The dressing of small girls SO that
they may appear we'll and at the same
time be appropriately and comfortably
attired is an art not attained by ev-
cry mother, hence suggestions along
these lines are always acceptable. A
very fetching little gown is sketched
which is very practical and at the
same time quite easy to make. The
dress is tucked in box-pleat effect in
the style that is so becoming to little
girls, while the guimpe. which is in
Guided in the pattern, is plain and of
different fabric. Shaped yoke bands
and double shoulder straps provide a
pretty decoration for the dress. while
belt affords the modish long wasted

From our newspaper exchanges we
learn of the death of DR.. T. B. Brewer
at the home of his son at Fort Akin
son the past week. He was probably
as well known and as highly thought
of as any travelling physician in this
state. Among the many cities of the
state that he visited was Grand
Rapids where he was highly respected
and well patronized. In our business
and social relations with him for
many years past we had learned to
know him intimately and enjoyed his
monthly visits to our Office. He was
a DEVOTED LaFollette republican and
hoped to see him president of the
United States some day. Travelling
throughout the state as he did he
was always pretty well posted upon
the political situation. His visits
here will be greatly missed not only
by US but by his large number of pat
rons and friends. He has been on the
road continuously for over % years tC
our knowledge. In his death kind
Christian gentleman has gone to his
final reward Peace to his ashes.

JUNE 18th FLAG DAY

Governor Davidson has issued a pro-
clamation declaring that June 10 shall
be legal holiday and De observed as
Flag Day, in conformance with the
plans of the American Flag associd-
tion and it is desirable that every
city should observe the day by the
exhibit of Old Glory on every pos
Sible post and building. While Flag
Day comes so near the Fourth that
much patriotic ebullition is not likely.
yet the anniversary of the selection
of the starry emblem of the nation
should not be forgotten nor neglected.
Our boys and giIlS are susceptible to
outer influences and note quickly any
commission made by their elders. Let
the citizens of this and every other
city show the flag and do it all honor
on the date which is memorable in
the history of the Republic.

Limit Law.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Stephenson voted in the senate yester-
day in favor of the Foraker substitute
to the Elkins resolution, suspending
the penalties of the commodity clause
of the rate law until Jan. |, 1910.
Senator LaFOllette and fourteen
other Rep1 blican. senators, including
| the so-called progreSSiveS, - voted
against the Foraker substitute, The
vote of Senator Stephenson was a pain
full surprise to the Republican mem
bers of the house from Wisconsin.
The Foraker substitute proposed to
amend the commodity clause so that
its provisions should affect only those
coal or other commodity producing
properties acquired since the passage
of the rate law. Inasmuch as the
railroads now control most of the fuel
| mineral lands in the country, the eff
feet OF the Foraker substitute would
have practically nullified the COM
modify clause, the object of which
was to compel the interstate carriers
to go out of the business of producing
and marketing commodities other
than timber and the manufactured
products thereof, in competition with
SlIlppSlS ONSl lllCl1 lllItS.
1t is one of the distinct policies of
the president and one of the policies
of Wisconsin Republicans to break the
railroad monopoly in the fuel supply
of the country. Just why Senator
Stephenson joined the railroad sena-
tors in voting for the undoing of one
of the president policies is not clear.
Questioned concerningiit later by one
of the Wisconsin members, he ex-
planned that he s'didn't understand
it," While this is conceivable, it does
not explain the senators vote on the
currency bill, the tariff, the meat in
spection bill and other matters. He
has opposed Senator LaFollette on
nearly every proposition.
Senator Stephenson spends most of
his time in the companionship of the
SYSTEMS friends in the senate.
They seem to be able to control his
vote even against the advice of his
Wisconsin party friends. Milwaukee

DEATH HORRIBLE
FOR FOUR SAILORS
Cooked by Steam in Small Compart-
ment of Barge en- Lake Mich
iuan

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Four men were
cooked to death in the engine room OF
the steam barge Maggie Marshall of
Manistee, Mich, at a point in midlake
80 miles east of Kenosha Monday
night. The boat. bearing the remains
of the men and an exhausted crew.
was towed into Kenosha yesterday af-
ternoon. Four hours before, three
men. all members of the crew, swan
a mile from the disabled boat through
a heavy sea in order to bear tidings
| of the disaster and get relief. The
dead:
Charles Hick, aged "a, assistant en-
gineer, Marinette. Mich.
Ernest Mickier, aged II, a deck
hand, Manistee, Mich.
Reed Meyers. fireman, aged so, of
Black Lake, Mich.
John Peterson, chief engineer of the
Isteam barge, aged 35 years, of Manis-
tee, Mich.
The men were in a little compart-
ment under the engine room when the
steam pipe burst and the big valve
struck on the top of the trap door
leaving them penned in to await death
in the steam. Mickler was the only
one who had chance to get out of the
steam filled prison, and his body, ter
ribly burned by the steam, lay near an
open window, and cuts on his hands
showed that he had thrust them
through the window in an effort to
save his life. The body of Fireman
Meyers was found lying on the Goa
pile. He looked as if he had died in
/ stantly.
