all these changes Is to be. There Is no ques-
ton but sleeves are smaller and skirts
narrower In the very newest costumes,
but In thin materials particularly there
seems no limit to the width OF skirts and
no perceptible shrinkage in the size of
sleeves, that Is, about the shoulder or the
upper arm. From just above the elbow to
the wrist they Mt snugly and there Is a
wrinkle shirred look much like that given
by the, long evening gloveK,, The puff
effect on the upper arm serves to give the
desired breadth across the shoulders
which accentuates a small waist and
makes a large one have some slight
curve. Evening waists have most absurd

Skirts are most invariably trimmed
Sometimes the cores are defined by inser-
lions of lace, straps of braid, or cut-work
embroidery or the front breadth Is en-
broidered so that 1t looks like panel; but
at the bottom of skirts Is where new fash
ions are particularly noticeable; small
overlapping ruffies are headed with a
ruche, or a bias rufiie is put on In fer
toons or perhaps with band of ribbon.
At all events, there Is something to break
the straight line down from the waist.

SEARCHING FOR THIEVES
Bag of Shoes Supposed to Have Been Stolen
Pound

Two unknown men who are strangers
in the city were acting rather suspicious
during the latter part of last week TO the
eye of an officer If not 20 any one else.
They had been selling shoes of almost
any size at ridiculously low figure.
The police began to look into the matter
a little closer and Sunday the men were
found in the neighborhood of the Rock
Island depot, were placed under arrest
and taken TO the city building. There
was no evidence against them and they
were released.
Yesterday morning the officers found
a bag full of shoes hidden under house
in the north part Of town, and as they
corresponded with some Of those offered
for sale they were taken charge Of by
the police and taken to headquarters.
The shoes are very common, cheap grade
and We're offered at a ridiculously low
figure. Several merchants of the city
VISITED police headquarters yesterday in
an effort to identify the goods, but up to
O'Clock last night no one had appeared
who could claim them.
III handling them over the brand Of
the Standard Shoe company was discov-
cred and upon examining the records
llept at headquarters it was discovered
that the rear door of the cofnpany's store
on North Main street was found open, a
iaW nights ago by the officer in charge
of that street, and this may throw some
light upon the matter. This was discop-
cred too late last night TO ascertain any
particulars as to whether the company
had lest any goods recently or not, but
taking the circumstances into considera-
ton it looks as though the goods were
stolen from this place No report was
received Gt police headquarters OF any
theft. however, but the officers are still
at work upon the case

SOME TOUCHING SCENES
How a Man Parted With a Prize to Buy
ChrIstmas Things With.

The approach of Christmas is evil
denced. everywhere in Wichita, and
some touching scenes are daily witness
ed
On either side of Main street and
Douglas avenue. Christmas goods of
some kind or another are to be seen in
every window and ii is interesting 10
watch the people go along. A well known
lady started down town yesterday with
a tow hair little sor and they stopped
at every window. The mother had lots
of time and an overpowering curiosity
to find out TO what extent the 4-year-old
little boy would be willing to tax the
generosity of Santa Claus. She esti-
mated the price of everything he ex-
pressed desire to have and by the time
they reached the corner of Main and
Douglas II amounted to 1896. She thinks
that If she had taken both sides of the
two streets that he would have picked
out more than 81 600 worth of toys
One of the most touching scenes wit
messed, however, occurred on the corner
of Main and Water streets. man
drove up there having a team and an
additional horse. He was fine looking
3-year-old and evidently had good blood
In his veins. In the wagon was his wife
and four children, ranging in age from 6
months TO nine years. They remained
on the corner a long time and the man
looked al his priced colt and cherished
children alternately The children wore
anxious looking faces and with their lit
tie thumbs in their mouths they rolled
their large blue eyes around sometimes
focusing them on the mother. then on
the father. then on the colt and back
again on the father and on the mother.
All at once the father jumped out of
the wagon, spoke to the auctioneer and
then both of them walked around the
colt and whispered.
Hear We. hear yet. What am 1 bid on
this fine. 3-year-old colt. sired by the
great Ashland Wilkes and half broth
er to John r. Gentry"
Five dollars, who'll give ten? Did
you say ten, sir?
Il am bid ten dollars for this fine s.
year-old colt, who makes 1t twenty?
Fifteen, | ought not 10 take flfteer-
will not take fifteen. Who gives

Thirty, will you make it, once-who
makes il thirty?
Thirty / have once, twice
"Thirty-two / have. Who makes II
thirty-three? Thirty-two. once, thirty
Two twice. thirty-two three times and"
This was terrible moment The own
err turned pale and red alternately and
then looked ar the half brother John R. I,
Gentry ana then looked at the auctioneer |
and then at the anxious faces of his chill |
dren.
The auctioneer gazed steadily on him |
and watched for some sign OF acques- |
ence. The owner of the horse then start |
ed TO shake his head but before doing so |
took another look at his children He /
saw something that touched his heart as |

tioneer. What followed was dramatic.

The faces Of the children were radient.
the baby seemed TO respond to the joy of
its brothers and sisters, the mother
tlckled its chin and somehow the father
looked to be a much happier man than
he was before.
He pocketed his $33, hitched his team
and happier family never discussed a
display OF Christmas goods during the
entire afternoon.
And so it went yesterday and Satur-
day. Hundreds Of dollars worth of furni-
ture and other things were sold at auc-
ton and in the second hand stores for
the purpose of obtaining ready money to
buy Christmas things for the children's
stockings and turkey and other things
for the family table,

HE SAW SEA SERPENTS
Frank McCaskey had an Attack of Dts
Sunday Night,

Something Of an idea Of the limit in
steadily absorbing alcohol by the way Of
the ailamentary canal was seen Sunday
night. Frank McCasky was seized with
an attack of delerium tremens in the re-
sort known as 120 on North Market
street. He walked leisurely into the
place and entered the room where the
card table stood. He stood around for a
few minutes, and standing thus the at
tack seized him, and he fell to the floor.
He was picked up, placel upon a lounge
and DR.. Hoffman summoned. The pa
troll wagon was also sent for and the
man was. with some difficulty, taken to
the city building.
The attack was a violent one and it re-
CURED four or five men to hotd him He
writhed and struggled constantly and
with all the power ne possessed, but
those about the place, restrained him
from doing any injury. He was remov-
ed to the home of his father yesterday
morning, where he will be taken care OF.

PAINTED THREE TIMES
Mrs. Murphy Causes Considerable excite
ment at the Boston Store.

Considerable excitement was caused
at 10 O'Clock last night in the Boston
Store. Owing to a great rush of Christ
mas trade the clerks remained until that
late hour. Miss Kate Murphy being one
OF them her father came TO accompany
her home and while he was waiting he
tainted three times in succession, twice
IN the store and once on the sidewalk,
falling PROSTATE to the ground every
time. His daughter naturally became
very excited and hysterical, as any
daughter would, and this fact drew the
attention of a large crowd, made up
principally Of the clerks of the store, all
Of whom were departing for home. Mr..
Wallenstein gave Mr.. Murphy and his
daughter every attention. He summoned
Dr. Hoffman who arrived promptly and
administered proper remedies. Miss
Murphy had the sympathy of all her
comrades who rushed about to give her
as much comfort as they possibly could.
