Mems Combination
Underwear, $3.

Women lead the way. They
were the first to have undershirts
and drawers made in one garment.
The success of the idea was al
most instantaneous. For some
reason, men have been slower to
take up with the one-piece gar
ments made for them, but they are
making up for lost time now.
Combination suits reduce the
bulk of the clothing about the
waist; the shirt cannot slip up, nor
the drawers down, and altogether
much comfort is gained by their
use.
We have them in gray, ribbed,
with fancy stripes, and part wool,

n the case OF the Fall Brook Irri-
cation Company VS.. Bradley: Supreme
court Of the United States upheld the
right Of state to divide its territory
into irrigation districts. and tax the
property in the districts for the con-
gtruction Of irrigation works. The ac-
ton was begun by the appellee to pro-
cure an injunction restraining the COL
lector Of the irrigation district from
giving deed to it Of the premises be-
longing to her. based on sale Of her
land made by the collector for nom
payment OF a certain assessment upon
the irrigation district, and to set aside
such assessment, and for other relief,
on the ground that the act incorporat-
Ing the irrigation district was in vio-
latiop OF the constitution Of the United
States and also Of the California state
constitution. The Supreme court held
the Wright irrigation law Of California
valid. overruling the decision of the
Federal Circuit court for the California
district. The decision does not cover
the "inclusion" and exclusion" acts,
which were adopted as amendments to
the main law. The decision is of i'm
portance beyond the limits of the state
OF California, because Of the fact that
other states in the semi-arid region
have adopted the law in substance.

Rivera. Reasons are given in brie
why change was deemed advisable,
and statement was made as to the
probable time when tho orders would

the Madrid government is displcased
at the fact that General Weyler, with
about 100000 troops, has not put down
the Cuban revolt. He has expended
large sums of money, but SO far has
made no decided Roadway in accom-

peace and good order. His troops
have been victorious on occasions, but
they have also met defeat, and the

CHICAGO, Jan. i.-Eecause their
parents thought them too young to
marry, Nellie Urcn, 10 years OF age,
and Obbie Heath, ona year younger,
decided to commit suicide. The girl
killed herself By drinking carbolie
acid, but the nerve OF the youth failed
him at the last moment, and he stood
bv and watched his sweetheart die.
The young couple visited one OF the
downtown theaters, and after the per-
Torrance they walked the streets,
discussing their troubles. Late in the
night they decided that the time to
die had arrived, and entered the coal
shed of Adolph Christensen, which is
fully twelve miles from the theater
where they had been earlier in the
night liere they passed the bottle of
acid back and forth several times,
neither having the courage to drink.
Finally the girl drank half of it, and
as soon as she felt the effects of the
acid she begged young Heath not to
drink it, and he began making efforts
for her relief. She died within a few
hours, however. Heath said he in
tended to drink, but the sight of the
girls agony was too much for him.
