THIS YEARS STRAW HAT
Slight Changes Observed from Last
 Season's-A Few Novelties

The straw hat has made its appearance in the shop windows, and some advance agents of the summer styles have been seen wearing the latest thing in that line There is not much difference between last years hat and the one now on exhibition, except that the crown is slightly lower and the rim less broad. The ~bound-edge hat which some dealers tride to introduce last year has been dropped, mot because it was not a sensible style" one manufacturer said, but because it looked too much like mourning. You will probably find them on the wagons from which hucksters will sell the latest style for 50 cents on the first real hot day, and there you will see also the various freak styles of the last few years reduced to the size of the 1900 hat. whitened and fixed up. good for the sea- son'-if it doesn't rain"
 The black band will be generally worn, but fancy bands with college colors and the darkblue with white polka dots will be in some demand. Panama hats in alpine and sombrero shapes have been brought from southern points in large quantities, and matters hope to do large business in that line. These hats range in price from $10 to $20. The latest thing in the line is an alpine hat made of split bamboo, which is much lighter than the Panama hat and darker in color. These hats were brought to the mar ket by Knox from Manila, and are the Philippines first contribution to our world of fashion.

 '. The governor should be allowed to ap- prove bills, say, within twenty days after the adjournment of the legislature As the session is about to close, scores and scores of bills are presented, and remain unex- amined which must fail to become laws if the governor does not approve them in the short time left him before the adjourn ment. It is a physical impossibility for him to read them all; and he must act on the advice of others, or hearsay, if he approves them or else, by withholding approval perhaps defeat meritorious legislation
 S. The constitutional provisions for the government of the State university and the Agricultural and Mechanical college should be radically changed. I have never known of an instance where the senate re- jected a nomination of trustee. Practi- cally the governor alone determines the personnel of the trustees who control these two great institutions and elect the facul- ties. If he lives up to high ideals he will not appoint trustees as a reward for polit- ical services. It puts mere politicians on the boards, who are sure to bring the gov ernment of these institutions into politics. and retard and in a large measure destroy their usefulness. It would be better to have a constitutional provision allowing a stated number of the trustees to be ap- pointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate as is now done. Of the residue of the trustees some might be selected by the alumni under regulations prescribed by law, and the others elected by direct vote of the people. A body of trustees so selected would combine all the merits of the appointive system, and with the aid of graduates, the good of representatives ap- pointed by direct action of the people, would probably be more effective and freer as a board from improper influences than trustees appointed or elected by any single agency.
 g. The constitutional limitation requiring new counties to contain not less than 600 square miles Is unwise. Small counties are great factors in promoting the progress of state. The present requirement. often works great hardship on people who live in large counties and remote from the county Seat.
 i6. The impeachment provisions regard ing the habitual drunkenness of officers should be amended. As the supreme court defines the term, high public official may be guilty of scandalous drunkenness, which brings reproach on his office and the peo- pie. and yet not be amenable to impeach- ment.

CURE GUARANTEED

Patients will be received and treated promptly and not one cent VIII be required for treatment until the patients say that all desire and craving for theeir former habit is destroyed. The patients should remain (though very few do) under the observation and direction of the doctor for a week or more. The treatment can be given in secrecy, and is mild that the most delicate have taken it with little or no suffering. In fact, the patient hardly realizes that he is under treatment until he finds himself cured and full of joy at his liberation from the most exacting and cruel masters that ever dominated a slave
 Dr. Westmoreland has never failed to relieve all of the great number that have taken his remedy for these enslaving hab- its or diseases. Why would any one con- tinue in bondage when he is guaranteed a cure? How could any physician devote his entire time to this one speciality and make this proposition, unless he knows he can cure you?
 No one that is addicted to any of these dreadful diseases or habits should fail to avail himself of this great opportunity of being cured at once of these, the greatest affictions that mortal ever had. For fur ther information call on or address
