dotted challis is trimmed with lace
and banding, but lawn, batiste,
French gingham and all the inexpen-
sive wash fabrics are admirable for
the purpose, and lace, embroidery or
any preferred finish can be used. The
big collar is becoming and attractive,
and the elbow sleeves are eminently
graceful, but the long ones, finished
with cuffs, possess certain practical
advantages so that the choice of the
two is likely to be welcome one.
The jacket Is made with fronts and
back and the circular basque portion,
which is joined to it by means of a
belt. The collar is arranged over the
neck and shoulders, and both the ell
bow sleeves and the long ones are
,athered into bands. The long
,leeves are left plain, however, while
he elbow sleeves are finished with
pointed frills.
The quantity of material required

broidery, four yards of insertion and

Tucked Blouse or Shirt Waist.

The simply tucked shirt waist is a
prime favorite and fills an all impor-
tant place in every wardrobe. 1t can
be trimmed with a little embroidery
or with frills, as in this instance, or 1t
can be left plain, and 1t can be made
from whole host of attractive mate
rials while 1t is equally well adapted
to the gown and to the odd blouse.
In this instance handkerchief linen Is
finished with frills of the same and
with bands that are scalloped at their
edges, but madras can be used for
such waist as this, the cotton lawns
are in every way desirable and for an
entire gown such materials as dimity,
figured batiste, lawns and the like are
charming. The elbow sleeves are
both becoming and comfortable dur
ing the warm weather, but long ones
can be substituted II more severe
effect Is required. In addition to all
the materials mentioned, taffeta and
the very thin wash flannels both are
suited to the model which, when
made from both of these becomes ex-
cellently we'll adapted to hard usage.
The waist is made with fronts and
back The back is tucked to give tap
ering lines to the figure, but the
fronts are arranged in groups of
tucks and are becomingly full and
soft. There is a regulation shirt

An article from the Nashville, Tenn.

An article from the Nashville, Tenn,
Banner, published during l.. T. Coop
er's visit to that city, throws some
light on the remarkable success of the
young mans theories and medicines
in various cities visited by him during
the past year. The article is as fol

'In view of the enormous sale of
Cooper's preparations now going on in
this city and the intense interest
which Mr.. Cooper has stirred up since
his arrival, representative Of the
Banner spent Thursday afternoon at
the young mans headquarters, watch
ing the swarm of humanity come and
go.
During the afternoon the reporter
interviewed many of the callers and
obtained statements from all who
cared to give them as to their expe-
rience with Cooper and his prepara-
tions.
'The following are selected from
those statements as being typical of
the general expression of the people
seen:
'Mr. B. B. Lasater. living at 1924
North Fourth avenue, when inter-
viewed, said: I have been troubled
with my stomach for the past two
years, and have had rheumatism for
more than five years. Sometimes

when / could not even move in bed.
Hard knots would form on my mus
cles, which caused me intense pain.
Gas formed on my stomach after eat

distress, and often was restless and
tossed all night, losing much sleep and
rest.

said: I have been sufferer from

FAMOUS CULVER CASE AGAIN
u. 8. Supreme Court Dismissed
Appeal of Defendant. Judg-
ment and Interest $24, 900.


The United States supreme court on
Monday dismissed the appeal OF Fred

pan,. and the Fidelity Il Deposit Com
pany, his bondsmen, FROM the order OF
Judge Knappen refusing to epjoin the
collection OF the judgment which VIM.
Culver secured against the railroad CON-
pany for personal injuries.
In this case, Mr.. Culver having been
run over by the cars and having both
limbs severed in September, 1902, after
wards commenced suit for damages and
the case was tried three times, Mr.. Cul-
yer receiving verdicts of $4,000, $4,000
and $4,000. The case was in the Mich
igan supreme court, where the judgmen.
WAS affirmed. The road having change
hands, Mr.. Culver sued the Fidelity &
Deposit Company and secured judgment
against them as bondsmen, and after this
WAS appealed and affirmed by the Mich
igan supreme court, an application ~a-
made to the United States supreme
court and denied, after which this last
suit was filed in the United States cir.

When the fishworm swallows the whale.
When the dickey-birds knit wooden

When the doodle bugs travel like frogs,
When the bulldog eats corn like the hen

When the fishes creep over dry land,
And donkeys on bicycles ride,
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride;
When the humming bird brays like

And hmburger smells like cologne,

And wool on the hydraulic ram;

of four thousand dollars per mile
west of Chamberlain, and not to
mention the forty miles of North
western road that entirely escaped
assessment in Pennington county.
But there is additional evidence
of special favoritism to the North
western interests. 1t is shown
unmistakably shown-in the rela-
tive assessment of the two COM
panies as compared with their
respective sworn valuations.
Here are the figures showing the
sworn valuations in the various
places named, as furnished by the
companies and now on file in the
office or the state auditor at Pierre
proving conclusively that Mr.. Craw-
ford's state board of assessment
favored the Northwestern.
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1908-06-04

From the foregoing it will be seen
that Mr.. Crawford, to get at the
assessment of the Milwaukee line,
divided the company's sworn valu-
alton by three, thus fixing the basis
at thirty three and one,third per
cent of the actual valuation. while
the Nor.hwestern's sworn valuation
was divided by four, thus assessing
the Northwestern at twenty five per
cent of its sworn value.
This difference of eight and one
third per cent in favor Of the North
western saves to the company many
thousands of dollars in taxes, for it
is we'll known that taxes in munich

The Big five
A Snap Shot of the Lives of Five
of our Would-Be Great
Men.
They all Home With the
Insurgents.

There are FIVE men in South
Dakota who are Just now prominent
in their efforts to control the state
for their own uses. We hope that
the good people of the state will
make note of the line up of the
"Big Five" as they are called and
govern themselves accordingly.
Robert j. Gamble is the first.
He pleaded guilty to the charge of
keeping his son on the government
payroll as senate employee while
the Young man was attending school
one hundred miles away, thus
teaching his own son the vile lesson
of graft, and meanwhile saving him.
self the cost of the young mans
education. Mr.. Gamble was duly
whitewashed, and two of the men
who welded the brush are now on
the insurgent ticket.
Coe l. Crawford comes second.
He employed four young men and
gave them 500 each to commit
perjury that the Crawford Cattle
company might secure from the
government without paying for it,
land they were not entitled to. Mr..
Crawford was twice considered by
federal grand jury for graft, and
twice narrowly escaped Indictment.
Others are now serving terms of
Imprisonment for doing exactly
what Crawford did.
o. S. Basford comes third. Mr..
Basford sold out to both sides in the
last capital fight, and admitted it.
He admitted bankrupt insurance
company to do business in this state
and urged his friends by personal
letter to keep on with the company.
In his advocacy of this company, a
prominent insurance man in the
state says that he talked more like
a paid attorney of the company than
like an insurance commissioner,

INSURGENT CRATER
State Issues Warrant to Pay for
Automobile for State Super
intenGent Ustrud.
Another Insurgent Joins
Ranks of Grafters.

Pierre, S. D., May q. Special:
The State Superintendent OF Schools
secures an automobile at the states
expense and today the state auditor
issued warrant to pay for an auto
mobile for Superintendent Ustrud's
Office. When this information leaked
out it created considerable excite
ment at the capital and in insurgent
ranks it created considerable con.
sternation, while the stalwarts took
the matter philosophically, having
become used to hear stories of graft
since the present administration took
possession of the state house, but it
is admitted on all sides that this is
the largest dose of graft which has
come to public notice. The rumors
that the governors postoffce box at
Huron and his telephone in his
house is paid for by the state has
also been corroborated by vouchers
on file in the auditors Office, so
nothing in the way of petty graft
surprises the people, but when
thousand dollar automobiles are paid
for by the state for the use of its
officers it does make the people sit
up and take notice and the people
are beginning to ask where will it
end
