in the theatre, where they obstruct
the view plentifully. and then next
they appear only on the street or in
the stable. a woman with deft fin
gers can make one of these hats in
a short time and at a very -.,tle cost.
Dame Rumor has it that the fash
ionable hat for horses next year will
be the Panama, as it is said the head
gear will not be fashionable for men
any longer than this year.
Time was when an old hat was
good enough for the horse, but that
time has passed. Now there are
hats for all sorts and sconditions of
horses and mules. The truck horse
may wear a plain sloughstraw hat
with red braid around the ear holes
and the edges, and the city cart horse
may wear an asbestos hat. or some
other inedible substance, but your
true plutocratic horse will have
something more elaborate. Poke
bonnets are fashionable for slow
horses.
There is an inventor who has the
welfare of the horse at heart. Not
being content with seeing that the
animals have been provided with hats
and bonnets to keep their foreheads
from being tanned, he is about to de-
wise new sort of hat that will com
bine all sorts of comforts for the
equine. "."s.
In the first place, he has designed
hat that will be light, becoming and
comfortable. Beyond this, he is con-
triving "a little electric motor to be
fitted into the top of the headgear
This will propel fan to keep the
horses head cool and at the same
time blow a number of red colored
ribbons at a brisk rate to shoe away
the flies. Later he may devise some
little tubes to run the cold air to
different parts of the horses body and
thus not only keep the animal cool,
but also keep away the flies.
The poke bonnet is for cart horse
or some other animal that goes at a
slow and poky rate. The other sort,
which appears very much like a
Panama in the latest block, is for a
young, brisk horse with rather
short nose and cOquettish leer in
her eyes. For mules. plain hats with
lunches of thiStles are shown. For
very young colts lawn bonnets may
be used, made with two ruffleS that
fall around the ears in soft folds.
Roce horses should always have their
hats trimmed in fast colors.

PoisonIng the system.

1t is through the bowels the body
is cleansed of impurities. COnstipa-
ton keeps these poisons in the sys-
tenn, causing headache, dullness and
melancholia at first, then unsightly
eruptions and finally serious illness
unless a remedy is applied. DeWitt's
Little Early Risers prevent this trou-
BILE by stimulating the liver and pro-
mote easy, healthy action of the
bowels. These little pills do not act
violently, but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work. Never grippe or distress.

One of the most astonishing feat
ures of the growth of American
postal system has been in that of
free delivery. The first route was es-
tablished only six years ago, but on
July 1. 1902. there were 9,461 routes
in operation. There are to be $50
more on August 1, and 10,19s petit
tions for routes are still under CON
sideration. According to population

SWELL EQUINE MILLINERY:
ELABORATE HORSES HATS

If you happen to see a horse stop
and crane his neck at certain
bright show window on any of the
streets you can set it down in your
note book that some especially fancy
bit of horse millinery has caught his
eye. The displays in that line are
unique this year and gorgeous to
degree; in fact they rival the array
set forth for the delectation of the
fair sex and the depletion of the
purses of the sterner portion of hui
manity.
As in the fashions of women, so in
those for horses, Paris leads the way.
Some of the brightest minds and the
most artistic have been engaged to
turn cut the-most rakish headgear
for horses and the results are some
thing almost beyond belief There
are hats and hats and then bonnets.
There are sweet little bonnets for
the gay and stylish colts, tall hats
for race horses, fiat hats for elderly
equines, bonnets for the very aged
and pokes for those who like that
sort of thing. The variety is great
and the trimmings may be elaborate
as the fancy of the owner may de-
sire.
Some of the hats shown are trim
med with ruffles and ribbon and have
little knots and clusters of flowers
placed coquettishly at the side
Other hats are as plain in appearance
as quaker bonnets of the sort pre-
scribed for members of the Free
Methodist church. Ribbons, laces
and flowers are piled on the straw
foundation in reckless extravaganza.
There is no limit to the expense of
the things and the millionaire can
get his favorite mare a hat that will
rival that of his wife if he so desires.
According to the French horse mil
liners elaborate coiffures are to be
the vogue this year. Foretops are to
be crimped and curled in variety OF
fashions, but the accepted form is
straight bang, falling just below the
hat. Small braids are also in vogue.
Most of the hats shown have strings
to tie them on with but those who
prefer can fasten the headgear on
with hatpins.
a very fetching thing for a coltish
young animal is bonnet tied on
with wide streamers. a cluster of
flowers placed between the earholes
adds much to the appearance of the
bonnet. OF course, the trimming
must be selected to go well with the
horses complexion. 1t would never
do to trim bay equine's hat with a
brilliant cerise or a roam with a ma
room color. One of the decorations
for these hats that promise to be
very popular is bunch of horse
chestnuts placed rakishly on one
side.
Some of the more economical wo-
men have taken to making over their
last years hats for their horses and
some surprising results have been OBJ
tanned. In this way hats are to be
made to do two seasons work. The
first year they appear in church on
Easter morning, at afternoon recep-
tions and carriage rides and perhaps

officials Story; of Wonderful Fiji
teen-Mile Run From Eek
ley to Ray.

The report Of a run of fifteen miles at
the rate of nearly one hundred miles an
hour, which came to headquarters the
other Gay from the western division of
the Chicago, Burlington &, Quincy railroad,
was. so startling that it was discredited
by the Chicago officials, and detailed re-
port called for.
The result is the following report from
conductor G. H. Burns which established
a new worlds speed record for runs Of
fourteen miles and over, the nearest APP
proach to it being the run of the Lehigh
Valley Black Diamond Express in April,
1897, when 1896 miles were made at an
average rate Of eighty miles an hour. Con-
ductor Burns says:
Train No. 6 left Denver for Chicago March
a. ten minutes late having to wait for a
through California car from the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad.
A heavy wind prevailed to Akron, liz miles
from Denver, which put us ont from Akron
thirty minutes late We passed Eckley,
thirty nine miles east of Akron, running at
seventy-five miles an hour. Between Eckley
and Wray distance of 14,S miles. I was in
the observation. car. In the car were several
gentlemen talking about the run-Arthur
Johnson of Denver, Wells Atlet Of Los Ange-
les, and H. C. Bush, traffic manager of the
Colorado Midland railway, and Mr.. Foley of
Omaha. We passed Eckley at 1856 p. M. all
hands holding watches corroborating. It
seemed so short when the whistle was blown
that Mr.. Johnson remarked, speaking to the
engineer, ''Oh, well, he is not doing SO much
as we thought he might Mr. Johnson be-
lieved we had only reached Robb distance
of 81 miles from Eckley. but at that mo-
ment the train dashed over a we'll known
bridge between whistling post and depot.
Then got up and said Gentlemen we are
at Wray, and you have ridden 14.S miles
faster than was ever made before" We had
made the distance in exactly nine minutes,
or at the rate of 1856 miles an hour
The train consisted of engine, mail car
baggage car, two reclining chair cars spe-
cial car Grassmere, three sleeping cars,
and a dining car. nine cars in all.

FLOUR CITY THE BEST RECORD BREAKING RUN
He Has just Returned From an Ex-
tended Touryo of Western
Cities.

After an absence of two months spent
in patient investigation of business con-
ditions and prospects of western cities,
where, in cases, real estate sells at double
Minneapolis values, Julius Schutt of
Julius .Schutt & Son, returns from south
ern California more thoroughly satisfied
with Minneapolis than ever. He says:
| can see no reason why the population of
Minneapolis should not double in the next
ten years and I honestly believe that there are
better and safer investments to be had in
our real estate market at the present time
than at any time in the history of the city.
On my return trip I vitited all the repre-
sentative towns including San Francisco,
Ogden, Salt Lake, Leadville. Pueblo, Colo
RADIO Springs, Denver and Omaha, and after
a personal investigation in these places
find that our general business interests, es-
pecially our real estate market, is in far
better and more healthy condition than in
any of them. l feel assured that there are
better inducements offered in our real estate
investments than in any city in the country
that l know Of
At Los Angeles the competition in all
lines of business was found by Mr.. Schutt
to be very brisk. The town has assurance
from Senator w. A. Clark of Montana
that he will build in his road from Salt
Lake City and the entrance of the Oregon
Short Line is assured. This will ma
terially help Los Angeles and the sur
rounding country. The vast coal fields
and iron interests which are now largely
undeveloped will give enormous traffic to
Pedro harbor about eighteen miles
distant will give an outlet and open up
a new market with the orient and the
PHILIPPINES.

UNHiTCHED THE HORSES
Then Enthusiastic Students Dragged

Kreiser, the great Austrian violinist,
who plays here next Thursday evening at
the Lyceum theater, with Josef Hoffman,
and Jean Gerardy was the recipient OF q
most unusual reception in Boston last
winter after he had given his seventh re-
cital there. A reception was rendered
him by the violin classes of the New Eng
land conservatory, there being nearly
1900 pupils in all. The committee IN
charge sent the carriage to his hotel COM
pletely covered with flowers, both inside
and outside. His escort, composed OF the
different violin teachers, preceded and
followed his carriage in automobiles that
were" similarly decorated, and surrounding
Kreisler's carriage ran couple OF nun
dred students who cheered him on his
way When within block of the conser-
vatory, Christine Nilsson fashion, the
horses were unhitched from the carriage.
The students made passage way for the
carriage and it was dragged between two
lines Of bowling, frantic, music mad
students to the enrance of the conserva-
tory. On his mounting the top step OF.
the entrance, another yell went up and ne
was compelled to bow for fully ten
minutes.
AS a compliment to the students for the
great honor shown him, Kreisler gave an

hours and drawing from his repertory

THIRD REACHES FRISCO.
LARGELY A NEW REGIMENT NOW
oniy 100 of the Men who Left
Smelling Are on the
Rolls.

After three years service in the Philip
pines the Third U. S. Infantry, formerly
stationed at Fort Smelling, returned to
San Francisco few days ago and is now
at the Presidio, awaiting orders The
Third left Manila, March Is, and had a
pleasant passage. At Nagasaki, Japan,
the men were allowed to go on shore,
and most of them did so. On April 5
the 180th meridian was crossed, and ac-
cordlng to practice, a day was added to
the reckoning, so that there were two
Saturdays and two April fifths in the
same week. One death occurred on the
transport, but it was due to consump-
tlon and was expected when the ship left
the islands. Hops were given on board
the boat, the regimental band providing
music, and although the men were some
what cramped for quarters, the voyage
proved most enjoyable
The regiment returns recruited to only
about half its strength and with only
eleven officers and eighty-nine enlisted
men out of the original 1900 who left
Fort Smelling three years ago. So great
was the change by expiration of service
that 100 nOncommissioned officers were
created in the regiment during one month.
Colonel Page returns with the regiment,
having been with it during the entire
Philippine campaign. Captain McRae,
with the rest. He holds the record Of
having captured more guns than any other
one man in the islands. Others, among
the commissioned officers, are Captains
Freeland, Day and Nichol; Lieutenants
Giddings, Frissell and Wygart. Lieuten-
ant Giddings is a Minnesota boy, and is
said. to be slated for captaincy within
very short time.
The regiments destination is not yet
known. However, it will be assigned to
some post in this country and will again
be recruited up to full strength. 1t made
most enviable record in the Philip
pines, beginning early in 1899 with the
advance from Caloocan and in the battle
of Malobon, where casualties were heavy.
Later the regiment went under General
Lawton on his northern expedition to San
1sidro, and more recently has been sta
toned in the provinces of Bulacan and
Pampauga, the hotbeds of insurrection
So well did the regiment perform it's
duties, both in the field and in the ca
pacity of guardian of municipal peace,
that several towns in which the civil gov
eminent was entrusted to officers of the
Third petitioned the commanding general
that no change be made in the assign
ment.
