Both sons left home at the time of the
second marriage. They continually de-
manded that the property left by their
mother be divided and, in lieu of that,
called upon the father for money, which
was refused.
The son George, 1t is said, declared that
he would never allow his stepmother to
get any of his property. He went to the
house of his father early this morning
and found him in bed. His stepmother
was in an adjoining room. The son re-
peatediy demanded some money. The
father became eDraged and raised him
self from the bed in menacing manner.

The circular cape is fitted smoothly
across the shoulders by single darts and
falls in soft graceful folds considerably
below the waist, thus affording warmth
and comfort. The cape is finished in
front with graduated revers of the plaid
and is closed by three pointed straps but
toned across.
The large hood. showing the plaid side
of cloth, is shaped with a single center
seam, and drapes prettily across the back
and forms a graceful shoulder trimming
iE front. The high flaring collar is styl-
ishly curved and can be turned down or
fastened close to the neck with a pointed
strap.
Straps of the material are fastened in
side at the shoulder darts, crossed over
in front, and meet at the waist line in
straps keep the cape in proper position
and distribute the weight evenly across
the shoulders and back.
To make this cape in the medium size
will require two yards of material fifty
four inches wide. The pattern, No. 1922,
is cut in sizes for 81, 3s, and 42-inch bust
measure.

OCTOBER CROP BULLETIN.
Weather Conditions Favorab', far Gather.
ing Late Crops, but Bad for Seeding.

The climate and crop bulletin for Octo-
Der, issued yesterday by the Weather Bu-
reau, says:
In the districts east OF the Rocky Noun
tains the month of October has been very
mild, and the first half generally dry
These conditions proved very favorable
for maturing and gathering late crops, but
were not favorable for plowing, fail seed
ing. and termination OF sown grain over
a large part of the winter wheat region.
During the latter part of the month the
droughty conditions were largely reliey-
ed, although Iowa and portions Of East
eTn Nebraska, Northern Missouri, and the
Central Gulf States were suffering for
rain at the close of the month. The
weather conditions on the Pacific coast
have been very favorable.
sUnder exceptionally favorable weather
conditions. cutting. husking. and cribbing
corn have made rapid progress.
Only very small part OF the cotton
crop remained ungathered at the close of
the month. Although the top crop has
been a very light one. the absence of
frost, especially over the eastern part of
the cotton belt, has permitted much to
mature.

Judge Chambers, Chief Justice OF Sa-

ence with Secretary Hay respecting Sa-
moan affairs. and particularly the con-
ditions on the island OF rutlila, which is
10 become the exclusive property az the

recently arranged division OF the Samoan
group.
The chief justice made most favorable
report upon the island. which had a ma
tive population OF about 1000 persons, for
whom some form Of government must be
devised, probably patterned after that OF
Guam, where the navy maintains a navai
governor. The closing chapters OF the

prepared and will submit to tire Secretary
