Many Blanks Nc Good

Assessor of Incomes William
Landraint was in the city last
Saturday for the purpose of as
sisting people in making out
their income tax blanks. A
large percentage of those in th e
city having incoma in excess of
$500 nave aiready flied their
blanks but Mr.. Landraint states
that at least 40 per cent are not
worth the paper they are writ
ten on and that new blanks will
have to De made out again. A
good many seemed to be con-
fused when they came to max
ing out the blanks and the re-
suit is that they will have to be
made out again.

Almost a New Set Of Officers
Chosen by City Council

The regular annual meeting of the
council was held at the council cham
bers on Tuesday evening of this week
and proved to be one of the interest
ing meetings of the year, large
audience being in attendance at the
meeting.
The meeting was called to order
by Mayor HI. Fl. Peavey who in a
brief talk outlined the work to be
done during the coming year. Mr..
Peavey urged cooperation and har-
mony in all work done for the city.

was many surprises in store for every
one. For the Office of clerk there

being given to L. N. Clausen. On
the second informal ballot Mr.. Clau-
sen received 7 votes and Mr.. Axel-

his election was complete surprise
to everyone.

candidates. Gideon Chauvin how
ever, was awarded the place, receiv-
ing s votes on the End ballot as a

1900 PEOPLE LOSE LIVES
Largest of Ocean Steamers
Strikes Iceberg and Goes
to the Bottom. Only 866
Rescued from Sinking Ship

One of the most appalling marine
disasters of the century occure d the
first of the week when the Titanic,
the largest vessel ahoat, struck an
iceberg off the New Foundland coast
and went to the bottom, carving
with it 1900 hundred passengers.
The Titanic was on her maiden trip
across the ocean and was supposed to
be supreme in its power to victcri-
ously end any battle with the ele-
mentS, but an iceberg was encountered
and the end Of the big floating palace
was torn away and within four hours
after the accident the big ship went
to the bottom of the ocean, carrying
with it hundreds of passengers. Out
of total of 1900 hundred passen-
gers and crew, only about eight hum
dred and sixty six managed to get in
to the life boats and they were later
picked up by the Steamer Carpathia
and are bound for New York and ex-
pect to arrive there some time to-
day.
Had it not .been for the wireless
telegraph the entire 22O0 persons
might have been lying in watery
grave. AS soon as the boat struck
the mountain of ice and it was found
that the big ship was in bad condi-
ton; calls for help were Immediately
sent out. Several steamers, receiving
the call, made for the destination of
the ship, but the first to arrive found
only the life boats filed with persons,
the balance having gone to the bot
tom.
The Titanic struck the iceberg at
1880 Sunday night and sank at 2:2O
Monday morning. The Carpathia
did not arrive for. four hours after
ward. In this accident more lives
were lost than in any other marine
disaster that has ever taken place.

APOSTLE ISLANDS
In MOTION PICTURES
Selig Company to Take Views
of Historic Islands
Work to Be Started This
Summer. Will be a Great
Advertisement.

In all probability the scenery and
historical lore of the Apostle Islands
will be placed before millions OF
people. Some time ago Mr.. Gus
Johnson, proprietor of the Majestic
Theatre at Ashland wrote to the Sc
Jig company requesting them to send
their men to this region this season
to make motion pictures of the seem
cry of the islands. Mr.. Johnson re-
ceived reply to. his letter, asking
that some photographs of the scenery
of the islands be forwarded to the
company and this was done, where
upon Mr.. johnson received another
letter stating that the picture COM
pany thought very. favolably of the
plan and that they would undoubted-
ly send their men. to this region some
time during the summer for the pur-
pose of making few ,ets of films.
The scenery of the Apostle islands
is most beautiful and would show up
well in motion pictures. The show
ing of the pictures in the theatres
throughout the world would be a
great advertisement for this region
and would undoubtedly be the means
of attracting many tourists to this Sec
tion of the1 country during tourist sea-
son.

1t is altogether likely that first
class boxing bout will be pulled off
in the city within a very short time.
Two good matches have already been
made, it is said, and if the sentiment
OF the fight fans seem to warrant it
the bout will take place in this city.
The Washburn Athletic Club have
been asked to stage the bout, which
will be scheduled as ten round go.
This club has put on several exhibi-
tions in the past and all who have
witnessed them have been entirely
satisfied.

Two rival modes are being shown in
which the prevailing movement toward
greater width in skirts is emphasized.
One is in fullness let in by means either
of a plated section or of entire plated
skirt and the other in the panniers or
pannier-like draperies which, although
| they do not add to the actual width at
the foot, produce an appearance of amph-
| tude by the extra width at the hips
There are still a third and fourth
method, namely, the slashing of the skirt
| and the surplice effect. a very good ex-
| ample of two of these treatments is dem
onstrated in the sketch accompanying,
which represents a new model developed
| in crepe meteor
| All of the soft, pliable silks of medium
weights and color are being used for
afternoon street and tea dresses this
| spring, just as they We're under envel-
| oping coats this winter. Gray, brown and
are oftenest selected, but there are also
green and a few shades of red that must
be considered in the reckoning.
Taupe was selected for this model. The
skirt starts at the center back, winds
diagonally down to the center front, drag
ging a bit around the right side, across
the back, side and side front till it loses
itself under the diagonal front Tunic
and bodice. although separated by a
girdle, suggest that they are in one piece
all of the lines being continued unbrok-
emily.
The tunic, fastening diagoanlly in line
with the surplice bodice, has the edge
rolled under In an opposing diagonal line.
Tabs of embroidery are ranged on one
side and of self material on the other
down the diagonal front. The tube sash
is of black satin, knotted at the end and
swung from the girdle to hang just a
trifie to the left of the front. The turn
over collar of null and the long, fitted
sleeves that are cut in with the
bodice are two features that are espe-
cially well favored just now.

all of them particularly pleasant. We
missed connections right and left, and
once we seemed doomed to miss a most
important train on which our baggage, in
Guiding all our hand luggage, had al

WHY Be ANNOYED?
BY RUTH CAMERON.

A very self important young woman
was being discussed by two of her ac-
quaintances.

the two, "for she always rubs me the
wrong way"
Mercy, l don't pay as much attention
to her as all that" laughed the other
woman; "she just amuses me-
IT wouldn't take very much thought,
would it, TO tell which of these two wom-
en- gets the more pleasure and comfort
out of life?
/ think life is a good deal more sub
tectiye than most of us realize. Pain is
subjective: witness how much more you
suffer from the dentists ministrations if
you go to him when you are in d nervous
and apprehensive mood. Pleasure is very
much subjective; IL you have any doubts
of that just repeat some excursion which
YOU took enormous pleasure in as child
We are all in the habit of thinking that
people are happy or unhappy according to
their possessions and their surroundings
but do not believe that l am putting ii
one bit too strongly when / say that
these are really not so large a factor In
determining a persons happiness or un-
happiness as that persons mental view

If you are in the habit of letting people

matter how pleasant the outward cond;-
tons of your life. you will be sure to be
often annoyed and irritated.

enough to be lust amused" by irritating
conditions and trying people, You will be
above the power of circumstances.
And not only do people who have this

SARTORIAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee.

The detachah train is boon to the
elderly matron and quite as much a con-
venience as the separate Jokes and sleeves
we take so much comfort in.
A most simple afternoon gown can be
changed into a very important evening
| toilet with but very little trouble and
practically no time at all
When making up the dress it is very
simple matter to include a short train
| that can be attached as occasion de-
mands. The gown may be entirely fin
ished and will be quite perfect without
| the train.
| The shape of this appendage is matter
of taste. 1t may be round or square at
| the lower edge, or even slant off IL the
| wearer wishes, but it will, of course, ia
per in its upward course
| The width is quite unimportant. The
| train may measure much as twenty
/ four inches across the lower end or as
/ little as twelve.
| The start is usually made from the
waist line under the belt. IL there is one.
and twice down the train at intervals
short loops less than an inch long are
sewn. These are caught to the back OF
the skirt with few strong stitches. The
train should not be caught directly down
to the skirt, because the effect will be
too Stiff-looking. The loops give. little
play, SO the train IdiiS INTO JoiuS SidIt-
fully or hangs straight, according to its
width.
When the wearer is just little round
shouldered and inclined to fall in about
the waist line the train may start two
or three inches above the normal waist
line and be found very becoming, because
1t suggests straight line from the Shout
ders to the hem, the irregular line being
entirely effaced by the soft folds of the
train.
Another pretty fashion is to catch the
train to folded fichu, which may be of
net lace or the dress material. The
fichu passes over the shoulders, crosses
In front and closes at the left at both
sides, as fancied. The train may meet
the fichu at any point between the waist
line and the shoulders, as considered be-
coming.
A frankly elderly woman should at
tach the train at the waist line and let
the point of the fichu fall an inch or SO
is very gracefu-looking and covers a
multitude of defects. The front can take
care of itself. as a rule, but the back
must be taken care of.
Given separate guimpe and a detach-
able train. one can make many changes.
The latter can be worn quite plain for
average occasions, while for something
more important there could be a decora-
ton of lace or embroidery which could
easily be added and removed. The
guimpe, of course, would be in keeping
with the train.
Elderly women do not go out as fire.
quentIy as younger ones. consequently
their wardrobes are less extensive. When,
however, one gown can be made to do
duty for three or four it is certainly
worth attempting.
