OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

New York winter is likely to show it
self on the dress suit.
The material for the dress suit af-
fected most this winter by the men
careful of what they wear is an un-

rough surface. Some of the more en-
terprising dressers anxious to try new
models are wearing. a dull black cassi-

though the Sdifference between this
style anQ some of the plain goods is
scarcely noticeable the patterns are
regarded an extreme in taste and have
not generally been adopted.
The tails of the dress coat are this
year longer than they have been in
some time and should end at about
the back of the knee. The lapels are
notched and covered down to the end
with silk. They are broad at the top,
measuring about 249 inches at their
greatest breadth and about one inch
at the bottom of the collar.
The shoulders are only moderately
padded and the coat is kept throughout
free from any lining that might make
II uilWlelON-
A dress coat must fit we'll in to the
waist. However loose the style of
wearing other coats may be, it is con-
sidered the best form to have a dress
coat cut in to the figure.
The tails at the bottom should not be
more than four inches across. The two
buttons on the bottom of the coat are
three inches apart.
A sewed on cuff with three small
buttons with the holes made so that
they really open is the usual finish for
the sleeves. No braid of any kind ap
pears on the coat. although the black
waistcoat is usually finished with the
same braid used along the stripe of
the trousers.
Black waistcoatS are made single
breasted with three or four buttons and
are moderately V shaped. A black
Waistcoat is all but useless, however,

70 Cure Bone PeIIOn.

A Chicago doctor says for the
last fifteen years he has used egg
to cure felon and has yet to see a
case it will not cure. The way to
apply the egg is as follows; Take
fresh egg and crack the shell at
the larger end make a hole just
large enough to admit the thumb
or finger, which ever it may be. and
force it in the egg as far as possi-
bic without rupturing the shell.
Wipe off the egg that runs out and
bind handkerchief or soft cloth
around the finger or thumb, leav-
ing the egg on over night. This
will generally cure in one applica-
ton.

Unable to Withstand the dig
grace that he knew was certain to
follow his exposure, George H.
Simmons, preacher, banker and
politician, of Peoria, Ill, committed
suicide. For two days be had
been the object of an investigation
by States Attorney Scholes, to
whom appalling stories of disgrace
and debauchery had been told.
Realizing what was about to hap
pen, Mr.. Simmons took cyanide Of
potassium after his retirement,
which did the fatal work while he
slept.
The Peoples Savings Bank, of
which Mr.. Simmons was president,
closed it's doors.
He was president also of the
Interstate Savings Bank up to the
day before he died, when his resig-
nation was accepted.

An Endless Rouud.

No sooner does the farmer dis.
pose of one crop of tobacco than
he begins preparing for the next
one. Already he is picking out
suitable place to burn a plant bed
and he has figured to the last yard
just how much canvas it is going
to take to cover that bed. He has
decided what fields the plants are
to be set in and every detail con-
nected with the growth of the crop
has been worked out with exact
ness. Thus man moves always in
circle. From given point in
the circumference of that circle he
starts on his work. When that
work is finished he finds himsslG
back again at the starting point
ready to begin all over again. Ia

times groans under the monotony
of its endless rouds of tasks?

COUNTY UNIT BILL

"County Unit" bill, making the
county the unit in all the local OPP

The fight for such a statute has

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
When the House opened Wednes-
day morning a substitute was of
fered by Representative Klair for
the Young resolution to send a
committee of two members of the
Senate and three of the House to
Breathitt county. This substi-
tute provides that an inquiry be
instituted by the joint committees
to inquire into the truth of tie
reports regarding lawlessness in
Breathitt and to attempt to make
peace between the contending fac
tiOns and report to the General
Assembly. The substitution was
adopted.
The joint resolution to pay the
expenses of the revenue and taxa
tion commission and it's secretary
passed by unanimous vote,
When the Anti-Railroad Pass
bill came up for passage, Repre-
sentative Klair introduced a sub
stitute which kept the House In a
roar of laughter during its read
ing. 1t sought to force airship
lines, railroad, steamship and hot
air lines to give most everybody in
the country transportation under
penalty Of being fined 80 cents in
Mexican money and having the
color of their cars changed. Any
person who refused to accept
transportation or who tries to use
more than one kind of transporta-
tion at once, or who tries to come
and go at the same time, is to be
adjudged insane and sentenced to
the Legislature for two years.
Mr.. Klair, after the reading of
the substitute, stated that he
feared there was serious constr
tutional question involved in his
substitute, and he moved to have
both the substitute and the origi-
nal referred to the committee on
judiciary, but his motion was
beaten. Mr.. Drewry then moved
to lay the substitute on the table,
thus taking the bill with it. This
would have had the effect of kill
ing the bill.
The motion was evidintly not
at first, and on a viva
voce vote the ayes made a good
showing. The scheme to kill the
bill was discovered just in time,
and an aye and no vote was called
for, resulting in the loss of the
motion by vote of as to Al.
The substitute then was defeat
ed by a viva voce vote and the
original bill was put on it's pas
sage.
The roll was called and the
measure carried by a vote of So to
30.
Two reports we're submitted to
the House this morning In the
Daily, Drewry case, the majority
lavoring the setting of the con-
sestee and the majority urging the
declaration that there was no cleo
