The spring opening at Lopez's mil
linery parlors last Saturday was
most complete success in every sense
of the word. The display of beautiful
hats, ribbons and flowers and the love-
ly millinery novelties that charm and
captivate the feminine eye were there
in profusion and presented delightful
ana pleasing picture. Miss Hender-
son, the young lady in charge. is
trimmer of rare good taste and judg-
ment, and has thoroughly demonstrate
ed her ability and ingenuity in impro
vising the dainty creations that please
and charm the seekers after fine mill
linery. A very pleasing feature of the
opening day were the souvenirs
handsome scarf pins, set with various
colored stones.
Several hundred dollars can be
spent to advantage on the schoolhouse
grounds and in repairing the building.
The water pipes and cutters leak in
various places, to the injury of the
building. The plank walks leading to
the we'll and outhouses, as well as that
from the gate to the entrance to the

condition. The ground between the
building and the well is much lower
than that adjacent, and after rains
beautiful puddles are formed by the
water the depression retains. Fill it
up to a level with it's surroundings.

the broken pipes, Messieurs School
Directors, and the rising generation

The following in reference to the
proposed southeast insane asylum is
taken from jefferson City correspond
euce to the Fredericktown Democrat
NeaOS: The statement sent out from
here last week to the city papers, and
copied in the weeklies of Southeast
Missouri to the effect that the bill pro-
viding for the Southeast Missouri in
sane asylum had finally passed both
branches of the legislature was little
premature. The house amended the
bill so as to require $50 acres for site
instead of 160, which sent it back to
the senate. An emergency clause,
which was lacking in the original bill,
will also be tackled on before it is sent
on final passage again. 1t is stated
that applications are before the gov
ernor from one or more citizens OF
jefferson, St. Francois, Iron and Car
ter and quite like from all the rest in |
the great Southeast for appointment on
the asylum commission" l."
In the production of a play, the
patron of the theatre sees the finished
work-he knows nothing comparative

devoted to the merest detail of what |
appears to him simple grouping or a !

told that the fate of the work hung |
upon the fall of piece of drapery or
