ing considerable vogue.
These eXquisitely cOlOred feathers
in suede and seal are, of course, re-
served for wear with calling and re-
ception gowns. For the same pur-
pose there come handsome bead
purses OF all sorts and descriptions,
and charming silk bags covered with
real lace. In fact. the woman who has
bit of Ouch ess or other handsome
lace can make use of it in no better
way. The lace is laid over a pale-coI-
ored silk to form rounding oblong
bag and is then mounted on a gilt
clasp frame with gilt chain. For an
elderly woman, bag to hang at the
side is built in similar fashion
Vanity cases in combination with
change purses appear in two new
styles. One consists Of a fat piece of
flexible leather having compartments
for letters, stamps etc. as well as for
puff. mirror and vinaigrette. The other
case has the appearance of a small
leather book held by long thin ham
dies. When opened, it reveals a most
compact arrangement of charge purse
and prinking tools.
Most fetching among the little peck
etbooks is a long strip of colored
leather for bills and holding a tiny
clasp purse for change. The leather
folds into a square and fastens with a
pearl button clasp. or a monogram or
insignia under a button of glass Tiny
bead purses that sell for S1.25 are also

TROT FAIR GROUNDS
JIM UnderWood and Aaron McGregoF
Matched for Tomorrow.

One of the late events of the season
is a big trotting race Vt the state fair
grounds tomorrow. Tuesday, October
II, when Monte Campbell's old blind
horse, Jim Underwood, viii trot against
Sherman Brothers Aaron McGregor, a
horse from the famous McGregor
stock.
While the races We're on at Bur-
lingame last week, the Sherman
brothers. who reside just south of the
state fair grounds at Topeka, decided
that their horse could beat old Jim
Underwood When they mentioned
their convictions Monte Campbell who
ohanced to be ? present, asserted that
the Sherman brothers We're mistaken,
and a challenge followed.
Jim Underwood, the blind wonder
of Kansas. was slated to trot an ex-
hibition mile at the Burlingame fair,
but the tracks were not right, and the
horse did not show what he could do.
If the track is too bad tomorrow, on
account of rain, the race may be de-
ferred for a few days, but two carloads
of people are coming down from Bur
lingame to see it, and the race VIII be
pulled off unless the Sherman Brothers
back out. They are not expected to do
this, as a $500 purse is up on the
races.
Jim Underwood has been the cham
pion trotterr of Topeka for 1ong
time, and his total blindness does not
seem to interfere with a miraculous
speed. He has been used, during the
last few years, as an exhibition horse,
doing miles against nothing but time
and a running horse to set the pace.

Attorney General Coleman went
back to Washington to try to get the
supreme court to hear the case SO that
it might be decided prior to the time
for using water next spring. He did
not want Kansas farmers along the
Arkansas valley shut off from another
seasons use of the water. He argued
that the abstract of the testimony
would be completed within a very few
days, and that as the case has already
been voluminousIy briefed, it would
not be necessary to devote much time
to that part of the work.
But the supreme court seems to have
taken another view of the case. They
advanced the hearing somewhat, but
not as much as Kansas wanted.
According to the present arrange
ment it viii be a year until the case
is argued This will come within
General CoIeman's term of Office. and
it is understood that this is one of the
things which ne desired.

FALLFANCIEs.
Large Handbag Is Quite as Much in
Evidence as Ever.


To name one style of purse which is
q favorite this Fall would be an i'm
possibility The feminine world has
gone daft on the subject of unique
hand bags and vanity cases, ana each
woman strives to have the one she
carries just a shade different from, that
or her nelghDOr. Behold as q cOnSe-
Quence an endless array of mOneybags,
no two alike and each one suited in its
own peculiar way to the needs and fan
cies of WOmankind.
Occasional rumOr whispers that the
small purse is surely coming back to
fashion and that huge carryalls are
quite out Of date This. however, is
the opinion of only one woman. The
other n1nety-nine keep right on buying
the large bag, the small bag, the purse
with the fiat handle and the purse with
the long handle. and if any of them
are blessed with sufficient of this
worlds wealth, it is a pouch of hand
some metal, beadwOrk or lace dangling
from a glittering chain around wrist or
neck.
C1umsiness. q characteristic of the
big bag of previous years. has entirely
disappeared from the large receptacles
carried this fall In fact. so marked is
this change that the bags which were
in the tip of fashion a year ago, now
look decidedly old-fashioned
The taii0r-made girl who last year
sported a huge square OF leather with
wide rounding bottom, swings over her
arm this Fall an equally large recep-
table, but it is of extremely flexible
leather and tapers considerably as it
approaches the top. Double. rounding
handles are the slenderest ropes Of
leather, and the bag can be pressed as
fat as a pancake. All coIOrs. from the
most stunning tans and reds to very
smart puppies and greens, appear in
these large bags and a brass monogram
usually ornaments one corner or the
middle OF one side. a few Of these car
ryalls have brass keys that fasten them
ait the top. One fascinating oId-rose
bag with all the fittings of d vanity
case showed q wide leather flap that
passed over the clasp and buttoned fiat

an oblOng or square receptacle with
narrow strap over the opening regu-
1ated by two snaps according to the
fullness of the purse. fat handle is
attached close to one side or from end
to end across the top. Both inside and
outside of the strap are deep, fat pock-
cts for holding memoranda, etc. These
come either in black patent leather or
in leather exactly the color of the gown
worn To carry with more elaborate
costumes, this style Of purse is bound
in colored velvet with velvet straps.
The tapering shape Of the very large
bag Is also seen in the new purses of
medium size. Chased silver bands
adorn the openings Of these, and many
are studded with the daintiest imita-

Mr.. Patten had the distinction of
being the man under whose manage
ment and direction the first complete
electric city railway system in the
world was built and operated. 1t was
the old Topeka electric line Mr., Pat
ten came here from Boston in 1888.
At -ti1at. time the city had two street
railways a horse car line and a steam
line. Mr. Patten was made general
manager of the steam line, and imme-
diately set to work to convert it into an
electric line. At that date electricity
was almost an unknown power for
street railways. But he had faith in
its efficiency and about a year after
he had taken charge the steam line
had been converted into an electric
line entirely, and was the first electric
line to have ever been fully equipped.
The next one was built at Atlanta, Ca.
In later years the horse car line was
taken in by the new electric line and
also equipped with electricity under
Nj. Patterns supervision.
Mr., Patten was a street railway man
all his ice He was born at New
burypert, Mass, March g. 1871. In 1861
he entered the service OF the Middle
sex Street railroad as a conductor. His
perseverance and hard work soon lift
ed him from the ranks. When the
company was absorbed by the Boston
Consolidated Street Railway company,
he went into the new company's or
ganization and then again changed
with the company when it was bought
up by the West End system. He re-
