The millinery display at The Fair
this spring is unusually handsome.
one thing noticeable is additional
room for showing hats, the candies
having given place to more import
ant affairs. The line of pattern hats
is more extensive and combine the
latest Partisan effects. 1t is not eX-
actly necessary. however, to have a
pattern hat to be in style for Miss
Jackson has arranged great many
hats that can hardly be detected from
the imported article. The style, eli
feet and show is apparent, Adding a
large line of hats of this character
with the imported list makes a fine
showing.
Special attention has also been Civ
Ell to children's hats ranging from five
to Is years. And the young miss who
has not attained her teens is becom.
ing almost as critical as her older
companions. and 1t is source of sat
isiaction to have hats that pleases the
young as well as those in the prime of
life

advantage. 1t kept Miss Jackson and
several asst tants busy this afternoon
to wait upon the crowd that thronged
the store. 1t is the intention to con

indianapolis, Ind, April 24.--The first
business In the republican state conyen-
tion this morning was the presentati tion
of the report of the committee on reso-
lutions. There was a hot fight I'm the
committee over the insertion of the
clause indorsing the gold standard
1t had been decided to advocate plank
in which some members of the commit
tee thought they could detect an APP
proval of the bank asset currency. 1t
was stricken out after lengthy debate
and the plank found in the platform was
adopted. The report was unanimously
adopted.
The resolutions affirm the platform
adopted by the republican national con-
vention in Philadelphia in 1900, and con-
rinue:
Commend Mckinley. ee,e
"We view with pleasure the unprecc-
dented measure OF prosperity which pre-
walls throughout the entire country, the
rich fruit of republican policies and re-
publican administration, and we de-
precate every effort to overthrow the
laws and the administration under which
such results are accomplished. We
mourn the death of the great le der and
president, William Mckinley. He was
an ideal citizen, statesman OF profound
wisdom, patriot of the most exalted
purpose. His name and services are a
part Of the splendid and enduring his
tory of the republic.
I'VE cordially indorse the able and
patriotic administration of President
Roosevelt and pledge him the earnest
support of the republicans Of Indiana
in all his efforts to continue and advance
the prosperity of the people at home and
the glory of the republic abroad
Favors Reciprocity.
The platform expresses qualification
that Cuba Is soon to pass into the hands
