MIDDLE MEN
FUR COATS

for men, that we bought of st. Paul
manufacturers and which we offer at
lower prices than any competing
house in this Territory. These coats
are not inferior or slighted in any
particular, but the skins, lining and
make cannot be excelled. Fur coats
made of Objectionable skins and with
low-priced and inferior lining are
eagerly sought for by some houses
because they can be bought for low
price and can often be sold to the in
experienced or careless buyer for as
much "a though they were perfect in
every particular. The quality of our
tur coats has become 80 favorably
known that we sell large number
every season to parties living at
considerable distance from this city.
We sold q number last week to stage
drivers and similar persons who
know the best and whose occupa-
tions demand it. Some of the coats
went to Idaho.
We believe we can save you at
least $500 in the purchase of good
cloth overcoat and we will be pleased
to have you look through the stock
and determine as to whether we can
or not. If you think you can bug tc
a better advantage anywhere else
then we have no right to expect your
patronage. If our prices are not be-
low the market, then the hundreds

What shall the permanent fence ofthe
future be? In the eastern and southern
portions of the country, where timber
was plentiful, the old Virginia rail fence
is vet to be seen; but these, with the old
log cabins, will soon disappear. No
fences, or very few, are made with this
material now. The Usage orange has
largely taken It's place. The country
can show numerous well-kept hedge
fences-and when well kept they pre-
sent a beautiful appearance. But there
are serious objections to them. They
are expensive to keep in repair, and il
not kept neatly trimmed they are nui-
sance to their owners and to all travel
ers. Another serious objections to them
is. thev make such safe harbors for rab'
bits. Barbed wire is being extensively
introduced and may become the fence
of the future But many do not like ii
because it is dangerous to stock. Can
not some inventive genius give us a
fence cheaper and better still than any
of these. or devise means by which we
may do without fences altogether

SurrePtitious Photography.

"Clara Belle" writing from Newport
says:
There are two things at Newport that
have combined to raise the dreadful
deuce with the equanimity of certain
girl. One of them is the scent bottle,
which is ever in the hands and at the
nose of every fashionable soul in the
place. 1t is made of cut glass, and
mounted with gold and jewels until it at
tains an expensiveness satisfactory to
the most extravagant millionaire's
daughter. 1t has heightened rapidly as
the season has advanced Beginning at
about six inches, it has extended to
more than foot; and the next inno-
walton will probably be to utilize it as a
walking-cane. We won't know what to
do with our hands for a while after it
goes out of fashion, so inseparable has it
become.
The second of two things is the anna.
teur camera, which is the diversion of a
good many fellows, who use it surrepti-
| tiously and villainously. They provide
the internal instrun ent with what they
call an instantaneous lens, with which
they take picture like flash, leaving
the negative to be developed at leisure.
Don't you catch the idea that nobody
knows when she is safe from being pho
tographed unawares, except when she is
locked in her own room? and wouldn't
be surprised to see camera invented
that would squint through key-hOle.
Now, one of the consequences is the
entire suppression of pantomimIc court
ship. What mean is that the judicious
girl does not permit herself 10 strike any
attitude when hanging on the arm Ct a
sweetheart or conversing with him in ,
presumable shaded corner, that would
look badly if reproduced in a picture

FASHION NOTES.

Bonnet strings must match tire materi-
81 of the dress.
Red and turquoise blue are combined
in new flannel suits.
Buckles instead ofbuttons fasten many
handsome cOrsa.es.
Black laces come with embroidered
edges and net to match.
Silk plush and fine cloth turban caps
are worn by small boys.
Feather thistles appear among other
eccentric novelties in millinery.
The embroidered and broche crowns
are works of art this fall.
Tan is the favorite color for fall gloves,
whether of kid, silk, or Isle thread.
Demi-trained dresses are again adopt
ed for carriage wear and demi-toilet at
home.
Evening toilets are worn with high or
low bodices, according to the fancy of
the wearer
Large loose cloaks easily put on and
off will be in high favor as the season
advances.
The stocking with the lacing above
the knee is intended to make the use of
garters unnecessary.
Tufts of ostrich feathers decorate the
skirts and draperies of many elaborate
evening dresses.
Bonnets covered with stuff like the
dress and lined with velvet are destined
to rival those of felt.
Pomegranate red, Eton blue, and AL
derney cream are the colors most used
in combination in Paris this month.
The Moliere house shoe with a large
