Admirers of the shepherds check In cloths for tailored suits-and these are many-were given very great variety in models this spring to choose from. Those suits for which small checks were chosen, cut on simple, but carefully thought out lines, proved to be the most successful A great many of them were made with short waisted box coats. A less number had short jackets, and some of the smart est were designs in which semiftting coats figured. Skirts were nearly al- ways plain, moderately wide and somewhat flaring. The advance of the season proved that the suits of shep- herds check received merited ap- preciation. The pretty spring suit be- comes the crisp midsummer suit by variation of the shoes and hats worn with it, and is a paying investment for street wear
 One of them is illustrated here. The perfectl. tailored skirt is plain with moderate flare and cut instep length.

The jacket is among the modest num- Der made with normal waist line, which rises little at the back, where plaits are depended from the belt It is cut in points at the front, is longer than at the back and is shaped by small plaits laid in at each side. The belt terminates at these plaits.
 The shoulders are somewhat long and so are the plain coat sleeves. The flaring turnover collar is cut in three pieces and unusually well adjusted Ball buttons in three sizes are used for fastening and trimming.
 The suit is worn with low shoes and black cloth gaiters, to be changed to white fo1 midsummer wear. The sailor hat, of black taffeta, with collar and border in black and white stripe, is trimmed with small pompons of black feathers with long curving ribs ex- tending from them. White neck ruffs of malines or combinations of white ana black look well with these check suitT.

Smart Costume.

One of the smartest costumes for young women, exhibited on a living model at recent opening, was of very pale tan worsted and mohair mixture, made with short, flare skirt, revealing the new slim black leather pump, guilt less of buckle or bow, and stockings of natural silk. A little coat, button ing high to the throat, was sur mounted by very tall choker collar of white organdie with points reaching up over the cheeks and broad stock of black satin holding it in place. The coat had a belt and plaited coattail at the back. This knowing spring CO.'S tune was completed by tiny black satin hat with slashed sailor brim and a floating veil of black mesh with an allover vinet pattern

Early In the season hats having transparent brims made their appear ance- These brims were fiat and mounted on braid crowns. They were made of malines, net, chiffon or thin crepe. Nearly always, embedded be- tween layers of such airy materials, flowers, with petals spread fiat, added touches of lovely color The effect Is very pretty-and gave the hats i, their distinguishing name-that of halo" hats-the embedded wreaths encircling the head like halo.
 So good an item of art in millinery was destined to outlast the early sea son and to introduce many transpar- ent hats for midsummer The latter are made, crown and all, of the thin fabrics, and brims have grown wider Flower and feather trimmings-but mostly f1owers-are mounted on the outside or underbrim. instead of being embedded in the material.
 A beautiful hat of this character is | shown in the picture. It is of black mallnes made over a frame of fine silk wire. The edge wire and one other are outlined on the underbrim by filter jet. There is an immense pompon of malines at the front with two long jet ornaments thrust in 1t. Nothing could be prettier for midsum- mer wear than this exquisite piece of millinery
 Hemp and leghorn hats, with fac ings of crape on the upper or under brims are among the loveliest offer. ings in dress hats. Light pink crepe is the favorite color and hats of this character are among the best de signed for bridesmaids at June wed dings. One of them is shown in the illustration. IL has crown of hemt and its upper brim covered with crepe stretched smoothly over it, leaving the hemp as 8 facing. It is trimmed

MINING BOOM
 IN ZINC ZONE
PROPERTY IN DISTRICT TURN OUT $3O,oOO IN ORE EACH
 MONTH.
NUMEROUS NEW ENTERPRISES
The Red Cloud Mine Recently Sold at Public Auction Brought
 $66,OOo.
Yellville.-

SAiF
 Twenty carloads of zinc ore were shipped from this district during the month of April, amounting to 600 tons, or 100000 pounds sterling, accord ing to figures just compiled by H. w. Willett, the pioneer ore buyer of the North Arkansas field.
 A conservative estimate of the cash value of last months zinc ore pro- duction is placed at $30000 or S1,000 for each day in the month The pre- vailing price for high grade ore during the month was S65 ton, and $50 is taken as a fair average per ton for the months output Top grades are now worth $75.
 Heavier arrivals of ore than has yet been experienced is the rule at the railroad for shipment Numerous new enterprises have entered the list of active operators recently. The Red Cloud mine recently bought at public sale for $66,000, has passed to the con- trol of Oklahoma operators, who are starting work This mine has 200 ton mill and a tunnel 1000 feet into the mountain, from the headings of which the mill is plentifully supplied.
 The daily arrival of practical mine operators from other fields inquiring for property testify the interest which the Arkansas field is creating abroad The little town of Rush, where the greatest activity is manifest, presents the air of real mining boom town. The fifty or more houses, cabins and shacks are occupied by families of men who are working either for wages or operating in a small way on, .neir own account Not less than 25 tents in the same camp are occupied, while almost daily arrivals of newcomers are camping in wagons and under brush arbors.

No fertilizer tax money has been re- ceived at the state treasury since May j. The total amount received during the first three days of May was S1S7.50, Officials say the decline is partially due to the rush of the fer tiiizer season being ended and partly to the fact that no inspection Of fer tiliIer is being made because of the failure of the legislature to appropriate for the salaries and expenses of ili- speetors. The amount received since Jspuary is approximately $1,5O0 less than during the corresponding period last year.

CONTRACTORS MN
 WRIT IF ERROR
CALDWELL & DRAKE CASE BE FORE UNITED STATES SU-
 PREME COURT.
S25O.0OO DAMAGE IS ASKED
Declares Patterson and Oldham Laws, By Which New Contractors Were
 Authorized Unconstitutional.
Little Rock

Justice Vandevanter of Washington granted a writ of error directing the Arkansas Supreme Court to send to the Supreme Court for review the case in which Caldwell & Drake, con tractors for constructing new capitol at Little Rock, sued state off ctals for damages in being deprived Of possession of the uacompleted building in 1909.
 The contractors assert the Patter- son and Oldham laws, by which new contractors were authorized, are un- constitutional
 The controversy between Caldwell x Drake and former state officials dates back to 1905. although the suit for $250,000, in which the writ of CT TOT was granted was not instituted until 1909. The defendants are George W. Donaghey former governor; John ]. Moore of Helena, Charles L. Thomp- son and H. L. Remmel of Little Rock and R- F. Foster of Cleveland county all members of the Capitol Commis- sion appointed in 1908 The contrac- tors lost the case in the Arkansas Su- preme Court
 The constitution of Arkansas pro- vides that the state cannot be defend ant in a suit and the members of the Capitol Commission were made de. fendants as individuals. One of the principal questions to be decided is whether they, as state officials, were liable for damages resulting from of ficial acts.
 The contract for the construction of the new capitol building was awarded to Caldwell X Drake in 1909. During the session of the 1905 legislature, when an effort was made to secure additional appropriation for carrying on the work, charges of brih- cry were made and a member of the legislature was sent to the peniten- tiary on the charge of accepting a bribe from the contractors

Chiffon figured in large polka dots of contrasting color is used for some very smart looking frocks, but mod els of such pronounced material must be very graceful and conservative of line, and utterly without elaboration A good example of such treatment is a frock of sand color chiffon polka dotted largely in dark blue.

Every effort will be made to thwart the efforts of the Iron Mountain, Rock Island and other railroads, which are asking an injunction from the federal court against the tWo-cent passenger rate. according to members of the Arkansas Railroad Commission.
 When the cases come up at St. US an extension of time to prepare ad- ditional data" Commissioner w. F. Mcknight, member, said. If the extension is refused we shall attempt to have the court grant the injunction on the subsidiary lines only, leaving the two-cent rate in effect on the main lines. We shall fight these cases and the freight cases to the end The tariffs put into effect on the Frisco and the Kansas City Southern are without reason both as to rates and methods. No th~1ugh shipments are made at through rates and this results in many cases A shipment from Little Rock to DeQueen goes at short haul rates over each line that handles it, instead of at through rate for the full distance This makes an increase of 115 per cent
 It is probable that J. P. Streepey, assistant to Attorney General w. l.. Moose, will represent the state at the hearings in St. Paul May 2S Judge Joseph M Hill of Fort Smith, who was chief attorney for the state in the rate litigation several years ago, has declined to take active part in the case He will come to Little Rock to confer with the commission in an ad- visory capacity It is probable that H. NJ. Gregory, rate clerk for the con- mission, will assist in the freight in- junction cases. He will be in St. Louis cn business for the commission next week and may go from there to St Paul.

The state tax commission will mail to all county assessors in the state within few days letter urging them to assess all property in the state, both real and personal, at 50 per cent of it's actual marketable value.
