MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
s.ock Yard, LeeI.Iation.

A new stock yards bill is to be in
troduced in the state legislatures OF
Missouri and Kansas. Committees rep
resenting the legislative bodies met at
the stock exchange IN Kansas City.
Mo-. and, following an investigation,
there was an executive session tnat
lasted three hours, at which the Mis-
souri, and Kansas committees reached
an understanding and practically con-
structed a bill which will be usei by
both legislatures.
The Kansas law, as 1t now stands, fixes
yardage charge for cattle at the Kan
Sas City yards of 10 cents per head. On
the Missouri side there is a cattle charge
of rs cents per head for yardage. The
bill agreed upon fixes uniform charge
of 20 cents per head. officials of the stock
yards company stated to the senator's and
representatives that the stock yard COM
a head for cattle yardage and make
money. The Kansas law permits the
stock yards company to make proht
of 100 per cent. on its sales of hay and
corn. The new bill provides that in no
event shall the company's profit on hay
be more than 30 cents per hundred and
on corn 25 cents per bushel. The new
bill provides for yardage charge Of
cents on sheep, whereas the Kansas law
prescribes a charge of cents. Calves
will be yarded at the rate of 10 cents per
head. the rate now on the Missouri side;
The Kansas law prescribes rate or
cents per head.
There was long discussion regarding
the penalty for offense against the pro-
posed new law. Some Of the legislators
thought that there ought to be pro-
vision for imprisonment. A majority,
however, We're strongly of the opinion
that it is a hard proposition to put q.
corporation in jail, so it was m nhaily any
shall not be more than $1OO, and for sub
saquent offenses not less than $oOO nof
more than $1,000.

American women, and 1t is a most com forfable. luxuriously warm garment It is made of softest Scotch woolen and iys cape is of graceful pattern. For one that expects long days out-of-doors. the In- verness coat is just the thing. It comes pretty high. however.
 Other coats are made Of the Scotch woolens. and this material is one that stands all sorts of weather. It is usual ly made up into distinctly serviceable wraps. meant for utility and not show. Half loose designs are favored. and big sleeves and pockets. It makes hne steamer wrap. Trimmings of leather are very appropriate: an attractive gar mert which was brought to our notice was a mixed brown and green Scotch wool trimmed with leather the tone of the brown in the cloth.
 The question is asked if golf capes have quite gone out. and we would an- swer that few people still cling to them for steamer wear They. too. cost a pretty penny if one chooses good ma terial-and poor cloth will stand no exposure to wind and wave and sun.
 Three-quarter coats. straight front and loosely belted in the back. are liked for steamer wear One excellent model was made of dark blue ornament ed with large gold buttons. But while the coat and jacket are more popular. there is tendency to bring the cape again into favor. the year will show an increasing number of cape-like wraps.

Jacques
THE AMERICAN GIRL" {"

It is story of thoroughly independ- ent and resourceful American spirit that is offered at the Jacques this week, "The American Girl" tells. and for that reason should prove most ac- ceptable to the patrons of the house. The eldest son of an English nobleman has welded in secret an American girl named Queena and lives happily with her for six months. Then the news that his father is dangerously i'll takes him across the ocean to receive the title of Lord Huntington. The parting between husband and wife Is affecting. as they separate to meet again only after many years. Queena, apparently deserted by her husband. goes on the stage to support her child and makes a tremendous hit with her magnificent voice. While singing in Paris she is invited to the American ambassadors to entertain the guests. and there meets her husband. who is now totally blind. She is asked 10 the Huntington. home in England to wit ness the marriage of her husband to his cousin. and only at the last mo- ment reveals her identity to the man who has believed her dead Every thing ends beautifully. as 1t should. Prices are 1o, a0 and 30 cents: after moons 10 and 2O cents. ladies 10.

THE NEW
 SERVANT
By c. B. BURoIh.

ssI BEG your pardon?"
 70, don't apologize" said Cyn. thia, blandly. T suppose that ,our husband wrote the advertisement for a servant He's curate, is he not?"
 "Ye-es," faltered Mrs. Patterne.
 That accounts for it. Who could possibly be grammatical on the income of curate? It would be unkind to expect it."
 Mrs. Patterne was only humane.
 "One does not expect, servant in search of place to correct ones hus- bands grammar" she said, icily. "Of course, if you put it in that i'm personal way, one does not It is rather like Ollendorff, One has told me you wish to purchase the bad bonnet of the good aunt And all that kind of thing. Still, even curate must have his boots blacked if he wishes to shine-at either end She smiled and displayed dazzling teeth.
 Don't you think you would be rath- CT trying as a maid-of-all-work? sug- gested timid little Mrs. Patterne
 My dear woman said Cynthia, composedly, q couldn't possibly be worse than the average servant. You had much better employ me. The only stipulation I make is that I am to have couple of hours to myself every evening for literary work"
 'tYou-you won't want to come into the drawing-room? faltered Mrs. Pat

There are some waist-ifns sweaters offered of rather fancy sort. One has bishop sleeves finished with narrow, tight cuff of contrasting wool, and square neck with a very high collar is also of the contrasting wool Then the bolero has even invaded this field, we are shown the bolero sweater with half sleeve and open in front. It seems to us not par tioularly sensible garment.
 The surplice sweater is graceful and we also have one that buttons down the front. is plain. but distinguished by a very broad belt, which looks like a baby's knitted band. The first is much the better. Collars liked are gray and red. and red alone is popular. There are nice white ones with color in the trim mings. but they are too fine for the real outing girl, whose clothes are meant for utility rather than display.
 Leather belts and tailored stocks are best for occasions informal enough for the sweater to be called into acquisition. Leather to-day comes in such pretty tones. and sweaters likewise Green and copper are very effective. and blending of colors is often seen in tho knitted wraps
 Hats are simply trimmed felts of easy, comfortable appearance. like the, rest of the costume, suggestive of ability to stand wear and tear. Skirts are at least three inches from the ground, and some autumn athletes go in for even brief- ST pettiooats. By now one has got used to the informality of summer costume, ready to exaggerate its com- forts . bit
 But the summer has been marked by the vogue of the halted. rather than the hatless girl, the outing hat is an important part of the costume. The sailor wound about with a scarf is liked. and Tam o'Shanter effect is in favor.
 White serge and white mohair will be worn very late in the fall, two Of the popular summer styles. The serge is made up in strictly tailor fashion. the mohair may be a bit dressier. With bolero or Eton, the white mohair is varyl dainty: the jacket short enough to dis close the fancy lingerie waist, and itself often trimmed with double or triple frills of lace. A white summer tt has been, and the Indian summer will also continue the vogue of white.

Some Good Travelling Wraps

A long coat that quite covers the gown is very useful garment to have in the wardrobe, but not very well adapted to pedestrian occasions-is too heavy and cumbersome. For carriage and motor wear, and for journeys by train. it is . most serviceable and proper garment.
 The new ones of the autumn are rather narrow across the shoulders but the full gathered sleeves make up for this change. A yoke breaks the length from neck 10 waist. and the collar is new addition to the late 1905 wrap Large
