THE HELEN BLAIR
posed to Be That of Carl Nissen,
Drowned at Davenport.

Passengers on the Helen Blair on
the trip up from Muscatine this morn
mig saw the body of a ioater just
above Montpelier. OF course it was
cat of the question for the steamer
TO stop so the body was allowed to
proceed on its way, the probabilities
being that it would be picked up
somewhere during the day.
1t is believed that it is the body of
Carl Nissen, who was drowned in the
Mississippi in west Davenport Monday
night Nissen had been in this
country but five months, having come
here from Germany. He has a brother,
Henry Nissen, living here. They made
their home at Jasper's boarding house,

zenberg, Cap" Gilbert, Ted Meyer
and Frank Meyer. Nissen went down
to the river, as he had often done be-
fore, to go in swimming. His compan-

good swimmer, and therefore they
thought nothing of him venturing out
into deep water Suddenly, however,
he was seized with cramps, and before
his companions could reach him, had
gone down for the last time and his
body was lost sight Of

FADS AND FASHIONS.

FADS AND FASHIONS.
Following the craze for tan foot
wear and almost coincident Herewith,
comes the call for oxblood shoes and
hosiery. The fashion stores are show
ing the color in oxfords. lace and but
ton boots and hosiery of many quail
tiles all to match
The lace or open work stocking re-
tains its popularity with wonderful
tenacity.
The coat and skirt to match is
much preferable for street wear than
a white shirtwaist unless on torrid
days.
A black hat trimmed with black or
white plumes makes a charming effect
for either afternoon or evening with
any light-colored dress.
The abundance of lace for all sorts
of trimmings has never been more
marked than at present.
Polka dots are popular and adorn
nearly everything. The newest are
the large dots.
The popularity Of the all white
gown now is at its height and they are
a decided relief after the long contin-
ued display of so much color.
Some decided novelties are seen in
separate waists and over 5louses,
delightfully."- cool looking waist is made
of dotted muslin and finished in the
popular Dutch neck fashion
Separate skirts are necessity at
all seasons. Must now linen, cotton,
poplin, and many other light materials
are appropriate.
1t seems no longer doubtful that
the Directoire models will dominate
Autumn fashions. Long 6raped sashes
and close-ftting sleeves will be much
in evidence.
Huge bows for the hair are more
popular now than ever. Very wide
ribbon is used, matching the gown or
hosiery.
The ribbon hat is the latest craze of
fashion, which sprung into pronounced
popularity within a week and is ex-
tremely attractive with thin summer
frock.
Gloves, hosiery, shoes and hats to
match are making the summer girl
the most charming personality of the
year.
