WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The pres!den
to-day sent to congress letter from
Gov. Steele, of Oklahoma, representing
that great distress exists among the res
idents of the territory, and requesting
that the attention of congress be called
to the fact The president, in transmit

ceived by me from other sources leads
me to believe that Gov. Steele is alto
gether right in his impression that there
will be, unless relief is afforded, either
by public appropriation or by org anized
individual effort. widespread suffering
among the settlers in Oklahoma. Many
of these people expended in
travel and in providing shelter
for their families all OF their
accumulated means. The crop pros
poets for this year are by reason OF
drought unfavorable, and the ability OF
the territory itself TO provide relief
must be inadequate during this year.
am advised that there is an uneXpended
balance of about 49, 900 of the fund ap-
propriated for the relief of the sufferers
by food upon the Mississippi river and
it's tributaries, and | recommend that
authority be given to use this fund to
meet the most urgent necessities OF the
poorer people in Oklahoma. Steps have
been taken to ascertain more partlcu-
larly the condition of the people
throughout the territory, and if larger
relief should seem to be necessary, the
facts will be submitted to congress-"

THE FEMININE SHIRT.
Society Has Apparently Adopted

Society Has Apparently Adopted
1t as Fashionable Garment.
The shirt has come to stay.
A month ago it was regarded as a
whim of the season; now it is estab-
lished in favor and counted an indis-
pensable feature of well-dressed
Woman's wardrobe.
Heretofore DR.. Mary Walker had sole
claims on the stiff shirt bosom.
Later came Mrs. Jeanette Thurber
in her tweed cutaway coat jauntily but
toned over a waistcoat and sOft-fniShed
shirt, and from the date of the Ameri-
can opera to the last gasp of the Italian
school she remained the one devOtee of
the feminine shirt in New York society.
Now all the tailor-made girls in town
are done up in stiff bosoms, standing
collars and long cuffs, and the old-es-
tablished shirtmakerS have been called
upon to make TO measure. the neither
garment s0long the undisputed proper

The result is a lady's shirt as snug
fitting as a glove, and as comfortable as

made bodice does not show a. crease.

have a band down the front, and a
stiff collar, with another to turn down
over it.
Perhaps the comfort as we'll as
the jauntiness of these shirts
forms their chief recommendation; they
allow perfect freedom of movement,
they are cool and always look fresh.
Not only are they seen on the prom
enade, under yachting, tennis and cy-
cling Jackets, but under the well-ftting
riding coats they are decidedly smart.
From all appearances, society has
adopted the shirt as fashionable and
feminine garment.

RUINED BY HOT WINDS.
Kansas Corn Crop Won't Amount
to ShuckS.

Kansas Corn Crop Won't Amount
to Shucks.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. S.-The latest re-
ports from Kansas regarding the crop is
not of an encouraging nature. July
ended with extreme hot weather, which
has required twice during the present
month. accompanied each time by
scorching hot winds. A week ago
good rain fell in the northern and east
ern portions of the state, but it came too
late to be of any decided benefit to the
growing crops. In many counties of
the state corn is an absolute failure and
is good only for fodder. A total
failure OF this crop is reported in nearly
all of the territory in the northern part
of the state from junction City vest
ward to the state line and from Larned
westward. Only few counties in the
whole state report even fair condition
of corn, and then ranging only from so
to so per cent of the average. The most
favorable conditions cannot now bene-
fit corn very much and less than third
of an average yield is expected, or
about 100000 bushels. Wheat is
nearly all harvested. The yield is bet
ter than expected earlier in the season
and the quality excellent. This crop
was practically made. the drouth occur
ing too late in the season to do any very
great damage.

ROdiCeS.

1t has been bodiceS rather than shirts
that tailors and modisteS have studied
and cogitated and dreamed over. Those
whose fastenings are most intricate and
mysterious, and whose decorations are
most unique and altogether incOm-
prehensible, are the greatest artistic
triumphs. The man who conjectured
that lady attired in one of the Chit
nese puzzles mad climbed through the
bars arranged on the front of hers was
a genius. Apparently innocent pleats
down the back sometimes hide the open
ing, or the shoulder seam, the arch of
the arm and the waist seam provide it.
The shoulder puff or loosely fitting
upper sleeve concealS the fact that
hooks and eyes are fastened there, or
distract attention from it by their own
vagaries.
Not hint must be given Of how the
fastening is accomplished, and the
modiste who can plan seamless bodice
to show the fewest plaits at the waist is
the queen of designers.
Collars, if collars are worn, should
match the sleeves, and are made higher
than ever-either straight or round and
enlarging toward top funnel wise. Mar
row, bright-hued ribbons are tied out
side these high, straight collars, and
may be seen in the shops prepared for
that purpose in pOmpadour designs and
tintings, plaids and gay colors in suit
able lengths and with tringed ends.

Tt Was False.

To the Editor of the GLOBE.
Last Saturday sensational and false
reports, stating that the st. Paul Union
stockyards had been consumed by fire,
were wired throughout the country.
This was evidently done by malicious
or interested parties, with intent to in
jure our business. 1t has kept US busy
making denials. and has been source
of trouble: also to the underwriters
who carry more than million OF in
surance on the property. Will you
kindly deny the report in your paper,
and thus help us to head off the lie?
Very truly. M. u. FLOWER.
Here is the item referred to:

SALTWATER NEWS.
Ell. r. Murdoch Recommended for
First District Judge.

The Washington County Bar associa-
ton, at largely attended meeting held
yesterday, unanimously adopted reso-
luton offered by Fayette Marsh, recon-
mending Gov. Merriam to appoint HOl-
lis r. Murdoch, of Saltwater, to succeed
the late and much lamented w. NJ. Nc
Cluer as Judge of the First judicial dis
trict. Hon. j. n. Castle presided at the
meeting and was among the most earnest
in urging the move taken. Mr.. Muir
dock was also present, but declined to
say that he could accept the office
in any event. He feared that
his ill health would interfere with
the performance of the official duties.
But he was urged TO withhold final
decision until next Monday, to which
day the meeting adjourned. If MIR. Muir
dock then concludes to obey the wishes
of all the local attorneys, committee
of three. as provided for in Mr.. Marsh's
resolution, will be appointed to confer
with the bar of other counties in the
district. Judge Murdoch, who was pro-
bate Judge, is man of refinement and
ease, with worldly treasures sufficient
to relieve him from further active
work, and if he accepts it will be to
please the bar and save the JudgeShlp
to this county, in which no lawyer or
citizen is more highly respected than he.
The three tramps who assaulted Con-
ductor Somers ON Milwaukee road

tinued until Aug. IA. The charge
against the prisoners is assault with a

keeper Erickson to let him through.
Mr.. Erickson recognized the man as a
convict and, of course, blocked his lit

merated on specified day. The returns
give the enumerator's statement of the
time employed in taking them. The
enumeratOr'S account must tally with
the supervisors account. His supple
mentary returns on special schedules
are considered. His accounts are finally
compared with the returns made by the
machine which tabulateS them. If all
these tally the account is passed by the
first accountant. 1t then goes to another
upon the floor above. There it is re-
examined. If passed a second time
Supt, Porter signs the vouchers and
they are sent direct to the enumerators.
After they are returned properly signed
an account or invoice is made out each
day and sent over to the disbursing
clerk. This invoice contains the names
and addresses of the enumerators, with
the amount due. Checks are then filled
out and sent to the enumeratorS.
Whether an enumeratOr gets his pay
quickly or not depends upon the manner
in which his work is DONE If it is free
from mistakes his account is soon aud
tied. If mistakes appear they must be
corrected before he can secure his pay.
An enumeration whose account was
being audited failed to carry to the spe-
cial schedule the name of a woman who
appeared on the general schedule as
rheumatic. This mistake must be cor
rected before he can get his pay. In the
end each enumeration gets just what is
due him, and the government loses
nothing. The same man who audited
the accounts of the enumeratorS ten
years ago audits them now. His ac-
counts then aggregated over S3,OOO,OOO.
All but SLIP was allowed by the treas
ury officials. This sum was paid by his
superior officer, who knew that the ac-
cOuntant was right.
There is subdivision in the Inter-
Ocean building that attends to con-
gested and inflated districts. 1t pays
special attention to frauds upon the cen-
sus. There have been complaints from
about fifty places. Nearly all have
been settled by sendiug out special
agents 10 the districts where the frauds
were alleged. There was great trouble
in the Northwest. UP to July 25 not
single complaint from New York city
and only one from Brooklyn was re-
ceived. The South remained almost
silent. There were protests from only
three Charleston, New Orleans
and Nashville.
The worst cases of fraud were discov-
cred in Minneapolis. Some of the emu
merators conspired to pad the returns.
They wanted to boom their city and fill
their pockets at the same time. There
are many ways, however, Of discover
ing the frauds and mistakes. An emu
merator there reported that there were
2,160 inhabitants in his district. He re-
turned $50 of them as residing on what
the insurance maps show are vacant
lots. Another enumerator reported
that thirty-seven persons were living in
a certain house. The house is so small
that the thirty-seven would have all
average of little less than eight square
feet of space apiece. Over $4,000 names
were struck from the Minneapolis list
as absolutely fraudulent. Supt. Porter
finally decided that nothing short of
complete recount of the entire city,
under trusty special agents, would cor
rect the wholesale frauds.

ARGUMENTS CONCLUDED.
The National Bar Assoc iation Fin.
ishes Its Labors.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 8.-The
National Bar association finished its
labors to-day. Much of the time Of the
last session was devoted to discussing
methods of simplifying legal procedure
in federal courts. Interesting speeches
were made by Messrs. Duke, of Vir-
ginia; Reynolds. of Maryland, and Mr..
Ketcham, of Indiana. The following
subjects were rendered to the standing
committees for report next year: The
need of uniform laws in the making and
transporting of depositions, legal edu-
cation and requirements for adj
mission to the bar in European
countries; the codifcation of laws;
the moral qualifications necessary
for admission to the bar; the need of
an international bar association. Sew
eral amendments to the constitution
were proposed. The committees on
uniformity of law were instructed to
correspond with Canadian bar associa-
tions with view to simplifying legal
business between the two countries.
Resolutions of thanks to the Indianapo-
lis Bar association for the perfect prep
arations made for the comfort of the
National society, to Hon. A. Z. Harris
for his reception and lawn fete in their
honor, and the local press for courtesieS
were adopted.

failed to develop kindly feeling
