GROWING FAST
The South Dakota Town On the
Edge of Rosebud Reservation.
from n Village of Three Hundred,
t. n City of Three Thousand in
Less THAI a Month.

Omaha, Neb., May 22.-Tbe town OF
Bonesteel, in Gregory county, S. D., has
grown in less than a month from a vii
lage of 300 to a city of 5000. Bone
steel is located at the edge of the Rose
bud reservation, which the government
is preparing to open to homesteaders,
and is the terminus of the Chicago &
Northwestern railway.
John A. Kuhn, assistant freight and
passenger agent for the Northwestern
railway, has just returned from the
reservation and reports that Bonesteel
is crowded with people awaiting the
opening of the now homes. He said
that his road was being taxed to its
capacity to care for the suddenly in
creased business as a result of the act
Of congress opening the reservation. A
large number of people are already go
ing over the new territory with locat-
ing parties, and all have headquarters
in the new city.
The government has taken steps to
prevent anybody securing advantage,
and will dispose Of the 416,0 900 acres by
lot. A registration Office will be opened
at Bonesteel in a short time for record
ing the names Of those who wish to
participate in the drawing.

FRESH FEMININE FINERY.

Old English embroidery is tokave ar
all-summer run.
Hyacinthine blue looks well on both
blondes and brunettes.
Some Of the new jackets have two grad
uated tucks up the back.
Very many evening dresses have long
sleeves, full at the elbow.
Silk lace grenadines in lovely colora
are the most attractive Of new fabrics.
The most gorgeous plume of all is I'll
red one side the quill and all creamy yell
low the other.
Coats to the linen and pique costumes
vary from the three-quarter Norfolk ia
the very short eton.
It's a comfort to know that walking
skirts at least will be exempt from the
craze for skirt fullness.
Delightful 1880 possibilities hover in
those soft mulls, lawns and o~rgandies. of
which the shops are full.
A new trimming is a braid which is
made of punched velvet with satin rib
bons run through the openings.
Evening gowns do not have the lace
railing far enough down to interfere
with the movements of the hand.
