Some of the leading furnishsrs are show.
Ing very high collars aud rery wide cuffs.
They are at once unb=comiyX and uncom-
Portable.
The very latest divergence upon the sacred
precincts OF evening dress Is a double
breasted Walstcoat in the snme material as
the coat and trousers.
The fact that the high collar and wide cuffs
mako the Wearer appear conspicuous, is
enough to allay fear that they may be adopt
ed these conservative days.
The correct double-brensted sack ceat or
"~reefer'' is now only made three-buttoned.
This gives a most distingae swing TO 1t and
avoids the crowded and uneasy effect the
getting in of the fourth buttons engendered.
At this season of the year the s~carfpin
gains in Importance. Its one of the favored
gifts IN the category or Chrlstmastide There
Is always room for one more OF these useful
trinkets in the collection Of the fashionable
man.
Some of the canes and umbrellas nave
costly jewelS introduced into the handles,
and IA gold ferrule is the latest luxury
although umbrellas and canes were not easy
enough to lose without putting u premium
upon disappearance.
The very latest diversion in high-class
neckWear is in the form of the four-in.hand
self-tied soaring, the fabric being in soft
yieldir g, but heavy woven all silk stuff The
especial feature is that the knot Is made
round rather than flat.
With the dinner coat, still yclept the
"Tuxedo' by the ~backnumbers, the London
fashion trainers have evolved a new waist
coat. 1t is of white washable fabric, lapel
less, the opening in q sharply defined V
shape. 1t Is four-button single-breasted
The man without gloves nowadays is put
down among the 'impecunes." The sale has
been enormous in comparison with past sea-
sons. Considering that the best gloves are
now made in TINS country, this odict of the
fashionable men is a matter for congratulate
ton.
The new style of dress overcoats, which It
Is intended shall succeed the Inverness cape,
has been recently introduced, or rather, re-
vived, for the garment Is cut after the pat
tern OF the famous Talma, a remarkable
mantle like coat, tho poiEt of the sleeve head
running into the neck.
In size and quality the muller has reached
the zenith of It's career. Great faith is evil
IDENTIFY felt by the muller providers That tho
present will be n colo winter. In size they
are now made long enough to fold we'll over
the dress waist coat opening. They are Ia
solid black, or in a variety of very rare ana
beautiful combinations in dark backgrounds
Of fine texture.

The Eake FACTORY.
Bcahiee Erp,ess,

When the Omaha World-Herald prints
alleged news by telegraph it should be care
full the subject Is not one with which the
public has become familiar and grown tired,
The story it gives prominence in its issue of
Sunday, about the arrest of a gang of count
erfeitors at Beatrice, all appeared in its own
columns when it was news, weeks ago.
Either the World-Herald is hard pushed for
something with which to fill its columns OIL,
as ministers are alleged to sometimes do, it
has turned "the oarrel' bottom up for the
purpose of going through 1t again.

Balmaceda must have been an expensive
ruler of Chill or the new government is away
out in its estimate of expenses The estimate
of expenditures for 1892 is Sll ,00O,0 below
the actual expenses of 1890, and Sl0,00O,00
below Balmaceda's estimate for 1891. Presi-
dent Montt has requested that his name be
stricken from the list of the leaders of the
revolution to whom congress proposes to vote
large sums of money, and, considering tho
financial condition of tue country, the other
leaders should DO patriotic enough to follow
his example.

THE decision of the supreme court of
Kansas denying the authority OF the
railway commission of that state to reg
olate railway crossings and compel the
Kansas railroads to provide proper
depot facilities is liable TO cause
a widespread demand in that state for q
material enlargement OF its powers by
legislative enactment. Unlike the Ne
braska commission, which seems deter
mined to ignore the demands of the peo-
pie, the Kansas commission had done its
duty but it is baked by the decision of
the supreme court In our state there is
scarcely any limitation to the power of
the State Board OF Transportation, but
80 long as the present board remains the
law will continue to DO a dead letter.

ENGLISH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

According to the latest information,
which may be accepted as trustworthy
for the reason that all previous advices
from the same source have been shown
to be reliable, the CHILEAN government
feels in an entirely friendly mood toward
the United States. This fatty contra
diets the statements that have recently
been made, chiefly upon the
authority of the correspondent
of the London Times at Vulpa-
raiso, which asserted that the CHILEAN
government did not intend to pay any
attention to the requests of the United
States, and would neither apologize nor
pay any indemnity for the outrages COM
mitted upon American sailors. In short,
the English correspondent gave it to be
understood that the feeling in Chill
toward the United States was
distinctly u%nfriendly, and that
the Gillian government and people
wore fully prepared to assume any re-
sponsiblity which the expression of such
a feeling might render necessary.
All this is declared to be pure inven-
tloh lllo ullH utlllcu lllSEc pTcScuU I'D UlOu,
and it is highly probable that such is
the case. 1t is only necessary to recall
the friendly sentiments uttered by the
CHILEAN minister, when recently pre-
sented to the president, to find a valid
reason for believing that the Times
correspondent has been deliberately
lying. Nor is it necessary to go far in
order to find a motive for his doing so.
A rupture of friendly relations between
the United States and Chill, e%ventuating
in war, would be heartily welcomed by
England, not only because 1t would
put off indefinitely all possibility
of closer commercial relations be-
might have a decided influence UNI
favorable to the progress of reciprocity
negotiations with other South American
countries. 1t is we'll understood that
English influence has been active in
Chilli in creating a feeling of hostility to
the United States, and it is by no means
improbable that the English financial
interests so largely concerned there
have given assurance that in the event
OF a war with the United States the
CHILEAN government could depend upon
receiving all the financial assistance it
might require, and could even hope for
the support and material aid of the
British government.
That the Chillans are somewhat pre-
JUDGED against Americans is not to be
doubted, but that the government will
give such consideration to this senti-
ment as to adopt a course that would
p~recipitate war, as the only way by
which the United States could secure it's
rights and maintain it's self-respect be-
fore the world, is highly improbable.
Meanwhile our government is not
aggravating the issue by unseemly ur-
gency. On the contrary, it is patiently
awaiting the conclusion of the inquiry
into the outrage which the CHILEAN
authorities are prosecuting, in the be-
lief that Justice will be done. If the re-
suit shall be otherwise the United States
will not hesitate to act as duty, the con-
servation of her rights and her self
respect require. She will ask only
justice and she will accept nothing less.

29,034 were injured by them. OF the total

UNDER the provisions of the statute
which requires the board of railroad
commissioners to pay an official visit to
all the stations in North Dakota once a
year for the purpose of receiving COM
pla.nts against the transportation and ell
evator companies, Secretary Edgerley
announces that the main and branch
lines of the Northern Pacific road will be
visited, commencing June Sd. 1t is to
be hoped that any and all persons who
think they have a grievance will be on
hand and present their case to the board,
which is anxious that any existing
troubles between the citizens and the
company may be adjusted. Consult
your station agent as to the exact time
they will be in each locality, and be on
hand promptly.
