NEW SPELLING ADOPTED
President Orders II For White
House Documents.
Spelling Reformers Rejoice and Ex-
pect the Cause win Now
Make Rapid Progress.

Oyster Bay, L. I. President Roosc-
welt has Endorsed the Carnegie spell
ing reform movement. He issued or
ders to Public Printer Stiuings that
hereafter all messages from the
President and all other documents
from the White House shall be
printed in accordance with the rec
ommendation of the Spelling Reform
Committee headed by Brander Mat
thews, Professor Of English in Co.
lumbia University
This committee has published a
list Of 800 words in which the SPELL
ing is reformed. This list contains
such words as thru and tho" as
the spelling for through and
though. The President'c official
sanction of this reform movement is
regarded as the most effective and
speediest method Of inaugurating the
new system of spelling throughout
the country.
Not only will the printed docu-
ments emanating from the President
utilize the reform spelling, but his
correspondence also will be spelled in
Tue new style Secretary Loeb has
sent for the list Of words which have
been reformed, and upon it's arrival
will order all correspondent of the
President and of the executive force
Of the White House spelled in ac-
cordance Herewith. AS the Spelling
Reform Committee shall adopt new
reforms they will be added to the
Presidents list and also to that Of
the Public Printer
While the order to the Public
Printer does not contemplate an inn
mediate reform in the spelling of Off
cial documents from TIA executive
departments in Washington, it is re-
garded as more than likely that the
respective heads of the departments
will fall in line with the Presidents
ideas and have their official docu-
ments printed in the new spelling.

BUSINESS Beyond ALL BELIEF
Industrial Concerns CIamor For
Machinery and Materials.
Noihing in History of RniIroading to
Compare With Present Trans
portation Demands.

Chicago, Ill.-There is no way OF
measuring the volume Of business
now coming to the Western rail-
roads Traffic officials say that prece-
dent does not offer a parallel condi-
ton with which to compare the pres-
emit situation The roads are prac-,
tically swamped with tonnage, and
some officials state that luIl in the
movement of freight would be well
coined
General business in all directions
continues to expand as result Of
the bountiful crops. The corn crop
promises to be a bumper one, and
farmers are practically assured of
enormous returns for their grain.
Enough is known to create a belief
that the country will not realize the
extent of its prosperity for many
months. Railroad people are empha-
sizing their optimism with rather
sensational orders for cars, rails and
structural material.
Industrial concerns, great and
small, are clamoring for machinery
and material with which to carry
out their plans Of expansion, and
manufacturers are pleading for ship
ping facilities with which to market
their products.
The production of pig iron has
increased and is at the rate of U.s.
100000 tons year, but stocks are
low at the furnaces and consumption
is heavy. Northern furnaces have
sold their outputs for this year and
made liberal sales for delivery in the
first quarter of 1907 The steel mills
have in most instance sold their prod
uct for this year, and most of them
are well sold up for the first quarter
of next year The movement Of lum-
Der has grown considerably larger.
and local and contiguous consump-
ton is large
Low prices for Western bituminous
coal have reduced production in Till
nois and Indiana, but the demand is
improving and the trade has health
Ter look. Cheap excursion rates from
the Southwest and far West brought
in large number of buyers to the
large distributing centres. A salts
factory volume of business has re-
suited.
Traffic officials say that it will be
easier to get money to move the
crops with than to secure cars and
engines with which to haul the grain
to market. They are predicting also
a year Of large earnings, and with
the farmer prosperous, indications
are all in favor of a good general
business. The dry goods trade has
felt the effects OF the improved con
ditions probably more than any other
line.

GENERAL BANDERA KILLED.
Cuban Rebel Leader Hacked With
Machctes and R.ddled with Lead.

Havana, Cuba.-The body of the
negro, General Quentin Bandera, the
most daring insurgent in Havana
Province, was sent to the morgue at,
Havana with those of two mulatto
comrades, all frightfully gashed
The arrival Of Bandera's body here
was the first news of the fight in
which he met his death. The con-
fiict occurred at the Silveira farm,
near Punta Bravo, fifteen miles from
Havana. A detachment of thirty
eight mounted Rural Guards, under
Captain Ignacio Delgado and Lieu
tenant Martinez, were searching for
Bandera's party when they were sud-
denly fired upon by Bandera's twenty
followers. The Guards rushed upon
the insurgents. but with the excep.
ton of their chief and his two lead
ing comrades they all succeeded in
getting away.
The bodies of Bandera and his
companions were placed in a wagon
and taken to Havana. Bandera' e
body showed that his principal wound
was a severe machete blow on the
head, which cut off his left ear and
made an ugly incision in his face.
He also had bullet wounds in his
arms and breast.
The condition of Banderas two
dead companions was even more
shocking. Their faces and heads
were terribly gashed by the heavy,
dull machetes of the Guards, and
they also had machete wounds in
their breasts and on their arms. The
clothes of all three men showed
every evidence of the hard life which
they had been leading while GLIDING
their pursuers.

Simple But Beautiful sunshades,

Most of the parasols carried in
Newport have been simple in style.
Few have had frills or ruffies. But
the sunshades are of beautiful tints
that match the costumes or contrast
with them. The handles make up for
the simplicity OF the tops, and some
are elaborate and costly. Several
seen recently had handles Of birdseye
maple. with cut glass ends Of various
shapes, some Of which resemble de-
canter shoppers. The head of frog
and that OF peacock were repro
duced on two handles seen recently.
Jewels formed the eyes. Only elderly
women carry the small carriage para
soils, for though they are convenient,
they are not at all pretty New

Nothing could be more charming
than the revival of the crisp little
bow of white cambria or tulle under
the chin. This is fresh, dainty
mode of neck dressing, and looks
particularly well with the spring
tailored suit. The ties. when OF cam
brio or lawn, are long enough to go
twice around The neck and tie. They
must, Of course, be Immediately
crisp and fresh, or their charm is
lost. The dainty, ethereal whisp Of
tulle, such as girls wore year or
more ago. has again been adopted
by those who find it becoming.

HAS No Use For Mail-order citizens

Addressing meeting of retail
merchants in Jefferson City few
days ago Governor Folk, of Missouri.
said: I'VE are proud OF our splendia
cities, and we want to increase i'm
wealth and population, and we also
want our country towns to grow.
We wish the city merchants to build
up. but we also desire the country
merchants to prosper. 1 do not be-
lieve in the mail-order citizen. If
place is good enough for a man to
live in and to make his money in,
it's good enough for him to spend
his money in. No merchant can
succeed without advertising in one
way or another. Patronize your own
town papers. build them up, and they.
win build the town up in increased
trade and greater opportunities. Do
not be afraid that business is going
to be hurt by the recent exposures Of
wrong-doing in the commercial
world"
