TASTE BARS NARROW SKIRTS.
The Best Dressmakers do Not Recon
mend the Extreme Models.
New York , June C. Skirts of tli
moment are scanty and at their bos
drag about the llgure , but there i
no excuse for their being made coi
splcuously extreme.
Most of the world Is weary of tli
freak fashions which have been cat
"N catured conspicuously the last seven
seasons. Hats even went so far tin
law and order has had to step In ail
limit their size on occasion.
There is no call for the ugly sklr
that some women are wearing no
in the name of Fashion. Skirts ai
scanty they have reached the llm
of narrow width but those made 1
the good dressmakers arc proportlo
cd to the figure which is to wear thei
And for stout persons , to whom tl
scwity skirts arc forbidden , there a
plenty of graceful models which ave
all exaggeration of the figure's do
cioncles.
Doom is continually threatened tl
plaited skirt by many of the host foi
casters of the styles , but the plait
skirt keepsits serene way in spite
all the protests. This skirt is Ame

hangs as straight as the scantier 01
and to drag it into clinging line the
is often a wide band of heavier mati
ial at the bottom. The skirts that n >
plaited or shirred above a wide , pin
band at the bottom are still bei
made'but they are sure to die
early death. By all the laws of grai
a skirt needs more rather than k
fullness at its hem than at the kne
And let it be said right here tl
while noted dressmakers have be
making skirts in which sitting gra
fully and easily was out of the qu
tion , the conservative dressmake
who work for the best trade , linnet
not been reducing their skirtsto t
extreme scantlnrss. Dressmakers w
cater to the richest and most exc
sive class refuse to accept such fa
ions.
Millers Call Experts.

ing process injures Hour was subr
ted by the government In the fedc
court hero today. The governm
will call n number of expert witnes
this week. The millers , also , h
subpoenaed several experts.
Whole Family Nearly Killed.
Plalnvlcw News : Julius Rasn
son's spirited team of drivers becc
frightened on the street about n
Wednesday , and ran away with
buggy , in which were Mr. and J -
Hasmusson. two Httlo daughters
the baby which Mrs. Rasmusscn
in her arms. They ran cast d (
Locust street at n terrific pace
turned the corner north at the Frlo
church , in spite of Mr. Rnsmuss' '
efforts to stop thorn or to keep tl :
from turning The buggy was o
turned ns they turned the corner ,
the occupants were thrown to
ground with great force. All of t.
were more or IOBH Injured , the little
children being to badly hurt that at
first It was thought some of them had
been killed. They were hurried to
Dr. Bunion1 olllco and their wounds
dressed and at this tlmo they are
getting along as well as could be ex
pected. The ti'Hin broke away from
the buggy when It overturned and
ran on a short distance when they
ran Into a telephone pole and were' '
caught. It was a very close call for
the family.
Two Paving Petitions In.
Two. big paving petitions will be
presented to the city council tonight.
If present plans are carried out.
The Fourth street petition , covering
fifteen blocks from the M. & O. tracks
on the north to the Northwestern
tracks at the Junction , was filed the
other day. And George N. Heels stat
ed at noon that ho would have the
Third street petition ready by tonight.
This would cover eighteen blocks ,
from Braasch avenue uptown to the
depot at the Junction.
Something of a puzzle sprang up
over the Fourth street petition. Fourth
street passed forty acres of Pasewalk
estate land that is not In the city lim
its. But the street Is Insldo the limits.
And there Is enough frontage on the
petition , and ion feet to spare , oven
without the Pufeowalk signature , it is
said. The fact that the city ran wat r
mains down this street , and on the
west side of the street , Is considered
a point In favor of the paving.
Following acceptance of the poll-
tlons , the next step would bo the ere-
atlon of new paving districts and the
calling of special bond elections for
the intersections.
The city is limited to voting Ji'O.OOO
bonds a year for intersections. It is
estimated that each intersection costs
less than ? 1.000.
HOW TO LAND FACTORIES.
An Ex-St. Louisan Gives Kansas City
Some. Pointers.
Kansas City Star : Some ideas as
to how to land factories for Kansas
City were suggested this morning b >
a banker who watched St. Louis ob

rectors of the National Reserve bank
There arc live shoe factories in St
Louis that produce five shoes a mln

them , " Doctor Johnston said.
"How's that ? " was asked.
"Go after them. "
"How do you go ? "
"Go with blandishments , halts am
allurements , " the banker said. "Whei
a man goes after fish he selects i
bait that is best considered to niaki
the fish rise. That's the way to flsl
for Kansas City factories.
"Kansas City went out to catcl

Fast Game of Ball Gives Trainmen
Victory by 5-2 Score.
The railroaders' baseball team trim
med the firemen on the race course
diamond in the afternoon by a score 01
5 to 2 in one of the fastest games ever.
The firemen played a strong game ,
but the railroaders had the advantage-
of having better wlelders of the clut >
and scored some juicy two-baggers ,
showing that when their team is well
organized they will be ono of the fast
est aggregations on the local diamond.
Footo and Miller proved a strong bat
tery for the railroad men , and their
support was good. Their error tally
was also much lower than that of the
lire lighters , whose battery , Kellehor
and Bacon , could have been a little
better supported. It was an exciting
game and seemed as if the firemen
wouldbe the victors until the fatal
fifth inning , when the railroads smok-
lc' ' I ed in four runs.
