ton. Its thoroughly practical points
make themselves evident.
Combinations of two materials are
featured in tailored gowns for spring.
A plain cloth skirt with plaid jacket.
or a cross-barred skirt with a plain
coat, or a figured material trimmed
with checks, are bright and pleasing.
Perhaps the best-liked combination of
all is that of black moire silk in bands
and flounces on cloth of a contrasting
color
The draped collar must not go un-
mentioned. 1t lies in loose folds across
the back and is cut sailor-fashion with
pointed ends forming a "V" at the
neck. 1t is among the most striking
and becoming of the touches that
mark the tailored gowns of this sea-
son.
The extremely short jacket and coat
fronts lengthen the appearance of the
figure at the front. BY observing the
different models a selection is possible
that will either lengthen &c shorten
the apparent height of the w&orer.
Altogether. we have not had more
attractive suits than these. But coats
have been more shapely and rather
more difficult to make than the loose
hanging variety which is now the
vogue.

by an older woman. 1t is shape that
may be placed on the head at several
angles, and this widens its field consid-
erably. For the jet hat has the ad-
vantage of appropriateness on both
youthful and elderly heads
The turban with soft crown of
maline and brim of jet, trimmed with
curled peacock feathers, is so smart
and unusual in style that it would ar
rest the attention anywhere. In this,
folded maline follows the outline of
the brim, and the crown is made of
several thicknesses of maline. 1t is a
shape for the youthful wearer. The
placing of the feathers is especially
clever.
One Of the shapes which lifts away
from the left side of the head with it's
crown forming background for the
profile is shown in the third picture.
1t is one of the most successful of
hats. There is bandeau which al.
most amounts to a cap, covered with
frills Of maline. The shape is draped
with net. spangled with tiny jet Sc
quins. An outstanding spray of fine
feathers completes the model.

EUR those who like jet in millinery,
combinations of jet and maline
prove themselves most attractive.
Masses of Inaline absorb and hide the
light, but jet tosses it about, plays
with it necessarily, and this union of
quiet and glitter makes the jet and
'maline hat fascinating There is moth
ing new in the combination; anything
so good does not need to be new, for
it is recommended by more sterling
virtues than mere novelty.
What is new in jet and maline hats
is the manner of combining the two
materials, and the shapes. Just a
glance at the three hats shown in the
picture illustrates how original and
effective the designer can be in us
ing the materials given her.
A dashy, jaunty little hat hints of
the Napoleon shape, with a jet coronet
extending about the head, and a crown
of a half-dozen thicknesses of maline
There is a border of folded maline
softening the outline of the brim and
two brushes or cockades of Jet fur.

Skirts, with all their drapery. cling
rather closely to the figure.
Coats are short in the front and
lengthen more or less toward the
back. Many Of them reach only a
little below the waist line. Most of
them open at the front and are fin
ished with revers. The rolling, or
standing collar, worn with the coat, is
made of fine net or lace and wired to
stay in place.
An original design is portrayed here
which differs in a few particulars
from the majority of suits. 1t is very
practical and quite graceful.
There is in this model a peg-top
skirt, narrow about the feet with a
short tunic skirt over it. The jacket
buttons up the front but may be
opened to the bust line, with oddly
shaped pointed revers finishing it at
the sides. The sleeves are smaller
and longer than in the most popular
of the tailor-made suits There is a
wide frill of lace hanging over the
hand and standing about the neck.
Small pockets are simulated at each
side on the body of the coat.

NO GAME FOR SATURDAY
High School Will Rest in Prepare
ton for Thief River.

Although Edwin Simons, manager
of the high school football team, has
been in communication with at least
ten different towns, he has been UNI
able to secure game for the local
championship aspirants for this
week, and the boys will have to con-
tent themselves in hard practice in
preparation for the Thief River Falls
contest of next week. Coach Bestul
has. been working his players hard
at practice each night and is conf
dent that only Brainerd and Grand
Rapids will offer worthy opposition.
The team is light and fast, forward
passes, perfect interference and
strong formations being strong
points of the aggregation. A good
schedule has been arranged. Season
tickets have been placed on sale,
large number already having been
disposed of.

TO SHOW STUMP DESTROYER.
Machine Will Be Sent Here for Dem.
onstration Purposes.

Within the next few days one of
the Bowden & Cause company's Uni
versal Boring machines, a stump de-
stroying apparatus, will arrive in
Bemidji for demonstration purposes,
according to an announcement made
by Samuel Paquin, secretary to ].
]. Opsahl, this morning. The ma
chine is used for preparing stump
for burning, and is a gasoline en-
CINE driven auger. A hole is dug on
the opposite side of a stump from
which the boring is to be done. Three
or four holes are drilled through the
stump, the shavings falling in the
hole, to which is added little wood.
This is lit and the draft caused by the
drillings makes a fire which COM
pletely destroys any stump in from
three to thirty-six hours. The plan
has been tried out with much sue
cess and it is believed that farmers
of this territory will favor it's adop-

HAMMOND CLUB IS FORMED.
Purpose of Organization to Further
Campaign Of Democratic Candidate

At a we'll attended meeting of
county democrats held in the court
room at the court house last even
ing, it was decided to form Ham
mond club, the purpose of which
will be to further the campaign of
the democratic nominee for the gov
ernorship of Minnesota. A. P. Rit-
chic, chairman of the County Demo-
cratic committee, was named chair
man of the Hammond club; r. e.
Fisher secretary, and H. Mayne STAN
ton, treasurer. A membership conf
mittee of five members was appoint
ed as follows: Thomas Lloyd,
Thomas Symons, Thomas Swinson,
Joseph Harrington and H. Mayne
Stanton. An active campaign for
the election of Hammond will be
carried on throughout the county by
the club. P. j. Russell announced
during the meeting that either Mr..
Hammond or John Lind, former gov
ernor of Minnesota, and the pres
ident's personal envoy to Mexico,
will speak here at a mass meeting in
the near future The meeting will
also be attended by other democratic
,, candidates for state Office.

drawn. The law allows that 1t be
overdrawn to the extent of $95O,0OO.
Oyerdrawn to this amount the rev.
enue fund would still be lacking
about $4,000 of the apportionment,
which would mean that Mr.. Smith
would need to go into the market
and borrow money But revenue is
coming into the state every day.
Probably No Borrowing.
The revenue fund must be over
drawn but borrowing probably will
not be necessary The apportion-
ment from the general school fund
must be sent out to the county treas
urers for distribution to the school
districts by October 26; that for
state aid must be sent out one week
later.
!. The per capita apportiOnment is
made on the even cents. This
made it necessary that the appor-
tionment be $500 this year instead
of 1896, as was planned. II the
higher figure had been used the gen
.eral revenue fund would have been
overdrawn in order to pay it.

WORLD SERIES To START
Eyes Of Baseball World Turn Toward
Philadelphia Where Champion
ship Games Start Tomorrow.
NO PITCHING SELECTIONS MADE

i With the opening of the worlds
series at Philadelphia tomorrow af-
ternoon between the Athletics and
Braves, champions Of the American
and National leagues, respectively,
eyes of the baseball world are turn
ed on the Quaker City. Us, =
Neither Of the opposing managers
has indicated who will be his pitch
ing selection for the opening game,
but majority of the critics believe
Bender, the veteran Indian twirler,
will be Mack's selection, and that he
will be opposed by, James, who they
figure is the best fitted of the Boston
moundsmen to repeat during the
short series if necessary
Manager Stallings says that he has
not yet made up his mind whether
James, Tyler, Rudolph or one of the
other Boston pitchers will be given
the honor of opening the series.
He declared, however, that Deal
will be chosen to fill the berth at the
third base left vacant by the injury
of Smith.
The long line of men and boys
awaiting for the opening of the sale
of tickets at o'clock today presented
a sorry spectacle at daybreak. Many
of them has been in line for three
days, snatching only what sleep they
could by reclining on soap boxes,
camp stools and chairs.
Fully 80 per cent of the nearly g.
600 persons waiting for tickets, it
was estimated, were boys, many of
whom admitted their only object was
to hold their position in the hope of
disposing of it for liberal compen-
sation when the hour for the open

BALL WAS BIG SUCCESS
Firemen's Affair Attended BY More
Than Four Hundred Persons De
partment Members Well Pleased
PURCHASE WINTER CLOTHING

With more than four hundred per-
sons in attendance, the grand ball
of the Bemidjis Volunteer Fire depart
ment given last evening in the new
Battles block, was a great success,
being one Of the most largely attend
ed and enjoyed occasions of its kind
ever given in Bemidji.
The large hall of the fine new
building was deliberately decorated
with autumn leaves, bunting and
flags, the red, white and blue colors
5prettily carrying out the color
scheme. The floor, even though
new, was good and as the dancing
continued, improved
Remfrey's six-piece orchestra pro-
svided music, it's playing meeting with
the entire approval of the dancers.
The orchestra comprised Alden Rem
frey, violinist and leader; Ruth Riley
piano, H. E. Anderson, clarinet, G..
Wright, cornet, F. Grimoldbee,
trombone, and E.. Kittleson, drums.
From a financial standpoint, as
we'll as from that of a social affair,
the dance was a success, the depart
ment clearing at least $3.50 which
will be used in the purchase of para
phernalia for winter fire fighting.
Much credit for the success of the
dance is due to the committees
which had charge Of the arrange
ments and to the members of the de-
partment who assisted in the sale Of
tickets, plans and decorations.
Following the dance splendid
lunch was served free of charge to the
dancers on the second floor of the
building. This was prepared by the
firemen, assisted by their wives.
THE success of the ball is surely
appreciated by every member of the
department. said Scott T. Stewart,
secretary, and chairman of the gen
eral arrangements committee, today.
Eve want to extend hearty vote of
thanks to Mr.. Battles for the use of
the building and his cooperation in
the affair and to Director Remfrey,
the band and the orchestra for their
assistance, and to all others who so
willingly aided u.s.
At the entrance door each lady
was presented with a rose and each
gentleman with carnation. the gift
of Mr.. Battl les Previous to the
dance the band marched through the
streets leading to the ball room.
