HERE'S WHAT FASHION
DEGREES FOR MEN.
Trousers Aren't to Lose Their
Crease This Year.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.--Just how the
male population of these United
States must appear as to clothes dur
ing the coming season has been de-
hnitely settled
The fashion was decided on last
night at the last exhibition of the
American style and fashion show. The
coat is to be of fancy goods. 1t has
five buttons, the topmost reaching
well up on the chest 1t is single
breast with soft rolling collar to
give the desired "chesty" effect. Two
buttons adorn the sleeves. From the
tapped" breast pocket saucy little
handkerchief will peep at passersby.
A fedora hat of light shade will be the
browning feature of the outfit, the
trousers will not lose their crease this
season. At least those shown on the
plate do not.

.PREsBYTERIANS END SESSION..
Political Questions Come Up for Some
Discussion.

Emerson, Neb., Sept. 19.-The Mo
brara presbytery closed an interesting
meeting here Out of a membership of
twenty-three were fifteen ministers in
attendance.
Rev l.. C. Porter, formerly of Lau-
rel, but now a Socialist lecturer in
Omaha, delivered an address, which at
tracted considerable attention, on
The Duty of the Presbyterian Church
in the Present Social Crisis" A spe-
cial inquiry in regard to the work and
views of Rev. Mr. Porter was taken,
but after some discussion it was de-
cided to take no action at this time.
All of the sessions were interesting,
but the meeting Wednesday evening
attracted the most attention. The
subject discussed was THE Moral
Trend of Political Parties" Rev. Sam
uel Light spoke eloquently, and
thought the political trend was de-
cidedly for the better. He eulogized
President Roosevelt as being the
greatest Christian statesman of the
age. Rev. V. A. Weir, of Randolph,
discussed more directly the two great
political parties. He thought the
liquor question the great issue, over
| shadowing the trusts, the tariff or
financial problems, and condemned
Roosevelt, Taft and Bryan for not TAX
ing a firm stand for prohibition. Rev
William Hearm made a strong plea
| for home missions. The next meeting
will be held at Stuart, Neb.
The presbytery met Tuesday even
ing with a large attendance. Pres
bvterian brotherhood was organized
with Rev. f. T. Hammond, OF Lynch
as president and Rev. II. G. McClusky
secretary. Rev. Joseph b. Cherry Pm
ID. was received upon his letter from
the Omaha presbytery, and call IRON
the PRESBYTERIAN church of Ponca was
presented to and accepted by him
and ARRANGEMENTS were made for hl'
installation later.
A request was presented by Rev l
c. Osborne, of Wayne, to be sent u
the CONGRESSMAN of this district, ask
ing him TO do what he can to proven
Hon. Joseph G, Canaan from being Sc
Iected as presiding officer of the hous
OF representatives.
e A. D. Holloway presented the matte
