FRISCO SYSTEM.
1TilI Build Two Thousand TILES OF
Track, Making 1t the Greatest
System in the County.

The Frisco will build two thou
sand miles of new track within the
next two years, the plans having
been agreed upon before President
YoaLum left for Europe.
Mr.. j. B. Johnson of the big
contracting firm OF Johnson Bros,
was called to st. Louis just before
President Y oakum left for Europe.
How nuch railway construction
have VOC on hand?" said the pres
ident of the Frisco when Mr.. John
son called on him. "About 900
miles said Johnson. Don't load
up too heavy, Johnson, for we
have decided to build about 1000
mi les" continued Mr.. Yoakum.
Those who have kept well post
ed on the railway situation believe
that the Frisco's 1900 miles of
new track will be about as follows:
From the terminus of the Okla
homa City road at Quanah to
Phoenix, Arizona, distance, about
700 miles.
From Phoenix to the coast,
about 300 miles.
From Birmingham, Ala, to the
coast at Savannah, Ca, distance
/ of 800 miles.
From Fort Worth south, con-
Meeting links toward Ell Paso,
about 270 miles.
From Sapulpa to Enid through
Pawnee and Perry, 140 miles.
From Blackwell to Coffeyville
or some other point on the Frisco
line in Kansas, near Coffeyville, a
distance of about 125 miles.
From Oklahoma City to Coal

SOME FASHION FACTS.
Naf&ous Bits of Feminine Finery That Are Prominent in the
 Seasons Costumes

Modish dressing is not necessarily a matter of expense. It is how a thing is done, not so much of what it is made, says Woman's Home Compan- ion.
 If the color is becoming. and the cut, fit and design are fashionably correct, the material and trimming may often be inexpensive and only fair in quality and yet the result be distinct success.
 Though the autumn and winter fashions are elaborate, and though velyets, costly silks and rich em- broideries and trimmings play an im- portant part in the new gowns, yet each model may be copied in less expensive materials with astonishing ly good effect, or one or two of the newest features may be duplicated in remedeling last seasons froek
 In materials the ough-fnished goods are to be the vogue straight through the season. Zibeline close ly woven and closely sheared will be much worn, and what is known as the snowflake homespuns with their feeks of white. Much long haired camels-hair will be used, and the cheviots will be the standbys, as of old.
 Walking suits of corduroy made oh the style of tne summer shirt waist suit will be especially in fa- vor. Materials with crepe weaves are also considered good style.

CRIMSON CLOVER FOR HATS
The Latest Millinery Modes Are Ex- tremely Becoming to Most
 Women,

White and green are pre-eminentlv popular for the country modes in hats. For the seaside deep shade of crimson with white is much worn. For example white serge or cloth gown has deep folded sash of crim- son silk with gold buckle, with which goes ! turned-up sailor hat with crimson silk scarf and white wings. Crimson clover is also introduced, and is most effective in conjunction with natural colored leaves and foli- age. says Ladies' Field.
 Fashions are eminently becoming just now; the simplicity of tailor gowns makes dressing comparative ly easy as regards choice of styles, etc, but the intricacy of appliea- tions, encrustations, piqures and strappings can only be carried out by ingenious and experienced fingers. It is rare to find a little dress maker who can carry out a really chic model as it should be. Some thing is wanting, and it is only fair to those who have labored and toiled to reach the perfection of the cou- turier's art that the same result should be attainable by all who com- pete.

SEW BUTTONS ON TO STAY.
Few Simple Suggestions Which Mny Re of Value to the Young
 Housewife.

There may be some mild man. | nered, quiet people in the world | whose buttons never come off, who never find boot and glove buttons missing, just as boots and gloves are needed. But the ma iority of active human beings lose buttons as sure ly as they wear out clothing and the mother of q family often won ders despairingly if there is not some way of sewing them on to stay. The woman who is responsible for the buttons of family can afford to put thought into her work that will make the buttons stay on longer than they would without it, and thus make her head save her hands, says American Queen.
 In the case of all ready-made ar- ticles of clothing, sew the buttons on yourself before the garment is even worn. There is no thread or time wasted sewing on at home the buttons of ali shop-made articles, especially gloves, boots, jackets and underwear
 Do not use too coarse a thread, a smooth, hard-twisted one is better, and 1t should always be waxed and used double. Also put knots on the outside, under the button. and they will not then be likely to wear off. When buttons have come off and you are replacing them, be careful to pick out all remnants of old thread, and where the buttons are very close together do not fasten off the thread, but carry it along under meath from one to the next. Never jerk the thread or pull it tight. but draw it loosely and evenly, making a neck for eacS button with the thread twisted around it several times. All garments should fit cas- fly so that there will be no severe strain cn the buttons, and for the undergo rments of romping children 1t is weu to have two sets of button holes close together, so that if one succumbs to strain at an inoppor- tune moment the other may be fallen back upon. For ones own pettieoats 1t is often well to have an extra but ton sewed on for an emergency. Whenever the material allows use silk to sew on buttons. as it wears much better than cotton.

HELEN KILLERS ISLAND.
How the Wonderful Blind and Deaf Girl Got It in Exchange for
 Her Excellent story

Helen Keller's Story of My Life will be published in book form this fall. Its preparation has been of ab sorbing interest to the author, and a large sale for it is assured: but for a long time the publishers exhausted all their persuasive arts in vain eff fort to induce Miss Keller to under take the work, reports the New York Sun.
 She would not consider the most tempting offers, and the effort had been practically abandoned when the editor of the journal in which the autobiography has appeared heard incidentally that she had lost her heart to an island.
 In company with friends she had gone to the North Atlantic coast and had conceived the idea of making a summer home for herself on a little island near the shore She wanted the place tremendously, but buying it was out of the question, as she hadn't the money.
 The editor had vague ideas as to the cost of islands, but he wanted his story and was willing to take chances; so he wrote to Miss Keller that he would buy the island for her if she would write her story for him. She laughed at first, but finding him serious, agreed. He got his story. She got her island
 Moreover, she became enthusiastic over the work, and she has taken the greatest pleasure in it. The or dinary reader of the book will have little idea of the unusual amount of toll it represents and of the ob- stacles that had to be surmounted in its making.

FOG and
WEATHER
TO BLAME
Officers in Powhatan and Prls-
ella Collision Are ExOnera-
ted by U. S. inspectors.

Messrs. Potter and Wilcox. local in
spectors in the United States service.
have filed a report as to their investiga-
tion into the collision between the
steamer Powhatan OF the Merchants and
Miners and steamer Priscilla of the Fan
River line.
The collision occurred on the night OF
July s. 1902. at about II O'Clock. and from
the testimony presented at the investiga-
ton the weather between Point judith
and Beaver tail. where the collision oc-
CURED. was very foggy, and so after
careful consideration the board OF In
spectors come TO the conclusion that the
officers on the Powhatan could see the
Priscilla before the officers on the Pris-
ella could see the Powhatan.
In the opinion Of this board the officers
on both steamers did all that was possi-
BILE 10 be done under the circumstances.
and the fog and weather conditions d.
verting the sourd OF the Priscilla's whis-
tie was evidently the cause OF the COLI
sion, as by the testimony there was no
lack OF vigilance nor any unskilfulness
on the part OF the officers or men on both
steamers
The officers on both steamers are to be
commended for the discipline maintained
after the collision and for their seaman
ship and good judgment in taking care OF
the passengers and bringing the ships
and passengers safely into port after the
collision.
We therefore exonerate the licensed Of
ficers on both steamers from any charge
OF inefficiency or unskilfuk seamanship
resulting in the collision on the night OF
July 1902
