With the exception of the reappear- ance of the long sleeve and the draped clinging skirt, there Is not much change in the fashions since last win ter.
 The shoulder seams are practically the same, the Japanese effect being still greatly in vogue. Skirts are more close fitting, otherwise similar. and so the modes that prevailed last winter are by no means out of date as yet.
 The draped skirt has not come as a surprise, for the semi-emplre waist which prevails necessarily invited It's appearance. The 'jupe plombante" gives length. and these long skirts are very slightly gathered into the waist band and are clinging on the hips.
 Tartans which make their appear ance regularly at the beginning of every winter are again 10 the fore, and seem to be more liked than ever. espe- cially in very soft, shaded and shot effects.
 They are used in plaited skirts, ac- companied by braid-edged, Scotch looking coats in plain navy blue or black serge.

There is nothing which will clean a hardwood floor any quicker than a soft cotton mop kept purposely for the work. The mop should be large and kept dry as long as possible, since the woolly substance, which is mixed with the cotton. takes up all dust and dirt. Of course the mop will not take up what is needed to be swept with a broom or sweeper. but for cleaning lint or dust it is valuable. Open the windows and frequently shake the mop free from dust.

The glass sheets used over bureau and dressing table tops are a great saving to the embroidered and lace trimmed covers of such furniture and add rather than detract from their ap- pearance. Glass sheets also make ideal desk tops, as they defy scratches and other blemishes to which a much used desk is exposed.

It is a fact that fragrant woods are better for the purpose of keeping boxes trunks and closets filled with clean. fresh suggestion of scent than any amount of liquid perfumes. It is only necessary to fill numbers of small bags and large pads and these woods will retain their fragrance for years. It is always very faint, but if persisted in the odor imparts itself even to the walls of closets.

AVOID ICE WATER.

Avoid ice water if you would be
considerate of your stomach this
hot weather. That is the advice
given by prominent physician, n
stomach specialist. In his opinion,
the chilling of the stomach with
ice water aud other iced drinks is
one of the most frequent causes of
summer stomach disorders. Ice
cold beverages may be taken safe
ly by slipping, letting them become
warm in the mouth before swal-
lowing. But when gulped down
they excite the stomach, causing
rush of blood to that organ. fol-
lowed by feeling of depression
and faintness. No animal will
drink ice water. Nature teaches
them better, says this physician.
Water or other drinks which are
Just cool, or even Iukewarm, are
far more refreshing and invigOra-
ting. although they may not please
the palate at once. Exchange.

called today at the morgue merely out
of curiosity. he at once identified the
body OF Zeigler's victim as that of
Farley, whom he knew well in Las
Vegas. Coppers was positive in his
identification, but referred Chief OF
Police Armstrong to a Rio Grande
engineer named Ginter to substantiate
the Identification The police are noG
endeavoring to locate Ginter.
The autopsy on the body of the dead
man disclosed the fact that, instead
of single bullet in his body, there
We're two balls apparently of different
caliber, fired from different weapons.
Up to the time of the autopsy the
police had worked on the theory that
Zeigler who admits that he shot the
strange man, was telling the truth
when he declared he had been assault
ed in his room and In the struggle had
wrested the gun from his assailant
and killed him with his own weapon.
II now appears certain that Zeigler
either used another gun which has
disappeared and then fired second
shot from the gun carried by the
dead man. or that a.third party, whose
identity Is unknown. was concerned in
the affair.

Fairview, Lincoln, Aug. 1.-THE
most important happening at Fairview
today was the emphatic denial given
by w. j, Bryan to a story printed in
Pttsburg this morning that he had
sold out" to the Kerr faction of the
Pennsylvania democracy In order to
accomplish the defeat OF Colonel Jas.
NJ. Guffey for national committeeman.
The price alleged to figure in the
transaction was 100000 as a cam
paign contribution. The charge Is
said to have been made that Mr.. Bry-
an made good" but that Mr.. Kerr
and his supporters had not come for
ward with the money. Mr.. Bryan de-
clared that he had never heard of the
offer or agreement and he suggested
that the proper persons to consult were
the members of the committee on cre-
dentials which decided the Pennsyl-
vania contests.
Mr. Bryan would not permit him
self to be drawn into a further dis
cussion with James w. Van Cleave,
president of the Manufacturers asso-
citation, who came out In the press to-
day with additional reasons why the
business men of the country should
not support the democratic national
ticket This decision was based on
the fact that Mr.. Van Cleave had fail
ed to defend his former contentious,
but instead had shifted the discussion
to other questions. Not many visitors
came to the Bryan home today. Some
OF those who did call, however, were
given an experience not anticipated. A
large black snake Tor a time had ev-
erything his own way and made
things very uncomfortable. He made
several pllgrimages across the road
leading TO the house, always as some
one was coming down the walk with
the result that he carried terror in
his wake. searching party armed
with canes and clubs sailed forth
through the alfalfa patch In front OF

the reptile. but he eluded his pursuers
and now a problem OF great moment

who attacked and wounded a number

place Andrews before the convention
Discussion of the permanent or
Ganigation among the leaders in
dicates that either Jose D. Sena OF
Santa Fe or II. c. Fernandez OF Rio
Arribe county viii be permanent
chairman of the convention. The
membership of all the more important
committees has also been determined
upon. There is very little interest in
any of the committees aside from the
committee on resolutions, and even
this committee is not expected to de-
part very far from the usual line in
making its report to the convention.
The territorial central committee
will meet tomorrow morning at
O'Clock. The chief business before il
will be the recommendation of the
temporary organizations of the con-
Vention. There are no contests of
any Importance. The convention will
be called to order promptly at 10
O'Clock, the temporary organization
viii be effected and the temporary
chairman's opening speech delivered
before the noon hour. The conven-
ton will probably reconvene at
o'clock and the expectation is that the
business will be completed during the
afternoon session. The meeting for
the organization of the territorial CEN
tral committee win probably go over
until Wednesday.
The attendance of delegates at this
convention is unusual in that practl-
f.qll "a . a
present. There will be practically no
proxies in evidence. Tonight the
prospects are that the convention Will
be harmonious.
1t is possible that some of the heat
engendered in the fight for the pomi-
nation will make its appearance to-
morrow upon the floor of the conven-
ton, II this should be the case, some
lively moments may occur, but to-
night the lines are so closely drawn
that it will take a very violent erup-
ton upon the floor of the convention

The Bernalillo county delegation
arrived at noon today, headed by a
band and backed up by the delegates
from practically all of the southern
counties. 1t made a very imposing
appearance as it marched through the
plaza to its headquarters at the Pal
ace hotel The strength of the dele
cation created a decided impression
and had its share in discouraging
those who had been hoping against

prevent the nomination of Andrews,
The Bernalillo county delegation will
