DIRECToIRE COAT MODELS
Group of Smart Spring Wraps Are
shown by a Fashionable
Importer.

The handsome Directoire costume Of the
cut was worn at one Of the spring meet
ings OF Lungchamps, and, though by no
means purely Of its period. il is fairly
typical Here the skirt was Of chiffon
broadcloth in the hghtest and supplest
quality and in the shade Of green which
the French call water green. A band Of
taffeta OF the same shade was the only
trimming, all elaboration being reserved
for the coat Of green chiffon taffeta, which
was heavily embroidered in white silk.
-Four handsome enamel buttons orna-
mented the front Of the draped girdle and
beautiful old lace crossed in surplice
fashion inside the revers. The draped
girdle worn outside OF the coat is one OF
the late spring fads and appears not only
upon such models as the one Just de-
scribed, but upon coats of various types,
being usually Of sash or scarf character
rather than soft grdle without ends.

MORE CARS ON ALL LINES
Bridges Wants Better Service
Throughout Entire City on the
Trolley system.

MY intention was to have an ordinance
providing for quicker street car service on
all lines in the city. but Is. Dunn, assist
ant city attorney, who drew up the ordi-
nance for me, specified merely the park
hne because he lives there
This is the explanation given by Lee
Bridges. councilman, for but one street car
line being mentioned in his ordinance pre-
sented to the council Tuesday night re-
quiring cars to be run at intervals OF every
three minutes during the busiest hours of
the day, and at intervals of every six
minutes at other times, even up to the late
hour Of / o'clock in the morning. The
councilman says he will have the ordinance
radically amended, providing 1t is seen in
the meeting Of the committee of the whole
next Monday afternoon that the provision
is liable to pass.
If but one line was TO have been picked
out I would have specified the South Sher-
man avenue or the Fourteenth street line
as that would benefit me personally" says
Bridges, who lives in the Second ward
Better service on the Park line won't do
me any good. If better service is 10 be
installed on one line install It on all lines
I say"
Dunn excuses himself for picking out the
one l'ne on the ground that he is not con-
versGnt with the conditions elsewhere He
says that the Park cars run about every
fifteen minutes, and that is altogether too
far apart. He goes on the theory that a
test better be made Of one line before
bringing the whole system under the pro-
visions of the new ordinance.
The majority Of the councilmen knew
nothing Of the proposed ordinance prior to
its being introduced, but from comment
among the pers Of the aldermanic
board II is wed that the ordinance

the whole costume sometimes toned down
to mere suggestion Of picturesque possibii-
ties. Friends write us Of having seen at
the race tracks round about Paris and in
the various fashionable rendezvous Of that
city many costumes almost purely di-
rectoire. with short-waisted coats cut
sharply away just below the bust in front
and sloping to long tails in the hack. with
collars high at back and sides. with huge
revers and wide cuffs and with scant cling
ing princess skirts slightly draped.
These Of course, are the extremes. but
details from such costumes are introduced
upon models more conservative. For ex-
ample, though the high directoire collar is
too uncomfortable in warm weather to at
tain actual popularity, revers are being
made more and more prominent by the
famous makers.

INDIANA TO HAVE CORN DAY.
shows VIII BE Held in Every County
and Prize Corn Sent TO
Omaha.

Indiana commissioners appointed by the
governor Of that state to provide for ex-
hibits at the National Corn exposition
have notified the association that every
county in the state will observe a corn
show day, Wednesday, November 25, and
the premium corn will be sent TO the great
exposition at Omaha.
The shows will be held under the auspices
at the Purdue university which has in
augurated the movement in that state, and
will have charge Of the exhibits at Omaha
under the direction Of the commissioners.
Another bit Of encouragement dropped
into the corn exposition headquarters
Wednesday, when Governor Coe !. Craw-
ford of South Dakota sent copies Of the
proclamation which he has issued for the
National Corn exposition, calling on the
growers of that state 10 participate and
carry off all the premiums possible
The Omaha office Of the Dempster Mill
and Manufacturing company has notified
the management Of the show that the com
pany will contribute $3.50 in special prem
iums for corn, consisting of gas engine,
wind mills and feed grinders.
Another Omaha implement house has Sc
cured from manufacturers over $4,000 worth
OF special premiums.
This assures the growers that the prem
ium list will run 10 more than $4,000
In addition TO the regular premiums or
fered many bankers in different towns and
cities Of Nebraska are offering TO pay

located, from $40 TO so If they carry away

BUTTER MARKET IN OMAHA
Plans Now Under Way Among Cream
cry Interests.
WOULD RIVAL ELGN MARKET
Thomas Fry f. Appointed Committee
of One by the Commercial Club
10 Confer with Manu-
fncturers.

Plans are being made by the creamery
men Of Omaha for the establishment Of a
''merchandsing" butter market in Omaha
which will employ inspectors and appoint
a price committee which will make the
price for a week, after carefully considering
conditions. as is done on the Elgin market
Thomas Fry, district manager Of A.
Booth & Company, has been appointed a
committee Of one by the Commercial club
to confer with the butter manufacturers
as 10 the advisability Of establishing a
market. Mr.. Fry has not yet submitted
report but it is understood the creamery
men are generally in favor Of organizing
market.
Speaking OF the proposition, J. H. Rush
ton, president Of the Fairmont Creamery
company, which will make 15,OOoOOO pounds
Of butter this year. said
"In a broad way ! believe a butter mar
ket in Omaha. which viii furnish the basis
for selling the high-grade butter Of Ne
braska. Kansas, western Iowa and South
Dakota. to be practical
1T means an organization Of the manu-
facturerB, who viii secure a room in which
to meet and where butter dealers will buy
and sell; the employment Of a secretary,
competent inspectors and a price COMMITTEES.
Omaha Natural Butter Center.
''-co the general public the primary reason
would seem 70 be that market is needed
because Omaha manufactures more butter
n an any other city in the country, but one
Of the primary reasons is that in making
the prices for the week at Elgin the condi-
tions existing in the west cannot be care
fully gone into and they may not always
be the same as in Wisconsin, Illinois, east
ern Iowa and Minnesota.
The price committee at Elgin has given
us very satisfactory prices for a basis for
thel ast -four or SIX years. Before that
they did lot Of funny things and there
was some speculation, but l believe the
prices to be conscientiously made now. The
only thing now Is that Omaha is nearer
the grain dairying interests in the west
ard could probably secure more reliable in
formation and keep closer in touch with
the territory.
SHOULD tho plan succeed, It will be some
time before a vast amount Of butter is sold
on the Omaha market-that is, sold on the
basis Of the prices fixed by the Omaha
COMMITTEES.
''Omaha and Elgin would be merchandis-
ing markets Of the country, while New York
and Chicago would continue TO be the
commission dealers markets"
Other manufacturers are enthusiastic over
the movement and say that IL is sure 10
come at no distant time. Omaha is the
proper place TO make the price of butter
for the transmissouri country and large
part Of Iowa.

The officer was very much in earnest and
as his record on the force is excellent
Chief Dunahue did not consider 1t right
that he should be burdened with hoodoo
Therefore he relieved him Of the badge
'In take it, myself" said the chief
I'm not superstitous and I don't think
this hoodoo will do me any HARM.
The chiefs number is now l3.

OMAHA WOOL RATES LOWEST
Storage Schedules Show Up Best Com
pared with Others.
BANKS OFFER FAVORABLE TERMS
From One Cent TO Three Per Hundred
Pounds Are the Loading, Weigh
ing and Storage Rates
Advanced.

Rates Of storage were announced by the
Omaha Wool and Storage company,
Wednesday, and comparison with the rates
in any other wool market shows that the
Omaha rates are the lowest in the United
States
The first proposition was to make fiat
rate Of cents per 100 pounds per month,
which is the average rate charged in other
warehouses. but some Of the eastern mar
kets, which are anticipating a decline as
a result Of the establishment of wool
houses at Omaha. gave notice Of a sliding
scale Of rates. The matter was taken up
at once with the Omaha company and they
decided to make the lowest schedule Of
rates in the United States.
The following are the rates announced:
Rate. Lbs.
Storage. first month or fraction...3c 100
Storage, succeeding months. or
frhctlon ............ ...........'......-z e ~
lnload.ng .....,...............'..... ~
Weighing and certifying ...........2l9c 100
Arrangements were also completed We'd
nesday for insuring the wool placed in the
Omaha warehouse at the exceptionally low
rate Of 80 cents per 800
Facilities Most Favorable.
The terms offered by the Omaha company
and the inducements extended by the
Omaha banks are the most liberal Of any
in the United States. While the commits
sion houses of Boston have been advancing
from 35 to so per cent Of the value Of the
wool in cash and charging interest until
settlement is made, the Omaha Wool and
Storage company, in a letter to the growers
Of the west, makes the following announce
ment:
Sworn certificates Of weight will be fur
nished. making same negotiable for loans.
Arrangements are being perfected to nego-
tiate loans if desired, covering 60 per cent
Of the value Of your WOOL at a rate of
per cent per annum and l per cent COM
mission.
il has also been announced that the
warehouse company will pay the freight on
all consignmeuts, If desired thus saving
the grower from advancing a cent and en-
abling him to place the wool in storage at
Omaha, simply delivering It at the railroad
station nearest him and mailing the bill Of
lading to the warehouse company.
This makes ii possible for growers TO
come 10 Omaha when the manufacturers
come here to buy, and each grower may
attend to his sales and see that the best
possible price is obtained.
