Six Gored Skirt.

The skirt that gives a panel effect
at the front and at the back is one of
the latest to have appeared and it has
the very great merit Of suiting the
simple costume of street wear and the
dressy one with long skirt equally
WELL. This model can be treated In
either way and also allows a choice
of the Empire or natural waist line so
that 1t becomes adapted to almost all
occasions and to variety of the new
materials known as wool satin and is
trimmed with buttons, but it makes
a charming model for the thinner,
light fabrics of indoor wear, such as
pongee and foulard, crepe de Chine,
crepe meteore and the like, and it
can be trimmed with buttons and
simulated buttonholes, as in this in
stance, or in any way that fancy may
suggest.
The skirt is made with six cores
and with a panel at the front and at
the back. 1t can be closed at either
the front or the back. When made
in Empire style the seams should be
boned from the upper edge to a COM
Portable depth and the upper edge
under-faced, but when cut off at the

Chicago, Sept. 22-The increasing
safety with which the millions Of pas

by the appearance yesterday Of another
line with a clear record for q year.
Official announcement was made by

passengers were carried over its rails
and not one was killed.

passengers carried during the period
mentioned was more than all the rail-
roads in the United States carried in

Statistics show a great number OF
fatalities each year in those states -
the result of accidents to persons pur-
suing their usual duties. thus indicat-
ing that travel is attended with less
hazard than pertains to the every day
vocations Of life.
The double tracking Of the main lines
Of travel, and the operation Of effective
block signal systems are ascribed by
officials Of the road as contributing
materially to the operating efficiency
and the elimination Of the element Of
personal danger to the traveller.
The other roads which have thus
far announced a clear record of this
kind for year include the Pennsyl-
vania, Burlington and Santa Fe.

The Grinnell Letter.

Special to T1meS-Republican.
Grinnell, Sept. 22.-Carl j. Creamer
who graduated last spring from the
high school of this city. has gone TO

study of law in the university.

of a son to them.
Mayor L. D. Kemmerer and City So
licitor S. H. Crosby went to Fort Dodge
10 attend the meeting of the Iowa
League of Municipalities.
AT regularly recurring intervals the
people Of Grinnell have their hopes
raised by the report that the railroad
authorities are to build here new
union depot which has been so great
ly needed for the past ten years and
the demand for which grows more and
more imperative with each passing
year. The need is particularly en-
phasized al each returning opening and
closing of the college when the bag
gage of the students covers the plat
forms in both directions and is exposed
to the storms for a day or more BE-
fore it can all be taken care of by ship
ping it out or drawing it in. Such a
congestion having just passed. the -n-
NOR comes again that some of the rail-
road officials were here and had the
evidence of their own eyes in this mat
ter and that the prospect of an extern
sion to the present depot is now immi-
nent. Even the ordinary traffic of the
two roads occupying the same small
depot shows daily the need of m ore
room and the Commercial Club of the
city has been doing active work in the
way of trying to get these conditi ons
remedied.
Mr. and Mrs. A. B. DeHaan, who
were recently married at Oberlin,
Ohio have been visiting old college
friends in Grinnell, and are now at Mr..
DeHaan's home in Pella. from which
