FRlLLS OF FASHION.

Mauve and brown are one of the pop
ular contrasts in millinery.
Torchon and valenciennes patterns
combined are the new laces for trim
ming undergarments. ...
Blouse waists of velvet or velveteen,
with q narrow metal belt, are the cor
rect bodice for skating costumes.
Watches have gradually diminished in
size until now the very latest bit Of
enamel, set round with diamonds, is no
larger than mans signet ring.
One secret of success in dress is to
find out the colors which are most be-
coming and never wander away from
these, no matter what the fashion is.
Mahogany-co hair is the latest
fad, and the transition period between
dark brown and this coveted shade of
red is very interesting to the keen OBJ
server.
Satin ribbon two inches'wide, plated
on the inside of the skirt at the bottom,
is the balayeuse which fashion favors
just at present. It is more durable than
the pinlied silk ruffle.
Fine book muslin in all the pretty light
tints is used for evening waists for the
young girls, and it is made over cheap
silk or satin, trimmed with lace anu
ribbons and worn with light-colored Or
black silk skirts.
Muff chains of gold with diamonds
set ut intervals, so that they are open on
both sides, are one of the novelties in
Jewelry. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds
nnd amethysts are also distributed in
the same manner.

registration increase in Chicago was
announced The Post. Dispatch declar-
ed it unaccountable i'll view of the
q fact that the last preceding Chicago

padding had revealed u stationary

The Tribune says that the increase

Thursday night, at Olympia Thea
ter, will open the season to our thea
ter-goers with one of the most popular
and widely known comedians on the
American stage, Mr.. NJ. B. Curtis.
Mr.. Curtis has played "Sam1 of
Posen" so long that he is about as
frequently referred to as Sam'l of
Posen" as he is as Curtis. He is the
only actor on the stage who attempts
to depict in a stellar role the true
traits of the Hebrew character. In
impersonating his roll, Mr.. Curtis
makes no attempts whatever at the
burlesque possibilities, but plays it i'll
a legitimate manner, showing both the
foibles, the weakness, the strength and
the logic of the Hebrew character as
seen in real life. In the play SamI
of Posen" begins his career as a street
peddler, he sells razors and jack
knives, scissors, suspenders and collar
buttons, in fact anything with which
he can turn quick and profitable
bargain. The company that will sup
port this celebrated star during his
engagement in this city, is OF the same
artistic reputation that has always
aided the actor in plays given by him.
Sale of seats for the engagement of M.
B. Curtis will commence at O'Connor's
Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. An
immense audience it is expected will
be present.

The Aberdeen Herald says that
when the steamer Montesano goes to
the Humptulips after raft of logs,
she usually anchors over night on the
mud flats and when the tide was gone
out to the proper depth and the boat
settled firmly in the mud, the cook
gets the engineer to start the engine
slowly, and the moving wheel washes
CLAIMS out by the bushel.

O'Clock, $3.50; arc lights to burn all

The former price was SO, $40 and
and SIP, respectively.
Incandescent light for Office and
similar purposes, Soc per 16 c. p. lamp

increase when less than five les are
taken) and 81 per 16 C. p. lamp for
commercial purposes with % per
cent. reduction ON all lamps in excess
of ten les in both of the above rates.
A reduction in the price of lamps
renewed will also be made, rs, les and
las costing but SOC and 32s 40c each,

s. w. Smith, reports a curiosity
from his grain field, in Whitman coun-
ty. He found head of wheat upon
which was growing a well-developed
grain of wild oats.
The Cascade division of the Marcus
and Marblemount state road has been
completed, aud there is 81, 400 of the
appropriation left, enough to complete
the other two divisions.
Henry Lawrence, operating a ranch
on the eastern border of Chehalis
county, is reported to have raised 254
tons of timothy hay this year on
acres OF land. 1t Melted him Sc per

Superintendent Cooney, of the
Gray's Harbor Commercial Company,
went to Seattle last week to secure 80
men-if he can-intending to run the
sawmill at Cosmopolis night and day
hereafter.
Commissioner T. J. Longs hop crop
this year breaks the record, says the
Chehalis Nugget. From seven acres
he had taken 81 tons Saturday night,
and still had half a ton to pick. He
says that there were fully 100 boxes of
hops in the yard which were not picked
on account OF mold.
A. j. Thompson, prominent farmer
residing at Hite Station, near Rear
don, met with a painful accident last
Saturday while stacking grain with a
derrick. One of the guy ropes parted
and let the pole fall on him, breaking
his right leg in two places below the
knee, besides bruising him otherwise.
An important change is to be made
in the Puget sound customs district on
October l, when the Office of customs
auditor for the district will be abolished,
and the office of cashier created to
take the place of the Office abolished.
James w. Jones, present customs
auditor, will then be retired from the
service, and Edmund Huestis will take
his desk, as cashier.
The outlook on the hop question Is
very gratifying, and the average
Yakima grower realizes the fact and
is not at all anxious to sell at the
present time, says the Yakima Re
public. A 12-cent sale has been re-
ported, but as whole, growers are
holding Off for better price. There
will be very little selling until the

Frank Cotter won three out of the

made a flying visit to Olympia last
week. He has a claim in the mining
region which is said to be worth $780,

There is hope for Olympia, if the
words of an experienced observer are
in any degree prophetic. He says the
time is coming when the Capital City
will be the QUILTING point for extern
sive gold diggings to be opened up in
the Black Hills. Let his words 60 on
