WOMEN OF HOLLAND.

Dutch Feminine Costumes Are Too
Complex For Words.
The women's costume is a trifle too
complex for verbal description, as
feminine belongings usually are, but
the white lace cap which covers the
head from eyebrows to nape Of neck
and from ear to ear, curving out in
rounded wings on each side of her
cheeks, is always a conspicuous and
inevitable portion of a woman'S attire.
1t may possibly be that on Sunday
this cap is a trihe whittier or sitter or
daintier than on week days, but the
difference is not very apparent.
The ladies assure us there is vast
difference in the quality of the net and
the amount of handiwork employed,
but the lens made no special note of
that. In shape and outline the camera
finds great distinction between these
caps and those of Katwyk or Marker
or Bots lie Due, but between Sunday
and Monday caps in Volendam it re-
cords none whatever. For the rest of
the costume feminine Holland asks

to this fashion rule. The invariable

KERN THINKS WELL
OF NEBRASKA PLATFORM
1t Was Written by William Jen-
nings Bryan.
SOME OF THE PROVISIONS.

indianapolis, Oct. 14-John w.
Kern thinks SO well of the platform
recently adopted by the democrats of
Nebraska that he would like to see the
make use of every plank, except, of
course, those that relate to state and
local issues. 1t would not be neces-
sary, he thinks. for the national con-
vention to go to the trouble of adding
very many more planks, for, TO his
mind, the Nebraska instrument covers
the ground thoroughly.
The Nebraska platform was written
by William Jennings Bryan and the
national leader of the democratic hosts
took the opportunity 70 place before
the people something that they could
ponder over before the time came for
drafting a national platform. Accord
ing to more than one Bryan leader in
Indiana ne used it as a vehicle for the
expression of his own views on natio-
nal affairs.
One of it's planks calls for the send
ing to prison of corporation officials
who violate the law, and another for
income and inheritance tax laws. On
the tariff question it finds fault with a
high protective tariff and demands
that the people shall be taxed only to
the extent of providing enough reven-
ne for the running of the government.
It upho;ds states rights and, in the
control of corporations it is willing
| that the federal government shall have
no more power than is actually dele
gated it in the constitution.

To the Citizens of Richmond and Patrons OF the
Richmond Home Telephone Co.

Unless unforeseen difficult
ties occur during the week, it
is the intention of the Rich
mond Home Telephone Co. to
cut over from its old manual
system to its new automatic
system at midnight the COM
ing Saturday night.
During this week, the new
telephone directories will be
distributed to all the subscrib-
ers within the city limits.
Those without the city limits
are requested to call at the
office of the Company before
the end of the week and Sc
cure their directories or send
someone for them.
During the rebuilding of the
plant all telephones and lines
have been tested several
times, but the final test will be
made during this week from
the central exchange to the
subscriber, and the subscriber
will be requested to call back
to the exchange through the
new automatic instrument.
We hope that all patrons
will assist the inspector in
making this test so as to Sc.
cure as near as possible sat.

soon as they manifest them
selves.
We believe as soon as the
new system is in good working
order the people of Richmond
as well as the officers and
stockholders in the Company,
will be greatly pleased in hav-
ing the most modern and up
to-date telephone plant in the
United States.
The Long Distance TeIe-
phone Companies of Ohio and
Indiana have in the last few
days decided to put into our
new Exchange, a new Long
Distance board to be in har-
mony with our new local Ex-
change. 1t will be several
weeks, however, before the
new toll board can be installed
and until then the old board
will be used. AS soon as the
new toll board is installed and
the office moved over to the
new building, the new building
will be opened to the general
public and a day and evening
set apart for the inspection of
our equipment, which opportu-
nifty the Company hopes the
citizens will take advantage of
as the system is cerainIy a
remarkable work of ingenuity
and mechanical perfection.

al trouble men and all other
means adopted to give the
best possible service under
the circumstances and we find
upon investigation, that other
plants, while rebuilding under
similar circumstances, have
suffered more inconvenience
than here. The difficulties
have been greater and the
cost heavier than the con-
struction of an absolutely new
plant.
While we hope there will be
no trouble with the new sys-
tenn after the cut over, still
we anticipate that there may
be some, for it would be reas-
enable to expect so much new
and complicated machinery
would not work perfectly or
smoothly from the very in
slant. Until each piece OF
machinery is settled in its new
position and each part used
and operated for a short time.

some difficulties. We hope.
therefore, that patrons will
refrain for the first few days
from using the new automatic

The great task of putting
up an absolutely fire-proof
building, the installation of an
entire new automatic equip
ment in the central exchange,
and the building and equipping
of three ub-stations, the con-
struction of a comprehensive
underground system in the
main part of the city, from
the river to Sixteenth street,
and the entire reconstruction
of the overhead system
throughout the city, has been
very much more expensive and
required much more time and
labor than originally anticipat-

done and at the same time

old system, which has entaiIec
