Motion for Continuance.

When Rixey was brought into court At
torney ]. l., Jeffries moved that the case
be continued until October. Common
wealth Attorney Samuel G. Brent sus-
Sested July. a conference was then held
by the attorneys interested and the month
OF September was agreed upon.
Attorney Jeffries moved that the indict-
ments against Rixey be auashed on the
ground that the grand jury was not prop
erly summoned or constituted. which mo-
ton was overruled BY the court. Attorney
Jeffries then demurred to each Indictment
against RiXey and each count thereon.
The court asked. on what grounds and
the attorney said that he did not desire to
say, it not being obligatory to give
reasons for the action in criminal cases
The judge said he could see nothing
wrong with the indictments and also over
ruled this motion.
Both of the foregoing motions were
made by the attorney following a number
OF preliminary questions propounded to
Clerk Greenway and Sergt. Cox relative
to the papers of the court i'm connection

Gives Additional Bond,

Rixey renewed his bond in the sum of
$4,000 and also gave a bond of 5000
additional or a total bond Of $4,000. The
additional 5000 was for the extra indict-
ment recently returned by jury against
Rixey in connection with the collapse Of
the bank. making a total of nine indict-
ments pending against him.
Upon motion Of Commonwealth Attor-
ney Samuel G. Brent the proceedings in
connection with the forfeiture Of Rixeys
former bond in the sum of $4,000 were
dismissed by the court. These proceed
ings were to have been heard Friday
next. but in view of the fact that Rixey
was produced in court, it was not deemed
necessary to pursue the matter further.
RiXey came here over the road in

KNIT CAP is MUCH LIKED
Simple and Useful, and Vet Fashion
able, Adornment Is Altogether
Unique.

Running a close race with the "
rolean bell-shaped hat and threaten
ing to forge ahead of it in popularity
is the close-ftting little knit cap.
Fashion, for once, seems to have de-
waited from her usual custom, and
has prescribed something that is ex-
tremely useful for her patients. There
is no doubt that the knit bonnets are
fetching when their two-color COM
bination is contrasted with the rosy
cheeks and bright eyes Of some young
woman, and as for their usefulness,
thew are as warm as a stocking hat,
are easy to wear, and even when they
are perched carelessly on the head
are much more attractive than most
of the hats that are displayed on the
streets.
Primarily the knit caps are for the
younger women and girls who can
wear such smart flippant things, but
with long, hard winter forecast by
the weather prophet, they are certain
to be worn by older ones as well, for
they are comfortable things to wear
when one is skating or driving, or
coasting down the park toboggans,
when the need of protection is felt.

Signor Puccini, although celebrated
all over the world for his operas, is
still a young man. On the subject of

men, a centenarian, who, had he died
before seventy, would never have seen
any Of his operas produced. Luckily
he lived to so great an age that he re-
ceived for many years the admiration
he deserved. Naturally enough,
though, this splendid artist regretted
his years of obscurity and neglect,
and he frequently spoke bitterly OF
his bad fortune.

life, an Englishman entered his box
at the opera in Rome, and said re.

His Head Was Hard.

It is a common belief that the ne
gro's head is hard, capable OF WITH
standing almost any blow.
The following story told by promi-
nent young dentist of Danville, ILL.,,
would seem to indicate something OF
the kind anywhere. Two negro men
we're employed on tearing down a
three-story brick building. One ne
gro was on top of the building taking
off the bricks and sliding them down
a narrow wooden chute to the ground,
some thirty feet below, where the
other was picking them up and piling
them.
When this latter negro was stoop'
ing over to pick up brick the former
accidentally let one fall, striking him
directly ON the head.
Instead of it's killing him, he merely
looked up, without rising, and said

and the putting on of new-a virtue
that few keyrings possess. If your
esthetic bump is very highly deyel-
oped, you might buttonhole all but
the clasp end of the pin in bright
colored silk or cotton.
Many buttons for coats and other
outer garments are so heavy that no
amount of sewing will keep them firm
ly and permanently in place. Usually
they have a metal loop at the back;
and in this case pin them on by means
of small but strong safety-pins, fasten-
ing the pin securely into the goods
Be sure that it is small enough to be

Dressnakino Hints.

Always begin at the shoulders in
fitting a blouse. If these fit in the
proper manner you need have no
fears about the rest of the bodice.
Always cut the center front OF a
bodice on the straight of the mate
rial. If necessary it may be taken in
very slightly at the waist when being
fitted. But if you slope it much the
set of the blouse, will be wrong, and
this is true even when it is to fit a
very stout figure.

Emnire Waist Difficulties,

The Empire or semi-Empire waist is
dangerous for frocks that are to be
frequently Numbered Skirts of EN-
pire gowns must hang quite straight
from the waist, and If they are pulled
out of shape in ironing or made too
stiff they will not do this. Linen
frocks. therefore, which are to go
away in summer and are expected to
be among the more generally service
able costumes of their owners, will
have the normal waist line.

Hayne, N. CT was in very low
state of health last spring" writes
Mrs. q. V. Spell of this place, "and

tor. and he advised me to try Cardul,

"I continued to take your medicine,

and do not feel as though l could
ever thank you enough for the bene-
fits I have received I shall heartily
recommend Cardui to all similarly af-
ficted, for l think your medicine q
Godsend to all women"
Cardui is successful, because it con-
tains ingredients that act on the weak
womanly organs. They are imported
especially from Europe, by us, and
are not in general use nor for sale
at drug stores, except in the form OF
Cardui. AS result Of the experience
of over so years, Cardui is now known
as a medicine for women, of real
merit, that can always be depended
on.

LACE FRILLS FOR SLIPPERS
Not Expensive, and Have Same Ef-
fec, If Adornment Is Made
at Home.

Satin and soft kid bedroom slip
by simply adding dainty frill OF lace
all about the top. While these new
est slippers are, of course, expensive,
the effect can easily be obtained by
dressing up any pair of pretty satin
mules Or slippers in this way. The
prettiest worsted and knitted slip
pers are now also finished with sh1r-
ring of lace at the top to make them
different from the regular bed slipper,
the same the world over. The mules
bordered at the top with frlll or
lace are then finished with a little
lace roFette, with perhaps tiny clus-
ter of ribbon flowers tucked in the
center.
Almost as expensive as the slipper
itself are the rosettes that adorn it,
but any girl can fashion her own
rosettes for her satin evening slippers
and save considerable in the process.
First of all she should supply her
self with a piece of buckram or can
vas, as without stiff foundation 1t is
impossible to make the rosette keep
it's shape we'll. The different parts
of the bow are all sewed securely to
this foundation before it in turn Is
attached to the slipper.
Silver lace with cluster of ribbon
flowers in the center the color of the
gown makes an attractive finish for a
satin oy light kid slipper. Gold on e
yellow slipper is extremely pretty.
and if desired for a special gown
metal laces can generally be found in
different colored threads. The lace
should be about an inch in width and
is simply gathered about the flowers
in the center or else made into fiat
bowknot with the ribbon flowers for
the center part
The rosette generally carries out
some scheme of color or trimming on
the gown.
