LINGERIE UNDERWEAR.

Far removed from the shirrs and
gathers-beIts and buttons-of sea-
sons past is thefuffy array of dainty
garments designated lingerie under
wear. In the very elaborate pieces
one looks in vain for anything more
substantial than bit of lace, Or
batiste medallion, on which TO place
responsibility for wear
The favored garment is the com.
bination of corset cover and drawers,
which aids SO materially in dispensing
with all undesirable fullness about the
waist and hips. Many are made in
princess style, with lengthwise trim
mlngs OF insertions to accentuate the
straight Line effect The drawers are
wide-very wide--and slashed almost
to the belt line on either side, with
generous bows of, ribbon forming
junotures at attractive intervals. IN
deed, some OF these garments are made
almost entirely Of -laees, embroideries
and ttbhons, Stimulating to marked
degree the fluffy ballet skirt ur1

particular model which receives from

All kinds Of dainty trimmings and ma

Town Politics

On next Saturday evening the Citi-
zens of Julesburg will meet to put in
nominations men to fill the officies of
Mayor. Three Trustees and Treasurer
for the coming year.
These officies may seem Insignificant
in view of the fact that they pay no
salary, require considerable time and
the men who fill them are bound to be
criticised by those whom they are try
ing to serve and get the proper
filling of these officies mean much
to the growth and prosperity of a
town. These officies should be filled by
men who are liberal and broadminded
but who are not eXtravagant,
We are always too ready to criticise
but often our criticism is unwarranted
on account of lack of informotion and
we should select men for public office
whom we have faith in. whom we be-
lieve will guard the public interests
as their own.
Public Improvements pay and we
want men 10 manage the Towns affairs
who are public spirited, m n who nave
reputation of not expecting the other
fellow to carry all of the load either
finau cially or physically.
While in majority of cases the
Mayor does not have a vote in Council
proceedings. he should be man of ex-
ecutive ability. man who will forget
self and selfish interests in his ardor to
build up the town. A man who will
see that the towns progress is not de-
layed because reforms or improvements
will not meat with someone's private
ideas.
At this writing we can see no reason
why the policy of last year viz: One
Ticket should not be adhered to and
the entire outgoing board viz: Robert
Dye. Mayor; c. F. Parker, c. W.
White and H. c. McNew. Trustees:
and Chas. Petersen, Treasurer; should
not be the unanimous choice of the
people.

DENTISTS AMAZED
 AT OPERATION OF 1 NOTED SPECIALISTS
Surgeon Delves Into JawbOne of Patient Who Watched Him
 With Interest

The principal topic of discussion among local dentists, following the State convention, was the remarkable operation of oral surgery performed by Charles K. Teter. M. D., D. D. S., of Cleveland, O..
 Dr. Teter operating upon a local man, Walling, removed an in1pacted wisdom tooth. The molar had be- come imbedded in the jawbone, and developed abnormally instead of growing in the regular way.
 With the use of nitrous oxide the demonstrator, Dr. Teter, laid bare the patients jawbone, while he perfectly conscious awaited the progress of the operation.
 Walling suffered pain when he re- turned to his normal condition, but not more than he would have suffered had the operation been performed with the old fashioned methods which would have made him unconscious.
 Much disappointment was occasion ed yesterday afternoon when it was learned that Dr. Henry H. Peters, formerly a sculptor, now a notable dentist of w. 71st street, New York city, had gone to New York on an early train. His models failed to ar rive from New York city, and his clinic on orthodontia consequently had to be abandoned. Dr. Peters is one of the radicals of the eclectic school, and his : independent methods have amazed the more conservative mem bers of the angle school of ortho- dOntia

TITANIC

(By Charles N. Braddock.) Rest stalward ship Titanic proud, The mighty sea is now thy shroud, No fault of thine that thou doth sleep Beneath the waters of the deep. But faulty man or cruel fate Has placed thee in thy present state Far below the brimy deep, Thou sleepest we'll thy lasting sleep But what of those that thou didst bear Where are they now? We ask oh
 where
 They dwell beyond this world of care And freed are they from every snare No more shall oceans restless foam Make sad their now most placid home For joy and peace alone they know And ocean now is not their foe, Rest ye who fell asleep that night, So near the looked for happy sight { Of freedoms shore but saw it not But rest for rest is now your lot. We mourn your loss but you are free From dangers of both land and sea. Though you reached not our western
 land You found the shore where all must
 stand.
