Parties coming from Logan last
night on No. /, report the death of
the two-year-old son of Sim McFar-
land Of that place.
During the afternoon the body Of
the little fellow was found floating
in a water-trough near the residence
of Mr.. Mcfarland, which Is in the
north part Of town. Physicians were
called and when the train left they
were still working on the body trying
to revive the heart but it was thought
impossible to save the little one.
II is not known how the little child
got into the trough and the family
have the sympathy of the entire ,om-
munity in this tragic ending of life

SPECIAL vENIRE DRAWN

A number OF farmers and business
men from Logan and Nara Visa, were
in town today, being summoned to
appear on special venire necessary
to fill out the regular. II was said
that one fellow up near Logan swan
the river and ran several miles in
order 70 comply with the courts or
der to appear at o'clock this morn
ing. He barely caught the train at
Logan in time TO come here. This is
only one of the many instances where
the people of this county try to do
their part in bringing law-breakers
to justice. We might say that there
are very few of us who would do the
same as this fellow to get the chance
to set on a jury.

OF TWO RECEIVERS
II. u. Nudge and Former Secretary

Named by Court TO Operate
Property


Property
Chicago. April 20.--H. Y. Nudge,
president of the Chicago, Rock Island
Il Pacific Railway company, who, with
Jacob NJ. Dickinson, former secretary
of war. was named receiver Of the
property in the United States district
court here today, will depend on the
present excellent physical condition of
the road and the prosperity which he
thinks is returning TO the country to
rehabilitate the corporation while the
court affords its protection from the
creditors.
lie made this statement TO news
paper men. Continuing, he said:
"A receivership was the only alter
native we had in the circumstances.
Under it we will probably spend more
money on the road than we did in the
previous six months. We have an un-
due proportion Of cars in bad order, "A
fact which assisted in bringing on the
crisis. With increasing general traf-
fic in sight, we will spend more money
on equipment.
81 have absolutely declined TO let
the property run down, which is an
other reason why we ran or were will
ingly conducted into court.
mo better selection than Judge
Dickinson could have been made to
represent the court in the receiver
ship. He has the deciding voice, and
! am sure that there will be no more
drastic economy. Our purpose is up
building, and when the stockholders
realize this am sure they will come
forward with plan Of finance which
will enable the road to rehabilitate il
self out of the prosperity which is hov
ering on the threshold of the coun-
try"
The immediate cause of the receiv-
ership was the maturity of obligations
April 80, aggregating about five mil
lion dollars which the road could not
pay. Among these was "a bill for Sl7,-
900 due the American Steel Foundries
company which, through counsel, made
the application for receiver. Answer
ing the application counsel for the
railroad said;
This defendant believing it to be
its duty to the officers, directors and
stockholders to protect its property
and business and to treat the same as
u trust fund for the security of it's
stockholders and creditors, hereby
consent to the appointment of re-
ceiver for all of its property as pray
ed for"
Ninety-five per cent of the stock of

MILADY OF THE MOTOR CAR

you never can tell what will please the
heart Of the fair lady. Take for in
stance, the creatonne hats; who would
ever suppose that she would dream Of
wearing furniture covering with her
startling, the fact remains! Smart
swagger sweater? No matter how
black-and-white effects and gaily
lowered hats of cretonne dots the
field set aside for sports. Perchance,
1t is because they fit the head SO we'll
that the women who motors, walks,
or golfs favors them.
Not alone the women who loves
sports, but those, too, who find enjoy
ment in less strenuous pleasures fol-
low the call Of the motor car; the mo-
tor car today is necessity, not lux
ury. Again, comfort and style are first
essentials in clothes, giving the woman
who motors to make calls, or merely
for a breath of the great out-of-doors,
loose coats in the smart three-quarter
length and hats in approved sailor and
tricorne shapes.
There were some stunning models
worn at the races last week. One wo-
man, who motored out from town, had
a black-and-white checked velour coat
that attracted considerable attention.
This was belted high in the new En-
pire style, had the latest quarter
length sleeve and the collar and cuffs
were faced with Hague blue velour.
There was also an inner collar of or
CANDY faring over the revers. The
hat was soft leather, with a black-and-
white checked, knitted band that show
ed through the changeable veil of blue
and brown chiffon, hemstitched to-
gether.
Among the other weather-proof top
coats, mottled English worsted in
heather mixtures predominated, anc
there were few two-toned whipcords
and olive coverts with seude belts. The
lnedium-sized sailor hat was favorite
with these coats; usually with the brin
Of black straw and the crown Of taf
feta, satin, or silk beaver.
The number of pongee, shantunl
and Tussah silk coats was really sur
prising for the early season. There il
lno doubt these will be even more popu
lar as the sumer advances. Unlike tn
woolens, they are made full length
Some have such touches as carve'
ivory buttons, but there is no color +

Even the hats are the same materia

4 silk scarfs and tassels.

The taffeta coat is another practi-
cal mode for motoring. Here the loose
Norfolk and three-quarter-length
styles are followed. The silk is usu-
ally dark blue, or black, touched with
mustard at the collar and cuffs.
With the hat and coat, motoring ap
parel practically ceases, for what is
worn under the coat is purely matter
Of choice. The sportwoman dons her
.trig linen Or courduroy skirt and man
Iiish blouse, while the woman motor
ing to see a friend wears a comforta-
bic one-piece dress, Blue taffeta is a
material which shows little dirt and is
well adapted to this purpose. There is
an excellent model shown in dark blue,
Scotch plaid cut in the new Puritan

What d contrast. the trim coats and
modish hats Of the present times are
to the paraphernalia we donned for
the first ride in the little high-seated
red car that puffed and groaned and
died on the hill. The shiny coats, first
cousin to the macintosh, the bulky
bonnets, and especially cut, elastic-shir
red wells were never meant for any
thing more dignifed than a car. How
different the modern costume is! With
smartly tailored separate coat, trim
hat and becoming veil, woman can
motor, call, or even enjoy a stroll on
the beach, content in the fact that she
is conspiciously well-gowned.
The car demands only warmth and
comfort. Aside from these two factors,
the clothing may meet any require
|ment Of the daily life. The devotee Of
the country club may have one Of the
new loose three-quarter coats with
sailor collar and broad sash. An Eng
llish blazer flannel of this type looks
stunning on the golf-links, with var
Inished raffia hat, or, one Of the new
Ifelt shapes, embroidered with wool to
Imatch the stripe. Waterfall silk is an
lother material belonging strictly to
i this season, which is finding favor in
coats for sports and motoring. The
silky, ribbed velour fiber will not COM
bine with any rough-and-ready hat;
therefore, simultaneously with the
vogue Of the fabric, we have soft hats
made of half-inch bias folds of silk
| These folds start at the center of the
crown and wind around and around to
| the outside Of the brim, which is
Il faced with hemp. Such hats are trim
!, med only with a pearl buckle, bead
ornament, or silk tassel; they come u
lwhite, peach blossom pink, or pale
blue, to match the shade Of the water
fall silk. Then, for the motorist or
sports bent, who fancies sweaters
there is a new silk Jersey fabric, {
compromise between a pure woven sill
! and a knitted material. Here, too, ligh
shades are featured. There Is q Goa
Of delicate pink, like frozen ice-cream
