ments to catch the unwary dollar,
though if your last fall hat is stilfin
good condition you can rit without
being afraid of being considered out
of style, for the new spring models
favor the styles of the fall season in
many ways. About the only noticeable
change is a slight alteration in the
manner of trimming, but with scarcely
any change in shapes, and as the trim
ming has become q matter of individual
taste that need not matter.
Last fall we had gray felts in medium
and large shapes, and these we have
again for spring wear. The trimming
is of the loosely puffed-on order, with
now and then quill or a wing. These
are, of course, the simpler models. The
hat is to be worn at little angle that
gives it rakish effect.
Blossoms large and small hold the
popular approval as the choicest trim
ming, and of the blossoms roses occupy
the most prominent place. Roses in
their natural colors are the proper
thing There will be but few such mon
strosities as blue and purple blossoms
in the rose line-a thing for which we
are to be congratulated.
A shape that is going to attain quite
little popularity this season is one
turned up at both sides and coming
rather to a point in the front. The

striking feature of this, however, is
that on one side the upward curve is
much more pronounced than on the
other side. This idea is entirely new
this season. 1t was foreshad owed a
month or more ago, but to-day has be-
come reality and promises to attain
no small amount of popularity. 1t is
so decidedly new as to attract atten-
ton, besides being very effective. The
side that is most turned up usually
shows a cabochon on the under brim,
while the crown is frequently adorned
with a bunch of flowers. Any sort is
used here. Then, tied around the
crown, will be some silk not too tightly
drawn. The back shows a decidedly
Louis XIV. droop, now SO much the rage
in nearly every class of millinery.
Sometimes the lace or ribbon trimming
will hang over the back for distance
of couple of inches or So,
Round turbans, rather on the Spanish
order, are coming out prominently
This hat, as far as trimming is con-
cerned, is one of the simplest forms
introduced. At times it is simply
adorned with little silk trimming and

under the ruthless touch of the modern
laundress. Silk for the same reason,
perhaps, has lost all the ground it
gained a few years ago, and domes tic
machine-made underwear is, even by
many very wealthy women, preferred
to the handsewed French article.
The night dresses for summer wear
are unusually attractive, and nearly
all are cut with open necks and elbow
sleeves. An open-throated night dress
is very becoming, and in June it's easy
shape will be found distinctly comfort
able. Some of these pretty garments
follow the prevailing fashion in blouses
and are fastened in the back. Buttons
are too hard to lie upon, so at three
places along the opening in the rear
tags of baby ribbons tie the occupant
safely and comfortably in. This is
called Greenaway night dress; many
of this babyish pattern are cut very
straight and narrow in the skirt and
adorned with a most coquettish lace
and muslin neckerchief that is faster cd
to either side on the front of the shout
der to let delicate shell drapery fall
upon the bosom.

And in the end she lifted both of

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY.

The lover and the happy maid
Who walked beside him through the shade
Spake not of art nor life nor love
Nor of the stars that cleaned above,
But as they passed I heard
The oft-repeated word:
Money" Money" Money"
Above the sounds of tramping feet
Where people hurry through the street,
Where cars and trucks choke up the way
And dark disasters of the day
Are madly cried aloud,
l hear the eager crowd
Yell: Money! Money!" Money!
I saw a mother with her child
Upon her breast; she sadly smiled
Down at the little face, but said
No word of him whose weary head
Lay pillowed meath the grass
All that she said, alas!
Was: Money" Money" Money"
Out through the spired temples door
I see the pious people pour,
And as they saunter h9meward through
Gay street and leafy avenue,
Unmindful of the need
OF sacrament or creed,
They babble: Money" Money"
A curse upon the word, I say!
1t sickens me; I'll fare away,
Far from the sordid, greedy throng
Ard listen to the West Winds song,
I'll hear the cricket raise
Its little hymn of praise.
Lord love me- all it says
Is: Money" Money" Money"

Women are naturally more suscept-
ible to inclemencies of the weather
than men. With them cold is often
the starting point of some severe
pelvic arrangement, causing much
pain and suffering.
Every woman needs a remedy upon
which she can rely to keep her system
fortified against the trying weather Of
winter and early spring. If Peruna is
taken at the first symptom of cold it
will cure it before it develops into
some annoying catarrhal arrangement.

Duluth, Mimi, Jan. "a frightful muir
der was committed at noon to-day, when
Daniel Carlo slashed David Myllymaki
with pocketknife several times, almost
cutting his head off.
r" Both men we're Films and lumberjacks,
and the murderer had lately arrived from

had come in from Foodwood, this county.
They were sitting at table in Signer &

Suddenly Carlo drew his knife, pressed
'Myllymaki's head down on the table, and
slashed at the beck of it, making a deep

The injured man got up and started to

then jumped on his body again and again,

1mpracticable Smelling
Again to the Front.

From, Tho Journal Bureau, Room rs, Pod

Washington, Jan. 9.-On the authoritH
of members of the Minnesota delegation.
it may be said that the board of high
army officers which is now considering
the selection of four large camps where
military maneuvers may be conducted
each summer for regular and national
guard troops, is likely to report to Sec
rotary Root that in it's judgment tha
whole scheme is impracticable Instead
Of the TO If large concentration camps 1t
is said that the board will favor slightly
charging some seven or eight existing
forts and conducting the maneuvers on q
much smaller scale than originally
planned.
Such a report by the board of officers
would again bring Fort Smelling into the
race, for the proposed enlargement of it's
facilities which the state delegation is
trying hard to secure will make it
available for the purpose Indicated. It is
said that there are serious practical OBJ
jections to Secretary Roots plan-for four
large camps. Chief of these is the
distance state troops would J. have to
travel. Another is the length of time
which the maneuvers would require. AL
together, it is believed to be the best So
luton of the problem to have number Of
smaller posts, taking care each summer
Of smaller number of troops each for
shorter periods of time.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Jan. ga Tribune special from
Washington says that Secretary Root will
send to congress to-day copies of cable
dispatches just received from Cuba,
urging the immediate passage by congress
of law granting tariff concessions to
Cuba. ..,..
The purport of these dispatches is
that Cuba is threatened with immediate
shall be granted. Secretary Root is
pleaded with to use his utmost power
to secure the tariff concessions, and
has already asked General Wood to
come to Washington and appear before
the ways and means committee Jan.
II on behalf Of the legislation proposed in
the interest of the island. General
Woods views on this subject are we'll
known to the president and secretary
of war. He agrees thoroughly with the
statements advanced in dispatches re-
ceived at the war department that Cuba
must have tariff concessions to save
1T from destruction. He has already
informed the president that only by the
granting of tariff concessions can Cuba
continue to live. On the other hand,
he says, with a reduction of duties the
development of Cuba will be rapid and
immediate.
The dispatches received by Secretary
Root are signed by the officers of diff
ferent commercial bodies in Cuba, and
while all Of them speak Of the neces-
sity Of concessions and the ruin that will
follow unless these are granted, some
go so far as to declare that unless such
legislation is enacted the distress in the
island will be- accomplished by serious
disturbances. .--. .

ON PAYNE
He Is Confirmed, but Senators
Say Some Unpleasant
Things.

From Tho Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post
Building, Was1issatoss.- -
Washington, Jan. 9.-There was a red
hot fight in the senate to-day in executive
session. Governor Shaw had been con-
frmed as secretary Of the treasury with
out opposition, and Henry c. Payne S
name had been presented for confirma-
ton as postmaster general. Then the
fun began. Senator Clay of Georgia,
member of the committee on postoffices,
objected because he had not been con-
suited in committee, and did not know
Payne's name was to be brought up for
confirmation to-day.
Senator Rawlins of Utah accused Payne
of being a member of the Utah Mining
Syndicate whoch has been trying to gobble
up a lot of public lands. Senator Spooner
read letter from Payne stating that he
had not been a member of that company
for twenty two months. Senator Tillman
developed into the real obstructionist
He was against Payne, although this
was not stated openly, because of Payne s
position with reference to cutting down
southern representation in national con-
ventions on account of the disfranchise-
ment of the negro vote, and because he
was an active republican partizan and
vice chairman of the republican national
committee. Tillman waved eloquent, and
said that the confirmation should never
be made with his consent. He gestic-
ulated wildly, raised his shrill voice to it's
highest key and grew red in the face.
Finally Senator Rawlins said that he
would withdraw his opposition if Tillman
would. Senate or Clay said the same thing.
But Tillman was im1novable. Then Sen
ator Lodge took a handf making a strong
personal appeal to Tillman to withdraw
his opposition. No result Senator
Spooner made one like it. But still there
was nothing doing.
Then Senator Mason, chairman of the
postofhce committee, made plea. It was
his first official appearance as chairman of
the committee and his first report Of a
cabinet officer for confirmation Since
Governor Shaw had already been con-
firmed it would take a nasty lot of talk
not to confirm Payne also. If not con-
firmed to-day, the name would go over
| until Monday It would really be too bad
to place the new postmaster general be-
fore the country in so unfavorable a light.
With the Mason plea half a dozen
strong republican senators chimed in, and
then, after Mason had told Tillman what
good fellow he (Tillman) was, what a
big and kind heart he had, how generous
he always was. etc, Tillman reluctantly
| withdrew his opposition and Mr. Payne
was confirmed.
