How Trousers Came 10 he Popular.
Trousers came into use for general
wear with the French revolution. The
gentlemen, the supporters of royalty
and sound constitutional principles,
wore breeches. The sans culottes,'
who denounced every one who wore
breeches, finally went beyond their OPP
ponents and wore twice as much cloth
around their legs-ln II word, adopted
the modern trousers and made them
the 5adge of party. Napoleon, who
was too thin ut one period of his life
and too stout ut another to look his
best In small clothes, nevertheless wore
them on state occasions after he had
been crowned emperor. His army was
the firsA16hdt wore trousers, and they
kept progress step by step with the
march of the French leglons.
The French trousers were seen IN
Egypt, In Spain, in Italy, in Germany
In Poland and in Russia, and with
them the neat gaiter. People thought
that the manner In which great con
quering nation clad its legs was the
correct model, and when the trousers
wearers marched over the wearers oil
plgtails and knee breeches at Jena and
Auerstadt a decision was given from
which the world did not care to ap

Hon. Lew Genung proposed toast
to President Roosevelt the other eve-
ming at the Commercial Club banquet
at Council Bluffs. Genung is per-
haps the most prominent democrat OF
the Ninth district. This action OF
Genung is indicative of the feeling of
his party toward the President, feel
ing brought about largely by the
Presidents attitude toward trusts and
railway corporations. We suppose
Roosevelt is less of a party man and
more of an independent than any man
elected to the presidency for half a
century. While believing in the lead
ing principles of the republican party,
he is personally independent. If he
thinks thing ought to be done or q
policy inaugurated, he does not wait
for his party to approve it, but takes
up the work at once. He is a doer OF
things. In this he has caught the
approval of majority of the Ameri-
can people.

WORKING IN HARMONY.
Vanderbilt and Gould No Longer at
 Swords Points.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec That the Vanderbilts have entered into an ar engagement for community of interest with George Gould and the Wabash is becoming more apparent daily. The Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad, the extension of the Vanderbilt line, has it's eastern terminal at Fayette City, Fayette county. The Vanderbilts have secured possession of the BuckanOn & Northern railroad, and it is proposed to extend the Pittsburg & Lake Erie to parallel the Baltimore & Ohio into the Fairmount coal region.
 The Baltimore & Ohio system had control of the Buckanon & Northern system. It was also the intention of MT. Gould to build line into the re- zion which the Baltimore & Ohio rail- road has tapped exclusively, making west. The Wabash, in leaving the field to the Vanderbilts, also in joining with the Vanderbilts for the use of freight tracks on the south side of Pittsburg, proves that the railroad magnates are working in harmony. It is said the Pittsburg & Lake Erie will eventually be extended to the Atlantic coast, thus giving the Vanderbilts a northern and southern line to the Atlantic coast.
 It is said the Baltimore & Ohio rail- road is anxious to keep the Wabash out of the Fairmount coal field, and has decided to assist the Pittsburg & Lake Erie rather than give up part of the freight trade to the Wabash.
