Condensed Notes from Foreign and Amer
lean Fashion Centers.
Soft silk is the proper material for
tea gowns now.
Marquise laces are dividing popular
favor with chantilly.
A novelty for sporting maidens is the
new ribbon-laced tennis belt
Silk mitts of black or of tan color will
be much worn this summer.
White crepe cloth is now used in
pretty combinations with surah or
china silk.
An odd ;ewelry craze has just struck
Paris. The ladies there are wearing
big loops of gold in their ears--"creole
earrings" they are called.
There are only two women living
who have gowns embroidered with
real pearls. They are Queen Marg-
harita, of Italy and Mrs. Bonanza
Mackay.
Long wraps, for carriage wear or for
travelling purposes, are made up very
stylishly in cameps hair, surah, cash
mere, mohair, pongee, beige or corah.
Black gowns are often relieved with
touches of color here and there, En-
broidery in soft dull cashmere tints is
| considered the best thing wherewith to
brighten them.
Elegant fUll-dress garments are OF
chantilly, escurial and Spanish lace,
and are decorated with watteaus OF
lace, passementerie, or ribbons. Some
have ruches of lace carried across the
shoulder.
For the tennis field ladies will wear
the blouse basque, in preference to the
old-fashioned sailor. The back of the
blouse is fitted to the figure but allowed
to fall full at the front and is laced
with cords.
In arranging the trimming upon u
bonnet, care must be taken that THE
outlines of the shape are preserved.
The tiny frames can easily be smoth-
cred in ribbons, laccs or flowers, and
their prettiness entirely destroyed.
A novelty in Embarrassing is revi-
val OF the old revolutionary style. The
hair is woven into one large braid,
which is carried from the nape of the
neck to the extreme top OF the head.
1t is not a pretty coiffure, and proves
most trying to all but the very pref
tiest Of women.
The parasol is slightly larger than
heretofore. 1t has paragon frame
and along, slender handle, topped with
silver or gold that is often set with
Jewels. Some very showy ones are
made pagoda-shaped or draped with
net, tulle, gauze, or lace. A new fancy
is to have laoe trimming under the silk
but none outside.
Paris milliners predict that ribbon
will soon get the better of flowers as
the trimming for stylish hats. 1t is
lsed in all widths, from the baby uT
to ten inches. and appears In the rich
est weayes and the most daring YET
artistic color combinations. Where
ribbon is combined with flower trim
ming, very narrow velvet is oftenes
used. of color to match the dominan
: hue of the blossoms. s.--Chicago News

To the Editor of the RECORD.
/ was very glad to receive the RECORD
to-day, as l feared you had suffered from
the prairie fires. Our paper for March 20
did not come. I don't want to miss a
number if we can help it. If you have
an extra one please send with our next,
as the other is propably lost. I assure
you that fully appreciate the privilege
of hearing frem Williamsport every
week. I drop everything to devour the
contents Of the RECORD, and do most
earnestly hope that you will suffer no
such losses as some of the South Dakota
people have. Regards to wife and son,
Wishing you all prosperity, remain
Yours, truly, MRS. Z. TAPE.

WILLIANISPORT, DAKOTA.
D. r. STREETER Editor and Publisher.

1T is said that at the last meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners propo-
sition was submitted by Mr.. Thomas Bot
tomley offering to build brick vault IN
the old county building, provided that the
board would agree to give him two hun
dred dollars year for the said building,
and contract to occupy it for three years.
That such a proposition was made comes
to us only by hearsay. and there is moth
Ing in the published minutes to show that
the proposal was entertained by the
board But there is no use denying the
fact that the rumor that such action is
contemplated has stirred up much feeling
In this neighberheod, and, almost with
out exception, the prayer goes up that the
honorable gentlemen composing our
county board will turn deaf ear to Mr..
Bottomley's proposition. And the Rec
ORD hopes aud believes that they will .
While there is united and solid opposi-
ton in this vicinity to the desertlon of the
Jail at this time, Judging from the ex-
pressed opinions of the few gentlemen
from other parts who have visited the
county seat during the past week there is
still more pronounced feeling outside.
One gentleman even went so far as to as
sert that moving into the Jail last fall was
an election trick, and that the RECORD
was party to 1t. But this criticism was
entirely unjust and uncalled for. The
RECORD believed then and 1t believes now
that the Jail is the. proper place for the
county offices until such time Us there
shall be more taxpayers and much
larger property valuation. In its plea
last fall for occupancy of the Jail this
paper acted in perfect good faith, and its
editor did not hear single suggestion
that removal to tho Jail meant anything
beyond what appeared on its face. Fur
thermore, we do not believe that the
members Of the county board will accept
this absurd and costly proposal. unless by
special pleading and undisputed asscr-
tlons on the part Of those selishly inter
ested they can be made to believe the &C.
ton matter of absolute necessity.
But is 1t a matter Of necessity; on tile
contrary, is not the Jail the better place
for the offices and records7 Let us see.
1. 1t is claimed that Sheriff MCGEE de-
mands" the JAIL We do not believe this.
1t is not probable that our sheriff asks
more than comfortable residence for
himself and family In the Jail. This the
law allows him, and this he is certainly
entitled to. But it is a fact that by cut
ting doorway at the bottom of the stairs
or by building an outside stairway the up
per part or residence portion of the Jail
would be connected with the outside.
The inside door at the bottom of tho stairs
connects with the present county office,

and through that to the cell area back of
the office. The sheriff passing through
the county office during the mfrequent
times when q prisoner is in the cells
would no more annoy the occupants of
the office than would any other visitor.
Besides, Jimmy is light walker.
2. 1t is claimed, we believe, that the
Jail building is announcement" True, it
may not be as convenient as the Bismarck
court. house; but most of the taxpayers
of this county are not as conveniently sit
uated as they hope to be some time.
Only when the commissioners meet, and
then not always, has the room been
crowded. The room is no smaller now
than it was when first occupied.
g. 1t IS asserted that there is danger to
the records, and that vault is necessary
This is true. But it is also true that
as against fire and burglary the Jail is the
safest place by long odds in the county.
1t is occupied by family, while the other
building is inhabited only during business
hours, and an expert cracksman could
tackle the safe and vault at his leisure.
The jai! being of stone. it is one of the
few buildings in the county completely
safe against prairie fire. At Leola a
whole town of as good Tor better) build
ings as the Bottomley structure were
destroyed by such a fire. AS to dan
ger from inside fire, every pipe
hole in the Jail opens into chimney,
while in the frame building stoveppe
must go up through wooden ceiling.
If the building burned, vault made of
ordinary brick would crumble into dust.
4. The Jail has four cells Most jails
in new counties have not more han one
or two. Two cells could be set aside for
storing the books on shelves. There is
light enough in them, and their occupancy
would involve the taking of but few
extra steps on the part of the clerical
officials. The west half Of the corridors.
80 occupied, can be completely isolated
from the other half when prisoners are in
the two eastern cells by simply closing a
strong door. To put it briefly, there is
no building in the county where the valu
able records would be so entirely safe as in
the jail.
5. Tue rent asked ($2OO per year for
three years, if we are correctly informcd),
is most exorbltant. 1t is between 30 am!
40 per cent per annum on the amount
which would be required to put up just
such building at the present time, vault
and all !

In conclusion the RECORD repeats that
it hopes and believes the board will not
entertain Bottomley's proposition at all.
But, if they should see merit in the argu-
ment of alleged necessity. judging them
by the past they will not act hastily on
question that is not pressing but will
give the people of the districts chance
to express their wishes.
