A VELVET HAT WITH TRIM
A HAT OF THREE MATERIALS.

No Piece of Headgear is Uitra-Fashionabie
Unless Its Trimming Consists of More
Than Two or Three Fabrics.
Although the craze for combination
has long since invaded the ranks OF mil
linery, materials have never been 50
tastefully associated as they now are.
Deep brown beaver cloth that shades to
pale ecru in velvet and cream in satin
is fayori,te combination; also is pale
lavender, primrose pink and butter
colcr of a very pale tone.
1t is said that purple is to take the
place of gray for travelling gowns and
hats for brides, and this is not to be
wondered at, for the color Is very rich.
But there is absolutely no truth in the
statement that velvet hats are going out
of style. Cur Admiral's lady has sew

Mauve in velvet is prettier than IN
any other material 1t was employed
in hat recently seen, the brim beng
covered with nlauve velvet. The
crown was lighter shade of mauVe
beaver, surrounded with stiffened
band of pale helictrope satin.
At the left side was handsome ros-
cite bow OF mauve velvet lined with
heliotrope satin from which emerged
several elegant purple plumes, an alg-
re.te and two fancy quilts.
A feature OF hat trimming which IS
very noticeable among day as well as
evening bonnets. is the lavish use OF
embroidered beaver. This material Is
very expensive in its plainest forms,
but the embellishing OF it with en-
broidery is beyond the widest dreams

Stocks-The stock market to-day was
a narrow and colorless affair. New

Quoted from the price. There were
sales of these rights at from AS to 51a.
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
showed some strength and there was
an attempt to advance some of the
iron and steel stocks which proved only
partly successful The advance in the
bank of England rate from 5 to per
cent was not unexpected, but was con-
firmation of disagreeable anticipation
from the stock market point of view.
1t is accepted as notification of the
Bank OF England's policy to hold con-
troll of the open market with the pur-
pose of keeping up rates so as to at
tract funds to London for the future
needs of that market including the COM
ing annual settlement and the require
ments of the government for the South
African war expenditures. Prelimin-
airy estimates make it evident that to-
morrow's bank statement will reflect
still further improvement in the con-
dition of the banks.
The bond market was quiet and
prices were shaded in the majority or
issues. Total sales par value 81, 340,-

United States bonds were unchanged

of delegates to attend the national
meet to be held in May at Charles
ton, S. c.; needs the ten cents due
from each member, that it may be
sent in to heaquarters in order that
the camp may not be suspended
from the ASSOCIATION.

members are requested to send in
their dues to Major Benefited or }

same.

be given soon at which delegates
will be selected to attend the

J. A. Stockton, Red River Plan
ter Killed By a Colored

A telephone message was sent in
here on Friday Afternoon apprising
undertaken Reeves of the fact that
his services would be required at
New Boston on the morrow, with a
casket in which to bury j. A. Stock
ton who had been killed by ne
gro named Ducktt.
The particulars we're meagre.
The man at the telephone at Ash
down stated that the negro had
poked his gun through the crack
of the house in which Stociton was
seated and shot him to death and
then taking to the brush.
We have since learned that a
large body of men have organized
and formed squads and are now on
the hunt for the murderer.
The murderer will no doubt be
caught and his punishment should
be great. OF all cowardly cravens
in the world, the assassin is the
meanest and is deserving of no

THOUGHT HEIwAs DEAD
jim Fawbush Came Near Being
Buried Alive.

Jim Fawbush, citizen of Miller
county, living about ten miles from
this city died on Thursday evening
at his home-that is he Was pro-
nounced dead by those waiting on
him.
He was laid out after being
washed and dressed, and
all arrangements we're made
for his burial to take place on Fri
day afternoon, at the country
grave yard, near the Fawbush
place. The coffin was sent for at
this place, aud was tardy in arriv-
ing, and it was this that caused the
remains to lay ont as long as they
did. When the coffin arrived and
the remains we're being lifted there
in, a spark of life was discovered,
and further disturbance of the
body showed that the mau was
alive, and soon surprised all by
opening his eyes and staring about
him, as if to ask what the commo-
ton meant. He was placed in bed
and stimulants administered, and
he soon gained consciousness, and
is now pronounced as in fair way
to recovery.
There are some states which re-
quire that bodies, before they are
buried, must show signs of putre-
faction, or all tests known to
science, be applied before the body
is buried. There is not doubt
but what thousands of people are
buried before they are dead, as the
few cases of removing bodies from
one location to another has revealed
this fact.
We are truly glad that our friend
FAwbush was not buried alive
that the mistake was discovered in
time to prevent such terrible
fate for him.

Funeral sGSTices were held yesterday

apolis united in doing honor to the mem
DRY OF the millionaire miller Flags hung
at half-mast on the court house and the
school buildings, and as men met on the
street and IN their places Of business they
everywhere spoke with heartfelt regret
Of the loss which they, as friends of Mr..
Pillsbury and citizens CT Minneapolis
have sustained. Waving the precedent
years, the Minneapolis chamber of COM
nerce adopted resolutions of coincidence
and sympathy and adjourned at noon.
Similar resolutions were adopted by the
board OF trade and that body, as well as
the St Paul chamber Of commerce, named
official representatives to attend the flu
neral.
The funeral services were in keeping
with the simple life and tastes Of Mr..
Pnsbury. The funeral was held at 2
o'clock at the family residence. In the
hallway stood the casket rich but almost
severely plain its its covering of black
broadcloth and oxidized handles and with
only the name Charles Alfred Piils0ury''
upon the plate. At the request Of the
family, friends sent no fowsrs. In the
side room were seated the members Of
the family within easy hearing OF the
clergyman, who stood near the coffin. The
choir and PallbeaTers, both honorary and
active were also seated in the hallway,
while all the other available rooms in the
house, both up stairs and down, were
filled with the friends of the family.
About 500 We're in attendance.
Rev. Or. II. h. Haulock, pastor of Plym-
outh Congregational church, conducted
the service which was simple and i'm
pressive. He did not speak at great
length, nor did Rev John w Ray who
assisted DR.. Ray was the clergyman
who married Mr. and Mrs. PiIlsbury tbi1-
ty-three years ago, at Goffstown, n H
j. p. Jones' who is a nephew of Mrs
Pilsbury, was in charge of the music,
which was beautifully rendered by a

house, the cortege took its way to Lake
