O'FERRALL BROS. OPENING
BRILLIANT AND BEAUTIFUL

For several weeks both young and
old have been anXiously looking for
ward with earnest anticipation to the
grand fall opening of O'Ferrall Bros.
mammoth store.
Last evening this great event took
place, beginning at o'clock and last
ing until II. O'Ferrall's openings are
now considered the most brilliant af-
fairs of the season, and certainly de-
servedly So.
It is difficult to describe the bril-
liant and wonderful displays shown at
this popular store. Suffice it to say an
opening. as was this would do Justice
TO any store in the great city of New
York. The opening plan was exclu-
sively the original plan of Mr.. Jewell
Tate Collins, as was also the drap-
cries and decorations executed by him.
Gold slippers from the shoe depart
ment and silver pencils We're the
handsome souvenirs given to each
guest. Lovely music was discoursed
throughout the evening by a splendid
stringed band. Miss Vannorden very
gracefully dispensed delicious punch
to the large throng assembled.
Displayed in one of the elegant show
windows was marvelously beauti-
full white fur hat, with collar and
muff to match, with original French
box and tag imported direct by OFer-
rail- Brothers Another lovely French
hat really one of the most beautiful
and up-to-date hats of the season,
was of Canard corded silk elaborate
ly trimmed with fruit and crimson
hued velvet.
The millinery display reflected
great credit on Miss Hays the tai
ented milliner. The display of beau
tiful dress goods and handsome
trimmings were dazzling and perfect
ly lovely. Drapped conspicuously on
one of the counters was yellow direc-
toire crepe cloth with beautiful silver
lace trimmings, another was of rose
satin duchess with elaborate embroid-
cred alencOm net bands. and still an
other was a handsome suit of pink
brocaded satin, with louge and old
blue bands. with French coat of smoke
directoire velvet. Grey chiffon cloth
over satin with real yak lace was one
of the most beautiful and elaborate
fall suits on display. A strikingly
handsome and picturesque suit of
pompadour chiffon cloth with coin
spot velvet coat and filet laces was
conspicuous. and certainly it would
merit highest admiration from the
most critical observer.
The decorations were both beautiful
and elaborate, the color scheme of red
and green was stressed throughout.
Autumn vines, massive palms and
feathery ferns intermingled with
broad satin ribbons of green and red
lending the needed touch to the hand
some interior. This beautiful store
lends itself so beautifully to the hand
of the decorator, with its gorgeous dis
play Of the seasons most beautiful
and stylish dry goods and millinery
that but little decorations are needed
to give really marvellous touch of
beauty to the spacious and artistic in
terror, In the center of the store
driven by boys and girls, chariots

derful admiration. Last but by no
means least, was a splendid figure
dressed in directoire gown of pale
blue satin duchess. elaborately
trimmed with real laces with a hand
some picture hat in black and blue,
was a dream of the dressmaker's art
as well as of the milliners also.

that so grand an opening elected,
and O'Ferfall Bros, together with
their efficient corps of help are to
be highly congratulated.

JAPANESE EMBEzzLERS.
Return to Japan and the Mikado put
Them in Jail and Pays for Deposition.

SALT LAKE CITY, Mar. Be
cause Utah did not have the money
to bring back two embezzlers from
Japan the Mikado's government not
only tried and convicted the offenders
for a crime in this state, but has
paid Utah for collecting and forward
ing afidayits in the case. A check
for $l92 was received yesterday by
Governor Cutler from the Japanese
counsul general. An accompanying
letter said it was the desire Of his
government to look after the welfare
of its citizens abroad AN prosecute
anyone who might bring dishonor
upon the nationality.
The culprits fled from Brigham
City, Utah, more than year ago with
$4,000 entrusted to them for safe
keeping by rs Japanese laborers en-
p1oyed in the beet fields. The men
were traced to Japan and there ar
rested Immediately. Although the
proceedings were abandoned owing
to Utah's lack Of funds the Japanese
officials learned the particulars Of the
crime and requested the American
authorities to forward the dispositions
of the victimized laborers.

often reaching the heart when death
ensues.
Pains across the back, frequent,
painful and suppressed urination and

DIFFICULTIES ADJUSTED.

CITY OF MEXICO, March B.
Mexico and Guatemala have adjust
ed their diplomatic difficulties which
have existed since the assassination
here last April of Gen. Barillas, re-
sulting in the demand for the extrad-
ition of Gen. Lime and Colonel Bone,
and the removal Of the Mexican
legation to Salvador, upon Guatem-
alas refusal to grant Mexico's request
Heretofore one minister has been ac-
credited to all five Central American
states The proximity of the two
countries and the realization that the
best interests of each would suffer by
the continuation of the recent status
is the reason assigned for the estab-
lishment Of an independent legation.
1t is expected the Guatemalan gov
ernment will soon name a minister to
succeed Minister Aguerra who has
returned to Guatemala to accept a
cabinet position.

SECURING TAX REFORM.

CHICAGO, Mar. 3.-A Movement
in the direction of securing tax re-
forms and measure of financial relief
has been started by Mayor Busse.
At the mayors invitation the mayors
of score of Illinois cities will meet
in Chicago tomorrow to discuss pro-
blems of taxation and municipal rev.
enue. 1t will be kind OF heart to
heart talk by Mayor Busse and con-
troller Wilson with the heads of
other municipalities on matters Of
common interest to all.
What the mayor and the controller
would like to find out is why Chicago
has so little spending money, although
the tax rate is steadily going higher.
According to the reports SO far
received the same, if not worse con-
ditions existed in the finances of the
larger cities throughout the state.
The municipalities have hard time
making both ends meet. These con-
ditions will be described in detail in
the conference and then from com
parison Of the results an attempt will
Be made to fix the blame and find
the remedy.
! II is more than likely that as re-
suit Of the meeting a movement for al
revision Of the states tax
system will be started.
