TRAINS RUN THROUGH THE
WATER NEAR OTTA VA. KAS.

Ottawa, Kan, June ga second
flood of the year has come down the
Marias des Cygnes. less than month
after all high-water records in the
town were broken. The river at Main
street stood at twenty-seven feet last
evening. While this is S.s feet below
the record Of June 1, it cuts off COM
munication with North Ottawa by
Main street, and has driven about
thirty families from their homes. The
water and light plants can stand but
a few inches more of rise. The cleo
trio light plant was only started the
latter part of last week, after the
damages of the last flood were re-
paired. Railroad traffic was some
what disarranged yesterday, through
fear that the trains would be cut off
near here, but trains are running
practically on time today The Mis-

PRETTYSUNBONNETS
INFANTILE COMPLEXION TO BE
WELL CARED FOR THIS
SUMMER.
sunbonnets Are Worn for Everyday
and Dress Occasions Little
Ruching Popular Trimming for the
Face-The Parsifal Poke.

The average child despises a sun
bonnet, not because it is old-fashioned,
but because it ties under the chin;
but as the care of the infantile COM
plexion is just now the aim and ambi-
ton of the mother who expects to
launch future social buds, sunbonnets
or very large shade hats will be worn.
To be sure these sunbonners are
very dainty, an exquisite combination
OF linen, pique, embroidery by hand
and embroidered ruffies, but sunbon-
nets they remain, and no other name
will describe them.
There are bonnets Of blue chambray
stitched in white and edged with stiff
little ruchings Of fine Hamburg. These
are in self-tones and tied with pink or
blue streamers. And there is no end
of the pure white pique bonnets, en-
broidered by hand in delicate white
flowers fleur-de-lis and other conven-
tional designs.
The ParsifaI Poke.
In dressy bonnets to shade the face,
the Parsifal poke is perhaps the one
novelty Of the season. It looks for all
the world like Shaker sunbonnet,
with its slantering side pieces, and it
has short Curtain" in the back. The
frame Is of buckram, covered with
champagne silk and overlaid with all
over Valenciennes, and finished with
tiny ruchings of Valencinnes edging
The curtain" is soft and unlined
showing a deep lace fiounce to match
the covering Of the bonnet. A shirring
of white ribbon where the curtain
Joins the bonnet, a round, chubby chou
of ribbon on top Of the bonnet proper
and strings of the same ribbon, com
plete the picturesque and demure bit
Of millinery.
The 1880 poke bonnet is less pro-
more popular. It can be evolved from
all the materials of which lingerie hats
are made. The frame comes well over
the face, but right in the center Of the
brim Is bent up suddenly and sharply
to secure almost "V" shaped effect
Lingerie Hats.
A pretty model Is evolved from pal
est out. A double ruching of the chif.
fon edges, the brim and the facing is
| cunningly caught here and there with
pink blooms no larger than a forget
me-not. A big bow of soft liberty
ribbons set off the top of the bonnet
and the strings, which match, are OF
broad, soft ribbon
| A beautiful lingerie hat for girl OF
13 or IA years was done in figured
chiffon, showing blue roses on a white
ground. fiounce of white lierre lace
edged the brim, and big bows tot blue
ribbon, matching the figure in the
chiffon, finished the top of the hat
Another blue lingerie hat showed shir-
rings of blue chiffon, the facing lat
ticed in green winery in shaded ribbon
caught with small blossoms made OF
| soft satin ribbon.
All the white lingerie hats in lawn
nainsook and other sheer materials
| whether trimmed with lace or with
embroidery, are set off by choux made
from narrow satin ribbon tied to slim.
ulate flowers. Pale blue, pale pink
delicate green. lavender and pure white
ribbons are used with all white lingerie

to announce that we are compelled
to cglose down our steel plant and to
take steps to dispose of it at the
earliest opportunity in order to save
as much as possible for the stock
holders. For two years we have been
testing the process in every way, and
at times would think we could pro-
duce the best steel in the world and
make 1t all alike. But we have now
found that 1t cannot be made uniform
herein is our Waterloo.
Mr.. Dawson has been so hopeful
that he could correct this trouble that
we have. been very sanguine about re-
suits and have kept on trying until
we have finally despaired. At the last
meeting of the executive committee it
was decided to send Mr.. Burton, Mr..
Weis and Mr.. McCarty to New Brigh-
ton to make whatever disposition of
the plant seemed best in their judg-
ment The New Brighton stock
holders had written us that we were
not making a success and seemed
willing to dispose of the business and
save whatever we could for the stock
holders.
The company has now sold the stock
on hand, the process, and has rented
the plant and machinery for S1OO per
month for one year. with the privilege
Of buying If they wish. We ask the
stockholders to ratify the action of
the committee, so that we may pro
coed to close the matter up.
Mr.. Dawson has made and does
make some of the best steel in the
world, but not being able to make it
uniform renders it 1mpracticable to
continue the business. We have no
one to blame everything has been
done in good faith. The promoters
have from time to time placed in the
treasury for sale stock to the amount
of three-fourths of all their holdings.
Not one of them has received cent
either in salary or in any other way,
with the exception of Mr.. Taft, who
left his business and took charge of
the plant for short time. We shall
proceed to close up the business in
a business like manner,and will make
a final report to each stakeholder
when it is completed.
Please do not fail to sign the en-
closed proxy in case you cannot be
present at the stockholders meeting

DARK HORSE
WILL WIN
POLITICIANS IN WASHINGTON
THINK PARKER AND HEARST
ARE BEATEN.
HOPE FOR MCCLELLAN
The Chances Look Best Just Now for
the New York Mayors Nomination
Nomination of Either Hearst or
Parker Would Cause Hard Fight.
(BY H. J. MAHIN.)
Washington Bureau of Courier.
Washinoton, ., c., June %,

Sentiment has so radically changed
national democratic convention just
one week away 1t is openly de-
clared by leading democrats here that
Judge Parker of New York. has no
more chance of the nomination for
president than has Mr.. Hearst. A
dark horse" is the expectation of
many of the leaders. 1t is now seen
that to nominate either Judge Parker
or Mr.. Hearst would cause a serious
disruption in the party ranks. Mr..
Hearst and even Mr.. Bryan have
enough influence in the party and
sufficient following to create consider,
able trouble should Mr.. Parker be
nominated and there would certainly
be large detection from the ranks
by the other branch of the party if
Mr.. Hearst received the nomination.
Judge Parker and Mr.. Hearst are far
in the lead Of the other candidates in
instructed delegates, Mr. Hearst hav-
ing little less than 200 and Judge
Parker about hundred more.
Many Dark Horses.
There are many dark horses in the
race, led probably by Mayor McClel-
Ian, Of New York, and Senator Cor
man, Of Maryland. The latter's
chances have wonderfully increased
in the last few days due to the negro
plank which the republicans put into
their national platform at Chicago.
Rumors come from all over the
country that there is much sentiment
favoring Mayor Mcclellan and in this
list of probable Mcclellan states
Iowa appears near the head. 1t is
not known who vouches for Iowa in
that respect though Judge Wade was
known to be somewhat of an admirer
Of Mcclellan. There is also a move
ment which looks as though the
Hearst mon may be preparing to form
a combination with Tammany, by
whom Mcclellan is backed, to beat
Judge Parker. Hearst will probably
do everything he can to keep Parker
from receiving the nomination. He
has said that he will not bolt the St.
Louis convention but will support the
candidate and yet his newspapers
have said so much about Judge Park
er that was uncomplimentary to say
the least that it would be practically
impossible for them to flop and sup
port him should he happen to receive
the nomination.
Parker's Chances Are Slim.
Judge Parker's chances for being
the democratic candidate to face
Roosevelt never looked more unprom-
Using than they do right in the face of
the convention. In fact the condition
of affairs in the national democratic
party looks very ominous. Wise ones
are predicting that the party will get
into such a scramble at st. Louis
that it will go all to pieces again as
it did the year Bryan was nominated.
In fact it is freely predicted in many
quarters that an attempt will be made
to stampede the convention for one
practically unknown man as it was
done by Bryan.
Democratic Outlook Dark.
To make a unanimous nomination
satisfactory to all factions it is de-
clared that man will have to he
