Killed an Eagle.

Last Friday large bird was notic-
ed sailing about in the neighborhood
|of James H. Duncan's place, and the
latter thinking the visitor might
'have designs on some of his high
scoring Plymouth Rocks attempted
to get shot at him but without sue
cess. The big bird remained in the
Vicinity, however, and.at night fall his
roosting place was marked and by the
light of a lantern, Mr.. Duncan and
his son took couple of snots at him
with fatal results, the bird proving
to be bald eagle and measured six
feet from tip to tip of his wings.
An eagle probably a mate to the
one killed by j. H. Duncan east OF
town a few days ago, was seen in
that neighborkood Thursday and
boldly came down and carried off a
big fat Plymouth Rock hen from j..
II. Forster's flock, taking it to an
open pasture in sight of the house
where he proceeded to devour IL.

Everybody that IS young enough,
and some persons who are not, ap-
pear to have adopted one Of those
many styles in hairdressing patterned
after the Bobby couture. The Gas
tie bob" made popular by the famous
dancer, requires bare forehead with
the hair drawn back and bob at each
side.
The Bobby couture is youthful look
ing but sometimes unbecoming. Only
the pOssessor of a beautiful brow
looks well with it entirely uncovered
To get over this difficulty the wearing
of a narrow band Of velvet or other
ribbon bound about the forehead has
come into vogue Although not much
may be said in favor OF this particular
style Of hairdress so far as becoming
ness is concerned, we may thank it
for compelling a beautiful finish and
neatness In other styles.
The hair may be waved or curled.
or 1t may be dressed without either,
but whatever else it is, fashion re-
quires that the couture shall be beau
tifuIIy done, and finished looking.
For the more dignified styles In
hairdressing, the French twist, rolled
softly and close to the head. as shown
In the picture given here, is used

rule Of landings on street suits, but
is admirable because 1t corresponds
with the skirt facing. as it should.
The plain, wide belt is Of the serge
also and the sleeves are finished with
cuffs Of it
The sailor collar is made of the tat
feta and stands rather high at the
back. It is protected by white or
candle collar with scallOped edges,
and this is decorated with black hem
stitching, another Of the new-style
features for spring. In the coat, as
in the skirt, most of the fullness is
gathered in at the sides at the waist
line, where It is apparently confined
by the belt.
1t would not be easy to find a more
dependable style in a spring suit than
this. 1t is one of many IL which two
materials are combined. but it is not
always done with such nice balance.
The silk and cloth are of the same
shade and usually in dark colors.
Less practical but very elegant suits
are made in light gray and in tan
color.

If the pretty suit for spring, which
is pictured above, had nothing else
to recommend it but the charm Of sim
plicity, it would still possess the best
OF all attributes of the street dress
But it has also the distinction which
belongs to novelty in design and is
compellingly good to look at.
This is one of a number of new mod
els in which taffeta is combined with
a cloth in making up suits. In this
particular case it is made up with
serge. The skirt is wide and plain,
with most of the fullness disposed at
the sides. The facing. of serge, is
very wide and is set on to the taffeta

FAvORs THE GAS COMPANY
Decides Against Cities of State in
Kansas Natural Case.

Federal Judge Ralph Campbell of
Muskogee, Ok, sitting at Kansas City,
Kas.. made orders recently granting
the Kansas state court receivers Of
the Kansas Natural Gas Company
everything they wanted during the
tendency of their suit to obtain higher
rates.
A temporary Injunction was allowed
prohibiting any of the cities from pro-
ceeding against the order of the pub
lie utilities commission of December
10 granting an increase in gas rates
to twenty-eight cents. The order also
nullified and action that other courts
may have taken in regard to the gas
increase. This invalidates injunctions
already granted by state courts pro-
hibiting the enforcement of the utili-
ties commissions order. In this way
the gas receivers collect under the
commissions order granting an in
crease to twenty-eight cents, while ap-
pealing from that very order in order
to get a higher rate.
A bond of $4,000 was required from
the gas receivers as surety for the de
PENDANT cities in case the federal court
action finally ends in the cities favor.
This court order aboIishes free dis
tribution of gas to the public buildings
and schools in many of the Kansas
cities. This free supply of gas was a
franchise provision, taken instead of
money payment for the use of the
cities streets and alleys. All these
| franchises were made with local dis
| tributing companies, tributaries Of the
Kansas Natural Gas Company. The
| distributing companies are nominally
defendants in the present suit, they
also being restrained from enforcing
any other courts order multiplying the
utilities commissions increase. But
none of these distributing companies
is fighting this increase. They had at
| torneys at the hearing, who took no
part in the argument, but made many
suggestions to the counsel for the gas
| receivers.
