WEEK OF FRUITLEss VOTING.
Further Schemes Hatched by Leaders Fail
to Break the Deadlock.


Springfield, ILL.,, May 10. - Yester-
days sessions of the Illinois Repub-
lfcan convention rounded out one week
of balloting for nominee for gov
ernor, and apparently an agreement
was no nearer than it was the first
day Of balloting.
How to End II Is the Problem.
Schemes to end the deadlock are
engaging the attention of the leaders
more and more as the time goes on
without an agreement. One plan pro-
posed is d recess until after the ma
tional convention in June but noagree-
ment has been reached. Another plan
is that the convention proceed with the
naming Of the ticket except governor,
and that the governorship be referred
to general Republican primary, to be
held on the same day all over the state.
Yates has not said whether he is for
or against the proposition, but his
manner indicates that he is not averse
to it.
Scheme OF Cook County Men.
Some of the Cook county delegates
have prepared a resolution providing
that the convention renominate all OF
the present incumbants in state offices
except the state treasurer, who is in
capable of succeeding himself, and
that the treasurer be nominated at
once. The resolution has not been
presented. 1t is argued that it would
get the support of Governor Yates,
Secretary of State Rose and Auditor
McCulloch, and also of Attorney Gen
eral HamIin, If he cares to succeed
himself.

Against Change OF Order

When the convention assembled
resolution was offered providing that
unless the convention makes
nomination for governor at the pres

be suspended and the convention pro-

ticket. The resolution was lost; yeas

For her hats she makes all sorts O.
bows. Her very newest adaptation O!
the bow to tho hat is something so orig
inal that am sure many other girls will
be glad to go and do likewise. She
doesn's use one bow. but many. She
makes six or seven little bows, and ar.
ranges them so that they surround the
crown at short intervals apart. Each bow
Is made with one outstanding loop high
enough to reach above the crown. This
loop is carefully stiffened with feather
bone. AT the base of the loop is a knot,
and from the knot are two ends, which
lie fiat on the brim. These bows'make a
smart-looking trimming for a shirt waist
or ssilor hat. Through the loops some
pretty soft ribbon is drawn, which is TIED

made in a full rosette. Take a hat OF
rough burnt orange straw, and use dark
brown ribbon velvet for the bows and
sreamy white or almond green satin mes

and you will have just the smartest ev.
