FASHIONS DEGREES.

Very pretty girdles are made OF
white glace silk or white ribbon, ap-
pliaued with the new cretonne flow
ers.
Gay little low shoes have red heels,
the front part of the shoe, in which
the eyelet holes for the lacings are
set, being red and the lacings light
drab silk.
A pretty combination for stylish
summer hat is a white fancy straw
trimmed with three or four shades OF
yellow, either in tulle or chiffon, and
flowers, and a black velvet bow at
one side.
Some of the handsomest long coats
of silk, chiffon, and fringe, and vari
Gus kinds of fine materials are
trimmed with gold lace. This, if il
is narrow, will probably be all of the
gold, and, if wider, of the white
thread. 1t is beautiful, effective anC
costly.
Grass linen is going to be very pop
ular this summer. Made over pink, i,
| is exqrisite. Mauve, Nile green, Law
ender and turquoise are all pretty
with grass linen, but pink is the
shade to bring out it's full beauty
Grass linen, ny the way, looks better
tucked than almost any other sum
mer fabric.

The Trouble at Troy.

"The trouble at Troy" said the professor,
"appears to be that a feeling of inactioh
seemed to take possession of the Trojans.
They were, so to speak, seemingl ly under the
influence of fate from which there was no
escape. This was plainly shown when the
wooden horse was discovered outside of the
walls What is it, Mr.. Blinghorn?"
GAS l understand it, sir" said the bril-
liant young janitor, ''just as soon as they got
the wooden horse inside, all the Trojan
women rushed away to get on their loveliest
clothes, and all the men toddled off to get
their tall hats and their Inverness over
coats"
"And why should they do that?" cried
the astonished professor.
Because they thought it was horss

Lacey Hill, one of the worst and mos;
difficult engineering problems upon the
entire line of the Central. 1t was de-
bated for some time whether it would
be better to make the cut of the Mill or
TO change the line of the road at this
point altogether as there is a Very un-
desirable curve here. 1t was finally de-
cided to make the cut on the present
line. and the completed work will make

THEY DON I Ike N'
Business Men Not Pleased With
the Discontinuance Of Ev.
enine Mail Delivery.
Think 2 O'Clock Delivery Should
Have Been Held Until Ev.
enine Trains Arrive.
The New Schedule as Arranged
on Recommendations
From Washington.

The business men of Marshalltown
are not pleased with the orders from
the postoffice department at Washing-
ton that have resulted in the discontin-
uance of the evening delivery of mail
In fact some of them are doing some
vigorous kicking, and there is talk of a
strong protest being made to the
powers that be. No one wishes TO over
work the carrier force, and there is no
reason for doing 50. At the same time
1T Is plain to be seen that different ar
rangement could have been made in
the elimination of one of the trips that
would have resulted in a much more
satisfactory service to the business
men and to the postofiice officials as
we'll. as the latter are anxious u give
the patrons the best service possible.
The new schedule has been arranged
in compliance with the recommends
tons of the department, which are par
amount to definite orders Assistant
Superintendent Mccoy, of the free de-
livery division of the department, was
in Marshalltown a short time ago. and
| as result the following was embodied
| in a communication on the subject to
Postmaster Saint:
Mr. Mccoy recommends that you
submit new schedule, emitting the
evening trip, assigning three carriers to
the business section, Who shall make
four daily deliveries, and five to the
residence section, who shall make two
deliveries daily
In compliance with these instructions
the following schedule has been pre-
pared, the business deliveries TO be
made by carriers. . and 8. the main res

II the department was desirous of
reducing the number of trips and redis-
tricting the territory instead of furnish
ling an additional carrier. as Postmas-
ter Saint requested this could have
been done without eliminating the eve
ming business delivery, as this is one of
the most imortant of the day as FAR as
business men and merchants are con-
cerned, but by cutting out the 100 p. m.
trip. 1t is argued that the afternoon
delivery at 1:50 o'clock would not be
missed. as there is but one insignificant
man. the Colorado special from the
west, to be distributed for that deliv
cry. In the evening, however, the mail
matter is heavy, as there are two early
evening trains from the east. one from
the north and one from the south. With
the evening carrier window service cut
out the business men will be compelled
to wait until the following day before
their mail can be procured.
