Fall Lines Of ChiIdren's Coats.

Buyers are well pleased with the
fall lines of children's coats. The
new materials brought out this season
are so rich in themselves that it re-
quires very little trimming to make
the garments attractive, says the. Dry
Goods Economist. Rich Scotch mix
lures, fancy cheviots an1 double
faced materials are among the sea-
sons novelties which promise to meet
with great success. In the double-face
fabrics the reverse side is frequently
used for the trimming, and is either in
a plaid or striped effect or in a con-
tracing color.

A German expedition which went to
German East Africa to search for d.
nosaurian remains reports the dis
covery of bones larger than any here
tofore exhumed in other parts of the
world. One specimen which has been
secured is a humerus 6 feet 10h
inches in length. This would indicate
thigh bone Of nine feet. Heretofore
the diplodoccus has been considered
the great-granddaddy Of colossal land
animals of all times. But the length
OF the humerus Of the diplodocccus
was only three feet eleven inches. 1t

mentioned, near Whites Island.

fit OF those who have forgotten
We will repeat the facts as told
us by witnesses at the time.
VIM. Weaver had been drinking
that day and met one of the Smith
boys at the dump at Whites Is
land. Bad blood had existed be-
tween The parties for years no a
quarrel was easily started. Weaver
went after the boy following him
to the Smith home, declaring he
would "clean them up" The Smith
family met him In the road near
the house armed with revolvers
and knives. Weaver shot at Mrs
Smith, the bullet striking her arm,
She fell and her husband and the
two older sons fell upon Weaver
and he was cut 50 that he died
several hours later. We were un-
abe 70 spend much time at the
trial but are told the witnesses told
all kinds OF conflicting stories.
One important fact In the case
Is that when Mrs. Smith was shot
her family thought she had been
killed and OF course were wrought
up TO a high pitch. The verdict
met with general approval.

sisted by Attorney Rigney. They
put up a good case, as also did

the defense.
