the flames were soon subdued and pre-

Ernie made three-base hit, home

to look over the fall styles.
What kind of shoes do you wear?
If you are particular, you should buy
them at McCabe's.
Hand in hand-the great bargain
carnival at McCabe's and Rock Island's
first great exposition.
The new autumn hats at McCabe's
are so charming that many women
are buying two and three to so with
different costumes.
Ladies' new suits in many styles at
McCabe's are claiming attention from
the women who are most particular
about what they wear
The special demonstration of the
Royal Worcester and Bon Ton corsets
AT McCabe's is attracting the keenest
interest from women who appreciate
the necessity for proper corseting.
The well dressed man cannot be
careless about the style of his shoes
that's one reason why the King DUAL
ity shoes have attained such popularity
with discriminating men. McCabe's
are sole agents.

FadS and Fashions.

Wells to match the autumn hats make lovely
women loveer.
Gloves matching the gown flesh colored
by far the most proper for evening.
Black is a growing favorite and is much seen for
both dress and every day wear.
Some of the autumn jackets are trimmed
with many buttons. Some of them very large.
Close fitting gored skirts the models most
seen, as they necessary for the hpless figure.
The semi-ftting coats very popular and long
sleeves almost certain for late fall and winter.
The fall jackets have plenty of pockets,
wider lapels and the sleeves palmer than for
nerly.
The modified Directoire and Empire evening
gowns are easily occupying first place in the ultra
fashionable displays.
The popularity of the Regis shoe for is
due to the ultra Fashionable models lasting qualities
and moderate prices.
The low hats are very modish, yet the taller
ones do not seem to lose favor, they carry
such abundance of trimming.
Blue is certainly the favorte in fall colors and
about the smartest gowns displayed in the shops
of the rich dark tones of navy
The Regis the R. & G. and the Rengo Belt Cor
sets are in great favor with women who desire the
graceful lines of the hipless figure.
Hats made of heavy Ottoman silk are coming in
to prominence both black and colors. and
agantly trimm ID with bands, feathers, wings or
Ostrich pumes.

same exquisitely grained wood in
making some high-class permanent
furniture for its main parlor, It
builded better than 1t knew for nine

they do mahogany.
During the visit of +. II. Hartman
he requested that samples be sent him
for the consideration of his architects
who are now building his country
home. which will probably be the fin
est residence in America. Last Sat
urday President B. L. Winchell of the
Rock Island system, made a visit to
the club and particularly admired this
same wood, He gave notice to an Of
ficial of the Hartman lines who was
present that If they didn't hurry the
Rock Island would have the first din

wood Of the Pacific northwest-of
