As soon as the outside tita without a wrinkle then the shouldor and side seams are ripped and the whole is sewn together. The material muKt be flexible, such as camel's hair, cashmere, bunting, surah or china crajie. This latter when in black make an exquisite drapery, and indeed the model of the design was in cream colored silk with large garnet figures, and ovtr it wiis draped the black :rape as seen in t he illustration. It is a real relief to tho eyes to see these pretty plain corsages after so many heav-ily laden waists. The other one has the fullness which would have been taken up in darts brought down to the point in front. The whole dress is in drab cash-mere, summer weight, and the front breadths are slashed and lined with old rose silk, whilo the underskirt is of myr-tle green vein tin a, Bordering theslashea are bands of embroidered loaves in rus-set green shadings, and done in chenille, which leaves it in quite high relief. Thia kind of embroidery is very rapidly done, and vory pretty when finished. The sleeves are also slashed on the outer side ami tilled in with velutina, which is cheap, very fashionable and wears well. Those gowns bntton in the back, the buttons being hidden under a narrow box plait, which is laid from the nock to the waist liue. it is a saving of cloth also. Do you want to see two vory protty party dresses, girls? Of conree you do. The little one is of gray Japanese crape, accordeou plaited, with streamers of rink (peachblow pink) ribbons hanging from waist to the foot of the dress, where it is fastened in a loop. A belt of the same goes around tho waist and ia tied in a double bow with long loopa and ends in tho back. Across the front of the corsage is a fichu drajiery of gray tulle, with a pink rosette. Tho sleeve are of crapo and the drees ia modestly low in front anl.ba:k. The pretty Cato-ga- n braid in the dressing of the hair gives a girlish look to the whole. Many young ladies who have low foreheads are parting tho hair in tho middle and combing it back, leaving only one littlo curl down tho middle of the forehead. The gloves are pearl gray. The design of this pretty little gown could be car-ried out in a variety of ways with slight ' alterations. For her blonde friend the other "crea-tion" would be the l.

In the days when huahwliaukani itifented the town he had .several duals with them, and though he made several "angels'" he never received wrious injnry himself. From t he early days Kansas City was t he happy hunting grounds fur pnifoswonul gamblers. Soon after' Chief Speers Uwk charge o the crook rt-hen- i he ordered a gene-- al warfare on all the j.'iming houses, and detailed John Branham. D. C. Snyder, Charlie Ieitsch and Jack Fisher to make the raids. On several occasions in the fall of 18T7, assisted by one or tw other patrol-men, they have run in two hundred gam-blers of a night. The old jail was often filled with prisoners, and those the colls could not accommodate were tuken into tho court room and guarded all night by officers. Tho old jail held some celebrated and desperate characters ia its day. (In a nuil in the cabinet back of Chief .Vpecrg' desk hangs a big powder and hall pMol, with a ball lodged in the barrel ami a load still in ono of the chambers. A neatly printed lalxil tells that the weapon wae used by .lesse James at Independence aud hurst while in his hands. This cabinet contains many interesting relics. There is a splintered billiard rue with a dark red stain and a lock of light brown hair on its end. It tells of a barroom tight on "Battle Row" four years ago, when Billy Panders brained his eompatiion. Above it is a bright new but blood stained ax with which a demented salesman broke the skull of a friend in Hichcws & Con-over- 's hardware storu. Over this and to the right is a brown handled liter Colt's, used by Orth Stein, a newspaper man, to kill Manager Fredericks, of the Walnut Street theatre, because of a wo-man quarrel. Stein is now at large, A black British bulldog is shown which was used by Jack McBride, alias Jack IVmpsey, to shoot Offlir Steve Register. On the evening of June.14, 1887, the men on watch at the elevated station heard shots in the eastern pe.rtof tha eity, and al-most immediately a call for the patrol wagon was rung in. The wagon went, east to Ciherry street, and on the way passed Officers George Silvers and Steve Register who had been following two auspicious looking men. Tho waKon went out to Cherry street, but finding all quiet returned. When the two officers reached Third and Locust streets they met a citizen who told them that tho parties they wanted had just entered a small house on the bluff forty feet above their heads. The street had lieen graded down so that tho shanty could only be reached in front by a rickety pair of stair. It was a small frame building, frequented by women of ill repute, Oltioer Register went to the rsar to climb up the sloping bank, while Silvers mounted the steps. Register was discovered fey the desperadoes, who opened fire ami shot him in the shoulder. ' , ' ..

The history of man's efforts to protect himself and to bring law and order to a new city in a new country, on the spot where two political factions were wont to meet and settle their differences of opinion with the knife and pistol, cannot be any-thing hut lurid in detail, and the events that transpired during the border warfare and soon after the civil strife had ended have given Kausas City a sensational name and mado it the goal for all small readers of yellow backs in the more eastern states. In the early forties a bridle path led from the river south for threo miles, to the little town of Westport, through whose streets passed all the northerners who went to the prairies, and there likewise gathered the men who sought tho territory to get their escaped blacks and take them back to the Missouri cotton fields. men, who com- - ..- - --sits. meuced shoot- - ing.

Toad-a-Iou- ia a nar-row bit of land, with a high bluff in front and a deep creek in the rear. It waa long tho hangout of bad men and worse wo-men, but has now been somewhat purified. The patrol wagon system haa been iu uso some years. There are two hoodlum wagons and an ambulance. Tha most skillful driver in tho west is Scott Godley, a young Hercules, who handles the reins for No. 1. Ho haa been in the service two years. One of the most notable rides in police history was made two years ago by Oflicer Baldwin, who chased John Brooks into Kansas and captured him thirty miles southwest of the city, near Olathe. Bald-win never once left the saddle in tha long rido which took him five hours. Brooks has been a horse thief since childhood, and ia now 8t years old. When brought be-fore Judge White for sentence be slowly arose, his whole body trembling with age, and said: "Make it a long one, judge, for my next arraignment will be liefore God Almighty, and I guess tho only charge he'll make agin old man Brooks is hosa stealing."

Nobody took a thought for the handful of shanties on the levee near tho mouth of tho Kaw, where an occasional boat loaded a few bales of cotton or leaf tobacco. No-body dreamed of a city with 200,000 people. But the shanties began to grow in numbers. Indian traders and hunters settled near tho two rivers, and bad men from the Missis-sippi and from the central part of the state drifted there, so that when the war broke out a town of several thousand inhab-itants stood on the site of the present city, and a marshal and two deputies assisted Judge Lynch in controlling tho unruly element, which at times broke out in open revolt. During the war the little town was made a Federal post and placed under military discipline. .After peace was deolared tho refuse of both armies formed into gangs which tet rori7-e- the farmers and made the life of the citizens far from monotonous, for pis-tol practice at passing pedestrians was the only recreation of the "bad men" whoocca-sionall- y rode into town. The better minded people felt the need of a more perfect police force, so in 1868 Col. Dick Nelson organized a volunteer service. A big bell was mounted on a hook on the northeast corner of the jail, and on the sign of an outbreak an alarm was rung, and tho members of the force left their places of business and, each slipping a Colts' 41 into his pocket, went to the old building. "While Col. Nel-son's boys were doing their best work a man appeared in Kansas City who was des-tined to become the terror of all thugs for years to come. Thomas M. Speers is under the medium height but thick set and muscular. When he arrived at Kansas City he was not much over thirty and had the reputation of car-rying two men's nerve in one small body. He was almost immediately chosen town marshal and, for a second term. OU) MAN BROOKS AND BU.L LEttiS. In the spring of 1874, after a hard strug-gle at the polls, the better class secured the adoption of a charter and the town be-- I came organized as a city of the second class.

Mr. Speers was named as chief and at each an-nual meeting since then has been The fuvt force numbered twenty-foa- r men and two detectives, Con O'Hare and James McKnight. Con O'Hare is one of the most interest-ing men in tha city. During the war he seared as a private the full four years in in Missouri. After re-ceiving the Uaion army his houorable discharge he was ap-pointed a pel" deputy under Marshal Jeremiah Dowd. and they, with one other man, comprised theforce. ForHrenty-fiv- e years O'Hare haa been in active service. He is of Irish parentage, and a man of j peculiar insight into character.

The severity of its front is relieved by a bay projection running through two of its three stories, and its only ornamentation is the colored glass in the upper parts of the windows. It is very comfortable inside and quite .large enough for the accommodation of the senator and Mrs. Pugh and their occasional guests. Their children have all grown up and mado homes of their own in Alabama. The reception room is on the right of the entrance hall, and separated from it by folding doors is the senator's library, whore he spends most of his time. There is nothing gaudy about the furnishings of the interior, everything being handsome but plain.

In the midst of this mass of foliage, but almost hidden from view, is the home of Representative Ben-ton McMillin. A prettier home it would be hard to find. The grass plot in front is filled with flowering shrubs, and tho rose bush seen iu the picture rises above the two storied veranda and then droops down, covering tho whole front of the place with a wealth of ruddy color. Tba house, which is of brick, stands on a knoll, and tho Cumberland river flows by the lower slope of the grounds. At the north end of the house is a portico overgrown vrith clematis vines bearing giaut flowers seven and eight mcnes across. This portico is continued around the rear and a t the north end is a conser-vatory.
