imported Gloves for Women.

Importers Of women's gloves say
that Ii seems to be fad to wear no
gloves during the hot weather, brown
hands evidently being considered
quite the thing. The prevalence of
the shirt waist also has had n ten
dency to curtail the use of gloves. A
noticeable feature of the present styles
OF gloves used with long sleeves Is the
wretched and impracticable mode Of
some fasteners now being used to quite
an extent by women who do not pay
much attention to small matters. The
other day on a Broadway cable-car
some women were seen with gloves
which they were evidently unable to
fasten at the wrists. With some clasp
attachments q wrist must conform to
the glove, but this Is not the case with
gloves having hooks that fit any size
wrist perfectly. Colors remain much
the same as in past seasons. White
glace, with black embroidery, are pop
ular both for street and evening wear.

Two OCCUPATIONS for Women.

The difficulty of sightseeing or shop
ping to advantage in a strange city,
especially If time is limited, is well
known to most women from actual ex-
perience. The clever idea of a young
girl In Washington promises to obviate
the discomfort in most agreeable
manner for her patrons and with profit
to herself. Needing employment, and
thoroughly familiar with the city, its
environments, many points of interest,
and shopping facilities, she advertises
to act as guide to unattended women
visiting the capital, either singly or in
parties Of two, three, or half-a-dozen.
The fee required for her services, while
reasonable, Is sufficient to render 1t a
paying as well as pleasant business.
Other cities offer like opportunity to
well-bred, intelligent young women,
and with equal prospect of success.
Another agreeable and graceful &C.
cupation for women, especially in
large cities, is the arrangement of
flowers for ceremonious occasions
dinners, banquets. weddings, etc. Sue
cess in this depends largely upon taste
and originality. Florists now en-
ploy ladies' in this capacity us under
standing better than men the little
touches here and there necessary for
grace and artistic effect.-Table Talk.

COUNCIL BLUFFS The ANAL fig-
lires on the valuation Of the county city
and Independent school district have
been arrived at by County Auditor
Innes and everything is now in read
mess for the board Of supervisors to
take up the matter OF the levy, and 1t
is likely that this will be done at
today's session and the matter dis
posed of. The figures are but little
different from those that have been
given heretofore. The county valuation
lis $11,820, 791, that of the city $2,414, 1872,
and that Of the independent school dis
trict OF Council Bluffs, $3,496.ss2. The
difference between the valuation Of the
| city and that of the school district is
due to the fact that that portion OF
Kane county township outside the city
| is included in the latter.

MACHINE ROAD BUILDING.

lSOuIiCll 1olullS I<OUpdTe1l.J
The members Of the board OF super
visors sepnt part of yesterday after
noon inspecting the roads that have
Just been built with an elevator grader
south of the city. They We're accom-
panied on the trip by representatives of
the local press, DR.. V. L. Treynor, Ben
Marks and Geo. F. Wright. The party
went out on the Council Bluffs Glen
wood bottom road to within three-quar-
tiers of a mile of the Mills county line.
returning by the way of the Manawa
road. 1t was on the former thorough
fare that the supervisors have had the
grader at work. and it must be said to
the credit of this plan of road building
that it produces the best results of any
method undertaken for the improve
ment Of highways in this county
Since the grader force was brought
to this part of the county several weeks
ago about six miles of road has been
built. The grader used in building these
roads Is drawn by twelve horses and
to operate it requires no more than
three men-two to drive and the third
in charge OF the machine. The grader
is driven alongside of the road and by
means of plow attached loosen the
ground, scoops 1t up and carries 1t over
and drops 1t in the middle OF the high
way at the will OF the operator. In this
way a grade about twenty feet wide
and several feet high is thrown up and
then after 1t has been narrowed e, 0OO
pound roller is applied to pack 1t down.
The result is an elevated road high and
dry, from which the water runs to the
sides with but little damage to the
driveway. A force Of the size Of the
one now at work with the grader
throws up about quarter OF mile OF
road in q day where conditions are rea-
sonably favorable. From the experience
they have already had with this method
of road building the supervisors esti-
mate that 1t costs about 500 a mile
and when the excellent results obtained
are taken into consideration the ex-
penditure is regarded as satisfactory
one. Down on the bottoms where the
gumbo has been almost impossible dur
{ ing the wet weather some very salts
factory results have BEEN secured
Where the gumbo has been thrown uI
in the middle of the road and allowed
to dry out before traffic was driven over
1t, it has hardened and packed down
and makes highway that ills believed
will be good the year around and will
wear well. All that will be necessary
for its preservation will be a little work
by the township supervisors now and
then with blade scraper.

TIME TO WAKE UP.
Tnonfson Raviaxv

1t is time that Denison should arouse
itself to the opportunity it has to be-
come the seat Of one OF the state nor
NAL schools OF Iowa. It is admitted on
all sides that the Cedar Falls institution
can not fulfill all the demands. There
is a general feeling that there should
be several state normal schools, so lo-
Gated as to save expensive travel to pu-
pills and to afford the best facilities for
all. Denison is in splendid circumstan-
ces to capture one Of these schools. Our
present normal school ls the best in
western Iowa. The building is large
and commodious, the railroad facilities
will be excellent. We have friend at
court in Governor Shaw. If Denison
does not succeed in this 1t will be her
own fault. 1t is matter worthy im-
mediate and continued attention. Such
a school would mean from 300 to 600
students. large number of resident
mebers Of the faculty, and would In
crease Denison's population by not less
than 1000.
What do you say; shall we get to-
gether and organize a strong campaign
or shall we sit still and let some other
city get the plum?

Ing the past few months there has
been slight Increase In, land values
All along the line. due mainly to the In
creased demand for real estate prop
ierty, superinduced by the easy condi-
tion Of the money market. Several
farms In Hamilton county, a. good as
the best, have been sold within the
past few weeks at prices ranging high
er than ever before paid for farms hav-
Ing similar improvements, and the in
dications are that those who have land
in Hamilton county and desire to dis
pose OF 1t can do 30 In the near future
at figures as high as ever paid. Eight
or ten farmers from Illinois are now in
the city, came here to look over the
country and make investments in real
estate. and 1t Is quite likely some OF
them will buy before returning home.
The abundance OF money, the shrinkage
OF interest charges and the enhanced
prices paid for farm products combine
to increase the value of land, and 1t is
the opinion OF the Freeman that land
values In Iowa will never materially de-
crease.

In recent interview ex-senator
Lee Mantle is credited with making
the following statement:
In the west there will be no more
alliance of silver republicans with
democrats. The help that was given
by the silver republicans in past
campaigns will not be forthcoming,
and all talk of fusion in the future
is idle. The democrats welcomed
the silver republicans as allies in
close states, but in states where they
secured the ascendency, repudiated
them in the most contemptuous man
ner. The men who received this
treatment are not likely to put them
selves in position to experience it
again, and whatever democrats hope
to achieve in states like Montana and
Utah, they will have to achieve it
without the aid of any other party.

Fifty years or more ago the prin-
cipal inn at the head of Lake Win
dermere, Eng, was called the Cock.
But by way of compliment to the
Bishop of LANDAU, who lived near
by, the landlord substituted the
bishop as new sign. An innkeep-
er close by, who had long envied> the
host of the Cock his good fortune in
securing a preponderance of the Wis
itors, Immediately took advantage
of the change, and attracted large
number of people to his house by
putting up the sign of the Cock. The
landlord of the old inn was much
discomftted at seeing so many of his
old customers deposited at the rival
establishment; so by way of remedy
he painted in large red letters, under
the portrait of the bishop, "This is
the old Cock"

1t is noteworthy incident that
last week, while the republican state
convention in Ohio was making an
emphatic protest against trusts and
approving the antitrust laws passed
by the republican Legislature of the
state, the democratic supreme court
of New Jersey rendered a decision
virtually sustaining these organiza-
tions in restraint of trade by recog-
nizing their legality and the validity
of their acts. Democratic utterances
never did align with democratic ac-
tions, and that organization cannot
fool all the people all the time, and
not even formidable minority will
be deluded by this latest shibboleth
of that organization. - Livingston
