FOR THE WOMAN
WHO LIKES TO SEW.

A useful and dainty gift for an in
valid is a night light made on a wire
foundation and covered with shirred
pink silk.
1t is always better to make a stem in
sewing on a button, as If it is sewed
tightly it will more easily tear out the
material. Take loose stitches and then
wind them on the right side with the
thread four or FIVE times.
-
A dresser cover can be made from
three twelve-inch handkerchiefs laid
side by side in a row, the hemstitched
edges being connected by lace insertion
or beading, which also follows the en-
tire circumference with an inch and
a half wide piece of lace edging 1t.
If the beading Is run with ribbon the
effect is pretty.
That collar canVa may not cut
through the outer covering it is well to
place 1t between two hin pieces of
lininssand stitch it we'll on the machine.
The outside should have a quarter inch
allowed for a %turn-in, and should be
basted smoothly to the stiffening. Serge
the edges closely to the lining, cutting
slashes if it appears to draw. Miter the

In sewing buttons on the everyday
+ clothes of children it will save the
mother trouble to stay each button in
the first place with a small piece of
muslin if the garment is not an outer
one. Cut little squares just about the
size Of the button, put it OF the inside
of the spot where the button is to go,
take the stitches through it and then
hem down The edges al laround, so they
will not fray.

MES any statement made and publish-
ed as an infamous lie. when admitting
she has not read them is puzzling.
Complaints about the treatment OF
prisoners at the Home and the food
provided for them have been made for
long time. They have not come
only through the statements in the
Palladium of yesterday. Before the
new jail was built at the expense OF
the county. 1t was claimed the condi-
ton Of the old Jail was the cause of
such frequent escapes of inmates.
Escapes since the new Jail was built
have been scarcely less frequent.
1t was but few weeks ago that
the wife of a prominent local attorney
made complaint about the food furn.
ished prisoners and the attention of
the prosecuting attorney was called to
the matter.

MAY BUCK THE
CENTRAL UNION
Patrons Say That Contract
Will Be Broken If Phones
Are Removed.
AGREEMENT WORKS WELL.

1t is probable an effort will be made
to Illustrate the attempt of the Central
Union Telephone company to remove
its phones from persons holding con-
tracts after tomorrow, unless they
agree to pay the new rates. It is
claimed the contracts were issued I'M
der the agreement that there should be
no charges until subscription list of
700 was secured. This number never
has been reached and consequently
subscribers under such a contract have
enjoyed the use of their phones rent
free. 1t is maintained the stipulation
as to the TOO matter is such that sub
scribers could not have Cancelled the
contract and removed the phones and
it is held that the company can not
violate its end of the agreement
Many of the old Central Union sub
scribers who retained phones under a
so cents per month contract have or
dered their phones removed and
phones Of the Home company installed
This is believed to be in accord with
the desires of the Central Union, as it
has been stated by its officials the
company does not care for local bust

THAT is an infamous lie. is all
have to say about it. If you prefer to
take the word of women of that char
acter in preference to mine, why, I
have nothing more to say" This was
the substance of the remarks of Mrs.
Margaret Spencer. matron of the
Home for Friendless Women, when
asked today IL she had anything to
say in regard to the claims of three
women prisoners that they are poorly
fed. Mrs. Spencer admitted she had
not read the Palladium, of last even
ing which published sworn statements
Of Margaret Ann Smith, Sarah Hoover
and Eva Wilson, claiming the food
provided is not in sufficient quantities.
What 1t is she brands an Infamous lie
is not known.
The publications of the allegations
in regard to the conduct of affairs at
the Home was read with surprise. One
prominent Main street merchant, who
was a member of the board of direc-
tors of the Home for several years
said he has his doubts as to the au-
thenticity of the statements about the
food, as conditions were not like that
when he was connected with the in.
stitution.
Mrs. Spencer persistently maintains
the food is supplied in abundant guam,
titles and that it Is nutritious and
wholesome. She is unhesitating in
her condemnation of the newspaper
representatives who secured the aft
davits from the women. She main
tains that she is the person who ought
to have been asked in regard to the

BRYAN SAYS TAFT
NOT SATISFIED

Strengthen His Party

COMMENTS ON NOTIFICATION
SPEECH AND SAYS HE WILL
MAKE FURTHER REPLIES AS
THE CAMPAIGN PROGRESSES.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July 30
Charging that William H. Taft was not
satisfied with the work of the Chicago
convention which nominated him as
the republican candidate for the presi-
dency and that in consequence he is
deeply impressed with the work of the
democratic convention at Denver.
William ]. Bryan has issued a state
ment in which he expresses the opin-
ion that Mr. Taft fears the uprising
which republican abuses have caused
and yet hesitates to adopt real and
substantial reforms"
The statement was called forth be-
cause of the allegation made by Mr..
Taft in his speech of acceptance at
Cincinnati that Mr.. Bryan was de-
stroyer of business.
II read it and shall discuss it as I
deal with the various subjects upon
which it treats said Mr. Bryan. For
instance, in a speech at Topeka, be-
tween now and the first of September,
shall discuss the guaranty of banks
and contrast Mr.. Tafts position with
the democratic position. In my labor
day speech at Chicago on the 7th of
September, shall discuss his attitude
on the labor question. In other
speeches shall discuss his attitude on
the tariff question, the trust question
and other questions upon which he has
expressed himself.
1.-THE most noticeable feature of his
speech is his attempt to amend the
republican platform by ENGRAVING up
on 1t some of the planks Of the demo
cratic platform. He is evidently not
satisfied with the work of his con.
vention, and is deeply impressed by
| the work of the democratic conven
ton"
Confirmation was given by Mr.. Bry
an to the report that it was not his in
tention to make any extended cam
paign tour, but only to deliver a few
prepared speeches at central points be

REVENUE OFFICER
MAKES INSPECTION
Visits All SaIoonists and Cigar
Dealers in Rich
mond.
NO ARRESTS ARE MADE.
HE FINDS THAT LOCAL DEALERS
ARE LIVING UP TO THE STRICT
PROVISIONS OF THE REVENUE
STATUTES.

United States Revenue Officer Nc
Kinstry was in the city yesterday and
he made careful inspection Of near
ly all the saloons and cigar stores. It
is understood that he made no arrests
for violations Of the revenue laws, but
he informed the proprietors of the va
rious establishments visited that all
the laws must be infinitely observed.
He informed the saloonists that the
revenue stamps over the bungs of beer
kegs and whisky barrels must be COM
pletely mutilated when the kegs or
barrels were tapped. He also in
formed them that they would be ex-
ed into the wood.
He informed the cigar dealers that
not only must the revenue bands on
empty cigar boxes be destroyed, but
that the stamp burned into the box
must be scraped off.
Within the last few months the rev.
enue men have made several raids on
the local saloonists and cigar dealers
with the result that all the revenue
laws are now being carefully observ-
ed. On the first raid several local sa-
loon keepers were found mixing
| WHISTLES and placing them in bonded
bottles purporting to contain special
brands. Those found doing this were
placed under arrest and in the fall
they will probably be arraigned and
fined in the federal court, that is II
the federal grand jury returns indict
ments against them.
