CITIZENS VIEW SEA SERPENT.
Declared Established Beyond Doubt
That Monster Exists In Devils
Lake-Seen by Minister.

Devils Lake.-Stretched out on the
surface Of the bay Of Devils Lake
fronting ChautauQua, the monster sea
serpent basked in the evening sun
shine shortly before sundown while
residents of Chautauqua and Green
wood looked on in silent amazement.
The serpent was viewed from several
different points.
There was no mistake about it. The
monster that has figured in the leg
ends of Devils Lake for half q century
when only the Indians inhabited the
country, or descendant which an
swers the earliest description, was
seen by so many that no one disputs
the fact that it lives in the waters of
the lake.
Sea Serpent Distinctly.
E. M. Lewis and Chas. Pillsbury.
well known bushes men, saw the SER
pent very distinctly, unknown to each
other. 1t was stretched out on the
water about a quarter of mile from
shore. It is described as between fifty
and sixty feet long and between a
foot and two feet in diameter. Capt.
Walter Fursteneau of the police force,
accompanied by his wife. also witness
sed the sight.
The last time the serpent was seen
was couple Of years ago by Rev c..
L. Wallace of the M. E. church. At
that time 1t was in the extreme east
end Of the lake. It happens that this
section is separated from the section
where the serpent was last seen, by a
bridge at the Narrows, which in real
fly is dyke, there being no water
passage. How the monster got into
the west end of the lake is the pre-
sent mystery. That it vaulted the
bridge, or else that there are two SER
oents in the lake, is the conclusion
reached here. In any event, 1t has
been established beyond the question
Of doubt that a monster lives in the
lake and already there is talk of ex.
peditions to get in closer touch with
the freak.

BY remaining the partner of Rosser &

Will the papers ever see the point?
Just as the Lac fixes a mans legal resi-

rocal duties of husband and wife, parent and

To round out the mob we will include two

The twelve jurors, the Superior Court

in the Wilburn case, mob that was per
fectly satisfactory to the noble Slaton.
In the Cantrell cases, tho same mob sent
two Georgians to the scatfold, and Slaton
made no mention of Pontius Plate
In the case of the old North Georgia
tenant, Umphrey, there was no criticism Of
the mob which had condemned him on cir

compare old man Umphrey to Jesus Christ.
The aged tenant was accused OF killing

INDIAN SCALPS
LOCALS With EASE
LONG PRAIRIE MAINTAINS WIN
MING STREAK IN CENTRAL
MINNESOTA LEAGUE.
BAD PITCHING; BUM FIELDING
SAUK CENTRE WILL JOURNEY
TO TODD COUNTY TOWN
NEXT SUNDAY.

Long Prairie, leaders of the Central
Minnesota League, gave Sank Centre
clean-cut drubbing on the local dia-
mond Sunday afternoon in the pres
ence of about 400 fans, big bunch of
which came down from William Lees
town.
Graves, the Indian twirler, was on
the mound for the visitors and he
gave very nifty exhibition of twirl-
ing. He held the locals at bay except
in the second inning when two healthy
singles with a double sandwiched in
between gave the locals a pair of
scores. At no time during the game
was he called upon to exert himself.
The fielding of Sank Centre was
loose, as usual, with one or two plays
that would encourage an ivory hunter
who might be happening along this
way.
Pitcher Graves got on second in the
eighth inning by grace of clean
swat for a pair of cushions. He stray
ed off the bag; an attempt was made
to catch him on the lines. The whole
infield, nearly, gathered about and he
cody logged back and forth between
the players waiting for the inevitable
muff, landing safe on third.
AL. Fish of Sank Centre and young
Lano, of Long Prairie, were calling
them when the game started. Long
Prairie imagined that it was up to
them to "holler" over ever decision
Fish made, because, no doubt of the
cry sent up from Osakis the Sunday
preceding. At that his work was not
half bad, but the youngster was pref
ty punk, thank you, and after a con-
ference of the managers in the fourth
both were sent to the bench and Geo.
Fish took up the thankless job of UNI
pire. Thereafter not kick was made
on either side.
Man for man Long Prairie have it
on the locals by a safe majority if
Sundays game can be taken as any
criterion. Manager Dubeau must
brace his team quickly or they will
have the cellar position cinched be-
yond recall.
Giest of Minneapolis caught for
Sank Centre and besides receiving
well, considering that this was his
first game of the season, he made a
couple of timely hits. Pitcher Vim
cent of Swanville did not shine ex-
ceptionally strong in this game. He
whitfield II, walked 5, soaked a pair
of batsmen in the ribs, and was
touched up for II hits, three of them
going for extra bases.

There were other white dresses, too,
with always the touch of black to give
them the proper smartness. This was
introduced somtimes in the hats; for
instance, a de-brimmed white Milan
trimmed with white daisies, had low
crown of black silk beaver and the
brim edged with black straw. Again
a bag was carried for the distinct pur-
pose of introducing a note of contrast
with the dress. Many were of black,
shiny motor-leather; made in soft
gathered shapes with hand straps
around the body portion, or in oblong
wallet style with the strap on the top.
Even stockings and pumps were pres
sed into service to give the desired
effect. Perpendicular black and white
stripes being best liked in stockings;
the favor in pumps being divided be-
tween white buckskin, touched with
black leather, and white canvas cut in
the same styles as the buck. The SEN
sation of the season, however, are the
walking sticks; another rights VIC
tory! In these, black, shiny sticks pre-
dominate with skin-tight silk covers,
reaching from within six inches of the
bottom to ten of the top. These COW
ers are in white, checker-board, green,
blue, or, in fact any silk to CORES
pond or contrast with the costume.
And so it goes! Now, that milady's
waistline is back in its normal place,
she hunts other fancies wherein to ex-
press her eccentricities.

NEW YORK FASHION
LETTER
Special Correspondence to the Sank Centre Herald

unusual and original are the patterns
that they have taken the trouble to
have each copyrighted, lest manufac-
turers of inferior materials duplicate
the designs. If this house success
fully launches these silks on the mar
ket, and from their record in past
seasons they undoubtedly will, women
will be soon wearing frocks with sill
houetted Dickey birds and checker
boards the conspicuous theme of the
material.
The dyeing and manufacturing
question, however, is chapter by it
self. After all, what does it matter
whether the dresses with their new
found waistlines are white, black or
colored, so long as the result is what
the French term "chic?" This very
thing is brought out in the tub frocks
where all shades of green, blue and
tan are used.
At Long Beach this week, there
were any number of smart pongee,
linen, artificial silk, and cotton ratine
costumes worn. One white linen, in
particular, showed a distinctly new
treatment of the waistline; two pleats
in the front of the bodice formed a
panel under which the straight belt of
the material fastened. The skirt was
laid in inverted box-pleats; the Slew
es were finished with circular cuffs,
and the neck with long shawl collar
of the linen, over which the girl wore
a Quaker Collar of sheer organdy,
fastened in the front with black velvet

dodge the clothes issue by packing up
and hiking off to the country, the
mountains or the shore, she is sadly
mistaken. In the Adirondacks you will
find all the style of the Avenue. There
are the girls with their summer furs,
wide sailor hats and Japanese para
soils, transplanted whole from New
spoiled or blemished.
At one hotel, three hours by bus
from the station, a girl from the me-
tropolis wore taffeta frock that lit
orally followed letter for letter the
Victorian mode. 1t was made of the
NAL, and skirt sectional, formed of
seven tiers, each successive tier fuller
than the one before, gathered at the
top and corded to the section above;
the bodice was plain save for an in
serted V-shaped vest of organdy, and
a soft organdy collar: this was the
product of New York dressmaker,
perfect so far as style was concerned.
So incessant is the demand for blue
taffeta for these dresses, that the
stores have difficulty in keeping it in
stock. The craze is apparent in every
department. Hats are of the French
sailor type; on these the brim is
slightly wider at one side than on the
other, and they are worn trifle tilt
ed. Of blue straw, blue taffeta, or
blue French crepe, they are trimmed
with wings, a single bead ornament,
or gauze flowers, wired in shape.
Pumps are shown in navy blue leath-
er, smartly piped in white, and even
dark blue gloves in gauntlet style
have been introduced. But these are
not as popular as the white silk glow
es, finished with Queen Elizabeth
frills, and worn on the outside of the
dress; for even blue, to be really chic,
must have a dash of white for con-
trast.
The fancy for the popular blue will
be restricted, however, by the short
age of dye material in this country.
One manufacturer made the state
ment that we may be thankful to get
any color if the war continues; and
this no doubt, accounts for the makers
of silks trying to force black-and-
white effects for midsummer and fall.
Already we are seeing, here and there
inthese new noraml waistline dresses,
smart black-and-white effects. One
silk manufacturer is showing a great
variety of Grecian designs in black
and white, and black and gold. So

New York, June Is.

NS" YIN, ouilC 10.
For the first time in three long
years, waistlines return to their nor
NAL place. A logical review of the
past few months discloses two dis
tinct reasons for this change in fash
ion; first, the full skirt, and second,
the corset. 1t is not surprising that
the waistline capered about when cor
sets were trico and silhouette straight
up and down; but now that skirts are
voluminous and corsets real stays,
nipped in at the sides, the joining of
the waist and skirt naturally comes at
the smallest part of the form, name
ly, the waistline, as nature placed it..
1t has taken many months to bring
about the evolution, and even yet
there are those who are loath to give
up their stay-belts and back to nature
corsets. When Joseph, in the early
season exhibited silk frocks with nor
NAL waistlines, many admired this
couturiere's courage; but few recog-
nized the step as style prediction so
soon to be realized.
Today, smart frocks have trim
waists, definitely marked. Whether
you are summering at Hopatcong, es-
Gaping the heat at beach resort, or
passing the early season in town, it is
impossible to be oblivious, to this one
feature, at least, of the mode. Again
and again, fashion repeats herself in
the ever-prevalent blue taffeta dress.
Wherever the New Yorker goes, you
see it. If any one thinks she can
