SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Grace Castle Injured in her
"Siide for Life"

The people of Mo. Valley
witnessed an accident last night
that caused everyone who saw
it to hold their breath in fear.
Grace Castle was to give an ex-
hlbiton Of a slide for life" A
tower Of ladders Is feet high
was erected and she was to
slide on a wire from the top of
the ladder to the ground. The
wires and ropes had been ex :
amined and pronounced safe
and Miss Castle went to the top
of the ladder and started on her
wild slide. About two thousand
peol Die were watching her in
her . dangerous performance.
After she had slid quite a dis
lance thetop of the ladder broke
off and let her fall a distance
of about twenty five feet to the
ground. sShestruck the ground
on her feet and then fell for
ward on her head. She was
placed on a .stretcher and car
riedainto "H. J. Brookhousers
restaurant where medical as
sistance was called: An exam
ipatio5ip,l T. was "a! made and it was
found that her right instep was
fractured and she. was seriously
bruised and sprained. This
morning she was resting as
easy as could be expected after
such. an experience. 1T was in-
deed. lucky that. the accident
was not more serious than it
was.

The Races.

I The races that close today
have been the best ever
given in this city. Secretary
Tuthill, Pres. James, V. Pres.
Brown and Supt. of tracks Neu-
find have worked hard to see
that everything was carried
out as advertised and they sure
ly have succeeded to the salts
faction of everybody. AS a
starter Mr.. Tuthill is a success
as he allows no foolishness
among the jockeys and when a
race is called he sees that it is
pulled off on time, and any
j )ckey doing any monkey work
is Immediately fined and then
if he don't do as he is told he is
lent to the stables. The races
should have been better patron
lied as they We're as good as
could be seen in Chicago or any
If the large cities. Next year
when the Mo. Valley Jockey
club give their races in this city
we believe they will meet with
better success. The races yes
terday We're very closely con
tested and resulted as follows;
First race five-eighths mile.

That Fountain.

The ladies of the Art Club of
this city after due consideration,
have concluded to erect, in the
city park, and present the
same to the city, a flowing wa
ter fountain. No act of the.
Art Club could be done by them
that will so certainly perpetu-
ate their name as the erection
of public fountain, one that,
will be for the general public.
This will add much to the
beauty and utility Of the fair
grounds, and be- lasting mon
ument to the public spirit and
.liberality Of the Art Club Of
Missouri Valley. A fountain,
ever flowing with pure and
sparkling water will be an OBJ
ject Of pride to the doners, as
lasting as time. We congratu-
late the city on the prospect Of
having a public fountain in tie

Harness Stolen,

Logan Observer says: "Mon
day night sometime after mid
night somebody broke into the
Logan Harness Shop by way of
the back door and stole three
set of harness, a bunch Of breast
straps and perhaps other arti-
cles not yet discovered. The
miscreants were compelled to
light matches to find their way
about and that they were in a
hurry was shown by the fact
that straps were cut to get the
harness d ow n and nails on
which fly nets were hung were
pulled out. The work was done
by local talent as the method by
which entrance was made was
we'll understood and those do
ing the work knew just how the
door fastenings were applied" "
The kids do not seem to pay
a great sight of attention to
the Mayors proclamation re-
garding the firing of fire crack
ers. They had such a celebra-
tion near one of the churches
in town last Sunday night that
one of the congregation had to
go out and shut them off. A
second offense Of the kind will
more than likely result in the
kids going before the mayor
and the parents called on to
pay the fines. By this method
said parents will learn some
thing of the character of their.
boys. which we hope is unknown
to them at present. We would
hate to believe that parents are
aware of the meaness of some
of the kids and are making no
effort at correction. observer.

There are new short coats Of cloth In
white and delicate lines, and one Of these

Even tho serges have fallen into line

trimming details.
While ruff1es and hounces are In evidence
upon a large proportion Of the thin summer
| frOcks, they arc not the rule even In this
province, and some Of the finest lingerie
models have skirts whose length line Il

Valenoiennes framed medallions such a.
we have already described are set In at
intervals around some lingerie skirts,
just above the hem.
Other skirts have lines Of embroidery

the skirt material at intervals around the
bottom In the form Of an X, two bands
crossing each other. Here again . frill

Going back for a moment TO the subject
OF the seasons figured goods, the figured
lingerie stu1s-batistes, HWisses, Tnulls,

lovelier than ever before. Often the figure

and II IL shown not only In the wool and
silk voiles but also in oottons and linens
One especially lovely development OF
the idea was In what the salesman called
a chiffon linen, sStonishngly light and
soft and looking moro like fine wool or
crepe than linen. The material was In
the creamy pink, hardly shrimp, not quite
peach, a tdhe too warm for pastel, that Is
conspicuous among the spring fabrics
and may have q name Of its own, though
each salesman appears 10 have his own
theory a. 10 what It should be called. This
luscious pink surface was checked on by
the lacking thread line and the stun was
the prettest thing on q counter filed high
with attractive linens and cottons.
This same pink was the color chosen
for a particularly dainty and elective
frock Of soft finish tafieta trimmed In bands
Of white open work batiste embroidery
with scalloped edges, Frils OF narrow
valenciennes lace were set under the seal

broideries almost universal-and broad

taheta and the lines Of joining between
taheta and pongee were covered by very
narrow bands Of the blue Glk stitched
at each edge. These bands, Of oourae,
intersected each other between the To-
