.Renovating Touches.

DRACTICAL women will be quick to
recognize the possibilities Of tunics,
Jokes, girdles collars, ETC., for remodel
ing and renewing gowns. because really
complete transformations can be made
with their help. Very lovely garnitures
of all sorts are offered, ready to use,
made of jetted nets, embroidered nets
and all similar materials, but it is not
always that remodeling seems to war
rant quite SO much expense. and the MAX
ing of garnitures Of the kind is by no
means a difficult matter, for they can
either be cut from fancy material or
from plain material and enriched with
embroidery or with soutache. or in some
similar manner. and If the embroidery is
Of the heavy effective sort the labor in
volved in even a comparatively elaborate
design Is by no means excessive. So much
depends upon the skill Of the operator
and the taste displayed in any matter
involving change In any garment that
what Is comparatively easy and highly
effective in one case might in another
case prove q dismal failure, but In any
case 1t Is worth the trial.

the best material to use, as It will prove
the most effective If it Is heavily embroid-

it is fastened with little satin loops and
buttons arranged very closely, will help
give a new effect to an old waist. 1t is

INSURGENTS IN NEBRAsFeA Do
NOT MAKE MUCH OF A SHOW
ING AGAINST PRESIDENT TAFT.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 26.--Nebraska
Republicans in convention yesterday,
gave President Taft and his admin.
istration strong endorsement and eff
Hectively blocked all efforts Of a small
band OF insurgent delegates to arouse
sentiment Tor Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette, Of Wisconsin, as a presiden-
tial candidate.
The insurgents lack leader and
we're out generated by Victor Rose:
water and his delegation, from oma-
ha. Before the insurgents could get
chance to introduce resolutions
from the floor, the regulars had rush
ed through a motion providing that
all resolutions should be referred to
a committee, which was given power
to draw up final report.
Chairman A. w. Jefferies, OF
omaha, then named a committee OF
seven members of which five were
strong friends OF Mr.. TAFT and OF
which Mr.. Roosevelt was made
chairman. From this point the pos.
slbilities Of the fight on the floor over
the endorsement of Mr. Taft went
glimmerlng.
Despite their early announcement
that they would not assent to a Taft
endorsement on any conditions, the
insurgents failed to make even a
show of fight or objection when the
platform resolution was finally pre-
sented.
The resolution went through with
whoop by a rising Votei during
which several OF thei Insurgents were
discovered on their feet.
An attempt to have the convention

The Fairmont and Warrington Rail-

become necessary to erect two bridges
over Buffalo creek to accommodate
the passenger traffic that comes to
the road at the point where the sta
tions are to be erected.
The first bridge will be erected at
Jamison No. 8 near Barrackville'
There has been a need for a bridge
here for some time. The passengers
at this point are many and to get to
the car line they have to come to the
county bridge over the creek con-
siderable distance below the mining
town. In the future all that will be
necessary is to go directly from the
mining village to the car line which
will be a very short distance.
The other station will be at Under
wood where the second bridge vii.
span Buffalo creek opposite the works
of the Jamison Coal and Coke Com
pany. This is another place that fur
nishes many passengers for the road.
The bridge will be a great accommo-
dation for the people that want trans
portation over the trolley line.
At both OF these points there will
be modern interurbal1 stations erect
ed. The work is to be started within
a few days.

filed with passengers had passed
through the tunnel, which is the pas

The tunnel is being refined and the

Fortunately there were no fatallt-

Local livery stables sent hacks to
