These explanations I OWNED, though
could not know for certain.

I suppose should have been pleased
at this pantomime. Reginald was Ger.
tainly very happy in the smiles of one
who he supposed was myself. At first
l was greatly amused and thought the
way the girl played her part was
charming. Then suddenly it occurred
to me that she might supplant me. My
Indifference to Reginald vanished in q
twinkling. The girl was evidently de-
lighted with her supposed lover and
did not attempt to conceal her prefer.
ence for him. But to me from the mo.
ment l saw my danger her every ac-
ton was repulsive. 9TH ire is nothing
like me in this forward thing" 1 said
to myself. except her face and figure.
She acts as if she had never had a
lover before and if she loses this one
may never get another" Then the
color left my cheek as l added, "She

Finally saw Reginald look up at the
balcony and say something to her. and

finding themselves alone, sat in the
very spot where I had sat and where
they could not be observed from below.
Reginald took her hand and with his
other hand clasped her waist then bent
forward to take an engagement kiss.
The girl shrank back for a moment
Reginald looked surprised then submit

Stein-BIoch Clothes

The only reason why cotton is substituted for
wool in mercerized fabrics is to cheaper the
goods. A house is no stronger than its founda-
ton. So with clothes. Cheap fabrics mean
cheap clothes; and no matter how shrewdly they
are tailored, they will be untrustworthy. Stein
Bloch employ no mercerized or cotton adulter,
ated fabrics. Their goods are pure caustc-tested
wool, and the clothes made from them wear and
keep their shape.

The conference report on the state
hood bill passed the lower house Thurs
day afternoon without q dissenting
vote and at o'clock the same evening
the bill received the signature of Pres
ident Roosevelt. thus becoming law.
A scene of hearty enthusiasm took
place when the conference report passed
the House The statehood question has
been pending in Congress so long that
even those who were dissatisfied with
the provisions of the bill were glad that
the vexed issue had been settled at last.
The bill admits Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as one State Internationally
and admits Arizona and New Mexico
as one State on condition that at the
general election this fall the people of
both Territories, voting separately, rat
ify the union.
A most dramatic scene occurred when
Speaker Cannon left the chair, took his
old place on the floor and vehemently
denied the insinuation made by Dele
gate Smith of Arizona that undue in
fiuence had been used in postponing an
agreement.
The greatest disturbance that will
occur in official life in Indian Territory
following the passage of the statehood
bill will be in the Federal courts. In
dian Territory finally will comprise one
Federal district, and there will be only
one set of Federal officers where there
are now four, There are in each of the
four Federal districts two judges, each
drawing a salary of 5000 a year.

by natural rainfall and many millions
of acres hitherto arid land will in due
time be brought to high state of pro-

many millions of acres of forest avail

Senate Acts on Admission of Okla
hOma and Indian Territory.
The conference report on the state
hood bill was adopted without revi-
sion by the Senate Wednesday, follow
ing a three hours discussion, led by
Senator Beyeridge. Senator Money op-
posed the measure, calling the union
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory an
outrage. The question of admitting
New Mexico and Arizona as q single
State has gone over indefinitely, pend
ing a vote of each territory.
The statehood bill provides that Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory will be
united to form the fo-ty-sixth State in
the Union. When a constitution is
adopted in State convention it must
be ratified by the people, and there
after the President will proclaim the
of Oklahoma. The new State will come
in with representation in Congress of
five Representatives and two Senators.
The capital will be at Guthrie until
1913. and thereafter at such place as
shall be fixed by the legislature.
Arizona and New Mexico will elect
delegates to a constitutional conven-
ton Nov. 6. At the same time they
will vote separately on the question
of whether they desire to. unite as the
single State of Arizona. If there is &
majority in each territory for a united
statehood, the delegates elected to the
constitutional convention will assem-

COST NOT ON PACKERS.
Committee Decides Government VIII
Foot Inspection Bill.

Rigid meat inspection at an annual cost
to the government OF 100000 is pro-
vided for in substitute for tie Beveridge
amendment to the agricultural bill agreed
to by the House committee on agriculture.
Government labels guaranteeing that the
products are healthful, clean and in ev-
cry respect fit for food are required for
interstate commerce and, in addition to
this label, certificate for foreign COM
merce. The substitute passed the COM
mittee by the close vote of 8 to { and a
minority report favoring the amended
Beveridge provision will be submitted
The most stubborn contest in committee
was over the question of payment of the
cost of inspection. Henry Comm Hau-
gen (Iowa) and Davis Mimi Repub-
licans, and Lamb (Va.), Bowie (Ala.)
and Gambler (Miss.), DEMOCRATS, voted
to impose the cost upon the packers. Gro
mer (Ind.) did not vote, and the other
members, including Chairman Wadsworth
and William Lorimer, voted to put the
cost on the government.

ton for carrying in government relief
supplies but afterward agreed to take
half that amount
There is, however. great central
fund that contains the bulk of the
money contributions 1t is Il consoh
dated fund that holds all the money
consigned to the general relief commit
tee, the Red Cross and the mayor, and
a balance paid in by Governor Pardee.
This fund is under the charge Of
committee of twenty OF the most promi-
nent business men in San Francisco
The chairman is former Mayor James
d. Phelan, millionaire of high ability,
who enjoys great public confidence. The
committee is installed in a part of
large school house in the unburned dis
trict.
An organization Ike that of an up-to-
date railroad has been perfected. There
is room, divided by ratings, for the
general officers. In a corner of this
room Chairman Phelan tolls like
hard-worked railroad president direct
are occupied by his chief assistants.
As they are handling millions the men
of this committee have business CON
Germ that is bigger than an ordinary
city bank.
In round numbers there has been paid
into ,his consolidated fund S3,5000O0.
Contributions actually made but not
yet turned in exceed $2,500.O6O. The
latter may practically be counted as
cash on hand and it can fairly lie said
that there has been placed at the dis
posal of the committee over $6,000000.
There are verbal promises of $780,
eco. and money is constantly being re-
ceived from contributors who send in
their donations without making pre-
liminary promises.
A contract has been made for 100000
pounds of meat to be delivered as need.
ed Meal tickets issued to the refugees
cost the fund 10 cents each. Tickets
are not given to able-bodied men. The
committee has agreed TO pay $3.50 each
for the care of patients in the hospi-
tails. Sanitary work, necessary to pre-
vent pestilence from sweeping over
the refIgee camps and the unburned
section of the city, is a large item of ex
penSe.
The fund will be used in part in the
form of small loans made to poor but
deserving people who need only a small
capital to place them ON an independent
basis
