necessary to mix silk and velvet flow-
ers, the touch of velvet being some
times introduced on the leaves also.
Another favorite trimming for the
cloche hat is an enormous ruche of
soft silk, showing fringed edges. The
silk must be of the best quality, other
wise when the edges are fringed out
they will not sit up properly, and it
must be admitted that ruches of this
kind run away with a great deal of

of shirts for men.
AT the left you see the underlap

"The continuous flap Is a finish seen
very frequently. Being less noticeable
than the overlap finish, many prefer

straight band or with strap cuffs. To
adjust the continuous lap accurately,
separate the point of the slash and
stay 1t with two or three tiny back
stitches to the center of the straight
strip which forms the lap. Turn the
seam to the right side and make 1t
three-eighths of an inch from the edge,

Congressman Cook insists that great

Of Colorado's most honorable, upright

that they have been unnecessarily
branded as criminals through over
zealousness of the government in or
dering indictments without furnishing

He cites the recent decision of Fed

In which he quashed the indictments
against some thirty citizens, to show
that government prosecutors were
overactive In their efforts to punish

There were two burglaries in Wal.

afterwards recovered. The crooks
used skeleton keys in both instances
to secure admission to the buildings.
The first burglary appears to have
occurred at the Great Northern depot.
where the safe was blown. The rob-
bers, however, failed to secure any
thing, as the agent had taken the
money when he left the station. The
robbers secured an express package
which was later found north of the
city.
In Helsath & Quarrie's jewelry store
the burglars were more successful.

slept in the rear of the store, and

front part of the building, but thought
It was his partner. Finally he was
aroused and saw that something was
wrong. While he was endeavoring to
secure revolver the men fled.
The robbers took handcar and
went north, soon reaching the Cana.

car, and are thought to have gone

Washington, Jan. 10 80 The Brown.
son affair was the chief topic of dis.
cussion in the senate yesterday. It
was brought up when Senator Hale ex-
planned the navy personnel bill which
was introduced by him. The presen-
tation of the bill led Senator Tillman
to ask whether members of the COM
mittee would have an opportunity to
get facts in relation to the controversy
over the Brownson affair. Mr.. Tillman
intimated that he wished to call before
the committee witnesses to testify
concerning this matter. Mr.. Hale re-
piled that he thought there would be
no obstacle to allowing the senator to
do that.
Amid scenes Of confusion the men,
bers of the house of representatives
participated in a lottery for rooms in
the new house Office building opposite
the capitol. Outside of passing two
bridge bills the assignment of quarters
was the only business transacted.

Registration day for the winter term
at the state university was Tuesday
last, and the enrolment was the larg-
est for a single day in the history of
the institution. The total reached 452,
including all the departments at the
university proper. On Monday sixteen
students were enrolled in the law de.
partment, making the entire registra.
ton up to date, 46S. When 1t is re.
membered that last year on the first
day of the winter term 247 entered
and the enrolment for the first three
days Of the week was only 353, the
wonderful growth of the institution is
apparent. The registration of the fall
term of this year was $40, giving an in.
crease of 142 for the first day of the
present term. In spite of this large
enrolment, many of the old students
have not yet returned from their
homes. It is expected that many will
come in during the remainder of the
week.
