OUR FINANCIAL CONDITIONS.

In the issue of this paper of
last week We published the
statements of the two National
Banks of this city and perusal
OF these statements will convince
the most skeptical that this
country is in good condition
financially. The statements
shows cash items of deposits
and certificates of deposit
amounting to S39l,375.42, which
is quite a tidy sum for this coun-
~ TO have on hand. 1t also
shows that the banks have sur
plus and undivided profits ofS59,-
256.67, loans to the amount of
$3.50, 69l.6s and plenty of money
in the banks, much more than
the legal requirements.
This condition of things could
not exist if our people in the
country We're not prospecting.
This condition is generally
to our home people but
We want the outside world to
inow that we expect to continue
LONG so.

BRYAN'S BIG MAIL.
Popular Plan of Collecting Funds Is
Responsible.

LINCOLN. Neb., August 27.-The pop
ular-subscription" plan of campaign
adopted by the democrats has swelled Mr..
Bryans mail, which was very large be-
fore the campaign contributions began to
come in to enormous size. Wagon loads
of it are received every day, but only a
small percentage of the letters addressed
to the nominee for President reach his
desk. No human being could take care
of One-fourth of the mail that is received
by the organs every day.
Brother Charlie" Bryan is the man
upon whom falls the task of taking care
of the greater portion of the letters. All
of w. j. Bryan's mail goes first to his
newspaper office, where it is sorted, and
where the greater portion of it is an
swered. Mail that deserves the attention
of the candidate himself Is sent to Fair
view and there. in addition to Mr. Rose.
Mr. Bryan's confidential secretary, force
of stenOgraphers is kept at work answer
ing letters and acknowledging the receipt
of campaign money.
Thousands of democrats throughout the
country seem to prefer to send their offer
ings direct to the nominee instead of to
the national treasurer, Gov. Haskell.
After each installment of mail Is gone
through there Is a great pile of drafts,
checks and money orders. representing
campaign contributions, and these ne
gotiable bits of paper are sent to the
bank twice each day. and when the ac-
count has grown to liberal proportions a
big draft is forwarded to the national
treasurer.

Practical School Hats.

The fact that children's hats for every
day wear should be practical does not
preclude their being attractive and be-
coming In school girls millinery this
fall the medium sized fiat shape is to be a
favorite. this In all Of the darker shades
of brown, blue. gray, green and red. Oc-
casionally the lighter grays. and even
white. will be selected. for these can be
readily cleaned and are, after all. quite
pra ctical They are trimmed with dark
toned ribbons of silk or velvet weave. and
usually in a tone to match the REFER
jacket or long coat.
AS to millinery modes for women. it
seems that the mushroom will always be
popular. at least for several seasons, for
again in the fall this type of hat will be
worm shown in many variations. The
newest conception has. decidedly high
crown with brim Of medium width. and
where the crown is not naturally high it
is made to appear so by the trimmings
that are around 1t. A favorite scheme Of
decoration are swathings of chiffon placed
around a velvet crown, with wreath of
small flowers or single huge blossom.

Direct0ire Bridal Costumes.

Prospective brides. of whom there will

Directoire costumes for bridesmaids ap-

At recent fashionable wedding cele-

tending the bride wore directoire dresses

worn blue taffeta coats laced down the
front with gold cords. The .arge straw
hats Of three of the young women were
wreathed with shaded roses ana tied
under their chins with long ends of tulle,
and they carried directoire sticks to
which were fastened punches Of flowers.
The other two bridesmaids. being very
young misses, wore caps of valenciennes

and Injuries the Hair.

figuring, and one may swim long dis

is because the tight bandage soakS the
water before it reaches the hair line. and
although the salt always penetrates
around the cap the towel will hold it.
Rinse Salt From Hair.
If in spite of all precaution, as some
times happens. the head does become wet
1t should be thoroughly rinsed in warm
fresh water as soon as leaving the surf.
Cold fresh water is not enough. although
IT is better than no rinsing. All bath
houses now have a generous shower of
fresh water that may be used when nee
essary. but as a rule this Is cold. A
'douche Of this will serve until one can
get where there Is water warm enough
to dissolve and dissipate the salt. Soap
is worse than useless to remove it. for
the combination will simply form sticky
mass. Rinsing with plain water must
continue until the hair feels quite slip
perry and "squeaks" when tightly held.
The latter Is a sure indication that it Is
thoroughly cleansed.
Low-necked bathing suits may seem at
tractive to some persons, and undouoted-
~ do. for they are worn occasionally, but
the risk of burning throat and neck is SO
great and so undesirable that it Is diff
cult to see why a woman Is willing SO to
disfgure herself. If she chooses this
style, however. by all means let her rub
the skin to be exposed with cold cream
before going into the water. for it will
prevent a severe burn. Instead of remov-
ing the grease after the salt bath with
water, better wipe it with dry. soft
linen. The application of warm water
after sunburn is likely to increase the
burning RoseWater may be patted on
or pure lemon juice can be applied to cut
the grease. and then the place may be

However healthful and invigOrating sea
bathing may be to the system, 1t may
certainly be harmful to the complexion.
for salt water is one of the most pro-
nounced astringents that can be applied
to a delicate skin Incidentally it will
harden the cuticle about the nails more
quickly than any other such lotion. and
it acts with equal rapidity upon the
hair, for the tresses become stfn and
coarse, and what is even worse, the color
will change If the hair is frequently wet
with salt water.
No woman should ever go into the sea
without having first rubbed her face with
cold cream. This forms an excellent
protection for the complexion, and will
not be unpleasant to see If it is thor
oughly rubbed into the pores. The grease
will neutralize the action of the salt. and
the face will be in much better condition.
Then the cream may be removed with
fresh warm water after the swim. The
nails, too, should be thoroughly covered
with cold cream or they will become I'M
