The Montana cases grow out Of the
transaction by which United States
Senator w. \. Clark has obtained pos
session of about 1900 acres of the
public domain and timber lands in
that state. II appears that Senator
Clark purchased this property outright
from a group of men in Montana. 1t
Is not yet known here who is the cen

Idaho. But Secretary Hitchcock Las
determined to institute the most
searching Nd unSparing investigation

What He Cannot Understand.
1t is estimated that he cannot uE
dcrStamd how such extensive frauds
against the government could have
been committed if the officials charged
with protecting the public interests
had been duly vigilant in the discharge
of their duties. The result of his in
VestigationS may he n wholesale dis

retary has sent trusted agents and uN

from Washington TO Idaho TO perform

Petticoats and Bayonets.

Messrs. Wagenhals and Kemper, who
are noted for the elaborate nature of
their scenic productions, are said to
have excelled themselves in the latest
success, "Petticoats ana Bayonets," in
which Arthur Byron will appear at
the Opera House Thursday evening.
The play being laid in the time OF
the American Revolution, every effort
was made to have the architectural de-
signs of the scenes and the furniture
true to Colonial traditions. AS an in
stance of this, 1t was necessary to build
a Colonial arch, and that it should be
unimpeachable in it's fidelity, an artist
was sent to Philadelphia who made
drawing Of the famous arch in indie
pendence Hall, which was added when
this interesting national monum mt
was a few years ago restored to its
original design. The first act of the
play, too, will afford a very realistic
picture of the primitive surroundings
in which our forefathers lived.

IMMODEST STYLE OF DRESS
Women Lack Good Taste Who Make
spectncIes of Themselves.

Women Lack Good Taste Who Make
spectacIes of Themselves.
Modesty where art thou? Certainly
you have deserted many, many women,
Judging from their present manner OF
dressing. The present fashion adopt
ed by the feminine world is nothing
less than shocking, and it approaches
very near indecency. 1t is incompre-
hensible how a woman who has any
respect for herself can approve of
style that has coarseness for its foun-
dation.
If the young woman who wears tie
all-over openwork shirt waist could
only hear the gibes and disrespectful
remarks of the men as she passes by,
she would want to hide her head in
shame. Not only the ignorant woman,
but the woman who, from her bringing
up and her culture, knows better ap-
pears in the prevailing loud costume.
Wearing an immodest shirt waist, with
her belt pulled down to an extremely
low dip front and her skirts held tight
ly. she looks as If only peroxide hair,
glass diamonds" cigarette stained fin
gers and slovenly petticoats were needI
ed to complete her attire.
Such dress might be merely laughed
at and almost unnoticed on a cheap
girl. but when woman of supposed
refinement appears in it, there is
gasp of horror 1t has done more TO
lower mems opinion of women than
anything which has taken place for
long while and is decided slump from
the sensible walking skirt and nobby
shirt waist.
It is inconceivable what the women
expect to gain by this mode of dress.
1t is not pretty, it is not stylish, 1t Is
not becoming and attracts attention
only on account of its immodesty. IL
makes a woman look like mere crea-
ture rather than a being worthy OF
second thought. 1t subjects the wearer
to insulting remarks and Eignincant
smiles, and cheapens her in every way
Whatever physical charms woman
has are not heightened by displaying
them in the streets and an empty pate
is the only excuse for adopting such
style.
Women have shown that they can
emancipate themselves from the eN>
IRENE dictates of fashion, and this is
one of the times when they should
again break the shackles.-Springfield
Union.

Arc You n Mason!

The attraction at the Opera House
tonight will be the great farcical sue
cess, Are You a Mason" This is the
unquestioned comedy hit of the year
in both New York and Chicago. Here
will be seen the splendid cast which
achieved such a triumph in those two
cities. In New York it accomplished
something never before achieved in
farce annals. When presented at Wal
lacks Theatre its success was instan-
taneous, and after playing to capacity
for weeks, Are You a Mason?" was
forced out of the metropolis by pre-
vious contract made by the manage
ment with Miss Henrieea Crosman.
From there it went to Chicago. and en-
joyed a prosperous run at Powers The
alter extending throughout the summer
From Chicago the company returned to
New York to open the Garrick Theater.
Heretofore farces have not repeated
when shifted after an interval from one
Broadway theater to another. Sucn
was not the case with Are You Ma

duplicated at the Garrick.

Has anyone seen or heard anything
Of the so-called Equinoctial storm that
always occurs when the sun crosses
the line" or between the 21st and 25th
Of September? It has long been a be-
lief OF the masses that such a storm is
a certainty. but as a matter OF fact
over half century Of observation by

been fewer storms on the FIVE days be-
tween the 21st and 25th OF September
than on the same period either follow
