- ---------T---7---- ------------77------ fl LESSON WE'LL UTHT.

There is one place in Kansas where they have got over the notion that there isn't gold enough. During the recent campaign Jerry Simpson told an audi ence in Barber county that when the plutocrats said there was plenty of gold in the country, and that any man could get all of it he liked. they were blufflng and lying. A Medicine Lodge banker in the audience resolved to teach Simp- son and the Simpsonites lesson. He said that by the great horn spoon he would show the people of Barber coun- ty not only that gold was plenty, but also that it was as free to circulate as any other kind of money. So he com menced to ship in gold. Every time he had a remittance coming from the East he asked that it be sent in the yellow metal. A Wichita bank which had be- come overburdened with gold coin sent him all he wanted of it in exchange for greenbacks and silver certificates, and little by little this form of currency took the place in Barber county of all other kinds of money. 'At present." says the Wichita banker, "there is lit- tie money in circulation in that county except gold and some silver for small change. I was down there the other day and the people were kicking like so many steers. The conditions reminded me of the time in California when peo- pie were compelled to take gold or noth- ing. If Simpson can find a man in Barber county who doesn't believe that there is plenty of gold in circulation he will do better than I did. I believe I could go down there and organize party on the theory that gold is too common and that the people ought to be relieved of the necessity of taking

coat, gloves and hat being removed, Miladi is as daintly dressy as any one Braidng of one sort or another appears on most tailor gowns, but the aim now is not to stick on all that is possible, but to apply a moderate quantity in an original way. This was accomplished in this pictured tailor-made, which was a tight-ftting princess of black kersey. The fronts were trimmed In the manner indicated with bias folds and wide ma genta braid. The big point to be re- membered in tailor trimming is that 1t should be put on in some new design
 Here are some other hints to be borne in mind. The patelot is the fashionable e over-garment. Gray is the color for all semi-dress occasion. Stubby shoes are worn with practical tailor gowns, pat ent feathers of daintier shape with dress street gowns, fancy feathers and des- signs with house and dressy gowns, em- hroidered and jeweled satin with high heels for balls. Hat, gloves and shoes must correspond in degree of drsssiness. If you are going to wear stubby tan shoes you cannot be permitted to wear silk velvet hat or a dress bonnet. White or delicate gloves imply dressy shoes and a hat to match. Dark and practical gloves music not be worn with a dress hat If you affect the sheath fitted skirt moulded to your figure at the back your corsets must spread open at the back from the waist down and be very wide apart at the lower edge, though not loose.
 The bolero will not down. A pretty form of it now used has the round effect in front and runs up to almost the mid de of the back. It has the look of triple bolero, an edge of velvet being used, and another of the material, to finish it. The edge may be left plain or be finished with jet, which is handsom- CT. A satin corn may be used as an edge, too, and this has the advantage of being newer than the others

THERE IRE OTHERS.

MT Wolfer of Minnesota definitely announces that our prison warden he cannot be, and he also says that he will tell President Cheney why sometime. If President Cheney is interested in the explanation we hope he will get it, but the people of the State don't care much how MT. Wolfer happened to make such mess, and they are willing to have the incident closed. The Hartford Times, which knows, encouragingly says that the directors have knowledge of others among whom they expect to find a man of such capacity and experience as to assure an enlightened and satisfactory administration of the prison on meth ods that will commend themselves to all who know what is required and what may be expected. Although it al most seemed that MT. Wolfer was really the only prison warden worth mention- ing we believe the directors will be able to have the prison conducted so that some of the people in the State will be pleased.

CONSISTENT.

Consistency is jewel, and it is some- times a costly one. The head men of Memphis, Tennessee, wanted to issue some bonds to extend the ctys water works system. The approval of the legislature was needed and they pre- sented a bill, general in it's nature but really applicable to their case, authorlz- ing taxing districts cities, and towns with population of at least 60,000 to build or buy waterworks, and to issue therefor bonds not exceeding S2,000,00 for any place, which shall be payable in such money as the legislative coun- sel or other government agency of the said taxing district, city, or town may determine" The head men intended to issue gold bonds and thus get the money at a low rate of interest. The pass the bill, but the approval of the governor for this policy was also requi- site. Benton McMillin, the new execu- tive, has always been great friend of silver" He urged that the inevitable effect of the authorization sought would be to permit the payment of the pro- posed bonds in gold. and that exper- fence had shown that this opportunity would be improved. He declared that he had never believed in a single gold standard, or monometallism, and that he could not be a party to any scheme which lis intended, so far as it does anything, to break down the bmetallic principle and advance the principles of the single standard" Accordingly he vetoed the bill, which kills it, and if Memphis borrows money on the silver plan she will have to pay well for it. Governor McMillin is certainly consist ent, but his consistency is much like the consistency of balky horse.
