HOBBLE GOWN MAKES ITS
FIRST APPEARANCE HERE
Florence Stone Ferris Arrives at
0rpheum in Latest Paris
Fashion

The hobble skirt that really hobbies
has made it's first appearance in Los
Angeles.
It appeared yesterday afternoon at
the Orpheum, and its wearer, Florence
Stone Ferris, was caught by the cam
era man just as she was leaving her
auto. Her frock, which was of white
silk chiffon, heavily embroidered in
roses in their natural colors, was made
over a white satin foundation, very
close fitting. A fitted band of black
satin outlined the bodice about the
shoulders, and a similar one finished
the hem of the skirt, having deep
point about to the knees in front and
made slightly narrower in the back.
This band is very snug fitting and all
lows Mrs. Ferris to take only very
short steps.
The picture shows Mrs. Ferris as
she is in some difficulty in getting
from the auto to the sidewalk, assisted
by her husband, Dick Ferris.
at is not so very difficult to get
out here where the curb is high"
laughed Mrs. Ferris when she realized
that the camera man had caught her,
but ont in the residence district it is
a long step from the street and there
it is nuite a problem, at least If 1t is
daytime, or we are within range OF
an arc light.
"HoW do / manage in gong up ana
down stairs? Oh; that is easy You
know Dick and [ played 'Sapho when
we were on the stage and as Jean
he had plenty of practice in carrying
me up the stairs. a custom I find most
helpful when these fashions are in
vogue"
1t was impossible not to compare the
very narrow skirt with the beautiful
breadth of shoulder, and the question
finally was asked:
But how do you get this dress on?
Is it made and sewed on anew each
time you wear it, or how?"
ooh, no! I climb into it, just as I
would into a riding habit, I put it
down on the floor step into the center
of the circle and presto!-it is on. You
see there are novel, no-ahem, no
frilly things underneath to give any
trouble and the frocks are very eco
nomical-indeed, they are. They take
only the least little bit of cloth and
one need not have any petticoat un-
derneath, because there is no room
for it,
Surely with such an argument even
mankind will take more kindly to the
advent of the hobble gown.

to my many friends over the county
who SO nobly supported me in my
race for presiding judge OF the county
court. am especially proud OF my
home vote, an endorsement that re-
joices my heart. ] went into the
race at the call of duty, made fair,

gained fully repays me for the stren-
Gus time during the past few weeks.

views Of what is called the Balance cf

in his last speech, said would come back

From statistics of the Department of

at this rate; we are getting rich, TIE "per

PEELED to sell and go to the city, it is de-
feet in his brain. When Hartman lived
he bought for King Edward $4,000, 900
of gilt edge American stocks; the Eng
lish and Dutch are buying out oil lands
in Oklahoma, and if we had some official
whose duty it was to find out what stock
is owned by foreigners in America, we
would no doubt be astonished at the
amount. III one of my previous letters
asserted that 81 ,O0O, 900 acres of our land
was owned by foreigners. The Scully
estate, for instance, embraces in Mssou-
ri, Illinois and Kansas, 1900, 900 acres
The dividends in stock of all kinds, and
the rents from lands go to Europe every
ear, in the shape of wheat or gold, and
the department calls these exports. Tell
me how much of this ever comes back
in gold; except, perhaps, to buy up more
stock, or land. If all this be true, some

seek a remedy; if not true, show it up to
be false. The question involves more

did not see the train until it was bearing

May be day late waiting for the
election returns.
A Republican nomination in Nor
gan County is not always equivalent
to an election.
Politics continues to be somewhat
problematical.
1t continues considerably cry and
dusty considering the soaking Of
Tuesdays election.
Wednesday was a fine day tor a
trip up Salt Creek, and some of them
were trying it, but don't know where
they got their liquor, probably some
they had left over from treating "the

Snorgrass is the only candidate
elected by Democratic votes. The
Dems. elected by Republican votes
should try to be good, and m you
you can't be good, be just as good
as you can.
1t would appear as il a good many
Republican voters of Morgan County
accepted the advice rendered by the
REPUBLICAN last week, and cut out
the "yellow dog" part of their tick
ct. They came pretty near cutting
too deep, yet, they might have cut
little more off, without hurting the
party. The "yellow dog"..is off COL
or, and we hope hereafter will be
kept off the Republican ticket.

1t looks like nearly the whole coun-
try had gone crazy i. e. Democratic.
New York, Ohio. Indiana, Oklahoma,
Texas and Arkansas all getting into
the Democratic column. St. Louis
went Republican and hell-bent wet.
Kansas City and Jackson county over
whelmingly Democratic. Missouri
elects eight REPUBLICAN congressman.
Reed won over Francis for U. S.
Senator, and if the legislature is Dem
ocratic on joint ballot, he will sue
ceed Senator Warner. Mckinley is
the Republican nominee for U. S.
Senator. The National House of
Representatives is Democratic, which
means the election of Champ Clark as
speaker, and retires Uncle Joe Cam
non. One small rift in the cloud is
the election of B. w. Hooper COVER
nor of Tennessee over Bob Taylor.
