Tailor Made Gowns.

An exhibition of tailor made gowns
at Lord and Taylor's gives evidence of
the favor shown to coats and other
gowns display blouses belted in.
Mixed cloth is very fashionable and
delightful tailor gowns for warm
weather, are in canvas, voile and other
semi-diaphonous goods. Such fabrics
often show the new feature of shlrring
but the lining below is tight fitting, so
that close outlines may be preserved
in some measure. In silks, great
favor is shown to pongee embroidered
in dots or large spots, and gun-metal
pongee is a novelty. Louisines in
checks are very stylish either for
waists or entire dresses.

Thousands Caught Daily.

Some idea can be formed of the i'm
mensity of the business when it is
learned that in one haul SO, 600 herring
were caught, and the largest days
catch of the year amounted to $4,000
in the Delaware and Chesapeake ca
nal. These fish are caught with a net
as wide as the canal. 1t is placed at
the mouth and dragged upward to the
lock, a distance of about 500 yards.
The net is then drawn closer around
the fish, which in their frantic efforts
to escape glisten in the sunlight like
silver. The net is finally brought
alongside of a scow, and the whole is
drawn over to wharf, short distance
away. The fish are then scooped from
the net with smaller nets and placed in
the scOw.
Large crowds watch the fishermen
daily. They are busy lot, however.
AS soon as the fish are out of the net
1t is carried to the mouth of the canal
again and the performance is repeated.

Steadily Growing Industry.

The industry has been growing with
each year, but never before in the his
tory of the little riverside hamlet have
so many men and boats been engaged
as this season, and indications point
that the season will be more profitable
than ever before.
Herring are the principal fish now
being taken, aud every day thousands
of them are brought over the docks.
Shad are caught, too, but the cool
weather has had a tendency to keep
them in deeper water, but the warm
sunshine will soon bring them up the
river, and the ishermens pockets will
feel the effect. Shad are much more
profitable than herring, and when they
make their appearance most of the
fishermen will go for them alone, but
in the meantime the herring are re-
ceiving their undivided attention.

TO THE LAST MOMENT
Tle Fight for the Assessors Cfice
 Will Be K.pt Up.

The fight for the appointment of county assessor will not be ended until the appointment has actually been made. It is probable that it will not end even then, but after that will pc directed against the board of super viscrs, the members of which are be- tween the devil and the deep se.i. Whatever they may do will be unsatis- factory to enc faction of the demo- cratic party or the other. It is there fore s:rnised that the supervisors will take Q middle ground and do as they please.
 It is possible that the appointmen. will be made today, though it Is gel- orally believed that the new board will do nothing more than to organize and let the matter of the appointment go over until the regular meeting next Monday.
 4 week ago a meeting of all the mem bers Of the democratic executive com mittee but three was held, at which a petition was prepared for presentation to the board for the appointment Of Henry Orme. It is said that another meeting of some of the members or the committee was held on Wednesday night for the purpose of urging stiI more strongly upon the board the ad- vantage to the party of appointing MT. Drme, or at any rate somebody else beside Frank Luke, in whose direction majority Of the members of the board were supposed to be looking. Informal meetings were held yesterday by mem bcrS of the executive committee who happened to be in town, and it was rUmorcd that they were unable to q gree upon candidate in the event the board could not see it's way clear to the appointment Of Mir. Orme
 The Young Mems Democratic club has by no means given up it's fight in behalf Of E. Sunderland. The club has a fair representation in the executive committee, and though it's representa- lives have been taking no part in the various endorsements of MT. Ormc and Mir. Dysart, they are said to be crea.- ing diversion in the committee in Ia Vor of Sunderland, with the oo;ect at the last moment of securing an en- dorsenent in his favor 2s against Luke.
 Two objections have been urgeCi against Luke; one is that he is too re- cent democrat. His friends remind ms opponents that he has been one Tor seven years, and they argue that since a man can repent of his sins and enter heaven in less time than that he ought within seven years to be able to pass rom the republican to the democratic party. Another objection to Luke is that he is already holding an office to which he was elected. That is the hard est thing MT. Luke's friends have to overcome; an office, to the democratic nlhd' IS such sacred thing if there IS good salary attached to it, that when an incumbent manifests a will Ilhgness for any cause to be jared loose from it he is to be regarded as an apostate or one not well grounded in the principles of true democracy.

TEE OLD YEAR SHOT OUT
And With IL, the Electric Light ard
 Power System.

The practice Of shooting out the old year which has obtained in this town from the earliest times ought to be sup pressed. The noise and the racket are not in themselves unbearable and there can be no just complaint against the shooting out of year for which mo- body has any further use. But this morning the shooters did not confine their aim to the passing year Some of the more reckless of the marksmen turned their guns upon the arc ana inCandesCent lamps of the electric lignt plant and shot them all out with the dead year. They also shot the power away, too, leaving the town in dark ness and helplessness, and thus for the space or an hour or two everything was brought to a standstill.
 All this happened at an unfortunate time for a newspaper office which can not wait on light or power. The Re publican though surmounted the oD- stacle which the New Year jewellers had put in it's way by restoring to commission that old reliable and peace disturbing gasoline engine upon whicl it has constantly learned to lean :l many hours Of darkness and weakness, and which does not permit itself to g. scared and panic stricken and bluffeG into silence and paralysis when guns go off ct midnight.

New Train ON Missouri Pacific.


From the Wichita Beacon. Nov. 81.
Commencing next Monday the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway will place in
service passenger train from Con-
way Springs to Larned and return.
This train will run daily except Sun
days, leaving Conway Springs at a.
M, arriving at Milton. 9:15; Norwich,
9:28; Kingman. 1913; Stafford. 1l:29;
Larned, 12:45 p. m. Train No. 50,
leaving Wichita at 7:40 a. m., will
connect with this train at Conway
Springs. Returning train will leave
Larned at 4 p. M; Stafford, 5:22;;
Kingman, 6:37; arriving at Conway
Springs at 7:45 p. M, where it will
connect with train No. SO from Kiowa,
arriving at Wichita at 9:15 D. m.
This service will greatly benefit the
business men of Wichita, since it en-
ables them to leave here in the morn
ing and go to Kingman, Stafford and
Larned, have several hours for busl-
ness at either of the places named
and return home the same day. The
train no doubt will be much appre-
ciated by the citizens of the towns and
cities located on the west end of the
D. M. & A. division, because hereto
fore only mixed trains have been
available on that division.

Kansas Wheat Shipments.

So much Kansas wheat is being
shipped to gulf ports to the financial
detriment of eastern roads that it is
being seriously considered to ad-
vance the gulf rate in order to force
the traffic over the longer haul.
There would be just as much sense in
shipping wheat from here to Chicago
by way of Denver. The question of
transportation today seems to be
what the traffic will bear and not what
the service is worth.

BEAUFORT IMPROVEMENTS.
Government Urged to Deepen the
River,

River.
Beaufort, S. c., June 1.-THE last
Congress provided that a survey of
Fort Royal bar and Beaufort river be
made with a view to deepening same,
if upon examination by the War De
partment it appeared that the needs of
the harbors commerce demands such
an improvement. In pursuance with
this bill, a corps of engineers of the
United States Army visited Beaufort
on Tuesday. At II O'Clock they met the
Board of Trade at the Commercial
Club. and listened to information re-
garding the commerce of the port.
Maj H. T. Hodges is head of the
board, and associated with him. are
Capt. c. H. McKinstry and Capt. w. V.
Judson. Capt. G.. P. Howell, who is
in charge of all engineering work In
this district, was also. present. MI.
W. H. Hun, superintendent of the Vir-
giniaC Carolina Companys Port Royal
plant, made an admirable statement.
Mr.. Hull. after reviewing the amount
of shipping handled in 1901 and 1902,
stated that, with the opening of the
spring of 1903 we have to date, handled
one vessel with an imported cargo
amounting to 3,400 tons, valued at about
$4,000, with the prospect of doing the
largest import business in the history
of the factory. The management have
so far found it of great advantage to
handle its business where freights do
not become congested, as was the case
almost universally last year, and In
this particular we have found the rail-
road entering here always equal to the
emergency, and eager to lend us their
cooperation. l have every assurance
that the business of this port will be
increased from year to year, as it's ad-
vantages become enhanced, and chief
among these advantages is deepening
the channel that vessels drawing TWEEN
ty-tWo feet of water, can come up at
any stare of tide"
Mr.. D. H. Lopez, superintendent of
the Coosaw Mining Company, made a
statement, showing the advantage
deepening of the channel of the river
would be to the commerce that would
come to his works whenever they re-
sumo operations.
The pilots presented statement
that called attention to the fact that
the governing depth in the bar chan
mel could be increased from PIX feet
to % feet by the removal of a shoal
of sand probably not over 100 feet
wide. They also urged the removal
of humps and bars, in Beaufort river
between Port Royal and Beaufort.
MIR Banner submitted for the Board
of Trade a letter giving the commerce
of this port for the year from Nov. ],
1901, to Nov. l. 1902. Except for
dredging contract for basin in front
of the United States naval station.
there has never been a cent spent for
Improvement of the lower river, and
the depth of water has remained re-
markedly constant for a period COW
