MODES AND FABRICS
STYLES THAT ARE FOR THE MO.
MENT IN FAVOR.
Dinner Gown Cut on Princess Lines
Violet Velvet Waist in New Design
Smart Cloth oideries
Of Ribbon Popular.
Ribbon Embroideries.

Ribbon embroideries for dress gar
niture are an example of old things
masquerading In new uses. We have
long been familiar with this pretty
style OF work on all sorts of fancy
articles for milady's use, but in the
new ornamentati)n of dress acces-
sories these appear altogether differ
ent. Many an otherwise quite ordi-
nary gown owes it's air of distinction
to a little of this decoration on vest
and cuff. bodice or belt. Given the
materjals-and the right sort of rib
hon can now be had at almost any
embroidery or department store-the
work goes easily and quickly, and al
most any woman who can use a
needle at all can get satisfactory dec.
orative effects with these French EN-
broidery ribbons. Small floral pat.
terms are the prettiest, and one stitch
makes petal, while touches Of gold
thread and spangles or heads can be
introduced with the happiest results.
Done on lace In scattered sprays or
little wreaths the ribbon work is par
ticularly effective and, entire nous, is
a great stunt for refurbishing and
freshening gown that needs the
touch.

Curtis Bill Will Create a Healthy
Boom in Indian Territory
STATEHOOD OR NO STATEHOOD
A Million Dollars in Territory Now
Awaiting Bill to Become Law
Actual Farmers to Buy

Muskogee, /. TIT is generally
conceded here that the passage of the
Curtis bill in its present form will
mean the greatest influx of immigra-
ton into the Indian Territory that
has ever been experienced in her his
tory. The restoration of the house
provisions relative to the removal OF
restrictions means that every adult
citizen Of mixed blood of the five civ
ilized tribes will be authorized to sell
his surplus land, amounting to 100
acres, after July 1. AT that time hun
dreds of thousands of acres Of land,
which have heretofore been tied up
with restrictions, will be placed upon
the market and the land buyers will
release at least a million dollars in
this country within few days after
the restrictions are removed.
For the last month land buyers
and spectators have been preparing
for the removal of restrictions.
Scores of companies have been or
ganized in Indian Territory for the
handling of Indian lands and thou
sands of dollars are pouring in from
the states every day into the Golfers
of the land buyers who are preparing
to go out after all the farm land in
sight 1t is predicted that if the Cur
tis bill as now, passed becomes law
July will be the red letter day for
Indian Territory.
Between now and that date thou
sands of deeds will be made out and
the transactions will be completed
between the land spectators and the
allottee up to the point of the final
transfer. On July I, when the re-
strictions shall be removed, runners
will be ready to go to the homes of
these allottees If necessary and bring
them to town or finish the transac-
tion at their homes.

Tailored Shirt Waists,

Tailored shirt waists are never en-
tirely abandoned by the fashionable
women and hold their place in sport
ing attire. The new models are much
like those with which we familiar,
plated at tn" shoulders and with
shirt cuff rather than long fitted
cuff, the most authoritative makers
having apparently decided that since
the more elaborate blouse has set
aside the shirt waist, save for very
tailorlike costume, the waist may well
be as mannish and severe as possible.
There are, however, some heavy
waists Of tailor style not so conven-
tional. One has the familiar plated
body, but rolling low collar and ell
bow sleeves with turnback cuffs. This
Is shown in linen, and a number of
severe linen models have the short
sleeves with plain turnback cuff.

fles made cf leather, which are sewed
around the bottom of the skirt 10 pro-
tect them from the dust and dirt of
the streets. The rufIles are made OF
leather of moderate weight, dyed to
match the color of the gown. They
are fulled on to a leather band which
is attached by means of buttons and
buttonholes to the bottom of the gown.
In this way these ruflles need only to
be worn in the street and can be
taken off and brushed and cleaned.
They protect the gown better than
one can imagine as well as giving the
required stiffness to hold out a skirt
well around the bottom.

FROM FARMERS.
Mail Order Houses Offer to Pay
Seven Per Cent Interest.

Topeka, Kas.-Kansas bankers are
becoming alarmed over a new
scheme evolved by Chicago mail or
der houses for getting hold of idle
money in the country. These houses
are borrowing money from the coun-
try people at the rate of 81 ,ooo, 900
day, SO the bankers report, and their
scheme is absolutely Legitimate.
They simply write their customers
who have idle money to send it to
them and get receipt. The money
will draw 7 per cent interest and is
subject to call This looks like a
bankingh proposition, but really it is
nothing more or less than straight
loan at 7 per cent.
In booklet explained by one of
the Chicago mail order houses the
plan is explained as follows: "If you
have any idle money send it to us.
We will send you receipt. We will
pay you 7 per cent interest and you
can draw the money at any time you
want it. We are large borrowers of
Chicago, New York and Boston
banks. We prefer to borrow from
you You trade with us. They don't
Your local banker will not give you
to exceed 4 per cent interest, il he
gives any at ALL By sending us your
money you make anywhere from 3
to 7 per cent over what you can get
at home and we get it as cheaply as
we now get money from the eastern
banks"
1t is also provided that when a
customer wants any goods he can
send for them and have the bill
charged against the note which he
holds against the house. Depositors
are limited to one member to fam
lily and the amount cannot be less
than S. nor more than ST. 900.

Evening Wraps la kimono.

Kimono styles have invaded the
realm of evening wraps in the shape
of an interesting coat made OF satin,
the fronts rolling back and the cuffs
turned back in typical kimono fash
ion. Both fronts and cuffs are
trimmed with embroidery of the Jap
anese type, done in the color of the
wrap.
another wrap, cut in some way
which makes 1t drape from the shoul-
ders, has pointed fold falling from
the middle of the back down almost
to the waist, like mock hood. If a
bordered material is used, the point Is
edged both sides with the border,
which runs down both fronts as well.
Or. sometimes, bands of Oriental en-
broidery make the trimming, the point
further emphasized by tassel of
silk, which bangles from the very tip.

TWENTY MINERS KILLED.
Big Snow Slides in Colorado Doing
Much Damage.

Ouray, Colo.-Six hundred miners
employed in various mines in a rad
ius of twenty miles from Ouray, have
been cut off from one side as result
Of the snow slides. AS many as
twenty lives have been lost. Twen-

The damage amounts to $I,ooo,ooo.
Telluride snow slide which
came down at Liberty Bell, damaged
the upper terminal of the tramway

until the Liberty Bell mine will be
completely covered
Another snow slide came down
yesterday near Ballcin tunnel of the

MAY TUNNEL A MOUNTAIN.
Natural Cave in Arbuckle Range
Will Be Utilized.

Guthrie, Okla.-John w. Shartel,
builder of the electric lines at Guth-
rie and Oklahoma City, and other
Oklahoma capitalists are now max
ing investigations regarding the
feasibility of an electric line in the
vicinity of Sulphur Springs, in the
Chickasaw nation. One plan contem-
plates the building of a portion of
the line underneath a mountain Of
the Arbuckle range, in the vicinity
of Turner Falls. At the head of the
falls there is cave of considerable
size, and the plan includes the use Of
this cave as a portion of the tunnel,
or rather the extension of the cave
on through the mountain. The cave
itself is large enough to permit the
passage of an electric car, and its
floor is almost level.
