Newest In Suits.

There is a tendency to get away
from the large collar which has been
in vogue for year or more, says the
Dry Goods economist. Many of the
suits will be made with small collars
and fancy revers, in round, square or
pointed shape, which start from the
shoulder and are entirely separate
from the collar A few are made col
larless, but have the trimming inset
to give the effect of collar. While
the tendency during the late fall has
been to favor coats buttoned at the
shoulder. this is not considered good
spring idea and low openings are ex.
pected to be in vogue.

Bananas and cake,

Now "oozing with goo;"

The juice leaking through.

A cup full of beans

WOMAN OF UNDERWORLD
s. KILLED At Ely

AS the result of a drunken
debauch for the past week, Harry
Heller, familiar character about
the saloons in the district is in the
county Jail awaiting a trial for
murder in the first degree and
Jennie Fitzgerald notable
character of the red-light district
is lying in. the morgue awaiting
burial. From what meager
particulars could be gathered of
the murder it appears that Heller
who has been living with the
woman for the past two years and
who has been in an intoxicated
condition for the past week or
more went to the crib of the
woman late Thursday evening
that great wrong had
been done him and proceeded to
pick quarrel with. her. Words
failed to satisfy Hcher's desire to
avcnge the wrong comitted and he
proceeded give the woman a
thrashing in most brutal way.
Not content with having knocked
the woman on the floor Heller
kicked and TRAPPED her with his
feet until she was almost I'M
conscious. The woman died at the
hospital the next day.-Ely

SAFE IN SAN QUENTIN

San Quentin. There John j. should
stay until the very last minute of
his sentence expires and j. B.

given these men by the court falls
far short of what they should

They killed over score of
people. destroyed millions of dollars
worth Of property and turned the
labor organization, they professcd
to serve, into a vehicle of crime.
For this they deserve and should
receive the unstinted condemnation
