FR0CKS ARE SHORT
SEASONS SKIRTS NOW sENsIRLY
 ABBREVIATED.
Dresses for Debutante Are More Beau. tiful Than Ever-Combination with Silver Are Perhaps the
 Most Popular.

Rumor has it that in Paris the fash Iomable dance frock, which has proved even more acceptable and con Venient than was anticipated, will grow shorter as the season advances. While this rage for the sensibly ab- breviated skirt has not extended to the reception gown nor the at-home frock, it has penetrated in among such stuffs as rose petals and rainbows are made of. No material, no matter how 'diaphanous, need be reserved for the long reception gown; short frocks de- mand all the elegance of the season.
 The debutante's dresses are more beautiful than ever Silver has touched her white frock and rested there so consistently that the combi. nation has almost become a uniform. The typical debutante of the season is in many of her gowns a veritable ice maiden from the Andersen fairy tale. U White satin, pure and simple, has declined in favor; it Is now draped with the inevitable silver gauge and again the same moonE ght effect is produced by silver tulle over crepe meteore.
 q On another elaboration in frosty .coloring Gf coloring it may be called) there are white satin ribbon rosebuds with silver centers on bodice and tu. nic. The sleeves are composed of cords of silver strung with little rib bon roses and like cords depending from the girdle are heavily tasseled with the roses.
 On the white mousseline or ninon of the debutante there appears at times an edge of swans down or white fur in place of the dark fur band on the heavy moire of the older woman. I Countless white and silver effects are to be gained, such as the irides- cent dewdrop pressed into the chiffon fabric. Tiny sequins of silver run along the satin hem which borders the tunic, and again a satin cuirass glittering with liver and then yelled with white mousseline to bring again the youthful simplicity-to conceal an excess of riches.
 Although elaborate to a degree, these gowns were short and they re- tained the crushed girdle of the pro- yertial youthful model and certain simplicity of design marked them as distinctly suited to the young. Tn al most every instance the short frock of this season has reverted to the fuller skirt. somewhat gathered across the back and round the hips, but smooth across the front breadth.

Large Audience Attends
 Public School Exercises

The annual entertain ment ot the school children came off on Wednesday night, and we pay tribute not only to the talent of the little tots, but also to the kindness and patience of the teachers that rendered the even- ing such a pleasureable success. The "Frolic of the Teddy Bears" was the most amusing feature of the bill, and the songs and mar ches of the children were well executed and enthusiastically re- ceived.
 The Senior class gave a play, entitled "The Professor" with George Sampson in the title roll. Bach and every one of the participants read thelr lines well and acted with true dramatic fervor.
 We desire to compliment the young ladies and gentlemen for and exceedingly pleasant and ln- teresting evening.

CONNECTS MADE GOOD FIGHT.
Desperate Men, Seeking Escape from Russian Prison, Responsible for
 Many Deaths.

An attempt at escape was made re gently by a number of convicts in the Russian government prison at Wilma was a desperate affair. A warder entered a call, when four prisoners rushed at him, and killed him with 8 knife They took his keys and revol yer. and released four other convicts The prisoners then dashed along the main corridor, and killed two ward CTS who attempted to stop them, talk ing their revolvers. On reaching the courtyard they shot down a wardeI stationed there, and climbed the prison wall. The sentinel at the gate opened fire on them, killing one and severely wounding another. The survivors got clear of the prison and ran out into the streets. Two of them attacked with daggers the first policeman they met, and inflicted mortal wounds. A short distance further on a second policeman was encountered. A furious fight ensued and the policeman cut down two of the cvnvicts. Both con victs were killed, the first falling at the policemans feet and the second expiring in the courtyard of a neigh boring house to which he just San aged to stagger. The remaining four refugees, pursued by strong force of warders, police and soldiers, sped along a river bank. One of them be came exhausted, but was discovered and shot. The three others continued their flight, making a brief halt 1T some brushwood and endeavoring to hold the pursuers at bay with their revolver fire. They wounded war der, but one of their own nmber was killed by the hot fire which was poured into the bushes. The last two con victs fled still further into the woods which were accordingly surrounded by cordon of troops. Firing was re newed, and one of the convicts was badly wounded. Realizing that he had no chance of escape. he cut his throa' and died. His companion succeeded , in eluding the vigilance of the cordof and escaped.

White Swiss or null is successful material for the covering of the baby pillow when transparency is an ob- ject. Linen, although of 8 sheer qual- ity, will often conceal the colored cover beneath.
 One of the best Swiss pillow covers is sewed up each side and left open at each end, where it is scalloped and provided with eyelets two inches from the extreme edges for ribbons, which hold the back and front together and the rose-colored silk pillow inside

DEMAND FOR LARGE GLASSES
Enormous SpectacIes Approved by Oculists And Are Found of
 Value in Many Cases.

Tt was a good many years since had bought pair of new spectacles," :" said the nearsighted man, land the old ones that I had been wearing all this time were of the old-fashioned sort with small frames and small glasses Oculists nowadays, you know, pre- scribe big glasses, and I had seen plenty such worn by people in the street; but when having resolved to get a pair of new spectacles I came at the opticians to look over the stock size of them.
 Aren't these enormous? I asked
 "'Oh, no,' said the optical man, those are of the average size that we customarily sell. Here are some big ones And he brought out frames so much bigger that by comparison with them the other frames that had looked to me so large seemed now of quite reasonable dimensions.
 "Do people buy these biggest ones?' I asked.
 "FYes,' said the optician, we sell them to hunters, who want a glass that they can't look over when they look up, and to billiard players who want a glass that they can't look un- der when they look down, and we sell them to golf players
 "So now those medium sized frames looked better to me. and I bought a pair, and when in due time 1 went in for the finished glasses they looked all right We tried them on and the optician adjusted the bows, and as he stood back and looked at them, rest ing easily on my nose and with eyes perfectly centered, he regarded them with professional approval
 Now he said, you have got a pair of modern spectacles.'

Women who can wear fiat band around the head and the majority of them can. are substituting this for the heavy coil of hair worn under the hat The ribbon is for evening and makes the coiffure quite brilliant. It carries out the color scheme of the gown The pastel shades, which are com monly considered suitable for the hair, are rarely used. Instead one sees plum purple, royal blue, Burgundy red, plum black, jade green and sap. phire.
 Satin and velvet ribbon are used, also tulle. The oriental style of using this ribbon is to finish it above the ears with gemmed cabochcns.

MARKET, STOCK
 AND RANGES

HAoiSoo OlIy OlOGh anus, May 23, 1910.-Total cattle receipts last week fell below thirty thou sand head, and the spread of prices between the finished cattle. and warmed up kinds was not as pronounced as is due at this season of the year. Prime cattle sold firm all week, and the de- mand for cheap beef is such that the lower grades were readily taken without much decline: Packers are insisting on reduc tlons on the medium priced cat tie, that have been selling under $7 25, but so far have been sat ished to refrain from cutting the price much, because of the free arrival of grass and cake cattle from the South, which latter sell at $500 to $6.5O, and fill the bill for low priced meats. The run today was estimated at 6OOO head early, but totaled 5000 head before the final count was made, account of a big run in the quarantine division. Steers are selling strong to 10 higher, nothing strictly choice included, top $S.15, and bulk of steers in native division at $6,5Oto $79O, a few common steers under $6.OO quarantine steers at $490 to 7.5O. beet fed steers up to $7.70 and corn tec Colorado steers at $S. 10, for one lot. Cows bring $4OO to $6.75, heifers $4.75 to $74O, bulls $425 to $6.5O, veals $6. 50 to $7.5O for best The limi- ted offerings ofstockers and feed CTS are holding steady with re- Ecent declines. and the demand is ample to absorb the supply, stockers at $4.OO to $6.OO, iced CTS $5.25 to$6 20
 Hog supply last week was 52,- 900 head, fairly liberal for this year, but thirty thousand head less than same week last year. Packers are disappointed in the hog runs, and are forced to pay ,tronge. prices th:s month than they had counted on, in fact the market is advacing a little each week, and now stands at the highest point of the month. Run today is 5000 head, market five higher, after an attemt on the part of buyers to get them at steady prices, top $9 621a bulk of sales close up to the top at $e.45 to $e.571a. Light hogs bring up to $9.55, and total spread in prices is notmore than 25 cents. between top and bot tom for all weights, except pigs which bring around S9.25.
 Sheep supply is about normal for this season of the year, and the market is dropping the last week or two. Recent imports of dressed mutton from Australia, and the fact that 1000 carcas- ses are enroute for that port have had a depressing influence, and packers are determined to put the price at figure that will wipe out any profit that might be made on he expected importa- tion. The run is 5000 here today market 15 to 25 lower, lambs worth $7.5O to $9 00, about IS 50 the limit on shorn lambs, wethers worth up to $6.5O, and ewes at $4.5O to $5.S5. Texas muttons are sharply. lower than recent prices, and range from $4.25 to $5.75, goats worth around $3.75. Packers are buy | ing very few goats, but country demand IS strong, and sufficient to take everything offered at the price mentioned.
