pompadour arrangement of hair.
These are only types of several dozens Of
gowns copied from pictures and which made
up most picturesque party. Others there
were almost too elaborate and in consequence
less droll, among which one captivating
gown is distinctly remembered ana which
would have enhanced the charms Of a
Josephine. This was Of white silk brocaded
in flower design, the flowers and their leaves
in natures own colors, combined with plain
white silk, the whole so stiff in its aristo-
cratic elegance as to stand without assistance.
The petticoat aud bodice we're of the brocade,
the very long train was combination of the
plain and brocaded silk; neck cut out back
and iront in a point, finished by an inside
ruffie OF rare old lace; feather band out
lined the vest, which was of brilliant
passementerie representing the colors in the
brocade, and feather band edged the open
fronts of the top skirt.

Yakima's Chances for The Capital.

Chas. Besserer in the Walla Walla
Journal: Ellensburg is an enigma to US.
1t was built up quicker and more sub
stantlally than any city which went
through a devastating fire. What sup
piled the nerve" and incentive, we know
not, for certainly there is not the business
in sight which would justify or warrant
the great outlay in costly business blocks,
but they are here, and the people feel
justly proud Of their beautiful city, so
pleasantly situated. We are inclined to
believe that Ellensburgh will make no
special fight tor the capital next issue,
but may throw her claim and influence
in favor Of Yakima, and should all the
cities Of the inland empire do likewise,
Olympia will find worthy and powerful
competitor for the permanent location Of
the capital Of the state Of Washington in
the infant, yet beautiful city Of North
Yakima. May the longest pole knock
the persimmon.

skillful boxer to indulge In. In dueking
you lose sight Of your opponent for
few seconds, and II the latter happens TO
catch you with a stiff upper-cut Il may be
"all day" with you.
There is considerable folly and nom
sense about keeping yourself in condition.
Most young fellows who go into athletics
imagine they are obliged to follow Q GER
tain diet, go through a severe course Of
training, keep their muscle as hard as
flint, and live, indeed, q very unnatural
existence. My experience teaches me this
is all wrong. Live regular, take just
enough exercise to keep your liver and
circulation active. and don't get your
biceps too tough, for you will very soon
find that very hard muscle will slacken
your speed, and l would not give a rap
for boxer without speed.
A good thing for young fellow TO do
who wants to become boxer is to Join
some worthy athletic club Of amateurs
who hold sparring contests every once in
q while. In a short time he will learn
enough to put on the gloves with some
Of his fellow lHambers. After few bouts
he will find out whether nature intended
him for a champion or not, for all men
are not born champions, and young box
ers will discover this fact sooner or later.

regulate transportation in the exercise Of
its police powers, but the decision must
stand as the law, and the objection Of the
bill is to give to the state the express
consent Of the general government 10 ex-
ercise the same power over interstate COM
merce for the suppression Of the unlaw-
full traffic in Intoxicating liquors as Il now
exercises without question over state COM
merce. The court after reaffirmiug the
opinion in the case Of Muyler vs.. Kansas
and others, where the power Of the state
to prohibit was expressly recognized says: !:
These cases rest on the acknowledged
rights Of the states Of the union to con-
troll their purely internal affairs, and in
so doing TO protect the health, morals and
safety Of their people by regulations that
do not interfere with the powers Of the
general government We do not think
it was the intention Of the trainers Of the
constitution in granting the power to reg
ulete commerce between the states to
prohibit the exercise Of it's legitimate
police power, the object being only to
prevent unjust determinations against
the products Of other states. There is no
theory Of our government deeper seated
in their minds and dearer to the people
than the right Of local self government; !;
the theory that the mass Of governmental
powers, except such as are delegated to
the general government by express grant
or by implication, are vested in the legis.
lature Of the several states, to be exer-
cised for the protection and improvement
Of the people. As u matter Of fact, what
ever may have been the purpose Of the
court in the Bowman case, however that
may have been impelled to decide by
virtue Of the provision on which they
base their judgment, the effect has been
virtually to destroy in many cases, and
in all cases greatly to impair the efficiency
Of the law Of the states for the prevention
Of an evil Of great magnitude. In view
Of the fact that is conceded by all the
court, that congress may grant the power
to the state to apply the same restriction
to interstate as to state roads, and in view
Of the further fact that the states that
have adopted the policy Of prohibition
find the difficulty Of enforcing their laws
as the result Of the decision Of the court
on the question very greatly increased,
and demand that their police power over
this subject shall be unrestricted to the
end that their local policy be enforced,
your committee recommend that the
second section Of the bill be stricken
out and that as thus amended the bill
pass"
This bill, II enacted, will undo all oI
the advantage gained by the antis in the
recent decisions Of the supreme court
1t hardly need be added that steps have
been taken to fight the prohibitionists
on this bill and to see that 1t does mol
slip through. 1t is expected that the
transportation companies will take hand
to protect their interests.

Yakima Soil as Productive as Any.

Spokane SpOkesmdn: The irrigating
canal, which it is said Paul Schulze and
his associates propose to dig in the Yak
ina country, will open up to cultivation
q vast tract Of country that only needs
water to make II as fertile and productive
as any on the globe. The remarkable
success that has attended the Mckee
farm, near North Yakima, on which
everything from tobacco to hops is raised
with success, has demonstrated what can
be done in this arid belt. In few years
after its construction its banks will be
lined with green fields and beautiful gar
dens, tropical in the variety Of their pro-
ductions.

ADVERTISING SCIENtk
AN EXPERT GIVES HIS OPINION
UPON THE SUBJECT.

He Says Newspapers Are the Only Salts
factory Medium-claims to Have origi-
mated Several Styles Of Advertising
which Had Big Runs.
Nobody has tried more different kinds
of advertising than we have" said a
member of a well known clothing firm,
a few days ago, ''or tried the different
kinds o thoroughly. but we have set
tied down now TO regular Eewspaper
advertising. and believe that, for = per
manent business, that alone pays. We
were the first to use the sails Of vessels
in the harbor as an advertising medium.
Then we got up the alphabet puzzle
and gave away a half a million puzzles
while the craze lasted. Afterward we
invented the Waterbury watch idea
We had to do something, because three
of our principal competitors had failed.
and their stocks were being sold for next
to nothing by assignees, so we decided
10 give a Waterbury watch with every
twelve dollars worth of goods pur-
chased. We advertised the watches
wound and set To wind them fast
enough we had to rig up a little machine,
worked like a sewing machine, that
would do the winding. and we kept sew
eral boys at work winding and setting
them Before we quit we had given
away forty thousand of the watches.
NEWSPAPER ADS"
But nothing ever pays US like the or
binary newspaper advertising. The fact
is. there has come to be in this city n
class Of advertisement readers, lust as
there is of news readers. They read the
advertisements every day, and, of course,
the man who wants to attract them has
to get up an advertisement that will do
it. The day of standing advertisements

he's passed. just as the day for painting
signs on rocks and fences or on the sails
OF boats has passed. You must have
something interesting and fresh every
day in the advertisement, and it will bs
read. We have proof Of this all the time
in our business, for an ad sertisement Of
any certain thing is sure to bring throngs
OF people into the torres inquiring for II
next day. BY the number of such in
quiries we rate the success or failure OF
an advertisement. l can guarantee to
oring a thousand people to our stores any
day by the insertion Of an advertisement
of some speciality in the morning papen

the use OF outline cuts in

MUST BE TRUTHFUL.
another thing about advertising of
ate years is the gradual increase in the
truthfulness of it. People are learning
that it doesn't pay to lie in an advertise
ment any better than it does anywhere
else. The theory that a suckers born
every minute and he's just as likely to
come in here as anywhere else won't do
for a permanent thing. 1 think that there
has been a noticeable Improvement In
this respect lately, and that business men
are rapidly learning that honesty is the
best policy In an advertisement as we'll az
outside OF it.
"a curious thing is the difference there
is between advertising for women and
for men. For = man an advertisement
must be abort and to the point. 1t ought
to treat of but one subject and to be writ
ten as tersely as possible. Men read ad-
vertisements on the jump: they never
deliberately sit down t o go through the
advertisements in a paper. For the
women, on the contrary, you can put
in as much detail as you please;
once q woman is attracted TO an
advertisement she will read it all through,
no matter how long it is or how fine the
type is. Then there is no use putting an
advertisement for a man In a Sunday
paper. II you make it big enough to be
seen in one Of those enormous sheets II
will be too long to be read by a man. An
ordinary advertisement, such as would
attract him in a week day paper, is bur
led in the great Sunday editions. But
you a take a page on Sunday and be
certain that the women will look for 1t
and read it all through carefully. Thou
sands Of them buy the papers, and espe-
cially the Sunday papers, for no other
thing than to read the advertisements.
The big dry goods houses know that, and
that Is why they all use the Sunday pa
