come. A very '.chic'' costume from
Doucet, who has the art of combining
simplicity with styles and whose gowns
are pre-eminently in ''good form, ;" has
black satin stripe on a white ground.
The skirt is made perfectly plain, its
style being in the cut, which is admira-
BILE. The black and white silk reaches
only to the armpits at the side and is
finished heart shaped in front, the .ex.
treme point touching the collar, where
it ends in a spreading but narrow black
satin bow. The upper part Of the bodice
and sleeves is made of accordion plated
black mousseline de sole over white
silk. The sleeves are very much puffed
and reach only to the lower part of the
armholes, band Of the black and
white silk continuing to the elbow,
where it is finished with black satin
bows. The rest Of the arm is bare, to be
covered with long black gloves.
The sleeves appear to be smaller, the
pulled part being short, while the re-
mainder of the sleeve closely follows
the arm, becoming tight at the wrist.
In London they have introduced skirt
Of a new cut, which rests on the ground
and describes a series Of vandykes at the
foot. They give fullness and fall in fut-
ings, presenting most elegant and
charming effect. They have to be caught
together at the back with elastic, which
causes the skirt to sway around grace
fully. A broad waistband stitched to
the skirt and cut to fit the figure does
away with the silk belt and holds the
blouse firmly in place. " s.@. -
/ Two imported costumes seen recently
furnish details of incoming styles. One
was cloth dress trimmed With fiat
Cross bands, edged with machine stitch:
ing. ~Che skirt was cut with seam both
front and back and side darts to better
mold the hips. The sleeves, close fitting
at the wrists, had their fullness at the
top arranged In flat dropping folds; the
dark hat ornamented with ostrich
feathers and velvet rosettes. The second
costume was in gray crepon cloth, with
ohemisette and ohatelaine stripes in
butter colored lace. Pretty bows finished
of the shoulder slashes Of the full
bodice and the elbow sleeves, while up
right fan plaitings headed the treble 60

bordered with feather trimming, was

WORTH MONEY.
the Rain Of Friday Night and
Saturday Puts Out the
Fires. s

The rain which commenced Satur-
day morning is OF vast benefit to the
people of this section Of the country
and will be the means of saving
thousands OF dollars worth Of prop
erty. The rain OF a week ago gave
the fires set back fora day orsO but
they soon started up again and have
been raging since. The fires on the
West side were burning close to the
brick yards every day and at the
time OF the rain were within q
quarter of a mile from the big mead
ow, aid going with the wind.
Part Of the meadow had not been
cut or burned over for two years
and had the fire reached it no power
on earth could have saved the hay
stacked there. It would have been
carried to the brick yards. and in all
probability the buildings there
would have been destroyed. AS
soon as it commenced to rain some
Of the tnen from the brick yards
thought it safe to leave and drove
out to see the fire. It is practically
stopped there now, but it will re-
quire considerable more rain to put
out the fire which is still burning in
the boys. IT, :..-.H ~.>s-
A great deal of damage was done
in Randall town the past week and
it is reported that one man lost his
eyes by the fire and others were in
jured but the names of the parties
cannot he learned.
This rain is the greatest blessing
that ever visited Morrison county.

CROOKED STATEMENT. ].
i apparently Closes the Hr-
gunent az far a. the Gang
IL Concerned.
Not q Public whimper Hbosat
Il Since It's Falsehood and
Error Was shown.

The court house gang willdoutlees
try to keep up their courage. and do
their best to rally party feeling to
continue them in power, but it is
plain to all citizens, and must be es-
pecially evident to their formerfollow-
ing, that the present officers are do
ing all in their power to avoid public
consideration of the effects of their
controlof Morrison county during
1893 and previous years.
The plain anu distinct duty OF the
county officers is to conduct the al
fairs Of the county in the interests of
the taxpayers. It is their duty to
perform such acts as public officials
as the law requires them to, and to
devote the receipts from taxes to
paying the proper expenses of the
county. They have no right, as SER
wants Of the people, to extrava-
gantly spend the peoples money, or
to (after all the money has been
spent pile up thousands Of dollars
Of debt for future taxes or bonds to
pay. This, however, is just what
the present rulers of Morrison
county have done. According to a
statement Of both Democratic pa
pers the floating debt amounted to
over $23, 900 on Jan. l Of this year.
Is it fair to claim that such result
could follow proper administra-
tion Of county affairs? On, the plain
face Of the statement it would seem
the county was not warranted in be-
ing plunged that deeply into debt.
Unless some reason can be given for
it, the conviction will strengthen
that no good excuse can be given for
the great increase in debt. None
can be given, and the entire crowd
deserve defeat, land will get their de-
serts. -
The silence OF the Democratic pa
pers and the court house crowd on
the financial condition of Morrison
county was broken by the publica-
cation OF a statement in the Demo-
cratic papers Of Sept. 20 and 81 con-
corning county finances. The state
ment was dishonest, false, deceptive
and in all respects crooked" No
county officer will dare to endorse
that statement. It is bad enough
to be connected with a gang that
makes such a record in the county,
butt is infinitely worse to attempt,
to deceive the taxpayers about the
matter. The evident policy of the
supporters of the Democratic county
ticket is to ignore any discussion of
the financial condition OF the county
where possible, but where something
must be said, to use falsehood and
deception. The exposure of that
statement made by the Transcript
was absolutely true, and no Demo-
cratic paper or official can deny It,,
Ignore it; ignore it; your crooked
ness was exposed 4-s. r

THE KNIGHTS DANCE.
They Give Their First Ball
Friday Night.

The Select Knights Of America
gave their first ball Friday evening at
the Fireman's hall on the West side
and it was a success in every partic-
ular. In the evening before the ball
the Knights gave a parade ON the
business streets headed by the
Harmonic band Ira T.. Warren
was marshall and John Leibel was
captain. After marching through
the principal streets they performed
difficult drill on the square. It is
the only uniformed secret society in
the city and their performance as
well.as being something new to our
people was highly pleasing, and
gave them some idea OF the excellent
drill that each member Of the society
must learn. After the drill the
Knights marched to the hall which
was beautifully decorated with
bunting, flags and flowers. .The
dance commenced about 8 o'clock
and the dancers continued to trip
the light fantastic until midnight
when they marched to the Berke
hotel, just across from the hail and
partook Of an elegant report. They
then returned to the hall and danced
for several hours. Excel lent music
was rendered BY an orch estra Of i
eight pieces.

STRUCK By A FREIGHT.
Martin Cain Seriously injured at
N Cotton. -

The east bound fast freight which passes
through this city about 5:3O a. m, every
day ran into a hand car in charge of
Martin Cain section boss, at Cotton last
Wednesday. There was dense fog at the
time and Mr.. Cain with two other men were
going to their daily work on the hand car.
The freight was heard to whistle and the
men put forth every effort to reach the next
crossing so as to remove the car and leave the
train pass. The distance was miscalculated
and ON account of the fog the train was upon
them before they had time to jump. The
hand car was demolished and the men
thrown from the track. r,r,i
Mr.. Caia sustained serious if not fatal
injuries His right leg was broken in two
places, several ribs fractured and his skull
cut. He was taken to his home in Cotton,
and attended by the Wabash company's
physician, being removed Thursday to St.
Louis where he will be placed in the road's
hospital. He may lose his leg as it is terri
bly, crushed. John Church was slightly cut
about the head while the third gentleman
escaped uninjured.
Mr.. Cain was well-known in Napoleon and
has many friends here unite in extending
sympathy to him aud his excellent family.
