The chemisette is of violet crepe de

The full puffs of the sleeve are Of the
changeable silk. The lower portions,
which are quite tight to the arm. are of

Keepers Are Up to Date.
The hotels of Oklahoma up TO last fall
were few and far between. Having tried
several with little satisfaction, a party
Of hungry ''tenderfeet" was directed by
q commercial traveller to a little place
on corner. The commercial man said
il did not look inviting, but it was clean.
That was an inducement the party had
not heard Of in that section, and it
turned in for supper. The dining room
Was one in which the family lived. A
folding bed stood in one corner. An old
time bureau was opposite. A box stove
was in the way, and about 1t were
several old fashioned rockers. A few
family pictures hung from the wall,
with the old, old motto. invoking the
blessing Of the powers celestial on the
household. The party asked for supper
and was told to be seated until the meal
was prepared. Two girls, delicate and
with much WEAKNESS in their faces,
spread the table. When the meal was
brought on, they simply said. Supper is
ready" and disappeared.
The party gathered about the meal,
and 1t was agreeably Disappointing

party discovered that there was one Of
those old time melodeons in an out Of the

at the keys, and as the mournful melo-

RAPIDS PILOTS OUT.
A Dozen of Them Suspended for 30 Days
What 1t Means.

The licenses of ~ Rock Island rap
ids pilots have been suspended for 30
days by the local board of steamboat
inspectors whose headquarters are at
Dubuque. The action is supposed to
have been caused by the determine
ton the pilots have evineed to pilot
no boat over the rapids whose regu-
lar pilot was not member of the
Pilots association. 1t is Judged that
the local board is inclined to frowu
upon this attitude of the men who
have monopoly of the rapids bust
ness, and that they have applied the
whip in the shape os suspension of
the licenses.
These y men are the only licensed
rapids pilots-the only men compe-
tent to guide rafters and packets
through the narrow and devious
channel between LeCldire and Rock
Island, especially ut the present
stage of low water. The owner of
any boat crossing the rapids in either
direction without one of these men at
the wheel, is subject to a fine. Now
these men are denied the right of 60
ing on with their work; there are no
others capable or licensed to take it
up; the river traffic must therefore
cease unless the order is revoked.

points down the river must close
down as soon as the supply of logs in
their booms gives out. ut the best
within a weeks time. The Diamond

INTO THE COURTS.
The First Avenue Property
Holders Seek Redress.
THE NATURE OF THE APPEAL

Claim That the r. 1. & p Road Has no
Legal Track Right There. and They Pray
the Circuit Court to Settle the Matter
Nature of the Suit and Claims Set up.
Late yesterday afternoon City At
torney j. l.. Haas on behalf of Peter
Stelck. j. W. Bracket, j. NJ. Boards
ley, d. &. White, W. o. Negus. John
Bogue and Fred Hass, filed in the of
flee of the clerk of the circuit court
a bill in chancery praying the court
to compel the r. l. a. p. railway to
vacate First avenue. The bill sets
forth in the first place the various
ordinances under which the road is
occupying the avenue between Flew
enth and Fifteenth streets, and holds
that such ordinances are invalid. 1t
is set forth that the complainants
live on First avenue. and that the
company occupies almost the entire
street, rendering it useless as a thor
oughfare, and that by running the
trains in n manner in which il does.
and in fact doing all the business of
the company on the street. their
property is permanently damaged.
1t was always assumed on the part of
the railroad company that the street
is only 50 feet wide, but according
to the original plat the street at its
widest place is 200 feet, and by oper-
alton OF law runs down to the river
bank.
The prayer is that the railroad
company take up and remove such
tracks as would be considered loca-
ted there without authority of law,
and put the street, as far as circum-
stances will permit, into the condi-
ton in which it was before the rail-
road entered; that it further make
to the property owners reasonable
compensation for the injury and dam
age which they have sustained so far:
and that upon final hearing the rail
road be restrained by the order of the
court from maintaining and operat-
ing the Objectionable tracks and
from running and operating cars or
trains over them.
What is Sought.
When seen on the subject this
morning, Mr.. Haas said the property
holders did not seek to deprive the
road of its means of entry into the
city, but to compel it to abandon
unnecessary tracks and along so much
of the avenue as is included between
Eleventh and Fifteenth to require
the company to place its tracks on q
trestle built out into the river. The
controversy between the property
holders and the r. l. & p road has
been long existing and has been be-
fore the council on numerous occa-
sions on the question of vested rights,
and it is quite probable that now
that it has been carried into the
courts. long and complicated legal
fight will ensue.
