Novelty in Burlap-Like Weave Combinations in Fur
 Beauty Development

Notwithstanding the deserved rep. utation of taffeta silk for cracking, splitting and spotting, no outfit is worthy of the name of being fashion able in which at least three or four gowns of this material are not includ- ed. We have hoped for better things from the many brands of silk with the word Guaranteed" on the selv- age, but the result has always been the same--a worthless gown after a few times wearing.
 But at last we are offered silk that is precipitation proof, and will neither crack nor split, and we are urged to ask at the time of purchase for the bond of the manufacturer, countersigned by the merchant of whom we buy the silk, to reimburse

THE WEDDING FOOL FRIEND

A wedding Friday night in this city had as it's after-play, the kidnapping of the bride. She was hustled into another carria ta apart from her new made husband, driven about town, brought back to her own home at midnight and finally reunited to her husband after hours of doubt and de- lay, when both were semi-hysterical.
 This is monstrous. Scarcely day passes that the newspapers do not re cord how brutal fool friends at we'd dings have trampled the tender send ment of the hour under their swinish feet and used their brutish wit to pre to shame, discomfort, and loathly public notice man and woman at the supreme moment of their mutual love and united lives.
 Even among people of reserve, breeding position, the horseplay that goes on is inconceivable. Tricks are played. Practical jokes are carried out with noisy care and brutal dis regard of a moment sacred to the de parture of young woman from the a,ome of her youth Ind the dear love of her childhood and girl years. Car riages are dedecked, trunks festooned and pranks innumerable are played by young mon and women who look on themselves as ladies and gentlemen, but who are really behaving them selves like loutish boors of a brutal and vulgar fancy.
 III, offensive and noisome as this skylarling is among people of some position, at moment both serious and .beautiful to those whom marriage is reality and the ceremony sacred, it passes belief what is done by those who have never learned manners and whose thoughts f1y to vulgaritv as the sparks fiy upward.

When the kidneys are sick there Is always a warning to tell you of it, and when the kidneys cal. for help there Is no time to lose. Kidney diseases are common and fatal-cause more dea ths ey- cry year than any other human ills. But in nine eases out of ten this Is due to neglect Kidney dis eases are easily contracted, but ! just as easily cured when treat ed properly and in time.
 Common causes of kidney troubles are colds, levers. expo sure, strains on the back. blood poisoning diseases, and indul- gence in stimulants.
 The kidneys are the blood fil- ters. md when they become sick, the blood is soon laden with in- purities. which the kidneys have failed to remove. This causes backpche. stiff. lame and sore muscles, aching Joints. spells of dizziness headaches. rhermatic pains. sleeplessness, nervousness. and ianonor. wank heart and urinary troubles.

Reclamation Service for Nevada, has
recently been In Washington and
reports the satisfactory progress of the
Truckee-Carson reclamation project,
* which he has immediate charge.
This project contemplates the utiliz-
alton of the waters of the Truckee
and Carson rivers for the irrigation Of
about 375,000 acres Of sage brush des-
ert in western Nevada. These lands
will furnish homesteads of about 80
acres each for about $500 families. 1t
is expected that with the addition of
the towns and villages that will natu-
rally spring up in the district, the
population of the state will be in-
creased in the next few years by at
least 10000 people.
Active construction is now in prog
miles long, which is to divert the wat
ers of Truckee river to a large storage
reservoir on the lower Carson river.
There the waters Of the two streams
will be mingled and impounded, and
thence led out upon the plains in the
vicinity of the Carson and Humboldt

day subaltern are as pluckisn as

member story that went the rounds
some years ago of a daring junior

his colonel in fashion that would
not be tolerated to-day. But the colo

with him. He kept unusually late or
rather early hours, so one day an
early parade was ordered unexpected

the colonel rode past the culprit's

Cheerfully unconscious of impend-
ing doom, the latter leaned out of his
bedroom window in the airy gar

time the subaltern stepped out on pa

served that in addition to the failure
alluded to. there are fifty-one other
items not one of which our imports
from Great Britain amounted in value
to as much as $1,000. The aggregate
value of these fifty-one articles
amounted to only s15,763. while our

imbedded thirty-eight feet in the earth

earth the immense animal.
The hair and skin Of the beast are in
a perfect state of preservation, al-
though the flesh is somewhat decom-
posed and the big tusks, which remain
fastened to the skull, are in good con.
dition. It Is estimated that the skele-
ton Is worth $4,000, as there are but
one or two of them in existence in as
good condition as this. The masto-
don was discovered buried in an old
channel well In the zone of almost per
