ACCORDIAN PLATING
AT HOME!

Heretofore the ladies or this
city and vicinity have been rOrc-
cd 70 send their goods to chicago
Or st. Louis to be plated. Out we
are glad to be able to announce
tnat this is no longer necessary,
as the popular Madame Russell,
one or the leading dress makers
OF the city. has secured the ex-
elusive control for this city or
the machine TO do this kind or
work and Will be glad to walt up
on the ladies OF this city and the
surrounding cities who want
work OF this kind done.
IL is needless for us to say any
thing in reference to the utility
and adviEa bility or Accorriian
Plating. for all who have seen it
admire 1t and TO those who have
not il has only to be seen to ba
appreciated. She is able to plat
any width from the whole length
OF the skirt to the narroweSt
flOunce and guarantees it against
coming out.
AccOrdian Plating adds i'm
meaSurably to the appearance OF
a dress without adding to its
cost, as Madame Russell offers
TO make dresses at the same
price with or without the plating.
Madame Russell can be found or
addressed at the ARCADE
Dry Goods Store. 130 North
Main Street, where she will glad
ly welcome all who wish TO see
this work or ask any questions
about 1t. No other way OF trim
ming a dress preserves the cloth
in such good condition or will
admit OF making over with so
| little waist or material.
We cannot say too much about
the beauty and deSirability OF
Accordian Plating and this is
what makes It so deServedly
popular.

Lombardy's Iron Crown.

When Napoleon was crowned king Of
Italy at Milan in 1905 he placed the iron
crown of the kings of Lombardy upon his
own head with his own hands, exclaiming:
"Dieu me la dome, care qui la touche"
c'God has given it to me, beware who
touches'1 This, according to Scott, was the
motto attached to the crown by its ancient
owners The crown takes its name from the
narrow iron band within it, which is about
three-eighths Of an inch broad and one tenth
of an inch in thickness. Tradition says that
it was made out of one Of the rails used at
the crucifixion and given to Constantine by
his mother, Helena, the discoverer of the
cross, to protect him in battle. Afterwards
it was used in the coronstions Of the Lem
bard kings-primarily at that Of Agilulfus
at Milan in 591. The crown is KEEP. in the
cathedral of Monza. The outer circuit is
composed of six equal pieces Of beaten gold,
Joined by hinges and set with large rubies,
emeralds and sapphire on ground Of blue
gold enamel Within the circuit is the iron
crown" said to have no speck Of rust upon
it, although it has been exposed for over
fifteen hundred years-Lippiucott's Mags-

NATURE IN CONFUSION

Is terrific. Volcanic eruptions, cyclones,
earthquakes are awfully and tremendous
ly picturesque, but scarcely desirable to
emulate in action and effect by the adj
ministration of remedies which produce
CONFUSION and agony in the abnormal por-
ton of the human frame. Such is the eff
feet of the old fashioned violent purga-
tives happily falling more and more into
disuse, and of which Hostetters Stomach
Bitters is the wholesome, pleasant and far
more effective succedaneum. They weak
ened the intestines-the Bitters invigor-
ates them. They left the bowels inactive,
because incapacitated by ensuing feeble
ness. The Bitters, on the contrary, and
because it enables, not forces, them to act
"a vast and fortunate difference-perpetu-
ates their activity and regularity. The
liver is beneticially stimulated, as the kid
neys also are, by this medicine, which
easily conquers, also, malaria, nervous
ness and rheumatism.

CERTAIN OE HER LOSS.

LONDON, Jan. 22-The National line
steamer Erin, Captain Tyson, from New
York TO London. has now been out twenty
Eve days and there is hardly any doubt IN
maritime circles that some disaster has be-
fallen her. The fears concerning her safe

port made by the British steamer Creole,
Captain Darling, at Bremen from New Or
leans, which on January IL saw a steam
er's life boat adrift bearing the name Erin.
The Creole brought the boat alongside and
took from it ten ash oars and a mast and
sail. A life buoy, a spar bridge and an

In Queen Aune's Time.

It was the fashion to laugh at the rusticity
of country squires and to vote rural sports
vulgar. Among the middle classes tastes
were narrowly insular, and the travelled wit
only returned to town q fop and fribble.
Without political interests, country pursuits,
or artistic tastes, the fashionable world con-
centrated its attention upon amusement or
upon dress Society cried in real earnest
with the sarcastic Swift: "Vive la Baga-
teller Early rising was not the vogue: Be-
linda wakes at 12 to summon her maid with
handben or slipper. A great part of the
morning was spent both by men and women
in an elaborate toilet.

Ring to exhibit his new sword knot, show the
height of his toupee, select beauty for the

and carried under his left arm his low felt
hat, looped or cooked, according to taste, and
edged with silver Round his neck was tied
the Berdash or Steinkirk neckcloth Of Mech
lin lace, probably busted with snuff. and he
wore his waistcoat unbuttoned at the top to
show the fneness of bis ruffled Holland shirt.
His embroidered or brocaded suits, with
silk stockings to match, were of various colors.
His shoes had high red heels. The tails Of his
coat were stiffened with wire to display the
silk lining. From a button of his coat hung
his foxskin muff at his side dangled his

clouded cane, which was suspended from his
right wrist by blue ribbon, and traild har-

occur in the state where the marriage took
place, thus dispelling prevalent idea that
uniform national divorce law would
remedy the evil
