When it comes to discussion Of the elab-

Inclined to dodge the task. Here one can
not make sweeping classlfications as one
can in the realmn of street apparel.
There is a certain sameness OF silhouette
throughout all the fashionable world, but
beyond that originality runs riot. Each
frock has its own individuality, its own
characteristic details, and this is as 1t
should be, but it is also trying for the
woman who cannot afford a dressmaker
in whom she has confidence and for a
chronicler who would faithfully set forth
the vagaries of the modes.

Death BY ANTS
TERRA HAUTE, IND,
CONTRACTOR MEETS A TER
Rl5LE DEATH.

LOS ANGELES, Gala, Aug. 81
Burton Jarvis, wealthy contractor of
Terra Haute, Ind, died after three
days torture, by red ants. Jarvis was
afflicted with tuberculosis. He left
his hotel here on Sunday to visit an
ostrich farm. When he came to the
spot where he was afterwards found,
he tainted and remained there for two
days. He told of trying to attract the
of passers-by, who evidently
thought him drunk, as they paid no
attention. Boys found Jarvis and
brought him food with money he gave
them and finally told woman who
lived near him. She notified the hos
pital authorities, but he died soon af-
ter being taken to the hospital.

next Legislature. For several days it
has been rumored in political circles
that there would be only two candi-

Mr. Denton, being engrossed in bust
ness affairs, would not continue In
the contest. Interest in that direc-
ton has been increasing for quite
while, and the entire matter culmi-

which Mr.. Denton presents to the
public:
Il will not be candidate before
the next Legislature for State Treas
urer. This decision was reached after
an investigation of conditions early
after announcing my candidacy, and
many of my friends were advised to
that effect. The disturbed condition
of politics in the State, with the many
local complications and factional diff
ferences, which l find will have a
strong bearing on the final result, call
for a character Of campaigning for
the Office that is far from my liking,
