fl PET THEORY -ASS4ILED,

The Montevideo Times doesn't have a large circulation in this country, but some remarks which 1t makes about one of the pet theories of this country will be we'll circulated. The Times fails to find that our Pan-American Con- gress, our Bureau of American Repub- lies, our protection of Venezuela in the boundary affair or the visit of American manufacturers to South America three years ago has produced any marked trade results. As to Uru- quay, the Times is confident that the sentimental talk of our politicians has produced no beneficial effect whatever upon trade. The sympathies tradi- tions, ideas, customs associations and connections of these republics, says the Times, fare essentially those of Latin Europe, from which they receive their languages and nine-tenths of their peo- pie. Their bonds are all with Europe and practically none at all with the United States" This is true enough, and was made apparent during our war with Spain, when all the countries south of the Rio Grande gave their sympathy to the mother country. There are no new markets for us in South America says the Times, ex- pressing a doubt if commercial com petition is keener in any part of the world, for these countries draw their supplies from all Europe indiscrimin- ately. "It is difficult to name an ar- ticle with which South America is not amply supplied The importing firms occupying this market at present are German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Belgian. These mainly draw their goods from the countries of their own nationality, and in many in- stances are branches established by or in connection with manufacturing firms of those countries and more or less tied down to the sale of their special pro- ductions'
 All this may be true, but if United States manufacturers keep begging away they will doubtless be able in time to get their share of South Ameri- can trade.

PUBLIC AND POLITE.

The Board of Finance had a meeting | last evening, and 1t wasn't an execu- 1 tive session either. It was an open ses- sion devoted to a public hearing on the estimates of all departments. Many citizens were present and there was much interesting and pertinent talk. Especially interesting and pertinent was the talk about the estimates of the Board of Education. During this talk it was made clear that the Board
 of Education can act with almost en- tire independence of anybody or any,
 thing, and that the new charter is
 very generous document in some re-
 spects Of course the theory is that
 the Board. of Education can always be
 trusted to act well and wisely, to ask
 only for what money it actually needs,
 and to spend what it gets in the best
 way, The estimates for permanent
 pavements were thoroughly discussed and there was much unselfish and pat liollc elloTl to see that the Waru SetS it's share of what is going. The esti- mates for the Fire department were also talked of, and the meeting as a whole was very interesting, if not so very important.
 It is pleasant to notice that the art of properly conducting public hearing in the City Hall has not been lost, though the performances at the hear ings of the committee appointed to in- yestigate supervisors have been dis couraging. The members of the Board of Finance treated their company polite ly and acted like judges rather than prosecutors or defenders. They were duly solemn and considerate, and even if they don't do just as they are asked | to, or even ought to, they will not be | charged with 'roughing It. on their | fellow citizens.

FASHION NOTES.
Serge stylish for the House.

Not long ago the thought of serge have suggested makeshift Now it is distinctly stylish, and there need be no fancifulness in it's arrangement. touch of some new trimming is great point. but that is ever so. In the gown pictured herewith the unmistakably new feature was the band of white vel vet dashed with red. Red bone buttons held it. The serge was striped dark blue and white. Yoke and collar were white pique, the belt dark red velvet. Such gowns may not give so strong an impression of we'll planned daintiness as do the house fashions of past days. but they are very pretty and as for sty lishness they are away at the top.

What Nebraska can do is shown by the Lincoln (Nebraska) Journal A man from Missouri had invested his all in a big wheat field in Buffalo county, and then by means of a mortgage on his land he raised $700 with which to raise wheat. It happened to be a poor year for wheat, and the stand was not very good. Concluding that it wasn't worth harvesting, he pulled up his stakes and went back to Missouri, leav- ing the farm to fight the mortgage all by itself. The farm was equal to the occasion. The wheat ripened, fell down and deposited the seed in the soil again Next spring the wheat began to grow Justify. Some of the neighbors were honest enough to write about it down to the fugitive in Missouri, and he got interested enough to come back and take a look. Then he stopped and har- vested his voluntary crop. He sold it for enough to pay off the mortgage and the rest of his debts, and had a tidy lit- tie surplus over, with which he moved his family back, and now declares there is no State like Nebraska.

their little daughters in petticoats of daintily colored muslin ruffied and trimmed with lace, with even the best frocks, in place of white. For in- stance, frock of pink delaine sprigged all over with little brighter pink buds is worn over petticoat of rose colored muslin elaborated with white lace. Very narrow lace is used, and the petticoat goes into the tub just as a white one would. It Is likely to stand the cleans ing better than a white one Under the school frocks are worn petticoats of pretty gingham or sprigged muslin. Some are lightweight flannel made pretty with frils. Boomers gathered in just above the knee are worn by all most all children in skirts until those skirts reach the ankles In some cases the little play dresses of tiny maids are worn without petticoats directly over little flannel bloomers in dainty color. Under the flannel white muslin is worn, for the aim from the beginning Is to suggest extreme daintiness to the little maids mind about her dressing. Cor set waists are worn till girl is at least fifteen. As long as child is in the very loose blouse she wears a corded waist, to which petticoats and ether underwear are secured.

If some of the latest results of astro- nomical investigation are to be accepted the atmosphere of the sun is 5000 miles deep, and is composed of various gases and vapors of metals. Then, as observ- ed through the telescope, it's surface IS covered with minute white forms, ap- parently floating in an ocean of graysh fluid, these being clouds composed not of water, but chiefly of carbon, and it is argued that, just as the electrician uses carbon for producing the brightest of artificial lights, 90 the sun employs the same agent in the production of its transcendent light and heat, the sun clouds being, in fact, made up of drops of liquid carbon which have radiance vastly exceeding that of the well known glow of the f1lament in an electric lamp. In a word, the sums entire surface is assumed to be coated with these clouds, every particle of which is thus intensely luminous

In Paris sailing polo has found considerable favor, and has attracted large numbers of spectators on the banks of the Seine and Marne. In the new polo, light floating ball is thrown on the water and the players who are provided with kind of racket with long handle, endeavor to reach it, and send it forth according to the regular rule of the game. The players are seated in sailing boats, and in order to distinguish the opposing sides, the boats have sails of different colors.

Several new ways of adultering coffee have lately come to light in England. One grocer, by coating the berry with sugar, raised the weight from five per cent. to ten per cent, and got shilling pound for what otherwise would have brought about twopence. The berry it. self is ingeniously initiated in Germany by treatment of maize, and it is said that the imitation is so good that even on close scrutiny it is hard to distin- guish from the genuine berry.

1T WILL NOT OCCUR.
Marriage Of Two Well Known Young Peo-
pie is Indefinitely Postponed.


pie is Indefinitely Postponed,
Miss Barbara Ok and John Jaeger,
two we'll known young people of the
city, were to have been married at
st. George church on next Wednesday
morning, and thereby hangs tale.
Today it is announced that the we'd
ding will not occur. The bans had
been published in church twice and
would have been read for the third and
last time on Sunday, but shortly before
the service the young lady who was to
act the part of tie blushing bride,
appeared before the minister and told
him that the wedding was off, and
when the service was over it was still
unannounced. The reason for the
postponement is the fact that the
would be bridegroom had left the city
and had left no word as to the carrying
out of the marriage contract.
According to the story told by Miss
ok, Jaeger bid her a fond farewell on
last Thursday morning and since that
time he has not been seen in the city.
The proposed bride takes the matter
very philosophically and in converse
ton with a reporter this morning said
that she didn't care continental what
had become of him. The friends of
Jaeger are not worrying about him,
and state that he will return in good
time. Others say that the man was so
cruel as to get out license for the
marriage with Miss Ok and then went
off with another girl and made con-
tract for life.
Miss Ok called at the clerks office
today and asked if it was necessary
for her to take any action to have the
license revoked, and was informed that
according to law it would run out in
thirty days. When asked if Jaeger
would return the young lady said that
she didn't think that he would.
The Fl vitations for the wedding have
been recalled, and if Jaeger ever re-
turns he will hardly lead Miss ok to
the altar. The young people are well
known, and the disappearance of Jae-
ger has caused great deal of talk.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
John Ryan has Horse Killed on tn
North Western Track


John Ryan, an agent for Milwaukee
tea and coffee store in the city had a
narrow escape from being instantly
killed Saturday afternoon while at
tempting to cross the tracks of the
Northwestern railway at the Strong
street crossing. While the man
escaped with his life the horse which
he was driving was instantly killed.
Ryan, accompanied by a seven year
old boy named Reed, had been deliver
ing goods in the west part of the city.
He was returning down town and when
he reached the crossing where the ac-
cident occurred he noticed gravel
train from the north was passing. AS
soon as the train was past he attempted
to drive over the tracks, thinking that
the way was clear. Just after he had
started he heard the whistle Of the
train coming from the south. With a
Herculean effort he partially dragged
the horse and wagon back off the track
and with great presence of mind he
caught the little boy in his arms and
leaped from the wagon, leaving the
horse to his fate. The train dashed by
and as the horse was on the track it
was struck in the breast and instantly
killed.
Ryan and the boy escaped uninjured,
with the exception of few bruises.
The wagon was not injured. Ryan
was seen last evening and places the
blame OF the accident upon the COM
pany, as he claims that the engineer
did not blow the whistle until the train
was within few feet of the crossing.
The horse.which was killed, was valued
at about 800.

Burg1ary in pleasant Prairie,

Last evening burglars attempted to
force their way into 81. A. Kings
store in the town of Pleasant Prairie.
1t was about eleven o'clock when Mr..
King was awakened from his slumbers
by a noise from the barn and went to
his sons room after the keys to open
the barn and ascertain what the
trouble was. Having assured himself
that everything was all right at the
barn he again retired but was hardly
asleep when he was awakened by an
other noise and soon discovered that
burglars were trying to force open the
window just below the outside stairs.
Getting up he stole around and IN do
ing so frightened the burglars away
but not without the satisfaction of
letting some cold lead follow them. In
their hasty departure the BURGLARS
left two chisels and a brace and bit
with which they were working The
burglars were probably not hurt as
the darkness covered their retreat.

BURGLARS AT SILVER LAKE.
Chicago Crooks Supposed to Have Robbed
Many Houses in Small villages.

uAduy AOuSSS ia 0ud14 VA4ldS6Ss
Fred Schenning and John Ludwig,
of Silver Lake, were in this city today
seeking aid from the city officials to
assist them in locating the crooks " tho
have been committing all sorts of
burglaries in different parts of the
county during the past few days
They report that robberies have been
committed at Silver Lake, Trevor,
Camp Lake and Wilmot and it seems
that all the robberies have been COM
mitted by the same parties. The lasG
crime of this sort occurred last night
when the safe in the store of Robert
Dixon was drilled open and robbed of
all it's contents. Other and similar
robberies have beer committed and it
seems all were the work of the same
parties.
The officials at Silver Lake and other
points in the county have not been able
to catch the offenders, but they seem
to think that the robbeIies were COM
United by a number of Chicago crooks,
who are spending the summer at the
various lake resorts of the county.
