DIDN'T scRAPE THE BOTTOM.
But There Wasn't Very Much Left for
a Sweetener in Bounty Fund.

The last legislative session appro-
priated 100000 to pay wolf bounty de-
ficiencies for scalps presented under
the old law, which provided but IS, 900
per year to pay bounties. but placed
no limitation on the amount which
was available In any one year. The
time has expired for fling claims to
this deficiency, and the total amount
claimed is s29,1S7. This shows a
close estimate when 1t was placed ut
$4,000, and the amount which will be
turned back to the state will not car
ry the any great length Of
time.

ing brim and high crown, a most becoming style of hat for some women, but emphat- eaily a dress hat to be worn with an elabo- rate costume and one that calls for the smartest of lace wraps, big cloaks, and which when worn with a simple froek Is quite out of keeping and as a rule unbeeom- ing. Large hats of fine neapolitan straw, so called In former days now known as .'crin, and trimmed with ostrich tips, are on the order of the picture hat, and are large and graceful and can be strikingly individual, as the wide brim can be caught up to suit the wearer
 White hats of lace tulle and lace erin and white chip are also dainty and attractive In the extreme and are also large and on the picture hat type. A hat of white erin, with plaitings of tulle, is as light as thistledown, which, by the way, lt strongly resembles, while a white lace and tulle hat, with pale pink roses, looks quite too dainty for any one but fairy princess to wear. And the parasols of lace. chiffon and silk, with be- jeweled and enameled handles, the embroid- cred bead reticules. for they are like nothing else, the Jewels and jewelry, all combine to form total of luxury and elegance which was surely never seen before this year and which must certainly interfere with the en- tire attention being paid to the horsehesh.

The fashion Is one that easily can be exaggerated, and now one sees the sleeves beginning below the top of the arm, giving a most curious effect anatomi- cally but anatomy and fashion can rarely be satisfactorily combined, and so the fichu the shirred shoulder yoke and the long shoulder seam must needs be accepted if one wishes to be in the height of the fashion this spring. The white cloth gowns are given the desired long shoulder effect by the yoke or collar, or by folds of the cloth placed below the true

 In washing blankets choose clear, bright day. when there is no other washing to be done. If there are bindings of ribbon, rip them off, and if they are cut apart Ut tho end where they are folded, so much the pet ter. They can then be washed and handled much more easily, and when washed ana dried may be finished at the ends with border of worsted or Germantown done In blanket stitch. Have ready tub full of warm soap suds, made of white soap Never use the brown soap, which contains rosin. for washing hannels, as 1t fills and knots the wool. For every two gallons of water add tablespoonful of household ammonia. Take care that the water Is no hotter than you can bear with your hand in 1t comfort ably. Shake the blankets thoroughly to remove all dust. Then lay in the water and, after "sousing'' them up and down few times, let them soak for an hour or two in the suds. Any specially soiled spots should be removed before putting In the suds. For grease use benzine, and for stains brush and board and soap and cold or lukewarm water according to the nature of the stains When the blankets have soaked enough, begin washing in the strong suds, sopping and squeezing and lifting and drop ping until the dirt is removed. A strong man or woman Is required to do this work thoroughly When the blanket looks clean, put into a second tub containing light studs and borax or ammonia In the same propor- tlons as before, taking special pains to have the water of the same temperature as that in which the blankets have been washed. Repeat the sousing and pressing in the sec ond suds. Then rinse in clear water of the same temperature. In wrlnging the blankets

Fine clothes and fine horses are generally seen together, and at the races are always to be noticed the very latest fashions; in fact, the races, spring and fall, are the dates when the new styles make their appear ance. All the accessories of dress are Fequi- site to a fine appearance at the race course and no woman Is thought well gOwned who has not every detail of her dress correct. The wraps, the hat, the parasol, the shoes, the gloves and the pettieOat must be of the latest cut and color or the costume Is not thought smart and rarely receives second glance. No matter how expensive and elabo- rate the materials used. or how original the design If all minor details are not carried out a much plainer gown worth only half the price will be given the palm.
 This season white gowns are more fash ionable than black or colored, and when the colored are worn the lightest possible shades are preferred. There is an endless variety In the white gowns, wonderful va riety-cloth silk, yelling, canvas, linen, piaue mohair, batiste, etc. For the cooler days the white cloth gown is by Tar the smartest of all, and In any shade or cream Ivory and blue white, and trimmed With lace embroidery and passementerie or elapo rate hand braiding. White serge gowns, with fancy passementerie, white and silver, or white aud gold braid, are among the newest models and an exceedingly smart design mas perfectly white passementerie, with rosettes and tassels to match.
 An astonishing variety of laces are In style this season, the heavy gupure and cluny, the filet laces the Irish and Venetian point, real and imitation, and the embroidered laces as we'll The straight band down the front of the waist and skirt shaped to be narrower at the belt and then widening toward the hem, is always smart and becoming and for the moment the flat embroidered pieces that hang like the fur stoles In straight lines from the shoulders are immensely popular.

shoulder seams, or, If folds are unbecomIng, the braid Is so arranged. With yelling or any of the lighter materials it Is compara- lively easy to obtain this effect. for the lace or shlrred yoke will give It. If not. one of the new shlrred stoles made of chiffon will ac- complish It.
 At the races Is capital opportunity to see all the smart wraps, but no matter how heavy the gown the wrap seems to give the finishing touch. Both street and long coats are fashionable, but for the moment the loose white coat that reaches below the knees Is the favorlte. The dust eloaks (so called, in reality the smartest, of silk or pongee are most fascinating. Half fitting they are so designed as not to give the ugly, shapeless appearance that many of the evening cloaks possess, but while half disRuislng the figure, In reality aecentuate any graceful lines Two, three and sometimes four capes are seen on these coats, while other styles again have no capes, but instead the shawl collar, which joins In the revers and is faced with silk on which Is a heavy embroidery in either silk or cotton, or on one style the collar and revers are faced with figured fouard, the same as is used in lining the coat.

 Even in summer while flying through the air at rate of speed which is forbidden by law, but always indulged In whenever pos sible, the draught of air is SO great as to make warm style of clothing requisite.
 A point to be taken into consideration is the fact that the amount of dust that the exercise produces soon makes a dark gar ment look fearfully shabby. So ingrained Into the material does the dust become that 1t Is almost impossible to get It out and for this reason light coiors are better than dark ones- Tan covert and even the lighter col ored cloths are far better than the dark browns or blacks or blues.
