Commencement
Gown

The "exams" are over.
The eventful day and evening
approaches.
Preparations are in progress.
Commencement gowns have al
ways been famous factors in the
growth of this business. We have
been learning things about them for
a good many years, as fast and as
thoroughly as hard study and ample
opportunity would allow us. We
have long since reached the point
where we can teach others.
One of the things we learned n
long time ago was that style need
not be matter of price. It's pretty
hard to say just what style is; but
it certainly isn't measured by
money. A low-priced fabric trimmed
with dainty but inexpensive en-
broidery or laces may be quite as
stylish as one at three times the
price; if it is designed with taste
and skill, and is cut and finished
with care.
It's largely a matter of selection,
and we select with a telescope for
new ideas, and with a microscope
for things "passe." There is here
as a result of this the best collec-
tion we know of sheer dainty
fabrics, pretty filmy laces and deft
needle-work embroideries, and ex-
quisite ribbons. Every thing that
pertains to a commencement gown.
Low prices, medium prices, and high
prices. All prices, except UNFAIR
prices.
The desirable fabrics are:
WASH CHIFFONS-4s inches
wide, Bic, 39c, 49c, soc, CSC, 75c the
yard.
PERSIAN LAWNS-S2 inches

Dead.

Yesterday departed this life two
of WEDDINGS oldest and most re-
spected citizens, John X Botsford,
in the ninety second year of his
age, and Archibald w. Campbell,
who was in his siNty-sixth year.
In their different ways and respec-
tive walks of life no two men in
Wheeling were better known or
more universally respected. The
one an honored citizen and business
man in the private walks of life, the
other man of affairs, editor and
statesman and more or less promi-
nont in the public eye, both were
successful and may be said to have
rounded out to the full their long
and useful careers. Wheeling Reg

Mrs. 10. NJ, srNDNIAN.

Iowa State Register, 8th.
Mrs. e. NJ. Stedman, of 1871
West Seventh street, Des Moines
died on Sunday night of pleuro-
pneumonia. While Mrs Stedman
had been suffering from tho effects
of cold since December, no scr
ious results we're anticipated until
Friday of last week. The sad ter
mination of her sickness came as a
severe blow to the family and her
many friends.
Mrs. Stedman was born in Ches-
ter, Meigs county, Ohio, Nov. IT.,
1910, her father being Nathan NJ
McGlothlin, who was for years a
prominent merchant and especial
ly we'll known in Masonic circles
in southern Ohio Her mother,
Harriet (Ware) McGlothlin, be-
longs to an old Southern family,
and together with Mr.. McGlothlin,
is still living in Pittsburg, Pa,
both being about SOyears of age.
MIR. j. e. McGlothlin, postmas-
ter of Ravenswood, w. Va, well
known as an editor and in political
circles, is tho only surviving broth
er. Mrs. A. Fl. Gable, of Point
Pleasant, w. Va, and Mrs. j. NJ.
Deem, of Pittsburg, are her sisters,
and the latter is now on route for
Des Moines.
Julia McGIothlin was one of the
brightest and best loved girls in
Pomeroy, where her youth was
spent and whore she is still we'll re-
membered by many old residents.
While quite young she became tho
wife of A. e. Mclaughlin, by whom
she had two children. She became
widow within few years, and in
1865, when Mr. Stedman returned
from Iowa to his old home in Ohio,
he met and married the friend of
his youth, and adopting the two
young children, EfIie and Emory,
as his own, returned to Vinton, La ,
where Kate and George, their
younger children, we're born.
A most noble woman has passed

lived in is better for having her OK

ono OF Employment.

1t is estimated that the formation
of trusts and combines have driven
out of employment 10000 CONNER
oial travellers throughout the Uni
ted States. AT the same time trusts
have thrown out of work a much
larger army of clerks, bookkeepers
and working people in various ca
pacities. And again at the Same
time they have stified competition
and made low prices impossible If
competition be the life of trade,
then the formation of these trusts
must be it's death. If tho federal
statutes against trusts were faith
fully enforced it would drive the
combines out of existence. While
the supreme court affirms the con-
stitutionality of this statute, there
is political party in power which
secured ascendency by the com
paign money contributed by the
trusts and they are now receiving
their reward in the license to vio-
late the law at their will. None of
the old trusts have been disturbed
by McKinley's Attorney Gen
eral, aud scores of new ones
have been organized since he
WAS inuugurated, Not until
the Republican party has been
driven from power can the people
hope to have any relief against
monopoly. Tho new Democracy
has declared war of determination
against the trusts and this will be
leading issue in the neXtnational
campaign.

Imperialism Defined.

In his recent Ann Arbor address,
Bourke Cochran defined imperial
ism to be:
Imperialism is the establishment
in conquered territory by this gov
ernment of another government
radically irreconcilable to the spir-
it of our own Constitution, and es-
sentially hostile to it.
Commenting on this definition,
the Grand Rapids Democrat de-
clares that: imperialism is the
proper name of the Government the
McKinleyites are establishing in
Porto Rico and Cuba, and are pro-
posing to establish in the Philip
pines. 1t is un-American, demon
alizing and brutal. If the McHin.
leyites intend to establish Cuban
independence according to Con-
gressional declaration, there can be
no reason given why they should
not frankly state that purpose; and
they might go further and take the
people into their confidence enough
to tell them why they delay max
ing n movement in that direction.
The public has reason to be sus-
picious of the marked tendency to-
ward usurpation of power by the
present Executive Administration

bear out that this prediction will be
fulfilled. Charleston Gazette.

Man and His shoes.

How much a.man is like his shoes!
For instance, both n sole may lose;
Both have been tanned; both are
made tight
BY cobblers; both get left and right;
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need heeling, oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mold.
With shoes, the last is first; with men
The first shall be last; when
The shoes wear out they're mended,
new;
When men wear out, they're men
dead, too;
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing loath.
Both have their ties, and both incline
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now would you
choose
TO be n man or be his shoes2
Col. Tom Davis for Governor.
A correspondent writing from
Charleston, says:
"a boom has been started here
for Col. Tom Davis of Keyser for
Governor in 1900. Some of his
friends have preached the subject
to him and he seems to be rather
pleased with the idea, The genial
Colonel would make an excellent
Governor and splendid race, if
nominated. So far the mention of
his name seems to have met with
general approval among the Dem
ocrats."
