George kelly's Death.

George Kelly was born May %, 1912,
in Indiana. He moved to Jasper county,
Iowa, when seven years old and lost his
father while moving. When fourteen
years old he lost his mother. When
nineteen years old, in 1861, he enlisted
in Co. l, 10th Iowa Volunteers, and
served over three years. He was deli =
cate lad when he enlisted, and came out
of the army physical wreck. He has
never been strong since. Shortly after
leaving the army he was married to Miss
Lydia d. Baker. They moved to Audi
bon county about twenty years ago.
When she died, eighteen years ago, she
left ten motherless children the eldest
about fourteen years old. This was a
very severe blow for the children had to
be separated
On January LIST, 1890, he married Miss
Clara Reilly, who with two little child
rem, survive him. Long ago he was con-
verted and joined the Baptist church.
He lived an honorable and upright life.
During his last sickness, which lasted q
couple of weeks, he spoke clearly of his
faith in God and approached the end
without fear, speaking of it clearly and
with confident hope.
He passed away peacefully Sunday
night, February 5, at 1855. Thefunera al
was held at the M. E. church Tuesday
afternoon, and though he was not a
member Of the Grand Army, number
of his comrades attended. Xxx

A Bad Dream.

1t is not likely that any English
speaking people understand SO keen and
punctilious devotion to the niceties of
language as that which characterizes the
French grammarians. We may help
ourselves to understand it perhaps by
reading a story told of M. Lamany.
One night lately he awoke and sprang
out of bed with wild cry. His wife
came running. He was in alarm and
despair.
"Why, what is the matter2'' she
gasped
81 dreamed" said the professor
"Oh, had horrible, heartrending
dream"
"What was it p
81 dreamed was talking, and 1 dis
tinctly heard myself utter a sentence
which had grammatical error in it. -

Wood Tar.

It is curious to note that wood tar is
prepared just as it was in the fourth
century B. G. A bank is chosen and a
hole dug, into which the wood is placed,
covered With turf. A fire is lighted un-
derneath, and the tar slowly drips into
the barrels placed to receive it.

hounce of the lace across the front to form square yoke. This yoke effect IS filled in with the pearl paillettes, and on each shoulder is a full rosette of cream chiffon. It has a high collar of the pearl paitettes and a double rueh- ing at the back of the chiffon. Tie sleeves are tight fitting, with tiny tucks in clusters, and with a deep founee of the lace falling over the hand.
 This gown was made to go with a hat that had been purchased previously. 1t is lovely white shade of chiffon with three large white ostrich feathers caught on the side with large pompon of the white chiffon.
 Another gown seen at another place IS of charming pea-green foulard. It was elegantly outlined and trimmed with the new applique insertion. The
 mderslzirt is of the pea-green foulard with an outline trimming of the ap- plique insertion around the bottom. The ovefslSirt has deep point in front to the bottom of the skirt and was cut high on each side. with two points in the back. This overskirt is outlined with the same beautiful applique inser- ton. The bodice is brought in point ed fullness to the waist line, with two rows of the applique insertion running across. It has a deep square collar of white silk with tiny tucls, and wee double ruching of the white silk around the collar. It is finished with a high stock of the white silk and a bow of the same in front The ap- p1ique insertion runs around the tight sleeve at the elbow and again just above.

G1TSHE water season has but just be-
 gun. The day of the sailor girl
 u has come and she will continue to reign supreme until after the Co lumba' has either won or lost the America's cup in her competition with the Shamrock in the fall. Everywhere one sees the water costumes, either for yachting or bathing, and they are in deed beautiful. But it is almost un- necessary to mention the word beauti- ful in speaking of any of the sum ner fashions. Unbecoming yachting costumes would mean simply that yachting would be unpopular with the girl of this season, for she would not forsake the beautiful summer gowns of other kinds for yachting if she could not appear al her best in the gowns that go with the pastime.
 In the bathing costumes for the season there is a notable departure from former years. The low neells have given place to high neeks. Short sleeves are also feature of the sea sons bathing suits This to a certain extent portrays the fashions for the coming fall and winter. It means that long sleeves and low necks will be the vogue. Fhe sumper girl in wearing q high-necked bath costume does so 10 protect her ns l and prevent any tinge of tan from defaeing it's beauty, that 1t may be at it's best when the fall and winter season sets in. The short sleeves of the summer means long sleeves for fall and winter, and because of that the condition of the arms when the summer season is over is q second ary matter.
 The majority of the yachting cos tunes seen are of either white or blue

side.
 Another shown me by the same dress. maker was a lovely silk affair of pale blue. It is embroidered in snow flake effect. It is made with an un= lerskirt of the blue silk with wide accordion silk founce around the bot tom, and the oyersllirt outlined with handsome applique lace. The bodice has a ehemisette of tucked chiffon with the applique lace insertion brought un- der the arms where the tight-fitting bodice is fastened. The tops of the sleeves are of the tucked chiffon with band of the applique insertion to finish, also the applique at the wrist.
 One that 1 saw at the hotel of an American woman who is in Europe for the summer was the greatest departure from the prevailing styles that l have seen since the fashionable set left Paris. It was of pink and black silk outlined with the finest of French lace in black. The clinging skirt has two rows of the black lace ill deep points around the skirt, with a tiny founce of pink silk around the bottom. The bodice has pink hsse vest with sequin open ac- cordion chiffon, and the black French insertion on the pink silk to form q pointed bolero. The jacket is fastened with smart bow of black velvet with cut steel buckle, and roll of the black velvet at the waist line with bow aud buckle in front. Two rows of the French insertion are around the bot tom of the sleeve. SADIE MERRITT.

Some of the single-breasted and bolero jackets have vests of a bright color of either satin or Q bright pique.
 One of the pretty ones is of blue serge made with clinging skirt with three enclrcling rows of braid, and though long enough to be graceful is not so long that its length is an incumbrance. It has an open-fronted coat made won derfully smart by double sailor collar, the outer one in dark blue, and the sec one one in paler blue shade, but both are trimmed with a white silky braid and caught together over plain vest by knotted scarf of blue silk.
 Another that is attractive is of blue

about all there is 10 write of, One of the most celebrated of the men dress makers of Paris said to me the other day when talking of these gowns:
 We are making many gowns of pure white at the present time for English and American women who are visiting in France and will spend the summer In Europe. This is not belated fashion manufactured for the belated customers from across the seas, but one that has been in vogue to greater or less extent throughout all the seq son so far. But with the advance of the season the fashion grows. and 1t is q style that is worthy of attention. They are made of white crepe de chine, white liberty satin foulard, white point dies prit, barege, grenadine, and sheer nuns yelling. In style they are many of them cut in princess shape. and are worn with fringed or lace edged sashes, some of which are tied in front and have bolero jacket fronts ot rich lace"
 The outing and walking costumes that are being made in Paris to-day are many of them of pique. lin fact this seems to be the popular material of the hour for this style of dress, and 1t is made up with pretty effects.
 Altogether I would not be surprised if these late corners, or rather late goers, would not find themselves the most becomingly gowned women at the resorts this summer. and predict that many a Paris woman who has

A suit of white serge that is both pretty and becoming is trimmed with white braid on the skirt, and short bolero jacket worn over low cut vest of red satin. The jacket and vest are worn over a white shirt, and a red stock and jabot to match the vest. With it goes a sailor hat with white ribbons.
 4 cloth suit that is striking Is of navy blue color. 1t is made with round waist with a white yoke of mousseline de soie, and edged withruchings of the mousseline de soie. The sleeves are regular small coat sleeve. The clinging skirt of this suit is very handsomely braided down the front and around the bottom about ten inches in depth. With this costume is a large hat of blue straw with white muslin for strings, and

serge, but still there are beautiful ere ations of pique, alpaca and frieze zephyr. The skirts are extremely plain, and when trimmed at all it is by a mod est braid or stitching. The bodices of many of them, however, are quite elab- crate and striking. They are often made of the brightest of colors, bright red being quite a favorite.
 These bright waists are usually worn under a jacket made often of the same material as the skirts or of white pique when the skirts are of cloth.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-07-16

mixed with blue and white wings on ths crown in front.
 Still another yachting suit that is pretty is of white serge. The skirt has an outline of rose silk braid. The bod, ice is of the rose silk, and made with a tucked front and tucked sleeves, with frill of white chiffon at the throat and long ends of the same in front The sailor hat that goes with this suit is finished with burgee ribbon.
 One of blue and white striped flannel promises to be among the pretty ones of the season. The jacket of this opens over a blue blouse. It is made with a large sailor collar, handsomely em broidered in blue and white silk, with q sailor knot of white silk. The coat has six beautiful white pearl buttons down the front. The hat is trimmed with yachts ribbon.
 The bathing suits of the season are Iaade of wool, silk, alpaca and serge With the bathing suits of this season are worn large hats with narrow wash strings.
 One of the prettiest of the season's suits was of red serge made with sailor collar of white, and an anchor embroidered in red on each corner oi the collar. With this suit are worn, red stockings and a large white straw hat with floating red strings.
 The more subdued suits for those whes do not care for so striking q color as red are dark blue wooden twill or silk trimmed with braiding in broad white braid around the skirt and down the front, also for belt and the large collar and reyers.
 A suit in blue alpaca is trimmed with narrow white braid and has small turn lover collar with three rows of the narrow braid. Worn with 1t IS large white straw hat with floating white wash strings. SARAH DAVIDSON.
