TEE LATEST FASHIONS.

A stylish and popular cape ext .nds about as low as the elbows. It is quite full. the fullness being usually of straight widths gathered into yoke.
 A fashion which sometimes seems to become quite popular is that of pipings or cords. This is a short-lived style and is by no means suitable for elegant ma terials
 .Elaborateness is being displayed in the makeup of sleeves. Many of them are composed almost entirely of lace and insertion; others are tucked round and round and others are covered with rows of trimming.
 Dresses of muslin. organdie and ba- tiste have tlle rufiles edged with nar row lace. There may be but one or veveral ruffles on the skirts and they are set either in clusters at the foot or at regular intervals, covering about half the length of the skirt.
 One of the handsomest waists of the season is made of white China crape. It has vest, collar and cuffs of white satin, and a stock collar and bows of white satin ribbon. It is worn with skirt of black satin made plainly. save for three bias ruffies at the hem.
 It seems to make less difference this year just what you wear than how you wear it. Dresses need not be at all ex- penslve; in fact, some of the six-cent lawns and dimites make as pretty and stylish dresses as one could wish for. It is the way they are made and the fashion of wearing them.
 A simple waist of taffeta is slightly full at the belt and yoke. The sleeves are quite wide at the tops and from the collar out over the shoulders are point ed sections of the material edged with crimped ruffles of the goods. wide plait down the front is similarly edged and the turned-over collar and cuffs are of white piCue.-N.

STATE RAILROADS.
The Board Issues Statement As to the
 Course It Will Pursue.

Course It Will Pursue.
 The state board provided for in the Bush bill. composed of the governor, auditor and attorney general, gives out the following. setting forth the condi- tions under which state roads are to be constructed with convict labor:
 Notice is hereby given to the people of the state Of Arkansas that, by virtue of the power vested in us by the act of the general assem- oily. entitled, An act to create state board to locate. establish. survey, build, equip and oper- ate state railroads and telegraph; to provide she manner for ra sing the revenue for such purposes; to provide a penalty for misappro- priating money, and for other purposes ap- proved June 24 1897 we will open subscription hSoks for donations of land and money to aid in the construction of railroads and telegraph in the state Of Arkansas.
 When in the judgment of the board sum- cient sum ot money has been raised to justify the work of construction, the board will out line the proposed road to be built, and will pro- ceed to locate the same giving preference to such line as shall be most profitable to the state in the way of development of the states resources, and giving accommodation to such parts of the state as are not traversed by rail- roads. as well to the contributions offered, and the probable amount of business to be done by such road
 The people are ad'1 oniShed that the board has no manner of appropriations for mourning any expense, so that it will be compelled to re- quire donations of money in sufficient amount from any proposed line of road to enable it to bear the expense of locating the road and other needful expenses Whenever proposal shall be sent to the board to build a road along any given line subscription books may be opened by the people interested In such proposed line and forwarded to the board at Little Rock. Communications seeking information as to the rules and regulations adopted by the board, if addressed to the governor. will receive prompt attention
 Whenever the people desire railroad to be built under the provisions of this act, and it be demonstrated that such proposed road will be profitable investment to the state. it will be built if the people themselves will afford suitable assistance to the board for that pur- pose. lnasmuch as the board must act with out partiality toward any locality. proposals will be taken up and considered in the order in which they received.
