Deadwood, S. u. Spring work ON
the Chicago a Northwestern railway
in the Black Hills is NON active and
the company is today spending more
money in new construction in this
section than for some years past.
Last month ii commenced grading
for its long expected and much de
sired new depot at Sturgis. Back in
the eighties when the company went
through Stur&is, a difficulty arose
over the right OF Way price and sta
ton site. The company and the prop
erty owners were unable to agree ON
terms, the former holding that the
owners of the site selected asked on
horbitant figures. The result was a
depot over a milo from town. which
has stood ever since to the great i'm
convenience of Sturgis. \. year ago
a G site Was selected Within d
quarter of Il mile of the residence
section and the new depot ordered.
Tho grading for this is now com
plcted and before the summc is over
the company will have a fine modern
depot costing about $4,000. The Old
depot is to be used for freight pur-
poses.
At Rapid City tho company has Sc
lectcd a site for its new depot and
has Just commenced grading. Here
also Il modern structure viii be erect
ed and il is hoped TO have il ready by
October. 1t Will cost about $4,000

 Sadie View pranced home with two heats and the race in the three-y year old trot She did not extend herself in the first heat at all, but kept easily ahead of Oh Look and Rosa Lee. Her time was 2:3712.

MOTHERS CONGRESS
 FAvORS LOPER IDEA
Local Educators Idea to Teach Sex Hygiene In Parent Teachers
 Association Approved

An undercurrent of triumph that could not be suppressed was percept- ible at the headquarters of the Ari- zona Congress of Mothers yesterday.
 The interview published exclusively in Tuesday mornings Republican in which John D. Loper, superintendent of schools. paid the parent teachers associations a glowing tribute.
 Superintendent Loper declared that sex hygiene could be taught in the home through the parent teacher as sociatiOns better than in the schools.
 Mrs. J. C. Norton, president of the congress. with which the various parent teacher associations through out the state are affiliated, declared that Mir. Lopers appreciation would give the members of the circles an impetus to carry on their work.
 The mothers who are to teach their children should be instructed by experts at the circles meetings. This will be much more beneficial ! than having such a delicate sub iect handled in a haphazard fash ion.'

PRINTS FOR THE NURSERY
Attractive Characterization that the
Average Household Is Well Able
to Afford.

Fascinating prints for the walls of
the day nursery come in attractive
frames and are not too expensive for
the average mother to avoid
Nature prints, as the colored photo
graphs from nature are called, repre-
sent open air scenes at all seasons OF
the year. They are in dainty frames
of black or circassian walnut and sus-
pended by gold tinsel cords.
Prints on papier-mache from pic
lures by the old masters, make attrac-
tive decorations for the nursery and
interest little folks because of the
biblical subjects which they repre-
sent. Most of them are framed in
passepartout and are really inexpen-
sive.
Framed in brass and covered with
isinglass are hosts of charming little
prints by various famous modern art
lists, whose theme is child life. or
glass and hammered copper are pas
separtout frames for impressionist col
or scenes, chiefly of the Orient, and of
character likely to interest ju-
veniles.

JEWEL FADS ARE NUMEROUS
Watch 6racelet Mounted on Narrow
Black Rlbbon-Seed Pearls to
Ornament the Jabot.

The new watch bracelet is mounted
on narrow black moire ribbon, hold
ing on the arm very fiat watch,
either square. concave or oblong in
shape, made in platinum and encircled
with diamonds. Instead of the black
velvet ribbon, colored ribbon may
be worn, or else a band made of very
tiny seed pearls, says a Paris cor
respondent.
Then again. there is a jabot made
by clever employment of seed pearls
mounted so as to initiate the delicate
tracery of lace. The gold bags are of
very fine supple mesh and fashioned
with gold of different shades. The
meshes are often placed in different
ways SO as to initiate the iridescence
of silk and moire. The chain to which
the bag is fastened may be replaced
by thick silk cord the same color as
the gold, and on which are jeweled
slides with stones to match those in
troduced in the mounting. One very
pretty purse may be noted. It is in
platinum. with black and white stripes
alternating with bands of little seed
pearls.

The Los Angeles Liberator contains
a glowing account of the activity now
being displayed by well-to-do negroes
out there in the matter of building
business houses for negroes. 1t mem
tions one man who will invest $4,000
along this line. The colored people
in that city are the best housed of
any negroes in a city of like size in
the United States. They are gradual
ly awaking to the sense of an econo-
mic error made by negroes every
where. Says the Liberator:
The negroes of this city have some
100000 invested in church property,
which not only furnishes them no fin
ancial income, but is a source of con-
tinual drain upon their limited re-
sources. Should an amount like the
above be invested in office buildings
and other real property it would not
only furnish employment for scores
of negroes, but would pay the stock
holders at least 10 per cent. on the in
investment.

GUEST BOOKS MADE COSTLY
Really Attractive Idea Liable to Be
Source of Serious lnroads Upon
the Average Purse.

A charming modern fancy is found
arisen from the cost of entertaining,
for in most country houses the week
end is an institution. No doubt the
motor had a good deal TO do with the
fashion, for in remate places where
visitors used to be few and far be-
tween. friends are now cordially well
coined. Guests set their wits to work
to find few original words of greet
ing, for the old fashioned sentiments
that were wont to decorate country
hotel albums are not suited to the oc-
casion.
Vellum Is the latest binding to find
favor, and this year some, exquisite
workmanship and designing have been
lavished on these useful books. Tones
large and ponderous are displayed
where entertaining is done on a big
scale, and for the modest but charm
ing cottage or quaint old hall there
are moderately sized books bound in
vellum richly Illuminated with scarlet,
blue and gold, and fastened with
leather thongs. Some designers choose
their inspirations from old missals
others select margined volumes of
couple of centuries ago, and there
is also a leaning to the beauties of
Italian renaissance workmanship.
fooled leather is often favored, some
of the models offered being exception
al in their designs, as well as in the
way in which the work is executed.

The pretty and equally effective and

bust. The rather high waist line is
outlined with black girdle. Over
this is worn long semi-ftting coat
of chiffon.

is not in extreme of this mode. The
whole thing is, as ordained by fashion,

The feelings that gather fervor from
novelty will be of little help toward
making the world home for dimmed
and faded human beings; and if there
is any love of which they are not
widowed, it must be the love that is
rooted in memories, and distils per-
petually the sweet balms of fidelity
and forbearing tenderness.-George

about 10000 acres in extent. The cap
ital of the company has been fixed at

There need not be any fear that
when the negro finally abandons his
policy of putting more money in his
churches than he does in all his 9th
er business enterprises combined that
he will be any less religious than he
is now. His religious life will be just
as abounding, just as fruitful as If
not more so than it is now. Reli'
gion cannot be injured by stripping it
of extravagant foolishness, and there
by making it less burdensome and
more agreeable.-Exchange

Only the educated and well-to-do
among us are slow in realizing the
high function of motherhood. very
large per cent of the less fortunate
Negroes are still doing their duty
along this line. 1t is the Negro in the
professions who has gone out of bust
ness IN this matter. We recall the
fact that in certain nearby city
there are twenty Negro physicians, all
of whom are in good circumstances,
and only Ole of whom is the father
OF children. They keep reasonably
busy in the matter of accouchement for
other people. but VIXEN it comes to
themselves, there's nothing doing at
all.-EXchange.
