The Modest Prices That We Make
Will Astonish You.
.ooltex; Styles
are Beautiful

1t is to be a season of elaborate picture
dressing for indoor wear, and of smart simplicity
for the street.
Dhectoire styles are the keynote Of present
fashions These are adapted from fashions worn
in Paris about 1895.
The chief feature of Drectoire gowns is
closely swathed draperies with high waistlinc.
The hue and cry about sheath skirts, open on the
sides and worn without petticoats, need not dis
trb anyone. The few of these exaggerations
which have been seen in public, have not been
worn by ladies.
The modified Drectoire styles are genuinely
charming. But trailing skirts are essential to
their success. This limits their correct use to
drawing-room and carriage toilets.
For walking, travelling and general utility
wear two-piece tailored suits are worn BY we'll
dressed women. Their style consists in high.
grade materials, correct lines, and perfection Of
tailoring u5
Suit coats are semi-fitting, 30 to 36 inches
long, according to the height of the wcarer. Suit
skirts are plated or IN ripples cores The length
is to inches off the floor to suit the taste and
figure of the wearer Plated skirts are pre-
ferred with the longer coats, as their lines con
form better to those of the coats.

Beat up a Mexican.

A man named Frank Winters,
whose home is supposed to be
In Pueblo, is in Jail in Larned,
waiting to see how near he came
to killing a Mexican three miles
west of Pawnee Rock s unday
, night. The Mexican, who was
In the employ of the Santa Fe,
was badly beaten up about the
face and body and is not expect
ed to live. When found he was
lying in the road in an uncon-
Scious condition, his head and
body battered and the most of
his clothing torn off. A broken
shot gun, which had evidently
o been used as a weapon by his
assailant was lying near him.
The assault occurred at a point
west OF Pawnee Rock in Pawnee
county and his assailant, who
in company with a female,
was travelling in a covered
wagon, hitched up and drove
, east. He had camped up for
ephOne message from Larned and
also from Pawnee Rock informed
the authorities here of the crime
and Marshal Wilson and Shreiff
Dalziel started westand on meet
ing Winters, arrested him. The
accused was at first disposed to
show fight, but soon cooled off.
His travelling companion was
left with the wagon.
The sheriff of Pawnee COUNTY,
arrived Monday morning and
Winters was taken there Monday
for trial, which will probably not
occur until the extent of the
Mexiean's injuries are more full
ly known.
Winters says that he was at
tackled by 8 Mexicans, who tried
to hold him up and that was
the whole trouble. He claims to
have been on his way south to
Oklahoma. The affair is suppos-
ed to have been the result Of a
drunken row.

Never too Old to Get
Married.

"No, sir, a mans never too old
to get married. "
This was the remark made by
Parker Corbin of Topeka, aged
Il years, in reply to a question
put to him by a bystander, as
he signed an application for a
marriage license in the office of
the probate judge Saturday. And
The blushing bride, Mrs. Mary
Wise, aged 81 years, concurred in
this opinion and added that her
betrOtE;d was just in his prime.
The license was issued and the
septagenarian bridegroom, ac-
cOmpanied by his bride, left the
room in quest of a preacher. Bot
the contracting parties are resi-
dents of Topeka. COrbin was
for many years a resident Of
Great Bend, Kan, and was for a
long time the probate judge of
Barton county.
"I've issued quite a few Of
those licenses myself" he laugh
ely remarked "and thought tina
it was high time | should get one
for my own use.
The bride, Mrs. Mary Wise, is
the widow of the late William
Wise of Topeka.

The monthly meetings Of farm

The topics that may be suggest
ed are several: Best month for
plowing, deep or shallow plowing

disk in. February or plow again.

breaking prairie in winter, break
ing clover or alfalfa in winter,
why do some claim that winter
plowed ground stands drOuth vel
and others insist that it dries
out quicker than ground plOwed
in spring, advantages that may
be agreed on for fall or winter
plowing.
1t is hoped that several hund-
red farmers meetings may be
held, even where there is no or
ganized institute. County in
sstitute presidents are urged to
name local chairmen at places
where there is no institute and
every local institute president is
urged to arrange for a meeting
on Saturday afternoon, Decem-
ber 5, from 2 to 4 o'clock. Begin
and adjourn promptly. If there

Cannon for Revision

In an interview in Chicago,
Speaker Cannon made the follow,
ing statement:
ANY change in the revenue
laws of the country of necessity
is followed by a depression of
business. Three years ago | fol-
lowed the lead of Theodore RoOst
velt who declared that there
should be no revision of the rev.
enue laws, which means the tariff
until after the next general elee-
tiOn. His policy was not to chang
existing condition. The Repub-
lican platform on which the ma
tional contest has been won says
revise the revenue laws. That re-
vision should be with due regard
to protection and penalty against
discriminatory nations. As a
member of the next House, a CO.
ordinate branch of the govern
ment equal to the executive and
the judiciary, | am so far as my
vote is concerned going to see
to it that the policy of the Re-
publican party on this question is
written in the national laws as
promptly as possible. The laws
should be written promptly, 50
that business can adjust itself
to changed conditions, for the
change will of necessity bring dis
turbances,' -.
