New Dress Fabrics.

The first importations of spring wooden
dresses are homespuHs, cheviots, tweeds
and fanciful plaids and stripes with rough
surfaces Beige and tan shades are always
popular in the spring, and are now of the
lightest mushroom tints. A special fancy
this season is the use of pale green shades
for the accessories of these light tan
dresses, and of darker green and pale yell
low with gray gowns. Outing dresses are
of finely twilled striped fiannels, and the
stripes are placed bias, lengthwise and
crosswise in single gown.
Scotch ginghams remain the popular
cotton fabric for ladies' summer dresses
and for chiidren's frocks throughout the
year. They are brought out this year in
the very light colors that will be seen in all
new fabrics, the special novelty being
copies of Louis Quinze brocades in chine,
stripes of flowers and vines on white
grounds alternating with solid stripes of
pale rose, sky blue, mauve, gray or green.
Flowered batistes with lace stripes are
pretty summer fabrics, thinner and softer
than ginghams, and with more "body'
than lawns. Percales are revived. Sateens
have a duller luster than formerly, and
the cotton cheviots are of better quality
than were last ACKNOWLEDGMENT Bazaar.

The permission to weaP high or semi

has had an influence among English wo-
men, as is shown by the fact that low bod
Ices for ordinary evening wear are brought
little higher up on the shoulder when the
figure needs it. This is a fashion which
many American women will find both be-
coming and convenient, as even without
perfect figure they may wear, when occa-
sion requires it, a low bodice without I'M

for those lands and | do
not blame them, as long as they can't
make any charges for their extra la
Dor; still the poor settler, who having
settled and improved on his intended
home in good faith, should not be
blamed for making demand of the
government to secure him or her title
under government land law. The
worst of all of it is the great number
of opinions. One will say, YOU stay
ON the land if the government gets it,
you will; the same with the railroads;
which admit to be true. But here
comes the next question: Suppose
one-half of the lands in the 20-mile
limits should fall into the hands of
the railroad company; in this case
would not the government be permit
ted to state that the company must
first select out Of lands not applied
for?

Morris tribune., 1891-07-15
indemnify Lands.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-The different in
demnity land settlers have often writ
ten me as to what I officially receive
from the Interior Land Department.
In reply I must state that there is
nothing definite as to new rulings by
the commissioners of the general land
Office, especially in regard to lands in
the Marshall Land Office, district since
Feb. and April, 1889; and am further
informed that | have not lost one sin
gle case out of my numerous lend ap-
plcations up to June II, 1891.
So far as the action of the acting
secretary of May, %, 1891, it says that
acting secretary Chandler has revoked
the withdrawal order of indemnity
lands for number of railroads. This
action is mere matter of form for
the most part and effects some roads
in Minnesota very slightly. The Man
itoba, Hastings & Dakota, and the
Winona & ST. Peter may lose some
tracts on the account of this order.
This indemnity withdrawal was by
executive order to reimburse the COM
panies for lands lost in the regular
granted limits. The secretary says
the companies have held these lands
under the Withdrawals for thirty years,
and if they have not had time to as
certain. what lands they have lost in
that time they should lose what is
now held and the settlers should be
given the opportunity to select the
residue. The secretary acted un-
der the authority given him by the
forfeiture act of last congress. The
secretary goes further and says that
when the companies have made the
selection no loss can occur. That is
the question, can company make a
selection of hundred thousand acres
when they only lost half of it? In my
appeal I state that these lands were
never properly selected, as it no where
appears by affidavit or otherwise, and
claim that the Manitoba company has
received more lands in the 20-mile
limits than they lost in tho original
10-mile grant.
The officers of the local land Office,
as well as the Interior department,
are greatly annoyed by the settlers
