FASHIONS IN FURS.

Neckpieces run to long, flowing ends.
Boas of fiat fur are generally made flat
and long; those of black fox. black bear
and Of white fox are round and very
large, as well as long. lnnumerable
tails are brought into requisition to
adorn the various types of neck scarfs.
Very novel are the square collars in
Persian lamb, ermine and other furs,
which are arranged so that they form
a V-shaped trimming In front and
which are finished at the waist with
little tails.
The combination of two, and even
three, furs will be frequent, even in
boas. One of the latter, variation of
the victorine type, has center of er-
mine with wide border Of white fox
finished by Two tails which are ex-
tremely full and fluffy. The accom-
panying muff suggests a huge snow
ball, being of the fullest white fur
and very large, says the Philadelphia
Times.
Muffs generality are of generous
size. They are round, but the fiat car
riage muff will also serve for street
wear.
Fur trimmed gowns will not appear
before December, but there is promise
that they will be seen in larger num-
bers than for several seasons past.
Hats, also, will be fur trimmed. One
which is typical of the way fur will be
used in the winter milliner.' is made
entirely of white lace over white
satin foundation, with black velvet
ribbon caught on and beaded through
the lace here and there. A slender
band of mink fur on the side gives the
finishing touch. The fur hats in vogue
are somewhat larger than the toques

"uOLDING UP" THE FARMERS

The Kansas State Grain Dealers as
ISOLATION, which forms part Of the
national association, is not doing the
Justice for which the national asso-
citation pleads, says the Kansas
Farmer.
They are today a stencil In the
nostrils of every lover OF liberty in
the state of Kansas. They have dis
regarded law, justice and equity.
They have placed themselves in q
position to receive the righteous con
domination of all classes of people.
They arrogantly defy the law Of the
state. They refuse to testify when
on the witness stand. They arro-
gantly boast Of their influence with
officials and courts. They are ego
tistic enough to imagine they eau ride
rough shod over the rights of produc-
ers and obtain the decision of courts,
right or wrong. They boast Of their
money and point boldly to the infiu-
ence of property. Farmers are will

regardless of party lines.
The Grain Dealers association has
gone too far. 1t has undertaken to
say that farmer, irregular dealer or
scoop-shovel man shall not do business
in Kansas. 1t has gone still farther
and thrown barriers in the way and
tried, if the farmer had the audi ny
20 ship his own grain, to destroy the
value of his property in the terminal
markets. In this they made fatal
mistake. The people of Kansas will
not tolerate them. They may survive
for short time, but justice will be
melted out to this organization in the
end
Similar complaints have come to us
from time to time from farmers who
desire TO ship their grain to terminal
points In the grain dealing business.

This radical Republican program is

is their great fear that the United
States treasury will not be able to

they will be the ones who will not be
able to meet their liabilities. II the
treasury was to call for the $10S,5O6,-

Star further informs us that Mr.

would either cancel $5O,000,000 or
$1OO, 100000 outright, without replac

money, or he would take from
the available cash, about $780,

amount in the reserve fund of the
