The heavy rains of Saturday night
Sunday and Sunday evening washed
out the track on the Rock Island road
between Atbol and KenSington in two
places. AS No. 5 was coming in Sun
day night it ran into a stack of alfal-
IA hay and the engineer on slowing
up to see what was the matter found
the track gone only few feet ahead
of him and a torrent of water rushing
across where it should have been.
Conductor Houston tried to take his
train back to Abhol but found over
400 feet of track gone behind him.
He then swan across the stream to
notify the Flyer, No. IL, which was
coming from the west and which had
the right of way. News reached this
station however in time to hold No.
42 here. The wrecking crew arrived
there about O'Clock and had the
break repaired SO that No. got here
about a. m. The larger break was
partly repaired but all went out again
Monday night. It is thought the
trains will not reach here from the
east until this afternoon or tomorrow
morning. The trains from the west
were held here until yesterday after
noon when they were sent west to
Limon and thence east to Kansas City
over the Union Pacific. There were
waSbouts also on the B. & NJ, Miss
ouri Pacific and .. P. but the latter
have theirs repaired.

BUSINESS SIDE OF FASHION.
Paris Is the Grand Bazaar TO Which
All WOmankiud Goes.

Paris Is the Grand Bazaar TO Which
All Womankind Goes.
The commercial side of fashion is a
thing which an observant visitor to
Paris can hardly fail to notice. The
whole city is more or less given over 20
the service of dress. 1t is estimated
that about fifty thousand costumers
and their assistants are at work in
the city. A glance at the books of
some of the big houses proves that
Paris is all she claims TO be il, the
world of dress.
Queens and princesses order their
choicest gowns there: the wives of the
sultan and the women of the mikado's
court wear on special occasion dresses
created by the artists of the great
Paris houses; and bellies IF South
America are their most extravagant
clients.
TO adapt their work to this foreign
patronage. the models who stand to
try on and show the superb costumes
are chosen to represent the average
type and figure of women of different
IL.
Spanish.
Some of the dresses are created in
modest ateliers, or shops, others IN
apartments which do not in the least
resemble a business establishment.
Places like Paquin's are almost theat-
rical, with their spacious rooms and
well-dressed attendants.
Those women who achieve success in
attracting and retaining customers
sometimes receive from three to four
thousand dollars a year. The profits
of a popular establishment are large,
but much depends upon the personal
characteristics of the assistants. Tact,
experience and good taste are absolute
ly essential.
The dressmakers OF Paris take the
greatest pains to keep themselves in
formed of the fiuctua ions of fortune OF
their clients, so many of whom are per-
sons well known tc the public; and the
credit of patrons is always carefully
noted. N fact. little, select detec-
tive force has these matters constantly
in charge.
If Paris is the center of fashion, all
France assists in the production of the
materials used. Whole towns. such as
Lyons, Amiens, RoubaiX and others.
depend for their prosperity on the max
ing of the goods used by Partisan cos
tuners. Taking the country all
through. the New York Tribune esti-
mates that no less than one million
four hundred thousand masters anu
work people are engaged in supplying
fashion with its materials: nd since
caprice is always the chief element Of
fashion. these industries are subject to
constant change

more impossible, he began painting:
Il never did see the like. / never did

round the field he stopped, GREATNESS.
