studs. or even pretty buttons, beine a sufficient finish.
 Linen, madras and lawn are the best materials for a severe style of bodice Dfnlify also makes most attractive blouses for warm weather A deep blue or old rose linen waist made simp- ly with attached white collar and cuffs is extremely stylish with a dark pep per and salt costume. The trimming on the walking hat may carry out the same color. White. with just narrow stripe of black is also attractive. and. for light mourning. black cloth suit and black and white striped waist are infinitely more effective than an all white bodice.
 Long sleeves are alone approprfate for the tailor-made b1ouses. The cuffs may be elbow length or shorter. but with the long cuffs on dark linen bodices separate white lingerie cuffs should be added at the wrists. Narrow cuffs of the regulation three or four inch width, finished with a soft friif or plain with jewel cuff links. are really most appropriate with the se- were waists. For tennis and general morning wear this style of sleeve will be infinitely more comfortable for some time. The plain bfouses with their studs and seperate collar and cuffs are unquestionably more compli- cated to carry out, but they are apt to look trim and fashionable much Ion- ger than the thin lingerie blouses, and, too. they give far more satisfactory wear, so that they bring their own compeusatious

KaIser Defends Theatre. l.

The Kaiser is supporting a Berlin theatre manager against newspaper criticism and demonstrating again his pronounced antipathy to all news papers.
 Herr Friederich Bonn, formerly a popular actor, is now managing the Berlin Theatre, but the newspapers have unanimously condemned his pro- auctions and management and Bonn has replied by declaring war on the newspapers, editors critics and all.
 Recently the Kaiser was present at a performance of The Hound of the Baskervilles," a version of Conan Doyle's story by Bonn himself. and into which he has worked yelled at tacks on the press.
 Calling Herr Bonn into his box, af- ter the performance, the Emperor said to him, after warmly praising the play T admire in particular the courage with which you have dared to express certain truths in this play, and I now fully understand what op- position you have been obliged to overcome here"
 Notwithstanding the Kaiser's favor ing Herr Bonn. the papers maintain that what he presents at the Beriiner Theatre are the highest forms of dramatic art.

New York. March 90. lspecial,--r Is to be a season of stripes. Every fabric from the sheerest chiffons and nets to heavy clothes shows this inf1u- ence. and some Of the most stylish and striking costumes to be seen this Spring, if not entirely of striped stuffs. have them either in the trimming or as separate part of the gown.
 Still, lawns and ginghams are strip ed in the most attractive guides. The tiny pin stripe is a reigning favorites though a close second are the broader stripes at intervals of varying width from half an inch to two or three inches apart For the woman who, by reason Of too much or too little flesh. must rigidly eschew a boldly striped gown there are broken ard blended lines that are noticeabiy trying, yet are a change from perfectly plain fab rics and permit a pleasant variety in ones clothes.
 All white costumes are always smart but this year the striped ones are the fad White with a hair line of black or dark blue, made with facings of black on collar and cuffs. is a fla vorite pattern. and there is an endless variety in the width of the stripe. Tn dark colors the hair line of darker

 Bryan To Speak at Capital.
 On the 14th of next month William !. Bryan will be- the star speaker here at q Lincoln memorial meeting which is to be held in the Columbia Theatre under the auspices of the Union Vet eran Legion. Indications are the play house will not only be packed to suf- location. but from the rush for tickets thousands will be unable to gain ad- mission
 When Mir. Bryan arrives he win doubtless be piled with fresh questions regarding his intentions next year as to being the candidate of his party. He has repeatedly stated this year he is not now a candidate for any office.
 There was recently organized in this city a Bryan Democratic Club Its ob- ject is to further the interests of the Nebraskan for the nomination next year The officers of the club confi- dently expect to have an enrolled membership before the close of the year of not less than 1,v0e.
 Of course. people do not vote in the District of Columbia, but the men be- hind the organization assert that they wish to make this club a power for the influence it will have on the near by States; and even If their favorite Is not nominated in 1908 they wish to have a strong Democratic organization which will be able to help the ticket, no matter who may be selected as the candidates of the party. One good sign about this movement is that a great many men who have heretofore been Republicans are joining the club They say 1t is because they admire Mir. Bryan personally, and having come to the conclusion that President Roose- welt will not run again they wish to get in line with what they call the reform" element as contra-distin- guished from the corporation crowd they think will try to nominate on the Republican ticket men who will not carry out the policies of the present administration.
 Taken all in all there is surely 6 very early movement to influence the nominations to be made next year by the two leading parties.

Imnrovinr thn wireIeaa

A Danish inventor, valdemar Poul- sen, is perfecting a new wireless tel egrapb system which he claims will make possible direct messages be- tween Europe and America.
 He declares that in the course of his experiments he has. already com municated with America. Mir. Poulsen is keeping his experiments secret be- cause of rivalry and to defeat the efforts of a German company to learn his principles.
 He will tell this much, however, that his system is based on singing" elec- tric waves. which he says have absc- lutely inexhaustible power, and carry the energy around the world. It Is then for this reason 8 great improve ment on the spark telegraph system, which loses energy over long distan- ces.
 Mir. Poulsen has erected a station at LIyngby, a small town five miles north of Copenhagen. In few weeks he hopes to have a station in Canada, and he will then commence regular com munication across the Atlantic.
 He commenced his experiments over a distance of forty miles. This he in- creased to 196 miles and again to sSO and 760 miles with success every time. Now he declares he has communica- ted satisfactorily over a distance even greater than that between Denmark and America.

aneen VIII Nar.e Baby.


 Queen Victoria of Spain has caused the greatest consternation at her royal husbands exceedingly straight laced court by her threat to defy the rigid Spanish royal traditions and nurse her own baby whose arrival may now be expected any day.
 Every Royal Spanish baby has hith- erto derived it's early sustenance from an "ama" usually a healthy peasant woman from some remote village.
 Queen Victoria's doctor says, how ever, that she is more than strong enough to follow the example of all the English queens and princesses who have been mothers and feed the ex pected baby in the natural way and her husband is delighted with the idea.
 If the queen carries out her inten- tion the services of the ''ama" will be dispensed with except that she will be engaged to carry the infant out for airings and wear a gorgeous na- tional costume. but the ladies of the court are mortified at the idea of a queen nursing her own baby like any ordinary woman, 1t is bad enough that she has to give birth to them in per- son.
 Nature is entirely too democratic &C., cording to Spanish ideas.

Emperor william is Careful to Guard Against the souvenir Hunters-- Dresden Has . Young Prince of the Realm at work as clerk in Bank
nY wALrn nunKrRK

Berlin, March so. IA quaint satire on Kaiser worship was the cause of a. libel action against the Frankische Tagespot of Nuremberg, a socialist paper.
 The paper printed a paragraph to the effect that the Kaiser's train stopped for fifteen minutes at a country depot for his majesty to get shaved and ad- ded that there was afterwards 6 scramble for the father scraped off the Imperial chin, the members of the local Military Veterans Association besieging the barber for soapy souv- enirs.
 The Veterans brought an action against the editor for this insulting" paragraph, and he was fined after an amusing case which made even the judge laugh.
 The kaiser dislikes the souvenir hunter and always checks his rapacity if he can, as he showed the other day when he visited the studio of Herr Heinrich Baucke, the sculptor, who made the statue of William III which the kaiser is presenting to the Eng fish nation.
 Emperor William spent forty-five minutes In the studio criticising and making suggestions. In the course of explaining his views he made some sketches of the starue with all the details of costume. Before leaving the studio, however. he carefully col- lected all his sketches and notes and took them away with him, explaining to the artist that he was afraid they might fall into the hands of some souvenir fiend.

Cabwomen in BerIIn .

Berlin Is following Paris in the matter of female cab drivers, and the German capital can now boast of its first chauffeuse.
 This is not, surprising when one re- members that feminism is far more advanced in Germany than in France.
 The new chauffeuse who is of gentle birth, lost her husband, a distinguish ed lawyer, some time ago and has been taking lessons from an automo- bile expert in the arts of motor con- struction and driving. She has now passed all the examinations required by the police and there are signs that

The Poor Rich Girl.


 The ''unfortunats rich girl" was the theme of a lecture delivered here by Dr. Leasing of the University of Goettingen.
 The lot of the rich girl" Dr. Les sing said. "is a tragic one. She suf- fers under her wealth In the ciTcum- stance that she is regarded merely as an heiress."
 "A rich woman is the most coveted article in the marriage market. What we call love. in her case becomes sen- suaIity; what we call marriage Is in her case business interest. Marriages for money have become recognized custom, to the great disadvantage of the race"
 The salvation of the rich girl, it was agreed in q discussion after the lecture, is in her working for and taking an interest In the lives of her poorer sisters. The audience among were the Empress and many ladies of the highest aristocracy, thought pr. Lessing right in commits erating with the rich girl in general, and wondered whether he had the conspicuous case of the million aire Countess, the former Bertha Krupp, fin his mind.

LID FOR NEW ULM TOWN
Massmeeting Held At Which Matter
Was Discussed.

3 New Ulm. July 9.-The ministers of
the different Protestant churches in this
city arranged and held mass meeting
at the Congregational church Sunday
evening. Mayor Slverson and other
prominent people of the city were in
vited and the church was packed with
people. The Sunday closing law was
fully discussed, the ministers contending
that the saloons were the cause of a
great deal of poverty and distress, es-
pecially when the head of the family
dissipated his weeks earnings in the sa-
loon, and felt that now was the time
for the mayor of the city to assist them
in doing away with this, evil. They
felt that the saloonkeeper and the pa
tron owed it to their families and the
church to obey the Sabbath like all
awabiding citizens.
They were followed by DIR. 0. c..
Strickler and Attorney Henry III. Flor,
who spoke on the proposition. The form
er counseled moderation and the later
believed that i'll order to do away with
some of the abuses in the saloon bust
ness it could not be accomplished by
closing the saloons on Sunday, but by
the enforcement of the law now in force
in preventing drunkards from securing
liquor.
In discussing the question the min
listers not alone spoke in favor of the
Sunday closing law, but advocated pro
hibition.
Mayor Silverson said that he was full
ly aware what the law was relative to
Sunday closing and stated that If he
had sole power in the matter he would
never close saloons on Sunday. He did
not believe in the principal of the Sun
day closing law. Inasmuch as the law
was plain and definite he assured them
that it would be enforced, but did not
say when he would give the order. 1t
was clearly evident from what he said
that the custom which had been i'll
vogue here for fifty years should be
done away with with as little shock as
possible, and it was the general opinion
that the worked up sentiment and the
various phases surrounding the Sunday
closing law would leave no further al
tentative than the application of the
Sunday lid.
Mayor Silverson intimated that dur
ing the coming month. orders would
undoubtedly be issued closing the sa-
looms on Sunday. He fully realized
that there is no alternative, and that
other towns who have had the lid APP
Piled in Brown county are strongly
agitating the matter.

cent, on the New York Central and
Boston and Albany roads in the last
year, while the, amount of freight
handled rose thirty-six per cent. on the
former road and fifty-three per cent
on the latter.
This is not rare case. Many such
promotions have been made of men
who entered the services of corpora
tions when they We're boys and attend
ed strictly to business, making them
selves useful and above all, ''they were
not looking at the clock" continuously,
hoping for the hour to come when
their days work should cease. The
writer has in mind the name of prom
inent railroad official who began his
career under circumstances similar to
those related of Mr.. Mitchell Our ac-
quaintance with this man began at an
old tumble down school house years
ago. The boy quit school to work for
a railroad company at small salary.
He made good" in every capacity and
is now occupying a position that is
responsible and carries with it a large
salary. His promotion came as a re-
ward for labor we'll and faithfully per-
formed.

JUMPED TRAIN; RECAPTURED
Nick Rose, Supposed Horsethief
Suicides at Albert Lea.

FROM odtuiuay 5 Ddlly.
Nick Rose, a prisoner in charge OF
Deputy Sheriff Harper of Belle Fourche
S. d., escaped near Adrian few days
ago, jumping from moving train. He
was later captured at Albert Lea. Rose
was convicted of horsestealing.
A dispatch from Albert Lea says:
Late developments 90 to prove without
a doubt that the man who committed
suicide in the county Jail Wednesday
night, was Nick Rose, the Black Hills
horsethief who escaped from the officers
on train while being taken to the peni-
Tertiary at Sioux Falls, S. d.
Rose confessed to fellow prisoner be-
fore he took his own life. He said he
was sentenced to the states prison of
South Dakota, for three or four years,
and that there were many indictments
against him.
Rose declared that a three years term
did not scare him, but the other charges
would send him to Jail for life.
A heavy reward was offered for his
apprehension and arrest, but Sheriff
Subby, who captured him, has not yet
heard from the South Dakota authorit-
les.
Nick Rose, alias Joe Russell, was
about forty years of age and he looked
the character he depicted himself.

Mrs. Paulina L. Hawkins Death Was
Unexpected.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Mrs. Paulina L. Hawkins. an old res
ident of Mcpherson, well known in the
southeastern part of the county for her
lOvable disposition and estimable char
acter, died unexpectedly yesterday while
visiting her sister, Mrs. Weston, near
Wadena. She left home ten days ago,
expecting to visit relatives at several
places and be gone some weeks. Tie
particulars of her sickness have not been
learned, but telegram announcing her
death was received by her niece, Mrs.
w. Z. Edwards, yesterday. She was
sick but two or three days.
Mrs. Hawkins was about sixty-f five
years of age, and her husband died a
short time ago. She is survived by two
sons, James and Dudley, and by three
brothers, Smith Hill of this city, r. c.
Hill of Oregon, and brother in New
York state. Her home life was beauti-
full, and all speak in the highest terms
of her, and her death is deplored After
life spent with active toll, she was
at last in a position to take things
easier.
The sons, who were summoned day
or two ago, started this morning with
the remains.
! Dudley Hawkins returned last night,
and reports that his mothers death was
due to heart trouble. The remains will
arrive tonight, and funeral services will

placed on file, and that the matter be
referred to the proper committee, to see
what it. can do to repair the roof and
let the matter of new roof 90 until
another year, for to properly fix the
roof would mean 81 900 borrowed at the
! banks for a year This was carried.
Mrs. Smith said that if the roof can
be repaired nit would be all right, but
that IT 1T remains so that the building
gets soaked in some storm it might cost
great deal more to repair the damage
to the walls than new roof would
cost.
Superintendent Mcconnell presented
his annual requisition for supplies,
amounting to about 5000, including 5000
for supplementary reading. The total is
about the same as last year.
DIR. Holbrook moved that Mr. Neon
nell be instructed to advertise for bids
for furnishing the supplies, and that the
school committee be authorized to pur
chase the supplies, and this was car
ried.
Mrs. Smith moved that the work of
preparing the additional manual train
ing room be done under the direction
of the chairman of the committee on
property and expense, and that the
work be done by the day, and this was
carried. She also moved that the mat
ter of heating the room be referred to
the committee on property and expense
with power to act, and this was car
Tied.
The bills were allowed.
DIR. Holbrook brought up the matter
OF getting bids for painting the roofs
of the high school and West. Mankato
buildings and outside woodwork of the
Franklin, and on motion of Mrs. Smith
he was authorized to advertise, with
power to act.
Louis Bishman having declined to
serve as judge of election in the first
precinct, Henry Hillesheim was appoint
ed in his place.
