WARSHIP RAMMED OLYMPIC
Liner Carried Largest List of Pas
sengers Ever Taken on one
Ship-None Injured.

Southampton. The White Star
liner Olympic, the largest vessel
afloat, bound for New York with more
cabin passengers aboard than have
ever been carried before on one ship
was run down and big hole stove
in her side by the protected British
cruiser, Hawke, in the Solent, of
Cowles. Isle of Wight
The accident was unique in the his
tory of collisions. So far as is known
by the officers of the ship no one was
injured. 1t is said that both vessels
were proceeding in the same direc'
ton, side by side and seemingly al
safe distance apart. Suddenly, the
White Star officials declared, the
Hawke slowed violently around and
its heavy armored stern struck the
Olympic on the starboard quarters,
crushing in it's plates as though they
were paper.

Many Varieties and styles Are Being
Offered-Charming Creation
of White Cloth.

Little people are likely to be care
less about their clothes, and hats es-
pecially are tossed careIessly about,
and unless a hat has been held in re-
serve for a dignified, well-groomed
Homecoming, mother or nurse may
be obliged to go or send to town for
this accessory. There are great
many varieties from which to select
the early fall chapeau. There are
hats of white cloth, or heavy, corded
silk, and of suede. A charming white
cloth hat has a dome-shaped crown,
finished at the bottom with a pleated
cloth band. About this is twisted
white wool cord, ending in large wool
balls. Another style, sure to be be-
coming, is of rough white cloth, with
a band of royal blue velvet, and at
the side a tiny round cluster of bril-
liant red wool berries and green
leaves. A delightful color scheme
this, and every effective. A style
sure to suit the curly-haired girl is of
ecru corded silk, with black and
cerise satin facing. A short, blunt
ecru feather stands up on one side,
while a row of fat buttons, made of
black satin, with cerise rims, trims
the other side.

ROBBERS MADE A LIGHT HAUL
Frightened by Their Own Noises
Burglars Fail to Get Into Safe
Where Currency Was.

Sedan, Kansas. - The Citizens
State bank of Chautauqua, eight miles
south, was robbed at 8 o'clock a.
m. of about $3.50 in silver. The
damage to the bank building and fur
niture will probably reach $1,000. The
robbers entered the bank vault by
tunneling into it from the rear. They
then put charge of nitroglycerin in
to the safe and blew the safe door
clear through the front door of the
vault, knocking the vault door through
the front of the brick building into the
street. No one was aroused by the
explosion and the robbery was not
discovered until morning.
1t is supposed that the noise made
by this explosion frightened the rob-
bers away, for they failed to get in
side the safe, where the currency was
kept, and the only money they got
was in the counter changer that stood
on top of the safe.

missioner, shows that they have a
total of $9S,SS2,S01.16 in deposits.
That is an increase of more than $4,-

TWO SPRING SEASONS IN KANSAS
Put Out New Leaves and
Blossoms.

Hill City, Kansas.-The trees and
shrubs of Hill City are exhibiting a
curious phenomenon this fall by put
ting out new leaves and blossoms as
though it were spring.
Apple and plum trees bloomed few
days ago and lilac bush in tho yard
of B. F. Boston has several fine
blooms. Black walnut, maple and
box elder trees have delicate new
leaves.
The reason for the new foliage
probably is to be found in the con
tinued dry weather during August.
causing the buds to set unusually
early. Then a severe hail storm, Aug.
ust 26, stripped the trees of foliage
and the warm weather of September
caused the winter buds to become
active.

HADLEY BREAKS FIRST ROCK
Pettis County Will Try to Finish
Route Ahead of Others to Gain
Official Title.

Sedalia, Missouri.-In a drizzling
rain Gov. Hadley, heavy sledge in
his hand, broke the first stone for
starting construction work on the
Missouri Capital Cross State High
way. A crowd of several hundred
farmers and townspeople from Sedalia
and Smithton cheered as the sledge
fell again and again upon the heap
of rocks under the governors blows
and work had begun on Pettis coun-
tvs part of the southern route.
Elaborate plans had been made for
the road opening, but, as was the
case two weeks ago, rain marred the
celebration. 1t was decided, however,
not to delay the work any longer.

RECIPROCITY is SHOWED UNDER
Election Showed Decided Victory for
Coservatives-The People
Feared Annexation.

Montreal, Quebec. - The Laurief
government and reciprocity suffered
an overwhelming defeat in the Ca
madam elections.
BY political landslide the Liberal
majority of 43 was swept away, and
the Conservative party attained one
of the heaviest majorities, upwards
of so, that any Canadian party has
ever had.
Spurred on by appeals to patriotism
and the cry that reciprocity was the
entering wedge for annexation, the
Conservatives swept nearly every
thing before them.
The result comes as an unexpected
disaster in the face of the confident
hopes of the government that it would
be sustained on the paramount issue
it had made on reciprocity between
Canada and the United States.

FALL HATS FOR CHILDREN STYLES IN HAIR DRESSING
Smaller Chapeaux Will Necessitate
Radical Changes In the Fashion
ing of Coiffures.

The gradual revival of the small
hat is causing several notifications
in the style of our coiffures The day
of piles upon piles of curls has quite
passed, and 1t is even considered good
style to wear the hair almost fiat, so
long as it is not strained back from
the face. In fact, there are few
women who have always kept to this
fashion Of dressing their hair, and
there is one big dressmaker, noted
for her distinction, who insists upon
her models doing the same, thing
They part their hair in the middle,
take it loosely back from the brow,
and gather it into rather protruding
coil on the crown of the head. A
tortoise she'll pin or two, a silver or
jeweled dagger, or some equally rare
but simple ornament is the only deco
ration allowed with this style of Golf
fure.
In all styles, however, it is now the
right thing to avoid ribbons, jeweled
bands, tulle and all things which sug-
gest the turban. The only people
who will be sorry to see the new fash
ions in this particular detail of the
toilet are the hair dressers, who have
been making fortunes out of false
hair.

To Clean Kid Gloves.

Take little sweet milk and a piece
of white or brown soap. Fold a clean
towel three or four times, spread 1t
over your dress and spread out the
glove smoothly upon 1t. Take a large
piece of white flannel, dip 1t in the
milk, then rub it upon the soap and
rub the glove downward toward the
fingers, holding the wrist OF 1t by the
left hand. Continue this process until
the glove, II white, looks Of dingy
yellow, but, If colored, looks dark and
entirely spoiled. Now let it dry and
then put 1t on your hand, and 1t will
be soft, smooth, glossy and clean.
Take care, however, to omit no part
of the glove in rubbing it and see that
all the soiled parts are thoroughly
cleaned. This process applies only to
white and colored kid gloves. For
black gloves that are soiled, turned
white and otherwise injured, take q
teaspoonful of salad oil, drop a few
drops of ink into it, and rub 1t all over
the gloves with the tip of feather;
then let them dry in the sun. White
kid boots and slippers can also be
cleaned by the first process to lool
las good as new" and black kid boots
and slippers can be restored to their
pristine gloss by the latter method.

HUXMEWELL SUIT IS FILED
PETITION TO DUST CouNciLMEN
GOES TO ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Papers Accompanied by Affidavits
From Mayor and Citizens-To
Go to Supreme Court.

Kansas City, Kansas.-The four
councilmen of Hunnewell who have
disagreed with Mrs. Ella Wilson, the
mayor, are to be put out of office
at once. A petition asking their custer
and a motion asking that they be
just been forwarded by c. w, Trickeet,
special attorney instructed by Gov.
Stubs to investigate the matter. John
e. Dawson, attorney general, will i'm
mediately file the petition in the SUI
preme court of Kansas.
The petition takes up the his
tory of the dispute in Hunnewell. 1t
alleges that the four members of the
council have refused to transact city
business or confirm any appointments,
although she has placed before them
the name of every respected citizen
of the town, including the village
schoolmaster and that the council
men have failed to levy the required
tax and the municipality is without
funds because of this.
The petition is accompanied by an
affidavit from Mrs. Wilson and several
affidavits from the citizens of Hume
well. This suit is the outgrowth of the
visit of the woman mayor to Kansas
City last month. 1t was then deter
mined to give the members of the
council one more chance to confirm
the appointments made by the mayor.
The council refused to do this and the
suit results.
