PILLS 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. ILL.,.
Soft wool materials make up very
prettily in this way. In figured French
flannel the collar may be made OF the
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 trim ming,
sther tucks, stitched bands, rufTles or
velvet folds, stitched on.
The long-waisted mode, in which the
list 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 this
attempt to produce the effect of stcls
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 the
hem, and two in the back, giving 2
long effect to the waist, which is de-
fined with a 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 a contin-
uation of those in the waist 4 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'esprt for party
wear are varicusly trimmed with
ruches, ruffles, lace insertion and rows
of colored satin ribbon. A pretty feat
ure Of the small girls costume is the
coat and hat to match.-New York

COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Stimulated by Brilliant Crop Prospects and
Good Prices for Farm Products Fall
Business Expands.

New York, Aug. 9.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: Midsummer
quiet has gone from distributive
trade, and, stimulated by really bril-
liant crop prospects and good prices
for farm products, fall business has
begun to expand. Buyers are arriv-
ing in large numbers at all mar
kets and next week promises to see
demand further increased. Failures
are few and liabilities small.
The weight Of imported iron is
pressing on domestic sentiment,
though no perceptible effect is yet
seen on price for pig iron, which is
still in active request for next years
delivery. Steel rails, plates, bars and
sheets are active at the west, but the
edge of the demand for plates and
sheets appears to have been taken
off at Pittsburg. Western machinery
manufacturers are reported crowded
with orders.
Wheat, including -four, exports
for the week ended August 7 aggre-
gate 4,944,363 bushels, against 1885,

THE REWARD FUR TRACEY.
It IL Probable 1t VIII Not BE Paid for
Some Time Owing to the Number
Of claimants.

Portland, Ore, Aug. SIT is prob
able that the $4,1OO reward for Out
law Tracey's body will not be paid
for some time owing to the number
of claimants. The body will be
taken to Salem at the conclusion Of
the inquest at Davenport, Wash.
Gov. Gear has already stated that he
was willing for the state to pay the
reward as soon as proper identified
ton shall be made, but the reward
will not be paid unless the claim
ants reach an agreement. 1t now
seems likely that the aid Of the
courts will be involved. It is now
said that Gov. Gear will also favor
the payment Of the $500 to Mrs.
Waggoner for Merrill's body at the
same time the reward is paid for
Tracey. Gov. Mcbride, Of Washing
ton, has announced that he will act
in accordance with the decision of
the Salem authorities in paying the
reward.

A BONANZA WHEAT FARM.


st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. "a syndi-
cate Of Americans, led by I. B.
Hoard, Of Nebraska, a wealthy cat
tlcman, will establish the first boz
nanza wheat farm in Canada between
Craik and Davidson, on the Prince
Albert branch of the Canadian Pa
cifc. Forty thousand acres of land
has been purchased at an outlay Of
100000, and another 100000 has
been set aside by the syndicate for
improvements. None Of the methods
which made the great wheat farms Of
North Dakota famous have yet been
applied in Canada and wheat raising
has been confined entirely to small
areas and to the work Of small farm
ers.
The syndicate includes F. ]. Wad-
dell, Of Aurora, Neb., another wealthy
cattleman, and capitalists from Iowa
and Illinois. One whole township is
to be converted into monster wheat
field and the greater portion Of
township adjoining ia also to become
portion Of the syndicate's inter-
ests.
Mr.. Hoard and his associates will
introduce steam plows and other
modern farm machinery.
The syndicate will own its own
elevators, two Of which are to be
built this fall at Garvin, in the CEN
ter of the new farm. 1t will also
operate nine elevators at adjacent

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.

of horses, wagon and 40 ten-quart
cans of glycerine went up also in

that accompanied the explosion. Jo-
seph Gibson, aged "A years, a resident
Of Bradford, and Oscar Bergvall, aged
II years, an Office boy employed by

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. o. platoon
Of the governors troops Of cavalry
went to Turkey Run hill yesterday
OH an errand Of mercy and rescued
a small family from violence of the
neighbors. There had been petty
acts of violence reported from that
territory nearly every day for a
week. Yesterday Brig. Gen, Goblin
received pathetic letter from the
wife of non-union workman, who
is employed in the Gilberton collery
OF the Philadelphia q Reading Coal
and Iron company, in which she tells
OF the treatment accorded her by
strikers in that vicinity. Among
other things she said rocks had been
thrown through the windows at
night, one of them nearly striking
her sleeping child; the house was
damaged, and while she was out
doors one night a shot was fred at
her. Turkey Run hill has no police
protection and Gen. Goblin decided to
help the woman. He learned that
she was not in the best Of health and
1t was decided that she had better be
taken from the place to Pottsville
hospital. To carry this out the gen.
eral ordered a platoon Of, cavalry to
make a demonstration in that section
and while there to escort the woman
and child to the railroad station.
This was done.
The troops rode oil over the terri
tory and found that the population,
which is made up Of many foreign
ers, was not in the best frame Of
mind. The soldiers were hooted and
jeered and called uncomplimentary
names. Only one stone was thrown
at the horsemen and this was done
by some one In crowd on q high
ridge out of reach Of the soldiers.
The cavalrymen stopped their horses
and the crowd scattered instantly.
