G. w. KosMINsKY's OPENING.


A SPLENDID Success in Every Respect.
Last Tuesday dawned fair, bright
and balmy; altogether a propitious day
for the millinery opening which a
been previously announced by Z. W..
Kosminsky, one Of our largest and
most enterprising merchants. BY ten
o'clock his elegant emporium OF fashion
was thronged with handsomely dressed
ladies and children looking, exclaim-
ing and admiring. True, they were all
talking at once-but every adjective
conveying a complimentary meaning
was distinctly expressed and heard.
The array OF exquisite silks, laces,
parasols, shirt waists, dress patterns
and other novelties, to mention which
would take columns, was almost be-
wildering, but the chief attraction was
the stylish and artistic millinery.
Hats of every description and all
kinds of material and shapes were seen
and we're pretty enough to suit the
most delicate and fastidious taste.
Some we're less deliberately trimmed
but none the less stylish and becom-
ing. Numbers of ladies and gentlemen
were grouped about the magnificent
windows gazing admiringly at the
beautifully arranged and dainty fabrics
lovely artificial flowers and other mil
linery exhibited. Many were the laud'
atory remarks that fell from the lips o
by-standers, not a few of them saying
that the windows, particularly the ont
to the right, would vie in beauty o
decoration with any in large cities
Miss Willie Long is the competen
head Of the Millinery department an
t secured the services Of the follow
ing tasteful young ladies as her assist
ants: Misses Mary Garner, Mary Kno
D and Lizzie Mitchell. Miss Long
eminently qualified for the position sh
n holds, which is not only proven by he
a splendid work, but by her refined an
agreeable Mr.. K~osminsky
a gentleman of perfect neatness an
% taste, and is fully alive to the progre'
j. OF his store. He has just cause to
ID proud of the openings that took pla'
le on Tuesday and Wednesday.

AN ELEGANT AFFAIR.

Crowds of bright and agreeable peo-
pie attended the millinery openings
given by Mrs. H. T. Pace on last Tues
day and Wednesday. That the ladies
were more than pleased with the evil
dences of millinery skill and creative
art was declared by lavish encomiums
bestowed upon a grand display OF ele-
CANT hats, laces. ribbons, artificial
flowers and many other articles OF per-
sonal adornment. Dainty and very be-
coming hats,-some of them fairy-like
in appearance, were shown by the
courteous and efficient clerks. There
were hats and bonnets, suitable for
every taste and condition, in which all
the fashionable colors and materials
we're represented by beautiful blend
ings and harmonious shading. An ar
rangement Of baby caps was especially
attractive and called forth exclama-
nations of delight from many besides
the young mothers who viewed them
In fact, the entire exhibition was nlgh'
ly creditable to the ladies in charge
Of the store and met with cordial ad'
miration from all who witnessed 1t

ner, but an elegant, accommodating
lady, who leaves nothing undone tina

of her opening days. She was assisted

MoLINEUX SLEPT LIKE A CHILD
His Sentence to Death by EEectrOcu-
tion Received with Apparent
UncOncern.

New York, Feb. 13.-Roland 3. Moli-
neux, convicted Saturday of the MUIR
der of Mrs. Katharine j. Adams, was
have slept as calmly on Saturday night
as he did on any other night since his
incarceration in the Tombs. beginning
nearly year ago.
The verdict of the jury, pronounced
late Saturday night, the warden said,
did not seem to have in the least affect
ed MolineuX so far as his outward APP
pearance was concerned. The warden
said that Molineux's demeanor is in
striking contrast with that of other
prisoners who had been in his charge
and who had within the last three
years been convicted of murder in the
first degree. "He slept like a child"
was the way the warden put it. Refer
ring to MolineuX after his return to
day night, he said:
To-day he arose at the usual hour,
took exercise for one hour in the pris-
on yard, ana the usual breakfast sup
piled by the prison caterer. and read
with apparent composure the morning
newspapers, after which he attended
the usual Sunday services.
The condemned man had bat one
visitor Sunday. The caller was his
grief-stricken and venerable father,
who had not yet given up hope and ex
poets that the higher courts, which
will be appealed to, will free his son.

To Save Time.

An old man who was cook at west
ern camp went by the name of Bunch
Grass. He had his own way of looking
at things. On one occasion the camp
was to be moved along the stream, and
Bunch packed up the outfit preparatory
to the fitting. "Got match, Bunch ?''
asked one of the party, for he had rolled
up big cigarette and wanted to light
it. The old mans fingers went to his
vest pocket: then he paused and looked
thoughtful. Evidently no match was
forthcoming. But suddenly Bunch
showed his originality of thought.
Without word he climbed into the
wagon and started to pitch off his load.
Bedding, tents, kettles sailed out on the
grass. The petitioner for the match
looked at him in amazemeut. Had he
gone crazy? "Why, what is the matter
with you? What are you doing?" he
asked. Bunch stopped throwing out
the goods, and replied, in a slow drawl:
"Which it's like this. When you re-
euested that match, I suddenly hap
pened to recall that them combustibles
allus turks in the last pocket. got
coat and waistcoat in the bottom O.
this wagon, and I'm reachin' down for
that last pocket first, just to save time"
And he proceeded to throw off the rest
of the load.-Youth's Companion.

Yez-WhatY

A good story is going the rounds a
Harvard college concerning a last
years graduate, dutiful son and ar
industrious student, yet withal some
what literal youth. At the beginning
of his concluding year, his father, who
was just setting out for Europe, said
to him: "Now, Harry, you get your
degree, and I'll send for you to come
ever and travel all summer" Harry
was delighted. Father" said he, 81
will He studied faithfully all the
college year, and in June went through
with flying colors. Then he cabled his
father: "Yes." But the father, alas!
had forgotten his impulsive offer. He
unused over the message, wondered,
and then cabled back: "Yes, what ?''
The son was in turn perplexed, but
being a well-trained lad, he did not re-
main long in the dark. and fired by
dutious zeal, cabled back: 'Yes, sir.''
Letters of explanation followed, and
he was permitted to make the grand
tour,"-Youth's Companion.

IRRIGATION.
the Government is Doing-The
Census Once.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 6.-The recla-
nation of arid lands, which was a
prominent feature of food-producing G
operations in India, China, Egypt and
Mexico many centuries ago, is now re-
ceiving more attention from the United
States government than ever before.
In congress, the house has appointed
q strong standing committee on irri-
cation, with chairman and majority
of its members interested in or repre-
senting irrigable sections. In the sem
ate, the committee on reclamation of
arid lands is similarly. constituted.
These committees listen to the de-
mands of the people and formulate leg
islation when it is intended to add to
the resources of nature quite as sub
stantially as if large areas of prolific
territory were being acquired from the
outside.
The officers of the geological survey
are making an extended investigation
of the quantity and constancy of water
supplies in irrigable districts; locating
and surveying sites available for per-
manent impounding reservoirs; meas
uring the wastes from seepage, evap-
oration and unchecked floods, and gen.
orally determining or comparing the
values of different methods of irriga-
ton, and the utility of different sources
of water supply.
The census office, confining itself
strictly to exact facts and conditions,
is supplementing these efforts of the
government by making a census of irri-
1lc
canals and bitches, and the cost and
character thereof; of ownership, vol
ume and constancy of water sources;
of water-rights, sales and rates; of the
acreage, quantity and value of irrigated
crops; of unreclaimed but irrigable
land areas, etc. Most of this work is be-
ing accomplished by means of schedules
sent through the mails in advance of the
main field work, which the law says
shall be done in June, 1900. Director
Merriam deemed such a course warrant
ed by the estimated increase in irriga-
tion wells to $4,000 and the bitches and
canals to $4,000 during the past ten
years, which means that probably more
that 100000 producers are now raising
crops and herds abundantly on lands
which, without irrigation, were desolate
and valueless.
Preliminary returns to the census
office from irrigators and irrigation
companies are quite satisfactory, and
the director requests that all who have
received or may receive hereafter sched-
ules from the department do their best
to answer the several questions therein
and return the blanks at their earliest
convenience. Also, that irrigators who
have not received, will write and ask
to be supplied with schedules. The re-
quest will be complied with by return
mail. In this way, accurate statistics
will be secured of an industrial feature
which, in effect, is equal to adding sew
eral productive states to the domain
of a nation whose staple food supplies
already dominate the markets of the
world.

Lansing, Kas., Feb. 13.-The board

Monday, decided to hereafter sell the
entire output of binding twine of the
Kansas penitentiary direct to the farm

parts of the state had offered to pur-
chase the entire output, but it is said
the prison officials learned there was
reason to believe that the binding twine

But Somehow They Don't Profit.
London, Feb. 13.-Frank Harris, for.
mer editor of the Saturday Review, in
d pamphlet published, reiterates the
view which the st. James Gazette has
been insisting on, that Quality. and
not quantity, is what England needs
to beat the Boers," and ''that England
always fails to learn by experience -
He adds:
1.-THE battle of Saratoga should have
taught every Englishman the true
theory cf war. There the American
militia not only defeated the English
troops, but forced them to an ig-
nominious surrender, and, mark it,
these same English troops were the
best soldiers of their time. Or take
a still clearer case. Wellington's vet
Grams were beaten at New Orleans by
half their number of raw militia. But
even New Orleans taught the English
nothing"
