MILLINERY
OPENING.

va LII NUlNO0
Magnificent Millinery Display at
the Leader.
While CLOTHES do not make
the man" by any means, every
daughter of Eve is we'll aware
that the hat she wears makes
or mars her appearance and
contributes more to stamping
ner as a woman of elegant taste
or a dowdy than any other
article of raiment. But for
tunately for the good appear
ance of femininity the revival
of the picturesque in millinin-
cry is the leading feature in
the fall and winter fashions.
And in laying aside the summer
hat which certainly was lovely
in it's day, recompense is found
in the beauty and perfection of
this seasons modes. Grace is
the essential quality of the hat
to be worn by miladi this win
ter, and not for many seasons
have there been so many nov
elites and high class effects. In
shapes there certainly was
never so great a variety. Every
sort of taste can be suited and
all types of faces can be easily
fitted in the becoming shapes
offered, for without doubt this
is a season of extremes, so far
as shapes, colorings and man
ipulation of trimmings are con-
cerned, and a great drifting
away from the conventional.
Once upon a time, and that time
is not long in the past when it
was thought that only in the
large cities could tho finished
productions of the professional
be found, and the women of
small places must satisfy them
selves with amateurish design
and home fashioning, but if
this idea fingered in the mind
of any one at this late day it
was thoroughly dispelled at the
grand opening at the Leader
today. The establishment was,
during the entire day, thronged
with eager enthusiastic ladies,
who were intent upon satisfy
ing their love for the artistic
and the beautiful, and the
:sightseer, whether she made a
purchase or not, went away
convinced that it costs less to
buy a stylish, correct and ex-
pertly finished hat at the
Leader than the productions of
the novice cost elsewhere, and
that the multiplicity of millin-
cry conceptions and modish de-
signs exceeds all previous eff
forts in our city. Miss Gladys
Karsting, who for seven seasons
has delighted the hearts of the
lovers Of true artistic skill, and
who numbers her patrons by
the hundreds, is again with
Miss Dolan, and any who view
the immense display of hats at
the opening today can we'll
understand the partially of our
ladies for Miss Karsting's love-
ly creations, as her work bears
the stamp of elegance, the ir-
resistible charm of style and
quality. Her fingers seem to
know every touch which adds
t. picturesqueness and her un-
questioned taste at once dis
tinguish between the freak and
true fashion. Miss Dolan seems
to have been more fortunate
than ever in her varied stock
of exquisite materials. Every
thing rich and telling in effect

George w. Egan of Logan, a

arrest on a charge of murder,
announces the trial of this now
famous case will be commenced
in Ainswol5h, Neb., Monday,
October IL.
Hans has been identified
with the secret service de-
partment of the Nebraska and
Wyoming division of the North
Western for several years and
has been involved in consider
able trouble during that time
but his present predicament is
by far the most serious trouble
he has ever known. While at
tempting to arrest a prominent
|stockman near Ainsworth sew
eral months ago, Hans shot
and killed him. Besides the
two principals the only witness
to the tragedy was the little
son of the stockman. Soon
after the shooting the child
disappeared and the prosecution
although searching the country
over, has just located the child,
and the testimony of the child
is expected to be a severe blow
to the defense.

On the Edge of a precipice.

voice, see his face no more-for four
months were as good, or as bad. as
eternity to her.
She pictured herself alone on the
bleak Cornish coast and Lord Villiars

walks on the cliffs. no sweet words or
kisses traught with love! For would

age and watch? She would be a close
prisoner wherever they sent her. So
close that though her lover might be
ever so near, she would not be per-
mitted to see him.
Her heart. brave as it was, sank
under the prospect. and was as heavy
as lead as she put on the old frieze
cloak and went down to the park.
She reached the stile, and a moment
later Lord Villiars was by her side.

A Father a Daughters Confidant.

There are two things that can be
done by a father for his daughter and
that, if they were always done. would
in the course of a single generation,
make our womankind approach level
which they have never yet reached.
The first is to gain the confidence of
his daughter in her earlier years, and
the second is to keep it unimpaired
and to pegpetuate it. If he be his
daughters friend and chosen COM
panion, sharing all her little conf.
dences and imparting to her much of
what he knows, with the intuition of a
woman and the breadth and sanity of a
man, the girl will grow up with a
mind unlike the minds of many wo-
men in whom femininity verges upon
faulty. From close association with
a father, the young girl quite uncon-
sciously acquires something of the
largeness of the mans nature and
narrowness of the woman's. His tole-
narrowness of the womas. His tole-
rant, genial spirit will moderate her
tense emotionalism. His sense of
humor will rid her of sentiment and
Undue her with a sense Of true pro-
portion. His fun, his good comrade-
ship, his affection and his knowledge
of life will help to send her forth into
the world strengthened and deyeloped
as no purely feminine influence could
strengthen and develop her.

JAKEEsTEP's STOLEN CHICKENS
Mark Twain Used to Enjoy Them
While He Was a River Pilot.

Wniie ne was HINer Pilot.
Mark Twain" declares that he was
never a chicken thief IL mis- life. an
entirely gratuitous observation, con-
sidering the fact that no one has ever
accused him of being such a mis-
creant. On the theory that the re-
ceiver is as bad as the thief, however,
there may be some reason to doubt
Marks asseveration. An old asso-
ciate of the humorist, known as the
major, was with him during many of
his river trips, and said the other
day: 1--WE had great times on the
Mississippi when Mark Twain Jack
Mississippi when Mark Twain Jake
would have made a typical soldier. He
could locate fat pullet in whole
coop of half-breeds.
''In those days we carried & great
deal of poultry from points along the
Mississippi river to New Orleans, par
ticularly during the holiday season.
At many places the coops were four
and five deep on the levee when we
landed Estep always had an eye out
for particularly promising coop, and
usually kept in mind the place where
it had been stored away.
Shortly before midnight he would
go on deck and extract several plump
fowls from the coops he had pre-
emptied.' The chickens were dis
patched without a protesting squawk,
the entrails removed, but the feathers
left intact. Seasonings were then in
serted and the fowls inclosed in a
heavy casing of soft clay to the thick
ness of two inches. They were then
cast among the hot embers in the
ashpan and permitted to roast to the
queens taste. When thoroughly cooked
they were removed and the clay cas-
ing broken from about them The
feathers came away with the clay,
leaving clean smoking-hot fowls ready
for the dish of hot butter awaiting
them upstairs. Estep with a fork
stripped the flesh from the bones into
the melted butter, while the rest of us
stood about and smacked our lips in
anticipation. sDear, dear. but they
were good. In cooking them in that
way all the rich flavors were retained
i can almost taste them now, and |
wish could as a matter of fact"
