Ehe --latest Ideas
From Paris

New umbrella handles show mount
irgs of copper studded with either
gold or silver.
Button novelties are many and one
shows a silver snake coiled around a
blue turquoise.
A large butterfly set in diamonds,
with a single large ruby as the head,
is among the jewelry novelties.
A curious brooch is in virgin gold
and represents a slender stick, around
which is coiled a wicked-looking
snake with a ruby eye.
Partisan pearls cut in pagoda
shapes are strung together closely
without any intervening gold links to
form the newest neck chain.
One sees a great many shades of
gray in the new goods and these
colors are known to the wise shopman
as cloud, storm, pearl OF moonlight.

four-leaved clover. This is enameled
to represent the real leaf and has an

little attention to it. Perhaps not as
much as we should under the circum.

more careful in the future and never
again permit ourselves to be so grossly
insulted.
Furthermore, we would like to suggest,
very mildly of course, that it might be

We have perused the editorial in the

2lst, and We are greyed to find that the
editor don't seem to realize that he is

Dakota shall be represented at the great
Worlds fair in st. Louis in 1908. There
is no thought entertained but what we
will be there, that is foregone conclu.
sion. the only question is how shall We
do it? The subject under discussion
among our people, and especially the
mining fraternity is,
lst. Can we get the legislature to meet
in extra session and appropriate the
necessary funds from the treasury of the
state.

son. The records Of her twenty seven
years Of life are few. Born in Chase
county, Kansas, in 1874, she came with
her parents, j. S. and Anna Peltz, to the
Black Hills in 1881. She was a pupil in
Custer school and an esteemed teacher
in Custer county until her marriage in
1896, to e. A. Wilson. Since that event,
her home has been in Harding county,
this state, and her life that of loving
daughter to the aged parents of her hus-
band, devoted wife, and loving mother
to the beautiful little girl who survives
her to know in after life the bitterness
of an irreparable loss.
For three months, since fatal disease
was fastened upon her body, her life
has been a martyrdom encouptarad ,r;tb
fortitude and resignation which was
the amazement of those who watched
her triumph fion day to day over the
fear and agony of death. Calmly and
heroically she made her preparations for
death and as calmly met at the last hour,
humanity's great enemy, leaving behind
her legacy Of precious memories TO her
bereaved friends. The keynotes of her
life were ASPIRATION and duty and the
end was peace.

Dakota, is mining country, and il should
be understood by all, whether they be
miners, farmers, or mechanics that to
the extension Of our mines, their output
of mineral, their richness and their fame
we must look for the prosperity of our
country. And while this important ques.
ton is up for consideration we may con-
gratulate ourselves that we haye an or
ganized body of intelligent men, called
"The Mining Mems Association" who
have grappled with the problem, and we
believe we can safely trust them to deal
with it, and stand by them ready to do
whatever in their best judgment they
may decide is for the best.
Now, to return to the efusion of our
weekly contemporary. The editor is
very plain in his opposition to exhibits
of this kind. We will quote portion of
bis remarks.

Worlds Fairs, Pan Americans, ad lib

hold up on every state for an exhibit"
The Tribune Pilot is opposed to any ap.
preparation from this county as a coun-
ty. The good people of st. Louis claim
to be rich enough to have fair any how
let them have it. The bureau of pub
licity down that way is working the fool
newspapers around the country enough
to pay the assessment"
Here is an editor, it would seem, who
does not believe in advertising. For
everyone knows that an exhibit is an ad.
vertisement, and is made for that pur.
pose and nothing else, and the value Of
an advertisement is based upon the mum.

he was in the mercantile business to ad-

advertising a country and showing its
resources that is too broad for him. For
ourselves we are exceedingly glad that
we are to have an opportunity to show
to the whole world that our resources
are not excelled, our treasure house is
bursting with wealth, and to invite the
