A Few Suggestions

Cushion covers from handkerchiefs
are not particularly new but something
of a novelty was a pillow intended
for baby's back when seated in its car
rage. It was shaped like a miniature
mattress, with the strip of cloth join
ing top and bottom, was filed with
finest curled hair and covered with
pink satin.
The cushion cover was Of two hand
kerchiefs, daintily embroidered and
edged with very shallow buttonhole
scallops, to which was hand sewn a
rufie of half-inch Valenciennes lace.
The two handkerchiefs were put to-
gether with a band of finest nainsool
beading. through which pink satin rib
bon the same width was threaded, end
ing in bow at one corner. This was
exceedingly sweet, and baby's initials
in embroidery might adorn thecentre OF
one of the handkerchiefs, giving an in
dividuality to the gift, if such it be
intended.
Then a pretty remembrance that mas

use, somehow. and to buy in the store

THE ALSO ?
The New Railroad Story Not En-.
tirely B~aseless.

A new railroad story gains currency
this week to the effect that the North
western, through a we'll known old
time real estate man, is securing title
to the south half of the row of blocks,
of which the...north half has recently
been secured by the Great Northern.
IT there is anything in this there is
very much in it. Shrewd guessers have
long ago arrived at the conclusion that
the Great Northern would not come
down town unless it designed to 60
through town. II the Northwestern
is coming down also, then it is plain
to be seer that the two roads will join
in forcing a way westto the Milwaukee
track going south, and then secure a
right of way jointly along the east
side of the Milwaukee track, the Great
Northern to cross it at the first oppor-
tunity and the Northwestern to follow
it until it's junction is reached. Each
of these roads have valuable right of
way holdings in the eastern part of
the city which could he disposed Of
for more than the right of way through
the western part of the town would

HIDE INSPECTION OFF
How it Came to be Demanded
Along the Northwestern

AT the last session af the legislature
an act authorizing the commissioners
OF a county to appoint a beef and hide
inspector was passed. 1t is a sort of
a local option law, only applying to
counties which adopt it's provisions Ivy
having twenty-five stock raisers petit
ton the board Of county commissions
ers to appoint the sheriff Of such coun-
ty beef and hide inspector. After this
preliminary step has been taken then
then the provisions Of this act become
operative in such county. One pro-
vision Of the act is that no slaughter
ed animal or the hide thereof shall be
offered for sale or shipped out of the
county without being inspected, fur
thur, no railroad shall accept such
meat or hide for shipment unless the
inspectors tag appears plainly there
on. No steps have been taken, or are
likely to be, in this county to make
the law effective here.
The Northwestern road running in
to some county where this law is oper-
alive has come up against it, and Il
cursory examination of the law led
some Official to think the law was gen
eral, hence the order not to receive
hides unless inspected, which of late
has been making trouble along its
line in this county. The officials have
had their attention called to the real
scope of the law, and the order Will
likely be rescinded. Hides are being
taken for shipment in this city.
The State Live Stock commission,
through its secretary, has notified the
county auditor Of the above facts.

that in making this report to his

shouid feel a little personal pride it
Moula be %pardonable. While busy at

more than ordinary financial ability,
HOW well he has met this REQUIRE
ment this report shows.
"hen he took charge of the parish,
something over a year ago, the parish
deot was close to Sl2, 900. During the
year Just passed the current ex-
penses were 1882. This sum includ-
ed s2,l63.50 paid for improvements on
mouse, church and cemetery, furni.

debts of theo parish were reduced TO

Inc Total receipts for the year we're
So,572, while the expenditures were
SS,47l, leaving a cash balance of over
800.
After heextraordinary efforts of the
asst year made by pastor and people,
the financial outlook for the future
should seem, comparatively speaking,
quite rosey. The most of the remain
ing debt has been funded to be paid
~ i've easy annual installments.
The parish has now a e church
and new residence making some very
valuable property. Father Dermody
has tested the mettle of his people
and found them true. After their
last years performances, the difficult
ties ahead must seem trivial.
