Land Sales.

lands to Minnesota farmers, and to
settlers from other states. A sale at

Duluth, $500 acres.
Carlton, 12, 500 acres

Brainerd, 4,500 acres.
Land has bee purchased by settlers
from many outside states, including
Texas, New York, Nebraska, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Missouri. The av-

back and front This suggestion may
prove welcome just now, when an eff
fort is made for the low neck even on
street blouse. Chemisettes and cuffs
may be made of fine kerchiefs, and
many a lace treasure is to-day turned
from it's former use to help out in
trimming. Sometimes the kerchief
need not be cut, may be cunningly dis
posed without this sacrifice. Shadow
embroidery is effective on sheer ma
terial, and as I understand is not very
difficult to make. Crochet lace of
every kind has been restored to favor
with vengeance, and one sees beau-
tiful turnover collars and cuffs Of
Irish crochet.
We would not be interpreted as
meaning openwork embroidery is en-
tirely out, such by no means the case.
1t is extensively used for waists again
this summer and quite the thing for
coat sets. Heavy Danish cut-work,
or Hedebo (Hay-the- embroid-
cry, is very effective on outside door
wraps.

A White Season Promised

We were repeatedly assured the
coming summer was to be marked by
gay colors, and now the same empha-
sis is laid on the fact that white is to
rule.
The strictly tailored white linen
frock is style that has much in its
favor, and worn with the jaunty
sailor Of the day and embroidered
linen parasol will constitute as fresh
and charming summer frock as
could be imagined, much better than
so much fussiress. The coats as a rule
are short, long ones in wash materials
a mistake; the pony Jacket is newer.
but the eton holds its own. Tailors
favor strictly tailored white linen
shirt waist, but frivolous woman goes
in for the frivolousness of the lingerie
blouse.
In contrast to the tailored linen

creamy skinned, cheeks pink-flushed;
and in memory of what the ladies of
the empire period were reputed, the
milliner to-day offers as accompani-
ment of the revived fashions hats in
the most delicate shades, lovely pinks
and impossible blues. And the only
comfort held out to poor creatures
lacking pink and white complexion,
is go and get one. We are told not
to try the drug store, either, but to
look to diet carefully, and assured in
time the better complexion will re-
ward. In the meanwhile empire styles
may vanish and empire millinery.
But there are some fetching and be-
coming all-black hats to be had, made
of frilled lace, or finest chip, or soft
est horsehair; and a fluffy black hat
almost anyone can wear. The burnt
straws are charitable, too, to an un-
certain coloring, and are the height of
fashion. The very fashionable old
rose is more trying, to be chosen by
the few rather than the many. A light
colored chip trimmed with ones most
favorable color would be modish and
attractive. Without doubt there is
generous variety to choose from this
season.
Some one says in regard to the
making of dress, when in doubt
choose the empire; which advice we
do not hold very good. Unless the
gown is made by an artist, an empire
is very apt to look like night gown
and the wearer to present a rather
draggled appearance, as though not
rugged out for public gaze.
Shantung silk, sometime since called
tussore, is with us even more than
last year. 1t will be very popular for
wraps, Light colored evening ones and
for palmer wear. Also it will be used
by the autoist, is a most suitable ma
terial for her; shakes off the dust
easily, comes in lovely colors, and is
of light weight. Shantung makes an
ideal summer day dress, especially in
the city where wash stuffs SO soon get
soiled and lose their freshness. For
the country wash stuffs are to rule.
and the simpler the morning frock
the better. One can get such pretty
materials for a few cents a yard, and
if at all clever with the needle make
them up TO, a song.

Hats and Other Fashion Matters

Generally a woman looks at her hat
squarely in front and at her behatted
self from that point of view, when real
ly that is the least important to
consider. Most of the people that are
to gaze upon your headgear will view
it from the side or back. To-day the
milliners seem to realize this fact, for
to-day most of the trimming is piled
in the back and curls up from the side.
One sees not few plumes coming
out from one side, falling over the
hair at the back and then mounting
on the other side. Yards and yards
of ribbon adorn the back bandeau, and
flowers are massed high in the rear.

by Associated i"ress
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 25.-R. A. Tut
tie, attorney fo' Adolph Weber, the
Auburn murderer, who will be hanged
Thursday unless the governor inter-
venes, will make a final appeal for a
thirty days extension of reprieve for
his client tomorrow on the ground,
first, that Weber is insane, and second,
that evidence has come to light show
ing that there is probable cause to sus-
pect that another person committed the
murder.
Attorney Tuttle has learned that
some tine before the murder of the
Weber family, Weber the elder had
employed a man to do some work; that
there was a dispute about remunera-
tion and that the man (whose name he
does not give) threatened to kill the
entire family.
1t is understood that both Mr.. Tut

They will spend the next few weeks

Considerable comment was caused by
the report that the Transcontinental

the matter of colonist transportation

The officers of the Southern Pacific

such step will be taken and say that

BAILEY DEFENDS
ACTS As LAWYER
DECLARES THAT he ACCEPTED
REPUTABLE SERVICE
Would Have. Abandoned the Law II
Public Service Had Been in
Conflict at Any
Time
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
DALLAS. Texas, Sept. 25.-A long
statement was made public tonight by
Senator Jos. w. Bailey in reply. to criti-
cisms of him and his record which have
been circulated during the past few
days.
Concerning his connection with the
railroads Mr.. Bailey says:
II accepted the employment and per-
formed exactly the same kind of serv-
ice that would have been expected of
any other reputable lawyer.
THE objection TO my employment as
the attorney of those properties must
proceed upon the theory that a man in
public office has not right to pursue any
private business, and such doctrine, If
applied to all men and all officers,
would reduce the public life of this
country to a point where only rich men
or rascals could afford to accept an
office.
IF I had found that my time and
strength would not permit me to serve
as a senator and practice law at the
same time l would have abandoned
the law without the slightest hesitation,
because l have always believed and
acted upon the belief that the public
service holds the highest claim upon
every man who undertakes it,"
The statement defends the senator's
conduct as attorney for j. H. Kirby,
and the Kirby Lumber company and
proves his assertion that when the
Waters Pierce Oil company was grant
ed a permit to transact it's business in
Texas, it was an Independent concern, -
by citing a letter from G. H. Pierce
to the effect that the enterprise had
no connection with the STANDARD Oil
company.

ATLANTA, Sept. 25.-The unknown
dead who have met death in connection
night number one white man-County
Policeman James Heard-and eighteen
negroes.
To this number might be added the
name of Mrs. Robert p. Thompson, an
estimable white woman, who dropped
dead Monday evening after seeing two
negroes shot and bea ten in front of
her home.
This. the third day of Atlantas war,
was passed without serious disturb
ance.
Rumors by the hundreds have been
brought to the attention of the au-
thorities, but not in a single instance
had any of the horrible tales been veri-
fed.
The newspapers here have united in
an agreement to print only established
facts, to issue no more extras or spe-
cials on the riot, and the agreement
is being lived up to.
Arrest 257 Negroes
Following the arrest of 257 negroes at
Brownsville and Clark university today
and the detention of about 100 of them
in the county Jail, the feeling prevailed
that at last peace has been restored by
a strong show of authority
Almost simultaneously two negroes
were killed in another and distant
part of the city by three policemen who
had been sent to stop them from shoot
ing.
The main event during the day was
the ordering into the city of four MEM
bers of the state militia from outside
points, Governor Terrell saying the or
der was given as matter of precau
tion rather than from any pressing
necessity, and the gathering of a -arge
of business and profess
Sional men to call for vigorous action
by the city executives regarding ne
gro resorts and saloons The resolu-
tions demanded that these places be
closed and kept closed perpetually.
The saloons have been closed all day
and will be until further notice.
There is an increasing scarcity of
negroes in factories, stores, in the post
office and telegraph offices. Hundreds
of Atlanta homes are without their reg
ular cooks and ice deliveries are con-
spicuous by their rarity.
Turbulence Past
Atlanta tonight shows little sign of
the turbulent scenes which have been
enacted during the past several days.
Good citizenship and cooler heads have
apparently obtained the mastery and
prominent men, both white and colored,
are lending every energy toward bring
ing tie city back to its normal condi-
ton. which tonight is almost an ac-
comp shed task. The city and suburbs
are ouiet. no reports having been re-
ceiVed of violence today from any quar-
ter.
Il law and order mass meeting was
hcld this evening, attended by repre-
people of both races. A fund
Of $1,000 was raised for the benefit of
the ctms of mob violence, and a
committee appointed to push the relief
work to generous completion.
