NEW SHOE STORE OPENS.
Bromley & Co. Make Their Introduction to
the People of WinneSheik
County.

Out of the ashes of the memorable
fire which wrecked John Curtin's
handsome store building on Water
Street one bleak, cold night last win
ter, has arisen a new store, more
beautiful and modern than the for
mer, which was opened to the public
yesterday. The new store has been
leased by Bromley & Co., formerly
of Marshalltown, Iowa, who have
filled it with large stock of shoes,
and have come to DEBORAH to locate
and become identified with our bust
ness interests. We extend them a
cordial welcome, hoping that they
may enjoy patronage that will JUS
tify them in locating here.
The handsome new store which they
occupy is modern in every respect. A
new front with small iron pillars and
large plate glass windows affords
ample light, which is enhanced by
large windows in the rear. The win
dows will also admit of excellent dis
plays. The entrance through single
door discloses as neat and pretty a
salesroom as one could desire. A
handsome steel ceiling, beautifully
decorated walls, hard wood floor,
with new modern shelving present an
appearance at once pleasing and at
tractive. On the east side of the room
the shelves are filed with mems, boys
and youths shoes, while the west
side contains women's, misses and
children's footwear. The center of
the room will be used for showing,
fittingfand wrapping footwear. In
the rear comfortable reception room
or Office is partitioned off, where bust
ness other than the selling of goods
can be transacted The basement is
fitted with furnace and all modern
conveniences, so that in all it is a mo-
del shoe store, and naturally its pro-
prietors are proud of it. A large stock
of footwear of all kinds will constant
ly be kept in stock. The two well
known brands of shoes, M. A. Pack
ard & Co., and ]. s. Nelson, will be
the leaders, and it will be the aim al
ways to keep in stock all widths and
sizes, so as to easily fit everyone. Mr..
Bromley is an obliging, courteous
gentleman, has been in the shoe bust
ness for many years, and understands
it thoroughly. He is assisted by Mr..
LLinnevold, who is also an experienced
shoe man, and well known here.
They will doubtless enjoy satisffac-
tory trade from the start.

FASHIONS FOR MEN.
The Dinner Jacket or Tuxedo Abused
New Ideas i'm Ties.

Never were social functions more elabo-
rate and more care taken in dress by
the social set than at the present
time. At a social gathering 1 lately
attended in New York it was a pleas
ure to notice how we'll and how uni
formly the men were dressed. 1t simply
went to show that the smart set was guild
ed by the established seasons code and
uniformly adhered to it. The same uni
formity 1 noticed at a bachelors dinner
few evenings later. OF course, in all large
gatherings one finds the man who imagines
he can create a style and be regarded as
fashion plate by wearing some extreme
new creation. Instead of getting the glad
hand of fashion he is set of with the eX-
tremists.
Indianapolis certainly ought to be the
fashion center for this section of the
country, but some of the smaller cities can
give her a good run for these laurels sim
ply on account of overconfidence. a man
who has lived here so long that everybody
knows him feels privileged to go TO nearly
any function dressed to suit his own feel
ings at the time. l claim that any man
attending an invitation affair should look
his best and be particularly and properly
dressed in honor of his host or hostess,
who knows that you have the proper
clothes for the occasion and will wear
them There is hardly any excuse for
man wearing a dinner jacket and black
tie TO a ball, card party or theater party,
present. The license given a married man
when he is going TO the theater with his
wife, knowing she is not going TO wear an
evening gown, is different proposition,
and a Tuxedo is correct for the occasion.
but a young man is not supposed TO know
how his young lady is going TO be gowned
and should always wear full evening dress,
which is present: The long evening
coat, vest to match or white evening
vest (the latter strictly if dance) The
plain white dull-finish shirt Is the dressy:
or now in vogue and becoming very popu-
lar, the pique bosom, plain or plated:
straight or small poke collar with a small
Barathea or fine pique bat tie. cut either
square or blunt, pointed at the ends and
not over one and quarter inch wide. The
small butterfly tie is also very neat and in
good taste. The great trouble with most
men is that they pay no attention 10 the
length of their ties. when the better shops
can give the proper length carrying their
dress ties i'm all lengths, the same as coll
lars in all sizes.
OF course, being a newcomer in the city.
I do not care to create any hard feelings
bv harsh or severe criticisms. but from
my present and will say. quickly formed
opinions | should judge that the social
and dressier set of indianapolis needs
little touching up. or carelessness will lead
to the forming of poor opinions of our
people by the outside social world.

SUSTAINED BY BLATCHLEY.


State Geologist Blatchley yesterday. in
speaking OF the dismissal of Mr.. Matthews,
one of the assistants of State Gas In
spector Leech. at Alexandria, Thursday,
said: Il believe that Mr.. Leech acted wise
" in dismissing Matthews. The latter
was but a delegated subordinate of Mr..
Leech. hired at the instigation of num-
Der of gas-belt manufacturers When the
Anti-gas-waste Association made complaint
TO Mr. Leech that some of the manufac-
turers in Alexandria and the surrounding
cities were wasting gas he did not have suf-
ficient force of men TO look after all who
were supposed to be using fambeau burn
ers- The manufacturers seemed as willing
as the State officers that the waste of gas
snOuld De stopped, and informed Mr.. Leecn
that they would pay for an officer to look
after those who were thought to be using
hdmDedu burners. Mr.. Leech accepted the
proposition of the manufacturers. but they
said since they were paying for the services
or the man they should be allowed to APP
point him. To this Mr.. Leech acceded.
Matthews was appointed by the manufac-
turers and power was delegated TO him
by Mr.. Leech. During the several weeks
he was employed in this position Mr.. Leech
requested that he make at least one re-
port a week to him about his work.
Matthews is said to have told Leech that
he was not employed by him and did not
have to make any reports of his work.
Leech became suspicious of the work or
Matthews, and several times when he asked
the latter to go out to the various glass
works at night to see if they used fiambeau
burners he replied that he would not eX-
pose himself TO the cold weather for $50
per month Leech became tired of this
and informed Matthews that his services
were no longer needed and the power given
him revoked Mr.. Leech, with the
assistance of Mr.. Kinney, went to several
manufacturing establishments and found
them using fambeau burners.
