1t is scarcely necessary to say that the
annual fall millinery display of w, G..
Barton, held on Saturday, Monday and
tuesday, fully met the expectations of
the many ladies who patronize the store
OF this popular merchant. The front
windows were appropriately decorated
for the occasion. One of them was trim
med in castor, the leading color of the
season; the other in black and green,
with a beautiful array of cut flowers:
and both contained hats and bonnets
trimmed in the most artistic styles In
the millinery rooms was a fine display of
hats, the shirring and tucking work upon
them attesting to the skill of the attract
I've milliners and representing a labor
that is not appreciated by those who buv
the hats without enhancement of price
because of the extra work. Among the
styles noticed were black velvet poke.
tafteta silk facing, trimmed with five
plumes, one of the popular hats Of the
season; very handsome hunters green
velvet shirred hat, trimmed with three
Of the natural plumes; sample castor tur-
ban, trimmed with castor velvet and
brown owl wings; new shade bluey hst,

TOPEKA, Kan, March lO.-The house
passed the bill framed by the commit
tee on insurance fixing the liability OF

provides that whenever any policy

fire, tornado or lightning, and the
property insured shall be wholly de-
stroyed, without criminal fault on
the part of the assured or
his assigns, the amount Of
insurance written in such policy
shall be taken conclusively to be the
true value of the property insured, and
the true amount of loss and measure Of
damage, and the payment of money as
premium for insurance shall be prima
facie evidence that the party paying
such insurance is the owner of the
property insured.
