Joire. "They are getting thinner

Society crowded the ballroom of
the Ritz-Carlton today for the exhibi-
ton of Paquin gowns. AS the models
stepped upon the stage and then
walked slowly down the aisles so that
the women-and some mcknight
view the gowns more closely, some of
the low-cut bodices drew forth gasps
from the audience. The models didn't
dare.
So thin was the net and chiffon
over the shoulders that thin strips of
beading held the skirts up, for the
material Of which the waists were
made was utterly UNEQUAL to the task.
But with all the brilliant display of
gowns and the gasps of,astopishment

Will Worship i'm Calico.

The congregation of East Alton
Baptist church of Clinton will go to
church next Sunday in calico and
overalls as means of rebuking
Dame Fashion. The members noted
a decrease in church attendance and
decried that many persons perferred
to be comfortable on Sunday to go
ing to church and decided on a
scheme whereby they would do both.
The pastor, the Rev. d. c. Blunt, is
enthusiastic over the scheme and it
has been adopted by the board Of
trustees. Some of the persons who
had been remaining away from
church told the pastor they had
done so because they did not have
the clothes to enable them to make
a "splurge' that compared favora-
bly, with that of other members.

AUTOIST GETS PRISON TERM.
KeOkuk Farmer Asks Supreme Court
to Set Aside Sentence for Kill
ing Girl With Auto.

G. w. Biewen, wealthy farmer
of Keokuk county has just perfect
ed an appeal to the supreme court
from the judgment of the district
court sentencing him to serve term
not to exceed eight years in the Fort
Madison penitentiary for the killing
of Clarissa Hames, a child, with a
deadly weapon known as an auto
mobile"
This is the first case to reach the
Iowa supreme court in which a peni'
Tertiary sentence has been dealt out
to an alleged careless autoist. 1t is
expected to attract wide attention
as careless driving of automobiles is
a serious problem in many localities
of the state.
Biewen is charged with having
struck a child less than 2 years OF
age with an automobile on a country
road. The wheels passed over the
infants head, causing death few
hours later. The evidence showed
that the driver of the car did not
stop TO ascertain the extent of the in
juries to the child. Witnesses declar.
ed that the driver of the car was
Biewen. But Biewen when placed
on the stand, denied having seen any
child in the road or having struck
one.

MORE ROTTEN EGGS.
State Inspector Visited DEBORAH
Friday and Four Parties Were
Assessed Fine os
$40 Each.

Inspector Forester of the pure
food department of the state, was in
DEBORAH last Friday, and as a result
of his visit four different people
were assessed a SO fine each by
Justice H. F. Barthell. Rotten eggs
were the cause of the fines. The in
spector visited one of the local stores
and found a number of rotten eggs.
Two farmers and a merchant at
Nordness besides the local dealer
were submitted to fines, because they
were equally guilty for hav-
ing them in their possession. Mer-
chants are supposed to candle all
eggs they buy to be sure they are
fresh, or else if they don't they are
liable to a fine the same as the one
who sells them to him. There is no
doubt but that all merchants and
farmers know the law regarding the
sale or having in their possession
rotten eggs, but we presume some
merchants trusts the farmer and the
farmer trusts the weather, and as
a result they take chances and pass
up the Gambling end of the deal. 1t
is perhaps good deal like the fell
low who had a leaky roof on his
house. When it was raining he
couldn't fix it, and when it wasn't
raining it wasn't necessary to fix it.
Consequently the state has inspec-
tors travelling around making friend
ly and remindful calls.
Recently at Fertile, Iowa, Inspec-
tor Forester took out Isl rotten
eggs from a case, which is going
some.

THE ONEOTA.

Winneshiek and Allamakee coun-

sturdy and thoroughgoing class. A
recent trip throughout these coun-

these lines:-
Where the mind grows young with
springtime,
That lasts the whole year round,
Where the heart is light tho the
hair turns white.
And nature smiles abound
In the beautiful Towering valleys.
Where natures carpet lies,
Its colors yield to fragrance,
That is waited DER the skies.
Where the Oneota river (Iowa, in
Howard and Allamakee) flows
Through the valley with trees tipp-
ed Ger mountain bowers.
To the mighty Mississippi,
To inspire life, love and flowers.
With its corn, and oats, barley, hogs
and frisky colts.
scarce taking a rest,
With its self binders and automo-
biles used for business and
pleasures,
Make these counties of all Iowa
the best.
Where the roar of the grand Oneota
is heard at times,
Echos its joys Of nature,
And scatters its pleasure far and
wide,
If one is able TO keep out of danger
Where we live in a glorious day
dream,
And free from the struggle and
strife,
Amid natures choicest beauties,
When the spirit unfold it's life.

GUN CLUB TOURNAMENT.
Annual Shoot o. DEBORAH Rod and
Gun Club Held Here Thursday.

The annual tournament of the
DEBORAH Rod and Gun Club was held
in this city on the hitching grounds
last Thursday and a large crowd was
here to participate in the shoot. A
general bombardment was kept up
all day long, and with so much war
news circulating from over the big
pond, a person unaware of what
was taking place might have inn
agined that war had broken out
here. The spectators present greatly
enjoyed the shoot, which was regu-
lar interstate shoot, as the local club
is a member of the Iowa State
Sportsmens Association. The officers
are C. N. Houck, pres, DR.. H. H.
Thomas, vice-pres., r. H. Tracy, Sec,
A. r. Johnson, treas, and T. c.
Johnson, field captain.
During the day about 5000 shells
were fired, and while no world rec
ords were passed, the day was full
of intense excitement. After the
shoot an automobile ride about the
city was enjoyed by the visitors and
at $50 about fifty sat down to a
tempting banquet served in the din
ing room of the Elks Home by the
Ferrand Cafe.
President C. N. Houck acted as
POSTMASTER, and introduced the fol-
lowing gentlemen, all of whom gave
interesting talks: Supt. Alberts, of
Lansing, assistant state game war
den of the Mississippi division; r.
7. st. John, Riceville, assistant game
warden for north half of Iowa; Fred
Bills, champion rifle shot and agent
for the Winchester people; DR.. Swe-
zey, Decorah E. c. Hinshaw, state
warden, who gave long talk on
what the department had done and
what they intended to do.
The following gentlemen partici-
pated in the shoot and the figures
