A DYING MANS LETTER
In His Last Moments He Dictates Fare
 well Words to His Friends

From the Kansas City (Mo.) Journal. Dutch Postewaite was we'll known in Hutchinson and Wichita. He was killed on railroad in Colorado one day last week. Below we give letter dictated by him to a Kansas friend as he lay dying in a hospital:
 Denver, Col, April 3. Dear Paul:-It has been a long time since l wrote to you, I thought I would write to you for the last tme I am dying. l have been fireman for the Union Pa cific Railroad company, and last night, when coming down from Como with the daily express it commenced to snow so hard we could not ten feet ahead on the engine. We ran into the hind end of a freight train that was stuck in the snow The engineer was killed instantly, and I am so badly hurt the doctors say I won't live till morning. I am so weak now that l cannot hold pencil One of the nurses is writing this for me.
 How are all the boys getting along. Row Dewng, Buck Hub Downing and all the other boys? We used to have some good old times there didn't we, old chum? Clyde Harris, Frank and Fay Brown, the Vineys, Roy Cain-I can remember them all. Now that l am going to die I can remember things that l had forgotten. I remember them as though they happened yesterday. Well, hope you all have good Jobs, and l hope you will grow up to be somebody in this world
 There ain't no use to answer this for l will be dead by the time you get this letter. Tell the other boys about my bad luck. Have you ever heard from my mother or brother Clyde? I don't know where they are. Well Paul, will have to close, so good luck to you, if I have had bad luck Good by. This is for all my old friends. Your friend, DUTCH POSTELWAITE "I can feel death coming on me-"
 Accompanying the letter was this note: MT Paul Gore
 Dutch Postelwaite died fifteen minutes after he wrote you.

PARIS STYLES SHOWS
 MANY NEW SKIRTS
Inventive Genius of the ModiSte EX- hausted Upon the Lower
 Part of the Gown.

Paris, April 2S.-"The first models of the season are always more or less experi- mental" sighed modste, gazing pensive- ly upon a large square white pasteboard box labelled with the name of a fashion able American woman, who lives upon the Avenue des Champs Elysees; "I have made my best selection, but you Americans are so governed by your natural tastes and in- dvidual styles that we modistes never feel sure that we are going to suit you.
 Perhaps Madame, when she receives the tailor-made dress of biscuit cloth, will say that biscuit is not becoming to her, and that l should have chosen the new greenish grey. If l had selected grey she might have wanted lilac. She was away at Cannes, and 1 could not communicate with herwhen she ordered''
 The modiste well understood the uncer- tainty of catering to the dressmakng tastes of American women, for no matter what may be the ruling fashion or the pop ular color, la belle Americaine will forsake all for something which is becoming to her.
 That pretty American, Mrs. Austin Lee, who is said to have quarrelled with the Countess Castellane over the count, has tenaciously clung to the bolero through the past two seasons, when boleros were

But If 1t be tailor-made gown that she is selecting, let it be one with satin face, not too heavy, and in any of the shades of green, fawn, biscuit, grey green, nickle, perle. alumine, lilac or Roman blue These are the shades of the season. You will think them little conspicuous, perhaps, for the tailored dress, but they are after Dame Fashions mode, so what do you want?
 Two of the most magnificent lace flounces were viewed by your correspond ent the other day ere they were packed in box and sent to a stately residence upon the Avenue de Trocadero a few doors from the new home of the Prince of Monaco. One of the lounces was in renais- sance lace. exquisitely selected, and un- doubtedly made by hand and to order for 1t was shaped to the skirt which it was to adorn The upper edge of the flounce was ready to be sewed directly upon the skirt; the lower edge was scalloped and finished with lovely pattern.
 The whole was shaped in such manner that, when applied to the skirt, it would hang as a very full 1ounce. Another was in venetian lace, shaped in circular form and fitting the skirt perfectly. "Only Americans can afford these things,' said

waiting upon the duchess of York, and supposed to be for her royal highness her. self, has a foundation skirt of white taffeta with the tiniest frill of chiffon around the foot The skirt is cut very close and is fitted all the way to the knees.
 skirt of old-fashioned cluny lace falls over this foundation skirt, and over this skirt there is another of cluny lace falling to the knees; both of these skirts are edged with, the narrowest rouehe of white chiffon.
 To avoid so many skirts the double skirt is made in different ways. One of the swell est dressmaking establishments of Paris showed me a gown just built for a mem- Der of the Empress Eugenie's set the most exclusive coterie in Paris. The skirt began with a foundation of black taffeta. Over the foundation was set hounce of white renaissance lace as deep as the knees. At the waist was sewed another founce of the game lace, the flounce being just long enough to fall over the other and cover the top. This gave all the appearance of two drop skirts over a taffeta founda- tion.
 NEW PARASOLS.
 While this is not a chapter on skirts, 1t is a fact that the summer skirt occupies such an important place in the world that no fashion letter is complete or half way complete without mention of 1t.
 Yet there are other things, parasols for instance. Have you seen the new parasols made of rose and white striped satin? The handle has a big artificial rose sticking from the end. There are parasols in purple and white stripes with punches of violets sticking from the knob. And then there are countless parasols covered with nar- row ruchngs of chiffon, put on one touch ing the other so as to cover the parasol The very newest vagary, however, is the paraso made of the Persian squares, which come for fancy bodices.
 A to house dressing up last summers para sols. She takes a hopeless black one and covers it with narrow ruchings of white chiffon, or of black tule; or she veils it in pink ruffles, which lie over it in pretty waves when it is raised This little genius takes the spots out of white umbrellas and stripes them with narrow purple statin rib bon and attaches violets to the ferule and to the handle. She takes the little figured ones of last year and makes them elegant with small appliques of lace, and in the center of each applique she sews a little rhinestone ornament, pailette or sequin.

more or less passe. Her figure, inclined to be too large below the belt, was nicely bal anced by the little short jacket with It's loose fronts and it's tendency to make the bust look full. Now the bolero is in again, and half of the gowns are made with these little coats.
 But the princess is also in, and, where there is no bolero, you see the exactly op- posite extreme, the long, tight fitting prin- . cess open in front and fitting snugly to the back and the hips.
 All the inventive genius of the Paris de- signer has been put upon the skirts which are made up in so many. different ways that you can scarcely describe the fash ionable skirt at all. There is the skirt which is corded around the hips, falling full from the cording to the floor There are skirts tucked around the hips yet with so little fullness that they are scant skirts for all. There are skirts laid in the tiniest box plaits all the way to the knees and flaring below the knees; and skirts with one big box plait in the middle of the back; and skirts with plaits all the way around.

AN OBJECT LESSON.
In a Restaura mt

Ina Restaurant
 A physician puts the query: Have you never noticed in any large restaurant at lunch or dinner time the large number of hearty, vigorous old men at the tables; men, whose ages run from GO to 80 years; many of them bald and all perhaps gray, but none of them feeble or senile?
 Perhaps the spectacle Is so common as to have escaped your observation or comment, but nevertheless it is an object lesson which means something.
 If you will notice what these hearty old fellows are eating you will observe that they are not munching bran crackers nor gingerly picking their way through a menu card of new Tangled health foods; on the contrary they seem to prefer juicy roast of beef, a properly turned loin of mutton, and even the deadly broiled lobster is not altogether ignored.
 The point of all this is that a vigorous old age depends upon good digestion and plenty of wholesome food and not upon dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran crackers.
 There is a certain class of food cranks who seem to believe that meat coffee and many other good things are rank poisons, but these cadaverous sickly looking individ- uals are walking condemnation of their own theories.
 The matter in a nutshell is that if the stomach secretes the natural digestive JuiceS III SuulcleHI quantity any WHOleSOme food will be promptly digested; if the stom- ach does not do so, and certain foods cause distress one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal will remove all difficulty because they supply just what every weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro chloric acid, diststes and nux.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act upon the bowels and in fact are not strictly a medicine, as they act almost entirely upon the food eaten, digesting it thor oughly and thus gives much needed rest and giving an appetite for the next meal Of people who travel nine out of ten use Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets knowing them to be perfectly safe to use at any time and also having found out by experi- ence that they are a safeguard against indigestion in any form, and eating as they have to, at all hours and all kinds of food, the travelling public for years have pinned their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
 An druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized packages and any druggist from Maine to California, if his opinion were asked, will say that stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most popular and successful remedy for any stomach trouble.

 TAILOR-MADE GOWNS.
 A tailor-made gown, recently finished for a woman who travels in the gay but highly respectable set headed by the Prince of Monaco, was of Vandyke brown silk-faced cloth, trimmed with brown leather, which were applied to the skirt in panels running from the belt nearly to the hem. The foot of the skirt was finished with small pieces of leather, beaded and applied in a quaint design. This was extremely smart. A pie ture hat of red brown straw, profusely trimmed with scarlet poppies, was made to go with this gown. well a straw toque of pale blue trimmed with red brown velvet and rhinestone ornaments.
 In thin gowns the double skirt has the preference over all others. Two skirts, one a foot longer than the other, fall over foundation skirt of silk or satin.
 White taffeta makes very serviceable foundation skirt, and the two drop skirts can be worn under the thin outside skirts.

Chicago, Aug. 3l.-WHEAT-A futile
attempt by the bulls to advance prices
because the lad lower Liverpool
opening was considered only In the
light of a sympathetic decline, wheat
again turned quite weak, showing
great activity throughout the session
Local professionals were selling
October at 70 IA at the opening and
succeeded in starting that option on
the tobogan ride, only checking it
by profit taking.
Receipts that q few days ago gave
every evidence of falling of ere up

with the break.
Closing cables from Liverpool were
still lower and although cash buying
was good here wheat continued low.
Confirmed reports from the west
and northwest that threshing was
not hindered in any way by weather
conditions, which were all that could
be asked for.
CoRN-The weakness in wheat had
little effect upon corn, which is due
to the fact that this cereal had very
little support on the short side; how
ever out of sympathy it declined 1-2
cent. The cables were weakening
on opening and had few followers
who sold during the first hour, but
the country generally were not SELL

the price and fine weather. 1t be-
