and was witnessed by a large throng of
spectators. In the parade were several
hundred school children OF all ages and

The oratorlcal eveut of the day was the

ton Monday.

showing growing interest in the cause
the Independents represent. Many of
the delegates are among the leading clti-
zens in the county and city. and have
heretofore belonged to both the old
parties.
1t seems that a good many voters of
the county had not seen the published
call for the convention and therefore did
not know of the caucuses in time. In
several comfy precincts the presence OF
delegates today is said to show renewed
interest in the new movement for
more satisfactory state and national ad-
ministration of public affairs than the
old parties have given the country. The
presence of the delegates also indicates
that the Independents will take hand
in county affairs this fall, with the same
objects in view applied locally and nearer
at home.
The delegates to the county conven-
tion are as follows:
jamestown, First ward-J. U. LaFol-
lette, H. Slelght and Geo. W. Craven.

Third ward-W. NJ. Hall and e. w.
Huntington.
Fourth ward-N. G. Shaver.

Mutz-R G. Gott.
Ypsilanti-George D. Dewey, T. w.

The meeting was called to order by
Jno. Eager, chairman Of the county COM
mite. and K c. Gott, made chairman OF
the temporary organization, and B. G.
Dunlap, secretary. Upon John Eager,
H. Slight and Thos. Pendray, the CON-
mlttee on credentials, reporting the
names of those entitled to sit in the de-
liberations OF the convention, by motion

 There seems to be slight tendency toward double skirts, and that the chief ornamentations will not remain on the bodices, for moro trimmings of various kinds are finding their way on skirts.
 It has been formally decreed by the presiding genius of our dress destinies that the skirts shall be buttoned down one side Under this new regime, no longer is it necessary to endure that painful parting of skirt from bodice which disgraced so many of the fairest costumes in summer.
