FATS FOR THE COMING SEASON.

Fer the trimming of small shapes
the iarge bird is the feature. and this
seasen Il is developed in the most
beautiful colorings.
One of the most remarkable fea-
tlres Of these birds is that all of them
are manufactured SO that when mount
is sewed flat TO the crown or brim,
whichever it may he This strange
placing Of these birds is responsible
for their christening. and they are
known as the saint d'esprit.
Some of the most attractive mod
els are being brought out just at this
time, and show for their only decora-
ton these very large birds, says a
writer in the Milliner. Much of the
style in these models depends entirely
upon the manner in which the bird
is posed. One model in bright red
shows a beaver plaque draped, with
the bird caught on the under side of
The left brim. Another attractive mod.
ell in purple shows a bird in a lighter
shade cruhing in the left side brim,
with the beak of the bird resting
directly on the hair Still another
model in golden brown shows the
draping of pale blue velvet at the
right side. and a large pale blue bir.1
mounted fiat on the left side.
Some of the most stunning turbans
show for their only trimming breasts
and velvet ribbon This season
trings us the most perfect range of
eolors of all sorts. and the breasts
are equally attractive in red, laven-
der, pale blue. pink, all sorts of deli
cate greens, peacock, and many grades
of red and the all white breast.
The white-winged hat was so un-
usually becoming that manufacturers
are banking on a similar demand this
fall. One of the most attractive new
effects in wings is made up of the
hole feathers. Two large. soft wings
spring from a well-tufted owl head.
and give the effect of a breast more
han of the wing.

WHO LOST
RAW HIDE

Detective McDermott this morning
to sell a quantity of raw hide to a
second hand store on Main avenue.
Kelly has every appearance of the
professional hobo and could not give
satisfactory story as to where he
got the raw hide SO the detective
booked him at the station as a sus-
pect.
The raw hide secured from Kelly
is of different widths, and altogether
there is about 5000 feet. 1t is most
frequently used in repairing belts in
manufacturing O. mining plans. De-
tective McDermott thinks 1T may
have come from the Occur d Alenes.

TOPEKA. Kan. Feb 23.-It takes
Kansas to start things. In the air
that sweeps over the prairies there's
something that makes men indepen-
dent in thought and bold in action.
Conventionality can not hold them.
Seeing an eva. they apply a remedy
direct. Oppression isn't matter for
protest, but a challenge to battle; one
that is accepted promptly.
This spirit, born in the fight against
slavery, and exemplified on other oc-
casions, makes Kansas about the
hardest customer that the Standard
Oil company in all it's varied career
ever encountered.
They are saying, of course, that
this is a repetition of the wave of
populism that started in Kansas,
swept over the west and finally died
out.
May be so, but it seems more like
ly that it is great big fight which
the Standard will have to
Compromise or Lose.
There is every prospect that Kansa s
consumers are going to get refined
oil at a reasonable price and that
Kansas producers are going to be paid
a profitable price for crude oil.
Two laws passed by the legislature
seem to assure this result. One pro-
vides for a state refinery, to be oper-
ated by convicts, and having a ca
pacity sufficient to supply all the re-
fined oil used in the state. The other
provides a maximum rate which rail-
roads may charge for the transporta-
ton of oil. This rate will make II
possible to reduce the present price
of refined oil and to market crude
oil, as a fuel, at a profit to the pro-
ducers.
Under existing freight rates Kan.
sas oil can not be shipped from the
field to the cities for use as fuel
Just to clinch the matter, the legis-
1ature is at work on other measures
A law has been passed making the
Standard Oil company's pipe line g
common carrier. and fixing the carry.
ing price that may be charged This
law requires the company to trans.
port all the Oil offered to it by pro.
ducers.
A bill now under consideration pro
vides that oil must be sold at a uni
form price in all parts of the state
This is aimed to prevent the Stand
ard from adopting
Its Favorite Plan
of selling oil below cost, or giving II

continued until today, but they fail
ed to produce their client.
The case against Bell, who was
charged in a separate information
with having an interest in the
gambling game, was dismissed by the
court on a technicality.
Judge Warren held that the in
formation filed against Bell was de-
fective because it did not state the
specific interest Bell had in the game.
Prosecuting Attorney Barnhart and
assistants had worked up clear case
against Hammond and felt that a
conviction in his case was a GER

that Hammond had personal charge

The pipe line bill may prove in

or fall, the trust busters claim, is
immaterial. They declare that the

the business.
The refinery law will be attacked
in the courts on the ground that it

Labor for Convicts."

money is for construction of the plant
and half for a revolving fund, to be
used in carrying on the business. The
capacity Of the refinery will be 1000
barrels a day.
| Estimates of the amount Of re-
year vary from 100000 to 100000
barrels. In either event, the refin-

in, though, when he saw the uni
versal demand for it's passage.
Governor Hoch favored the estab-
lishment of an experimental plant, to
cost $4,000 to $4,000. He came
around to the 100000 proposition
when the pressure of popular senti-
ment became fully developed.
Some other members thought the
scheme was socialistic or impracti-
cable, but they fell into line with
the newspapers and populace in de-
handing the bill. They set aside
their own convictions and adopted the
ciews of their constituents. The fer
vor of one editor led him to declare:
God Almighty will punish the peo-
pie Of this country If they don't rise
up and do something to protect them
selves from the robber trusts and
combines"
The light in which many legislators
regard the law was reflected by the
statement of one member that Kan
sas has fired the first gun to free the
country from monopoly
Kansans are rather proud of the
attention that has been given their
exploit in other parts of the country.
They are especially pleased over the
prompt endorsement given by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in ordering a federal
investigation.
Other states and the federal move
ment have struggled for years to
solve the trust problem. They haven't
succeeded to any alarming extent.

Something had to be DONE" said
a legislator, in speaking of the prob

chance 100000 on this remedy. If it
works, we have accomplished a great
big thing. If the money is lost, the
state is rich enough to stand the
loss. To lose, though, is practically
out of the question. The refinery will
cost the people ABOUT OF ctlItS d ilCdh'
Since this bill was introduced, re-
fined oil has been reduced cents a
gallon. That alone would be enough
to reimburse the people, even if every
cent of the 100000 were lost"
The Standard is unlucky In the
composition of this legislature. 1t
is made up chiefly of men new to
politics. They entered into fight
with the old republican organization,
an arbitrary political machine, and
won. That caused them to be known
as the boss busters" Now they are
also the trust busters" There has
been no bribery, because they would
not take money. Lobbyists have had
money ready, but found they could
not buy votes. Then the plan was
tried of rushing in friends of the
legislators to influence them, but II
failed, and public sentiment tri-
umphed.
