Beavers of the silkiest and furriest
description are the smart hats of the
season. They are especially effective
in brown, olive green and the dull cop
per reds. They are trimmed with vel
vet of two tones and velvet leaves and
fruit The tiny turban has envelope
sides tapping well over the crown, and
it is trimmed with an aigret or single
ostrich plume falling on the hair at the
back. Bird of paradise plumes in ev-
cry tint, but principally in orange, are
quite the smartest hat decoration. The
sketch shows, first of all, d brown
beaver hat threaded through with or
ange velvet and trimmed on the side
with green leaves and orange fruit.
The neat little toque with the plated
brim is of red velvet trimmed with a
bird of paradise plume, also in red.
The other two hats are of green velvet
and black velvet respectively. The
green one is turned up on one side and
trimmed under the brim with shaded
pink roses. The black toque has fol-
trimming a single long, white ostrich
feather which falls directly over the
hair in the back a.a
Most of the hats seem to require the
low style of hairdressing.

seen it in red. If you have lace dyed to
order choose a heavy linen lace well
filed in. The lace must be linen, or it
will assume a woolly appearance when
dyed and will lose it's stiffness. Such
a waist made of heavy lace should be
perfectly plain, with perhaps a few
tucks on the shoulders to give a trif1e
of fuHness. Sometimes the pattern is
picked out here and there with crepe

tint or velvet ones somewhat darker.
Purple will not be worn nearly so
much, and if you have a suit of this

winter. We have all grown a trife

The sound Of tom toms and the wild
yelping of the braves can be heard
through the stiffness OF the forest
for miles, and society bellies aud the
smart set from adjacent towns are
coming to the Hump in automobiles
and In tallyhos and on horseback,
making a holiday event of the In
dian pow WOW So far no one has
accepted the invitations of the red
braves and the squaws to dine with
them, although the mayor of Butte
and all of the public officials have
been urged to join In the big barDa-
cue of whole roast COW which they
enjoy every evening.
Most of the braves enter the dance
naked save for a breechclout and a
few strings of feathers and beads.
Their bodies are painted red-brown,
sometimes green, and often they are
striped like tigers. They dance In
procession, yelping more like n
band of coyotes or bowling dogs
than anything else one can imagine.
The monotony of the dance Is exas-
| perating to any one but the Indian
himself The squaws drone, the
tom toms beat and the braves yelp
until the din becomes unbearable.
This dance goes on for hours, the
braves jumping higher and higher
and the exertion becoming more ex-
| hausting each minute. One after
another the Indians become exhaust
ed and the weaker ones drop out
Then the leaders show their strength
and great endurance with great os-
| tentation. They have perhaps been
| dancing for two or three hours and
are fearfully exhausted and thirsty,
| but as the dance is narrowed down,
now to three or perhaps two, the
last man on his feet Is the greatest
| brave and commands the admlia-
| tion of his audience
Sometimes the dancers, unwilling
to quit, yet unable to continue, faint
away and have to be revived by
| having cold water dashed In thoir
faces. Rocky Boy and Moon were
| the last two left at midnight in the
second dance of the pow WOW Moon
| led the dance through the camp iirc,
! walking through the live Goals IN
| his bare feet, the embers sticking to
! his flesh Rocky Boy judiciou6ly
side stepped the Goals, but he was
pointed out and laughed at by the
onlookers until he quit the dance in
disgust, leaving all the honors TO
Moon. II is said that Running
Horse will give the old time tree
dance, where bough is tied with
thongs to pieces of skin which are
cut in the breasts of the dancer. The
bough pulls upward inllicting UNI
bearable pain to the brave, but mis-
feet are lighter for the pulling aad
he executes a more fantastic dance
| than his fellows.
1t is said that the dance will be
the last pow WOW and sun dance
of any magnitude that Montana will
ever see, as the Indians are fast
passing away, many OF them dying
of consumption Running Horse OK
presses the fear that he will never
see another such dance, and the med
icine men say 1t marks the passing
of the children of the forest from
the face of the earth.
1t is thought between 1000 enc
1 200 Indians will be assembled be
fore the dance is over.

INFANT DIED
FROM NEGLECT

SEATTLE, July Coroner Hoye
has decided that the infant child OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Gershanovitz,
of 1927 Jackson street, died from
incompetent and improper treatment.
Fhe child was born yesterday morn
ing and cared for by Mrs. F. G. Pc
terson, a midwife, who lives at SIG
Twenty-first avenue. She stated to
Deputy Coroner Wiltsie that the
child was dead when born, but an
autopsy held last night revealed the
fact that the child had lived and
breathed.
THE child lived" said Coroner
Hoye, afte rthe autopsy. "Air was
found in the lungs and there is every
other indication that the child lived
and bleathed. l believe that Mrs
Peterson should be prosecuted for
granddaughter, or at least for prac-
ticing medicine with out license, il
the other charge cannot be substan-
tiated."

DIRECTORY SHOWS
GROWTH OF TACOMA

The directory for Tacoma for
1904, compiled by the r. l.. Polk
company, has gone to the bindeFy,
and Manager Hutchinson says it will
be out within another week. The
directory contains a total of 26,962
names, showing gain of 1905 over
1903
The city's total population, accor-
ding to Mr. Hutchinson's estimate,
is 67,405, an increase of 4,763 per-
sons during the past year. The to-
tai population is determined by null
tiplying the directory list by 2 10,
basis used in a majority of cities.
Besides the list of 26,962 names
of persons contained in the directory
are the names of building firms and
corporations, numbering several
thousands.

WHERE THE
MONEY GOES

City Controller Jackson today is
sued his report showing the condi-
ton of the city's finances and the
operations of the various funds for
the month of June. The amount in
the city treasury was larger at the
end of the month than at the begin
ming, as the following figures show:
Balance May 81, $237, 091.73; re-
ceipts during the month, $130,173,-
10; disbursements for the month,
$1O7,113.69; balance June so,
$260,151.74.
The amounts in the principal
funds at the end of the month were
as follows: Water and light, $685.
143 sc; salary, $19,925.5S; general
expense, $1S,204.96; interest, $115,-

TO the bottom Unexpectedly his lungs
filled with water. This, the doctor
thinks, accounts for the fact that he
did not come to the surface three
times, as is usually the case with
a drowning person.
A rope is stretched from the point
at which Terry jumped into the wa
ter to pole some distance away.
and this has led scores of people to
believe that the water is only wad-
ing-depth, while as a matter of fact
it is nearly Is feet deep. No less
than four men have been drowned at
this point, and Dr. Scovel believes
the deceiving appearance of the
place and the fact that no danger
signs are put up have been mainly
responsible for the deaths.

the encampment at American lake.
They claim to have the winners in
their company in the persons of
Sergeant Cooper and Quartermaster
Sergeant Fritz, and, judging from
the scores made in the practice
shoots, they will not be disappointed.
Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Fritz are daily
spending several hours on the range
near South Tacoma. They have be-
come very proficient and are daily
improving. The results of the prac-
tice shoots have caused the infantry
boys to look upon their representa-
tiyes as prize winners
The contest will be the big event
of the encampment and will be hOtly
contested Two of the best marllsmen
from each company at the camp will
be entitled to enter.

TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN
INTERURBAN AND TACOMA EASTERN

The relation of the Puget Sound
Electric railway and the Tacoma
Eastern is the latest mystery in the
railroad game. Recently plans were
under consideration for connecting
the two lines at their terminals here
in order to handle freight between
the point on the Tacoma Eastern
and Seattle. Just how far these
plans have gone cannot be learned
but three weeks ago the project was
seriously considered.
The project would not be difficult
and it would be most pleasing to

connecting the lines would involve
the construction of only few
miles of track in the form of a
"Y.' But lutte grading would be re-

The question is, HAS this move
any connection with the plans of the
Milwaukee road?" There is consid
cradle speculation on this point, es-
pecially as it is not clear who owns
the Interurban. Stone & Webster
are merely the promoters and the
cash for building the road camc
from other sources.
