More Than 1000 Voters.

The total number of poll taxes
paid in Ellis county was 1875, as
shown by the official report of Tax
Collector Billie Brateher, which was
completed Saturday afternoon. With
the exemptions for over age and
other legal reasons this win place
the number of qualified voters of the
county at 5000. The number of poll
taxes paid shows an increase over
the vote Of the county in the last
two general elections. There is also
slight increase over the vote pollec
in the primary election last year. In
the general election in 1900 Sayers,
for governor, received 5,735, while
in the election last November Lam
hams vote fell below that, being
4,s32.

ENNIS WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE
Battled Bravely with a Negro
Purse SnatCher-

Mrs. Jessie Callahan of Ennis had
quite a thrilling experience in Dial
las Saturday night with a negro
purse suatcher. Mrs. Callahan was
visiting Mrs. f. G.. Dorau at the
corner of South Harwood and Gano
streets. About eight O'Clock Satur-
day night she boarded a street car
for the above address. There were
two negroes on the rear platform
who, she states, stared at her in an
impudent manner until she left the
car at Gano street. AS she stepped
from the platform one of the ne
groes followed her. The front gate
being only few feet from the car
track, she hurried into the yard.
The negro pursued her to the front
door and endeavored to wrench her
chain purse from her hand, which
she refused to deliver. Seeing that
she would not turn loose, the brute
bit her and wrenched her hand
severely and dealt her q terrific
blow in the face, which brought the
blood in profusion. At this june
ture she screamed for help, anC
Mrs. Doran opened the door, at the
same time firing two shots at ran
dom with a revolver, which caused
the negro TO beat a hasty retreat.

enough to achieve at this moment,
when new ideas and new materials are
the order Of the day.
There are modes in cushions as in
everything else, and the present illus
trations may be taken as examples Of
some of fashions latest DEGREES on the
subject. The frilIed cushion of brocade
or tapestry is considerably out of date,
cord being deemed a more fitting finish
to beautiful embroidery or richly WOW
en- designs. Not that frills are alto
gether at a discount-Mme. La Mode is
too sensible of their prettiness for that
80 the cushion slip Of embroidered
muslin or net remains, as it well may,
adorned with frills, crisp or soft, as the
case may be.
A good example of very dainty
cushion has delicate Marie Altoinette
cover in hand worked applique or net,
bordered with a soft, lace trimmed
f1ounce and revealing an under cover
of turquoise blue or some equally
charming shade. It measures twenty
four inches square and is one of the
many designs in Marie Antoinette style
Equally attractive is a cushion in
silken cover delicately striped in leaf
green and silvery white, the very thing
to accord with the somewhat severe
grace Of Sheraton settee and salts
factory specimen of the good taste of
simple silk cord for finish Almost
the one instance in which the silk frilI
still survives is in some Of the large
sized, thirty inch square pillows, which
suit so well with the proportions Of an
ample couch.
Tissue or taffeta, which is undoubt-
edly one Of the most fascinating of the
furnishing fabrics of today, lends itself
admirably to the covering of cushions.
A graceful design Is a flower basket
set medallion-wise into a pretty check
cred framing of blue and black An
other pattern, of crimson roses, is made
up in one Of the newest shapes for the
small oblong cushion which is SO COM
Portable to tuck in at ones back below
larger cushion. And this brings us
to the consideration of the smaller PHI
lows, which are a special feature.
These pretty little "head cushions are
miniature pillows, oblong in shape and
about the size of a cot pillow, covered
with embroidered muslin, to be placed
on the top of larger cushion for luxu-
rious adjustment to the position of
ones head, and very comfortable as
well as tasteful they are.
Muslin cushion covers still enjoy the
popularity they SO well deserve, and
for those who like to exercise their in
dividual taste in working them the first

ton. The muslin is embroidered in

known, women are in the stampedes

along with men boomers to new lands.
Recently a girl in a northwestern state
heard of a mineral claim that was to
be vacant on the LIST of January owing
to not having done on it the work nee
essary to 'prove up" the property.
Without telling of her intention this
girl of grit started to drive to the claim
and be on the ground by midnight of
the new year. The thermometer was
IA degrees below zero, and, worse yet, a
blizzard was raging, but the young
lady drove through the savage weather
and camped upon the claim till morn
ing, when she set up her stakes and
wrote her name upon them. Now she
is in possession of a property that will
give her returns worthy of her grit.
