FRESH FASHION NOTES.
The Latest in Jackets and Hats,
Capes and Wraps Ger Fall
Wear.

The Elton jacket will be quite a favor
lite for early fall, as well as the tight
fitting and half-fitting coats, and they
are all very short, and sleeves still con-
tinue to come down well over the hands.
One of the newest collars is made of
pique or linen and requires no tie or
ribbon around the neck. 1t is made the
same shape as dress collar, and fastens
at the back; one end is left open and the
other end is slipped into this opening
and made secure by pin, and others
button at the back.
Those made of the pique have stiff
piece of cardboard inside, which is
drawn out at the open end when the
collar is Numbered. Those made of
plain linen are made the same as any
other collar with linen between. The
plain ones have much the appearance
of clerical collar.
The favorite shapes in hats for early
fall are the toque, turban, short-back
sailor and the English walking hat.
The handsome deep reds will be much
used in millinery this fall, both in rib
bons and velvet; also ostrich tips and
artificial aigrettes in black and colors.
Very little stiffening is now used
around the bottom of skirts. In fact,
some skirts have no stiffening at all.
Lightweight canvas or haircloth is
used, but it must be narrow, not more
than five inches at the most.
Very dainty and pretty are the little
silk corset covers in pink, white, blue
and black, trimmed with lace and col
ored ribbons run through. These are
pretty, worn under waists made of thin
material.
Gimps and yokes made of lace still
continue to be popular, and skirts are
all made to touch the ground, but it
is to be hoped this fashion of sweeping
the streets with these long skirts will
not last throughout the winter. They
are very pretty and graceful for the
house, but should not be worn in the
streets.
Very dressy little capes and wraps
are made of heavy silk, satin or cloth,
and some are deliberately trimmed with
jet and lace, and are fitted over the
shoulders and fare below. Some are
very short and Others reach just below
the waist.
Bicycle skirts are made of the double
faced cloth like the golf capes, plaid on
one side and plain on the other. If
the collars are not too bright they look
very pretty. Jackets of a plain color
are worn with them. These skirts are
made with very deep hem with many
rows of machine stitching, and the
front seams of some are trimmed with
braid and buttons; others are perfect
ly plain, with just the machine stitch

''The late Garrick Mallery, of the bu-
reau of ethnology, once told me of some
thing quite unaccountable which he
witnessed at White Earth in 1860. There
was present a famous mystery man,
who made a bet with the local govern
ment agent that the latter could not tie
him with ropes in such a manner that
he would not be able to disengage him
self offhand. The agent, assisted by
Mallery and other white men, tied the
Indian up in the most elaborate fashion
and put him inside of a conical wigwam
in the middle of an open space. No
body else was permitted to come near
him. AS quickly as they had with
drawn, tremendous humping sounds
were heard from the hut, which swayed
from side to side as if it would be torn
to pieces. Two or three minutes later
the Indian called out, telling them to
go to certain house several hundred
yards away where they would find their
ropes. One of the white men was sent
to the house, and he found the ropes.
with all of the complicated knots un-
tied.
''The tieing committee opened the
wigwam then, but found the wizard
smoking a pipe, with his black magic
stone on his lap. Neither pipe nor stone
had been there previously. The head
priest of the wizards society, having
heard of this exhibition, sent word that
he would be killed if he repeated such a
performance for gain. Evidently it was
deemed improper that religious bust
ness of that sort should be thus prosti-
tuted.
81 was much mystified on one occa-
sion by trick l saw performed in big
medicine lodge. In the course of long
ceremonial, an Indian took bag about
the size of a large handkerchief, and
manipulated it in such manner as ia
show that it contained nothing. Then
he danced around the lodge slowly,
holding the bag between his fingers by
the upper corners. Presently the heads
of two snakes appeared from the mouth
of the bag, and about foot of the
length of each snake became visible.
But it CHANGED that the juggler in his
dancing passed by the open door of the
lodge, and then l understood the fake.
The light shining through the bag
showed that it contained no snakes.
What had appeared from the bag was
merely the stuffed heads and bodies for
a short length of couple of rattlers.
They were made to stick out by pulling
taut the pieces of tape to which they
were attached" SMITH D. FRY.

Fell from a PIow and Killed.

A farmer named Frederick Martin,
living in the town of Foran, about 10
miles south of Wells, was killed by
falling under a sull1y pillow. He had
been driving the team on the pillow and
was going to the house for dinner.
His son and hired man went in ahead
of him, but when the old man did not
come they went to look for him. They

order of Eastern Star, Of New London,
came to Wellington, and with the aid Of

known as Temple Chapter No. 103.
About twenty came from New London,
and were entertained at the Masonic hall
where supper was served. The Yelling

The Good Ronds Meeting.

The meeting at the town hall last
Friday evening was quite well attended,
considering the short publicity which
had been given its announcement.
On being called to order Hon. ]. T.
Haskell was chosen chairman and H B.
Stevick, secretary.
F. d. Warren, one of the turnpike
commissioners, stated the object Of the
meeting. The report of the turnpike
commissioners to the county commiss-
toner's, as seen on the first page Of the
Enterprise, was then presented by Mr..
N. Huckins Of 0berlin. He presented an
illustration Of the probable amount Of
tax to be borne by taxpayers by repre-
Senting that a man whose property is
assessed at $2500, would be required to
pay only $500 per year especially on
this account, and claimed that the
deterioration Of harnesses, wagons, etc.,
on account Of bad roads, would more
than Offset this amount yearly. More
over, the farmer who has grain to sell,
could load up his wagon in the muddiest
time Of the year and drive out to market
with ease, taking advantage Of any
advance at any time in prices Of grain.
The sentiment of the meeting was
almost unanimous to ask the County
Commissioners not to delay the vote on
the subject by the people Of the county.
The only opposition developed seemed to
be from Huntington, Jasper West and
G. B. Griggs being opposed to the good
roads movement, deeming 1t in the
nature of an expensive luxury at this
time.
A delegation will doubtless 90 from
here to Elyria today, to interview the
commissioners on the subject, and urge
upon them the necessity Of submitting
the matter to vote of the people at the
spring election.
The following gentlemen made short
speeches during the evening: F. W..
Bennett, 0. P. Chapman, E. F. Webster,
7. L. COmstOck, E. c. Branson and DR..
j. W. HoughtOn, in favor Of the move
ment and by the two previously named
gentlemen from Huntington in Opposi-
tiOn, one Of whom intimated that this
was scheme of bicycle riders than any
Out-cry from the farmers.
