Was Fond of The Dance

Fort Smith, Ark. Dec. 2S-A
double tragedy occurred in the
territory near Wan last night. A
young man named Burns was GO
ing to dance. He was drslis4lls rslis4lls
and went by mistake to the home
of w. II. Miller, highly respect

mistake Burns insisted on having
dance there anyway, Miller
finally tried to eject Burns from
the house. The latter then drew
his gun and began to shoot.
Miller also pulled a weapon and n
battle ensued in which Miller was
killed and burns fatally wounded,
dying few bours later.

rlust Add to the Levy

The disallowance of bills by the
War department, aggregating $50,
600, originated by the mobilization
of the National Guard of Colorado
last spring on the eve of the Span
ish war, will not affect the deficit
of this state one particle.
This statement, made yesterday
by Gov Adams, was occasioped by
the publication that the states de-
ficit would be greatly Increased by
this action of the War department.
In commenting on the matter
Gov. Adams said;
"All taxes and legitimate ex-
penses of the state must come out
of the 4-mill tax levy, except in
cases of instruction, invasion or
war. All claims for assisting in
an insurrcction or in war can be
added to the 4-mill levy.
"To remedy the matter the Leg
islataTew will i'll have TO pass an appro-
priation bill authorizing the State
Board of Equalization to make a

FEMININE FASHIONS.
styles and Materials That WIN DC
Worn Dnring the Coming
Season.

Faille and all varieties of corded
silk win be in great vogue during the
two seasons before us.
A chic little waist from Maison
Weille is made of mauve and gold-sbot
silk. The front turns away in broad,
Hat folds from n vest of cream-white
satin. The ruffles at the top of the
close coat-sleeves are lined with white
satin, as are also the cuffs, which fall
in a point over the hand. Down the
front of the white satin vest and on
the inner-arm seam are small gold and
opal buttons, Joined by narrow
twisted gold cord.
There is an odd tendency among
many French ateliers TO trim the most
delicate and diaphanous evening toll
cts with velvets, not the familiar vel
vet ribbons, but in bands from two TO
three and one-half inches in width, in
large bow-knots. folds, and the like;
these trimmings have a heavy ap-
pearance not in keeping with the ma
ture of the gown.
Double-faced cashmere ard drap

CANT tailor costumes for dress occa-
sions. Silk gimps, velvet ribbon in va
rious widths, white satin. and gold
braid are the chosen decorations for
these gowns; otherwise cream or
white satin, overlaid with gulpure lace,
will be used.
Tucking, milliners' folds, and rows
of galloon or ribbon trim many Of the
new light wool gowns for general wear.
These are all simple modes CT garnish-
ing dress; none the less are they real
ly desirable from a decorative point OF
view, and to all present appearances
are likely to be as popular this autumn
as they have been for several seasons
past.
Silk-wrap white serges, trimmed
with lace or satin straps and small
white pearl tailor buttons, form very
charming costumes for the early au-
tumn, while mohairs are similarly
used. These greatly improved fabrics
are manipulated just as silk materials
are, and even those made in tailor fash
ion for the street are silk lined anC
lightened on the front with chifTor
trimmings.
Some of the new glace crepe de chine

THE SEAL QUESTION.
Americans Said to Have Granted Ter
ritOriaI Concessions.

ritOriaI Concessions.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-Iniiuential
business men of Seattle say they are
in possession of information which they
regard as reliable to the effect that the
United States and British-American
commissioners now meeting in Quebec
for the determination of certain ques-
tions of dispute between this govern
ment and that of Canada, have agreed
upon the following:
THAT Canada shall relinquish all
rights and Jurisdiction as regards seal
fishing in Berlng sea and grant certain
privileges to the American fishermen
on the Newfoundland banks. for which
they have been contending for nearly a
century; that in view of these conces-
sions the United States shall cede to
Canada the strip of Alaskan territory
between the mountain range and the
sea on which the towns of Dyea and
Skaguay are situated, thus giving the
Dominion government an all Canadian
route to the Yukon
The men claiming to be in possession
of this information are so certain il is
well founded that they have caused a
special meeting of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce to be called. The cham
ber will endeavor to obtain an official
confirmation or denial of the state
ments, and in any event will no doubt
adopt strong resolutions protesting
against the cession Of one foot of Amer
icaA territory to Great Britain.
The information as to the conclusions
said to have been reached by the inter-
national commission is understood to
come from a man who has done as
much toward the development of Alas
ka as any other. This gentleman is IN
close touch with James ]. HILL who is
supposed to have unusual facilities fol
obtaining inside facts.

CHILD TRAINING.
Book Lessons should Not BE Intro
duced Until n Proper Age
Is Rcnched.

Children are often taught lessons
from books before they are properly
taught TO walk, and long before they
are properly taught to play. Play is
held out to them, not as a natural
thing, as something which the parent
should feel it q duty TO encourage, but
al a reward for so much work done, and
as a rest from work done; as though
play were not itself form of work--a
form of work which n child likes, while
lie dislikes another form because It is
untitled to his powers. For children
under seven years Of age all teaching
should be through play. Through play
letters and languages can be taught,
animal life can be classified, and the
surface of the earth made clear, and
history can be told as a story. Under
such a system the child grows into
knowledge, learns well, eats, sleeps and
plays well, and acquires the habit of
happiness. But there are schools where
children of eight, nine and ten years of
age, or It may be younger, are made to
study from nine o'clock till noon, and
again, after q hasty meal and an hour
for play. from two to five, and later on
are obliged to prepare lessons for the
following morning. The action of the
brain is diverted from its natural
course. The child becomes precocious.
Its tongue will be furred or covered
with many red points like straw
berry, or will be too red and very dry.
The appetite is capricious, strange
foods are asked for, and the stomach is
never in order. If you watch the face.
you note that the frequent flush gives
way TO paleness. The eyes CLEAN with
light at one time and are dull and sad
at another. The sleep is broken. The
child is victim to the wrong kind Of
education.-N. Y. Ledger.

ROOSTER SOLD AT $1,000.
A Texas nird Tint Was winner of
over $1,000 and Champion In
Twcnty-Sevcn battles.

The celebrated gamecock, Commo-
dore Wainwright, after his great vic
tories at lIolletsville, Laredo, San An
tonic and Caldwell, was sold In the
cock pit on Gen. Perdeu's ranch in
Burleson county, Tex, for $1,000. Don
San Diego Montemayo, a sportsman
and chicken fancier of Monterey, Mexi
co. became the purchaser. The money
was paid in gold, and while IL was
being counted out the victorious young
rooster crowed Justify. His spurs were
bloody from his recent victory and his
feathers little rufiled, but otherwise
he looked as fresh as the proyerbial
spring chicken.
During the successful campaign
which the game young Commodore has
just completed he was entered in 27
mains and was the victor in every one.
1t is said that this bird has won more
than $1,000 for his owner during his
short career. lie has fought his last
battle, for, according TO the terms Of
the bill of sale which the vendor gave
to Senior Montemayo, the great bird Is
TO be used as breeder, the purchaser
obigating himself never to fight the
celebrated gamecock again.
This is believed to be the highest
price ever paid for rooster in Texas.
but the price would not be regarded
as startling in old Mexico, where vic
torious roosters have often been eN-
changed for herds Of cattle, ranches
and silver mines.
Atahualpa was the original pet name
of this wonderful bird, and when he
crowed he seemed TO say il as plainly
as ever a feathered youngster pro
nounced his own name. His trainer
made him stand stili in a gladiator at
titlde while the camera was turned
on him, and when the snap shot was
finished he seemed to understand that
he was expected to crow, and then his
admirers, all Of whom were jinglina
Wainwright gold IN their pockets
gave him a rorsing farewell cheer.
