NEW STYLES IN HATS
latest Creations Will Be Very ex-

Leading Trimming.

Chicago. ILL.,, Sept Ii. The
National Association of Retail
Milliners is now in session in
this city and some official dope
was handed out today as to
size, shape. color, texture and
prices of women's hats for the
fall and winter. Be assured a
price will be high enough and
with this basis to work from, it
may be stated that moleskins
will be the leading trimming for
the more stylish lid. A small
hat of the peach basket breed
will require forty moleskins at
SIS each.
For women who can not af-
ford the moleskins there is a
clever substitute in heavy Lon
don smoke" velvet. A very
doggy creation OF this type may
be had for 500. London

color. Next is choice is parrot

Horse racing has become the sport
Of kings" as never before in Germany,
the number of soveregns and royal
princes engaging actively in it being
greater than In any other land in
Europe. The king Of Wurtemberg and
Prince Ludwig Of Bavaria own large
racing stables and, though the emper-
or himself is far less interested in rae
ing than military circles would like
him to be, the crown prince, in part
nership with his adiutant, owns and
races stable Of runners. Prince Eitel
Fritz, second son Of the emperor, in
spite Of his weight and steadily grow
ing waistline, recently rode and won
a race for officers Of his regiment,
and Prince Walrod Of Schaumburg-
Lippe has won many races on his own
horses.
The finest cavalier Of them all is,
however, Prince Friedrich Karl Of
Prussia, the 19 year old cousin Of the
emperor and udoubtedly the only
'.royal stable boy in the world. The
young prince, not having attained the
dignity Of stable Of his own. but be-
ing passionate rider, frequently goes
to the racetracks at Hoppegarten and
KarIshorst in the early morning ana
rides the horses in training there. on

Peking, Aug. 81 Not only between
China proper and her dependencies,
but also among the Chinese provinces
themselves, conditions which threaten
disintegration become more and more
serious as the leaders Of the repub-
lican movement fail to reorganize the
government and delay in re-estahlish-
ing central authority. The chaotic
condition Of China is at present such
as would cause widespread dangers,
international as well as domestic, if
the country were not SO favorably iso-
lated from the rest OF the world and
If the people were not of an exceed
ingly peaceful temperament. Their
conflicts are primarily struggles with
money and not with arms.
In the late revolution there were no
battles in which more than a few
thousand men were engaged and the
fighting was generally Of a feeble
character. Bartering usually took the
place of fighting and some Of the sur
renders Of imperialist commanders
were the result OF monetary pay
ments, while their loyalty might have
been retained had the Manchus been
able or willing to provide greater
number of silver taels.
The same means today, it is gem
eraly believed, would save China from
her officials, who, with very few ex-
ceptfons, are men who at one time or
another also held office under the
Manchus. Among these officials those
who are honest suffer from the racial
faAing lack Of moraA courage and
fear to ascspt tile sS-nations loan
with the requirement of foreign CON
troll. and the others are working up
the national opposition because they
desire no supervisor over their system
OF "squeezes."
Meantime Japanese consuls in
southern Manchuria and Russian con-
suls in northern Manchuria and in
the vast territories beyond the Cobb
desert may impose thei~ authority as
they will, and the Chinese officials in
those border countries can obtain but
poor advice and little support from
the cabinet in Picking, whose attention
is concentrated on maintaining its
precarious political position.
In Thibet, to whose sacred city the
British have shown their ability to
penetrate with few hundred men,
many of the Chinese garrisons have
been defeated and driven out, even
from Lhasa itself, though the SOL
diers Of the Lamas are little more
than an alarmed rabble.
The deep-rooted prejudice against
the foreigner and the fear Of him
seems to be the greatest factor con-
tinuing to hold together the provinces
Of China proper, which are jealous
of one another and sectionally un-
friendly. The national government,
being afraid to contract foreign
loan and afraid to impose taxes or
even in some provinces to collect
those instituted by the Manchus, is
unable to purchase authority beyond
the walls Of the capital. Such order
as exists is maintained locally and is
due chiefly to the peacefulness Of the
people.
But there Is, apparently, no organ
lied party with secession or a counter
revolution in mind; nor is there any
foreign pressure on the nation except
in the so-called dependencies, over
which the Chinese have held but nom
inal control for many years. Condi-
tons in these dependencies affect
only few idealists and not the great
uncomprehending Chinese masses.

TO REVIVE DELANo COUNTY.

The people of Faith want the old
county of Delano re-esta blised. That
county was wiped out in the consoll-
dation scheme which eliminated q lot
of western counties about fifteen
years ago, and now that eastern
Meade is being settled by homestead
ers, they want better county facilities.
At present their county seat is over
eighty miles across country from
Faith. and if the 'sgoing is not good
and rail trip is necessary they must
travel almost as far to get to
Chicago, and they do not like such q
situation. What they want is a new
county thirty miles wide and fifty
miles long, which they think is large
enough and naturally. with such a
county organized, Faith whould ex-
pect county seat honors. But in this
they would no doubt find opposition,
as they are located in the extreme
corner of the proposed new county,
and some of the inland towns would
be asking for the same honor.

opinions are cited with great respect

represent no political faction, no
combination, and are court whose
ability and integrity have been ac-
knowledged by courts of other states
as inferior to none. The voters Of
South Dakota will continue in the

THE VETERAN REWARDED

There win be general rejoicing with
the veterans of the Civil war because
they are to receive better recognition at
the hands of the government for ser.
vices rendered during the great strife
OF 1896. The recognition, though
tardy. is appreciated by the survivors
Of that war. and coming as it does at a
time when age and disabilities have rem
dered many Of them incapable of pro.
yiding even the nocessaries of life, it
will be all the more appreciated. The
veterans are entitled to all they can Sc.
cure in the way Of pension increases,
and on one with q single iota of patriot.
ism in their make up will begrudge the
old boys their little stipend. which they
earned at such great cost.

THE COLONEL's CHIEF.

The first of the Roosevelt cam
paigners to show up in this state is
Medill Mccormick of Chicago. who
is n,this city to learn what he can
of the situation, and to learn what is
needed to help along the fortunes Of
the colonel. Mccormick claims that
the Roosevelt vote will at least be
equal to the combined vote for Taft
and La Follette, and that it may ex-
ceec that. but that's his figure up to
the present time. He will be in the
state most of the time up to the pri.
mary election.
