GREAT INVESTIGATORS.

The Democrats are great investiga-
tors. But as discoverers they play a
very small role. For this last, how
ever, they are not to be blamed, for
a man should not be condemned for
failing to discover thing where there
is nothing to be found.
What the Democrats should be
blamed for is the great pretense and
bluster and particularly the expense
which attends their Investigations.
They make wonderful start. That
is where and when they are at their
greatest. They never appear as we'll
afterwards. They are much given to
sounding a trumpet before them as
other hypocrites have been known to
do. The public must needs be i'm
pressed; and it is but natural that
ones estimate of the kind Of game to
be hunted is based upon what is
known Of the guns carried. Expert
enced hunters do not provide them
selves with elephant guns when they
are going out to shoot doves. So
the Democrats make sure that the
public learns that elephant guns are
included in the equipment. But the
Democrats are not experienced hunt
srs. Their hunting is only make-be-
isvs.
II IL all very well for start. But

urning from the chase with any

HATS, WINGS AND THINGS.

Mrs. l. Kruschke is home again
from her purchasing trip of fall and
winter millinery, and is busy these
days preparing for the opening, which
will doubtless be early if the weather
continues dull and stormy.
Mrs. Kruschke says that hats are
prettier than ever this season and are
returning to the average types preva-
lent in the days before peach baskets
and Merry Widows made rats a neces-
sity Tailored and street hats for
general wear are all small, while
dress hats are large, many extremely
so. Crowns this year are high, many
extreme, and all having an effect of
height, often produced by the trim
ming.
The leading colors are black and
white, which combination is far ahead,
but coronation purple, king blue,
bright brown, and Paddy green which
is extremely brilliant, are all very
popular.
In materials, felts are to be much
worn, more of these being shown
than for years past. Most of these
are in two tones, crown and brim be-
ing of two distinct colors, red and
blue, purple and green, for instance.
1t is decided change and very at
tractive. Hatter's plush is also very
good and velvet is as great a ia
vorite as ever for dress hats.
There are almost no droop shapes,
the hats roll up and away from the
face or curve in becoming lines, but
the downward tendency so familiar
for the past few seasons is lacking.
There are many round shapes with
high crown that turn up sharply in
the back, or roll to the side or front
IN almost endless variety. The quaint
little bonnets on the poke order such
as we remember in pictures Of our
grandmothers are here this winter
and with a certain type of face are
,ewitching.
Trimmings riot in color, the fancy
oriental bands OF silk and German
own yard, being very pretty. Feath-
n bands, especially Of ostrich feath-
RS will be extensively used. A few
lowers in velvet and wings, with vel
ret and satin will figure in the hats

son who habitually, frequently and
often committed acts in violation of
public law, and against organized
society, and against the people)
TRULY BOYS STAND OFF NEW

DOSE OfDOPE ADMIN
ISTFRfD IN RESORT

A coroner's inquest was held at
the court house Tuesday afternoon to
inquire into the death of Richard
Kneer, which occurred on Sunday,
Aug. 20, in the house occupied by
well known character, Molly Foley.
After the jury had been sworn in the
members Of that body went to the
Prosser undertaking pariors to view
the remains, and upon their return to
the court house County Coroner r. E.
Mcleod gave the oath to the wit
nesses that had been called in the
case.
DR.. John S. Fox was the first called.
He said that about 10 o'clock Sun
day morning he was called to the
house of Molly Foley on Thirteenth
street to attend Richard Kneer, and
found him in bed in an unconscious
condition, breathing heavily and that
he could not be aroused. DIR. Fox or
dered the man taken to the hospital,
which place was reached about twenty
minutes later. The unfortunate man
was put in bed and treatment be-
gan when it was noticed that he was
dying, death occurring in less than
five minutes after that institution had
been reached. A post mortem was
later held and it was found that
practically all the organs in the body
were in normal condition with the
exception of a slight congestion of
the lungs. 1t was evident that the
man had been in a healthy condition
the day previous and that his blood
showed signs of morphine poisoning.
From all appearance it was quite evi-
dent that death had been caused by
either morphine or opium poisoning.
There was no evidence that the man
had ever been addicted to the use of
drugs.
Kate Williams took the stand and
pictured Molly Foley as real bad
character. She had worked for Molly
or different occasions, having the last
time left her service about a month
ago. Molly had once hit her on the
head with a mop, knocked her un-
conscious and then jumped on her,
| causing her to be lame and laid up
| for three months. Molly kept all
kinds of drugs in her house, such as
morphine, valerian, chloroform, ETC.,
and that whenever she got man
in the house that had money in his
possession she put drugs in his beer
or whatever he was drinking and
after he had gone to sleep went
through his pockets and took what
she wanted. The witness knew of
many occasions upon which this had
been done.
The verdict returned by the jury
after the completion of the evidence
was as follows:
An inquisition holden at Silverton
in San Juan county, state of Colorado,
on the 22d day of August, A. D. 1911,
before R. E. Mcleod, coroner of said
county, upon the body of Richard
Kneer, there lying dead, by the jur-
crs whose names are hereunto sub
scribed; said jurors upon their oath
do say "that the death of Richard
Kneer was caused by drug admin
istered by some person or persons in
the house of Molly Foley on the 10Th
or goth day of August.-Silverton

call for start from this town at 3

Atwood's engine was repaired during
the night and conditions appear ia
vorable for the final leg of the re-
markable trip. Atwood says he will
not fly to Boston.

ord for aeroplane flight is hard work
