located in bed while sleeping with his

POLITICS FOR THE RIVER i,
Capt. Winans Says Petitions Will New

Play politics" is the advice OF Capt
winans. a veteran river man, TO the
men who are leading the movement
for an appropriation from congress or
SIS. OOO. 900 for a six-foot channel in the
Mississippi from St. Paul to St Louis,
THE people of the Mississippi val
ley" says Capt Winans. will never
get the improvement of the Father of
Waters by meeting and resolving and
sending a petition to congress They
must get il in some other way; and
there is only one other way to get at
il. That course is to play politics.
The residents of the Mississippi val
ley haven't a representative on the
committee on rivers and harbors. al
though Col Dave Henderson of Du-
buque had the naming of them. Not
one, and how do the people expect &c
get something when they haven't any
one to look after their interests and
fight their battles.
There are three men from the mid
die west ON that committee but they
do not care anything for the MISSISSIPPI
pi and its improvement. There's
Adam Bede of Duluth. He's looking
out for the Duluth end of il. Wiscon
sin has member and he's man over
on the great lakes, who has not the in
terest of the Mississippi. What busi-
ness has he to look into the welfare
of the Mississippi? He is on th> great
lakes. and his constituents want him
TO care for their interests and let the
people out here paddle for them
selves. Iowa has no representative.
The Mississippi river has no champion
who will take hold. push and foster her
needs. The other men have every
thing. and they can get more: but out
here we must wait
THAT is the only course that is left
Petitions and meetings will not bring
the desired good. Politics must be
played. The Mississippi valley must
be recognized. The ballots should de-
eide the course to be taken"

Debutante's Costume.

: A soft, white, clirsing goods known
as sicilienne. very popular this year,
Is cleverly used in debutante's cos
tune. The corsage is arranged with
handkerchief yoke and bsrtha,
heavy lace being employed, ana the
tucked sicilienne blouses slightly into
the white silk crush belt of girdle
shape. The goods is tucked on the
shoulders and wherever else the lace
parts to show it. The sleeves also
are tucked to the elbows; the fullness
Is allowed to puff and the lower part
OF the sleeve Is of lace which matches
in kind the bertha and yoke. A far
ing cuff is the finishing feature of the
sleeve. The skirt falls in graceful
folds and shows considerable of a
train. In design the skirt offers a
striking novelty, being built in five
sections, the horizontal tucks con.
cealing the joihings. Each section
has its own tucking which keeps the
skirt in complete harmony with the
tucked waist. The hip yoke is a
shirred puff and the drop skirt has
several fiounces, the upper rufflc be-
ing of chiffon and making a fluffy fin
ish for the pretty skirt. Naturally
nothing heavier than white silk and
chiffon should be allowed to go under
all this daintiness.
