Greek Letter Societies.
There is an old debate as to whether
on the whole colleges and universities
of the United States would be better
or worse without the Greek letter so
cieties; but participants on both sides
of this debate would no doubt agree
that as to one of the oldest of these so
cieties Phi Beta Kappa there Is no
ground for controversy. Admission to
Phi Beta Kappa is dependent on schol
arship. Only students with the high
est markings are eligible for member
ship, and the Influence of the organiza
tion is unquestionably good. It is In
teresting to note that among the thir

of color. It speaks well for him and It

Modernize Federal ClerKs' Room.
Those who have Investigated the ef
ficiency of clerks In government build
ings believe that from 15 to 20 per
cent, better results could be accom
plished if the clerks were housed in
modern buildings, similar to those pro
Tided by great corporations. The gov
ernment building, planned with refer
ence almost wholly to the exterior,
contains great waste spaces; large
rooms with ' high ceilings, generally
with Inadequate light and ventilation;
pretentious entrances, and flights of
steps which must be wearily climbed.
Comfort and sanitation are sacrificed,
declares the Washington Star, in order
to preserve the classical outlines laid
down by architects hundreds or even
thousands of years ago. Contrast with
this the modern up-to-date building of
a great railroad system, with entrance
on a level with the street; swift ele
vators; offlce-rooms of a convenient
size communicating with each other;
plenty of light, as the building con
sists mainly of steel and plate glass;
good ventilation, and sanitary conveni.

The latest development in wireless
telegraphy is the application of the
system to railroad train operation.
The wireless method has been tried on

gone, was eminently successful. They
are highly enthusiastic and assert be
lief that by the use of the system ac
cidents may be eliminated as far as it

a result. The managers may be over

It has been- a severe season for soci

of any description is fleeing thither to
tone up on the simple life. Next best
to the country house comes the invita

"to get away." People who succeed in
doing It and at the same time getting
away from themselves might tell the

HAYS CITY.
THE hat at the top is a modified helmet of black satin, trimmed with a
band of velvet and a military plume of pale yellow. The turban on the
right is of marabout, in taupe color, with two scarlet wings across the
side. The hat on the left is shirred taffeta, in iridescent tnea of green
and black. Across the crown is one of the new features that curl upward at
the ends. The quill is run through a large rosette of bright green satin.
THE USEFUL OUTER SLEEVE.
Many Ways by Which Contrivance
May Be Made Up.
Now that long sleeves are once
more in, women must resort to outer
sleeves as protection if they are work
ing or writing. This need is often
filled by sleeves of folded handker
chiefs, but the chief objection to them
is that they require too frequent
washing.
Quickly made and convenient pro
tectors can be made from sheets of
stiff writing paper, commercial size.
Use the paper crosswise, fold bacK
the two lower corners about half the
depth of the sheet and turn in the
upper halves and across the top to the
depth of an inch. This gives a firm
surface to hold pins and the turned
back corners enable the cuff to reach
nearly to the elbow on the back of the
arm where the sleeve rubs without
Interfering with the action of the
arm.
These paper cuffs can be used sev
eral times before they need be thrown
away.
Another convenient cuff is made
from white oilcloth. These should be
lone enoueh to reach to the elbow at
the back of the arm and should slope
well below the bend of the arm in
front. Sew in a seam and punch two
small holes on each side of the seam
at the top of the cuff, through which
to pin a small safety pin.
That the safety pin may not ever
be missing, attach one to each cuff
with a short tape. These oilcloth cuffs
can be washed off and have the .ad
vantage of lasting longer than paper,
without needing the washing of mus
lin or handkerchief protectors.
Amethysts for Day Wear.
For day wear amethysts are un
doubtedly the fashion. The really well
dressed woman has sets of these, hat
nins. lone watch chain and brooch to
match. In most of the hat pins the
stone Is elongated or spherical.
There are some of the prettiest long
chains in which the amethysts are cut
square and quite flat, and the links of
the chain are of gold and about a half
inch in length. This is a smart de
sign and looks equally well when worn
with either a tailored or lingerie waist.
Lanis lazuli is also popular and be-
comins for brooches. Large square
or diamond-shaped ones, set in silver,
are very stylish, worn at the throat to
hold one's jabot in place.
For Clammy Hands.
A eooa cure for that trying ailment.
hands that are clammy or perspire, is
to keep on your dressing table a small
cheesecloth bag filled with one part
borax and three parts starch. This if
dusted over the palms of the hands
when they feel sticky will quickly
check the moisture.
Another help Is to keep a bottle of
alcohol in a convenient place and wipe
off the hands with it several times a
day.
The Tulle Scarf.
Fashionable women are seen at the
theaters and restaurants wearing a
scarf of black tulle wound around the
throat and left to float about the
shoulders. It may be quite unorna
mented or embroidered with gold
thread or precious stones.
Return of Huge Plumes.
We have had choppy little feathers
and queer wings and birds on our hats
for some time, and the huge, graceful
plume has been in the background. It
now returns to its own.
It Is being used on the first spring
hats and on the attractive midseason
hats, which are sometimes prettier
than all the others put together.
The plume is the only, trimming. It
Is wide and thick, extra long and has
all the natural curl which makes its
beauty. .
UgTy Hands in Evidence.
To keep the ' hands smooth and
white soak them in sweet almond oil
every night. Pour the oil In a bowl
and immerse the hands for several
minutes. Wipe gently with a soft
towel and draw on loose white gloves
for sleeping.
To Smooth Photos.
Every tome photographer will wel
come the slightly heated flatiron and
newly covered ironing board to smooth
prints that are curled from the devel
oping process, instead of the knife or
ruler's edge, by which method they are
so readily torn or cut.

SHAWLS NOW THE FASHION.
Made of Crepe and Silk, They Are
Seen Everywhere.
One who.ls In Paris writes that the
fashion of the day is for shawls made
of crepe and silk. They are worn in
Highland fashion, with -the right end
thrown over the left shoulder.
All edges are heavily fringed and
there is a lovely border in rich colors.
These are worn by women who are
driving, by those sitting in boxes at
the theater and by those wearing
smart one piece costumes at after
noon affairs.
The best ones are in cream, In
white and in black, but all have the
colored border.
The most desired shawl is one of
real Chinese crepe. These come in
many colors, with heavy embroidery
and a deep, thick silk fringe.
This has slucceeded the Spanish
shawl, which began the popularity.
Just why this fashion, came about
no one knows. If it had begun in
London the reason would be simple,
because Edward VII. revived his
mother's custom this Christmas of
sending out half a hundred Indian
shawls as gifts to his friends.
DRESS FOR YOUNG GIRL
Here is a useful but smart dress,
which is made up in cedar-green
Amazon . cloth. The plain skirt Is
plaited, a box-plait is formed down
center of front, with other plaits turn
ing from it. The bodice has a yoke
and cuffs of piece lace, with straps
of material laid on as trimming. A
slight fullness is gathered in the cen
ter front of bodice, and set to the
yoke under a strap. A waistbelt of
silk is worn.
Materials required: Seven yards 18
Inches wide, one yard lace, one-half
yard silk.
A Safe Sleeve.
One of the best new sleeves, and al
ready being put into some of the se
vere shirtwaists, is a plain leg-o'-mut-ton
with very little fullness at the top,
and with none below.
Although there is a plain shirtwaist
cuff, the sleeve Is put into It without
gathers, which Is "snappy" and corre
sponds with the long, simple lines of
the accepted models in shirtwaists and
gowns.
Nw Idea for Book Markers.
One of the latest crazes In fancy
needlework is embroidering Biblical
emblems upon ribbons for book mark
ers. This work is done with tinsel
thread and many are venturing a pace
ahead in making belts in the same
manner and also embroidering the
ends of satin ties in the odd though"
graceful patterns. '

Strings are being worn on hats and

ONE HUNDRED CREEKS, HALF
BREEDS, ARE HOSTILE.
TEN OF THEM WERE CAPTURED
Situation More Critical Than Appears
On Surface Those Who Live
Near Hickory Ground Are
- in Danger. .
Oklahoma City. The state 'militia
are invading the hilly and wooded
districts of the Creek Nation, search
ing for the scattered Snakes who un
til yesterday, offered an organized re
sistance to state authority and im
pressed their resistance by killing
two officers who sought Thursday
evening to serve a warrant on Chitti
Harjo, their counsellor and leader,
charging him with conspiracy against
the government.
Only one engagement has taken
place during the day. This was at 1
p. m., near the home of Harjo, and
was participated in by a posse in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Frank Jones.
One Indian is believed to have been
killed and his body cremated in his
house that Indians fired during the
fight. Frank Jones late last night re
ported to Checotah that he believed
his posse has surrounded the band led
by Harjo and this led to a report that
the leader was killed in today's fight.
This report is unconfirmed, however,
but Harjo has not been found during
the day.
Ten Are Captured.
Ten Indians were taken by the mili
tia early today, among them Little
Tiger, a sub-chief; Datey Larney, Jim
mie Roe, W. E. Taykor, Tom Jeffries,
John Lewis, Abe Burgess and Simla
Harjo, who is not related to Chitti
Harjo. Most of them were heavily
armed. 1
A dispatch from Checotah last night
says that the house burned near Hick
ory Ground yesterday was that of
Chitti Hargo, and that it was burned
by Indians to detract the attention of
the officers from the fight that was
in progress near there. These facts
were related by Deputy Sheriff Frank
Jones and Frank Smith of Chekota,
who came home last night to get more
ammunition. No Indians were shot in
the fight and none were burned in the
house.
Herman Odom's Funeral.
One of the largest crowds ever con
gregated in the little town of Checotah
attended the funeral of Herman
Odom, the 23-year-old officer who was
killed in a fight at the home of Crazy
Snake, Chitti Harjo, Thunsday night.
Every business house was closed for
an hour. Services were conducted at
the Baptist church by the Rev. D. E.
Millechamp', and the Woodmen of the
World attended in a body.
The body of Edw. Baum, who was
killed in the fight, was shipped to Ft.
Smith for interment.
Harjo Surrounded.
Oklahoma City. Chitti Harjo is
surrounded in the North Canadian
bottoms near Pierce, according to a
dispatch from Henryetta at 11 o'clock
last night, and an effort to effect his
capture will be made early this morn
ing. State officers accompanied a de
tachment of the militia from Camp
Hickory Ground last night, leaving
the camp at dark. They expect to
reach Pierce's, a distance of fifteen
miles, by midnight and there join
posses of county and state officers in
plans for the morning attack. The
Checotah posse concluded late last
night to rest until early this morning
and start the march to Pierce early.
ROBBERS LOOT STORES.
Trenton, Mo. Every road within a
radius of fifteen miles of this city is
being watched in an effort to capture'
the last of the trio of robbers who
looted a number otistores in Spickard,
twelve miles north of here, and later
seriously wounded Marshal George
Caraway in a fight at Jamesport. Two
of the men have been captured and
are now in the Gallatin jail. One of
them is wounded and may not recover.
Their identity has not been larned.
The fight at Jamesport occurred
when the robbers got off a freight
train there after leaving Spickard on a
hand cad, which they ditched a few
miles north of here. A pesse was or
ganized after Caraway had been ehot
and after a short chase a battle en
sued with the bandidts, and two were
caught. The third man was surround
ed and his capture seemed certain,
but he made his escape.
Money and jewelry to the extent of
five hundred dollars was secured by
the robbers, but most of it has been
recovered.
Attempt Made to Assault Roosevelt.
London A dispatch to the Standard
from Horta says that when the steam
er Hamburg arrived It was learned
that an attempt had been made aboard
to assault Colonel Roosevelt, but that
it was frustrated and his would-be
assailant placed in .irons. With the
exception of one or two days, when
the sea was a little rough, the Ham
burg, which arrived here today, had
pleasant weather from New York.
The Hamburg has left here for Gib

Bakery Blown up With Dynamite.
A bakery at Dunkirk, ten miles north
west of Pittsburg, was dynamited and
the building completely wrecked. No
one was in the building at the time,
though it had just been completed. A
building was wrecked in a similar
manner at Breezy Hill coal camp, near
Dunkirk. It is believed the same per
son is responsible for both outrages.
No clear reason for the crime has been
found.
Keep the Kansas Schools. At the
meeting of the North' Central Associa
tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools
held at Chicago, forty schools were
dropped from the accredited list for
inefficiency, insanitation and other
violations of the rules, and 123 schools
were added. Michigan took the high
mark for new credits, securing twenty
two; Indiana was second. Kansas,
North Dakota and Colorado were the
only states in which schools were not
dropped.
Meeting of State Teachers. The an
nual meeting of the State Teachers'
association will be held in Topeka the
last Thursday and Friday in October.
This date was fixed by the . executive
committee of the association which
held a meeting recently in the office
of State Superintendent F. E. Fair
child. The association at . its last
meeting during the holidays voted to
fix the date earlier in the fall, but left
the selection of the actual dates to
the executive committee.
Applicants Lacking Here Governor
Stubbs has a large number of appoint
ments that are going begging. They
are all cases of the offices hunting
the men. A great convention is to be
held at Guthrie, Okla., on May 5 and
6. The attendance will be from every
state in the union. The occasion is
the meeting of the "national commis
sion on country life." Governor Stubbs
is asked to appoint a representative
delegation of Kansas citizens to at
tend this convention, but there are no
applicants for this job.
Will Test New Law. The druggists
of Kansas have decided to test the
new prohibition law which forbids
them selling alcohol for medicinal,
scientific and mechanical purposes.
Sumner county has been selected as
the place to fire the first gun against
the new law. As soon as the law
takes effect the druggists say that ar
rangements have been made for the
probate judge of Sumner county to de
fy it by issuing a druggist's permit un
der the old law. The new law wiped
out the old permit law. That will
bring the thing to a focus at once.
Farmers Have No Old Wheat. It is
the unanimous opinion of the seventy
five millers who attended a meeting
of the association of Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska and Oklahoma at Wich
ita, that not 5 per cent of the old
wheat crop is now in the hands of the
farmers, or is yet to be put on the
market from any source. In a large
majority of cases the millers say the
old wheat still being held will not
amount to even 5 per cent and in some
sections, especially in the great wheat
producing counties of Kansas and Ne
braska, practically no wheat is in the
hands of the producers.

Saunders of Junction City, who ha?

to work, but ill health lately made him
change his mind.
Won't Publish Journal Until July.
Notwithstanding the efforts of Will
Beck, chief clerk of the last house, to

journal, it will not be published until
after the end of the fiscal year, which
will be June 30. The state printing

Pay for Prisoners' Keep. State Au
ditor Trapp of Oklahoma issued a war
rant for $48,685.80 payable to Kansas
for the care of Oklahoma prisoners in

Declare War on House Fly. The
next move on the part of the state
board of health will be to declare war
on that common pest, the house fly.
According to Secretary Crumbine this
insignificant little old house fly is
not only a pest and a nuisance but it
Is a menace to health and life. It has
been proved beyon'd a doubt that the
fly is responsible in a very large de
gree for spreading the germs -of-the
diseases of typhoid fever and tuber
culosis, just as the mosquito has been
blamed for the spread of malaria.
Railroad Valuations Remain Same.
Kansas will make no physical valua
tion of its railroads during the next
two years. The legislature appropriat
ed no money for that purpose. Gover
nor Stubbs 'and the state board of rail
road commissioners locked horns on
the proposition. The governor insist
ed on the state making a valuation.
The railroad commission declared it
was a useless waste of public funds.
The lower house sided in with the
governor and passed a bill appropriat
ing $120,000 for that purpose. The
senate sided in with the railroad
board and defeated the appropriation.
Governor Stubbs also failed in his at
tempt to secure a public utilities law,
patterned after the New York and
Wisconsin laws. This proposition
was not discussed much on the stump
during the political campaign last fall
and when the governor sprung it on
the legislature it was new to the peo
ple. Kansas is trying, to encourage
the development of utilities, especially
interurban lines. This bill scared peo
ple engaged in those enterprises. The
farmers also became exercised over
the idea of having their local tele
phone companies supervised by a
state board at Topeka. It was not dif
ficult, therefore, to arounse the leg
islature against the bill.
Insists He Should Have $21,000.
State Treasurer Mark' Tulley is not
reconciled yet to the action of Gover
nor Stubbs In vetoing the item trans
ferring $21,000 from the general fund
to the state school fund. Tulley says
the books showing the assets of the
state school fund carry a lie on their
face; they show that the fund has
$121,000 more money or bonds in it
than it really has; that there is no
sion when Governor Stubbs vetoed
ledger; that the state should wipe it
out by making the school fund whole.
The only way it can be done, he says,
is to appropriate money out of the
general fund. The constitution says
that the school fund shall never be
diminished: It has been diminished
to the extent of $121,000, of which
sum $100,000 represents bonds which
the city of Lawrence has got out of
paying and $21,000 bonds which have
been declared fraudulent. The treas
urer had the whole amount in the
item at first, but cut out the Lawrence
$100,000 because a bill was pending in
the legislature to still make Lawrence
pay that debt. That bill failed. The
bill for the $21,000 item went through
both houses without a dissenting vote
and had the legislature been in ses
sion when Governor Stubbs vetoed
the item the treasurer believes that
the item would have been passed over
the veto. "It is my desire to clean
up the records and make them state
the truth," said the treasurer. "I don't
believe in carrying a lie on the state
ledger. I hope the next legislature
will make the necessary appropria
tions to make the school fund
whole."

Eczema on Hand, Arms, Legs andJ
Face It Was Something Terrible.
Complete Cure by Cuticura.
"About fifteen pr eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my
hand. It burned and itched so much,
that I was compelled to show It to a.
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease. increased and went up. my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something:
terrible. I went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema.
His medicine checked the advance of
the disease, but no further. I finally
concluded to try the Cuticura Reme
dies and found relief in the first trial.
I continued until I was completely
cured from the disease, and I have
not been troubled since. C. Burkhart,.

"If the window had been eight feet
from the ground," pouted the young:
wife, "instead of eight stories, I'd have
thrown myself out when you quarreled
with me. Then you'd have had to be sweet
to me when you picked me up. A lot
of wives attempt suicide, they say. Just
to be petted when they come to."
"Yes," said he, "but sometimes they
don't come to. remember."
