shot, plaided very faintly with fine lines of darker blue. It's slightly trained, modified bell skirt was trimmed with three ruff1es of black satin edged on both sides with narrow black lace. The blouse waist was a trifle fuller in front than in back and had a pointed white satin yoke partly covered with black chiffon and edged with similar ruffling to that on the skirt Collar and belt were black satin, the former with black and green trimming, and the latter finished in back with bow and long ends. With such beautiful models as this in foulard, it is so easy to promise an abundance of foulards dur ing the summer that everyone might go into the prophecy business.
 Taffetas gain in favor, for all there are some of them that won't wear well enough to pay for making up, to say nothing of the cost of the silk. The number of graduation frocks of taffeta is surprising considering the predjudice in favor of muslin The use of satin in combination with taffeta is new, and many white gowns made of these two materials with finish of null are exquisite Much beruff1ed white taffeta petticoats are quite the daintiest wear.
 Liberty silks run all the others hard, the lighter and more graceful qualities require a taffeta lining, which adds to the expense. India silks in quaint bar barrie designs are being used for bodices of the bandanna order, but lead the observer to suspect that some of these stunning mixed silk bodices draped in very open grenadine posed last year as undraped "bandanna" waists. If you have a bandanna waist. that's a hint worth while. China silk is much used for underwear now, and lovely and durable garments are the result.

FASHION NOTES.
Stylish Summer Silks.

Foulards promise to be plentiful in summer, and blue with white outline in "microbe" designs seems to be well in the favored foreground. Then lot of quaint biscuit color foulards with old fashioned roses or conventional spots and squares in scarlet, white or green, are appearing. Trimmed with yellow lace and cherry ribbons, gowns of these fabrics recall grandmother's frocks very pleasantly Pictured here is a regular beauty of a gown that was carried out in foulard-blue and white

of this drouht is that the railroads of Kansas have cornered the water supply of the state to put into their stock
 Here is another drouth story told by a travelling man; l was driving across the country to little town in western Kansas the other day, when I met a farmer hauling wagon load of water.
 "Where do you get water?" said l,
 Up the road about seven miles," he replied,
 And you haul water seven miles for your family and stock?"
 Yes"
 "Why in the name of sense don't you dig a well?"
 Because it's jest as far one way as the other, stranger. "-Kansas City Journal,

The superintendent of the Minneap- oils public schools has had the eyes of 23,049 children examined under the instructions of competent oculist and among the number 7,293 have been found with defective sight. It is now planned that all school principals in that State shall receive regular in- structions from an oculist, particular attention being given to the elementary facts in ocular anatomy, physiology and hygiene and upon the uses and ap- plication of the test types. etc. The principals must also make practical demonstrations of eye-testing and re- port their work annually to the super intending oculist. By this plan large tIy beneficial results are looked for at small expense.

The graduating class at West Point this year has sixty-five members, all of whom will be entitled to commissions as second lieutenants, but the govern 1nent has no duties to which they can be assigned. In the four branches of the service there is not single va cancy for these young officers, nor is there any probability that there will be for many months. The war authorities account for this by saying that large number of privates and non- -commis- stoned officers have been appointed from the ranks in the last year, al- though the vacancies should have been retained for the West Pointers. The law, however, they find, declares that the enlisted men shall receive recogni- ton In appointments as commissioned officers.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-The Inter-Ocean
will say tomorrow: Six hundred thou
sand dollars have been taken out of the
wheat market on the long side in the
past so days by a syndicate of traders
who are working here through a New
Yorker, George B. French.
The syndicate is mainly composed of
wealthy Wall street men. A number
of ST. Louis traders and Joseph Letter
Of this city are also said to be inter-
ested. They started a bull campaign
in wheat over 60 days ago, buying July
wheat when prices were 10 to 10 cents
lower than at present They made no
demonstrations of their operations. but
bought wheat whenever the local trad
ers had a selling streak. When the
shorts tried to cover, they found that
there was very little wheat to, be had,
and the syndicate quietly sat down on
their holdings and let the short sellers
get the prices up. They accumulated a
line OF over 5,000,0 600 bushels, and the
price was run up Is cents. They took
special pains to sell on the sharp ad-
vances, and while there We're a great

would hold the market stiff uD to the
last, the French syndicate quietly
worked out of their holdings on Friday,
making a profit of 100000.
They replaced their line with Septem-

three days have sold 1000. 900 bushels

tire Satisfaction.

Fact Established to One Mans En-
tire Satisfaction.
Ottawa, Ont, Aug Ar. w. Scott,
secretary of state, was interviewed re-
garding the statement from Washing
ton claiming that Great Britain, on the
official maps, had drawn the boundary
line on the Pacific coast so as to de-
prive the United States of hundreds of
miles of territory adjoining the Klon-
dyke gold fields He had gone into the
question when a member of McKenzie's
administration in 1873. and the pOinl
now raised was discussed then. The
treaty CT st. Petersburg of 1852" said
he. defines the line dividing Russian
territory. now Alaska, from British by
a line drawn north from the foot OF
Prince of Wales island through Port
land channel until it strikes the
mountains. when the method of deIim-
itation was set forth. The map will
show that line running north from
the foot of Prince of Wales island must
go through the Benin canal and that
TO reach Portland canal the line would
have to go east through the open sea
g. considerable distance before it could
reach Portland channel or canal.
The British contention, as shown
by the dispatches of George Manning
to Sir Charles Bagot, when British am
bassador to St. Petersburg. is that
Portland was to be in British territory,
and that the words, Portland canal
in the convention was a mistake for
Benin canal, or else that which is now
called Portland canal was not then so
called. This is supposed by the physic-
al impossibility OF. running a line due
north through Portland canal from the
foot of Prince of Wales island, so that
Canadian maps show the boundary line
as running north through the Benin

only be settled by an international ar
bitratiOn.
The disputed territory, with the ten
marine leagues back from the coast
added, could not, however. embrace the
present gold fields of the Klondyke,
which are clearly in British territory,
because they are well east of the 141st
meridian, which is the recognized
boundary to the north

LOSING COURAGE.
Strike Leaders Not So Confident as
Formerly.

Wheeling, W. Va, Aug. 4.-Except in
the Fairmont region, where ]. w
Rae and Joseph Wood appear to be
making some Roadway, the strike lead
ers are losing courage. The strike in
the Kanawha valley is a failure thus
far, while in the New river region there
has been but little to lend encourage
ment On the Norfolk & Western there
is nothing TO indicate that strike was
ever ordered.
Miners day tomorrow is looked for
ward TO with the hope that it may
effect a change, especially in the
Wheeling district, where so much was
expected and so little accomplished, all
the miners but so being at work again.
The disorder at Corinth last night
leads to the fear that serious trouble
may follow an attempt to arrest tie
foreigners who were mixed I'D IN it.
There is a feud between the Italian and
Hungarian miners, and since they have
taken opposite sides in the strike they
are decidedly dangerous.

Debs win Be Restrained.

Parkersburg. W. Va. Aug. 4.-Upon the
application of James Sloane jr., of Balti-
more, stakeholder in the Mononagh Coke
& Coal company made by Ex-Governor
Fleming, his counsel, Judge Jackson of
the United States court this afternoon
granted a sweeping injunction restraining
Eugene Y. Dds and his associates from in
any way interfering with or m0lesting the
mana cement or the conducting of the
property of the Monagh Coke & Coal COM
pany or its employees, or by trespassing
upon the property of the company or the
approaches thereto, or inciring its en-
ployees to strike, or interfering in any
msnnec whatever. either by word or deed
in the company's affairs. The text of the
writ covers everything that can possibly
be construed into an infringement Of the
rights OF the corporation, and practically
prevents all future agitation in the vic;n-
ity of the Mononagh companys mines.
