Some sensation was caused in Vien na, Austria, by the publication in a government organ, the Evening Ga zetts of Prague, of a dispatch from Semlon, opposite Belgrade, reporting the discovery of a strong movement among politicians and military men to depose the reigning Servian (Kara georgevitch) dynasty, and head of which is King Peter, in favor of some prince of an European court. And it sometimes happens that the light of truth casts the shadow of sus picion. A part of the strength of the third battalion, Twenty-flfth infantry, col ored, stationed at Fort Mcintosh, La redo, has been ordered to Fort Reno, Okl. Arrangements have been made for the transportation ot the troops and they will leave Fort Mcintosh. The purpose 'of moving the troops to Fort Reno is to maintain a certain number there upon which to build up a new bat talion to take the place of negro troops discharged because of the Brownsville trouble. PARSONS DRUGGISTS WARNED. No More Illegal Liquor Sales, the May or Tells the oPIice. Mayor Gabriel instructed the chief of police of Parsons to serve notice on the twenty-three drug stores in Parsons that they must not ss in toxicating liquors except upon an ap plication according to law. There ar no saloons in Parsons, the liquor being handled by the druggists who jay an excess on each case of beer bought in Kansas City, this excess finding its way into the city treasury through a committee of citizens. Enjoined and Blown Up. A building just outside of the cor porate limits of Conway Springs, which has been run for several years as a joint and gambling house, was blown up with dynamite. The build ing was empty at the time. An in junction against its use as a place for sale of intoxicants was recently grant ed by the district court. ROBBED DENTISTS OF GOLD.

The burglar took about $350 worth of gold and bridge work at Dr. Nichols's office and $13 worth at Dr. Dr. Nelson's. Dr. Nelson was robbed a year ago. He had placed nearly all his valuable property in a safe yes terday. This is the fourth time in three years that dental offices in Leavenworth have been robbed. OPEN BALLOT ALMOST SURE. Kansas Senatorial Candidates Declar ing Their Positions. It now seems practically certain a.miuisjSai sbsubjj Snnuoo aqj jm will elect a United States senator this winter by an open ballot. Charles Curtis, the candidate in whom the rail roads are said to be especially inter ested, now favors the plan. It has been believed in Kansas that the railroads have been opposed to an open ballot. A secret ballot has been favored by them. There has been much agitation recently for a system of voting whereby the chances for political deals would be minimized. McPherson Gets $2,000 From Carnegie. Prof. S. B. Fahnestock, secretary of McPherson college, has received word from Andrew Carnegie that he will give an additional $2,000 for the new library building in McPherson college.

The new building is now almost complete. His Corn Husking Record. Mount Boone of Howard lays claim to the title of champion corn husker of Kansas. In fourteen days of the present month he has husked 1,429 bushels of Elk county corn on the farm of Heisler brothers near here.

Old Forms of This Useful Adjunct to Toilet Table Replaced by De signs Prettier and Fully as Adequate for Purpose. Pin cushions in floral devices have quite supplanted the more prosaic and stereotyped forms which have long been indicative of this toilet necessity, and bureaus, chiffoniers and toilet tables will this winter blossom out in to regular flower gardens with their s&w appointments. Effective as these cushions are, they are' simple to make, and any woman fond of fancy . work will have no dif ficulty in fashioning a wild rose or a gorgeous sunflower pin cushion for the bureau. Simplest of these cushions are made in the shape of a bag, the top of which spreads out into a pretty blos som. For the bottom of the bag a square or round piece of cardboard is first covered with white or colored Water Lily and Rose Designs. silk to harmonize with the flower it self. To thi3 cardboard covered cir cle or square four panels of silk or lengths or satin ribbon are joined to gether and attached, which forms a HOW TO TREAT OBESITY. Too Much Water or Juicy Food Things to Be Avoided. Drinking too much or eating too much juicy food will make you fat and clumsy, declares an obesity patient. Possibly those who eat but little and are still fat (unless they have fatty degeneration, where all food turns to fat) drink enough to fill them ouj;.. Most thin people drink too little, and the majority of people drink too little water. That is why there are more thin than stout people. Liquid taken into the system does not pass out as soon as it enters, but goes into the blood and all through the body, and you know, how heavy a gal lon of liquid is. Some people, in one form or another, take almost a gallon of liquid a day, and of course it makes them fat and heavy. Another thing, if you drink less liquid, you will have less appetite for food, so reducing will not be such a heroic undertaking. Avoid things that make you thirsty, as too much fruit, sweets, spiced foods, pickles, salt and greasy foods, etc. If you want to get rid of that tired feel ing and be light on your feet, avoid soups, stews, juicy fruit, liquor, etc. The fat woman should let her preserv ing jars lie empty this year, as jellies, preserves and pickles only sharpen her appetite and thirst. Cut oft your water, or rather liquid supply, gradually, as any sudden change to the system is Injurious. Dedication of the Home. A home into which a family have recently moved has been dedicated. Friends met there and an impressive ceremony, comprising chiefly of pass ages of Scripture was carried out. A mother might arrange a similar dedi cation of her own home. She could set apart a day in which all of the family conld be present and each have a part in the ceremony. Songs and recitations relating to the home life could be sung or spoken. Some might try their hand at original songs. The mother, also the father, could give a talk on the meaning of the home and the children could tell what the home meant to them. Souvenirs of the occasion in the form of a picture of the house or a family group photograph could be dis tributed. Such an observance is espe cially appropriate when a new home is entered. Spangled Gowns. The best thing to do with a worn out spangled gown is to purchase at once a new robe and lay in right over the old chiffon and silk foundation. Spangled gowns are by no means ob solete and, according to all present In dications, bid fair to be more popular this year than ever before and the only danger is by their becoming too numerous to remain quite smart. Then, too, the most effective robes are ridiculously inexpensive ,this year and the most of them seem to be of good net, which is an all-important consid eration. Too fine or too stiff a net is to be avoided, for, in all probability, it will scarcely stand the making up Adornment, bag into which cotton, curled hair, sawdust or any other filling is packed and the top gathered and tied with, narrow baby ribbon. The tops which are formed into the flowers, though complicated in appear ance when finished, are easily made. Wild Rose and Sunflower Cushions.; The petals of white, pink or whatever the color may be, are cut from the tied) ends of the ribbon and knotted to lmi-4 tate the scalloped edges of the real! leaves, but if a pansy or a daisy is to be fashioned, the petals are turned down slightly at either side and the effect is decidedly natural. Artificial ' centers may either be bought for k small sum or made by working French knots of embroidery silk and attach ing them to twisted threads waxed so they will stand up in place'. A pretty cushion that is even less difficult to make is fashioned out of a round piece of cardboard, covered with silk, with a layer of cotton batting be neath. On top two or' three roses in a cluster make this cushion effective and decorative. At the top a twisted piece of ribbon is sewed to the edge so it can be hung up. Flower pin cushions are not the , only floral decorative pieces that will v ' be used on dressing tables, for there are hat pin and hair pin holders that are made in imitation of apple bios soma and wild roses. These are easily made by covering a glass tube with a netting, to which the ribbons may - be sewed. About eight pieces, of narrow satin ribbon will cover an ordinary, tube. These pieces are sewed togeth er to make a bag and are held in place at the top by a narrow piece of baby ribbon. Above the baby ribbon, so the petals fall over and inside the tube, the petals of a rose or daisy are at tached, and 'with yellow centers look like a flower that has just burst into- full bloom. ., ' STRING ROLLER IS USEFUL. Little Expense or Time Needed Fop Pretty Present. A useful present and one easily, made is a string roller, and there is no expense except for the baby rib bon it hangs by. Two large spools that any milliner will give yvn are slid on a skewer, which can be obtained from a butcher. The pointed end of the skewer should be cut off, and some pretty paper pasted on the ends of the spools to cover the torn labels. Then the spools are wound with string. It is prettier if one spool is used for colored string and the other for white. The baby ribbon is .tied on each end of the stick in a" many looped bow, and carried up Into a long loop for hanging. This loop should be arranged so that it may be untied for winding new string on the spools. It is convenient to have a small pair of scissors hanging with the roller. To Crystalize Rose Petals.' Select perfect, fragrant , blossoms, separate into petals, spread on an In verted sieve and stand in the air un til dry but not crisp. Make a heavy sirup, using one cup each granulated sugar and water, and cook without stirring until it spins a thread. Flavor this sirup with a few drops essence of rose,,, and color w-ith a tiny bit of Cochineal. Now drop the leaves in one by one, using a fine wire; take out and drain on the greased sieve. Turn once in the process of drying, which will take several hours. If the' leaves then look preserved and clear they will nee'd no further dipping, but if the, petals seem dry and nqt candied dip again, dust with sifted flour and dry. Serve on bon-bon saucers. The Disappearing Basque. The tailor gowns are to be very trim and delicate In outline, . the large clumsy coat and the most unbecoming long basque quite disappearing, and In its place we are to have the smart and graceful short coat in a great many varieties with a small basque all round, either smartly belted or fitting easily to the figure or with the fronts cut short and a large basque at the back only. But one and all will have some fine embroidery and braiding on them on the one or two little waist coats and on the cuffs to the almost inevitable three-quarter sleeves, which are to be fuller and much decorated k
