Brilliant Wearing Apparel
For London Women

Chicago, July 5.-London, accord
ing to returned fashion expert, is
celebrating peace in gorgeous colors
in clothes and everything that per-
tains to personal adornment. Never
were women, more brilliantly appar-
eled. Gowns, hats, jewelry, fans,
parasols, stockings, show all the col
ors of the rainbow. The styles ex-
press the joyous reaction after war.
''The shops in Bond Street" said
the traveller, "show a wealth of ORR
entail coloring in every detail of cos
tune. Silks, patterned after Cash
mere shawls line the capes and even
ing wraps. Small toques and copied
from the Hindoo turban and made of
variegated silks. Dresses are of ev-
cry shade. Parasols are Of gay silk
and have elaborately ornamented
handles with trimmings of gold and
silver.
"The jewels worn are as lively and
as barbarically rich as the garments.
Strings of beads, neckchains hung
with pendants of semi-precious
stones. finger rings with clusters of
colored gems, earrings and bracelets
of gold and silver decorated with
cloisonne enamel are among the pop
ular styles. The beads are made from
agate, quartz, turquoise, jade jasper,
smoked amber and lapislazuli. The
designs are copied from American In
dian work and much of this sort OF
jewelry now so prevalent in London,
is imported from the United States.

IMPORTANT FARM NOTES.
New Outbreaks Of Hog Cholera
Cooperation is Lacking
Potato Storage Work.

Hog Cholera.-Five new out
breaks Of hog cholera were reported
July 5th, 9Th, and 7th. AS ! see the
situation, it is growing very serious
for hog growers Of Lincoln County.
No one seems to be alarmed and no
one interested enough to look after
the interests of the people where the
outbreaks have occurred. It is up
to each and every Lincoln county
farmer to help to keep down this ter
rible disease.
There is no sure for hog cholera
known, but vaccination with chol-
era serum and virus is sure pre-
Yentative. Do not wait until your
hogs are dead and then expect the
county agent or some veterinarian
to raise them from the dead. The
time to prevent hog cholera is be-
fore the hogs take it. VACCINATE.
Vaccination for hog cholera will
not keep hogs from dying with
swine plague, worms, forage poison,
lice, mango and other diseases that
very often kill hogs. When hog
is vaccinated with serum and virus
he becomes cholera immune and not
disease and insect proof. Many peo-
pie are today criticizing the vaccina-
tion of hogs because they wait until
the hogs are dead before they have
them vaccinated and after they are
vaccinated they expect the hogs to
live on less feed, be disease proof
and OF course some think the lice
should get drunk and fall off and
mango should go away and the skin
of the hog clear up. Remember,
vaccination for hog cholera only
prevents hogs from having cholera
and it is a sure preventative that has
past the experimental stage long
ago.
July Is, 16, II, and 49,, Sweet
Potato Storage House Week for Lin
coln.-July 18th to 18th will be
spent in helping farmers of Lincoln
county to construct sweet potato
storage houses. The time mentioned
has been set apart by the Department
for this important work.
'The proper storage of sweet po-
tatoes," said Mr.. J. Ed Ruff, dist.
agent, sis one of the biggest prob
lens confronting us today. Last
year Mississippi lost almost three
million dollars worth of sweet pota-
toes-a sufficient sum of money to
build a storage house on one half
of the farms in South Mississippi.
The urgent need is curing house
on each farm.
Sweet potatoes are most health
full and wholesome diet. The aver
age farm family has potatoes only
about four months in the year. The
curing house will enable them to
have potatoes twelve months in the
year.
"The lowest price for sweet pota-
toes obtained about harvesting time;
the highest price from January to
March. The man without curing
house is compelled to sell on the low
market.
Owing to the prospect for phe-
nomenal crop, the price will probab-
ly be unusually low at harvesting
time this fall. A curing house will
likely mean the difference, in price,
from SOC, to 4Oc per bushel in the
fall and from $1.25 to $500 per
bushel next spring"
Every farmer who is interested in
building sweet potato storage house
can get information and help from
the county agent.-Henry Legett.

and will undoubtedly be again denied,

The Attack Upon Lord French.

An outbreak of assassination in Ire
land will be regarded with deep re-
greet by the true friends of Irish free
dom in America. The attack upon
Viscount French near Dublin, fortu-
nately unsuccessful, cannot fail to in
jure the cause Of home rule and set
back the progress of reform. In 1882
Lord Frederick Cavendish, chief sec
rotary for Ireland, and his secretary
were killed by Irish partisans at al
most the identical spot of the attack
yesterday upon Lord French. That
crime proved one of the most grievous
blunders ever committed by the ad-
vocates of political separation of Ire
land from Great Britain. 1t is said to
have retarded home rule by several
decades. Just how far the ATTEMPT
upon the life of the viceroy will have
the same effect cannot be estimated.
1t has already, however, intensified
bitter feeling in England and echoes
OF the shot are heard in parliament
against the interests of the home rule
legislation now pending.

Self.penied REPRESENTATION.

A majority of the voters Of the fifth
district Of Wisconsin who troubled to
go to the polls yesterday declared
their preference for going unrepre-
scented in the House Of Representa-
tives for the remainder Of the pres
emit session of Congress to sending a
man who would surely be seated. They
gave Victor Berger, already declared
by the House to be unfit to sit in Con-
gress in view of his attitude toward
the government of the United States
and his conviction under the espionage
act, a majority Of nearly 5000 votes.
Had all the voters who were registered
gone to the polls Berger would prob
ably have been defeated. There were
about 5000 of these, and on the reck-
oning that the Berger strength was
fully voted, those 5000 absentees, in
effect, gave him the verdict, though
they were doubtless opposed to him.
Whatever the figures, the fact stands
that Berger will once more present
himself for admission to the House

ever he has taken the floor in the
Senate. Both are able and likely men,
and highly respected ON both sides Of
the chamber.
The new leader, it is conceded,
should match the old leader. Mr..
Martin was a very capable man, a
thorough partisan when partisan mat
tiers were up. but in all other matters
broad and tolerant in his views, and
helpful in the transaction Of business.
He was all alive, and glutton for
work. Probably no member of the
Senate on either side was more regu
lar in his attendance, or more dill
gent while on duty.
For these reasons the minority does
we'll to weigh with all care the merits
Of the two men presented for its
judgment. The man chosen will have
his hands full. He will find it neces-
sary to keep his eyes open, from the
rising of the sun even unto the going
down of the same. ALI sorts of ques-
tions will be coming up, and he
obliged to show the way for his side.
During the coming six months, indeed,
the leaders of both sides on Capitol
Hill will be tested for all they may
know about politics in all of its vari
Gus forms, as we'll as about all that
enters into the governments business
in general.

Old Earth.
Old Earth still travels on his way, de-
spite predictions grim. Some
prophecies placed on display
have not meant much to him.
His constitution was too strong
To get him in entirely wrong;
But many experts gravely claim
That Earth will never be the same.
Old Earth has had some fearful
shocks. His face shows many a
change, and even now he's
lodging knocks at close or
lengthy range.
About his health nobody cared.
They had him all shot up and scared.
With fortitude he played the game /;
But Earth will never be the same.
Old Earth has had at sorry cost some
lessons harsh to learn, and
bright illusions he has lost that
never can return.
Perhaps twas to prepare the way
For some serener future day.
Whate'er the merit or the blame,
Old Earth will never be the same.

The Senate's Minority leadership

The Senate's minority leadership
will not be decided until after the
holidays. The postponement was
probably wise step.
This is an important post. The two
parties in the Senate are almost even
~ divided, and great deal of bust
ness is on the card. A presidential
campaign approaches, and both par
ties, in the Senate and elsewhere, are
already on the alert. No bets should
be, or are likely to be, overlooked by
either side.
The leader of the Senate majority
is a trained legislator of large and
long experience. He served his novi-
tiate in the House. He has been in
the Senate since 1s93-a period of
twentysix years. He, therefore,
knows all the ropes.
The minority is, of course, taking
Mr.. Lodge into account. 1t must face
him at every turn. His knowledge of
politics, his knowledge of congress
sional procedure, and the authority
which attaches to his conspicuous
party services are party assets Of
value.
Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. Underwood
are under consideration for the minor.
itys prize. Like Mr.. Lodge, each
served his novitiate in the House, Mr.
Underwood rising to the majority
leadership of that body. Both have
shown quality since their transfer to
the Senate. Mr.. Hitchcock was con.
spicuous even before taking charge OF
the peace treaty, while Mr.. Under
wood, by reason of the experience
gathered in the House, has from the
outset received much attention when.

The Presidents Strength.

The country, without regard to
party. welcomes the daily news of the
Presidents steady gain in strength.
1t has, of course, sympathized with
him from the beginning of his illness.
So much business was in hand, and
he by nature so eager a worker, it
could appreciate how great his i'm
patience must be at finding himself
disabled.
But another consideration now is
that the time approaches when the
President will need full strength to
meet an exacting situation.
When Congress reassembles after
the holidays a legislative grind for
months will begin. A variety of ques-
tions will be presented. In many of
them politics will be factor. A presi-
dental campaign, to be conducted on
political lines, approaches. The Presi-
dent is a democrat, and wants his
party to win next November. Con-
gress is republican, and desires re-
publican success then.
Such a situation calls for confer
ences and concessions. The majority
leaders of Congress will want to meet
the President occasionally, and prob
ably he them, for the adjustment Of
differences growing out of their re-
spective points Of view and obliga-
tons.
Ordinarily, the President is not dis
posed toward conferences with any
body. His party friends have COM
planned Of his aloofness. He consults
them but seldom. His habit is to
think things ont for himself, and then
announce his decisions.
This disposition has served him very
well since he entered the White House.
Until recently, his party has been in
control on Capitol Hill, and very
much at his command. It has per.
mitted him to shape many Of the
measures enacted into law in the past
six years.
The republicans, Of course, will in.
sist upon a different procedure. Theirs
is the responsibility on Capitol Hill
now, though they lack the votes nee.
essary to pass measures over the
Presidents veto. Whatever is done,
therefore-and much will press for
action-must represent the adjustment
Of differences between them and the
President.
Quite recently, the President con-
ferred with Senator Fall, a republican
leader, about Mexico. True, he did
not take the senator's advice. He pur-
sued a course of his own. But he re-
ceived the senator, and heard him
through.
If that may be accepted as the in
auguration Of new policy, the Presi,
dent will need robust form to meet
the requirements Of the next siz
months. The republican leaders, and
the democratic leaders as we'll, in both
House and Senate, will want to see
him occasionally and sound him on
subjects Of business. And good deal
of business should be transacted be-
fore the two national conventions
meet and call their respective sides
into the field.
