CHICAGO, July .31.-With the an

Imperial valley saved, ends, for the
battle ever fought by man with nature.

SOMETHING NEW IN SHOES.
Men Turn With Sigh of Relief From
Pointed Toes to Wide Ones.

After year when pointed shoes in
the ascendancy, the wider toe returned
to its own and will be greeted with
acclaim by the general wearer, al
though the styles of last season were
not extreme enough to cause the dis
discomfort experienced with the same
style shoe eight or nine years ago
The general trend of shoes last season
was for a straight edge on the inside
of the shoe and this holds good with
the new shapes, but the toe is con-
siderably rounder and even the broad
bulldog" lasts will be in considerable
vogue.
AS the shoes will be made wider,
their length VIII be made correspond
ingly shorter and any number of neat
and attractive lasts are being shown
among the early arrivals.
The popular leather for the coming
season will undoubtedly be the patent
colt, as usual, but the dull feathers,
especially of gun metal, will also be
largely worn.
The reaction from the highly polish.
ed shoes to the more subdued shades
last year was the feature of the
season, and will be omnipresent this
year, and the patent feathers will be
utilized more for full dress and semi
dress functions. 1t is claimed by ad-
mirers that the gun metal and I'M
polished feathers are more comfortable
during hot weather than the highly no
lished feathers, although not as dressy,

ovERcoATS IN TAN.
Light and Dark Grays Compete With
Popular Shade.

Climatic conditions are not such in
Omaha as to require the extensive use
of the light overcoat except in the
very early spring, but their use is
proving more popular every year, fol.
lowing closely in the wake of eastern
customs.
The styles this year are being
shown in light and dark tans, whose
utility has been proven, but greater
prominence is given to coats of light
and dark gray fabrics. The collars
are often of velvet, but usually of the
same material as the coat and the use
of the satin facing has been almost
discontinued.
The coats, following the general ten.
dency of suits are of medium length
and conservative styles of workman,
ship. They hang very full, but with
barely perceptble clinging at the hips
in the longer styles.

and comfort is eminently the con-
sideration in all lines of dress, &C.
cordng to the present styles.
Tan shoes will be in greater demand
than during the last few years. as
they had an off year last season, when
they were worn but little. Indications
among retailers point to much larger
sale OF the tan variety and stocks have
been hard to secure on account of the
inability of the makers to supply the
sudden and unexpected demand for
this color OF footgear.

and of the little band of German resi-

In this church the Lutheran Easter
services of the day were held
The Easter services that Mr.. Mol
denhauer recalls We're held in st.
Faul's church, it being the only church
building in this vicinity until 1872.
Rev. ]. w. Kidder held services in
English in Norfolk at the time, but
the German church was the only
church building near the settlement.
1t was to log structure, rough and
plastered with clay, that the German
American citizens of Norfolk went
thirty-seven years ago for their Easter
service. Here Rev. John Heckendorf,
the first pastor of the church, carried
out the same service that on Sunday
was held again in all the Lutheran
churches of the land.
There was no special music, no
church choir in the service of those
first Easter Sundays in Norfolk. The
hymns were sung by The congregation
and no organ strains mingled with the
voices of the people. 1t was the sim
pie service of the church carried out
in true spirit. The Lutheran memo.
rial services of that day were held on
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Today
the services are held on Sunday and
Monday.
The coming of Easter thirty-seven
ears ago was unheraided by millinery
