Battle viii Settle Down to Three
Sided One Between Young,
Kenyon and
Funk.

Above was the result CT the vote at
noon today.
DES MONIES. Jan. 2O.--It was cur
rently reported in political circles last
night that the supporters of RI w.
Byers in the senatorial race will scat
Ter on the ballot this noon.
This rumor was general FOLLOWING
meeting of the Byers supporters in
the office OF Mr.. Byers last night.
His strength totals fourteen votes.
II has remained the same except on
the first day of the balloting. when
he received thirteen votes.
1t has been anticipated that Byers
would be among the first to drop out
OF the contest. 1t has been predicted
from the start of the race that the
battle would soon settle to cne be-
tween Kenyon, Funk and Youny.
Feely dropped out Wednesday, Franks
had but one vote yesterday. Garst IS
on the ragged edge" SO to speaE.
apd Byers cannot possibly hope Is
gain sufficiently to warrant his fol-
levers in believing that success viii
attend their efforts. so 1t appears
Just What the distribution of the
Ryers strength win mean to the var.
1cus republican candidates is an un-
Settled question. 1t is known that
among the Byers supporters are two
or three men who will vote for Judge
Kenyon at once The Funk and
Young supporters expect some added
strength too Eventually, however,
1t is expected that the majority Of the
Byers strength will rest with Kenyon.
The balloting yesterday. with Fee.y
out of the contest, resulted in 10
changing of the order of the candi-
dates. Feely's seven votes were dis.
tributed three to Kenyon, three to
Young and one to Garst. Funk. who
expected not less than three votes,
did not get any Of the Feely votes. AS
a result Kenyon is still farther aheai
of Funk Young would have pollei
thirty-four votes but one of his reg II
lar supporters, Senator Saunders, was
absent.

Washington Mourns Morton.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-News of
the death of Paul Morton in New
York made profound impression on
official Washington. He was ySIi
known. When his father the late J..
Sterling Morton, was secretary of ag-
riculture in the cabinet of President
Cleveland, Paul lIorton came to
Washington frequently. He was very
plain and democratic in his comings
and goings and made friends readily.
He appeared frequently before the
committees of congress while he was
identified with the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad to defend the rail
road against attack in legislation
proposals, and always was an interest
ing witness.
AS secretary of the navy he was
very popular personally.
1t was often said of Mr.. Morton
that he semed perfectly at home in
any company he found himself. His
wide personal acquaintance made his
death sincerely mourned in all walks
of official life. But men of high official
rank and of business affairs felt most
keenly the loss of character whose
Influence, it was said many times last
night, always was exerted on the side
of honest and conservative methods
in public life and in business.

TUB DRESSES FOR A DOLLAR
Dainty Frocks in All Sorts of Designs
Are Now Well Within the
Reach of All.

It is astonishing how many dainty
frocks for the summer can be made
these days setting the limit of ex-
penditures at 81, including the pat
terms and threads.
Never before have so many delicate
designs been shown in inexpensive
lawns and ginghams, and the busi-
ness girl should begin now to make
the smart little dresses which she will
wear to the Office during the coming
summer.
Two things should be remembered.
One is that much trimming of any
sort detracts both from the cool ef-
feet of the gown and makes 1t bad to
launder; the second is that however
dainty the very light materials are
they are far less serviceable than a
plaid or a plain buff or blue dress.
AS to the question of expense, be-
gin with the pattern. Choose one Of
the new ones that are capable Of being
carried out in several different fash
ions, with or without the high waist
line or with long or short sleeves and
with or without yoke. Thus for Is
cents you will provide yourself with
a pattern for, several frocks.
Next. few yards Of white null and
some inexpensive lace will make
broad collars and cuffs and fichu or
a dainty pointed yoke, all of which
will serve as trimming. for your
gowns.
Then as to materials. Ginghams,
plain ones, may be purchased as low
as s and 10 cents a yard. A good
quality of lawn in dark colors is
only a cent or two more in price.

VALUE OF IMAGINATION.

Life naturally must be more inter
esting 10 the person of vivid imagina'
ton than to one who lives only for
the tangible things about him and
who fears to dream as his fancy wills
because reality bears heavily upon
him. We do not think that even the
man of affairs would find the indul.
gence of a few day dreams detrimental
to his interests. while to those who
look only upon the serious side OF life
and share only its darker aspects.
few dreams of what perhaps may come
to pass would act as a tonic upon tired
nerves, says the Charleston News and
Courier. Our dreams are often COM
panions to us, and sometimes we find
ourselves moving unconsciously with
them in a world far removed from our
real habitation, but one whose prom
tses seem easy Of fulfillment and
whose delights compensate for some
Of the hardships we may, perhaps, be
called UPON to bear during our waking
hours. The world which is our idea
of happiness, with all its wonder OF
accomplishment and all it's measure of
appreciation-the world in which we
naturally play an important part-who
has not seen its shining sands, and
lofty SUBMITS, and Towering paths.
beckoning, telling us how good 1t Is
to live and defying us to resist its
appealing call? We cannot all gain
its shores and discover long-hidden
secrets, but, at least, We can turn its
promises to our advantage and make
our day dreams GASES, as 1t were, in
the desert spots of life.

It is rather comfortable to hear that
the opinion of experts in the Lake Su
perior region is decidedly adverse to
the view that the supplies of iron ore
at the present rate of increased use
will last only a short time. Those fa-
miliar with the region point out bill
lions of tons in the Cascade range, be-
sides millions proved up in the Neg
aunee, Ishpemig and other ranges to
the west ward of the latter. Possibly
a strict analysis of the prophecy Of
short life for our ore supply would
disclose that it refers only to the ex-
haustion of the Mesaba deposits Even
then they are predicated on the main
tenance of rate of increase in min
ing equal to the exceptional one of the
past two decades. Apart from the cor
rectness of that calculation the fact
is well known hat there are vast de-
posits Of ore yet practically un-
touched.

James H. Collins, writing of "the or
derly German mind" notes that a gen.
Grafton age the chief exports Of Ger
many were philosophy, poetry, music
and emigrants, while today she ships
machinery, chemicals. textiles and
other manufactured products, and the
mere thought of her competition
scares America and has brought Eng
land to the verge of hysteria. How
has this come about? You could
put all Germany, and Pennsyl-
vania to boot, in the state of Texas.
Yet there are upward of 100000 Ger
mans. With scant natural resources,
the Teuton had to think hard and
make the best Of it. Just as in schol.
arly and scientific research, his agri.
cultural and industrial labors have
been intense, methodical, plodding,
thorough. He has taught the world
how to farm. He is supreme in the
economic use of chemicals.

Coat Hanger.

When away from home one very sol.
dom thinks of taking a coat hanger
along, but to prevent the coat from
becoming creased and untidy looking
by being thrown over the back of a
chair an emergency coat hanger may
be readily made. Roll a newspaper
tightly and tie it in the middle with
a stout cord, forming a loop to attach
1t to hook or nail. This is better
than throwing the coat Imply in the
nearest place, and is contrived in a
minute with the materials always at
hand.

IF it is true (as those who make
it their business to know, say it
is) that American women have
less hair than the women of other
lands, then we are compelled to ad-
mire the cleverness with which they
conceal this deficiency. One would
naturally infer that a variety of styles
in hairdressing would be impossible
to them, but this is not the case at
all. BY using switches, chignons,
transformations and the many other
devices of dealers in hair goods, all
the pretty conceits in the changing
fashions in coiffure are copied and
our gentlewomen continue to look to-
day demure, tomorrow vivacious; an
other day finds them with a stately
coiffure and then again they effect
simplicity. No doubt Cleopatra rung
all the changes within her knowledge
or invention in matters of dress to
aid her in earning the greatest trib-
ute paid to her fascinations: age
cannot wither, nor custom stale, her
infinite variety"
Just now we must concern our
selves with suiting our coiffures to
both large and small hats. The new
imports for midsummer are more than
large, one may almost call them enor-
nous.
The large hats require a coiffure
designed to fill in the space under
the brim next the face and head,
otherwise they look grotesque and
