PROMINENT MEN. LOCAL
AND FOREIGN, TO ATTEND
Coming Convention Said to Be The
Most Important i'm History of Or
ganiZatiOn

ganiZation.
Plans are being formulated by the
Chicago board of control to make the
18th annual convention of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress, which will
meet there December 5 to 8, of world
wide interest. President Taft has
promised to speak at one of the ses-
sions on the closing day, and, in ad-
dition, there will be representatives
from practically every irrigated dis
trict on this continent, government
experts, railroad officials, capitalists
and delegates from foreign countries.
Former Judge Charles F. Fishback,
a member of the board of governors,
has interested 80 prominent business
and professional men of Chicago in
the work of the local board of con-
troll, or which he is chairman, and
the cooperation of the people of Chi
cago and the millions tributary to this
great central market is bound to be
a tremendous aid to the movement,
which has for its chief purposes the
saving of forests, storing of flood wa
ters, reclamation of deserts and maK-
ing homes on the land.
THE National Irrigation Congress
will have the support of our public
spirited men," said Judge Fishback,
"and with the assistance of our
friends in other parts of the country
there is every reason to believe that
the coming convention will be the
most important in the history of the
organization"

savage mother, who is quieting her
child, desired to give vent to the love
which was part of her and began a
sort of grooming, thus developing the

HI. FELIERS!
Pipe the Dame Bcgirt in n Loose and
Flowing TrOuscr Skirt


Boston. Mass.-At last the day
has arrived on which women may
wear trousers with the full sanction
and approval of the Partisan fashion
authorities. The famous "trouser
skirt" which caused so much excite
ment in the French capital, has reach
ed America and is being displayed on
a living model at the National Style
Show, opened in Horticultural hall
today by the Ladies' Tailors and
Dressmakers' association of America.
The new garment, declared by its
admirers to combine comfort, con-
venience and beauty, resembles n
princess gown above the waist, but
the lower part of it is a loose and
flowing pair of trousers, reaching
about to the tops of street shoes. 1t
is intended to be worn by business
women, on shopping expeditions and
for the house. one thing in its favor,
wearing such a garment could pass
the Flatiron building, New York, on
the windiest day without fear of the
male rubbernecks who congregate
about that famous corner.
When the .wearer of the trouser
skirt is standing still it resembles u
common skirt, and only when sac
walks does the trousers effect become
noticeable. one of the great advan-
tages is that it does away with petit
coats.

having their cattle dipped according
to the law.
The court upheld the states conten-

by the plaintiffs. declaring that the
quarantine proclamation had been pub
lished according to law and holding
that it was within the power of the
legislature to confer on the state board
of agriculture power to eradicate and
prevent infectious diseases among
livestock.
The contention of the plaintiffs was
that the seizure, dipping and sale of
cattle under the law involved taking
property without due process of law
in that it provides for no notice to
owners of such cattle. The court held
that the act itself was sufficient notice,

Taft Has Encountered During
His TraUels

Kansas City No. Sept 26.-Presi-
dent Taft arrived in Kansas City last
night to address the National Conser-
vation Congress. He had spent a
hurry-up day in southeastern Kansas,
making addresses at eleven of the
prosperous little towns that dot that
section Of the state. The president
was tired, but happy. over the warmth
OF the reception that the progressive
Kansans had given him.
Everywhere the presidential train
was scheduled to stop, and at other
stations where there was but a pause,
great crowds waived a greeting to the
chief executive, and they willingly
brayed the direct rays of a torrid sun
to liste nto him.
The crowds yesterday were the larg-
est the president has faced during any
of his travels. The population of
some of the cities had been swelled to
twice the normal figures. Excursion
trains were run from many directions
and while the day was one of intense
heat, the president often spoke with
the unclouded sun focused directly up
on him and with the perspiration
streaming down his cheeks.
Mr.. Taft, confined himself largely to
the veto and the woolen, free list, and
tariff bills. He gave his hearers to
understand he was ready, and more
than willing. to sign any bills reduc
| ing the tariff if founded upon the re
port of the tariff board. This board

near Broken Arrow, have lost some
800 head of swine in the past week.
They are now looking for the firm and

their loss
Hunt, after receiving an unwarrant-
ed hog cholera scare, purchased a
large quantity of the serum. The
firm in Kansas City who sold him the
medicine, dispatched heir "own vet
erinarian" here to inject the serum
into the swine Over $50 of Hunts
hogs were innoculated and three days
later every hog innoculated was dead.
Every hog not injected with the serum
still lived. Hunt gave the remainder
of the serum to his neighbor, Mes
wander, the veterinarian innoculated
a similar number of the latter's hogs
with the same result.

indictments were quashed in the coun-

morning, when the first of the cases

was made on the grounds that the two
ministers were not taxpayers and that
the Oklahoma statute requires jurors
ito be taxpayers. The court sustained
the motion and the cases were dis

County Clerk Evans and his deputy,
In. X. Jackson, with receiving money
otherwise than provided by law. Fif-
teen indictments charging burglary,
conspiracy and stealing horses are re.
turnable to the district court next Mon.
day. AS they were returned by the
same grand jury the same motion will
be made on the same grounds.
