A special from Waco to the Dallas
Times Herald tells of rumors OF a
= story Of extension of the Texas Cen
tral from Rotan to Roswell. The re-
port says:
Waco, March 9.-One or more
eastern publications state that the
Katy will build from Rotan to Ros-
Well, N. NJ, a distance OF nearly
three hundred miles. This would
make the Texas Central over five
hundred miles long.
1 This report revlves railroad pros
poets for Snyder and leads older cit
4 liens to expect that work will soon
start and that the Central will pro-
bably be built to Snyder by next
fall There has been come significant
movements among railroad men
looking to other connections and
now Il seems almost certain that the
Katy win proceed very soon to
build line from Fort Worth to
estamiord to connect with the Texas
Central. This will put Snyder on
the direct through line from Fort
Worth to Roswell. This road will
traverse country all the way that
now has no railroad and will de-
yelop sections of the finest country
IN Texas.

from persistant rumors a1oat we

skirt Widths.

Much has been heard regarding full
er skirts for suits next season, says
the Dry Goods Economist. The skirt
now being made is a happy medium
between full skirt and the very mar
row one in vogue a year ago. This
will no doubt be the popular width
for fall and winter. 1t is still made
to give the straight, narrow lines. but
has enough fullness to permit Of per.
feet freedom in walking. A few plaits
are introduced in clever manner in
the back, front or sides, but are press.
ed or stitched SO as not to give any
flare.

BORDERS ALWAYS IN FAVOR
AT This Time Much Originality Has
Been Expended In Designs Put
Forth for Popularity.

There is fascination in the summer
bordered materials of nino, cashmere
and marQuisette, and every class of
wolfe or delaine is being made up with
border of much originality and
greater prettiness. All these bordered
stuffs are made with an eye to the de-
sign of the gown and it's style and
purpose, and the result is seen in
many smart and apparently exclusive
costumes.
The skirt may be made in two tiers
of spotted material, each tier having
wide, band of some beautiful pattern,
while the same pattern appears to
form a corselet, the upper part and
sleeves being simply of the spotted
stuff. A taffeta belt gives finishing
touch. The patterned border may APP
pear around the hem Of the skirt and
following the outline Of the deep pam
nier. while the sleeves also are Of the
lowered band, the corsage being hid
den by fichu Of lace.

PostofIices in several cities have
been closed Sundays heretofore. The
Postmaster-Genera has permitted that

dent that local sentiment demanded it.
The closing is now compelled by law.
Postmaster Merritt, of the Washing

the law just enacted, announced that
there will be no mail delivered in
Washington next Sunday or any other
Sunday, and that not even govern
ment departments will be able to get

SEEK ONLY REAL BARGAINS
lndiscriminate Buying Because Things
Are Cheap Is Simply
Silly Error.

The enticements of the stores in
late summer need self-control and
common sense if bargains are to prove
profitable.
There are certain things safe to
buy, others that are waste of money.
Ultra styles are to be avoided, unless
SO perishable that the remaining
weeks Of the season will wear them
out. Buying them for next year is
folly. This is especially true of
hats.
Chiffon, marquisette and crepe de
chine frocks that are simple in style
are a safe purchase. as they are in.
valuable for house and theater
gowns.
kind Of shoe each season, this is a
good time to buy several pairs OF
pumps, tennis shoes and low walking
shoes. They are much reduced and
ones shoe bill can be cut in half by
buying in or seasons.
Summer dress materials are also q
good bargain. There are certain stand
ard materials and designs that are
never out Of style. Irish lace in mar.
row widths, Valenciennes by the
piece and blind embroidery, are al.
ways in order and can be picked up
now cheaply.
This is the harvest time of the eco
nomical housekeeper. Table and bed
linen, kitchen utensils, china, glass,
rugs and carpets are reduced in mid
summer. To buy now means saving
nearly half the value.
One woman who has furniture that
seems far handsomer than her In
CONS warrants. buys it piece at a
time, so she can get something really
good, and does that buying in the on
season. If you have new house to
furnish, now is the time.-Kansas City

Judge Parker. in the course OF hiA
address, said:
Judge Parker took his text from
Governor Wilson's notification speech.
wherein is considered the partnership
between Government and privilege,
pointing out that. the Republican party
could not be expected to break up thu
partnership, which resulted in large
campaign contributions.
Judge Parker's contention that re-
lief could come only from the election
OF Wilson and Marshall and a Demo.
cratic Congress followed an assign.
ment of reasons which, he insisted.
negatived all possibility of relief from
either the Republican or the Progress
sive parties. He was especially
caustic on Roosevelt.
Gov. Thomas r. Marshall in accept
ing the Democratic nomination for
the e-Presidency, made striking
and eloquent address. in part as fol-
lows:
Democrats, like poets. are born. mot
made They are born with the fixed
and unalterable belief that God made
all men. not some men; that all men
are entitled to an honest chance In
life, unhampered and unframed by
law or custom. We may separate In
language, church and state. but we
can never have that social condition
which we call democracy until all men
living In the republic are full, not half,
brothers.
All those who insist that II Is not
the business of government to equal
ixe the cost Of production at home
and abroad to the manufacturer until
II equalizes the difference in the pur-
chase price to the consumer at home
and abroad, who believe that the only
equalization Justi1able in our govern.

tunity. who think that public ONCE is

disgruntled and defeated politicians
are genuine reformers, and who think
that reforms are not born with sore
toes. may vote the Democratic
ticket
I urge all those who are opposed to
special privilege to ally themselves
this year with the historic Democ-
racy. the cornerstone of whose
ediflce is the Declaration Of indie
pendence and the keystone Of which
Is the Golden Rule.

Speaker Clark Extends Thanks

Washington The second session Of
the Sixty-second Congress, which con-

Monday afternoon. Final adjournment
was brought about by the Senate yield

The General Deficiency bill, as
finally accepted by Congress, does not
contain the items paying the four
State claims, nor does it allow an
extra months salary for the Capitol
employees. The bill as passed is a
complete victory for the House. The
Senate yielded to every contention
made by the House after the filibuster
started.

Chamberlain, of Oregon: Martin, Of
Virginia, and Culberson, of Texas, who
led the all-night filibuster in behalf of
their States last Saturday, after con-
ference with their colleagues decided
that to prolong the filibuster would
simply prolong the session Of Con-
gress and that nothing could be ac-
complished by keeping up the fight for
the State claims These Senators
were told that enough of the absentees
could be recalled to make quorum
and then if the House insisted upon
the elimination of the State claims
the Senate would be forced to pass
the General Deficiency bill without
them. After some assurances had
been given that an effort would be
made to give these claims considera-
