Nothing was known of the robbery in
Whiting until the capture of the thieves.
The mail shipment was not received by
Whiting banks so their Chicago banks
supposing il had gone on further east
sent out another shipment. The agent
Of the Pennsylvania tells Of three men
who acted mysteriously at the depot
when the 1888 train came in on Thurs
day and inquired when they could get
another train for the east.
Chicago reports say that Wejda IS a
clerk in the registry division Of the Chi
cago postoffice. Some months ago he
noted that every Thursday a registered
package consigned to the Bank of Whit
ing from the Federal Reserve Bank went
through the Chicago postoffice. One day
the package was torn and Wejda saw 1t
contained money.

He Immediately took the Phillips boys
into his confidence. and they made plans
to take some of Mr.. Rockefeler's hard

their big problem.
The deluge of confessions that was
under way at o'clock this morning
gives Wejda credit for solving the
puzzle.

Paris has sent us the one-piece coral
and white checked frock is fashioned
Of French muslin, a material closely
resembling fine voile. A deep fold,
hand hemstitched at both top and bot
tom, makes the skirt appear as though
1t had an overskirt. The sleeves, patch
pockets and blouse, too, are trimmed
with hand hemstitching done in coral
colored thread. A particularly inter-
esting feature of this dress is the new
long-shoudered effect. Plain coral
colored material Of the same shade
forms the belt, cuffs and collar which
starts in the front and ties in a bow
at the back of the neck.

Sleeves of lace dresses may be short
and tight, or three-quarter length and
flowing. Necks, whether cut high or
low in the back, are always open at
the throat.
With these dresses are worn large
black hats of mallnes, horsehalr or
lace trimmed with jet, the jet being
used to outline the pattern of the lace
rather than as decided trimming
feature. Gloves may be worn with
these short-sleeved gowns. but Paris
says 1t is smarter to be gloveless.
Evening slippers are Of satin or sill
yer cloth, either plain or brocaded !;
gold cloth slippers are seen no more.
Gowns of metal brocade usually have
slippers made to match. Many of the
new slippers have the large rhine
stone buckles which are so becoming
to slender feet. Tiny bronze buckles
are smart on black slippers.
French Adopt Our Colonial Ideas.
The Colonial lines are featured ex-
tensively in the new slippers, even in
those worn by Parsiennes. 1t seems
strange that the French should adopt
Colonial ideas in their new footwear,
but this Is just what they are doing.
Even satin slippers are made after this
fashion. Some of the new French
slippers have straps across the ankles,
but this style does not appeal to us.
Three years ago Callot made much
Of the smock as blouse, but it was
not at that time taken up by American
buyers. Now the casaque blouse is
seen everywhere. 1t is worn even in
sport things, and the old-time blouse

appearing over the horizon of fashion.
These overblouses, sashed loosely
either with their own material or with
narrow moire ribbons in colors that
give an opportunity to Introduce
charming color effects into our cos
tumery, are especially desirable for
the uncorseted but somewhat mature
! figure, because they conceal the waist
line, which, If defined, invariably

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Inquiries are frequently received as
to whether the operation of dehorn-
ing is very painful, and whether 1t
may not be classed as cruelty to ami
mails. Those who have an extensive
experience In dehorning appear to
agree that the pain induced by the op-
Grafton has been greatly overestlmat-
ed, as careful observation has shown
that shrinkage in the yield of milk as
well as of butterfat following the de-
horning of cows is very temporary and
insignificant. On the other hand, the
worry, pain and cruelty often inflicted
by cattle upon their mates before be-
ing deprived of their horns Is much
more to be considered, and not infre-
quently results in the death of val
