The above dispatch was sent out
from Ogden FRIDAY by the Associated
Press, and evidently created consider
able excitement in the daily newspaper
otlices on the coast, tor late the same
afternoon the silver State News re-
ceived the following dispatch from the
san francisco Examiner:

Editor Silver State News:-We have
received the following from Oguen:

SAN FRANCISCO EAAMlNER.
When the second section OF No. s
reached winnemucca at l2:l5 Saturday
morning representative of the silver
State News was on hand, with an
otticer to look into the matter.
The train was dark, everybody had
retired for the night, and it was impos-
sible to interview the principals in the
case. 1t transpired, however, that all
the newspapers in the west had inter
ested themselves in the affair, with the
result that the train crew were
thoroughly familiar with the case.
An unhappy mother had left Ogden
Friday morning with an unfortunate
imbecile daughter, who in addition was
stone blind, enroute to their home in
san Francisco. The poor child natur-
ally acted querely and, becoming rest
less, made an outcry. At this juncturs
several well-meaning, but perhaps =
trifle over-oflicious ladies, went into
executive session and decided that the
child had ben drugged and was being
abducted. They thereupon telegraphed
the daily papers, as noted above.

LAST YEARS MILLINERY AN ODDITY:
THIS YEARS STYLES WIDE DEPARTURE

FLOWERS and lots of color will DOM
mate the styles" said Nine. Hunt, who
is president of the National Milliners
association, yesterday "Milliners will
make no mistake If they keep their
hats mostly in flowers. Large hats
have become so cheap that no one who
wishes to be esoteric will wear them.
Medium sized hats will prevail.
Mushrooms have. gone entirely"
Milliners from far and near attend
ed the sessions of the convention and
viewed the creations.
? Dressmakers also had few things
TO say in the evening. Women who
adhere closely to style will have to
seek the upholstery department for
material for their wardrobes this
spring. Cretonne of the floral variety
made up in coats, will find much favor
according TO speakers at the annua
banquet of the Chicago Dressmakers
club at the Palmer house.

Before an audience of 10000 that

BILE candidate of the democrats. but
that the party had the right 10. COM
mand him for any service he could
render, and declared that delegates
Ought to be selected whose heart and
soul are bent on following whatever

He also argued that the campaign
ought to be placed in the hands OF
men whose enthusiastic ambition is tc
win victory for the party.

the Nebraskan placed under the micro
