Butterfly Jewels.

There Is a new way of wearing jew

ed butterflies. There are hundred
different ways Of arranging gorgeous
ins ects, almost any of.them likely to
be becoming. The aim Is to secure
as brilliant effect as possible. The
general feeling In regard to this fash
ion seems to be that the larger the
butterflies the better, but when they
are made Of very rare jewels their
possessor is usually content to have
them of moderate size.
The most exquisite of these orna-
ments are made of diamonds finely

ever, there Is butterfly whose beauty
Is dependent upon less costly gems.
A specimen whose counterpart may
be seen any summers day, poised on
some delicate garden flower, is made
OF clear yellow topazes. Black pearls
are set at intervals along the wings.

Condition In State AS Cleaned By
Weather Bureau Correspondents.

p Des Moines, July 20.-The weather
during the week was almost ideal for
farm work. There was slight def
cheney of temperature, decided de-
fciency of rainfall and an excess, OF
sunshine. The rain came in the form
OF light and widely scattered showers,
the amounts of precipitation being,
generally, less than "a quarter OF an
inch and in no case was there over
one inch reported With such favor
able weather farm work has progress
ed rapidly. A very large acreage OF
belated corn has been plowed and laid
by. About all the winter wheat and
early oats in the southern half OF the
state are now in shock and the har-
vest is well advanced in northern dis
tricts. A great deal OF hay has been
put up in the best of condition. The
clover harvest is about completed and
the timothy harvest will be continued
during the coming week with increased
yigor. There has been considerable
loss of wheat and oats III southern
counties on account of Smelling and
lodging, but there has been no rust
reported from any part OF the state.
EARLY corn is beginning to show its
tassels in many localities, and the
corn crop as whole is reported to
be in good condition, but there are
thousands OF acres on low bottom
lands that are weedy and much of
it cannot mature. Potatoes and gar
den truck aer very thrifty, bur there
is some complaint of potatoes rotting
in districts heretofore too wet.
The special reports from Mahaska
and nearby counties are:
MAHASKA (Oskaloosa) Rain .02;
baying and harvesting progressing
rapidly; fall grain is good; oats light;
early planted corn is beginning to tas-
sell.
MARION (Pella) Rain II; corn
blowing and clover hay harvest about
finished; early oats and barley ready
for the binder; corn Is making fair
growth; best week OF the season for

Lester Mckinsey Asks to Marry Hazel
White While Latter Is Hav-

Des Moines, JulN 2Q-Rushing Il
the aid of his swaethe Hazel White
when he's heard the .,lS;year-old cir
was held fer investigation by humane
officers at police headquarters, Lester
| McKinsey, 10 years old, baker EN-.
ployed at 227 Walnut street, appeared
at the station yesterday to ask to be
| allowed to see the girl to proffer his
hand in marriage. Instead he was
lodged in the city Jail pending the out
come of the investigation of the young
woman's case by the authorities.
Love will lind way, however, and
this morning the young man proposed
to his sweetheart by proxy. He was
accepted in the same manner, and,
providing the humane officers see fit.
the wedding bells will chime merrily
for the pair.
The girl has been held at headuuar-
tiers for several days. She tells a pa
thetic story of misfortune and perse-
cution. She claims to be the adopted
daughter of wealthy retired mer-
chant and ex-soldier of Oskaloosa and
says she believes jealousy upon the
part of her foster fathers new wife
is responsible for the fact that she
was ousted from the home OF the old,
soldier and sent out into the world to
provide for herself. Coming to Des
Moines, she says, she was employed
by persons who asked things OF her
against which her whole being revolt
ed, and who, when she refused are
said to have caused her arrest &

make good wages and can support
wife, but they've put me in Jail and
I'll have to stay until they get through
probing the affair. They won't let
me see her to propose"
Later, the word that McKinsey
wanted to marry her was conveyed to
the girl by third party. She declar-
ed her willingness to become his
wife; he was informed OF her accept
ance, and If the pair are released, rice
and old shoes will be in order.

] The Sale Of Season
- arfa st-i2. z
Tickets Is Limited
to 1000 ;

With the fine program of talent this
year, this number ought to be sold
soon.
1t is limited to this number because
this is all the seating capacity that can
be devoted to Season Tickets at such a
cheap price. Did you know that at
the low price Season Tickets are sold,
and the present seating capacity, we
could not accommodate enough Season
Ticket holders to nearly pay expenses?
Therefore we must rely on General
Admissions and Day Tickets to meet
the deficit.
Parties who subscribed for Season
Tickets at last years Chantauqua are
requested to call at the Secretary
office and get them. That was the
contract on the signed pledge.
TheFe is smpred demand for Season
Tickets this year than, ever before,
and Robert Williams Chairman of the
Tent COMMITTEES, says he has sold more
tents this year than at any time since
he was chairman.
You'd better get that Season Ticket
and order that tent now.
Oskaloosa is going to have the finest
Chautauqua in the state.
Non-transferable Season Tickets are
81. so, and Transferable Family Season
Tickets are $500. At these prices
they must be bought on or before
August It'll.

That's Different.

A citizen approached Mayor Bacon
Monday and asked to have certain
owner of an automobile arrested for
exceeding the statutory rate of speed,
according to the state law. Mr.. Ba-
con asked the usual questions, if he
saw him running, il he knew the
driver. etc. and the man was very
certain of all necessary points. The
mayor then asked the informant to
sign an information. This he re,
fused to do, stating that he did not
care to get into fuss with the man.
The mayor was therefore powerless
to act in the case. II the public
wants these abuses stopped, they must
assist the police officers, who cannot
see all violations.

nors care is punished for permitting

| named in the ordinance.
| The curfew ordinance having pass
ed its first and second readings be-
fore the council, was called up at the
meeting of Monday evening by Coun-
Gilman Frank Glaze and ordered to

sion resulted. some of the council

ordinance on the statute books was a
mistake. The ordinance passed, five
for and two against. Messrs. Glaze,
Cruzen, Hanna, Dickson and Mill

field and Lafollett voting in the mega.
tive.
The new ordinance provides that
all children under the age of sixteen
years must be at their homes and off
nff nin ~

ian, or some one responsible for their

has some legal right to be on the
street after the hour named. .
Children found on the street after
the hour of nine o'clock p. II. will be
arrested without warrant and detain-
ed by the officers until the parents or
guardian can be found and case made
permitting child to be upon the
street after nine o'clock at night par
ent or guardian shall be fined not less
than one dollar nor more than ten.
In case a child is proven incor-
rigible and is frequent offender the
case will go to the juvenile court and
the child will be sent to the reforna-
tory.
The law does not provide for the
ringing of any bell or the blowing of
a whistle or sounding of any other
Curfew alarm. Nine o'clock, however

upon nights when there is a concert
in the park or some other public en-
tertainment or service upon which
occasions the curfew hour is extend

The council also passed tine ordi-
nance regulating the speed OF automo-
biles on the streets. to rate not
greater than a mile in six minutes, or
ten miles an hour. Conviction for vio-
lation of the ordinance is Unable to
the extent of one hundred dollars and

ty dollars for the second, etc The
council is determined that some of the
fellows who have been scorching the
