A New Trial for La Eair.

The supreme court has granted . new
trial to Wm. La Fair. who was found
guilty Of the murder OF Eben T. Massey.
at the last term of the district court in
Mesa county. The attorney general con
fessed to error In the instructions given
the jury by Judge Stevens. which saved
the defendant the expense OF having the
abstract OF the argument printed and
the regular prolonged trial 10 the higher
court which would have taken year or
more. 1t is very probable that the Sec
ond trial will take place at the March

with determination to be buried

had the satisfaction of selecting and
paying for one Of the most conspicu.

IMPORT HAIR eY rAe cAa LOAD.
Hundreds Of Tons Are Imported - ~
Made into Rata"

Maoe into "tAto.
Since the revival of the pompadour
style OF dressing womens hair and
the use OF the rat" there has been Z
tremendous increase in the importa-
ton of human hair. II is estimated
100 tons Of hair, valued at $4,000. 900.
have been received at this port this
year. This doesn't represent one half
the expense the style has entailed
upon women, for il has given a decid-
ed impetus to the hairdressing bush
ness. Three times as many New York
women now patronize hairdressers as
did few years ago. With women Of
now as a necessity.
In most Of the fashionable hair
dressing shops of Fifth avenue and Its
vicinity comparatively few women are
employed. Formerly women did all
the work. patrnes being reluctant to
have their hair dressed by men. but
the prejudice soon wore OF. and now
the well gfoomed women seem to
.hink that only the man hairlresscr
who has studied the business abroad
is artistic.
The hairdressers say this promises
to be great country for their busi-
ness. The women Of America have
less hair than the women of Europe.
The quality is about the same. but
there seems to be something In the
climate of the United States or In
the habits of the people that Is not
conducive to women's hair growing
as luxuriously as II does abroad.
Large as was the value of the hair
imported this year the value Of hns
toilet articles was far greater. About
IS per cent OF the amber and tortoise
shell goods. perfumes, powders and
cosmetics used in America arc
