather.crop Bulletin,


Des Moines, Iowa, July Is, 1907
The temperature Of the past week
was nearly the normal, and there was
generally the usual amount of sum
shine. Heavy showers were reported
from special stations on the 9th, 10th,
18th, l4th, and 10Th, and in all dis
tricts there was great excess of rain
fall, ranging from to Z inches in scat
tered localities, causing considerable
damage by floods ard erosion Of soil.
In the larger part Of the state condi-
lions were favorable for field work
three to four days. and fair progress
has been made in finishing cultivation
OF corn and beginning the harvest of
hay, winter grain, early oats and bar
ley. In the southern section oats made
rank growth. and reports indicate that
some damage may result from rust.
The corn crop has made rapid growth
in well cultivated fields. The hay crop
gives promise Of being nearly up to
the normal in yield. Pasturage has
never been better in the midsummer
period. Conditions have been favor
able for potatoes, garden truck and
the minor crops.

Wilkes Hotel Sold

The Wilkes Hotel now belongs to
Henry Preston, well-known farmer
now residing about four miles north Of
Riceville, he having purchased the
properly Of Jas. A. Smith last week.
Mr.. Preston is at present working a
rented farm, and probably will not be
able to take possession of the hotel I'M
til about the first of January. It is
likely Frank Bathen, who is in charge
Of the hotel, will continue to run it un-
til Mr.. Preston is able to get his farm
affairs in such shape that he can give
personal attention to the hotel.
Now for the first time since the death
of Mr.. Wilkes it may be said the hotel
is IN the hands Of real owner. Mr..
Smith came into the property through
liens and has availed himself Of the
first opportunity to dispose of it 50 as
to protect claimants.

was about 81, 800 which is less than half
its cost less than six years ago. Mr..

Work on the ''Dan Patch Air
Line" Progressing.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July, Is, 1907.
That work On sthe Dan Patch Air
Line will be pushed harder than ever
was evinced Saturday morning by a
long procession of machinery which
was taken from the railroad yards out
to the operating camp of the Company
on Lyndale Avenue, south of the city.
The machinery consisted of new
traction engine, grading machine,
eight dump wagons of the most improved
type, one tank, ten dump carts and
thirty -four head Of horses. The para
phernalia were put on the work Monday
morning and will greatly facilitate the
grading operations which have already
extended across the township Of Rich
field and will be pushed on and across
the Minnesota River as fast as possible.
One or two farmers in the latter
town have objected to-giving the right
of way and although reasonable offers
have been made them, they have re-
fused to settle. Condemnation pro
ceedings have already been begun and
appraisers will be appointed by the
court within few days. after which,
the Company can proceed along the
right of way in question after furnish
ing bond to cover possible damages.
The company contract with Harring-
ton-Skiles, as fiscal agents, has been
cancelled, and President M. w. Savage
has taken personal charge of the sale
of stock and is now making plans to
carry,on vigorous and extensive adver-
Using campaign. This fact, together
with some other changes made in the
Company's management has great
weight with those acquainted with the
Minneapolis millionaire's progressive
methods, and the prospects for the
operation of cars in the near future on
the Dan Patch Air Line were never
brighter.

Two-C Cent Fare Hits National Guard

= " - 49, y = - ~
The new law fixing the railroad rate
at two cents mile in the state has
worked hardship upon the Iowa Ma
tional Guard fund and will cost the
state from $40, 600 to $l2, 900 more this
year than last. In the past the rail
roads have given a one-cent rate for
hauling state troops to and from en-
campments and the amount has been
between $4,000 and $4,000. This
year they would not give the rate. and
as result the amount Adjutant- Gener-
al Thrift will have to spend will be
nearly doubled.
The Acknowledgement is busy figuring
out the routes the troops illtake from
their company stations to Des Moines
to attend the big maneuyers next
month, and as a result Of the two-cent
law will be more careful than usual to
see that the troops travel by the short
est route. In the past the convenience
OF the troops has been somewhat CON
sidered, but this year it will be simply
"a question Of the shortest mileage.
