while she was visiting at Indianapolis.
She wrote to Mrs. F. d. Reid to claim
Tag Day in Oskaloosa for the hospital
board and they would work 1t up
when she returned. Upon reaching
her home here Mrs. Oppenheimer i'm
mediately took up the work of organ
ization and the enthusiasm that she
inspired brought about the results of
The day.
The task of distributing the tags
and making the collections from early
morning until late at night was a
work that required careful organiza-
ton and the assistance of many will
ing workers. Ine work was success
full and everyone is gratified. The
small army of young ladies We're
shown every courtesy and considera-
zion, and with very. few exceptions
they have only words of praise for
the treatment received from individ-
uals.
The board is appreciatiye of the
treatment shown the young ladies
who sold the tags. The Oskaloosa
Transfer Co. carried them to and from
trains and they had other special priv
ileges accorded them during the day
that were helpful, for all of which
thanks are extended.

RICHARDS CASE SUBMITTED
HEARING BEFORE GOVERNOR
PROVOKED ELOQUENT TALK.
McHenry for Richards and Haye
Against, took Opposite Views
in the Matter.

Des Moines, Nov. 2l.-Governor
Cummins heard eloquent speeches
from Walter McHenry, who appears
in support of w. A. Richards applica
ton for pardon and from L. N
Hayes, of Knoxville, who appeared
for the board of supervisors and re
monstrants in Marion county against
the application. .......
The governor took the case under
advisement and stated that he would
announce a decision before Nov. "a
Mr.. McHenry was accompanied al
the public hearing in the executive
Offices by two brothers of Richards
from Indianola, and other friends OF
the former United States deputy mar
shall were present. Mr.. Hayes was
armed with the resolution of the super
visors of Marion county and the re-
cord in the case in addition to the pc,
titions of remonstrance against the
pardon.
Richards asks a pardon instead OF
parole, it is understood, and there
fore went directly to the governor in
stead of the board of parole.
In making the application Mr.. Ric1.
ards does not raise the question OF
guilt or innocence. His attorney
speaking yesterday, said that though
personally he believed Richards limo,
cent and he appeared without fee on
account of personal friendship and
bic haliaf thot Picbo rd. woo not pIIil.
ty, he insisted that question was not
at issue. The question for the execu'
tive to consider, Mr.. McHenry said
was whether the punishment was now
adequate, a question of humanity and
charity, rather than one of law or
fact "'' ~
The governor indicated, in the
course of the hearing, that the record
and the conviction spoke for them
selves and commanded consideration
on that basis, in view of tie fact that
it was not being insisted that Richards
was innocent
Mr. McHenry, speaking for Richards
insisted that his career as a deputy
United States marshal for fifteen years
and his conscientious discharge of his
duties during that time sAould be
given consideration: He said that
Richards had so long been on the side
of the law, and had himself so many
times ferreted out criminals, that TO
him conviction of a crime was ade-
quate punishment without subsequent
Incarceration. But he has served
three and half years, the attorney
said, and now is fifty-six years of age.
II he is TO remain nue.. longer in
prison it would have been as well to
have given him a life sentence in the
first place.
Mr.. Hayes took the opposite view
He recalled Richards long service to
show that he was in high position,
position of leadership among men,
and when he commanded them for the
uses of crime his offense was the more
heinous and should be vested with a
more certain and drastic punishment
II for no other reason than to deter
others from the path of crime. He
reviewed the crime of robbery for
which Richards and Baird were each
given eighteen years, and insisted that
Richard has not yet Leen adequately
punished and the law properly vindi'
Gated.

WHEN MEN WORE sHAWLs.
Only Article Appropriated by Them
 From the Women's Wardrobe.
From the Pathfinder.

From the Pathfinder.
 On very rare occasions you now see some old lady wearing a shawl, but gen. orally speaking this once universal gar ment has become obsolete. An India or a Persian shawl used to be considered one of the finest feminine possessions in the world and they were handed down from mother to daughter as prized heirlooms. But now if you gave a young woman even a very elegant shawl, costing possi- bly, hundreds of dollars, as many did, she would turn up her beautiful nose at 1t, and if she used 1t at all would make a portiere out of it for her cogy corner. She would never think of wearing it, even If it were the only thing she had.
 The trouble is that shawls are ont of style, and it is easier to drive a camel through the eye of a needle than to get a woman to wear anything that is out of fashion. When womankind took to man nish tailor-made and close-fitting clothes they cast shawls rside, and If they ever come into favor again 1t will only be for one season." as temporary whim, for they have an air about them that Is too old fashioned
 Those children that are say 40 years old or more can probably remember when even men wore shawls, instead Of over coats For about ten years they were considered just the thing. This was tlio decade beginning with about 1S6o Pres ident Lincoln was very partial to his big Scotch shawl, which. aoSordlng to the vogue, he wore, not folded diagonally in feminine fashion, but folded lengthwlse. This folded shawl was passed over the shoulders and around in front, where it was either held by the hands or pinned by a huge shawl pin. This case of the shawl is about the only one where the men have appropriated an article of wear from the womans wardrobe-though the instances where the reverse has happened are legion.
 Even then, the shawl was originally not a woman's garment exclusively, for the Scotch Highlander has his tartan plaid and the men of northern Italy still wear a cloak which Is very little hiore than a shawl.

PROSPERITY RETURNING.
Railroads Will Soon Be Compelled To
 Buy Materials.

Cleveland, O., July 13.-Indications are multiplying in all branches of trade that a return of normal business conditions Is iaploly approaching. Railroad managers especially report a decided improvement, and a sharp demand for cars for ths transportation of all classes of freight
 with the possible exception of steel and iron. prominent railway official said today that while this branch of business continued far below normal 1t no doubt largely resulted from the fact that the ailway companies themselves were not buying material This state of affairs, however he added, could not possibly continue much longer, and the railroads would shortly be compelled to go into the market, and when they did so the de- mand would be sudden as well as heavy.
