IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES

The Des Molnes Capital which is pur-
suing a conservative course as to the
governorship, says in recent issue:
Mr.. Cummins is man Of ability and
courage and has been attempting To
voice the popular sentiment in Iowa for
better political methods and cleaner poll
tics, but he certainly cannot stand for
any of the degrees Of populism proposed
by the Leader, the Sioux City Tribune
and the Dies Moines News. The Capital
believes in Mr.. cummins; has conf
dence in his judgment. his republicanisn,
and his patriotism, and believes that he
he will be nominated at Cedar Rapids
practically without opposition. AS gov
ernor and as a member of the executive
council he would be fair to all inter
ests and all men. His whole career rs a
lawyer and as public man vouehsafe
these things. The opposition to Mr..
Cummins has been old-blooded and
heartless. His defeat for the senate
was followed by displacing him from
the national committee, a proceeding
that was wholly untalied for ana ap-
peared to be matter OF revenge Be-
cause of the treatment bestowed upon
him, thousands of republican have been
attracted to his standard purely as a
matter of Justice
The Grundy Republican notices that
the splendid showing made by A. H..
Cummins in the early conventions is be-
ing re-echoed in the late conventions.

coME-BE SENSIBLE.

CUWE-bE SENSIblE.
AT present discussion is going on in
the Iowa daily press regarding certain
proposed methods of assessing railway
property which grows actually ludicrous
at times. The following is taken from
one of the most reputable journals in
Iowa:
Suppose a stock company is organ
lied for the purpose of operating farm.
Say that $4,000 is invested in land
Shares bear the face value OF 500. Two
hundred acres of Land, at $50 am acre,
exhaust the capital stock. For working
capital a mortgage is placed on the land
for $1,000, or s25 an acre. Across the
road is another farm owned by an ndi-
yitfual. The land is of the same value,
and the mortgage upon it is OF the same
amount. Now the assessor comes
around. He says to the manager cf the
stock company that he has invested liz
stocks and bonds $4,000 and that there
fore $4,000 represents the actual value
of the investment in the farm he is
managing. The property IS assessed on
that valuation. The assessor crosses
the road and says TO the individual that
the actual value Of his land is $50 an
acre, or $4,000. and he assesses him ac-
cordingly There are those who are now
talking about the proper wa@ TO assess
the railroad property Of the state who
say this would be the equitable way TO
compel corporations to pay their fair
share of taxes"

seen thus far have displayed a won defully intricate mass of fine tucking and puffng, shirring and plating, to say nothing of the vast amount of exquisite handwork that appears on both shirt and bodice, and anything like an accurate description of their manifold charms seems an impossi- bility.
 These gowns are essentially sum- mer ones, and the season of 1901 seems to be given over entirely to ethereal fabrics, with lace and chiffon perhaps playing the most important part of all.
 There is perfect craze at the pres ent moment for black chantilly lace, draped over white chiffon, and the. possibilities of this artistic combina- tion are indeed great. While on the face of it am bound to confess it sounds extravagant, such a gown, if properly fashioned, will be an ideal one for evening wear throughout the entire winter season.
 The rage for spotted materials has not abated in the least, and it is safe to predict it's continued popular
  The fabric of this description most sought after at present is of a soft, silky texture, showing a cream ground dotted all over with medium sized black spots, and, while not at all pretty, it is pronounced exceed ingly smart-looking. To my mind it is too dazzling for general wear, but as it has the air of novelty, besides being decidedly Frenchy in appear ance, it is likely to remain favorite for some time at least.
 Fashionable dressmakers are still fashioning their handsomest summer gowns of crepe de chine and foulards of every description, trimmed with any quantity of lace and ribbon vel vet. Many women complain bitterly of the price of crepe de chine, but it is reallya odinvestment, for no fab- ric cleans more beautifully, and when the powers of the cleaner have been entirely exhausted the dyer's art can

 summer frock, provided, of course, the wearer have pretty arm. Whether the slight pufness above the elbow seen on many of the. newest sleeves will lead to an exaggerated fullness later on remains to be seen, but for this season at least we are not likely to suffer from some thing very outre.
 Travelling coats this year are charm ing and quite Inexpensive as compared to those of last season. There is a strong feeling just now in favor of the linen coat, cut either in empire or princess style. Linen is quite re- lief after the alpaca of other sea- sons, which material always seemed to me utterly lacking in style. Other travelling. wraps are made of plaited glace silk, rather elaborately trimmed with insertions of cluny lace.
 Speaking of travelling coats one's thoughts naturally turn in the direc- tion of holiday making, when promi- nent among the necessary items of our outfits will be neatly made and be- coming bathing dress.
 These dresses nowadays are given as much care in the making as any other garment, and are procura ble in several different styles and at very moderate cost. The most popular style this season is made in the tunie and kniekerbocker shape, fashioned of serge and trimmed with several rows of braid. The favorite color is navy blue, with white braid trimming, although the charms of dull red serge with braidings of black are not to be despised.
 The millinery of the hour is de- lightful; it's chief charm to my mind being found in it's exquisite sweeping curves. Romney and Gainsborough shapes are the order of the day, and these are of course always trimmed with long dropping plumes. Very quaint are the new rosettes on the summer toque. They are made of soft silk and look like huge mush- rooms perched on the side of the crown, and while not at all pretty are considered chic in the extreme. Flat shapes are much in vogue, and as they are quite popular will probably be worn throughout the early fall.
 Much of the success of a becoming hat depends upon the way the hair Is dressed, ana Just now Lame F dSnlOn decrees it shall be dressed in the low simple style of years gone by. But no hard and fast rules are laid down, and if it is more becoming to wear the hair dressed high it is permis- sible to do so. Waving is still in vogus, but it is not exaggerated. and as near- ly resembles the natural thing as pos- sible. KATE GARDNER

be resorted to with absolute safety as regards good results. Conse- quently crepe de chine is, after all, most serviceable material for both day and evening wear.
 The new muslins are simply de- 1ightful. Each year they seem to get more and more beautiful. The most popular are those of French design and the particular fancy of the mo- ment is to mount them over sheer white swiss. Some of the newest models are frilled almost to the waist, the bodice being made quite simply, finished with the inevitable lace collar or fichu of hand-embroid- cred lawn. The charms of the sim pie white muslin gowns are as countless as the stars, and yet it is one that few can afford to wear. It is a gown you simply cannot econo- mize on, for it must be dainty and fresh and of beautiful quality, and, above all, simply made to be 8 sue

A Timely Suggestion.

It has been suggested that the Con- necticut Lighting and Power Go. should extend their tracks from the present North Main street terminal and loop up through the new roadway to the park and then around to Bellevue and back over the old road. This would be great accommodation to the public and something very much ap- preciated. It is hoped that favorable action will be taken by the manage ment on this suggestion. It would also mean great increase in patronage to the company at a very little outlay for securing it.

Next Sunday there will appear in the Journalistic field of Waterbury the Sun day Morning News a teu-page sheet which it is believed will fill a want long felt in the Brass city-a paper that will give all the news dressed most readably yet without shadow of smut or scandal. The projector, Charles J. Sawdey, has been in. the newspaper business for over a quarter of a century, going through every stage of the business from 'tprinter's devil'' to the case, to the job and advertising setting, to the foremanship, to reporter, editor and business and advertising manager. His thorough knowledge of every detail en- ables him to step into eny place, if needed; and he is hustler not afraid to work no matter what it is that needs to be done.
