The coat dress styles, or models hav-
ing the elongated waistlinc rcmindful
OF the Moyen age and the seini-httcd
waists with haring skirts, the collar
snugly fitting the threats, or flat collars
turning over from the round collar lire,
ARE prominent features of the present
style.
Senli-tailored dresses arc made from
serge, gaberdine, broadcloth and cornbi-
nation Of taffetas, satin, or twilied silk.
Novelty silks, taffeta. satin, cIlarmeuse,
faille, surah and ali kinds OF glossy
silks are fashioned into costumes suit
able for every day wear
Quiet in tone the dresses rely upon
the contrasting or harmonizing shai les
for the trimming. Navy and gray blue
combines well together. Flesh color IS
used for trimming navy dresses.
Braids and beaded effects it is qcner-
tally believed viii be in more demand
than ever before.
A navy blue broadclnth dress in Prin-
cess form was brassled all about. The
skirt has wide circular flare and the
waist displays q separate vest bound in
black braid bindings and buttoned in
novelty German silver buttons. Tie
blue is relieved by collar facing of white
Ottaman silk The girdie is trimmed
diagonally with rows upon rows of
braid. The long sleeves are slashed at
the cuff and come we'll below the wrist.

Grown and black furs arc n the aycend-
ant. Fitch generally becomes the aver-
age woman and combines well with as-
.raklian and kindred furs. Foxes of IN
kind, natural mink, martin and leopard
skin, are manipulated with great dex-
tcrity into the best models.
Nearly every fashion in silk and vel
wet can be copied with the aid Of fur
| medium, as the furs are so plizble that
Ithey can invade new fields.
A cross fox scarf. DEVELOPED Of cna
skin IN Puritan shape, has cannonball
shaped muf for its companion, lined and
ruined with crepe de china The scarf
closes with an inch snap fastener. cove

paws so that the fur can hang loose from
1.-THE shoulder.
| Scarfs in the sembiance of cape
sound note of exciusivencss.
Small round muffs, fancy melon shape,
long narrow muffs, boulter muffs, the
pouch and various novelty styles are in
demand
Some just large enough for the hands
to fit in are kept in shape by round hoops
at the outer edge of the lining.
The Innings usually correspond to the
| fur, and are often of soft velvet or
lcrspe de chine with frilly ruffles peeping
loft the edge. A mnf mounted on veil
wet pillow had the skins arranged dag
|onally across the pillow, the head and
brush falling to one side.
Another caprice in the realm of muffs
lis Of cross fox made so that the muff
lean be carried with a lengthwise show

yer hidden beneath it. The pointed
bodice is outlined with ruffle of white
|tulle. A scarf Of peacock blue hangs
from one shoulder and is caught in the
front with a iewelcd motif. Spanglei
bands keep the bodice in place over the
shoulders and coquetishly dropping be-
low the shoulders arc artificial roses.
Senii-I ailored Effects Strong in Fall
Waists.
Such multiplicity OF seTli-tai1ored
models are brought ont in silk and crepe
de chine that it is easy to predict their
use will be encouraged. Hand emhroi-
derry machine stitching, help conform
to the present styles which call for fat
finish.
Cmttons, 1aces, nets, narquisettes, and
crepe Georgettes are included in the
sheer materials for waists. Waists
matching suit colors are made in the
form of dress bodice. White lace
waists worn over the skirt, or in smock
effect, are used as a compromise be-
tween the plain and very dressy waists.
Hemstitcling and drawn work is noted
on the soft silk blouses.
Leg-of-mutton sleeves. not heard of
in many day, are SO familiar now as
not TO cause comment A revival of
the modes OF 1880 and 1870 have added
much charm to the sleeve. The elbow
sleeve which swings out in bell shaped

Owing to the lower cost Of peltrv. the
furriers are able TO increase the amount

pieces, and still keep tie price as low as
last year.
Combinations of furs in decided con-

There are many new types Of coats to
he found, with a choice between the
more fitted form and the loose fitting
style. Much thought has been given to
| the collars which are novel in cut. HIGH
military effects are arranged so they
can be worn opened or closed and the
chin collar, especially in more dressy
mantels point way to the new modes.
Goats are pocSeted with as many as four
pockets and novelty buttons give touch
of gaiety to some of the coats. For
utility wear Scotch and English wor-
steds, checks. serges and gaherdines are
most called for. Nelyets, pushes, and
FUR fabrics banded with fur are used for
the more dressy models.

FARM BURROWS

George Rockenfield, of Chelsea, Ia,
until last fall, when he came to
Rusk county, called at the News
Budget office Saturday. For the
present he is making his home near
Port Arthur with Mr.. and Mrs. Hir-
am Rich, the latter being his sister,
who came last winter from Harvard
en-, South Dakota. Mr. Rockenfield
expects later on to purchase land in
this section.
L. E. Williams and E. Rheaborn,
who do cement, plastering and stuc-
CO work, called Monday. The latter
has a place of some acres a mile
north of town on which he raises rec
ord potatoes. Unlike the land in
Lincoln county, where he came from
2 years ago, his soil here, from
feet beneath the surface will raise
clover prolifically.

BARBER SHOP AND HOTEL

Guy Grignon, who with his family
has been visiting here for the past
week or so, has decided to open up
barber shop, pool room and hotel
here if the necessary arrangements
can be made. Mrs Grignon left
yesterday for Galesville to make ar
rangements to ship their household
goods here. Mr.. Grignon is no
stranger to the people of Glen Flora
having conducted a barber shop and
hotel here before. He left here for
Galesville about three years ago, but
is now so we'll satisfied with the
growth of Glen Flora and vicinity
and it's prospects, to return to his
old stamping grounds. A barber shop
and a hotel are certainly needed
here.-Glen Flora Star

DELIGHTS IOWA AUDIENCE

Few people are gifted with the
ability to entertain an audience dur
ing an entire evening without assist
ance, but that is what was done by
Robert o. Bowman, who appeared
as the fourth number of the lecture
course, and the audience was not on
ly entertained, but delighted. Mr..
Bowman is exceptional in his line.
His character portrayals were rem
dered with marked dramatic ability
and a naturalness and skill that
places him in the front rank of ar
lists in his class. All of his char
acter studies were well-nigh perfect
and indicated a versatility on the
part Of the entertainer that was sur

NOW USING ELECTRIC PUMP
City Makes Change to More Econ
omical System.-NeW
Fire Whistle

Since last Saturday, the city wa
ter supply has been pumped by elec-
tricity, at a considerable saving to
the city over the old system.
The electric pump and motor are
located in a pit "a feet deep, beside
of, but separated from, the well, in
which the water often raises to with
in four feet of the top, Or twenty
feet higher than in the adjacent
room occupied by the pump. Current
for running the pump is supplied by
the Ladysmith Lighting Co.
A record will be kept of the amount
of water pumped each day. Lady
smith is now using on an average,
daily, about 100000 gallons of water,
which is about the amount the tank
on the tower holds. This is too much
for a city of this size and means
that many people are wasting water.
AS a result of this waste, it will
doubtless be necessary for the city
to install meters, which would no
doubt have immediate effect in les
sening the amount of water used, or
rather, wasted.
BY using the electric pump, the
city is saved the expense of two as
sistant engineers and also from one
and one-half to two tons of coal a
day, used to raise steam, which cost
the city from $6 to So. The saving
on these two items amounts to over
$40 a day, although there is par
tial offset in the current used, which
will cost the city about SIS month.
Commencing next Sunday, the city
will have new fire whistle, which
is warranted to almost wake the
dead. This maker is inches
across and 23 inches long and will be
located at the paper mill, where there
is always ample steam to blow it.
The new whistle will probably be
given a try-out next Sunday afternoon
Or the following Monday forenoon.

UPPER Wis. FARES VERY WELL
Gets Gratifying Recognition in the
Naming of Legislative Committees

With the announcement by Speaker
Whittet today Of the makeup of the
different committees, it is seen that
Northern Wisconsin fares very we'll
indeed
G. X. Ellingson, of Rusk and Saw
yer county, heads the important com
mittee of Commerce and Manufac-
lures and he is also the ranking
member on the Committee cf State
Affairs, which has to do with Fores-
try and Water-Power legislation.
Axel Johnson. of Polk county, is
chairman of said committee, being
supported by such men as Ellingson,
Moran of Oneida county, Woodward,
of Chippewa, Camper, Of Taylor and
Hess Of Waupaca
1t is reasonably sure that a good
bill on Water-Powers viii be reported
out of this committee.
Everett, Of Villas county, is chair
man Of the Transportation Commit
tee; and Moran, Of Oneida, js chair
man of the Committee on Fish and
Game. r. Nye, of Superior, is chair
man of the Committee on Municipali-
ties. On Insurance and Banking, We
have H. M. Laursen, of Washburn
county. F. W. Kubasta, of Lincoln,
is chairman of the Committee on FL
nance. Geo. P. Hambrecht, of Wood
county, is chairman of the Committe3 ,
on Judiciary.
1t seems these main committees
are we'll organized for efficiency and
with a general disposition to get
right down to business, finish up the
work, and go home. The same seems
to be true of the Senate Committees
and there seems to be general feel
ing that a hundred days should fin
ish the work.

DEATH OF VIM. THORNELL

VIM. Thornell, 81 years old, who
had been sick four days with pneu-
monia, died Tuesday. Not much is
known of Mr. Thornell, who had
been employed as "beater" engi-
neer at the paper mill for about two
years, coming here from Rhineland-
er. From letters in his trunk, his
niece, in Cincinnati, Ohio, was tele-
graphed, and her husband arrived
this morning. The body will be ta-
ken to Reading, Ohio, for interment.
