The Legged Garments to Be

The Absence of the Jersey Leg
gin is Also Noted.
Little Change in Hats-The Fe-
dora in Good Taste.

NEW YORK, March 8. - Advance
fashion plates of the leading designers
and manufacturers of America and
Europe show some startling facts of in
terest TO wheelmeu and wheelwomen.
not the least of which is that this years
costumes show the stamp of eastern
fashion authorities has been set in dis
approval upon boomers and knicker-
bockers for female riders as an outside
garment. All costumes of this descrip-
ton shown in the designs are accom-
panied by short skirt, to be worn upon
the wheel.
That is the edict of the bicycle COS
tuners. Word comes from Paris, where
the knickerbocker was almost univer-
sally worn last season. that the dealers
are manufacturing nothing but the short
skirted costume. The plain five-gored
skirt trimmed in a bewildering variety of
ways is the accepted style. Another
noticeable thing in connection with the
fashions of the coming spring is the alb
sence of the jersey leggin. 1t has been
superseded by the bicycle shoes of the
leggin made of cloth to match the cos
tune In fact, the keynote of the new
costumes is harmony of coloriDg.
Everything must match; cap or hat,
shoe or leggin, bloomer or knickerbocker,
must be of the same cloth the skirt
and jacket, and even the new shirt waists
are of a neutral tint and spotted thickly
with tiny polka dots in imitation of the
pepper and salt effects of the new bicycle
novelty cloth. Madame will not feel
that she is thoroughly in the mode, how
ever, until the butterfly bow of silk
which ties her collar shows the same
colors. And the belt must not be forgot
ten, for il is to play an important part in
the wardrobe of a wheelwomAn. II must
be of leather, and the correct width is
one and one-half inches.
In hats and capes there is no great
change. The only novelties are a Fedo-
I'd, made of the same cloth as the cos
tune. with higher crown and narrower
rolled rim and cape with Tam
O'Shanter crown shaped like Napoleon
hat of few seasons ago; that is, with
the three cornered continental effect.

CH1Nca BUG REPoRr.

ChaReeIIOr sn~w Says the Infection Sur
wives the Winter.
LAWRENCE, March 3.-Chancellor f.
Fl. Snow has his fifth annual chinch bug
report made up. He says in part, the
rainfall from January LIST to June LIST, five
months, was smaller than in any CORE
spending five months during the past IS
years. During the last two months of
this eperiod the chinch bug and all his
relatives were more than multiplying.
Added to this was the fact that the early
spring and corresponding early harvest
of the wheat caused the young bugs to go
earlier into the corn fields than ever be-
fore.
In June, July and August very heavy
rains came, and 1t was noticed that con-
trary to the idea prevalent to a great OK
tent, that heavy rains drown the bugs,
the rains do not destroy the bugs, but
they do give the fungus growing power
and strength that renders il mere deadly.
Chancellor Snow for the fifth time
warns the farmers of the need of watch
fulness in the early spring and during
the late fall. The destruction of the old
brood means a smaller brood the next
season. He advises as he has advised
before, that county org anizations be
formed. having for their sole purpose the
destruction of the chiuch bug.

A CHICAGO "RULER.''
An Alderman Runs AmUck Is
Rolled In the Mud and Arrested.

CHICAGO March 3.-Alderman Will
liam J. Doerr ran amuck last night and
within and hour after he began to run
he was dragged into the GEN.
trail police station covered with
mud, his nose bleeding, his face scratch
ed, an3 deranged fragments of what had
been his coat, were dangling from his
shoulders.
The city father made fight and it
took half a dozen officers to get
him to the police station. He was
only quieted when he WAS thrown fiat on
the floor and a corpulent copper was
seated on his chest.
Doerr began his rampage by running
into trolley car with a buggy. Then
he clinched the car and tried to thrash
the moterman. The conductor came to
his rescue and Doerr tried to shoot him.
They fought all over the car, and final
ly policeman dragged the alderman
into the street This suited the alderman,
and he fought the policeman on the side
walk, on the car track and in the
cutters. When more policemen came
he tried to thrash them as we'll. He
was thumped, battered and rolled in the
mud, but he could not be pacifed, moth
ing suited him. Finally he was dragged
to the station, and when the fat officer
roasted on his respiratory appar atus. the
alderman gave it up. He was bailed out
by friends.

Wheat-There was an easier feeling
from start to finish today, and every time
it bulged up little, was met with heavy
selling orders Receipts in the north
west were considerably lighter than last
year. and were only fair at primary
points. The main bearish feature was
on account of generally favorable weather
over the winter wheat belt, small ex-
ports, and Indifferent cables. On the
other hand, however, cash demand from
millers was very good. and this de-
cline is expected to bring in good
export orders. Receipts in the north
west are about exhausted and no
fear is now entertained regarding large
receipts from that quarter
The situation remains unchanged and
it is only question of short time until
q good advance will be scored
Corn and oats quiet and featureless,
sharing the weakness in wheat TO some
extent. Receipts of corn are increasing
slightly but cribbers are busily engaged
storing it away to await higher prices.
Provisions strong and higher on ac-
count of the light run of hogs and short
covering of pork. 1t is figured that the
heavy run of hogs is now over and that
a good advance is due ia May pork
