Stolen Horses , It is Said.
Herrlck Press : Along about the
first of November , a fellow came to
Herrlck with a drove of horses and
colts. For several days he kept them
lotted at the Three Star livery barn
In an endeavor to sell them. At that
season of the year horses were not In
great demand hero and wiles were
Blow. A. Xorba dually traded the fol
low an automobile for eight head of
the -horscH and has had them winter
ed at Dr. Lewis' ranch adjoining town ,
where they at at the present time.
Yesterday K. II. Taft of Chamber
lain , proprietor of the Taft hotel at
that place , and owner of a ranch , near
there , came to llerrk'k and with one of
his ranchmen , identllled the animals
and laid claim to them. Mr. Taft
states that the horses together with
six others were stolen from his ranch
at Chamberlain , and six head of thorn
were peddled oft" along the road be
tween Chamberlain and Herrlck and
these he has not been able to llnd
as yet. However , A. .1. Jones pur
chased one of them and fatlll has the
animal at his livery barn here. Mr.
Taft state that one Mike Flynn of
Chamberlain is the party who disposed

automobile. He then drove the ma
chine back to Chamberlain , where ho
remained until , It is presumed , he saw
that the disappearance was being
traced to him , when he decamped and
his whereabouts is unknown at pres
ent. The automobile Is still at Cham
berlain.
It seems that Flyim's father-in-law
is a man of Rome wealth and Is much
Inclined to straighten the matter up
satisfactorily to all parties concerned
if possible , and It Is probable that
those Interested will be able to get
their properties back again without
loss. The horses that were sold along
the road will be located If possible
and It is probable that they are all
In the western portion of this county
nt the present time.
Mr. Taft will leave the horses here
until the winter Is over and the mat
ter is all straigthened out. In the
meantime the authorities are still lookIng -
Ing for Flynn.

Wouldn't this freeze your water

It was 8 below zero In Norfolk

You can hardly blame the ground
hog , though , for he saw his shadow a

There's Rood luck in this one fact
none of that South Dakota snow got

Gregory's Water Bonds.
Gregory County News : Owing to
some slight technicality in the last
bond election for the issuance of water
bonds , another election was held Mon
day pursuant to a call In the regular
way and the error that was made was
remedied and the bonds which were
voted by the people last fall were
again voted Monday. One hundred
and fifty-two votes were cast , 1-15 be
ing for the Issue and seven against it.
While the vote was very light , those
voting for it were considerable more
than a majority of the votes cast at
the last municipal election for the of
fice of mayor and this is the basis
from which the vote was estimated.
The much needed Improvements In
the water system will now be made
possible and no delay will be had in
effecting a sale of the bonds.

A PEERESS LOVED A BROKER.
Now Conn Sues Lady Mlchelham for
Damages.
London. Feb. 1(5. ( Arthur Colin , a
wealthy stockbroker , has sued Lady
Mlchelhnm for damages , alleging that
lusas the author of a telegram to
him which was rend by his wife and
threatened to disrupt their home.
Lady Mlchelham is much younger
than her husband anil Is a very hand
some woman , whose entertainments ,
gowns and jewels have made her a
widely known figure In society. She
IH said to have entertained n great
regard for Colin , more nearly her own
age than her husband , but the stock
broker did not hold the same views
toward Lady Michelham , and , In fact ,
did not Htispect her Interest was other
than that of a hostess to a guest at
her homo. j
Ho experienced n rude awakening on I
a trip to Paris a few months ago to
visit his family sojourning there. He
found his home In the midst of a.
domestic tempest. A telegram addressed - (
dressed to him , which had been re- i ,
colved during the course of the day , j I
was produced and the astounded Colin
read : |
"Week since you hold me in your ,
|
arms. My lips pant for vour kisses.
When see you again ? I
Collettc D'Augny. "
"Hut there Is some mistake , " ho de-j I
i
dared. He was regarded with glances'
of scorn and pity. Ho protested that '
<
ho did not know the vivacious Collotte ,
had never seen her In his life , except
across the footlights when she wasj I
doing her charming dances In stage , | ,
and had no aspirations to hold her j !
in his arms or quench her thirst for
kisses. Finally he agreed to lay the
matter before Mile. D'Augny , and the
dancer was called In to a family coun
cil.
Mile. D'Augny shared Conn's feelings
of indignation over the telegram and
an investigation was started. Thisj I
led to the belief that Lady Mtchelham
had sent the forged telegram and that
her object was to disrupt Cohn's home
in the hope that he would turn to her
in his loneliness.
Mile. D'Augny expressed her feelings
in a suit for damages against Lady
Mlchelham. It'was not allowed to
come to trial , Lady Mlchelham's at
torneys compromising with the dancer
for $12,000.
The rise of Lord Michelham to the
peerage was pointed out as one who
had been known by three different ti
tles within * a twelvemonth. He was
the Haron Do Sterne , a Portuguese ;
Lord Ualfour made him a baronet and
ho was known as Sir Herbert Sterne ,
and a few months later Ualfour had
elevated him to the peerage with the
Lady Mlchelham IB the daughter of
title of Lord Mlchelham.

THE TIP IS NECESSARY THERE.
So Congress Won't Pass Mr. Murphy's
Antl-Tlpping Bill.
Washington. Feb. 1C. The inherent
right of a man to give away his own
money is the rock upon which the
newest "antl-tipplng" bill has again
been split and broken. Representative
Murphy of Missouri introduced the'
annual antl-tipplng bill for the District
of Columbia in the house a few weeks'
ago. It was sent to the district com-j
missioner to see what they thought'
about it , as is usual in such cases.
The multitude of reasons why the
bill should not bo passed is varied ,
but the one which seemed to appeal
most to the commissioners came from
a person who declared that the man
who refused to tip a waiter would be
marked and could beat his butter dish
with a knife for an hour to get a glass
of water or any other service per-
performed.

FIGHTING AMONG SELVES.
Nlcaragunn Insurgents Are at War
With One Another.
Managua , Fob. 1C. The forces of
President Madriz have again taken
possession of Matagalpa , which on
February 10 was occupied by General
Chamorro , one of the insurgent lead
ers. The bombardment of the city ,
which was begun Sunday night , after
notification had been given to the noncombatants -
combatants to withdraw , was aban
doned for some hours and begun again.
The government forces had heavy guns
on the bill , but the Insurgents were
without means to reply at long range.
: Clininorrn , therefore , deemed It advis
able to retreat , ami under the cover of
, darkness vacated the town at an early
hour.
Generals Lara. Chlvarrla. Martinez
and Rlvas , each of whom commanded
sections of the government troops , reoccupied -
occupied the city at noon. Chamorro
did not escape any too soon , as ho was
nearly surrounded by the government
forces , which had been brought as
quickly as the condition of the country
would permit during the last few days.
It Is reported here that General Cha
morro has broken away from General
Estrada and proclaimed himself presi
dent. Overtures have been made to
President Mndrlz by Chamorro through
the medium of American Consular
Agent W. H. Dosavlgny , nt Matagalpa ,
for the re-establishment of peace. Cha-
morro'n offer , embodied In a letter , Is
now In the hands of Vice Consul Cal-
dera , and President Madrlz has as yet
been only unolllclally Informed of the
proposal , but he has already given his
answer , which is that unconditional
surrender and Imprisonment of Cha-
morro are the only terms acceptable.
Food Prices Must Go Higher.
Plainvlew , Neb. , Feb. 1C. Editor
News : The Norfolk News contained
an article of the lloytl County News
In answer to my article concerning the
high cost of living , which sounded
so Hat that a few remarks will not
hurt. The editor doesn't deny that
farmers in this country are paying the
highest wages on earth and are soil-
Ing their product cheaper than any
farmers in the civilized world and yet
he thinks people In this country have
a God-given and constitutional right
"to kick because the price of food
is higher than it used to be. "
Of course people have the right to
kick but In this case kicking does not
do any good , the price of food goes
still higher , because the demand Is
greater than the supply.
If the editor would take into con
sideration that the price on land and
labor Is going upward right along ,
how can ho expect products from
land to get cheaper. The fact that
we are exporting farm products , meats
especially , into Europe every day over
a high tariff ought to convince the
editor of the cheapness of our farm
products In this country. The same
fact ought to convince him that a lit
tle crusade against meat like the
present one doesn't have any effect
on prices , the foreign country can
easily handle our surplus. There you
are , Mr. Editor , until you bring some
kind of a convincing argument.
Yours truly ,
H. SteinkrauB.
MAIL CLERK IS A PASSENGER.
He Has Right to Same Protection from
Railroad as Others.
Springfield , 111. , Feb. 1C. That men
in the employ of the mall service have
the same rights upon railroad trains
as other passengers and that railroad
companies are bound to exercise the
I same care as to their protection from
Injury as regular passengers , the supreme
promo court handed down an opinion
in the case of W. A. Darker against
'
the Chicago , Peoria and St. Louis rail-
! way.
' Barker , a mail clerk , received in-
j juries in a collision and sued the company -
' pany for $10,000. The case was tried
j in the Snngnmon county circuit court ,
where the railroad company set up the
t
defense that a mail carrier was not a
passenger and was not entitled to re-
j cover. Judge Crelghton held that a
mail clerk was a passenger , and a jury
i gave a verdict in the sum of $ ti,000 , on
1 which judgment was later rendered for
the sum of $ I,000. ! The supreme court
upheld the lower court
SHEER MATERIAL FOR SKIRTS.
, ' The New Garment Easy to Make From
a Pattern.
New York , Feb. 1C. Sheer mater
ials , both in woolen and cotton weaves ,
will be much worn the coining season ,
and the newest skirts of such goods
show a slight fullness at the top , held
in place by shirring. One model shown
Is stylish , and the pattern for it may
be secured In five sizes that run from
twenty-two to thirty inches waist
measure.
To copy it in goods thirty-six inches
wide , six and one-half yards will be
needed. Of goods forty-four inches
wide , six yards will bo sufficient.
This skirt may ho quickly and easily
made If , after the garment has been
cut , the perforations indicating the
lines of shirring and the tuck at the
lower edge arc clearly marked , either
with tailors' chalk or with a thread.
The simplest way to arrange for the
cording is to baste the material as di-
reeled by the table , and then stitch It
to form the casing through which the
cord is drawn. After all the cords arc
placed in the casings the nolt must be
adjusted , and then the fullness ar
ranged by drawing the cords. Care
must bo taken that the grain of the
goods is allowed to fall straight from
the waist down.
The seams should have the edges
overcast by hand and then pressed
open. The tuck at the bottom Is
stitched In the usual way , after which
the hem Is turned up.
The skirt closes invisibly at the center -
tor back. This season French women
are practicing economy by having such
skirts made from voile , marquisette
and chiffon and wearing them over
silk skirt they have In their ward
robes.
They also utilize dresses of the prin
cess order for a foundation for these
sheer materials and conceal the joinIng -
Ing at the waist line by n soft girdle
of contrasting goods.
Many of the soft cotton weaves that
are bolng made for warm weather have
the skirts shirred at the top , and fre
quently bands of Insertion take the
place of the corda.
WHITE SERGE FOR SUITS.
Separate Skirts Will be Made of the
Some Material.
New York. Fob. 1C. While Serge
will bo largely used for suits , as well
as for separate skirts , this coming
season. A nice white wide wale ne
can be had for $1.CH a yard and a
piotty one Is only $ ! . ! ! ! ) .
The peasant type dress which has
hail such a vogue In Paris Is now be
ing displayed In New York shops , and ,
owing to UH simplicity , promises to
become popular.
One of the new spring dress models
has a plaited underskirt of plain silk
and nn overdress In the polonaise style
of figured foulard , the ground of which
matches the skirt in color.
The gtilmpe and undersleeveH are of
lace. It Is decidedly pretty and car
ries us back to the styles of n quarter
century ago.
For the woman who considers the
sweater too manlsh for feminine wear ,
there Is a very pretty worsted sacquo.
It is hand crocheted , and can be had In
various colors at $0.75.
As the lit of the gown depends so
much upon the undergarments , the
well dressed woman of today demands
a good tilting petticoat.
The tailor made article , with Its
severe , close fitting lines and the sim
ple finish of tucks or folds , Is there
fore in the greatest demand. H should
he the same color as the gown.
Imported patent leather handbags ,
In all the new spring colors1 to match
the costume , are extremely pretty.
They are in the popular medium size
and only $ G.
Advance displays of hats for tlicTilt-
tie people show a preference for the
Mllans with a simple trimming of
shirred ribbon or velvet ribbon and
tiny blossoms. Even the wee little
tots will wear these hats this sum
mer.
Chiffon scarfs trimmed with mara
bou or the white fur are finding favor
for evening wear. The fur Is applied
either as a simple bonier or as bands
to cover the entire scarf. One in
brown chiffon over green crepe do
chine has the marabou bands and is
a beauty at $18.00.
Maline figures largely In the new-
hat trimmings. One hat with a brim
of rough straw has a full tain crown
of mallne , and the only trimming be
ing a straw cabochon.
Another is made entirely of black
maline. prettily shirred.
OLD GOWNS ARE MADE NEW.
A Woman's Shop in New York Com
bats the High Cost of Living.
New York , Feb. 1C. A mending
shop has been established on East
Twenty-eighth street , not far from
"the avenues , " and within easy dis
tance of homes provided witli the lat
est models of motors or the old fash
ioned victorias with coachmen who
have a proper disregard for Twentieth
Century trafllc regulations , for the new
rich and the old rich patronize the
shop In question and hobnob over the j ,
best way of making a last year's frock I
look as if it had come fresh from the ,
hand of the modiste. | | '
The secret as to what becomes of
the fashionable gowns that are bought J j i
is one of the perplexing conundrums' '
of the other woman whoso modes ) '
wnrdtobo contain s possibly two or I I
three new outfits a year , some of them'
ready-made. Some women can give
these to the poor relations or even to.
I
the maid when they get a bit shabby. '
Doucet , Agnes , Cnllot frocks , however , I
are entirely out of the question for
the "hired help , " and oven poor relations - ,
lations of the upper classes find it dif- j j |
licult to make occasion and costume j I
lit.
The clever woman who has discovered - I '
j
ed and catered to this need says it
is a frequent occurrence for a society
woman to be swamped by the contents
of her wardrobe. A great many wo
men sell their frocks to second-hand ,
dealers for ridiculous sums.
"Not very long ago , " says the wo
man , "a fashionable woman told me ,
as her maid opened the tloor of the
wardrobe and brought out one dress
after another , all of them in perfect i i
condition , half at leapt without anyj
'
sign of ever having been worn , that'
she wanted to get rid of them In order' '
to make place for a fresh supply and
sent for a second-hand dealer , who
had been recommended to her. The
dealer looked the equipment over and
calmly informed her that she would
give her $ : ! 5 for the lot of eight cos
tumes. That sum probably represent
ed the cost of the garniture on one
corsage. She was so indignant that
she sent the woman away and turned
to me.
"Taking these frocks as a fair sam
ple of the work that is brought to
me to remodel , there Is really no tro-i I
mentions problem Involved. All of
them had boon purchased in Paris the
year before , and there were slight
changes to bo made In regard to the
sleeves and necks , the two parts of a
gown which show alterations In modes
the quickest. One of the dresses I
took to pieces entirely , only retaining
the princess undergarment of change
able gold colored ponu do solo , and
the garniture of beaded net , worth a
fortune in Itself , of cut crystal nndj
turquoise insets. J made an overdress
for this of a piece of colored chiffon ,
using the same garniture , only of
course , applied differently , and when
It was finished there was absolutely no
trace of the other costume about It.
'The cost of such remodeling ? Well ,
naturally I do not work cheaply. 1
asked $ CO for the remodeling of the
gown I hnvo described , but as the
original price was $250 in Paris and
It had been worn only a few times
and undoubtedly would hnvo been
thrown awny If I had not rescued It ,
I consider that $60 in the light of a
good investment. "

MUSIC DREW T. R. , JR. , TO HER.
Eleanor Alexander , His Fiancee , First
Violin in the Symphony Club.
New York , Feb. 1C. .Miss Eleanor
Butler Alexander , whoso engagement
to 22-year-old Theodore Kosevelt , jr. ,
was announced in her homo , 42 West
Forty-seventh street , was quoted In an
Interview today In which she told
how she first met the former presi
dent's son and how she came to care
for him.
Her aunt , Mrs. Elishn Fulton , helped
the pretty young woman through the
ordeal of the first Interview that she
had ever given to the press. Hut
young Roosevelt's flancco needed lit
tle coaching , for she proved a very
self-possessed , if a very charming girl.
The girl halted a moment her cheeks
reddening. Then she said : "Well
well , I guess maybe I think it's because -
cause he's so brilliant. He has such a
great future , I'm sure. "
"How long have you known Mr.
Hoosevelt ? "
"Only two years , " was the answer.
'I met him first at a house party at
the home of Mrs. Arthur Dodge in
Slmsbury , Conn. Then I didn't see
him again for quite some time until
we renewed our acquaintance at the
Inauguration ball of Mr. Taft in Wash
ington. "
"Hut you have seen him often
since ? "
Mrs. Fulton decided to answer this
herself.
"Almost every week , " she said. "At
least ever since he bos been working
In Hartford , for ho had nearly always
come down over Sunday , so that he
could see Eleanor. "
"Is there anything special which you
think may have drawn you and Mr.
Hoosevelt together , Miss Alexander ? "
"Music. You know he is very fond
of it and so am I. Wo talked of it
a great deal at first , and I played for
him "
"Eleanor , you know , " again volun
teered the aunt , "is OIIP of the first
viollnes in the Symphony club , ot
which David Mamies is the director
and Miss Cullender the president. "
"Where did j-ou study music ? -And
.where were you educated ? "
"I received my early education In
Paris , then came to this country am :
finished it at Miss Spence's school
where I was for six years "
"And finished with honors , " aildeii
'Mrs. Fulton.
"You know your future father-in
law well , of course ? "
"Not very well , " said Miss Alexand
or. "Hut I want to know him better
and I want him to like me. Ethel has
been one of my most intimate friends
for a long time , and I am very , ver >
fond of her mother , whom I came to
know quite well when I was their
guest at Oyster Hay in Nqvomher af
ter their return from Europe. I hope
to be among 'those present' when
Colonel Roosevelt returns home next
summer. I Intend going way down the
bay to meet him. "
Mrs. Fulton supplied some of the
llrst details that have been thought out
for the wedding.
"Miss Ethel Roosevelt will be one of
the bridesmaids , " said the aunt , "and
the maid of honor will be Miss Eliza
beth Hertron , Eleanor's most intimate
friend , who is engaged to Mr. Fahno-
stock. "
A DEFINITE WAIST AGAIN.
The Fashion Has Been Decreed by the
French.
Now York. Feb. li. ( Women are In
have a definite waist line again. That
is the dictum of one of the leading
French fashion papers , and It is sot
forth in the following flowing terms :
"For every day wear Iho ordinary
belt may bo permitted to attend to
this duty. Hut , for dressy occasions
the woman of I'.HO will clasp her form
with a jeweled cincture , or else n
seemingly soft , but in reality , cleverly
honed girdle of silk will form the con
necting link between botllco and skirt.
"Whichever may ho used , It will
have many dangling ends. Sometimes
ribbons throe Inches wide will form
long loops , terminating In a soft large
rosette , attached to the skirt near the
foot. Or the ends of n girdle will be
made of lined and slightly stiffened
satin , finished with heads , or it maybe
bo the entire end will ho worked with
spangles and form a glittering line of
light from waist to foot. "
Women may cheese , in short , be
tween the "Jeweled cincture , " or "tho
glittering line of light , " but they must
mark the region where the untutored
man should place his arm.
