Young Woman In Paris Writes
Newspaper in Iowa.
Davenport, Feb. 26.—A paper here
is in receipt of a letter from a young
woman In Paris in which she encloses
an advertisement for an American hus
band, a mechanic or a farmer pre
ferred. The letter was written in a
charming and apparently sincere
manner. The letter accompaning the
advertisement has been translated and
reads as follows:
"Paris, Feb. 3, 1906.—Mr., the Mana^
&er: I am a young woman who has
been well brought up unfortunately
my parents were not very rich today
I am a very humble dressmaker, never
theless I have acquired some experi
ence and wish to have a family.
"I know that in your country an
earnest woman who marries an equally
earnest person can accomplish the sav
ing of something for old age, have a
family—love her husband, bring up her
children in right views as I have been
trained, for my father was a marine
officer."

banner bedecked way to the castle,
where the emperor, surrounded by his
family and numerous German princes,
will welcome her. The grandmother of

of Prussia, will drive with her In the
entry into Berlin, instead of the em

minor German royal families, of whom
on these occasions the capital usually
sees from fifty to a hundred.
They and. their gorgeous suites filled
up the boxes at the' gala opera per

the principal places at the banquet in
the great white hall of the castle'last
evening and will form a rich setting of
costumes and uniforms for the wedding
ceremonies ,of which there will be
three, the signing of the marriage con

injuries alleged to have been sustained
in a collision in Lamont last March by

was necessary and he claims that he
sustained other injuries that will in

FAVOR8 8UNDAY SALOONS.
Rev. T. J. Mackay of Omaha Episcopal
Church So Declares Himself.
Omaha, Neb., Feb. 26. A sensation
has been caused here by the pronounc
ed attitude of the Rev. T. J. Mackay,
rector of All Saints' Episcopal church
on the Sunday saloon question. At a
secret meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Civic Federation, Dr.
Mackay appeared before the commit
tee and petitioned for the Sunday op
ening of saloons in Omaha. He said
that he did not think it fair or just to
close the clubs of the poor man, for
the saloon is to the poor man what the
rich man's club is to him, many of the
former having no other place in which
to spend an hour in conversation or
amusement. "Even the Young. Men's
Christian association prohibits games
of all kinds on Sundays and even on
week days offers no place for a poor
man to play a game of cards or to
smoke," said the reverend gentleman.
Mr. Mackay protested against the dis
crimination between classes in the
matter of Sunday closing and contend
ed that as long as clubs are permitted
to sell liquor, saloons should be al
lowed to do the same, that is, quietly,
toth only the side or rear entrances
open. His remarks created a profound
sensation among the members of the
Civic Federation who heard them.

SPRING MILLINERY
WHAT IS IN STORE FOR PRETTY
FEMININITY FOR THE COM
ING SUMMER MONTHS
,-t-' I-. :'"—fl i'irr
Many New Styles In Headgear Are
Very Becoming—Flowers, Laces and
Ribbons Will be Conspicuous Fea
tures of 1906 Bonnets.
1
Surely spring cannot be far distant,
for the spring migration of the millin
ers has commenced. These have be
gun to flock from the hamlet, village
and town to the big city, where they
are recognized as true harbingers of
spring, so much so as the coming of
the robin or bluebird.
The new styles for spring never
were more interesting and becoming.
Even in mere man they arouse an ar
dent enthusiasm. Their probable ef
feot upon susceptible femininity does
not argue we] for the pocketbook of
paterfamilias. In the display rooms of
prominent wholesale houses are dis
closed a glory of headgear over which
a throng of visiting milliners Indulge
In ectastlc praise. In the splendid
array of ^ats formed of dainty textiles
and fancy straws, artistically decorated
with chains of roses, masses of blos
soms and sprays of delicate flowers
one catches a suggestion of blithesome
springtime.
Local Milliner Talks.
A well known milliner says that the
predominating features of the new
headgear would be the great amount
of flowers, laces and ribbons used in
adornment. "Fashion has decreed,'
said she, "that these attractive mater
ials—usually In combination—shall be
employed most liberally in the trim
ming of stylish headgear. Hat shapes
will show' great variety, both as re
gards size and contour. Large, medium
camelarge, medium small and some
real small shapes all come within the
scope of popularity. What is techni
cally called the blocked shape will be
in great demand. This comes in sewn
Tuscan, Dumstable and narrow fancy
braids. Leghorn hats promise to have
a great vogue and there will be a large
number of plateaux used. While the
crowns are of various shapes, the nov
elty seems to be the bowler's crown—
the crown resembling a man's Derby
hat.
Who 8et« Fashions?
The question Is often asked who
really sets the fashions? In millinery
it is known that there are some eight
or ten beautiful women in Paris who
really do set the styles. The designer
thinks them out, plans them and then
has these women don them, \fear them
at some function where they will be
noticeable and the public looks on, ad
mires and imitates. It happens that
these women are not such as are re
ceived In the best society, but their
striking figures and looks make them
good models for styles. They are seen
in the cafes, as well as at the races,
theatres and on the streets.
America does not copy exactly the
French style, for they are considered
too extreme and are never popular.
But the American designer toneB down
the elaborate styles of the French with
some of the jauntlness of the Ameri
can and a style is created which the
American people like.
The story is told of one of the wo
men of the royal family at the races
In Paris whose hat was accidentally
dented in by an umbrella. She did
not notice the dent, but the crowd did,
and it straightway became a feature
of the styles of that season, this par
ticular style of a dent.

confession Orchard Implicated all
those now under arrest and others, In
cluding J. L. Slmpklns. He told the
story of twenty-six murders, the re

to the truth of Orchard's confession
among those who are familiar with the
crimes committed In Idaho and Colo

the Western Federation of Miners. I

confession was made. He told me that
no promises of clemency or reward
have been held out to him by McPar
land or anyone else."
