Chicago, April 15.-Wheat started up
at a hot pace today, making a cent
advance and closing IL cents higher
for May. Covering by shorts scared
by the expectation of reduced stocks,
the excitement in oil, the advance in

today, having apparently become i'm

We're pretty sure TO be materially re-

to cover. The mcagre offerings ere
ated a good deal of warmth and there
were rumors that Armour and other
elevator men We're working the bull
side. All domestic markets We're on
the rampage and the bull sentiment
was still further helped by a large de-
crease in the visible supply and by the
small deliveries in the northwest as
well as at other interior points. The
excitement which has been going on
in oil for some time. the advance in
stocks. the general improvement in spe-
that the northwest would sow less
wheat than usual this spring, all tend
ed to strengthen the feeling in wheat.
There was some reaction before noon,
but the feeling was gnerally strong.

more the smallness of the offerings
than the heavineSS of the amount that

as it became more difficult to buy and
great business was done in the end.

EASTER HATS AND DRESSES.
Gala Day Among the Fair Sex of the Peer
less Princess.

The Peerless Princess came out Sun
day morning with a mighty stiff upper
lip. People say the times are hard and
money scarce, but nobody would think
so by standing around the postoffice
and see the grand April exposition of
hats and dresse. Everything was
loneliness and the man who did not feel
proud of the fair daughters of Wichita
did not have a spark of enthusiasm in
his heart The wheat and oats crop
may be little off, but finer crop of
budding beauties was never seen under
the sun than Wichita saw last Sunday
morning. Young ladies basking in all
the gaiety and glory Of their teens
brushed around the corner toward the
postoffice. bevy after bevy, until one
imagined all was a dream in which ne

that she started in at the court house
and proposed to walk clear to the Rock
Island depot and make the whole dis
lance one trfUmphal march, conQuoring
every block as she came to ii. She
knew she had the sweiiest pair of
sleeves in town and she proposed to
show them. And she had. The arm
holes in these same sleeves before the
dress maker tucked them up in puffs,
were actually seven fete across. They
bore the same propOtionate size to the
young lady that wings do to butter

hearts scowled as she went

was at he postoffice; she completed her
triumph when she marched UP the
church aisle and before a sea of faces
pondered, hesitatingly, which pew she
would take; for nobody ever saw a wo-
man with pretty dress on who did
not stand and study few minutes be-
fore taking a seat in church or the
opera house. Usually Woman'S ambi-
ton eliminates in hats and bonnets on
Easter Sunday, but his year it shifted
to the sleeves.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
STUDYING LATEST FASHIONS

II has been remarked that the stage
and the church are the places to see
the latest fashions in all their glory.
This is to a great extent true. particu-
larly so far as the theater is concerned.
A dramatic artist who does not under
stand and practice the mysteries of the
toilette. so as secure the most desire
able effect, has little chance of success
nowadays. From the lowest TO the
highest in the profession this is thor
oughly understood, and as a matter OF
course, those with money and taste in
the use of il. usually succeed best in
this direction. Among the most ele-
CANT and rechere toiletteS shown on the
stage this season, are those of the
prima donna in ''Amorita," as produced
by the Calhoun Opera company. Most
people might imagine there was little
hope for display in an opera of this
description. but the nature of the per-
Torrance gives an opportunity which
ladies are evidently not slow to take adj
vantage Of. The first dress worn is q
rich. dark plum Colored satin. the lower
skirts and parements of narrow striped
velvet, streaked with gold. The next
is a full dress of exquisite tint of rose
pink crepe. with tablier and waist orna-
menttation of fiounces of fine vaien-
ciennes lace Topped with satin ribbon.
This is a most delicate and tasteful
costume, neither loud nor outre. but
such as any refined lady might becom-
ingly wear in a ballroom. One OF the
showiest dreSSe worn was made and de-
signed by Felix OF Paris, and is of light
pink taffetas and tulle. dotted with
crystal beads. The skirt Is of heavy
pink taffetas, the front, or apron, being
covered with illusion. worked with
crystal beads, and is draped in tiny
wavy folds. which turn in different
directions. Down either side OF the
apron are bundles of reeds covered
with silver tinsel and beads These
ornaments extend from the lower part
of the skirt up the sides. like quilts. and
cover the starting point of a plated
pink taffeta drapery, which terminates
under the lower part of the waist.
