Presented to the Ladies of the Tri-
Cities by M. & K.

a great deal of interest is being
centered in dresses this season;
street dresses in particular are in good
demand for early season Chief among
the popular materials are serge, broad
cloth, Challis, charmeuse, crepe de
chine and messaline for street wear,
and for evening wear, chiffon and lace
and chaTmeuse.
In suits, strictly tailored garments
seem to have found place of their
own in popular favor. No matter
whether suit business generally is
good or bad, there is always a gen.

cheviOt, velour cloth, Worsted, zibe-

are the popular fabrics.
The revival of the one time famous
boUcle cloth for coats has been hailed
with such delight that the cloth max

market lot of very attractive novel
ties. Cheviot, serge, broadcloth, zibe-
line, vicuna, chinchilla, boulevard vel

Taft is thinking Of offering the gov

If Mr.. Taft makes his proposed Pan

he will offer the post to Colonel Goe

he accepts or not, plans for The Zon,
government. Several positions are to
be filed and do not have to be con-
lirmed by The United states senate. II
is probable that Mr.. Taft Will fill them
before he goes out Of office.
To enable President Taft 10 appoint
Colonel G0ethals major general in

was presented to the grand jury by
Judge Wilbur and may be embodied
in the report Of the jurors, expected
to be returned Thursday.
In the proposed bill Judge Wilbur
seeks to eliminate the stigma that per-
sons are forced TO live on the charity
Of others. He provides in the bill that
a fund be set aside by the county for
the payment of money to mothers un-
able to support themselves and child
ren by having such persons appear be-
fore a court Of justice and be adiudi-
Gated upon the presenting of sufficient
facts to he entitled to support The
fund will be raised by both private
donations ana taxation.
The scholarship fund is TO be used
if the bill is passed in assisting child
ren under u years Of age, who are
forced TO attend school. to secure an
education. The bill, if passed, will
also amend the present law providing
that persons can leave by will only one
third OF their estates to charity. The
bill provides that more than third
of an estate can be given to this fund
