New York, April 1.-THE new drum

This skirt is not incapable OF beauty, but

Mechanically, or modistically, the new
effect is obtained as follows: For about
three-eights OF yard below the waist In

which are hung the deeply curved lower
draperies. In other models tho desired
smooth effect over the hips is produced
by cores or by lacings at the back or sides.
Below the hips the SKIRT Is undereut TO the
limbs. About the fcet there may or may
not be relieving flare.
Speaking artistically. the aim is classic
and reyelatory OF what may be tho most
beautiful thing In the world. the natural
human figure. Speaking practically, the
resulting picture Is often that OF two eggs
set end on end.
The skin-tight skirt is cut In cloths for
tailor dresses, In silks and satins for the
wear OF matrons, and In filmy, transparent
stufYs for the summer girl. 1t Is applied

IOWA SENATORIAL CONTEST
Some Surprises Are Coming to Light
ms the Election APP
prOachcs Near.

DIES MONIES, Dec. 21.-The senatorial
fight today brought forth some significant
political changes. Charles 7. Hancock of
Dubuque, former chairman of the republican
state committee, Came to the city today to
work against A. b. Cummins. Mr.. Hancock
was the republican candidate for state SEN
ator in his county this fall, and was narrowly
defeated. He charges that the Cummins
people sent circulars and worked in the
county to help defeat him. The Cummins
people declare it is a falsehood, and charge
that the labor organizations of Dubuque
sent out such circulars with no knowledge
on Mr.. Cummins' part, and that he is in no
way responsible for their actions.
Representative Wise of Blackhawk county
who has been accounted a Gear supporter,
today comes out for Cummins for senator
and Eaton for speaker. The announcement
was a general surprise. 1t is believed that
the decision who will be speaker lies with
less than a half score of men who are I'M
pledged. The forces seem very closely di-
vided as between Bowen, the Gear candi-
dates, and Eaton, the Cummins champion.
The hotels are crowded with politicians.
DR.. Bert l.. Eiker of Decatur county,
member of the house, arrived in the city this
evening, and Immediately informed the
Cummins' managers and newspapers that he
will vote for Cummins for senator and Eaton
for speaker. He has been conceded to Gear
from the first inning of the game, living in
what was considered unanimously Gear ter
ritoTy. His constituents canvaSsed the
county with petitions in behalf of Gear and
Cummins and DR., Eiker decided that Cum
Minis had the majority of republican voters.
The Cummins men say this leaves no room
for question of Eaton's election.
