FASHIO.s AID FABRIC.

Moonlight gray il a beautiful ~opaline
tint of that very fashionable color.
Fine india cash nero or drap d etc is an
ideal material for young girls best
dresses.
Petunsa continues to be a very fashion
able color. the pinkish rather than the pur-
pie red of the flower being favored.
The newest skirts on evening toilets are
very light and supple, being merely silk
lined and not ut all stiffened with interim
ing.
AS "a trimming lace appliques are al
ways artistic. The lace sprays and special
pieces loo very handsome laid ON velvet,
satin or silk grounds.
The very newest head covering is a
graceful replica of the old English walk
ing hat, with crowns, both round and
square, to suit various faces.
A very large number of evening dresses
are made with transparent sleeves reach
ing to the waist. The bodice proper may
have a transparent yoke or guimpe to COR
respond.
To replace the winter coats of fur
French ~ateliers are making some stylish
Louis XIV models of black and colored vel
vets which are somewhat longer than the
Louis Seize jackets to be worn with skirts
of silk or cloth.
Modistes are making considerable use of
shirred silk, which to many is a pleasing
change from silk Of the accordion plated
variety. 1t is utilized for tabliers, entire
waists, sleeves, yokes, guimpes, vest fronts
and like purposes.
More high necked dinner gowns have
been worn this winter than for many sea-
sons past, and even for very grand dinners
and for debutantes the half low bodice is
finished with a guimpe russo of transparent
textile laid in %shirrings, plaits or tucks.
Very beautiful "kid cloth" costumes are
being made for elegant spring wear. This
fabric in finest wool is the most eautiful
quality in cloth of light weight that has
ever been produced on any loom in France.
The surface of the fabric is as soft and
flexible as that of ar undressed bid glove
hence its naine.-New York Post.

At the Frisco.

The people of Neihart will have a
rare treat in the way of a very fine show
next Monday and Tuesday when "Thc
Orris Ober Co.." will appear at the Fris-
co Opera House. On the first night
they will appear in the entertaining
piece entitled "Not Guilty" The play
for the following evening will be an
nounced later. In order to meet the
stringency Of the times, the management
has decided to make the prices popular.
namely 25c., 35c., and SOC. Under
these circumstances none should fail to
avail themselves of this splendid oppor-
tunity to see one Of the very best COM
panies that ever visited Neihart. This
is what the Aberdeen, S. d., State Dem
ocrat of Dec. 31st says:
The Miss Orris ODER Company is
playing to packed houses every night.
This is the best company that has struck
Aberdeenfor many Walter
Crow, the Hoosier violinist, is n great
favorite and every member Of the COM
pany is an artist of exceptional ability.
1t is a pleasure to attend a theatrical
performance where character is delineat,
ed true to life. Aberdeen people are
quick to recognize talent, and discern
very quickly between the artist and the
barn stormer. TO individualize on the
merits of the different members would
be ~superfluous, they are actors and act,
resses of ability and the show is good
from start to finish. The specialties are
very clever. The company will remain
all next week, and we bespeak for then
what they inertia crowded house ev
cry night. Their repertoire of plays EN-
braces many of the latest successes ant
no chestnuts. The company's represent

The Union Celebrates.

June 18th at Neihart was celebrated
as usual except that the field sports
were eliminated from the program. The
town was decorated throughout with
evergreens and bunting, and the voice
of the firecracker was heard in the land.
The procession was formed at Union
hall at 10 o'clock as follows:
J. J. Stewart, standard bearer
Neihart Free Coinage Band
Coming Men of America
Neihart Fire Department EN- uniforme
Belt Mountain Miners Union.
The Coming Men of America made a
fine showing with their banners and gay
paraphenalia. Albert Bronson was
chief banner bearer. The line of march
was to the Park hotel and return. The
procession was one of the largest and
finest ever seen in camp.
In the afternoon an exciting game of
ball was played by the first and second
mines, the first winning the match.
A tug of wal was tried between the
miners of the Big Seven and those of
the Florence. The Seven boys won the
first two heats and took the beer-three
kegs. 1t was an interesting contest.
The ball in the evening was well at
tended. The music was fine and all
present had a good time.

Especial to the MINER1-The American
marines at Guantanamo have been
joined by 1900 insurgents and on Tues
day they defeated the Spaniards, killing
about fortyof them. One American was
wounded. The Cubans did excellent

All ources of supply for Santiago are
now cut off and the people. who are now
on short r~ations. are nearing starvation.
American spies have now located all
the Spanish boats in the harbor and
their position. The dynamite cruiser

the first time against Moro castle and
proved very satisfactory.
The second expedition for the Philip

The house has passed the Hawaiian

communicated to those present the let
ter he had addressed to the court of cas-

assumed an exceptionally grave charac-

pllne and shake the confidence of the
soldiers in their chiefs and introduce
the germ of disorganization into the ar

justified in view of the fact that the
Dreyfus affair has entered upon a jul

which is generally believed here to be
the case, you can rest assured that the
