HIP REnUCINo coRsETs.

You all have heard that there are
to be no hips for the time being
that It's positively shocking to have
them at all-so may not tell you a
Icing yarn about hips. because there

most to proclaim ones self a nature

She does look a straight line-a slen-

And the way to secure this new and
strange effect. that is known as "ths
hipless line" is to get iarge-waist

The following from the Ouray Her
ald makes 1t clear the storm OF last
week ragged on that side with the
same virulence 1t did In this section:
Wednesday was one of the worst
days In the hills that has been expert
enced In this section for q number of
years. Slides were running in all di.
rectlons and It was next to impossible
to travel. Up Sneffels way the Water
hole slide came down and made the
road almost impassable. Dad" Aus
tin. who never stops for snow made
his regular trip up In the morning.
as did the Ashenfelter froightins
teams. but found 1t 30 difficult that
he made the trip yesterday on horse
back, While the snow up that way
was only about ten to eighteen inches
deep. the conditions were Just right
for slides. the snow being very heavy
and falling upon snow that has already
settled. Several smaller slides ran
in the Sneffels district. but none Of
them did any damage except the one
AT the Atlas mine which carried away
the snowsheds. Fortunately no one
was injured. The Red Mountain road
was blocked by the Mother Cline and
the Riverside slides to such an extent
that the mail carrier was unable to
make the trip on horseback Wednes-
day or yesterday. The Circle Route
stages from Ouray and Silverton are
both tied up in Red Mountain and
can get out neither way. No other
damage has been done so far as we
have been able to learn. The old tim
ers Of Red Mountain declare that
the storm Tuesday and Wednesday
was the worst they have over expert
enced In that country. From Monday
night till Thursday morning the snow
fell to depth of thirty inches and
drifted heavily by a strong wind from
the north. On Tuesday q freightins
sled belonging to A. L. Stewart was
caught In the Yankee Girl slide and
overturned. No damage was done
other than the overturning of the sled.
Up Poughkeepsie gulch q number OF
the large slides ran. but 1t IL evident
that no damage was done except to
blockade the roads and trails."

The famous old Frank Hough mine
on Engineer mountain continues to
ship high grade copper ore by mule
train to Animas Forks and thence to
Durango via silvertou. The ore IL the
cleanest in the country, Is large In
body and OF splendid value. being from
20 to 80 per cent copper and carry.
Ing some gold. Shipments will con-
tinue as long as the trails can be kept
open. The mine is located close to the
lines connecting Oursy. San Juan and
HInsdale counties and the principal
owner is Mr.. A. e. Reynolds Of Denver.
who made the Revenue-virgsnus Of
Ouray famous. Mr.. Reynolds and his
managers never talk much about their
mining plans, but 1t is generally under
stood that next season they will build
an aerial tramway from the mine to
the county road near Ouray. down
Bear creek. and from thence transport
the product by wagons to the Ouray
railroad station. Only the best OF the
ore is being shipped now. from q nns
body encountered q few months ago.
Development work on the mine has
been going on for year. and the
Hough can now be counted as one OF
the prominent producers Of copper and
gold in this section Of the state.

of his colleagues and a majority of the

to introduce an amendment 10 the ma

provide for four battleships. Cap

will succeed in passing this amend

Washington, May 2o.-The conclus- ion of the special committee, which has been investigating the charges of Representative Lilley. of Connecticut, that members of the House had been improperly influenced in conneetion with submarine torpedo boat. legisla- tion, that Mir. Lilley had violated his obligations as member and had act ed in bad faith with the committee and in contempt of the House. were sustained today by the House by
 vote of 257 to s2.
 Five hours of the session were de-
 voted to the case, four of which were consumed in reading the report. The convention members joined in voting against the resolution by which tho House adopted the conclusions of the committee as it's own. Mir. Williams. of Mississippi. denounced MT. Lilley as being guilty of treason for which
 he said he should he expelled. He presumed that the reason the commit tee did not carry it's report to a recom- mendation to that end was because MT. Lilley was at his home i'll and unable 1 to defend himself in such a proceed ing. It was a noticeable fact that the 1 five members of the committee, Messrs. Boutell. Olmsted, Stevens, Brousard and Howard, sat together throughout
 the entire proceedings and that none of them submitted any remarks in con-
 nection with the report. The partial | conference report on the sundry civil | appropriation bill occasioned a lively | debate. It was adopted and the con- | ferees will continue their egorts to ar rive at a complete agreement.
