One lady who lives within a few
miles of the city of Augusta and keeps
a flock of hens is making a good thing
in eggs this fall by shipping them to
Boston. The shipments are being
made at the rate Of about one case or
80 dozen per week and for the case
which she shipped Thanksgiving week
she received so cents per dozen.
Another case was shipped Monday
morning and for these she received 54
cents per dozen. all of which goes to
show that when the eggs have passed
through the hands of the commission
merchant and the retailer and come to
the consumer it puts the toothsome
dropped eggs on toast almost within
the luxury list.

SAY PERJuRER CoNFEssEs
Convicted Witness Reported To Have
Retracted Testimony--PIaintiff
is Given $500.

Waterfowl is reported that j. W.
Alderman, % years old, convicted OF
perjury in connection with his testi-
mony in the Scribner damage case
against the Waterloo. Cedar Falls &
Northern railway, in which verdict
for $500 was awarded by jury at
the last September term against the
defendant. has made a complete con-
fession. The action for damages was
brought against the railway company
because Charles Scribner, lad of S
years. climbed on the fender of a
street car while 1t was at rest, and
later fell off, the wheels cutting on
his leg below the knee.
Alderman, who was sentenced a
few days ago to serve not to exceed
ten years In the reformatory. testified
at the Scribner trial that he was a
passenger on the car that ran over
the Scribner boy, that he sat in the
front end next to the front vestibule,
that he saw Motorman Blackmar look
out OF the window and heard him
warn the boy to get Off or he would
be run over. In his confession, 1t is
said, Alderman denies this.
Motorman Blackmar testified at the
suit that he knew nothing OF the boys
presence on the fender. II is report
ed that Alderman summoned Black
mar and apologized to him for giving
the testimony that he did at the trial.

Hemstitched blouses Of sand

IOWA STOCK EXHIBIT
Breeders Are interested in the
Showing at San Francisco
WILL BE AFTER STATE FAIR
Choice Of Those That VIII Be Shown
at Iowa State Fair VIII Be Sent
To the California Elk
position.

Des Moines.--Dean Charles F. Cur
tiss of the Iowa State college at Ames
declares that the Iowa breeders OF
horses, cattle, sheep and swine are
taking a live interest in the Iowa
showing OF live stock to be made in
the autumn at the San Francisco ex-
position. The present Indications are
that there will be one or two special
train loads of stock sent from this
state, he says. He expects the prize
cattle to, be shown in August at the
Iowa state fair so as to be rated in
competition with other exhibits.
Professor Curtiss explains that the
Thirty-sixth general assembly appro-
priated $4,000, and that the commits
sion will use it to pay full transporta-
ton charges both ways on all high
class. meritorious exhibits good
enough to take creditable rank in the
competition at San Francisco.
THE Iowa state fair will afford a
good opportunity to review this stock
before it is shipped to San Francisco,
as probably all of the exhibitors who
are thinking OF showing at San Fran
cisco will wish to have their stock
rated in competition with other ex-
hibits at the Iowa fair" said Dean
Curtiss.
Iowa has decidedly the largest
pure bred live stock interests of any
state in the union and II is the de-
sire and purpose of the Iowa com
mission to have an exhibit there
which will be credit to the state in
every way and commensurate with its
extensive live stock interests. There
is an exceptionally strong demand for
pure bred live stock in the states west
OF the Rocky mountains, and In the
oriental and South American coun-
tries. All Of these states and nations
will be strongly represented at the
live stock show at San Francisco"
The dates of the showing at San
Francisco are: Horses, Sept. 80 to
Oct. 13: beef and dairy cattle, Oct.
IS to Nov. 1; car lots Of fat cattle,
sheep and swine. Nov. IL to IA; sheep
and goats. Nov. to Is; poultry and
pigeons. Nov. is to 2s.

MANY MEN ACT LIKE THIS
Old Bill shlftiess Has His Counter
part in Many Localities Through
out the Country.

"old Bill Shutless dropped into
town last Saturday." the Osborne
Farmer reports. bill went into one
OF the stores and asked for some crepe
tissue paper. His wife had asked him
to get some SO she could make few
little ornaments to improve the looks
Of the front room. She wanted two
colors and Bill found that he would
have to take two rolls, as the mer-
chant would not cut It. They cost 10
cents roll. Bill refused to take It,
saying II was too darn much money
to pay for such useless stun. He then
bought dollars worth of chewing to-
bacco and half-dollar's worth Of CT
gars and went out to see what the
chances were for chipping in on a
consignment Of Kansas City jug house
booze. Bill wants to go to the San
Francisco exposition. His trip to St.
Louis did him SO much good that he
thinks he owes it to his health to take
this trip. Mrs. Shiftless would like to
go, but Bill says he can't see how she
can get away, as there would be no
one at home to look after the stock. p

Shopping bags and purses seem to
be dwindling somewhat in size, but are
still so constructed that they carry
about all the requisites for the shop
ping tour. And no matter how few
their fittings, the small but very good
little mirror is never absent. In the
newest bags 1t is either inserted in
the flap or fastened to the bag with
a narrow ribbon or tape. In many
OF these bags the small coin purse is
fastened to the frame with a long,
slender chain. so that it cannot be
lost.
A variety of shapes is shown in the
group of bags pictured here. Seal,
pin-seal and morocco are the most
fashionable feathers. Innings in fiow-
cred silks showing small blossoms on
a light ground are the most dainty
and the most popular.
Some of these small bags carry a
mirror, tiny comb. a powder box. a
small fiat hat brush, and diminutiye

A group of new breakfast or bou-
doir caps causes one to wonder where
their makers find so many ideas by
which to furnish the variety needed.
There are two distinctly new and one
entirely original design among these.
They are all very simple and easy to
make.
At the left is cap of silver lace
and narrow satin ribbon, which may
be in any color desired II is made of
circular piece of lace about fourteen
inches in diameter. edged with mes
saline ribbon, machine stitched to 1t
in two rows Of stitching. These are far
enough apart to form casing for a
small elastic cord. This is run in and
the lace fulled on 1t to form the cap
and ruffie.
A fan or, petal of lace is made over
a wire support. The narrow ribbon
is stitched to the edge of the fan, as
for the cap. But instead of elastic
cord, fine wire is run in the casing.
The fan should be placed on the cap
before the ruffied edge is stitched on,
as the ribbon covers it's raw edge.
At the right pretty cap is made Of
strips Of ribbon, shadow lace and net.
These form the crown. A band of rib
bon covered with lace extends about
the face, and frill of lace falls in a
little cape at the back. For decora-
ton a narrow band of bead passemen-
terie is sewed to the band, and ribbon
rosettes are set at each side at the end
of the cape. 81
