THE SUMNER GIRLS.

The sailor hat seems to be sort of
perennial 1t differs but little from those
worn some seasons back.
A pretty turban has a trimming of
satin loops and ostrich tips. One rather
long plume curls back over the hair.
Waists of fancy silk, the fronts shir-
red i'll at the shoulders and waist line,
are worn with skirts in black and all
colors.
Dresses of black and tan are all the
rage. Black velvet, with tan colored
cloth, or vice versa, makes an exceed
ingly effective costume.
A round hat is trimmed with but
terfy bow exactly in front. The effect
is somewhat peculiar, as the loops of the
bow at some distance resemble ears.
A stylish blouse is made on the old
time norfolk plan, with wide, fat plaits.
There are bishops sleeves and very wide
revers of MORE, MORE belt and collar
with narrow galloon trimming.
The fashion for dressing the hair
seems to be tending toward concealing
the ears. Some of the new fashion
plates have the hair in a fluffy mass
that covers the ears altogether, others
merely show the tips. The hair is much
more pulled out than heretofore, and
the prediction is made that any amount
of false hair will become necessary.

the buyer for a store like this. A

which he very cheerfully' occupies
of imparting such Information in re-

as is requested by such customers as
are distrustful of their own ability to
make proper selections. Goods now

Exquisite proportions and unques-

Very Poor Coach Costs More Than a
Very Good Dwelling House.
The average citizen who lives in a nice
little house that he has paid for may
think he has spent lots of money on it,
but it would hardly pay for very in
ferior car on railroad.
Probably the cheapest car made for
railroad use is the ordinary fiat car, which
costs about $3.50. A box car costs $500,
and the ordinary stock car represents a
lay out of $500. The way cars that ride
at the last end of freight train costs in
the neighborhood of $1,000. An aver
age passenger coach costs a railway
company in the region of 5000 or
$4,000. The refrigerator cars that are
built for the trans portation of fruit and
perishable stuffs are the equivalent of
$4,000 in money. A chair car costs
$4,000 and sleeper with all the latest con-
veniences will reach cost of from $12.-
600 to $4,000. For a finely QUILTED
special car that the rich people of the
east come west in with their families to
make the poor man cuss his luck, the
Pullman and Wagner companies gets
daily rental of from $40 to $50, but they
cost the companies that own them from
$4,000 to $25, U00

1t IL All Over the OatsfeIds and Alarms
the HOOsiers.

PERU, Ind, June 27-Many people
are considerably agitated over a myster-
iOus circumstance which is thought to
indicate disaster. 1t is the appearance
of the letter "B" plainly impressed upon
blades of oats growing in the fields.
Acres and acres in all parts of the
country have been found to be thus curl
ously marked and it is no wonder that
imaginative persons can associate
the presence of letter
with foreboding of evil 1t is
claimed that the only otherItime the let
ter was ever found on oats in this man
ner was just before the war of 1912 and
the late civil war. and that the "B"
stands for "bloodshed," which may now
be looked for again. Each blade is
marked by the letter. about half an inch
long, being, it seems, pressed into the
leaf and dlscernible on the other side
Some say that the phenomenon occurs
frequently, but none explain its origin

superintendent of the western division
of the Union Pacific was on the stand in
the LinwoOd wreck case this morning as
an expert on train rules. His examina-
ton by the attorneys both sides was
very close and there were many sharp
sallies made by the attorneys in which
Judge Spillman took frequent hand
The rulings of the court were sharp
and quick and were directed to both
sides with strict impartiality. It was
evidentsthat he had no favors to bestow
and that in his position as judge he
would permit neither side to have any
advantage not warranted by evidence.
The Union Pacific will probably close
today and tomorrow witnesses for the
Rock Island will be given full sway.
