A LACE AND SILK CONVECTION Net top lace flouncing, draped over rainbow taffeta, is the material used
 to make this picture gown. A chimi- sette of plain net and square cornered lapels of net, edged with the silk, partially fill the V-shaped space in front, and gird1e and bows of cerise velvet give the essential color accents
 The skirt is slashed at the lower edge in front the space being filled
 with p1eated frilling of the silk. This frilling, in narrower width, edges the skirt. s g4

ROAD BUTCHERS At WORK.
Graders Are Filling Country Highway
Wit, loose Sod.

Now is the time for the average road
boss to get out with four horse grad
er and pile a great heap Of loose sod in
the center OF an ordinarily good road,
SO as to make 1t practically impossible.
This thing is being done over many
miles OF highway turnout this coun-
try, and should be prohibited by law.
It is sometimes well to grade road
with a grader, so as to give 1t pitch
enough to shed water, but the grader
blade should be lifted and the machine
run back over the road so as to scrape
the loose sod to one side and leave
nothing but soft dirt in the center.
The work that is being done just
now all over this county is an actual
detriment to the country roads. and the
men who do it should be known In
their communities as road butchers
Furthermore the crowning of road
can be overdone. A very slight pitch
to each side Is enough as the ordinary
road drag tends to build up the CEN
ter: in fact if the road drag were used
more and the grader far less. we
would have much better roads at less
expense.

new PROGRESSIVE
Brady and Hopkins Among Re-
publican Candidates.
Campbell, Anthony and MUIR
dock Are RenOminated.

From reports received in Topeka hop
kins. Campbell, Brady, Murdoch and
Anthony were successful in the con-
! tests for the congressional fights for the
Republican nomination Anthony's ma
jority is probably next to the largest
of the congressman asking renomina-
tion of the Republicans. Murdoch got
the largest beating Bun Adams by
1900 majority. Anthonys denomination
f1gures give him a majority of nearly
1000. Brady and Murdoch were the
only progressives nominated by the Re
publicans.
Campbell's majority over Gray will be
nearly as large the one given An
thony and his supporters claim it will
equal Murdock'S in the Eighth. Hop
l11ns has a lead of over a thousand votes
but the returns are incomplete. How
ever, the precincts yet to be heard from
are not expected to show a vote large
enough to change the result.
Present Indications show the Re-
publican candidates for congress to
be follows:
First district Anthony.
Second district=Brady.
Third diStrict-Campbe
Fourth DISQUALIFICATION.
Fifth diStrict-Rees.
Sixth district-You
Seventh district-Hopkins.
Eighth Observation-Disclosures
On account of the late work of
counting the Democratic ballots it is
impossible to determine who are the
Democratic candidates for congress
Taggart, of course, is a candidate to
succeed himself Medley is without
opposition in the Seventh. In the Fifth
the fight is hot between Alex Andreen
and Guy Helvering. Returns from this
contest are coming in so slowly that it
is impossible to say which of these
two men is nominated.
In the Sixth w. E. Connolly is
without opposition.

although most of the delegates to the
third party's first national convention
had started for their homes. Members
of the notification committee appoint
ed by the various state delegations also
remained in the city together with the
members of the progressive national
committee.
The notification committee members
met Colonel Roosevelt and Governor
Johnson of California. the progressive
vice presidential nominee at a recep-
| ton arranged in their honor. The
notification ceremonies actually took
place last evening at the Coliseum
wheI, the two heads of the ticket ap-
peared before the cheering throngs at
the national convention. The mem
bers of the national committee planned
to hold an important meeting, al
though they had been in conference
last night when United States Senator
Joseph NJ. Dixon of Montana was Sc
lected as chairman and o. K. Davis of
tary. Mr.. Davis, who was in charge
of the progressive publicity bureau
during the preconvention campaign,
was general secretary of the national
convention.
Colonel Roosevelt, who repeatedly
expressed his satisfaction at the out
come of the convention, leaves for
New York this afternoon at 1880 p. m
He will rest at Oyster Bay until the
beginning of the campaign when he
will tour all of the western states and
make speeches for The new cause.
while Governor johnson is doing the
same thing in the eastern states.
The progressives launched into their
active campaign plans with a vim.
Some of the state delegates did not
wait until they had returned to their
homes to begin the work of organiza-
ton of their states. The Wisconsin
and other delegations met Immediately
after adjournment and selected a
state chairman and state secretary and
state executive COMMITTEES. In several
cases leaders telegraphed orders before
departing from Chicago for the be-
ginning of active campaign work
Tho national leaders planned today
to go into all the details of crganiza-
ton for the national campaign, incIud-
ing the location of headquarters, the
mapping out of speaking tours by we'll
known progresSiveS, and the subject of
finances. George w. Perkins of New
York and others declared there would
be no trouble in arranging for ade-
quate financial support.
The spirit and enthusiasm generated
during the last three days at the con-
Vention hall were dominant in the
meetings and conferences and every
where were heard expressions of con-
fdence in the outlook of the new par
ty. Miss Jane Adams of Chicago and
other suffragettes vert among those
who expressed more than hope for the
progressives in the fall elections. Many
predicted that the aid of the suf-
fragettes would be one of the biggest
factors in the final determination of
the presidential election.

new WHITE WAY
North Topeka Wants Lights
Across KaW River.
Special Lighting 21s Miles on
Kansas Avenue.

A petition will be presented soon
to the board of city commissioners by
the taxpayers of Moth TGI..ka asking
for great white way from First
street to Gordon street on Kansas
avenue. The new lighting system will
be constructed from the terminus of
the Kansas avenue white way at First
and Kansas avenue, across the Melan
bridge, through North Topeka to the
north end of the business section of
the city.
When completed this will give To-
peka a great white way from Gordon
street to Tenth avenue on Kansas ave-
nue-a distance of IS blocks or two
and a half miles. It will be the most
elaborate and expensive lighting sys-
tenn in the country.
The North Topekans have started a
petition which is being signed willingly
by the taxpayers of the north section
of the city. 1t is their ambition to
have the lights installed before late
fall.
With the North Topeka lights. the
Topeka white way will extend through
Kansas avenue, on West Ninth street
and on East Fourth street
