Notes on ssasonabie Belongings to woman's
Dress.
The skirt and blazer will be quite rs
popular as II was last year. Dress
skirts are In the market and may be
had In serge, cheviot, camels hair and
various wool fabrics. This is in re-
Spouse to most imperative demand,
and will be found very great con-
venience for ladies who have hereto
fore been obliged to make their own
skirts. Some OF them arc extremely
we'll made, and not specially expensive;
others are as bad as can be and cost in
proportion. OF course, there are high
grade skirts in elegant materials of all
sorts, and for these there is n steadily
increasing call.
Simple house dresses Of nuns veil
ing, tamis cloth, fine cashmere and the
various light weight wooden fabrics,
with which the market is well supplied,
are among the absolute necessities for
the well dressed woman.
AS II there were not enough variety
in styles and materials, one importer
has sent over dress Of pale blue satin,
with an over-dress OF chiffon, and over
this drapery of the thinnest net, EN-.
broidered in floss silk.
China silks IRE being made up into
the most exquisite of tea gowns. They
are trimmed with lace AMI embroidery
and ribbon, and are among the com.
forting and dainty accessories in which
every woman delights.
Eton jackets are TO be worn. One
costume Is Of black cloth, with Eton
jacket trimmed with white satin. The
lapels. collar and facinrs are of white,
and. while exceedingly delicate, the eff
feet is rather pleasing.
Coats and jackets are shorter than
heretofore, and most of them are
double breasted, although, as the sea-
son advances. the single-brcasted gar
ment will be more popular.
Elbow-sleeves with enormous frills
viii! be popular for summer dresses. -

Somebody is in the habit of turn
ing horses and cows loose in the
city cemetery. This should not be
done. People take pride in fixing
up their lots in the cemetery and 1t
is a shame that people should have
no more sense of decency than to
turn stock loose in the city of the
dead.

Moving Wichita to 0alena.

1t has long been conceded that
Galena is the most pushing town in
all these parts. People are flocking
here from every direction, and hard
ly day passes that there is not n
flock of capitalists from some place
looking over the town and her min
ing fields, endcavoring TO get hold
of some one of the prizes and get
in on the ground floor. These things
are common occurrences and big
deals no longer create any surprise
or comment. But who would have
thought that there was any posi-
bility of Galena gobbling up towns
so remote as Wichita: Yet it is so
in a measure. Away out in the corn
fields, miles from the center of
Wichita, are hundreds of fine dwell
ling houses that were built in the
balmy boom days when the people
of the town imagined that all they
lacked of having Chicago was a
few houses. The bubble bursted
and the boom fell. Many of the
houses erected were never occupied
and are now being sold at anything
they will bring. Vim. Smith has
purchased one of these houses. one
that cost more than $1,000 to build
and Chas. Luther has taken con-
tract to take it down and move il to
Galena, where it will be erected on
the corner of Seventh and Galena
avenue. just south of b. S. Moore's
residence.
Should the experiment prove sue
cessful, more of the windy city will
probably be brought 10 Galena in
the near future.--Galena Post.

was listened to with close attention.
A lack of seats caused some to leave.
If we had a properly furnished room
for such entertainments, such annoy
ances would soon cease. The class
took a ~well-earned rest. and reposed
gracefully in patent rockers until after
their diplomas were presented. There
were oceans Of flowers and many

BOUNTY FOR SUGAR.
Germany VIII Continue the Rate Now in

Force.
Washington, June 17.-Consul Muth.
at Madgeburg, Germany, a sent to the
state department a report on the pre-
liminRry sugar law of Germany. He
say the German government has come
to the relief of the beet sugar, industry
by submitting to the reichstag a pre-
liminary law which provides that until
July /. 1899, the rate Of export bounty
now in force shall continue. Under the
sugar law of 1891. the rates would have
been reduced after Aug. /, 1895. and aft
err Aug. !, 1897, the export bounty was
to have been discontinued Germany.
he says, now pays a lower export boun-
ty than n other competing country,
and a reduction would Ia se been sui
cidal. The country is now in q deplor-
able state, and nothing will save 1t
from serious loss unless growth and un-
natural extension are checked. Ger
many will probably make another at
tempt to abolish Or regulate the bounty
system Internationally, but Mr.. Muth
doubts if a satisfacto y understanding
can be reached. Many conferences have
been held recently with a view to inn
proving the sugar interests, but as yet
preliminary law c~ont..4uing, the present
bounty will enable the government to
thoroughly consider the sugar question.
a new law will III be submitted,
which will answer the various demands
of local interest throughout the enpire.

TO DrsPossEss SETTLERS.
Serious Condition of Affairs in South
Dakota.

Chamberlain, s. D.. June 17.-By the
location of a boundary line sixty settlers
are found tobe, with their crops and i'm
provements, located in the Rosebud In
dian reservation. This is the serious
condition of affairs that exists in Greg
ory county, south of here; a condition
Of affairs that may result In a bloody
clash between the settlers and the Rose
bud agency Indians. Up to February
10, 1890. Gregory county was a part Of
the Sioux reservation. but on that day
was included in the il 900. 600 acres relin-
pushed by the Sioux and thrown open
to white settlement. The soil in thai
section is first-class and it was not long
until practically every acre Of what was
supposed to be the ceded land n that
county was surveyed. As most OF
the settlers are poor il viii be a great
hardship to them If they are compelled
10 o at on-e and thus lose their
crops. To prevent this the fqratters
have D. I'd a meeting and petitioued the
government authorities to permit them
TO remain where they are until their
crops are harvested.

Indiana Liquor Dealers and Temperance
People Lock Horns.

Indianapolis, Ind. June IL. This
week will witness the Inauguration OF
open warfare between the liquor dealers
and the law and order leagues of this
state. The Nicholson bill will, with its
sweeping changes, become operative,
and the enforcement of the law will be
bitterly resisted by Indiana saloon
keepers. Twenty cities and towns in
northern Indiana ave reported that
almost without exception no steps haye
been taken by liquor dealers to obsy the
law, which is accepted as significant of
a prolonged contest in the courts. 1t
is further stated hat in a number of
counties in northern Indiana the tenn
perance people expect TO drive every
saloon out within one year under the
local option section of the law. Legal
opinion is to the effect that the Law is
unconstitutional, and consequently in
operative. In the central AM southern
part of the state the situation is similar.
