Texas Editor on women's Fashions

some specimens of gall till me with
awe by their greatness, some amuse
me- while others only spoil my appe-

kicker who is forever Tuning about
feminine fashions. If the hoop skirt

the pullback makes its appearance he
has fit and falls in it. The high hat
is his bette noire, and the small bonnet
gives him the mulligrubs. The train
IS an abomination in the light of this
lord of milady's wardrobe, the deco,-
lete as the pestilence that walketE in
darkness. The French corset mGketh
him to moan in bitterness Of spirit;
the Mother Hubbard to cry havoc and
let slip The dogs of war. As the self
constituted censor of female fashions
he's industrious as nigger working
By the job with a camp meeting on his
fright hand and circus on his left.
Don't mind him, ladies. Like pea
cock crying in the night, he's disa-

ctan-BOdy to he Sent Home.
James B. Sheldon, who was found dead
early on the morning of Dec. 9Th, on the
sidewalk near the Jackson street en-
trance to the Grand Pacific, had been
boarding at that hotel, having come there
about a month ago from st. Louis. Mr..
Sheldon was connected with the Colum-
bian Underground Electric Traction
Company of st. Louis. In his room is a
model OF an electric railway on which he
secured two patents, one in May of 1891,
and another in January of 1893.
The cause OF Mr.. Sheldon's death was
heart disease, and he had been suffering
from that complaint for several months.
He was about forty-eight years OF age.
A few minutes before 3 o'clock in the
morning he dressed himself and left his
room, telling some of the hotel employees
whom he met in the lobby that he was
unable to sleep and was going ont into
the cold air to see If that would induce
d~rowsiness. He walked out of the Jack
son street door and some time afterward
his body vas found on the sidewalk. The
deceased lived at 1924 Chouteau avenue,
where he leaves a widow and eight chill
dren. The body was removed to Jor-
dams undertaking establishment and will
be sent to st. Louis for burial.IChi-

Some of our Nebraska newspaper
proprietors are enclosing posters in their
papers, making free distribution through
the mails, in the county where their
papers are published, and thus cheating
our Uncle Samuel out of some money
that justly belongs to him. There seems
to be a mistaken idea abroad, even
among the newspaper fraternity, in re-
gard to supplements, the notion being
that anything goes, 80 that the word

understanding Is that the supplement is

-Tm J0uRxAL calls special attention
to the number Of tax sales recorded this
week in another place. Including lots
in Columbus, there we're some sixty sales
since last report. It IL another evi-
dence. If any were needed, that . lien
upon Nebraska lands is regarded % .
good thing by those who have the money
to place. The security is ample, the
land often being worth forty to two hun
dred times the investment, and the
interest (twenty per cent per annuml il
away out Of sight" 20 to SPEAK. On the
other hand, the tweaty Per cent is %
enormous q rate, working perpetually
day and night, week days and Sundays,
cold or warm, rainy or sunshiny weather,
that the owner Of the land has every in
ducement to lift this lien the first Of all.
1t is a good thing for the public gener-
ally that there are those who can invest
in these securities, because thus the
money is available for paying the sala-
ries Of public officials. the expenses OF
the courts and the thousand and one
other little bills that the people have to
foot. However, the situation reminds
one Of the story OF the shepherd dog in
the mountains, whose immediate master
died, leaving the dog in sole charge Of
the flock. To provide for himself, it was
aacerfained that vhon he ont
out OF food, it was his custom to catch
and kill the last sheep of the flock to
enter the corral for that evening. The |
fame OF that knowing dog has gone far
and wide, and his deeds will be handed !
down to future generations. Nebraska
laws formerly allowed forty per cent in.
terest, they now allow twenty only, and
perhaps after while they will be satisfied
with 'the little eve lamb"
