Nobody Has
Complained!

Every pound of Blanke's Coffee is
sod on the broad guarantee th1t It
is the very purest and best that !
can buy anywhere. If 1t doesn't
give satisfaction, come back and
get your money.
But nobody has ever yet com-
planned or asked for their monty
back, and don't believe anyb 'dy
ever will. l feel tiat it would be
rs safe to give that ~ .rantee on a
whole train load as it is on one
pound.
If some people won't buy it, they
are losing more than / am. They
lose all the pleasure that comes
from drinking it, while only lose
the price. Three pounds for 81.

He died of pneumonia at the home
of Senator Mackay, in Keytesyille, at
I O'Clock n. m. on the 18th insS. after
an illness OF eight days. He was i'm
pressed from the beginning of his sick
ness that he would not get well, but
expressed confidence i'll his Savior, and
his willingness and readiness to go
hence when the summons came.
Senator Mackay bears testimony to
the fact that among the last things he
did, of which he was consious, was the
offering of an audible prayer. full of
love and faith. Mr.. Craig, or "Uncle
WIZ, as he was familiary called
made many friends among strangers
since making his home in Keytesyille.
He was faithful in his attendance upon
the preaching of the word, the prayer
meeting and the Sunday-school. He

grace. He was not ashamed to main-
tain the forms Of religion in his own
household, and the family altar was

his home circle. He was married
four times. The FIRST three wives;
bore him children. Three sons and.
three daughters survive him, all of
whom, we believe, are members Of the
church, and bear testimony to the ef
fciency of Cody examples and precepts
of pious parents In saving the children.
His youngest son, Johnnie, youth of
10 years, theological student of Gen.
ual college at Fayette, reached here
Sunday evening and renamed at the
fathers bedside, hoping against hope
for the recovery of the fond father,
who met him gladly, and frequently
pronounced a fathers blessing upon
him.
1 To show the uncertainty of all
human calculations, we mention this
circumstance: When "Uncle Wilr'
came to Keytesville he found Senator
| Mackay in very delicate health and the
request was made by the senator, wife
and daughter that he should remain
with them during the winter. The
senator has had two spells of sickness
since then. "Uncle Viii" helped nurse
him through both of them back to a
fair state of health, and now he sleeps
in death while the senator is enjoying
a good degree of health. The ways
of God are mysterious and above our
I ways. His remains were taken to the
Methodist church at 8 O'Clock p. m.
yesterday, where impressive funeral
services were conducted by Revs.
Shilling and Price, after which they
were laid to rest in the Keytesville
cemetery by the side of the sleeping
dust OF his brother, Rev. H. H. Craig,
of the Missouri conference, to await
the first resurrection.

attempt is made to initiate nature. This
is an Improvement in art that is worth
while TO cite. You look at the natural
flower garlands and you see that they
are initiated flowers, and they give you
no further sensation, but you look at
these ruches. which, whatever they
might be made of, are correct decora-
lions, and you experience delicious ser
prise to find that they are composed of
flowers. The principle is easy.
This paragraph may end usefully with
the account of a dinner gown easily
copied in extremely good taste. It is Of
blank brussels net, or any other thin
black material mounted over red silk.
The black skirt is entirely in side plaits,
and falls loose from the silk; the blouse
has a square neck and elbow sleeves,
and droops slightly over the belt all
round. The trimming is a paSsementerie
of garnet and red, sequins. It makes
lines down the skirt at intervals all
round, and lines down the sleeve, and is
richly massed on the blouse. This red
trimming could be replaced with net.
THE FASHION IN JEWELRY.
Jewels seem to be. worn less and less

FULL DRESS JEWELS.

But evening dress lends itself as much
as ever to jewel decorations. The low
neck calls for necklace and the short
sleeves for bracelets; with evening dress
one may still wear a brooch, and with
the blouse bodice in fashion buckles, par
ticularly diamond ones, have attained
some Importance
The vogue continues for coIored stones
They are set with diamonds or pearls.
which, being coIorless, form a neutral
background and means of keeping
them apart. Thus necklaces and brace
let's are made of rubies in alienation
with diamonds or emeraldS turn about
with pearls, each stone set separately,
and the settings linked together. Pearl
dog collars which are still the faVoTTte
necklace, have slides set with colored
stones bedded in diamonds.
This passion for color has led to the
combining of transparent light on the
pearl. 1t should be set with a diamond:
also it may be set with an opal. for the
crimson of one seems to find an echo in
the red flames of the other with a re
suit that is exquisite. The emerald and
the amethyst combine perfectly with
pearls.
OpaIs continue very fashionable, as do
turquoises and other translucent and
apogue stones. These can be combined
for color without the disadvantage that
pertains to the brilliants and some of the
most beautiful jewels Of this year are
formed of such stones in contrast. Thus
a necklace of cut coral and black pearls
in alienation, separated by space of
three or four smaller diamonds. This IS
delicious. Another similar arrangement
is of turquoises and moonstones.
The same rules Of combination hold
good for rings.
There is a great deal of colored enam-
cling, and as the French are past mast
ers in this art some wonderful work is to
be seem 1t is particularly applied to
