What If the pictures jua mushroom hat with the wide back brim and the cataract of drooping plumes will be appropriate only with a toilet of ax- actly the right artistic character? One la tempted and succumbs In haste to repent at leisure If repent one does. The sheer silky stuffs are ths most at- tractive fabrics of the season and a large majority of the materials most used for dressy frocks are of this character. Mar- qulsette, allk mousseltne, chiffon cloth and a host of new weaves concerning whose names even the saleafolk are In the fog are being sold In enormous quantities, not only In light colors but tn dark shades as well and for stmpi frocks aa well as for more elaborate ones.

Advantage Wool Voiles. Fur the womaa who wants to follow fashion's edicts by having a very thin sort frock, yet needs something which will re sist hard war and be practical a well as Orally, on of Ui very flu wool vollo U m xmn arib realm fea perhaps the best choice. Some of the soft thin silks of sturdier nature than the transparent silks will give good service, MOUSSELINE AND RIBBON. but a voile, while It may be made dainty enough for formal occasions, may be worn at many times when a silk of the radium type would seem too elaborate. The one-tone fine stripes and checks In the very sheer voiles are particularly well liked and the moat fashionable dressmakers are making up Innumerable frocks In such materials and In the extremely light shades white, ecru, straw color, rose, the deli cate blues and mauves and grays and greens, etc. There are good effects, too. In the two-tone voiles, with fine line stripes and chocks, but these are considered hardly so chic as the one-tone checks and stripes. Several of these thin voile costumes were In hand In the work rooms of one of the most successful dressmakers last week, and were examined with considerable In terest, because of the fashion In which they combined modlahness and utility. Three of them were three-piece models, having skirt, bodice and little ooat, but the bodice In each Instance was chiefly of lace and lingerie material and the coat was a'yvague, fanciful little affair scarcely deserving the name of coat. Borne Smart Models, One model In a delicate hydrangea blue waa in plain voile, trimmed In taffeta silk and dyed diet lace. The skirt had a deep hem of taffeta beaded by a band of blue filet of handsome darned-ln design, and the upper edge of the lace was outlined by a narrow band of the silk, above which were set five other narrow bands at three-quarter-inch Intervals, the group of narrow bands, taken together, achieving a width equal to that of the deep silk hem. At certain repeated figures In the design of the laoa band were set tiny pendent silk tassels of blue and whits. The bodice of dyed fllet was trimmed In bands of silk and little tassels and a very short loose kimono coat of voile, trimmed to match the skirt, and showing almost the entire bodice sleeve of blue filet and creamy Valenciennes, added to the plcturesqueneas of the costume rather than to Its warmth. TUCKED CHIFFON AND BILK. A white chiffon voile In one-tone stripe was trimmed In heavily embroidered white linen and laoa and a clel blue In the same sort of stripe bad a hand made openwork top. Still another chiffon voile was of so faint a gray that It was almost white and was made over a white silk, striped in onion brown. The chiffon waa embroidered in self-tone and touches of several shades of light yellow brown were Introduced In the trimming. Simpler voile frocks than these are nu- meroua. but these descriptions may give some slight idea of the things that are be. Ing done with sheer veilings, ' The other sheer stuffs are often treated i In much the same way as the voiles and morning frocks of dark colored silk moua- sellne or other gausy allk material liked by the Parisian. Strrped stuffs in which one strip Is heavier than tha . other, though both are very thin, are made In designs suggesting foulards, graduated coin dots or conventional deslgna being scattered over the one-tone striped surface. In dark blue and white, brown and white, , etc.. these materials are very popular and , they are usually made up over white, as. for that matter, are a mtinrit. c ts ,heer msterlals, although some hav"f'oun- datlons of self-color, particularly the deli- . cat tints.

The past month has been a busy on with the Visiting Nurses association, about 400 visits having been made among the sick poor of the city. Forty-seven patients were cared for and special nurses were required in a number of cases. During the business hour Mrs. S. R. Town, first president of the association, was made an honorary member of the board of directors for life. The association decided to accept the offer of a local druggist to give them the pro ceeds of his soda fountain If the women would preside the day of the opening, the date of which has not yet been settled. Mrs. E. B. Towle. on of the probation of ficers of the juvenile court, addressed the women, upon Invitation, on th probation work and th value of the visiting com mittee. The nurses frequently come in contact with the work of the court and wished further Information that they might better co-operate. Nebraska Women Boem Temperance. Th revival of temperance Interest among Nebraska women Is beginning to have its effect outside the state aa well as at home. Wlllard temple, that splendid monument to the founder of the Women's Christian Tem perance union, at Chicago, Is among the beneficiaries of their seal. The recent Issue of th Temple Appeal, Issued In the inter est of the temple, pays th following tribute to Nebraskai Forty-two pledges have been received since our last issue. Of this number nine are $100 pledge, a larger number than we have ever before received In a month. Nebraska Is the banner state; It has out stripped Illinois by a bold spurt and dashed ahead. Last month Illinois had ten names on club 6, and Nebraska had nine names on club t. Now the count stands. Ne braska has completed clubs 6 and 7 and has five namea on club 8, while Illinois has four namos on club 7. Nebraska, there fore, la eleven counts ahead on the Ten, Ten club. Besides this, Nebraska has sent In seven pledges of $100 each the last month and one pledge on No. 1 United State Hun dred Dollar club some months ago. Illinois has sent In five $100 pledges on this club. For the present, however, we will lift our hat to Nebraska. Editorially, Mrs. Cars, at the head of the temple work, says In th Tempi Ap peal: The temple boom In pledge still con tinues, the number being about the same as last month. Th $100 pledges received since our last Issue far outnumbers any thing before recorded. We have received nine $100 pledges, and If other states had done their duty as well aa frla faith. ful, loyal Nebraska, Instead of nine $100 pledges we could easily have ninety-nine.

Pierce Jay, the commissioner of banks of Massachusetts, at the American Bankers' association In St. Louis, advocated a bet ter accounting system. "But, above all," said Mr. Jay, In a dis cussion of his Idea, "we want Intelligence If embesxlement Is to be thoroughly put down.

SECRETARY TAFT AT PONCE Head of War Department Talks to Porto Rteans on S abject of Cltlsenshlo. PONCE. P. R-, April U. Secretary Taft and his party. Governor Wlnthrop and the insular officials accompanying them, arrived here yesterday afternoon. A banquet In honor of the secretary was given by th city kvst night. The speech of welcome was delivered by Augusto Oautler, presl dent of the city council. Senor Gautler complimented Governor Wlnthrop on th excellent work done during his tenure of office. Governor Wlnthrop expressed grati tude for the confidence of the people and promised always to lend his aid In matters affecting the Island. Hermlnio Dlas of the executive council made a long speech, in which he Introduced Secretary Taft. He mad a strong plea for cltlxenshtp and expressed the hop that Secretary Taft would unit with President Roosevelt against Speaker Cannon, who when here recently gave the Porto Rlcans little hope In the matter of citizenship. Secretaary Taft replied, saying. In part: "Again I am urged to make a specific declaration regarding the policy of th United States toward the people of Porto Rico. I am only a humble member of President Roosevelt's cabinet. Whatever I may think or whatever I may do are mat ters of little Importance to the people of this Island. I can only Invoke your atten tion to the fact that President Roosevelt has visited Porto Rico and the Island has been visited by Mr. Root, the secretary of state, and by Mr. Cannon, speaker of th house of representatives, and In soma re spects the most powerful man In the re public. President Roosevelt has recom mended that cltlxenshtp be given, but there have been oongresslonal difficulties with reference to this matter. I am not dealing with generalities, . but with the concrete facts. I ask what la It a Porto Rlcaa Is not guaranteed that an American enjoys. i Tou have every guarantee a cltlsen of th United States enjoys. . Tou have th habeas corpus and a trial by a Jury, and when you are In a foreign country the same flag protects you that protects a cltlsen of the United States. Therefore, while President Roosevelt urges citizenship, he urges It on the ground of gratifying th sentiment of th cltlsens of this Island. But when you oome to examine th facts of what you ask, th question Is whether It I not nom inal rather than substantial." Secretary Taft was cheered at the close of his remarks. Mr. Taft and his party left today for Guayama. MISSOURI RATE CASE ENDS Taking; Testimony Conclndes After Hearings Covering Period of Eighteen Month. KANSAS CITT, April IS. The hearing before Frank H. Schofleld, special master In chancery, tn which the state of Missouri is endeavoring to force the railroads of tha state to obey the maximum rat freight law, was ended today The hearing has extended over a period of eighteen months and th freight rate situation In all parts of the country has been thoroughly In vestigated by both side to the controversy Mr. Schofleld will now mak up his And. lnga and submit them to the United State circuit court here at some data not yet de termined. During the cross-examination of C. L Sturgls, general auditor of the Burlington, today. Attorney General Hadley brought out In evidence the alleged fact that freight rate are much higher tn Missouri than in other states, and should b reduced. The evidence showed that 12 per cent of the total mileage of this road la In Mis souri, that 17 per cent of th car mileage of the entire system Is In Missouri and that Missouri produced 22 per cent of th gross earnings of the road. Auditor Sturgis contended that th revenue and expenses should be considered In making th freight, rates. Attorney General Hadley argues that the freight rates should be determined on the mileage tonnage basis. WHISTLE WORKS OVERTIME Conseajnently Omaha Cltlsen Are Worried and Newspaper 'Fkenes Besieged.

Some few Inquired whether the opening of. the Western league season had anything to do with It, but a glance at the score at Sioux City showed plainly this was not th cause.

SOME MINOR CHANGES MAY BE MADE Alteration Ar Suggested Because of the Increase Cost In Stractnr Decided on by Con or regatlon. Th tentative pians for the proposed new church for the Christian Scientists were exhibited and explained Wednesday even ing at Chambers' academy by Architect Frederick Clarke to a large number of member of the congregation. The plans were shown by a stereoptlcon and the members present thanked Mr. Clarke for his unique presentation of the proposed plana The specifications will be submitted to the building committee of the church for acceptance or alteration and it Is prob able several change will be made. As originally planned an expenditure of only IfiO.OOO for th new church was con templated, but the cost of the present structure would be about 190,000. and changes may prove necessary. The present plans, as outlined In The Be a few days ago, provide for th erec tion of a magnificent church edifice. The building will be along subdued classic lines, with a large portico and entrance. an ample dome on the roof and a large auditorium on the second floor of the structure, with th Sunday school and re tiring rooms on the first floor. Artesian Well for Hotel. For the purpose of drilling an artesian well to furnish a supply of water for the new Rom hotel, derrick are being erected near Fifteenth and Howard streets by the contractors, who drove the artesian well for the new Young Men's Christian associ ation building and work will begin as soon as the engine and driving machinery la rigged. The success attending th artesian well of the Toung Men's Christian association, which was driven to a depth of 1.134 feet and furnishes a large flow of pure water, at tracted the consideration by Rome Miller of the well for his new hostelry. Th well, It Is said, would be a matter of great economy for th new hotel, which will use large quantities of water and the Initial expense In Installing the well would be mora than offset by later benefits derived. Architect Latenscr Is doubtful If a suf ficient flow of water can be obtained by the artesian well, but Is hopeful that the well will equal or surpass that of the Toung Men's Christian association by giving a surface flow. This Is not had from th association well on account of the elevation of th building site and It la necessary to pump the water several feet from below the surface by a compressed air pump. The Rom hotel Is situated on much lower ground and. for this reason, tt Is deemed probable a well with a surface flow can b secured. SAD JOURNEY IS COMPLETED Colonel Wallace Taylor Brings Bodies of Wlfo and Child from Philippines. Colonel Wallace Taylor arrived Wednes day evening at 6 o'clock from th Philip pine Islands with th bodies of his wife and child who died there. Colonel Taylor left Manila March 12 and has been on the road for five weeks, being two days late In reaching Omaha because of washouts on th Southern Pacific near Sacramento. Over twenty members of th old Company L, commonly - known aa th Thurston Rifles, met Colonel Taylor at the Union station. Most of these had seen service under him In the Philippines during the Spanish war and all grieved with him over the loss of his wife, who was well known in Omaha. A little over a year ago Mlas Maud Miller, formerly of Omaha, went from Chicago to th Philippine Islands to marry Colonel Taylor. She died about six weeks ago, when her child was born.

B Ob B CD b a CZZZ2 PRODUCE EXCHANGE BANQUET Affftlra Which Lapsed Three Years Ago to Be n Regular Fentare In the Fntnre. Resumption of the former annual ban quets of the Omaha Produce exchange was had last night at the Chesnpeake cafe after a lapse of three years, when plates were laid for seventy-five members and friends of the exchange. David Cole acted as toaatmaater and Introduced the many speakers after the consumption of an elab orate banquet, and the affair promises to mark the return of many similarly enjoy able affairs In the future life of the ex change. The Invited guests of the evening were John L. Kennedy and E. C. Page, recently appointed members of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. Mr. Kennedy addressed the assemhlnge briefly on the question of railroad rate legislation with regard to the efforts of Omaha produce dealers tn effectually protesting against the action of the express companies In en croaching upon the legitimate trade of deal ers. "Tou ought to remember that to have reasonable rates you must have equal rates," said Mr. Kennedy. "No system of rebates can give reasonable rates unless all stand on an equal basis for low rates to one means equally higher rates to an other. This rate regulation legislation is In lta Infancy, and when you have forced even distribution of the burdens of trans portation your next step Is to nforce rea sonable rates. Common carriers have no business dealing In commodities they trans port, and If you do not drive the express companies out of the produce buslnes they will drive you out. W. W. Bingham spoke on the subject, "Thirty Tears Ago." and said during the early day of produce dealing he could remember when eggs were not salable at any price and butter sold for S cents a pound. E. B. Brsnch, secretary of the Western Fruit Jobbers association, outlined the re cent Interstate commerce law of June, 1S0S, and told of the work accomplished by his exchange and the results antici pated. B. C. Page gave an Interesting delineation of the growth of Omaha and gave It as his opinion that the Omaha Produce ex change and similar organisations hsd aided materially In this growth. "Organizations of this character have sprung up In our city and have united the Interest and vi talized the business men," said Mr. Page. Other speeches were made by H. D. Fry, Joseph Ruahton, Louis Klrschbraum and A. G. Neeley, and the banquet closed with Toastmaster Cole lending In three resound ing cheers for the exchange and Its Indi vidual members, with the hope that they would all long endure for the future wel fare of a "Greater Omaha."
