 The charge of Mr Gardner that | am for Prussia and Prussanism is, of course, utterly untrue. l am for America first, last and all the time and do not take sides in the Euro pean war, In Mir Gardner's opinion, that is my offense.
 "I suppose it is inevitable that in the present situation in regard to po- litical control of the house every man who gets a groueh will be tempted to bluster around and say that he will not play unless he can have his own way That is always one of the re. suits of a very narrow margin of votes. But in the end l think the re- publicans will have the good sense to get together and act as a united party at least in the organization of the house"
 Representative Ienroot of WiscOn. sin. whom Gardner will support for speaker, had no comment 10 make on the situation

All at once ali the women, from Maine to California, have walked up to find themselves inspired by single thought, and that is q desire for q one piece frock "a Ia chemise." With one accord they are demanding straight hanging gowns with little or no dehni- ton at all at the waistine.
 Very soft satin, crepe georgette, or other supple materials are demanded for these frocks, which would not be graceful in any other sort of fabric The shapcliness of the one-piece frock depends upon it's tendency to cling to the wearer's figure. Hence the supple materials used and the devices for weighting them. This is managed in the trimmings.
 It would be hard to find a better ex- ample of the chemise dress than that shown in the picture. Developed in gray or other quiet colors it is beauti- ful for daytime wear, and made up in evening shades 1t is charming for evening. As shown in the picture it is made of g0ld-colored crepe em- broidered with silver beads and trim med with bands of Belgian hare
 For afternoon frock of gray georgette embroidered with steel beads might be banded with Belgian hare or dyed wolf. and the same decoration would look well on a black crepe mod el. Blue wolf which is bhish

 Manager Al Reynolds of the Como hotel sprung a delightful Christmas surprise on his guests No guest of that hotel can say that Santa Clans failed to fi,l stocking for him this Christmas. Every guest found a Xmas stocking on his door knob Christmas morning with toys and fruits and goodies within. This thoughtful act on the part of the man. ager for these far away from their homes was greatly appreciated. Some of the men thanked Mir. Reynolds with tears in their eyes and said that it took them back to their happy child hood days as nothing else could have done. AlT Reynolds says that he has felt repaid a thousand times for the act by the appreciation which has been shown him. Manager Reynolds did the same thing year ago for his guests when the same spirit of grat- jude was expressed.

Louis Sapp, brothers, were declared
guilty of the murder of Dick Watts,
in Hardin county, in January. 1915
by jury which deliberated since
Sunday morning at 1890. The YER
dict, returned this morning at 1C
o'clock, imposes a sentence of &C
years on E. E. Sapp and 20 years on
Louis, the younger of the brothers
The state charged. as motive for
the crime, that E. E. Sapp had hired
Watts to kill Mrs. Sapp, formerly
Mrs. Partain of Bay City, in order tc
get her fortune. They had been mar
ried but a short while, and the wo-
man was much older than Sapp. The
state alleged, also. that Sapp had
made the proposition to S. M. Hazard,
who declined. Mrs. Sapp was killed
while on a hunting trip, Watts and
Hazard being members of the party.

Liverpool made relatively steady
showing while overnight spot advices
showed no apparent weakness, and
there may have been some buying on
apprehensions of further rains in the
Southwest by the end of the week.
The buying became more active dur
ing the early afternoon with July
working up to 1880 and October to
1900 and with the general list SELL
