Loose Egyptian Gowns.

The achievement of the weavers and
dyers in making Egyptian fabrics for this
season has given women an opportunity
to concoct house gowns that are the very
essence of the east. What with the sag
ging blouse. the skirt that has no hem,
but rolls up to it's lining to give the effect
of eastern trousers. the hip sash and the
long tight sleeve. the onl ythings needed
were the eastern fabrics. and now they
are here Some of the counters in the
shops remind one of the bazaars of Delhi
and Cairo. for ali the east is reflected in
the fabrics of the moment.
House gowns for wear in ones own
home informally in the evening are made
of these and the effect is sharply differ

fits the arm and flares over the hand, and
the blouse that says over the belt Over

1t was pang of genuine sorrow
that touched the hearts of the people
of Bryan on Saturday afternoon when
it was announced that Mr.. w. p. Bryan

seriously i'll, but his friends and the
people generally were not prepared for
the announcement of his death.
His health failed about year ago
and he went to Chicago and spent
some months there under treatment
and was so greatly benefited that he
returned home thinking he would soon
be completely restored. Such was not
the case, however, and some days ago
1t was necessary for him to return TO
Chicago, accompanied by his wife. for
further treatment. His condition be-
came so critical early last week that

Robert Penman, the father, one of the wealthiest and most respected farmers of the county, sent word that he did not care to come to the jail at this time, as it was not necessary. The mother is prostrated.
 Robert Penman, willing to spend a fortune to save his erring son from the gallows, engaged lawyers with a lavish hand. O. B. Dobbins, mayor of Champaign; c. c. Leforge of Decatur and l.. R. Herrick of Farmer City were retained
 The county board will employ coun- l sel to aid States Attorney Busch, who will demand the death penalty. Pen man was arraigned before Magistrate Snyder, who set Aug 21 as the date ! of the preliminary hearing.
 At this time Penman probably will waive examination He will be tried at the September term of circuit court unless a continuance is obtained. Pub lie sentiment will resent any delay.
 Penman expressed pity for his mother. He spent much of the day reading newspaper accounts of his capture. Will T, Shaw, father of the murdered boy, paid Sheriff Shepard of Danvlle the $200 reward A large section of the population of Ridge Farm is squabbling for the rewart General belief that the line of. de fense in an effort to save Penman from the gallows will be insanity pre- vais. Penman, returning from Dan vile, said to Acting Sheriff Evans. "They say I'm crazy. I'm not; I'm perfectly sane,"
 Edward Penman of Philo, a broth. CT, talked to the prisoner and to the local lawyers.
 Penman slept fairly we'll and ate q hearty breakfast Washed up and clad in clean clothes, he was a different locking yoIth from the weary fugitive hauled out of the boxcar.
 After q talk with his attorney, Pen f1an shut up completely.
 All he would say in answer to ques- tions was that it would all come ou.. in the trial
 The yellow racing car which caused the tragedy is in a local garage Will T. Shaw, the father of Penman's vic tim, says that he never wants to see it again.

 The witness said that he, McDer- mott and Mulhall after conferring at the capitol, would adjourn to din ing room in a small hotel near the capitol, for extended sessions He described the room provided in the capitol for the conferences as "a good place to sleep off trunks"
 How would you or McDermott know about the other having money at these conferences" asked Chair man Garrett.
 Wed just smile at each other" he said. Both of us were careful not to let the other know about how much money we had. If Mulhall gave me two bills I'd hide the larger one and flash the smaller one, because every time I flashed anything over $2 he copped half of it. He would go to the cashier and give him his money and draw $2 and come back to where l was. He'd say to the cashier, For Gods sake, don't let Mac see this We were both doing this
 McDermott Hears Testimony
 Throughout McMichaels testimony Representative McDermott sat direct ly opposite the witness, watching him closely and listening attentively to his story.
 McMichaels told of a conference early in 1912, at a saloon near the capitol, when, he said, he, McDer- mctt and Mulhall drew up resolu- tion providing for the publication of the Mulhall correspondence aud deer. ments. He said that McDermott agreed to see Speaker Clark, Majority Leader Underwood and Republican Leader Mann, and, if they were favor ably inclined, to introduce the resolu- ton in the house
 "Three days later" said the wit ness, "McDermott told Mulhall that he had seen the leaders and that they advised against the introduction of the resolution. McDermOtt lied about that. He hadn't seen the leaders,"

 So you did!" the young man ex- claimed with startled air Now that you mention 1t, I recall something of the sort. But l am going to be sen sible tonight-no romance nor broken hearts at all-nothing of that stuff. 1 am in very serious mood. 1 shan't bother you by repeating my senti- ments of recent date"
 Thank you," the pretty girl said. That Is very much better. l thought you would get over the idea if you took little time"
 You wrong me- said the young man. "1 haven't got over 1t at all. However, let us get away from this delicate subject which seems to cause you ennui. Let's talk about-well about the two-to-one proposition.
 'Two-to-one," the pretty girl repeat ed. "Is 1t anything like the multi plication table?"

 The caller raised his eyebrows. q don't see any foolishness in a scien tific subject" he protested. "I didn't say what two, did I? l might mean couple of fellows or girl and her aged aunt. It's merely a question to which learned men have devoted thought and study"
