makers seem to have returned with
quite a degree of enthusiasm to the
quaint and fetching styles of the
sixteenth century. The gagged
skirt, the flowing sleeve and pointed
bodice all belong to that far-away
time. The wide bertha and fchu of
that period are also in vogue, but
the ingenious authorities have so
arranged them that they give a
square appearance to the shoulders
instead of the slope which, though
so charming where it suits. makes
some women look terribly dowdy
and addressed. One cannot help
but observe, however, the distinct
note of individuality seen in all the
best clothes, which speaks particu-
larly well for both the modistes and
their clients.
The craze for black and white is
increasing instead of abating.

and, after all, there is nothing more
desirable than a velveteen gown in a

These ve1veteen gowns are mostly
trimmed with ehinehilla or mink fur,

AN EARLY SPRING COAT.

French patterns, broeaded on satin
so stiff and heavy as almost TO stand
alone. While brocades Of this descrip-
ton are very beautiful, they are also
very expensive, and for this reason
some of the best dressmakers are en-
pfoying thinner makes in the construc-
ton of many of their handsomest
waists. Satin of a rather thick weave,
but with a soft finish, makes ideal
waists. Fancy gauzes, too, are de-
lightfui for this purpose and later on
will be much in evidence.
Some of che new shirt waists show
many radical changes from those of
other seasons. Yokes of all kinds
pointed, round and square-haye come
inNwith a vim, and l miss my guess if
their popularity is not wonderfully in
creased before the shirt waist season
is in full swing. A few desirable mod
els are seen without yokes, but in the
majority Of cases shirt waists of this
years vintage boast a yoke of some
kind.

Of white tucked chiffon, yelled under
black chantilly lace, e%ncrusted with jet
and silver. Worn with these are large
fat stoles, made Of black and white
chiffon. OF course, the all-black hat

The general impression is that there

ARTHUR NJ. BEAUPRE.
Illinois Man Appointed to Represent
the United states in the Capital
of Colombia.

Arthur M. Beaupre, of Aurora, who
was recently appointed United States
minister to Bogota, Colombia, TO sue
coed Minister Charles b. Hart, was born
July 20, 1853, in Oswego township, Ken
dali county, which is about five miles
south Of Aurora. III. His early boyhood
was spent at the home of his parentsi in
Kendall county, and when they re-
moved to De Kalb, in 1865, he went with
them. Some time after, at the age Of
16, he entered the newspaper business

long trained skirt, but somehow
there seems much less to manage.
For V dings. receptions and smart
wear { morally, they are cut much
longer, with fun spreading trains,
which hang in the most graceful
manner.
In the world Of t~ailorB1ades there
are interesting things galore to tell
about. Buttons, for instance, are
playing an important part in dress.
Quaint enamel, old silver and beauti-
fully chased gold buttons abound on
many of the smartest taiIor-made
bodiees and coats. Fringes, too, find
much favor in the eyes Of ,he up-Io-
date tailor, and certainly make a
most effective trimming when used
with a sparing hand. E~mbroideries
are also much used by fashionable
t~ailors, some of them being very rich
and beautiful indeed. There is no
doubt, however, that it Is on pale
shades of cloth that these embroid-
cries look their best. On rough
tweeds and serges they seem quite
out Of place, to say the least, al
though some tailors are using them
in this manner with an altogether
too liberal hand. The smartest tailor
made gowns seen thus far are gener-
ally in pale shades, with a short
coatee and a handsome blouse be-
meath.
Fashion makers seem unable to
provide a satisfactory substitute for
the lace and chiffon blouse, or hat
made 81 cream tinted satin covered
with lace, which looks so delightful
when worn under a fur or velveteen
coat or with a tailormade gown. A
good many ONE are wearing charms
ing little fronts Of lace and chiffon
which show to particular advantage
when the coat is worn open, but as a
general thing we are glad to seek the
coy warmth of the buttoned coat until
the chilly days and storms Of April
are past.

elected clerk Of the city court; he was
reelected duly, but shortly after he
was urged to take the better position
of deputy county clerk of Kane county.
He accepted the latter position and
filled it during the ensuing eight years.
In 1856 he was nominated in the repub-
lican convention and was elected coun-
ty clerk by a large majority.
Mr.. Beaupre has now been in the
diplomatic service since the early part
Of President McKinley's f%rstadminis-

legation and consul general at Guate-

gotta, the capital Of Colombia, in a SINH

Beaupre began his duties at Bogota.
The family Of Mr.. Beaupre is with him.
His family consists of his wife and one
daughter, who was recently married to

Another Bank Wanted.

Not a national bank because we are
well equipped in that particular. The
kind of bank wanted is one in which
our farmers can deposit their vast
wheat surplus pending shipment by
rail or river and from which they can
draw fifteen to thirty cents per bushel
with which to SOW harvest and thresh
the coming crop. AS matters now stand
we must have relief from the present
scarcity of money and there is no def
mite prospect presented for market in
in the immediate future. If par
ties should undertake to buy with view
to hauling to the Columumbia river at
Priest Rapids ''railrOad building"
would at once he suspiooned and the
price of grain would be run up so high
that purchase and shipment would be
impossible BY depoSiting their grain
as security for slight advances per bush
ell, interest and insurance, work of the
present season could be carried on with
some sense of security, and when final
" a market is found the net proceeds
of the deposit would be realized by the
depositors. There is an opening here
for investment of capital which, under
prope. restrictions. would yield fair
returns upon unloubted security.

If the work done by the pupil, as shown
on the cal d, is not satisfactory, the par

This information can be gained very
easily by visiting the classes while at

The new comedy drama, "The Dark

will be seen at the opera house on We'd
nesday evening, April Sth, comes here
from phenomenally successful run in
Chicago, where it recently received it's
initial production on any stage, and at
once became the decided and emphatic
success of the early theatrical season
in the western metropolis. The COM
pany will produce the piece in this city
will be idcntically the same in personal
and elaborate equipment as in the orig
inal company. The Darkest Hour" is
piece that requires no wherefore as
to it's existence. 1t serves distsnct
and highly commendahle purpose, for
it teaches in the cleverest and most in
terefling way imaginable, the truth of
the old saying, "Love will find way"
The scenic and electrical effects are
said to be the finest ever carried by any
theatrical company. Among those
who assume principal roles in 1.-The
Darkest Hour is Chas. A. Karl
