The New COssack Silhouette
Trimmings of Fur Military B1ading
Costumes; Cossack Hats.

The wide bands Of fur which are
used on the brtom of the full skirts
or tunics, are a strong reminder of the
costumes of the Russian, the Pole and
the Cossack. With this as a begin
ming. the designers have harked back
for inspiration to costumes of Russians
and Tartars Of the middle ages. Won
derful evening coats are made like the
costumes Of bartering Tartar tribes
The material is a heavy bTocade, almost
of the texture of silk tapestry, while
the figures scattered across its surface
are Oriental in origin The garment
is cut very close fitting at the should
ers, and with sleeves set in, which
flare at the bottom where they are fin
ished with band Of fur. A wide band
Of fur adds weight and richness at the
bottom Of the coat. which flares out in
deep godet ripples
Secondary only to fur comes braid
ing. The popularity for this is no doubt
due to the war abroad. FoT all we may

Express Messenger Arrested at Carroll
Carroll. Dec. 1O-Sheriff Hamilton
arrested S. G. Ragor, hitherto an ex-
press messenger, on the north branch,
ON the charge OF larceny. Ragor later,
it is claimed by the officer, made a
written confession in which he ,samit-
ted that on last Sunday morning he
kstole a package from the local express
Office during the temporary absence OF
Agent Ogilvie, which contained $40
and some cents. He also admitted the
theft OF a package Monday morning
containing about 81, it is said. On
missing the package Sunday lOgilvie's
suspicion was directed to Ragor, who
was apparently the only person. who
could have gotten away with it, and
the package which Ragor succeeded in
getting on Monday morning was de-
coy placed where he could not fail to
see it. While Ragor sconfesses to
these thefts he denies having taken
other packages which have been
missed in transit over his run.
Ragor is q single man and lives in
Sioux City. He is about SO years old
and has been with the company about
four years.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All tho blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
OF impure matter daily, when UNI
healthy some part OF this impure,mat-
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
which vary widely, but may include
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot. dry skin, rheumatic pains.
govt, gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing. dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness. dropsy, deposits
in tho urine. etc. But il you keep the
filters right the danger is overcome.
Doan's Kidney Pills have proven an
effective kidney medicine.
Mrs. Henry Hermann, Third street.
Manning, Iowa. says I've have used
Deans Kidney pills and consider
them worthy OF endorsement. This
remedy gave prompt relief from back
ache. pains in the loins and trouble
with the kidney secretions."
The above is not an isolated case.
Mrs. Hermann Is only one OF many in
this vicinity who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doans. II your back aches
