shirred chiffon of the color of the
plain material over white, and the
shallow yoke above it is white lace.
Among the most charming of the
new styles are frocks of soft mater
ials in dainty new colors exploiting
the minute bodice combined with the
panel front. Asperge, which is
beautiful new shade of green looks
well in satin wolfe. A frock for after
noon wear of asperge satin wolfe has
the bodice cut after the pointed eff
fects of the minuet days, but instead
of ending sharp points at the waist
line back and front, the points extend
in narrow panels. The sides of the
skirt are guaged to hang full from the
hips to the floor, the gaugings being
held in here and there with bias folds
of the dress material piped with mar
row folds of black satin. The upper
part of the bodice is cut out to ac-
comodate a guimpe of delicate green
chiffon tucked and edged with bands
of soft black satin. The little yoke
is of bebe crochet lace.
A second gown Of striking is made
in Russo blou silk nuns yelling. The
bodice is guaged about the waistline
where it is attached to the upper part
of the skirt, also gagged. Sleeves are
cut in one with the upper part and
the yoke is simply outlined with very
elegant broidery. The bottom of the
skirt is cut out in deep points, held
in rather closely, but by no means to
the proportions of hobble lines, and
stitched to a deep band of plain satin
A number of very successful frocks
| for dinner and theatre wear are made
over striped and checked silks, while
others, equally derigeur are of thin
striped and checked materials mount
ed over satin in plain colors. A love
ly silk wolfe of smoke-grey tone is
made over ibis pink satin and has
lguimpe and undersleeves of dull satin
trimmed with blue feathers.
In hats there is a host of new shap
es, many of which have wide brims
turning up sharply against the crown
all round, though higher at one point
than at another. This highest point
is very frequently at the back, the
width of the brim lessening toward the
front; and the crown, plain or draped
usually follows the same lines, clop
ing forward toward the back.
AS black is shown upon frocks ant
wraps, white is often introduced up
on the new modes in millinery. This
gives little relief from the prevail
ing note of sombreness without de
tracing from the piquant simplicit!
toward which Dame Fashion has Sc
her heart.
Hats both large and small are thu
correct thing. 1t is not so much
matter of taste as one of occasion
For the tailor-made and general out
door wear the small hat is in demand
while the very large ones are resery
ed for dressy purposes. Many of tn
shapes are made with reference to tn
soft puffs and curls, ETC., which hav

Appointments Held Over
NIX. RYON ASKS FOR
MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT

Mayor Crawford demonstrated at Mon
day nights session of Council that he can
expedite business. for only 1h hours
were consumed in its transaction.
The Mayor has announced that under
no circumstances does he propose to
change any previous appointments, and
that unless new men have been named,
the old incumbents can consider them
selves as Office holders Two vacancies
on the Board Of Health were filled,
lIessrs Wilbur Reed succeeds Seward
Scofeld. and G. Wm. Braun succeeds
himself
The town marshalls are from now on
to receive 30 cents day an dtheir hours
will be from 6 till 10 pm. and their
most important task is to keep the
streets corners clear of loungers. The
marshalls are expected by the Mayor to
give value for value, as their pay is
increased mere than double. Messrs. John
Il. Lake and Jacob Yearicks comprise the
equipment for an orderly town.
Two old sea dogs were there to re-
commend more alarming fire alarm,
Captains Lewis Lake and Geo. Bartlett.
These men favor an expenditure of ap-
proximately So for Norwegian fog
horn that can be heard in the heaviest
weather at sea for distance of four
and five miles The matter received the
attention Of the councilmen, as they and
the Mayor fully recognize the necessity
for IA more alarming symptom of fire
than the present one. EXChief Reinar
said tlat lie Knew the Electric Light
Company wonid agree to blow the largest
whistle that the Borough would purchase,
but as this did not appeal to the coun-
cimen, the question Of a fog horn was
referred to the property committee.
Mr.. Ryon is the new chairman of the
finance committee and he made a worthy
recommendation, one that will entail ad-
ditional labor on the Borough Clerk, but
not without being of great benefit to the
committee His motion TO have the
clerk furnish monthly financial report
was adopted. Thus at the first meeting
night of each mouth the councilmen will
be informed of the balances and uneX-
pended balances, in order to obviate over
expenditure OF any appropriations.
Maurice Snyder was present to give a
few reasons why the Borough should
have a telephone box placed in fire Chief
Fritscl's home. This was referred TO
the property committee.

COMPANY MAKES IMPORTANT PROVISION
Pumping Plant Must be Called Upon By
Phone Operator

The fire element is not a respector of
persons, nor of the most convenient
hour for the Water Company to supply
direct pressure at the street hydranis 5,
but the company does strive to give the
best in the plant which was demonstrat-
ed at the Justice fire last week, when the
local representative soon had the bull by
the horns. He called the pumping sta
tion on the phone and direct pressure
was given the firemep.
The company have learned by eXper
fence that the telephone service has been
at fault when calls were sent to the
pumping plant for dirct pressure at the
time of fires, one instance is especially
recorded the Newell home was
burned. FIremen then asked the tele-
phon operator for connection with the
pumping station and the reply was given
that there was no phone there. The
Water Company is undoubtedly trying
to bring their service up to standard,
and in order to further increase the
efficiency of the hydrants at the time of
fires, instructions have been left at the
telephone exchange to hereafter call the
pumping station at the same time the

prompt work is performed at the former
place there should be water in abundance
by the time the firemen are ready for
work
A thoughtless act which might have
cost the Water Company many dollars,
was done on the morning of the Justice
fire. The Bargaintown pumps were send
ing water through the mains under forced
pressure, when without a warning from
those who were using the fire engine and
line of hose, the streams We're discon-
tinued This placed an undue, severe
and unnecessary strain on the mains,
which wight have burst the pipes. The
Water Company will appreciate the
thoughtfulness of any person in the fut-
! ure who may warn the man at the dis
tant pumps that he can cease the direct
pressure.

Governor Vessey and residents of the
western half of South Dakota have won
out before the State Board of Railroad
Commissioners in their demand for a re-
duction of coal rates to points west of the
Missouri river. The commissioners, after

Mine at Cherry Will
Be UnSealcd This Week

CHERRY. ILL.,, Jan. 9O.-Nearly every
woman in Cherry is drawing her heart
strings tight to undergo the ordeal OF ex-
humation this week. following the prom
ised unsealing tomorrow or Tuesday of the
st. Paul mine, in which more than 300 coal
minars have lain entombed since November
1o, when fire caused the death OF some $50
men. With snowstorm beating over the
prairie and the helmet men not yet arrived
from the University OF Illinois, the pros
poets are that the mine, tightly closed for
two months, will not be unsealed before
Tuesday.
As II is not certain that the fire in the
mine is extinguished nothing definite
towards the recovery of the bodies will be
planned until experts. protected with oxy-
gen helmets, have explored the shaft.
II is thought that about forty bodies
floating on the water In the bottom OF the
mine More than 900 other corpses are said
TO be huddled In the second levsl
