quart of whiskey. Gray, so the testimony shows, went to Reeves Bros and quietly went behind the counter, took a quart of whiskey out of the show case and walked briskly towards the front door. He however, went into the arms of two policemen, who relieved him of the whiskey and placed it back in the salooL and escorted Gray to police headquarters, where this morning he was fined $10.
 The second case was for fast driy- ing; Joe Caldwell. colored, for this offense was fined S3.
 The third, and interesting case, was .that of Hyder Davis charged with stealing wood. The story runs like the officer and the thief were both playing hide and seeA with each other, the officer seeking the culprit, and the defendant hiding se much wood as possible. The cop sat on the dray while the colored man took a long stick of wood out of the wood pile back of where he lives; when he had it down on the ground the cop walked up and says: '.I'll fake you" Davis told the off, cer that he would give him $10 to let him go, finally offering the po- 1os f3v min tF the week if he would let him go. Judge Brown after hearing the eyi- dence fined him S20 for stealing stick wood. This looks like a wood fa- mine. The negro wanted to go with a policeman to the depot and tele- graph a friend of his at Monticello for the money. The net proceeds realized were S33.00.

HAT PALACE.
Is the Millinery Department of the
 Kaufman Bazaar Co.

On Monday many Fall openings were had throughout this atd other cities. Among these was the grand fall opening of the Kaufman Bazaar Company of this city. Our report CT visited the same last night, aud was ushered into Millinery Hall by Miss Nettie Meyer, who in turn left our reporter in the Hat Palace where nothing could be seen but beautiful and costly ralments in headgear. From the centre were the coIors red, white and blue sus- pended and interwoYed so as to form basket: from each corner of the snug palace was to be seen the head Of bird with a feather on each side; around the right side as you enter was ribbon of electrical colors as a background. In the cer ter and around the room was the display of hats.
 The makeup of millinery is inter- esting. The leading colors, those taking precedence over others this season, are earth brown and greYs. Sea gulls are also a fad.
 In the cast of one hundred and fifty hats or more we give the names of some of the. gems, both in appearance and finance. The high est price nat in the palace is $25. GO. The general price is from 5000 to $2000, the termediates ranging from $12, $15, and $1600 etc. The $20 hat is called the Dewey; ii has four ostrich plumes and is a thing of beauty. Tie butterfly hat is the neateSt, cutest and sweetest of all; the cost of same is $15.0O. The Sehley hat is one of large black tai feta ruffles of the new style with birds Con the side. For bows in hats thts season taffettas divide ia vor with soft satins, ribbons of the two being equally fashionable.
 The remaining hats are the Span ish Don, the Pope, the Soiree, Rus sian Turban, Paradise Bird and the Grey iGainsboro. trimmed in grey tips.
 Ornaments in pastelle colors pre- vail this Fall aod Persian and Ores dian in velvets and silks.
 The head milliner at the Bazaar is the charming Miss Lesa Muller, through whose courtesy and kind : ness and through the further kind ness, of Misses Solmson and Rus sell and Mrs. Sweet, we were shown through. the Hat Palace of Kauf- mans Bazaar.
 The openlng began Monday and closes Wednesday evening, and delighted crowds are in attend ance. Those who desire feast for the eye should not fail to visit the easy Kaufman Bazaar.
