WEEK OF
OPENINGS
Big Stores Displayed Spring
Millinery and Finery
MUSIC AND SOUVENIRS
With Beautiful Decorations
Were Features of Events.

The past week was Wichita's second
week of spring openings. and the crowds
of lockers and buyers who attended the
various openings at the big stores evil
denced the increasing interest in spring
millinery and apparel. The first of the
week was
THE RoRABAUGH OPENING.
which took place Thursday and Friday.
Notwithstanding tAe Indictment weather
Thursday, the large, well appointed NIL
linery department of this popular store
was crowded the entire afternoon. Miss
Mae Yoder has charge of the Rorabaugn
millinery, and she was assisted on TINS
occasion by Mrs. Louise Henderson and
an able corps of trimmers and salesla-
dies. who received the hundreds of callers
and showed the many beautiful crea tons
in spring millinery. The department was
artistically decorated in Oriental design
with white background and green and
purple shades predominating. The de-
partment was in spring attire and the
sweet music by hamburger & Sanford
orchestra blended with the lovely crea-
tons of head dress made a combination
inspiring and fascinating. The hats were
exquisitely beautiful and the Rorabaugh
display did Miss Yoder great credit as
an aEIlSI Win GActpllollSl a. N4Se1S toSbS-
Purple is quite a favorite for Easter
color with her and she shows this in the
display of all the purple shades. But
the hats were a galaxy of bright color
ings one rich and very handsome crea-
ton is a mushroom shape. one of the
large shapes with close fitting back in
black poppy leaves giving the effect OF
one high poppy. The facing IS formed
of woven moline. the spider web effect.
The whole hat is lighted up with cut jet
and trailing vines of white and green,
and is very chic and much admired.
The coronet shape hat is outlined in a
quaint shape carrying a beautiful design
in a little garden flower with colorings of
deep red and white tints The formation
is of a briided tissue paper novelty, with
a slight touch of gold and coral bringing
out this unique creation. Miss Yode>
showed street hats in great assortment
and many exclusive effects and shapes.
among which are the Automobile,
Boat and "Pingpong." She also show
ed an elaborate display of the close fit
ting toque. The violet and the forget
me-not are the favorite flowers for East
er street hats. The street hats this
spring have a very flowery appearance.
The shapes are of the skeleton or airy
designs. The moss effects are also
brought out very strong this season and
shown in many designs and effects at
Rorobaugh's.
Generally speaking, the dress hats are
drifting back to the old fashioned quaint
shapes with broad crowns. but especially
the moss effects and foliage applique is
exceptionally stylish and popular. The
sea green. tear drop, jet and black and
white effects are very swell. In street
hats made in straw burnt orange, plaids
and red are especially good form and
considered correct. In the automobile
caps and more dressy hats the cham
payne shades are quite popular.

ITALIAN EMleRANTs HERE.
Several Large Families Were at Santa
Fe Station Yesterday.

The Santa Fe depot was alive with Ital-
ians yesterday. They came in on the
Frisco early yesterday morning, and left
for Frederick, Kan, in the afternoon.
While they were at the depot they made
life weary for those employed there.
There were several families, and each
family consisted of father and mother
and about six little dagoeS. Each little
ago had a good pair of lungs, and when
they all tuned up there was something
doing around the Santa Fe. The porter
tried hard to keep them herded on one
side of the waiting ROOM but they would
break out. They led the news agent a
merry chase and he was just beginning
to lower the stand windows when their
train arrived and each Italian grabbed
three little Italians and a gunny-sack full
of clothes under his arms and marched
out of the depot. These Italians were
among the strikers in the coal mines in
Pennsylvania, but tired of mining. they
left their eastern homes and will locate
at Frederick Kan.

Cleveland avenue has finally been open
ed between Third and Central. There

 There was a big scare at Bocas del Toro on the receipt of news via Port Limcn, Costa Rica, that the Colombian government was sending five thousand troops to re-take the port, which had recently declared its allegiance to the new republic, and the alcalde left on the Markomannia for Colon for the purpose of obtaining arms and ammu- milton with which to equip five hundred volunteers to resist the expected Co., lombian attack.

LOOKED INTO IT
Found What Coffee Was Quietly Doing

A man made certain that coffee was the real cause of his kidney trouble and severe backaches. He says: For 15 years I have been a coffee drinker and finally l proved to my own satis- faction that the abominable stuff not only started my kidney disease, but was rapidly making me sick all over.
 My back used to pain and ache ter ribly, and my wife was affected much the same way. A short time ago I became very i'll. I ordered coffee ban ished from the house. and began to drink Postum in its place.
 We all began to improve immedi- ately and to feel as though we had taken a new lease on life. We kept on improving until Postum has made us well and healthy where coffee made us sick Our backaChes are gone and other troubles too. thanks to Postum in place of coffee" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Coffee is a strong diuretic irritant and affects the kidneys in a great many cases where it is not even sus- pected. If you value health and a sound body, the wise thing to do would be to quit coffee and give Postum a fair trial of say two weeks. There's a reason.

THE RUMOR STAGE
It Has Been Reached in the District I5 Strike
Reports Set Afloat Only To Be Denied That 0vertures Are Being Made For a Settlement.

Trinidad. Colo, Nov 13.-FOr the fist time since the strike of the coal miners in this district was declared on Monday. J. T. Kebler general man. ager of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company is said to have made advances to effect settlement.
 Today it is authoritatiVely stated he requested the striking miners to 9p- point a committee Of five men to con- fer with him in his office in Trinidad. This proposition was rejected by the men, who say the United Mine Workers of America must be recognizel before any settlement can be made. The proposition is said to have been made in both Starkville and EnglevilIe. two C. r. & I. camps, which have been closed down since the strike was de- clared.
 A number of miners were taken to Primero this morning in a caboCse of the Colorado & Wyoming railroad.
 Several armed guards went with the miners and they were taken to the mine under guard. Whether they were strikers who returned to work or men sent here from anothec point. is i'm possible to determine.
 The company officials claim they were returning strikers while the union officials state htat they were shipped in from other points.
 Many rumors to the effect that the operators had acceded to all the de mands of the men, with the exception of recognition of the union. gained considerable credance and caused a sensation on the streets this evening.
 This. as did the other proved to be incorrect and was promptly denied ID both operators and union officials.
 No settlemenut is in sight at this time.
