instance, the deep, coarse
lace f1ounces joined, by delightful tuck
ings or queer trimmings, to founda-
ton of pastel or ivory white cloth, and
the wonderful blouse-like bodice with
horizontal lines of crochet pouching over
a beautiful, swathed kid band, and
dainty yoke of embroidered lawn, with
the long-ftting shoulder and frills of
pleated muslin down the front of the
bodice, with some quaint jewelled but
tons, go to make up an apparently sim
pie and very charming race frock.
Sleeves are in themselves a very COM
pick study. In the tailor made costumes
they are, of course, long, but in the smart
tOilettes from Paris | notice that the
sleeves come only just below the elbow,
being worn with long gloves. These ell
bow sleeves and gloves, therefore, are
a feature of the season frocks and gar
den party gowns in muslin and ethereal
fabrics.
The tailor-made and the reception
frock are distinct creations. Indeed, at
the moment they represent entirely diff
ferent periods of fashion. The afternoon
gown of taffeta or muslin is as elaborate
as the smart tailor-made is severe. The
latter shows practical neat skirt,
braided bolero, and dainty vest, while
the toilette de reception consists of gaug-
ings, pleatings, insertions, frills and ev-
cry possible form of trimming, the ap-
parently simple effects being arrived at
by the great amount Of hand-work which
appears on everything that is worthy Of

Ed McGehee, candidate for assessor:
w. J. Nix, candidate for sheriff; Har-
ry E. Webber, candidate for clerk of
the court and p. C. Schoelkopf, candi-

attendance at the dance given by the

They report very pleasant time.
c. F. Nesler, special Indian agent
from Washington, d. c., came in from
Lame Deer Sunday: Mr.. Nesler had
been persuing an investigation at the
Cheyenne agency in response to re-
quests from ranchmen surrounding the
reservation. They hope for an adj
justment of !, complaints in the near
future.
Judge Frank Henry of Livingston,
came down Monday for the purpose OF
hearing the case Of the State OF Mon
tana VS.. Markham, brought to restrain
persons residing on the reservation
from registering and voting In the so
called Grow Agency precinct. While,
in the opinion of the judge, the pre-
cinct was illegal, the court could no.
suppose that they wonld or would not
vote, SO the case was dismissed. But
as the entire vote, according to law,
will be thrown out after election, those
persons voting at Grow Agency will be
spending their energies in a useless
endeavor by voting.

IT WORKS ALL RIGHT.

AS to the success of the Oregon
amendment in that state, this is what
the Portland Oregonian said after one
session of the legislature under that
amendment:
"Ihe result may be accepted every
where as it is in Oregon, as a fresh
testimonial to the wisdom and safety
Of popular government. The referen-
dunn stands accordingly as a safe
guard in the peoples hands against
pernicious acts of an unworthy legis-
lature and a connivirg governor. Any
hope of using it as an instrument OF
improper purposes must be in6nitesi.
NAL, after the late severe test in which
powerful interests conspicuously failed
in their attempt to invoke the plebiscite
by widely circulated and strenuously
urged petitions.
1.-THE amendment is the stronger for
its trial; and while it is likely to re-
main dead letter except in its opera
ton as potential check on legislative
misconduct, it may yet have a day of
abundant triumph in actual employ
ment to defeat a pernicious law"
That is the opinion of the greatest
newspaper in Oregon, edited by one of
the greatest newspaper men in the
northwest. This year the voters of
Oregon used the initiative to enact
direct primary nomination law. Per-
haps that is what the corporations
fear-that the peopleof Montana would
use the initiative to act independently
of the legislature and enact such need
ed legislation as direct primary
nomination law and to create a rail-
road commission.
The Oregon corporations tried to get
the voters to sign petitions under the
initiative and referendum amendment
to hold up some good laws passed by
the legislature, and the voters would
not sign the petitions.
The one session Of the Oregon legis-
lature that has been held since the in
itiative and referendum amendment
was adopted was free from scandal
and charges of bribery. Mouldn't you
like to see such a session Of the, Mon
tana legislature? s,sres4. 49,,

ADVERSE TO CLAIMANT.
Justice Of Peace Decides Mr.. Chapman
Must Pay License.

The suit brought February by J. Edward
Chapman against the District of Columbia,
to recover $25 paid for a license which he
was forced to take out as a contractor in
addition to his regular retail license, was
decided last Friday in favor of the District
by H. Randall Webb. Justice of the peace.
Mr.. Chapman was called upon last Sep
tember to take out license, as contractor
in consequence of his having made contracts
with the District and the general govern
ment to furnish coal, and upon refusing to
do so was arrested ard brought into the
Police Court. He then paid the special tax
to avoid fine or imprisonment and later
brought suit before Magistrate Webb to
have the money refunded. He held that he
was not such contractor as the law in
tended should be assessed, since the coal
disposed of by him under contracts formed
only small percentage of his business.
Mr.. Webb's decision was adverse to Mr..
Chapman's contention. He states that the
law Is very clear, and requires the payment
Of license by building or other con-
tractor" doing business in the District of
Columbia. Whether Mr. Chapmans contract
business is small or large makes no differ
.ence. The magistrate drew parallel be-
tween the present case and that of s.I.asley
agt. the District of Columbia In the lat
ter case Lasley, bicycle dealer, was re-
quired to take out license as dealer in
secondhand goods, because he also handled
a few secondhand bicycles Lasley said
that secondhand wheels formed but small
proportion of his sales, and he was not in
the business of handling secondhand goods
But the court decided against him. holding
that even though he sold only q few Incl
dentally, literal Interpretation Of the law
required him to pay the tax.
Magistrate Webb said that it might not
have been the intention of Congress to have
the law apply In such cases, yet the word
ing was such that 1t could be interpreted in
