A RELIC OF puELINe DAYS.
How the Two Buttons Came to BE on the
Back of the Frock Cont.

Back of the Frock Coat.
For many years the two buttons have
figured at the waist line of the back of
the mans skirt or frock coat. Now,
why are they there? For ornament and
effect? Not so originally, for these two
buttons were at their beginning for SER
vice and not for decoration. If you put
their inception back into the time when
the big square art embroidered and
gorgeously-lined overcoats were worn,
two centuries ago, and when the gal
lants of the time were wont to go forth
on dress-parade with the sword at the
side and ready to resent any informal
ity of etiquette, you will find that in or
der to reach the side-arm more readily
the skirts of the coat were turned back
in reverse-shaped way and buttoned
or Topped upon two buttons at the back
placed as these are at the present day.
In this way they secured an immunity
from drapery when the command came,
DRAW and defend yourself" and at the
same time exploited a segment of the
rich inside of the skirt of the coat in a
very effective way. The tinsel, the
side-arm, the court etiquette, the duello
and the gorgeous lowered texture OF
the coat have gone before, but those
two buttons remain on the tail-coats OF
to-day, a suggestion of that period OF
laces, brocades and romance. Chicago

Foul York.

About . o'clock last Sunday after
noon some little boys while wading
around in a pond in the north part of
town, between the places of Mr.. John
Biles and DR.. Fits, found the dead
body of mulatto infant, tied up in a
seamless grain bag. 1t was a large,
well developed boy baby, and had
probably been in water three or four
weeks. 1t is the opinion of all who
saw it that the child was murdered.
A coroner's jury had the case under
investigation Monday and Tuesday,
but the verdict has not been given
out yet.

GIRLS DO HAVE FUN

We girls do have fun,
We cen swing, jump rope, and run,
Down to the creek fishing 60,
Don't care for the swimming, tho,
If the water is not deep
We can wade in the shade
And not soil our clothes,
But keep them nice as just made,
Then go home over the hill,
Not round by the mill
To play in dirty DUST
To get hard fall
Is no fun at all,
SO that we will shun
And have ever so much fun.
We know that to be good
And attend to what is told us,
We won't want to be boys,
Neither to know what he does.
We can be pleasant all day,
For happiness comes that way.
1t is not measured by the peck
1t reaches far round and above the neck,
We do have lovely fun.
Wecan sit and sing and talk,
And cut quilt pieces and doll rags,
And fix pretty ribbon tags
And sew and sweep and cook,
And read the best of books,
And not tell ma about the boys,
Rpcausp finn "a he without ride noise
We girls have quiet fun.
To be a boy and whoop and yell and holler,
Would not be for many dollar.
We wear slippers and thin, cool dress,
And roll hoop without distress.
Yes, we have fun in our play,
Because we are perfect in our way.
We have fine fun.
Perhaps you envy us girls,
To be one you would give world,
And wear long plated hair
To fall so pretty over the chair.
To cline to fame above the trees,
Thoughts better than humble bees,
And wear dresses which set
More beautiful than a somerset,
And climb to nights far over the shed
And iliume the mind deep in our head,
Go to our books and study them well
So we can play, for we will know how,
Don't you think girls have fun now?

inexpensive limitations Very Commonly
Worn,
To provide for the very general fash
ion of wearing fur bands upon the cos
tune, there are certain new woven text
lies which bear a close resemblance to
fur, There are productions of the loom
so like the expensive Persian lambskin
that an expert alone could tell the diff
ference. Gray krimmer and black as
trakhan are likewise admirably copied,
new productions. in these trimmings
being displayed this week. These imi-
tations in soft silk wool are really in bet
ter taste than the host of cheap feather
bands and inferior skins indifferently
dyed to initiate more expensive fur, for
instance "bluc fox which sold for
song. Genuine blue fox is only used
on wraps of great vahe, but many
women walk abroad in the dreadful i'm
itation Of "blue fox'-a dyed fur and
dyed blue that would scare any fox who
saw it, Of course blue fox is not blue
at all. 'Iti so called because it isn't"
wise furrier once explained. Few
people know the fur when they see it,
or have the least idea of its actual val
ne, and as it is neither sable nor seal,
its price when given is invariably pro-
vocative of ejaculations.--N. Y. Post.
Stylish Basques and Princesse Gowns.
Jacket fronts are still worn over loose
vests, finished with a pointed Swiss belt
of velvet the color of the fronts. Alter
coat sleeves by draping folds of the sec
ond material at the top, or cut V out
at the top reaching half way to the ell
bow, and fill in the space with a puff of
the contrasting goods. Round and V
shaped yokes are set plainly over the
basque and thus hide soiled or worn
spots Girdle pieces of velvet, embroid-
cry or passementerie are sloped to q
point in front. Pointed basque backs
are finished with full cabbage rosette
of velvet, and ribbon is yet worn round
the edge of the bodice Worn collars
may be covered with tabs of ribbon,
one on each side of the front pointed to-
ward the back, or with ribbon sewed
on the inner side and turned over on the
collar. Princesse backs are usually
seen on cloth or heavy repped silk
gowns. The latter have slightly drap-
ed, embroidered or bordered front and
pointed vest, while the latter have the
full vest and skirt front of brocade.
Both have large velvet rosettes in the
back, just below the waist-line. Ladies'

The IVdier FORKS.

The water works ordinance SUBJ
mitted to the people at the general
election next Saturday, has not been
perfected in every particular. Should
the people ratify the proposition, the
new Board will consider the ordi-
nance in detail and adjust any points
which are not altogether satisfactory.
The point to be taken into considera-
ton by voters is simply shall we have
fire protection at a cost of $1,000 a
year. Under this ordinance no adj
ditional taxation will be required for
the purpose. When what was called
"the young mems administration"
took hold of our city government
three years ago, the city revenues
were but little over $4,000 per year.
Without any increase in the rate of
taxation, our city revenues now
amount to about $1,000 a year. For
the year ending May 1st, about $500
were expended on street work. Our
streets are all now in good condition,
and can be kept that way for many
years to come with an expenditure
of $500 a year. Our taxable values
are increasing every year, and our
present rate of taxation will be am
pie to provide the new school build
ings, keep the schools up to the
present high standard for ten months
in the year, pay the ordinary running
expenses of the corporation, and the
water rental. Should the water
works enable us to check one fire in
any business block in town, enough
would be saved thereby to pay the
water rents for from twenty to fifty
years. The reduction in insurance
rates is another very important item,
Citizens who have the welfare of the
town at heart should consider the
matter in all its hearings, and de-
eide and vote in favor ofprogress.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 1G.-The anti
s~ub-treasury alliance convention today
received the report of the committee on
permanent organization. 1t favors the
appointment of a committee to confer
with the supreme council of the alliance
to consider the matter of political action
and the sub treasury scheme. The COM
mittee is authorized to act according to
circumstances found after such confer
ence. The committee is also directed to
ecure speakers to combat the sub-treas-
ury idea and to issue literature on the
subject. Another convention is to be
then called by the committee to take
further action.
Another resolution was adopted op-
posing political action under any circum-
stances, and protesting against previous
action to that effect. Another resolution
was adopted stating that this convention
was not called for the purpose of seced-
ing from the farmers alliance, as had
been enormously reported in some news
papers. At the afternoon session the
committee on permanent organization
presented a further report, calling on all
alliance men opposed to the sub-treasury
scheme to join with this convention in
fighting the same.

The Tale Grows More Awful.

MADRID, Sept. 1G.-COrrespondents of
the Spanish and foreign who
have been able to reach Consuegra des-
cribe it as the 'city of the dead"
On every side are terrible signs of
destruction. The rumbling of the death
cart CRATES horribly upon the ear as
those CHASTITY vehicles convey their sick
ening loads to common trenches, dug for
their reception. The streets everywhere
are torn up, washed out and filed with
all kinds of wreckage. Human remains,
stray limbs and headless trunks are seen
%protruding from heaps of mud covered
~wreckage. The depth of the food at
Consuegra can be gagged from the fact
that the water rose eighteen feet in the
church of st. John the Baptist. An
estimate made of the damage to property
in and about Conseugra places the loss
at S2,J0O.0O0.
Survivors Of the disaster give agu
and confused accounts of the rise and
onward sweep of the flooding water
which wrought such deadly havoc. They
say, however, that though the river was
noticed to be rising rapidly no serious
apprehension was felt until the waters
seemed to make a sudden rush forward,
threatening to overwhelm and eventually
overwhelming everything. Then came
a wild race for life. Many climbed upon
the roofs of houses, hoping to escape, but
the buildings gave way beneath them as
the swollen waters swept through the
town, consigning hundreds to a death in
the wreckage-laden stream.
A majority of the dead have been
buried as a sanitary p~recaution. Twenty
seven dead bodies have been found in
n dwelling house.
MADRID, Sept. 16.-The misery existing
at Conseugra is intense. The inhabit-
ants are compelled to sleep in the open
air and the food supply is of the most
meager description. Gendarmes are
often obliged to resort to force to COM
pei men to assist in the work of recover
ing bodies. Sixteen robbers have been
caught riflng the clothing of corpses.
So far 945 bodies have been recovered.

habitants, young and old. male ant
female, a majority half naked
or clad in rags, on their knees with
hands uplifted praying for succor. The
feyerish clamor of these poor people
made the work of distribution slow and
painful and, when all the bread was
gone there still remained many mouths
untitled. many sufferers who had not
been able to obtain ever the smallest
portion of this temporary relief.
At Almeria, capital of the province of
that name. the number of dead, as in
many other places, is still unknown, but
it is admitted over 800 houses have been
destroyed and that a large number of
people have persisted. OF course it is i'm
possible to get full details of the flood
disaster, but in addition to the places al
ready referred to at Andarza, a stream
has overlooked and is running the grape
crop. The villages of Puerto, Lapida
and Villa Fraco in the province of Gin
bad Real have been severely ravaged by
the flood.
MADRID, Sept. 15.-AccOunts from
Consuegra are appalling in the extreme.
The town is a heap of ruins surround
ed by a vast expanse of water leaving
visible here Snd there tree tops, chin
neys and floating wreckage of all kinds.
The police have suppressed pillage and
food is arriving for the sufferers. The
burial of the victims proceeds and with
a constant discovery of fresh corpses it
will be long before the mournful task is
ended. 1t is estimated that 5000 head
of horses and stock have been drowned.
The flood at Almeira has plunged the
city into absolute darkness. having
stopped operations at the electric light
establishments and gas works.
The river Andaray overtlowed its
banks and converted the valley into a
vast lake. The queen subscribed $4,000
more to start a national relief fund. The
bodies of sixty persons were found in a
public place where they had been over
taken by the flood in the midst of a we'd
ding feast.

The Anti-Third Party Convention.

"h'y NohschSiohs
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-THE anti-thirt
party and anti-subtreasury wing of thu
Farmers alliance met at 1870 this morn
ing. Not more than half of the dele
gates expected made their appearance
The purpose and objects of the conven
ton have heretofore been stated anC
from the tenor of the speeches THU
morning it is quite evident the plan out
lined in the Fort Worth platform to the
effect that the third party and land loan
scheme are to have no place in the new
alliance that will be organized this week,
The convention was called to order by
the U. S. Hall, ex-president of the Mis-
souri, alliance, and a temporary %organiza-
| ton was effected by the election of U. S.
Hall as temporary chairman and w. II.
Murray of Corsicana, Tex. as secretary.
A committee on credentials was then
appointed and soon reported that all del
egates in the hall were entitled to seats.
The report was adopted.
The temporary organization was made
permanent and a motion made to ap-
Dolit u VII itSolutlolIS uIlt
permanent organization with instruc-
tons to report "A plan of organization and
the policy to be pursued in the future.
This motion brought about a long and at
times animated discussion. 1t was final
ly decided to appoint a committee of five
to outline the plan of procedure to be
presented to the convention this after
400 and at 1870 p. m. the convention
took recess.
II DENOUNCER DENOUNCED.
The afternoon session was called to order
at 2:3O o'clock and was about as lively AS
any convention could be.
As soon as the delegates were seated
Chairman Hall announced the committee
on resolutions and the committee was in
structed Immediately to prepare a plat
form. During the absence of the COM
mittee DIR. w. Polk Yeamans of Boone
county, Missouri, was called on for an
address. The doctor took up the subject
of the government land loan scheme and
the subtreasury fad and dissected them
to the evident satisfaction of the dele
gates who %applauded the good points
without stint. About $3.50 the committee
on resolutions made a partial report.
The report was read. 1t is the same
platform adopted by the Fort Worth
convention, with a modification of the
resolution, as follows:
ResOlred, That we denounce G. w.
Macune and his corrupt methods, to-
gether with the acts of his tools and
as being a disgrace to the
order and a stencil in the nostrils of all
honest men who know of their corrup-
ton and villainy." This led to a heated
debate and an adjournment for the day
was finally taken without acting on the
platform.
