FARMERS DAY AT BENEFITS
Hundreds Of TiIer Of the Soil, with
Their Families. visit the
New store.

W. r. Bennett turned over the keys OF his
new establishment TO his farmer c%onstitu-
ents yesterday. There were tillers OF the
soil galore, accompanied by their wives and
families. Husbandmen, horticultural and
live stock breeders hobnobed in the corri-
doris. Mr.. Bennett called 1t his farmers
convention" and he was b%ustling about and
shaking hands with as much gusto as though
he we're a candidate for sheriff.
At 1890 a great table on the top floor,
laid In the form Of a L, and set to accom-
modatet 100 people. was announced to be IN
readiness for the delegates and their fam
lilies. The scheme was to reproduce a
harvest handspread. Everything was placed
on the table at once; there we're no
courses; the menu was strictly rural. and
therefore appetizing in the extreme. Great
bowls OF tomato soup adorned the center of
the board. Then there we're FISH, meat, veg
etables, pumpkin pie, apple butter, ice
cream and coffee. When the assistant cook
shouted Dinner is ready" the delegates
did their share toward reproducing a din
ner hour scene at a farm house during
harvest time by taking their places
promptly without show Of reluctance. All
had previously washed their faces and
hands in the new lavatory-a rite necessary
to preserve the spirit of the occasion.
When they had finished the table was
spread for a second relay and another 100
guests we're served.
During the meal hour they discussed irri-
cation, the man in the adjoining township
who had harvested FIVE crops of alfalfa in
one season, the best way to dig a silo, an
Improved make Of lister and rotation in
crops. Interpreted with these themes were
complimentary comments on the big new
emporium OF their host. All agreed that II
was a model of a department store and as
sured Mr.. Bennett that, now that they knew
where to find him, they would call again.
During the afternoon q reception commit
tee OF twenty-six representative farmers,
who previously had had some schooling In
the geography of the store, served TO pilot
the visitors to the various departments,
This committee was made UP as follows
LAT Shipley, William Butler, Fred Butler,

The convention was in session the greater
part of the afternoon and ended with the
adoption OF a resolution to give Mr.. Ben
nett a generous share Of their patronage.

FIRE THREATENS LIVERY BARN
PFompt Work of Department Prevents
Flames from Destructive
Work.

A disastrous FIRE was prevented at the
livery barn of N. e. Dillrance, Seventeenth
street and st. Mary's avenue. at 2 o'clock
this morning by the prompt work OF the
fire department. A blaze originated in
some rubbish on the north side of the barn
and communicated to the building, soon
filing It with smoke. The horses became
excited and awakened the men who sleep
at the barn and an alarm was sent in.
The FIRE was promptly extinguished and
only a few boards on the side OF the build
Ing were scorched. How It originated IS
not known.
At $3.50 o'clock last night a coal oil lamp
exploded in the living rooms over a barn
at 1918 Chicago street. burning Gus and
Pete Nelson painfully, but not seriously.
The FIRE was ~extinguished without gaining
any Roadway.

his alleged offense.

used violence, but unsuccessfuliy. II is told

AS the news spread throughout the town

the sheriff. The latter and his deputy,
Adam sloup. at once started for the scene
OF the trouble, as did also Deputy County
Attorney Elmer Thomas.
Officers Fear Angry Crowd.
BY the time they reached the Florence

anxious to be rid Of their charge and the
prisoner himself was so enthusiastic at the
prospect of being removed from the sound
Of the angry threats that reached him from
outside the building that he waived ex-
animation instantly. John Negley, police
Judge OF Florence, bound him over in the
sum of 81, 900, which he could not furnish,
and he was whisked away to Omaha at once.
The girl was held under 500 bond and will

Half Hour at Mission.

From this she went to the tidy little mis-
sion on Tenth street. There she passed an
enjoyable half hour, listening to the young
voices Of the children of the neighborhood
sing words that sounded strange and sur
passingly sweet in such surroundings.
Mrs. Nation appeared to take no note OF
time or distance, but her delegation did,
and brought her tour to an end after a
short visit at Wirth's garden. For the
next half hour she rested and lunched at
her room at the hotel and then went to
the station to a her train. In the watt
ing room she reproached every man with
a cigar in his mouth and on the platform
made a special target OF Mr.. Potter, man
ager Of the lunch room. On the car plat
form she halted to hold a joint debate with
a young man from the farm who recently
graduated from cubebs to real cisarettes
and was proud OF 1t. The usual crowd
gathered and she passed on into the car
only when the train began to move.

By Way of SuG&eSff0r,

The careless Tapping green and blue
wells are no longer in favor. Wells the
color of the costume now are more
popular and quite smart.
A cape, to be fashionable, should be
long and must fit tightly over the
shoulders, giving a sloping effect.
Sometimes these garments are finished
with a standing collar.
Ribbon makes a serviceable trim
ming for all kinds of gowns, On some
of the latest frocks the ribbon is plait-
ed on in fine quillings. A white serge
skirt has the ribbon slipped through
the plaits and tied in bows in front.
Any color can be used for the desired
effect. Trimming gowns with ribbon
in all styles is revived.
Heavy laces are used to decorate the
tailor-m ades-Venetian, guipure, Irish
lace and heavy Russian lace. Most Of
these collar and panel effects are done
by hand. Never before in the history
of dressmaking has there been so
much detail work, for each dress COM
mands an individual finish. AS con-
sequence a handsome tailor-made
costs handful of money.
Some lovely picture hats are be-
ing made in taffeta with large, floppy
crowns. White, edged with black
chenille, is rather smart for early win
ter wear, with muffs to match, and, of
course, the decoration of black or
white ostrich plumes. Picture hats do
not vary very much, for those copied
from the old masters are always the
best. Some of them are trimmed with
a waving paradise plume instead OF an
ostrich feather. Some of the crowns
are high, while others show the drawn
Henry VIII shape.

White camel-hair, tams and those
white with black polka dots are espe-
cially popular with high school misses
and golfers.
Tulle bows and spangled butterflies
are sufficiently rare among hair orna-
ments to be held in high esteem by
those on the lookout for something
exclusive.
Eyelet holes, the simple decoration
of our grandmother day, rises from
its long silent tomb and lays claim to
our winter gowns. Cloth cut all over
in eyelet holes and worked in silk Of
contrasting colors is quite a novelty
and extremely beautiful.
This is the season of braiding-braids
of every kind, in the most severe SIM
plicity or extravagantly elaborate
styles. Often a narrow contrasting
braid is used to outline the edges OF
the wider braids and a pretty braid
effect is given by strips Of cloth cut
and stitched to form any design used
In braiding.
Every kind and size Of button is now
used. Some are exquisite and of costly
make, while others just as useful and
artistic are covered with plaid silk and
used upon gowns of dark, plain color.
Fancy buttons and loops fasten the
cuffs, loops being used more at present
than the buttonholes Of other days.
Some of the buttons are very large;
these are wooden molds, covered with
black silk and then recovered with
lace. These are called '.pompadours."
Big white lace buttons appear on
morning gowns; manipulated buttons
are also worn and the real Dresden
