May Displace King Peter.
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 Fourth Crime of the Kind in Three
Years in Leavenworth. ,
A burglar broke into two dental offi
ces at Leavenworth, that of Dr. C. G.
S. Nichols and that of Dr. B. E. Nel
son. 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.
A large btonze plate has been ordered
which will bear an inscription stating
that the building is the gift of Mr.
Carnegie and this will be placed just
inside the door. The new building is
now almost complete.

PIN CUSHIONS IN FLORAL DE
VICES ARE POPULAR.
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

lengths or satin ribbon are joined to

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
