With the arrival of spring charming
models for children are seen in the
stores One for child of eight Is an
old fashioned small check bingham
frock of tomato color, trimmed with
bands and ruffles of that most solid
and pretty English embroidery. Touch
es of black velvet appear on the OPEN
ing of the yoke and in the belt. The
dress in question was made with the
short skirt almost covered with rows
of tiny ruffles, which has the effect OF
huge and beautiful flower.
The big department stores are show
ing a quantity of desirable frocks for
Little girls One of the prettiest ma
terials used is very narrow striped
changeable silk, such as was in fash
ion some twenty years ago.
The models are most attractive.
Many have panels edged with pinked-
out ruffles. One in particular was of
china blue and white stripe. with the
| yoke and sleeves in finely tucked net.
The opening of heart-shaped side pam
els, was note of novelty. The trim
ming in the skirt was composed OF
three small pinked out ruffles.
Another pretty design was of white
in green. broad band of silk to
match furnished the trimming at the
bottom of the skirt, which was gather
edinto the band, producing charming
effect. The waist was Of the popular
one piece effect, but cut on the bias
and edged as the sleeve and neck by a
band of the same silk. The neck was
collarless and the. sleeves reached only
to the elbows. which is the universal
style in which these summer gowns
are made.
Blue in all shades has attained a
wonderful success with women of fash
ion. The tints most in favor are ae.
no, nourrice, cadet, peacock, Copenha-
gen and the ever popular marine.
Green is a great favorite and is now
to be had in lovely soft shades, such
as mignonnette. lichen, ivy, willow, abb
sinthe, reseda. moss. olive, bottle
green and apple-the clear, true green
of the unripe fruit.
Purple, unlike green may be worn
by almost anyone, and this year anne
thyst and ,wistaria show promise of
great popularity
Then there are the beautiful reds.

SMELLING co. in TROUBLE
Is One of the Largest Concerns of Kind
in United States.

Joplin. Mo-, Feb. S.-Following gem
eral circulation of a report here that
the A B. Cockerin Smelling company,
one of the largest zinc ore smelling
concerns in the United States, was on
the verge of bankruptcy, A. B. Cockerill
of Nevada, president of the company,
has confirmed the rumor. The National
Bank of Commerce, of St Louis, and
George E. Nicholson of Kansas City,
who hold bonds issued by the company
to the extent of $1,000, 900, have been in
charge of the company's properties for
several days, and formal assignments
will probably be made tomorrow, ac-
cording to Mr.. Cockerill.
The company owns smelters in AL
toona. Bruce, Gas City, La Harpe,
Pittsburg, Kan, and Nevada. Mo. OF
these smelters, those at Altoona and
Gas City, alone are now in operation.
In all the plants the company has %
furnaces, with a total weekly smelling
capacity of 1000 tons of ore.
Failure to recover from the effects of
the 1907 panic, together with the present
ore situation are given as reasons for
the failure by Mr.. Cockerill.
The price of spelter has not in
creased in proportion to the price of ore
in the Joplin district, where we obtain
our supply" he said, this, coupled
with embarrassment which has existed
Stree we were forced to issue bonds in
1907. has caused the failure. The bond
holders have been in practical control
of our properties for the last four days,
and 1 expect formal assignment will be
made. 1 understand it to be their In
tention to continue operation of the
plants provided ore prices do not again
increase to a prohibitive price"
The company is capitalized at $S,O00,--
600 and is one of the heaviest buyers OF
ore in the Joplin district
81 have understood that the bond
holders were about to assume charge Of
the company's property for several
days" said w. H. Robertson, local rep
resentative of the company, land for
that reason have purchased no ore in
the market here We thought it adj
visable to clean up the stocks on hand
before the formal assignment is made.
I have not yet been definitely advised
whether or not the company will con-
tinue purchasing ore in this district.
1.-THE sudden slump in the spelter
market in 1907 which was not accom-
panied by a corresponding decrease in
the price of ore and which has never
been equalized is undoubtedly largely
! responsible for the situation

STREAM OF LETTERS.
Pours in on PhiIanthropist Pearsons
at Rate OF 500 Day.

Chicago, Feb. S.-Since DIR. Daniel
K. Pearsons of Hinsdale announced
three weeks ago that he would make
a general distribution of his fortune
on April IA next. his ninetieth birth
day, the intermittent stream of let
ters has grown to a steady torrent,
amounting to more than 500 daily.
DR.. Pearsons has given away $4,-
100000 in a score of years and vows
that he will die penniless.
Look at this ROOM" he said in
despair, at the sanitarium in Hins-
dale, where he is spending the win
ter.
In one corner lay stack of college
catalogues; in another pamphlets
from religious institutions; the draw
ers of his desk and tables were piled
with letters, many unopened and the
contents of two waste baskets had
overlooked and lay in a heap on the
floor
And here comes the postman, he
added, with resignation.
The clerk at the resort entered the
room with a large grip sack contain
ing ESQ letters. One was accompanied
with a stamped envelope.
There, that's BETTER the philan-
thropist said as he glanced through
the note. Then wrote mo" at the
bottom and dropped it in the letter
box.
Most of the notes We're from indiv
iduals, some picturing at length the
writer's needs; others asking breezily
for the loan of a couple of thousand
that could be put to good use.
Il give almost nothing to individ-
uals," DIR. Pearsons said. ut is to
the colleges in the new west and in
the poor sections of the south that
most of my money will go.
Il have so arranged my affairs that
at my death there will be not one
cent to quarrel over. I don't know
yet how much L shall give away in
April, but it will all be to those on
a list already made out. At the Uni
versity of Copenhagen there is an en-
dowment fund 900 years old, not one
cent of which has been lost or wasted,
and a German mission society has
maintained $4,000 fund for more
than a century. All my gifts are to
be given with this in view"

SMILED A farewell.
As Her Body Was Swept Over Niagara
Falls

Niagara Falls. Feb. S-A young wo-
man. thought to be Miss Beatrice R.
Snyder of Buffalo, committed suicide
by wading into the river just above
Prospect Point and going over the
American Falls. AS her body swept
over the brink of the cataract, she
turned her head toward the would-be
rescuers and smiled a farewell to them.
A park policeman paid scant attention
to the woman when she first appeared
on the path leading to the river, then
as she began to run toward the river,
it was too late to intercept her.
On the bank was found a handbag
and in it this note:
Mamma, and Papa-May you both
forgive me for bringing this awful dis
grace upon you in these years of your
life. Also may our Heavenly Father
forgive all my sins. But 1 have been
very good thank God. With my heart
full of love for all your kindness and
tender love, goodbye.-Lovingly
.'BEATRICE.''
There was a card on the purse bear
ing the name Beatrice b SNYDER.

ENDORSE MAYOR GREEN.
Ministerial Union Approves His Can
didacy for Reelection.

The Ministerial union of the city has
endorsed Mayor William Green for
mayor of the city under the commits
sion form of government.
eve unanimously approved the pre-
vious record of Mayor Green" said
Rev. NJ. M. Culpepper, vice president
of the union. "for we could not see
where he had made any mistakes. We
think that he has carried out every
thing in the best way possible and
every one of US hope to see him re-
elected mayor. However, we did not
endorse him as candidate or any one
else, as we do not believe that we
should enter into politics. Most of the
preachers like Green and I think they
will vote for him.
