DR.. ]. A. r. Grassland of St.
Joseph, Mo-, one of the leading
colored republicans of Missouri,
is a candidate for Recorder Of
Deeds at Washington, D. c. We
understand that President Nc
Kinley has stated that Hon. II.
p. Cheatham will be retained.
While we would like to see the
doctor succeed, but think it un-
wise to turn Mr.. Cheatham down
when there is no cause. Indiana
also had a strong candidate.

We had hoped that editor Nor
man of the Mitche1lville Index
would be induced to become a
candidate for representative, from
Polk county, but it does not seem
as though he will allow his name
to be used. Mr., Norman is one
of the best journalist in the
county, and by his wide acquaint-
ance, liberal views and sound
judgment would make a valuable
member of the House, and again,
he is friend of our race if they
respect themselves.

FRiLLS OF FASHION.

Variations in children's gowns bios
som out from time to time, even though
they are very slight, and small girls
rival their mothers in their ambition
to keep up to date.
Soft wool materials make up very
prettily in this way. In figured French
flannel the collar may be made of tho
same and trimmed with rows OF narrow
braid or velvet ribbon. Skirts of the
small gowns are usually plain, but the
older girls have some sort of trimming,
either tucks, stitched bands, ruf1les or
velvet folds, stitched, on.
The long-waisted mode, In which the
waist line rounds down low In front,
is conspicuously evident among the
gowns for girls over 10 years Of age,
and the small gowns for dainty little
girls of initiate this fashion as much
as possible by having the long waist
all around. Guimpe dresses, which
never seem to go out of style, are suit
able for all ages, from to the more
mature years Of middle age.
Bolero jackets are very popular in
the kingdom of small costumes, and the
attempt to produce the effect of stole
ends is seen in one little gown, where
narrow lace revers are carried down the
entire length Of the front, as shown In
the illustration. Another pretty effect
Is made by two box plaits in front, one
at either side from the yoke to tho
hem, and two in the back, giving a
long effect to the waist, which Is de-
fined with narrow velvet belt ending
in small velvet rosettes at either side
Of the front On the plaits. The skirt
gathers on to the waist between the
plaits, which apparently are contin-
uation OF those in the waist. A sailor
collar Of lace covers the shoulders In
the back and opens in front over .
yoke Of tucked white silk or batiste.
Thin gowns OF point d'esprit TO: party
wear are variously trimmed with
ruches, ruff1es, lace insertion and rows
Of colored satin ribbon. A pretty feat
ure of the small girls costume Is tho
coat and hat to match.-New York

A debate will take place at the

cussed is, Resolved that railroads

merce and trade than ships" 1t
was argued at Iowa City two months
ago and on account of some dissatis-
faction it was decided to try it again.
We heartily endorse the editorial
published in a recent issue of the
Bystander, relative to unauthorized
persons contributing items for pub
lication. 1t really places the news
paper management in an embarrass-
ing position to receive communica-
tions from outside people, and espec-
nally when persons have been ap-
pointed to look after their business.
They hate to cast such articles aside,
yet they are under no obligations to
publish matter thus contributed, In
sending these communications the
rights of others are infringed upon
and the press is used to give the
contributor little cheap notoriety
they otherwise would not get. So
long as our papers allow this to 20
on just so long will this kind of work
continue. If those people would read
the editorial in question hint to the
wise would be sufficient.
