Miss Mary Banta, the missionary at

and the one who discovered the plight
OF two little so-called Chinese slave

Banta today accepted the advice OF

The hostility of the Chinese against
their women teachers grew out of the
persecution suffered by practically all
the Cinnamon In the city after the Sigel
murder. The burden of the crime fell
heavily upon the heads of all the mem

women missionaries have abandoned
the scene of their labors, leaving their
slant-eyed bible students to return to
the worship of the gods of their Illus

grandfathers OF thousands of years

the denizens of Mott, Pell and Doyers

GAS MAINS NEARLY IN.
GrinneII Consumers Are to Have Gas

GrinnelI Consumers Are to Have Gas
by Sept. 1.
Special to Times-Republican.
Grinnell, July 2s.-The twelve miles
of gas mains will be completed this
week, and the company will go on to
the work of installing the machinery
and tanks as soon as they arrive, and
will be ready to turn on the gas for
the consumers by Sept. l. The storage
tanks were ordered from Chattanooga,
Tenn, June 1s, and were expected here
long before this time, but have been
delayed in the manufacture. The gen
Grating apparatus is to be shipped this
week from Sioux City. In the laying
of the mains, a ditching machine has
been used quite largely, and found to
be rapid in its work and economical
lin use. 1t differs somewhat from the
immense affair that became familiar TO
many of the people here last summer.
while excavating for the new sewer,
being smaller and lighter, as the ditch
for the gas mains is but two and a, half
feet in depth, but is of the same gem
eral design and has drawn a. constant
crowd of spectators.

CITY IMPROVEMENT FUND.
Provides For Extra Three Mills Tax
Levy at Grinnell.

Special to Ti1nes-Republican.
Grinnell, July 2s--In view of the
rapidly increasing expenses of the city
Of Grinnell, under the present high
pressure running, having just let the
largest contract for paving that was
ever given out In Iowa, the city coun-
Gil on Saturday last established q city
improvement fund and provided for an
extra tax levy of three mills for the
current year, to supply the necessary
funds. This will bring in about $500
for the covering OF numerous incidental
expenses, and will probably have to be
continued for some years to come. An
ordinance was also passed establishing
the curb line on all the principal
streets Of he city. The council also
voted 800 to the fund for the use of
the Septic Process Protective League,
in resisting the demands of the Cam
eron Company for excessive royalty on
their patent.

QUIT HAULING BEER
Attorney General Byers Reported to
Have Notified County Attorneys That
Deliveries to Homes Are. Illegal
New Moves Creates Sensation.


New Moves Creates Sensation.
Des Mofnes, July 2s.--Independent of
John B. Hammond's crusade against
wagon deliveries OF beer and other
liquors to the homes of consumers, the
state department Of Justice has sent
out several opinions to county and city
attorneys in which 1t is understood the
position is taken that delivery of liquor
to any person except those authorized
to sell 1t is violation of law.
Mr.. Hammond's determination to war
against the delivering of liquor to con-
sumers, either by breweries, retail
dealers or walters in the cafes, is in
line with similar movements quietly
begun in other cities of the state and
1t now seems certain that county at
torneys and police officers will be call
ed upon to put an end to the practice
Attorney General Byers Is still at
Harlan and has not yet made public his
holding in regard to the section of the
code which prohibits transporting iq-
uor to any person not permit-holder.
But 1t is known that the department OF
justice of which he is the head holds
with Mr. Hammond and others who
believe that deliveries to the consumer
are illegal and subject the company or
person who violates the law to 500
fine.
l Announcement of the latest develop
ment in the law enforcement campaign
against the liquor traffic has created 6
sensation. 1t is hailed by temperance
workers as a great victory, while lib.
erals declare the Interpretation giver
the law by Mr.. Hammond is arbitrary
and interferes too greatly with THE
rights of the citizens. A few declare the
effect of enforcing the statute will be
to drive those who now drink mod
erately at their home to the saloon.
This, according to Mr. Hammond
was clearly the purpose Of the legisla-
ture, to confine drinking to the saloons
If the law against delivering liquol
is enforced it will drive many so-callet
family dealers" out of business ant
materially reduce the sale of bottled
beer in Iowa. 1t is declared the statute
would work positive hardship in Ger.
man communities where beer is always
served at the family tables.

MANS SPRING SACK COAT
More Favor for the Double Breasted
This Year.
NO PADDING ON THE SHOULDERS
Burst of Color In the FlanneIs-
Changes I'm the Getaway and
Also in the Morning
CoRt.

NEW YORK, March l3.-Interest in the
spring and summer fashions for men CEN
tiers largely about the sack coat, which is
about the only style worn during the sum
mer months. whether the material be wor-
sted or flannel. Recent years have shown
MT little favor for the double breasted sum
mer sack and its use has been confined
almost wholly to yachting wear. Now there
Is a promise OF its return to favor.
It's use will be more general, but there
will be little variety In its color, The
double breasted sack. whether Il be for
general or for yachting wear, win be dark
blue. The style is more suited to that color
than any other and whether the coat be Of
hard. smooth serge. flannel or rough wor-
sted. it's hue will be indigo.
The style Of sack coat adopted for this
hummer suits the double breasted make
better than most recent models. The two
sacks shown here are the modes that the
best a firms are sending out and they
sgs the result Of tendencies that have been

with these coats and, it might be added,
only with them. For the fancy trousers
to be worn with one of the black cutaway
coats there is nothing so smart as black
and white stripes, which may be had In
many varieties Of thickness and breadth
Of stripes.
Waistcoats for these coats are made in
the same style as those for the sack, with
no collar and six buttons. The white duck
stripe within the waistcoat is still as mod
ish as ever. It is scarcely to be recon-
mended for ordinary city wear, smart as
It is with the frock or cutaway coat,
Trousers avoid any excessive bagginess,
and with the tendency to less loosely fitting
coats they have become tighter 10 a per-
ceptible degree although there is still suf-
ficient roominess about the leg from the
knee to the hip. The change is more no.
ticeable from the knee down and about the
top OF the boot.
The smartest trousers fit closely. al
though the appearance Of tightness is in a
measure due to the crease, which, far from
losing it's vogue, seems more than ever an
essential part of a smart getup. Tailors
are now carrying the same idea into their
way of pressing coats, which come from
front and back of each Sleeve noticeable
down as far as the cuff. But this is a de-
vice OF the valet and does not come prop
erly into a consideration of what the
tailor does.

the last two years.
show Up h Figure.
They are without padding and fit closely
over the shoulders, which are what the
tailors call natural; that means they show
practically the natural width of the wear
er's shoulders without artificial broaden
ing. Then they follow loosely the outlines
OF the figure, showing the curve OF the
waist without emphasizing it, and fall to
a point well over the hips. There is a
graceful fullness in the bottom OF the
coat, but none of the exaggerated flare that
was for a while insisted on by the tailors
who seek ever for style rather than good
form.
These are the two coats that have the
greatest favor among well dressed men,
and the style is adapted to any material.
The summer dinner coats follow in their
modified form the lines of this model.
No feature Of this garment is more at
tractive TO well dressed men than it's free
dom from exaggerated features Of any
kind. The sleeves are finished without a
cuff. there being merely the two buttons
which close with genuine button holes at
the bottom OF the sleeve.
Note the difference between this simple
elegance and a device offered by a New
York tailor. He is generous enough TO
give his clients three different kinds OF
cuffs that may be buttoned onto the bot
tom Of the sleeve when they feel the need
OF variety. These are in solid colors that
match the color of the cloth In the same
material as the sleeve and in velvet.

the same material, although 1t must be
said that the fancy waistcoat seems more
modish in connection with The morning
coat than any other.
The cutaway is still made of black dag
onal and braiding is still used to finish the
edges. The skirts are somewhat broader
than they were. They fall lower in the
back, coming to the knee. There is a pocket
on the side in the black cutaway, but none
in the morning coat of mixed goods, which
has two pockets In the seam at the top Of
the skirts.
The cutaway and the morning coat this
spring may be described in one way to diff
ferent.ate them from their predecessors of
the last few years. 1t has been the pecu-
liarity of these coats that they seemed TO
be made for young men even If they were
worn by those who no longer could claim
that description. But they fitted closely,
the skirts were short and they possessed a
jauntiness that made them seem essentially
a young mans coat, That quality is miss
ing from the styles OF the year.
The coats do not fit so tightly; they are
fuller in front, and the skirts are no longer
skimp and short. They still have only the
three buttons; in the morning coat the
lapel is cut low enough to show the top Of
the skirt and there is a flare at the waist
which adds the usual touch OF m~odishness.
But all in all the cutaway coat of the pres
ent is not as smart as It's predecessor OF
the last few years.
The morning coat is smartest when made
up in black and white check In a Scotch
tweed Of an underlined plaid or al Irish
mixture. Stripes should under all circum-
stances be avoided.
The fancy waistcoat seems stl modish

tailor shops, varies slightly this model. 1t
comes from New Bond street and proclaims
that fact.
There are four buttons and one divergence
from the other sack is found in the length
of the coat. II falls below the hips and
the edges meet down to the bottom line.
The pockets are covered as in the other
coats with flaps and the collar closes rather
high with a broad peaked lapel. The sleeves
are absolutely simple. ending in three but
tons.
None of the summer coats is supplied
even with a urnback cuff by the best of
the tailors. The buttons are regarded as
sufficient. The skirt of this sack flares
somewhat and the single touch of the
freakish is the absence Of any breast
pocket.
The edges Of the flaps on the pockets
on the hip are rounded just as Is the bot
tom of the coat in front. OF course, the
fourth button is unusual. but that is not
sufficient according to American ideals 10
make a coat striking.
Color for Coat.
The only variety in the color scheme of
the summer garments for men in the city
is found perhaps in the higher tones Of the
~flannels. They come in rather brighter
colors than formerly. There will be pur-
pies and black and dark greens with stripes
and fewer browns than have been put on
the summer market in years. Then there
will be dark grays with stripes in color
such as dark green. dark purple and even
dark red
Gray will be the predominant color In
worsted and cassimeres although there will
be in most cases an admixture Of soms
color even though 1t L an almost invisible
