A narrow edge of satin or velvet out

the butlonhole finish must be worked

the best, is not thought correct in this
fad.
Checked and plaid effects in cheviot
are for the moment more fashionable
than stripes, although the hair line
of white or lighter color is always in
in style. Most useful and extremely
smart are the cheviot costumes made
upon simple lines as shown in the illus

colorings to choose from. The tans

The modern outfit, whether for sum.
mer or winter, must needs include sncn
number of different gowns that the
ingenuity of dressu ahers and designers
is severely taxed devising new styles.
Fortunately, fashion now permits the
wearing of all sorts of fabrics at any
gowns and wraps were considered suit
able if the day was cold. Now ma
terials once only thought possible for
midsummer wear are made up for WIZ
ter not only for evening. but for after
noon and theatre wear
1t takes an experienced eye indeed,
to discover whether the gown is sum

two styles resemble each other and

there would really be no difference be-

perhaps a shade more warmth to them.
White batiste would seem to be EN-
phatically a summer fabric. but ii is
used in tea gowns and house gowns
this winter. White mcIsseline de sole

of white yelling are all practical for
any season These fabrics are charm

that gives the gown marked individ-
uality which the accordion pleated
skirts 40 not possess. In putting cn
the flounces care is necessary that
they shall be so arranged as to give the
effect of horizontal line higher at the
back than in front, but not in the eX-
aggerated straight front line of last
year. There are some women to
whom flounced skirts are so unbeccm.
ing that the fashion is an impossible
one unless these lines are carefully
studied. Even then they sometimes
look so badly that it is better to take
q simpler design and flounce, shaped
wider at the bac!. than in front.
Difficult to RemoeeI Last Years Gowns
Only in the autumn it was said that
there would not be any marked change
from last years styles, but as time
goes on it is evident the assertion
was a little premature. There are
many points of different. though last
years gowns can be remodled. Not
without considerable trouble and ex-
pense, however, for the newest designs
show a most radical change as regards
skirts and sleeves. The general CT

such as are intended for afternoon or
evening wear The velvet elastic belts
fastened with narrow fancy buckles,
are also worn with the cheviot gowns,
and these are invariably of black. no
colored narrow belt being considered
permissible.
Black lace gowns, made up over
white, are again to be fashionable this
winter, and may be either plain cr
flounced in the skirts. Lace flounces
and lace Shawls show off to greatest ad'
vantage in these designs, but, oddly
enough, the much less expensive laces
known as lover design are more fash
ionable, especially if intended for thea
ter gowns. The favorite model, or
rather the favorite models, are shown
in the illustration. The flcunced skirt,
with each flounce finished by bias
band of figured satin or taffeta, or
made entirely Of plain velvet or satin,
embroidered with pailettes, is very
good style. Lace flounces do not admit
of trimming. While to lovers OF conser
vative dress the beauty of the lace is
apparent at glance, to the maJ~rly
the far less costly trimmed lace is IN
finitely more desirable.

PREPARATIONS are being made for
the trial OF the important case brought
by the railroad companies of Michigan
10 annul the assessment of their pro-
perties on an ad valorem basis. The
railway companies not only attack the
validity of the assessment, but they
claim that the law under which the
assessment was made is void, and,
moreover, that the provision of the
state constitution itself which gives
the Legislature power to provide for
ad valorem taxation, is in conflict
with the federal constitution and can
not stand.
The triumph Of their contention
would re-establish the specific tax
system under which the legislature
prescribed the rate OF taxation on
earnings which the railroads should
bear.
Great care has been taken in the
preparation of the case for trial, and
several of the most prominent attorneys
Of the state are employed. both by the
railroads and on behalf OF the state
The state will be represented by ex-
Attorney General Oren. Congressman

Office assistants, while the railroads

Expert appraisers from the state un-
iversity have been employed on behalf
os the state, and the railroads have
engineers Of equal ability. The rail-
road companies and the state will each
have three months to submit evidence.
The fret witnesses will be sworn
soon after Sept. 20. The testimony
will be submitted to Judge VANITY, of
the United States district court ut
Grand Rapids. and the case will be
appealed to the United States supreme
court or final decisions regardless OF
the result in the lower court.
While the state is defending in the
federal courts the validity of the rail
road assessment the states attorneys
are preparing to try in the state courts
the $12. 600, 600 damage case brought
by the Michigan Central Railroad com

ANNOUNCEMENT.

With this issue change takes place
in newspaper circles in this city which,
we hope. will be for the best interest
Of those in the business and the public
as well. The plant and business OF
The Peoples Mail.has been amalgamat-
ed with that Of The Diamond Drill and
the paper will be issued as The Dia-
mond Drill and The Peoples Mail
The reason for this change is the
mutual recognition OF the fact that
there is not field in Crystal Falls for
two good newspapers.
The Peoples Mail was launched
about two years ago. The founder
had the opipion that there was a field
here for two papers. We held then
that there was not but 1t took ex-
perience 10 convince our contemporary
that his views were wrong. Shortly
afterwards the paper passed to the
Arm of Behan & Widstrand who con-
tinued is publication until last Tues
day. The boys got out good paper
Their going out Of business is due to
business reasons and not because they
were unable to put out first class
journal, for The People Mail has
been such from the first issue. We
found them courteous competitors and
they quit the field with the XII ndliest
feeling.
To the people OF Crystal Falls we
feel very much indebted for the sup
port we have received throughout the
competitive period. We feel that we
were used exceptionally well by all
and shall endeaver to be as loyal to our
peolpe with clear field as when there
was competition.
We believe that the adjustment OF
the newspaper business to the proper
plane will be good thing for our
people who were asked to support two
Journals when their convictions were
that one was sufficient We shall try
to make the one raper the equal Of any
in the peninsula
The subscriptions paid in advance
ON The Peoples Mail will be credited
on The Diamond Drill and in case OF
conflict credit on account will he giver
for any such subscription.
Once more thanking our friends we
ore.
