CROWDS ATTEND THE MILLIN-
cry DEPARTMENT OPENING.
TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY
Draparies Are Popular-Hats Are
Large, and Set off the Faex,
This Season.

This is the first day of the two days
Goods company. The extensive depart
ment was the center of attraction all
day long, among the swell dressers of
Butte society, and those who are al
ways up to date in their headwear. There
was eager. competition in not few in
stances for very sweet hats.
Ostrich feathers and birds are in great
vogue this fall, with soft draperies. The
hats are all very large and back Off the
face, fitting the head close at the back.
The Floodora hat is the absolutely cor
rect headwear. 1t is by all odds the most
popular hat of many seasons. Turbans,
tailor made, of the same cloth as the
street suits, are very stylish, and quite
popular Symons makes the turbans to
order of the material of the ladies' suits.
Broadcloth and camels hair beaver are
the cloths that are most worn with tur-
bans to match. The principal shades
this season are gun metal and nutria
castor.
The display of hats is very much larger
this season at Symons than at any other
opening of the house: and the opening
sales far outstripped any record of the
firm and even surpassed the sanguine ex-
pectations of Miss Worthen. the head
milliner. Miss Worthen says that the
hats are far more elegant, rich and sty-
lish this season than she ever remem-
bers; but. then. of course, 1t is not ex-
pected that lady will remember many
seasons fashions
Tomorrow will DE the last day of the
opening. The hats are all nicely dis
played so that visitors can have good
view of nearly every hat in the house,
especially of the Paris pattern hats, the
London semi-dress or walking hats, and
the ST. Petersburg turbans.

skeen of Wichita county; secretary, f. T.
Woodward of Dallas. assistant secretary,
y. w. Beall of Fort Worth.
The convention considered the small
pox situation in Texas at length and
the committee reported a resolution
asking the Legislature to enact a law
during the present session requiring the
State health authorities TO take charge
OF the present epidemic. The resolution
showed that thousands of people in Texas
were affected with the disease and that
the officers we're unable to control. han
die or prevent It's ravages; that many
counties were financially unable to care
for their patients; that the pernicious
practice Of counties refusing to care for
smallpox patients and sending to some
adjoining county should be stopped; that
it is possible under existing laws to
stamp out or control the disease; that a
great danger threatens the State which
can only be handled successfully by some
central authority with jurisdiction over
the entire State. The resolution was
unanimously adopted that the legislature
