Wallace, Idaho, March 2S.-The Gran
lite Gold Mining company, east of Muir
ray, has been compelled to shut down
it's mill owing to a shortage of water for
power. There is still enough that THE
pumps are kept going, but the stamps
are idle. In the meantime they are put
ting in two Huntington mills to regrind
tailings, it being the intention in the
future to use a coarse mesh. Unless the
weather gets decidedly warmer it will
be two or three weeks before they will
lave enough water to start the mill. as
even the streams in the lower valleys
are not yet affected ~perceptibly by the
melting snow.

examination of the state medical board,
and who appealed to the district court,
presented himself in department No. l
of the district court today in company
with his counsel, Colonel Sanders and
Fred Hawthorne of Billings. His coun-
sci decided that he had elected to have
the examination papers that he filled out

by a jury instead of submitting to a new
examination under direction of the court.
Judge Smith accordingly set the appeal
for trial in May.

York have made some few dozens of
gloves for one of the Eastern brides and
perhaps three or four of the most ex-
elusive society leaders of the town. 1t
cannot be called a pretty fashion, but
as it is decreed to be the thing, The
thing it will certainly prove to be.
Gloves made to order with mono
grams are devoid of stitching and the
monogram is embroidered in the center
of the back of the hand. Those which
are purchased from stock and then en-
brOidered have the monogram set he
tween the thumb seam and the first row
of stitching, and others have it placed
on the wrist below the stitching. This
latter position is not altogether a very
advantageous one, as a glove usually
wrinkles so much at the wrist that the
monogram is apt to lose its prominence
and the small amount of beauty it
might otherwise possess.
I was told that Miss Virginia Fair
had perhaps a dozen pairs of gloves
thus embroidered as part of her trous-
seau. Some were black embroidered in
white, others pale flesh colors, laven-
ders, pearl grays and whites embroid-
cred in self colors.

The most popular, if the new fad may
be said ito be popular so soon, are the
self-colored embroidered monogra ms.
These decorations are so striking, even
in self-coloring, that few will be brave
enough to hazard SO striking contrast
as white and black, or vice versa.
My attention was drawn by one glove
maker to a very serious objection,
which he admitted would stand greatly
in the way of making these mono
gram gloves very popular among New
York women, and that was the fact
that these monograms were bound to
make the hand look larger than it
naturally was.
Several samples We're shown me, and
really I could not consider them any
thing else but ugly-for instance,
glove of suede in the new bluet shade,
with a white patch in the middle of the
back as large as ten-cent piece.
This fad is just in it's birth in the
stamping shops, for | was told that two
young girls had left three or four pairs
of kid gloves ito be stamped with their
monograms, and intended embroidering
them themselves.
l asked on a venture whether they
could stamp my monogram on a pair
of kid gloves, and besides replying in

absolutely impossible: while the bold
woman who ventures to sit down in one
would scarcely repeat the experiment
except in private, could she for one mo-
ment see herself as others see her, and
behold her own inelegant appearance.
To the tailors who are prepared to
make their skirts a little wider below
the waist every one must owe debt
of gratitude, and, for my own part, l
can only hope that the average Ameri-
can Woman's strong common sense and
sensible horror of making herself look
ridiculous will be allowed to assert and
to serve as a protest against these skin
tight skirts. l saw charming gown
the other day, made by one of the
smartest tailors in New York, in a love-
ly shade of Acknowledgment cloth,
which was cut with a double skirt, the
upper one fitting very neatly and
closely around the hips, without drap-
cry or wrinkle, but yet with a certain
amount of flowing freedom, which was
increased and emphasized in the fullne6s
of the lower shirt. This comparative
width of the upper skirt was scarcely
noticeable, and did not take away at
all from the smartness of the gown,

Vests and chemsettes are again play
ing an important part with tailor made
gowns. Hard vests of uncompromising
shades are giving place all the way
round to the softest tones of rose pinks
and celestial blues and white. Nous

part of these fronts, nearly all of which
display a bow at the neck Many, too,

well they should faSten up at the back.
although some very pretty ones in soft
oriental satin fasten slightly over to
one side with a jabot of chiffon and
lace, caught here and there with Paris
ian diamonds or buttons.
Then of course the lace vests are
equally to the fore; these generally re-
quire to be arranged very fully on
chiffon. They are very fascinating
when made with little inner vest of
soft mousseline de sole at the neck,
the lace again appearing on the collar.
Some very smart people are tying a
very large white tulle bow under their
chins--a pretty fashion which, when
the tulle is perfectly fresh, seldom
comes amiss. Remember, you cannot
face your fellow creatures more than
three times at the utmost in the same
piece of suchlike ethereal fabrics: the
same applies to chiffon if you tie it
yourself. 1t becomes, alas! too "chif-
fon-y.' Therefore a made-up bow or
jabot is by far the more practical and
unless the wearer is a genius at tying
them, also more becoming.
The stock of the moment is a soft
and beautiful thing, and here. again,
mousseline de sole ranks first, with the
little corners on the collar made of
guipure or fine lace, the ends of the tie
being finished with the same.
Another pretty idea is the stock and
fichu combined, and this looks nice on
a plain glace blouse. A fold of very
fine lawn or gauze is passed round the
neck, crossing at the back and form
ing sort of rever shaped fichu, edged
and inserted with Valenciennes lace.
and narrowing off into points at the
waist.
One of the prettiest stocks, too, is
composed of a judicious mixture of
crepe de chine and lace. There is a
little collar of the former, with corners
of lace falling over it, crossing at the
back and tying in the front. with lace
ends reaching to the waist. The same
stock is very nice in white washing
silk, with hemstitched or fringed ends.

silk muslin or mouSSeline de sole, with
little applique lace flowers inserted
thereon. Perhaps the smartest of all
are the white ones trimmed with black
flowers, although very dainty are the
rose colored flowers on a groundwork
of white.

hear about belts. The fancy for all
kinds of passementarie belts is no more

a Beautiful Gown.

There is just slight indica ton in some
of the tailor-made gowns of that reac-
ton against the ultra tight fitting
sheath-like skirt. which will be sure to
come sooner or later. When one hears

as the skirt was cut so perfectly that it
seemed to fit the figure below the waist
without in any way Cramping or con-
filming it.
rms pale green-cloth gown, by the
way. was made up over a separate
foundation of turquoise-blue glace silk,
with three little chicnree frils around
the hem, which showed very prettily
now and again when the cloth draper
les were lifted by the wearer At the
edge of the double skirts, too. there was
a band of perforated open work green
cloth, lined with turQuoise-blue. The
smart little coat bodice was cut in
square tabs, and edged with a similar
trimming. 1t came down to rather a
deep point in front and was fastened
with large steel buttons.
When it was thrown open, however,
this coat showed a vest of turquoise
blue panne, very finely tucked, the
tucks running downwards to the center
in a series Of V-shaped points. 1t was
finished at the throat with a sailor
knot stock tie of black satin, with ends
of cream silk Maltese lace. This is one
of the many models of the season
which prove the persistent popularity
of green and blue combinations. The
smartest kind of hat to wear at the
moment with tailor made gown is I'M
doubtedly a twisted scarf of satin
straw in two shades of color to match
the gown. Some of these hats are twist
ed up into Polichinelle shape, while
others are arranged to form merely
one big Alsation bow of straw in front,
while third variety may be seen in
the marquise shape with ribbons sim
oily twisted round the crown and tied in

front. To wear with the green cloth

gown | have just described, toque
made of green satin straw has been
provided, made in a Polichinelle shape
and trimmed in front with a big round
rosette bow of turquoise blue glace
ribbon and two or three black quilts.
Notwithstanding the efforts of milii-
ners to Danish the toque, it is still be-
loved by the majority of women, and
new ways of trimming are constantly
devised. Immense birds, dyed all sorts
of cOlOrs, cover the whole left side of
many. Indeed, this is for the moment
the most popular model in Paris. A
mauVe straw, with a big bird in pale
blue, or beaver straw toque with
paler tulle, and a bird paler till ii Dor
dered on yellow. are both pleasing
enough; one with mauVe, the other
with a beaver brown costume tailleur.
By the way, the mauve that is modish
just now is the blue mauVe, not the
pinkish: this is an important little
memo; | mean the tone of mauVe which
might almost be termed perVenche.
Some Of the modistes make a Whole
batch of hats in one tone, this pale per-
Venche, or pink. or beaver, or gray, or
in black and white mixed with color.

modern workmanship will do we'll to
wear it. AS l have said, really good
old thing never comes amiss.
There is a rumor that some belts
will be made of Partisan diamonds. To
my mind there is something remarka-
bly, chic about the flash of brilliants at
neck and waist with a demure little
black chiffon or allwnte frock. Again.
it is pretty idea to have ones belt
studded with stones to match some COL
or in our costume, and certain it is,
however simple fashion is, our jewels
are not so. and that tickle dame is most
lavish in her display. Luckily for poor
woman she is allowed to wear the best
imitation, or she could never appear in
the hundred-and-one attractive knick-
knacks which come before her notice.
Heart-shaped Novelties.
There is quite a craze for lockets,
hat pins, shirt waist sets pins, etc, in
heart shape. The fad started with the
crystal heart pendant, Worn earlier in
the season, and has now progressed to
such an extent that Miss 1899 has a va
ried assortment of this favored shape,
including, if she can afford it, a fine,
large diamond. cut into the likeness of
plump, many-faceted heart, and set
into a ring, the shank of which, on
either side of the gem, is encrusted with
brilliants so that no gold shows any
where.
In the comparatively expensive kinds,
silver hearts, both plain and ornament
al, seem to have the preference just
now. that is, when the purse is not deep
enough to purchase those of gold en-
tirely encrusted with diamonds. Some
of the silver hearts, however, are set
with small diamonds and with other
precious stones. This craze came into
being, no doubt, from the success of
the Cyrano chain, and the bangles, the
| chain having often as many as three or
four pendants attached, while the ban
! gle has often as many as six. These
| generally include a pig, an elephant
and tiny silver cigar oXidized to a to-
bacco tint, with white to represent the
ash, while the Huston is still further
| increased by the insertion of a ruby at
! the end.
There are many new hat pins, The
| turtle has now found its way to the end
of this pin, and is popular studded
| with precious stones.
Shirt waist sets for the present sea-
son comprise many novelties, the pref
! test of which. perhaps, is the owls
| head set. This comes in sterling silver,
| the owls having emerald eyes. There
| are gold heads also, with ruby eyes.
| Coral is very much sought after just
now for chains, rings and pins. In lace
| pins quite the latest thing is the bar in
! scroll, key and other conventional pat
| terms set with numerous small dia-
| monds real or imitation.

AS a novelty for present or for

1t is easy to understand why the Nc
Kinley newspapers are so anxious to
find some other candidate for the demo
cratic presidential nomination than
William j. Bryan.
No man is more feared by the repub-
licans than the man who, standing on
the Chicago platform, received $500 900
votes for president in 1895. And they
have good cause to fear this man.
Patriotic, eloquent, honest and fear
less, beloved by the people and bril-
liant star in the political armament,
William j. Bryan will be nominated
for president in 1900 by the democrats
of this nation and then he will be elect
ed.
Exposing the imperialistic policy of
Mckinley in his Philippine war, show
ing the animus back of the republican
hatred for Germany, denouncing the
money power for its heartless greed and
its upholding Of the tyrannical gold
standard, and showing how the bond
age to the trusts may be thrown off,
William J. Bryan will be the peoples
choice.
This being the case, the republican
press is doing all 1t can to side-track
Bryan. Any man but Bryan will suit
Mckinley as an opponent, but the
dauntless democratic champion of 1896
will not be injured in the least by these
puny attacks. He has firm place ir
the hearts of his countrymen and will
be the next president of the United
es.-Chicago Democrat.

A MI. Maurned Mother.

When Shafter was senior colonel Of
Che army, he was temporarily in charge
OF some western post and numbered in
his command an exceedingly bright, ca
pablo fellow whose cleverness was con.
tinually getting him the enoncommission
stripes and whose escapades were just
as frequently getting him reduced to
the ranks. One day this soldier turned
up at Shafter's quarters with long
face and applied for leave to attend the
funeral of his mother, who had died the
previous night, he said, in the town.
The request was granted, but later on,
in looking over the same records, the
colonel discovered that the same man
had been granted leave the month before
on the identical pretext. Shafter said
nothing, but couple Of days afterward
encountered the bereaved warrior on
parade ground. "Look here, my man, I"
said Pecos Bill solemnly, 81 want to
ask you question. Were you good to
that mother of yours while she was
alive?"

The Importance of Ventilation.

Ihe importance OF ventllaJlon.
tuberculosis, or what is generally
known as consumption, is disease
which is communicated to man mainly
through the use of milk from COWS in
which this disease has assumed an acute
form.
Within the last few years we have
heard much more about it simply be-
cause the location of the disease is more
readily traced to the COW than formerly
The use of the tuberculin test is com
ing into general use and it is demanded
on every side that dairy herds be subject
ed to it. In these latter days of inten-
sive farming the COWS are too apt to be
closely confined in i'll ventilated stables,
and this has undoubtedly been the main
cause for the rapid spread of the disease.
Dairymen have been warned continu-
ally about the importance of keeping
their herds warm in winter time. They
do not, however, recognize the fact that
ventilation is just as important as
warmth-more important in fact. Tu
berculosls can be kept out of the herd,
and system of good ventilation is the
most effective aid in doing it. Cows re-
quire the same observance of sanitary
laws as do members of the human fam
lily. Fresh air does not cost anything,
and it is the best tuberculosis preyenta-
in the world.

Eye Massage.

Whenever your organs Of sight feel
weak, do not claw at them with the
knuckles, SO to express it. You must
not massage your eyes the same way
you would the stronger parts Of the
body. They need help from the hands,
but this help must be administered in a
very gentle and delicate method.
John Quincy Adams had way Of
treating his eyes, which, it is said,
preserved their vision to old age, with
out the help of spectacles
This was to place his thumb and fore
finger each upon an eyelid and gently
rub them toward the nose number Of
times each day. The action encourages
circulation of blood in that locality,
does away with the tiny spots that
sometimes float before the vision and
prevents that flattening of the lenses
which causes dimness of sight at Ger
tain focus.
1t is wonderful how much good can
be done the eyes of people of all ages by
using this simple exercise 10 or 15 min
utes each day.
If you are where it may not be oon-
venient to measure time, as in the dark,
it is we'll to count the number of passes
made by the fingers over the eyes until
you have reached the number that you
have demonstrated by experiment that
time will allow.-New York Ledger.

Bogus Butter.

Those who prefer oleomargarine to
genuine butter have perfect right to
use it, and the dealers have an equal
right to furnish them with the article.
But people who do not wish to use
oleomargarine have a right under the
law to be protected from swindling deal
ers, who palm off upon them oleomarga-
rine as genuine butter.
1t is, therefore, gratifying to record
the fact that fine of S25 has been im-
posed upon one dishonest Chicago deal
or for selling bogus butter as genuine
and that warrants are being sworn out
and prosecutions will promptly follow
against these dishonest grocers.
There is much disregard of the law,in
this matter, and the Illinois Dairy Union
proposes to put stop to it. Every hon
est man will be glad to know that there
is an organization prepared to protect
the people from dishonest practices and
will wish the Dairy Union success in its
campaign.
Adulteration of food preparations has
become widely prevalent and the feder
al government has taken hold of the
matter. 1t will require vigilance and
perseverance to remedy this evil, but it
can and will be remedied.
