HEARING is ADVANCED
Weir City School of Mines Case to Be
Heard March 9TH.

The supreme court today advanced
the hearing in the case of Young
against the state university regents to
March T. This is the case wherein
the regents are parties to a writ of
mandamus filed by Young to compel
them to locate the school of mines at
Weir City as provided by the 1911
statutes. Mr.. Young contended in his
petition that he had children he want
ed to send to the proposed school of
mines, but was thwarted of his pur-
pose by the failure of the board of
regents to locate the school
The appropriation for the school is
SIP, 500. 1t should have been located
last summer, but the excuse then Civ
en- for delay was that the prohibitory
law was being violated in Weir CITY.
The law providing for the school gives
the board of regents control of the in
stitution and its instaIlment

WEARS GLASS HEELS

at Washington Ball.

Washington, Jan. 25.=Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, creator of fantasies in
women's fashions, has just surpassed
her previous records and startled
Washington society by calmly appear
ing at a ball wearing cut glass heels
on her slippers.
Along with this effect the modern
Cinderella has created a gown with
tulle shoulder wings and a divided
train, which parts with every step and
gives a fleeing glimpse of the spark
ling heels.
According to one of the surprised
guests at the ball at which the CLINT
ing heels were introduced, Mrs. Long
worth's dancing had the qualities of
sound that are usual only at the din
ner table.
every time she would walk across
the floor the tinkle of her heels
caused every one to turn and stare in
wonder he declared. Most of the
women expressed their delight at the
effect and several of them promised to
emulate the creation at once

thread used for this purpose came at
that time from Holland she commits
stoned friend who was going over
there to purchase for her a twisting
mill. On getting it she at once pro-
ceeded with her thread making, per-
forming every part of she process with
her own hand. The mill she had was
small and ran only II bobbins at a
time. A fine thread equal--and. as
some thought. superior-to the Dutch
was produced. and when specimens of
it were taken to Bath by Lady Blantye
a near neighbor of the family, the max
ers of lace there at once saw its value.
Thus a trade in "Bargarran thread

GOT WIFE'S MONEY
For This Charles S. King Is Convicted
of EmbezzIement.

Charles S. King was today found
guilty of obtaining money from his
wife under false pretenses by jury in
Judge Dana's division of the district
court. King is said to have induced
his wife to give him s155 with which
he was to take dispositions in a case
he said was pending against an insur-
ance company.
King was married to the woman
several months ago. She testified that
her new husband represented that he
owned considerable property and she
believed he was wealthy. Last fall,
he told his wife pitiable story of how
a house in Topeka, which he owned,
was destroyed by fire. He wanted to
collect the insurance and his wife
loaned him $155 to prosecute the case.
Then Kings health failed and he
went to Colorado. His wife learned
that her brand new husband had no
property. that none was destroyed by
fire and that she was the victim of
a clever scheme. She then planned to
sue King for divorce, but wrote him
several endearing letters while in Col
orado. Later he was arrested on a
state warrant and brought to Topeka.
