OPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society State House WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER! The Syndicate Gleans Some Interesting Notes from Eye and Nose A movement of widespread importance and no doubt of national significance to the colored people along the lines of industrial development of the young colored men in the United States is perhaps embodied in the recent suggestion made to the President of the United States by Hon. Henry Latchfield West, commissioner of the District of Columbia, that young colored men, graduates of the steam engineering department of the Armstrong Manual Training school of this city, be employed in that capacity on the Panama Canal now under construction by the United States. In recent years the education of a large number of colored youths in this country has been directed along lines of practical training which is intended to fit them for work of a highly skillful character, and this suggestion in connection with the Panama Canal construction is highly important in many respects, giving this class of educated, skilled workmen an opportunity to demonstrate their ability and to reflect it upon them Alma Mater and the race This letter of employing graduates of the Armstrong Manual Training school was mentioned to Commissioner West by Dr Bruce Evans, principal of that institution, on November 21 Commissioner West brought the matter to the attention of the President, who accepted the suggestion and immediately wrote to Mr T. P. Shontz, chairman of the Isthmian canal commission, urging that he given looking to the employment of these young men in that connection. In reply to the President's letter, Chairman Shontz stated that he had retweeted the matter to Chief Engineer Stevens, who has direct charge of the employment of engineers, and he issued the President that every consideration would be given to the graduates of the Armstrong Manual school in the selection of the engineering force. A letter from Commissioner West to Chairman Shontz explains ation of the ability and fitness of these young men for employment states that several of the graduates in engineering are now employed on engineering work incident to the construction of the new railway terminal, that three others are employed at the Washington Navy Yard and are giving civic satisfaction, while another is in charge of the most difficult housing machine on the new highway bridge connecting Anacostia and the city of Washington. From the council and board manner in which the President received this suggestion from Commissioner West, it is certain that he is thoroughly interested in this movement and is exciting himself in a way that includes that practical results will follow. Chief Engineer Stevens is expected in Washington on or about Dec. 15 and Commissioner West will arrange a conference which will be attended by the principal of the Armstrong school, and this matter will be taken up in detail with the Chief Engineer, and it is confidently expected that this conference will result in a number of these steam engineering graduates from the Armstrong school being employed in the construction of this great American waterway. It is said that Dr. Booker T. Washington has had information concerning this movement, and his relation to this subject warrants the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 1905. belief that he will undoubtedly give it his hearty co operation. Should the hoped-for result in connection with the employment of skilled colored mechanics and steam engineers come out of the movement now under way, the object of which is to give employment to these Armstrong graduates, there is no reason why even a much larger number than those already mentioned might not also be given work in the construction of the canal. Competent and efficient graduates from every colored industrial school in the United States will have an opportunity to be employed on this canal and should avail themselves of it. A huge number of prominent colored men have already received the idea of skilled colored mechanics being employed on the Panama Canal with a great deal of satisfaction, and it is felt by all of them that is the colored man his participated in the country's victories of war as well as of peace, he should have a part in the construction of this international waterway, which will probably be the greatest peace victory of this century. Having contributed our brain and muscle to the ultimate success of this stupendous enterprise, we and our children will be especially proud in later years when we can look back with the pleasant satisfaction that, as a part of the great American people who made the Panama Canal a realization, we lent a helping hand. General Oliver O. Howard, for leader of Howard University, Washington, D.C., is authority for the statement that "there is no Negro problem" at I that 'all that has been written recently of the colored man's status and the future of that society of which he constitutes a large element, one truth is true." The great and powerful generals who have helped stretch out American civilization like a cover over this North America stand today in the sunlight of American Progress and achievements and reflect the glory of her beginning. We are wont to praise them for their worth, their strength and their magnificence. He continues, "I have never known one whose education has rendered him useless in society." The Negro like all others, has rendered strong proof of his manliness and would not be deprived of the results of his labor by a biased and prejudiced people who seem to care nothing for his rights as a citizen and as a man African League, Buchanan, Liberia, Africa sends out a beautiful, extra 17 page edition to its regular number for November. It contains many interesting notes and comments, the most important of which are the cents of the president and vice president of the republie of Liberia, Hon. A Barclay and Hon. Joseph David Summerville, respectively. Then comes spendful half page out of the statues of the supreme court, B. R. Richardson, A. B. Roberts and J. D. Dossen. Other important feats to show the college of West Africa, the court house of Monrovia and Monrovia proper as it nestles close by the water's edge. It tells of the life and condition of the people with an almost exhaustive treatise of the wealth of the republic, of its manners and customs, habits and wealth of that far off clime. It presents that portion of Africa in its true light divulging much of its hitherto hidden history. News comes from Hattburg, Miss. that D. B. Holmes, A. T. Bowe, and Albert T. James, white, have been arrested on indictments returned by the grand jury, charging them with complicity in the lynching of Ed Brock and Kid Georges colored. News comes from financial circles that Negro banks did a $11,000,000 business last year. Dr. Caldwell Welcomes the A. M. E. Ministers! Thefollowing is the welcome address delivered by Dr. D. E. Cildwell before the A. M. E. Annual Conference, at Osceola, Ark., Bishop B. F. Lee presiding, Nov. 15, 1900. "Mother is a very old world but it sounds sweeter to the man of seventy than to the boy of twenty. There are some things in life that never grow old. The sun, in his magnificent glory is as new and as welcome to the aged and infirmed as to the young and gay. We greet him youth; we greet him in manhood; we greet him still more in our declining years. The flag of our country never grows old to a loyal patriotic American citizen. We followed it at Bunker Hill; we stood by it in the seven days' sight at Richmond; we were baptised in our blood at Gettysburg; we held its staff after it had been shot to pieces in the wilderness; we sanctified it by our prayers at old Appomattox; and lost, but not least, we carried it to glory at old San Juan Hill; yet she is always new and her glory never smothers in the patriotic breast. The word welcome is in old, old word yet it is forever now. The first welcome that history records was a celestial greeting. It was a welcome given by all men to her creator. When the morning stars rising together and the sons of God shouted for joy. The second welcome of Biblical importance, was the welcome given our blessed Savior. It was given by the wise men of of the east upon the plains of Judæ. Welcome generally arises from two causes either on the account of deals done or services rendered that meet popular approval or on the account of the innate love of the object welcomed. When the father welcomed the return of the prodigal son it was not for the good he had accomplished or the fame he had won. He had wasted his substance in mortous living and had violated every law of his being. Yet upon his return, he received a royal welcome. It was brought about by the father's innate love for his son. Now brethren, I, in behalf of the professional man of this city who I have the distinguished honour of representing, shall proceed to welcome this conference to this growing little city for some of the following reasons: First, because of our must love for Christianity, we love every thing good, grand, pure and sublime. We feel like using the language of the poet: I have thy kingdom land The house of lame shocks The church our blest Re dreamt saved, Secondly. 'We welcome you for the many good deeds that you at a body, have performed. We welcome you because you have gone into the highway and hedges of sin and have robbed the devil of his most precious jewels. We welcome you again because you is a body have stood sentinel at the door of domination to ward off all who would enter there. We welcome you again for the great men you have produced. And although Booker T. Washington may be the ideal of our republic, the orator of the nation, the Cicero of America, the Demosthenes of the state of Alabama, as well as the distinguished guest of a most distinguished president, Bishop H. M. Turner will forever stand as the greatest living exponent of Negro manhood and courage Al- though the storms of persecution and the waves of cowardice may roll round him thick and fast, like the great rock of Gibralta, he stands unchanged amid the storm, saying "Boll on, ye dark wild billows roll, my manhood I will continue to uphold." He believes that nothing can take the place of absolute manhood and freedom. Bishop Turner says in action what Patrick Henry says in words, "Give me liberty or give me death." America has agreed to give me Negro everything else on earth but manhood. They have agreed to educate his children providing he does not teach them manhood. They have decided that he may enter the business and commercial world and win wealth and fame, but for God's sake, do not possess manhood and do remain in a Negroe's place. There is no special place for a citizen in a republican form of government. He may be a biggger at the wood pile or he may be president of the United States. The history of your great man would be incomplete without mentioning the name of Richard Allen the founder of your church, and the black John Wesky of America. I shall not attempt to censor him. Millions of Saints in glory stand as a monument to his greatness and ten thousand churches bespoke his praise. I would not overlook the sander lights, men who have worked hard for the master, yet whose names may be unknown to fame. While the poet was true when he said "full many a flower is born to blush anseen, and wastes it's sweetness upon the desert air." yet the least we do for Jesus is most precious in his sight. The professional man of the city welcome you here again because you represent a great and grand institution. Your influence fell over the state of Arkansas, over the south and over the Union, far over in Africa and the Isles of the sea, while Michael's Chief Secretary of Heaven is kept busy recording the names of your Saints as they enter the room. Brother, I have decided to call your conference a spiritual volume. A volcano that bursts once a year and sends forth her fire and smoke even to the gates of the New Jerusalem and spreads her lava over this southland end, I might say, to some extent, over this entire Union. But thanks to the Almighty God, her fire is not the fire that burns not the smoke that smiles, nor the lava that kills. She sends forth the fire that parties, the smoke of redemption, and the lava that builds. Her fire burns upgrate once only; her smoke stifles only superstit on, her lava kills all unreasonable malice, and when the unborn bastion of the future shall stand upon the crowning heights of civilization and with a spy glass in hand shall view the depths from which we rose, he will see no greater force for our uplifting than the work of the A. M. E. conference and no greater lever of elevation than your venerable Bishop and devoted clergyman. Again we welcome you. As peculiar men, men whom the nation needs and heaven approves, God's people are always peculiar. We welcome you as messengers from God. Almost as celestial beings beating good news and glad tiding of great joy. The world has always welcomed her great men. Entire nations sometimes assemble to welcome the return of some great hero. It was so with Dewy; it was so with Grant. When Wellington returned to England after the battle of Waterloo; the battle in which the sun of Napoleon set forever: the battle which plugged from his brow his chief star of hope; the battle which dragged him down from the throne of a king and consigned him to the fate of an exile upon the lonely island of St Helen; all England threw open her gates and bade her conquering hero come in Rome, yes, conquering Rome, the city that sat upon her seven hills and invaded in glory the lily and the sun, gave the Census such a welcome to the world will never see ag in. We welcome you not as hewers from the field of blood and carnage. Your mission has been a grander and more noble one. You have fought the greater battle of life—the battle of peace. You have sealed the highest mountain, the mountain of sin. The mountain that blocks the way from earth to plory. You have lifted up the fallen instead of pulling down the strong. You have given to the world eternal life instead of instant death. You have caused wives and mothers to rejoice over the redemption of their husbands and sons are not to wail and mourn over their destruction. In short your mission has been to raise up the fallen and to bind up the broken hefted. And if it pleases your honor, Most Worthy Bishop, I hope you will excuse me for extending a special welcome to old father Evans, the present pastor Jonesboro and the man who pastored and built this church. When old father Evans came here, he found his children without shelter. When he called his trustee board together he found it composed of young men. Old man Evans said, "Where are your old men?" Some said one thing and some mother. Old man Evans still asked for the old man. He recalled the old warriors of Zion and when the old Negroes became interested the white folks became interested and lent Evans $1000. The Negroes received inspiration and worked with renewed vigor. Hence this church. And again most worthy Bishop, we feel thankful to you and grateful to Almighty God for the possession of our present pastor in the person of Boy, T.V. Townsend. We feel that his presence with us for another year would aid greatly to the Master's cause. He leaves a reputation as spotless is a stat and a name that will never die. I shall close this address with the words of Daniel Webster at the unveiling of the monument at Bunker Hall. In describing the future of that Historical structure he said, that in use and use until it meets the sun in his coming. Let the early light of the morning gold it and parting day longer and play upon its summit. so let it be with the A. M. E. Church. For those and many other reasons which time will not allow me to state, we extend to you a hearty welcome to our growing little city." LINCOLN. NEB. Misses L. thel and Edna Watkins of Conah were guests of Miss Maud Vannell on Thanksgiving. C. R. Bennett and wife spent last week with relatives in Milford, Neb. Miss Katie Alexander and Wesley Gill were married last Friday by the father of the bride, Rev. A Alexander. J. W. Campbell and wife of Chicago are visiting friends in the city NUMBER 47. (Saturday) Knights Templar Had a Glorious Thanksgiving in Topeka. The 12th Annual Conclave of the Missouri Vully Templan Association given Thanksgiving at the Misonne Temple was a grand affair and a success in every way. Emanual Commandery of Kansas City, Ks. was the only visiting one that brought a full drill team. Far West and Mt Oread did not have a full drill team therefore could not enter the drill contest for the prize cup. The parade at 3:30 o'clock headed by a select band under the leadership of Prof. J. M. Ferguson. Cyrene Commandering lead the parade, Emanual and St Joe followed. The Sir Knights in uniform from other commanderies joined in. There were over one hundred fifty uniformed knights in the procession. After marching through the principal streets, they returned to the Hall where a sumptuous banquet was served to them. Over two hundred sat at the table. Much praise is due the ladies' committee and their assistants for the fine style and manner in serving this banquet. The table was in the form of a triangle and beautifully decorated with flags, flowers and forms. The course served was all that one wishes. Messines Ed Drain, H. C. Wilson, Robt. Sime, Chus. Morton, Jos. Brisheen, and W. Williams formed the committee. They were assisted by Sir Knight A. T. Allen whose knowledge of this kind of business is unequaled. Sir H. L. Monroe, the toast master, presided with much dignity. Sir A. D. Butler, chairman of the Temple association and member of the Northwest commandery response to the toast, "Object and Ann" was the most impressive toast of the evening. Sir W. D. Hawkins, of N. W., responded to the toast, "Operative vs. Specialive Knighthood." Sir P. C. Kinneale, "His colored Masonry any Ideals," Sir W. D. Carpenter of Far West, "A knightly construction of the command, right dress," Sir J. Hume Childers "Our fraternal dead." This concluded the toasts after which the Sir Knights matched up stairs to the large hall where several hundred people had assembled to witness the competitive drill for the prize cup. Linnaeus and Cyrene were the only contestants. Cyrene under the command of Capt. Gen. Wm. Reynolds was the first the on foot with twenty one men. They executed several movements forming the K. I which elected much up place. Reynolds came on second under the command of Capt. Gen. P. C. Kinech with twenty one men they made a time showing and one of best dressed teams in the association. They executed several line movements. These five judges decided that Cyrene made sixty-five points and Emmanual, nitty eight. Miss Cyrene G. Smith sang "Stat Springled Bunnet" while the commanderies stood parade rest. Her dress was white with the flag draped across the shoulder, and her sweet, clear voice brought forth several rounds of hearty applause. Her rendition of the song won her a warm place in the hearts of the music loving people and a conclave in the future without her on program will be far from being complete. The grand match was imposing and all enjoyed the looks of the gallant knights in their waving white plumes and glittering swords.

The dining room was in white and green, the parlor in pink and violet. The flowers were pink and white carnations. The football team of Colorado springs had two colored players with them, Messrs. Jackson and Roberts. The Colorado team won the game over Wasburn and one thing we are proud to know is that the team stayed at the National Hotel, one of the leading hotels of the city and there was no discrimination as to color. The public institutions of Colorado do not discriminate and Kanas might take a few items from them. The National hotel is still doing business and no one is kicking. No one has been injured. The proprietor of the hotel is recommended as the young men say they were treated as kindly as they could wish to be. So the world moves on and perhaps after a while each dog will be required to wag his own tail. 2x4 THEATRES ARE DOOMED! Vaudeville. The long looked for has come and at last the Crawford Theatre will be the home of refined vaudeville. This change was made since Mr. Crawford opened the Grand Opera house. It is connected with one of the best vaudeville circuits in the country and nothing but high-class actors will be seen at this house. Bar room performers and other broken down "hams," calling themselves actors, will have to go to the woods so far as Topeka is concerned. Mr. Crawford's houses are open to all and the Texas Rebels who have been operating ax4 the atres in this city will have the pleasure of settling the "race problem" among themselves and the empty seats. The people who desire to see a good, clean show and have comfortable seats, and sufficient space in which to remove their wraps, will flock to Mr. Crawfords spacious vaudeville house—not a store building relined but a magnificent theatre constructed especially for the business. For the benefit of the management of the "Novelty", a store building between Eigth and Ninth on Kansas Ave., we wish to announce that this is the way Topeka deals with Texas rebels who try to sow the seed of discord, hatred and prejudice among people who have lived side by side in peace and harmony since the borning of the state Mr. Thomas Woods of Dodge City is in town this week on business.

He is well known and stands first class with the voters. Jacob Sprague died at his home on Van Buren last Sunday. He was a member of Benevolent lodge, also the C. M. E. Church. He leaves a widow and several relatives to mourn thier loss. He came to Kansas from Mississippi at the at time of the Exodus bringing with him a team of mules which he prized very highly and kept them until they died, the last one died in 1904. Mr. Sprague ran a dray wagon and was known by everybody in the city. He was an honest, upright, old gentleman and was 65 years old at his death. A PLEASANT AFFAIR. On Wednesday evening, at their suburban home in Potwin, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Scott, ably assisted by their cousin, Mrs. Carrie Toler, of Chicago, very pleasantly entertained a few of their friends, whilst being the leading feature of the evening. At 10:30 an elegant repast was served in courses. Those present were Mrs. M. Adams, Misses Sadie Lane and Birdie Jenkins, Mrs. Edw. Wicks, A. M. Thomas, James Hare, J. M. Dorsey and little Miss Phinn Morrison. At a late hour the guests departed, expressing gratitude to the host and hostesses for the evening's enjoyment. --- Mrs. Ietia Vaus. who has been visiting relatives and friends in Oklahoma for the past month, returned to the city this week. Juanita Adams, a sweet girl graduate of Western University, who resides in Kansas City, arrived today and in the future will serve in the capacity of book keeper and assistant stenographer. Frank A. and Richard Harris returned one day this week from St. Paul, Kans., where they had been to attend the last sad rites of their beloved mother. She had been alling several years, and Friday of last week the brittle thread of life was severed, and the spirit of the sufferer was wafted to God who gave it. Mrs Harris was a faithful and conscientious Christian, a loving and devoted wife and mother. The family has the sympathy of a host of friends, and while she is gone from them forever, it is good to know that she lived in the way that God would have her, and her good deeds will live forever as an example of love, truth and Christianity. A. J. C. C. "AUTHENTICATED FAT ESTIMATES." "To my mind the system of 'authenticated fat estimates' of the American Jersey Cattle Club, in spite of its ludicrous name, is the best system of testing cows that has yet been arranged for any breed association. It is as nearly ideal as can be hoped for under ordinary working conditions on dairy farms. My former article was dictated because of a desire to congratulate your association upon their inception." This is the opinion of Prof. Woll, of the Wisconsin Agricultural College, in regard to the system of authenticated tests instituted by the American Jersey Cattle Club. The rules governing a testing system calling forth such an encommium from such an authority are well worthy the careful consideration of all Jersey breeders. These rules were adopted simultaneously with the institution of a Registrar of Merit, and were approved at the annual meeting of the club, May 6, 1903. An authenticated fat test under the rules of the club may be for seven days or for one year, but the emphasis is decidedly on the test for the longer period, as best calculated to demonstrate the dairy quality and value of a cow. When a breeder determines to put one or more of his cows under authenticated test his first step is to notify the secretary of the club, so that arrangements may be made to appoint a qualified tester. The club usually calls upon the state agricultural experiment station nearest the home of the cow to be tested, and a tester is sent under its direction to supervise the test. In cases where the cow is too far away from an experiment station, some competent and reliable tester is sought for in major proximity. From the day the cow is started it is necessary for the owner to weigh the milk of each milking and keep record of name. The tester visits the cow or cow at intervals of about a month, remaining two days on each visit, during which time he sees the milking done, taking a sample and making a fat test of each milking separately. The result of his work he sets down on a form furnished by the club, makes assistant to name, and it is counter-signed by the director of the station he represents and forwarded to the club. At the end of the year's work the owner of the cow makes report of her milk production to the club on a form furnished for the purpose, giving in detail the amount of milk of each milking throughout the year. He is also required to give the dates of the first and last milkings, the date of calving immediately prior to the test, the weight of the cow, either actual or estimated, and, if possible, the kinds and quantities of grain feed given the animal, also the rough feed, and to state the time she has been in pasture. The average percentage of fat in the milk, of the two consecutive days per month is applied to the entire milk of the month in which they belong, and the result is the fat production for that month. The sum of the fat of all the months of the test is the fat production for the year. The average percentage of fat for the year is the result obtained by dividing the sum of the total fat by that of the total milk. One half of the expense of the authorization of tests is paid by the club that is, one half of the traveling expenses of the tester and one half of the amount paid him per day, provided the result of the test renders the annual eligible to the Registry of Ment. When a number of rows are tested in a hard at the same time, the expense per head is correspondingly reduced, the tester being permitted to test as many rows as once as he can properly and safely oversee the milking of. In the case of year's fat tests, the following are the records acceptable by the club, and admitting the cow into the Register of Merit: 200 lbs butter fat within one year from dropping first calf, animal not to be more than 30 months old at beginning of test; 300 lbs butter fat within one year, if cow is more than 30 months old and less than four years at beginning of test; 350 lbs butter fat in one year, if cow is between four and five years old; 400 lbs, butter fat in one year if cow is five years old or over. As attention is more generally called to this mode of testing and to the importance of the long test in demonstrating the dairy qualities of Jersey cattle and so laying a reliable foundation for future breeding that is calculated to take still higher the average standard for lesseys in the dairy, no doubt more and more of the lesseys breeders will avail themselves of this system of anthoxicating tests, and thereby obtaining entry for their animals in the Register of Meat. Considerably over one hundred cows are already eligible to the Register of Merit, either on their year's fat records or on fat or butter records for shorter periods, but so far only thirty nine of them have been entered therem. As to some of the individual records so far made in year's fat tests more may be said in subsequent articles. R M. GOW EXPERIMENT IN IOG FEEDING. The Department of Animal Husbandry of the Texas Agricultural Experimental Station has just sent to the press Bulletin 78, describing extensive experiments conducted by F. R Marshall in feeding fermented cottonseed meal to hogs. The subject is one of lively interest to every one interested in the cotton industry, as well as to swine breeders, for the possibility of feeding cottonseed meal in any form to hogs means increased demand for the meal and greater developments in the hog industry of the south. The bulletin is extensively illustrated and gives a full description of the experiment, as well as experiences of the feeders and the opinions of the packers when the hogs were sold and dressed on Fort Worth market. The following is a summary of the bulletin: 1. A comparison of the results of this experiment with those of other stations at which cotton seed meal was fed in the ordinary way indicates that cotton seed meal may be used in larger quantities and for longer periods when fermented and fed in a slop. 2. The reports of feeders who have used cotton seed meal for hogs indicate that a light feed of cotton seed meal may be continued indefinitely, and that the consumption of green feed lessens the danger of death from feeding it. 3. In this trial the hogs were yard fed during the hot summer season, consequently they were under conditions making the trial as severe as possible. Under such conditions fermenting cotton seed meal does not entirely remove its injections effect when fed to hogs. 4. The results of this experiment show that for the first 43 days of the feeding the mixture containing cotton seed meal and corn gave larger and cheaper gains than the straight corn ration, while during the second period of 40 days the results were reversed. This leads to the suggestion that to improve a corn ration it would be advisable to add cotton seed meal to it for about 40 days, preferably for other reasons also, during the last 40 days of the feeding. 5. The hogs that received cotton seed meal as a part of their ration in this trial showed less fat and more lean meat in the carcass. 6 The carcasses of the hogs that received cotton seed meal, contrary to the previously expressed opinion of the packers, were firmer and therefore more acceptable to them than those of the corn fed hogs. Copy of this bulletin, which will soon be distributed, may be obtained by any one free of cost by applying to John A. Craig, Director Texas Agricultural Experiment Stations, College Station, Tex. Farming is something that has to be learned by actual practice. Theory and what the other fellow has done will not do except as suggestions. One needs to know what is right, and what to do, when it is not right, to make it right. The most convenient farm and farm buildings are the best time savers and the best work doers.

Blouse or Shirt Waist Suitable for All Materials—Skirt With Shirred or Plain Yoke—Velvet Ribbon Trimming—Hints for the Home. Popular Separate Blooms. Popular separate blouses. Again and again it has been prophesied that the separate blouses must be put one side, but as yet practical womens will not give them up. The between blouses, dressy enough for the theater or luncheons, but high necked and long sleeved, seem to get prettier and prettier. The loveliest of them all are made of those exquisite flowered silks—with shadowy flowers that fade in out of the background in so artistic a way. Those exquisite soft crepes with flower prints are charming draped and trimmed with tiny hand-run tucks, or puffs, or lace. Soft drapy silks are very good—but so are stiff silks, and a combination of both. The soft chiffon failes, in exquisitely soft shades of pink, or blue, or violet, make up into beautiful blouses. But, besides silk, soft fine woolen stuffs—mostly white, are being used a great deal. Albatross, silk-and wool stuffs, soft wool crepes and a dozen others are made up into as attractive blouses, in their way, as the silks are in theirs. Magnificent Evening Coats One of the novelties of the season in the way of an evening coat is cut on the lines of a mandarin coat, richly embroidered in colors and gold thread and lined throughout with Chinese sable. This sable is even rarer than the Russian fur and is less expensive. It has a very long nap and is in two distinct colors, a rich mouse gray near the pelt and cinnamon brown at the tip. Among the newest evening coats are those made of flowered satins and silks. They are quite full around the skirts and profusely decorated with lace and touches of fur. Holero laces, to be at all modish, must cling close to the figure. One handsome black velvet gown had applique of white kid for trimming. Moleskin will certainly be worn by those who purchased garments thereof last winter. Broad bows of pink and blue velvet, covered with glittering sequins, are shown for the hair. A questionable fad is a slender watch chain encircling the wrist and suspending the watch in front. Silk belts that match the gown are draped tight without buckle, delineating the suppleness of the wrist. There was never a more favorable time to get out old bits of old trimming and use them to good advantage. Narrow toes have broadened and wide toes have narrowed and the compromise is a sensible and pleasing width. Blouse or shirt Waist. This shirt waist will be found most excellent for all t o waistings of the season, cotton, linen, silk and wool, and is as smart as it is simple, besides suiting stout figures well, there being no greater mistake extant than the theory that such are at their best on plain waists. The wide tucks at the front that give sample fullness below the stitchings, and the broad box plant at the center, are both new and desirable, and combine most satisfactorily with the plain bark. The model is made of chevrolot, white with lines of blue, and is worn with a blue linen stock. But this lost can be anything one may prefer, or can be omitted altogether in favor of ribbon tied in a big bow, although it really is made i table both for this special waist and as a model for the odd ones of which there can never be too many. The waist is made with frosts and back that are fitted by means of shoulder and hard arm seams and is gathered at the waist line, the back being drawn down smoothly, the frosts made to blouse over the belt. The sleeves are the accepted ones of the season, and are finished with straight cuts, and the shaped stock enlaces the neck. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4% yards 11 inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide, 2 yards 64 inches wide, with 4 yard of any width for stock. Worn at Chicago Heres Show, An effective and elaborate white worn in India law, and face insertion, worn at the Chicago show, had a narrow pointed bodice girdle and above the girdle were puffs of fur and the material, which fitted the tight fitting lining perfectly. This extended to the line of a yoke, where a lace bertha was set about the shoulders. The sleeves were made of puff of the lawn and lace and ended at the elbow. The hats worn at the horse show were very elaborate, the Gameborough, Reynolds and Victorian style predominating. Black hats with colored plumes are much in evidence. Velvets are the rage for evening coats. There are several kinds, and liberty and chiffon velvets are deemed the most desirable.—Chicago Record Herald. Missen' Skirt with Shirred or Pink Yoke. Full skirts that fall in soft, graceful folds appear to gain in favor day by day and are peculiarly becoming to young girls. This one can be gathered at the upper edge to form puff shirrings, or once only and joined to a contrasting yoke, but in either case the fullness is made to form he ```markdown ``` plains at the lower edge. The model is made of embroidered batiste, with hand of heavy lace appliqué, but all the pretty soft stitches—silk, wool, cotton and linen—are equally appropriate. The shirred yoke is much lined and is always pretty when the figure is skander, but when, as often is the case in young girls, additional built at the belt is to be avoided, the plain yoke made of lace or of other fancy material is to be preferred. The skirt is out in one circular piece, straight lengths of the material being sewed together to give the necessary width, and when shirred is arranged over the foundation that also serves for the plain yoke when skirts are not used. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 6% yards 28 inches wide, 5 yards 27 inches wide or 8% yards 44 inches wide, with 6% yards of applique and 3% yard of all over lace when robe is used. A Pretty Fall Fashion. A pretty fashion which has been started of late is that of wearing cowlades of colored velvet or ribbon, on the left side of the corsage rather high up, and the other on the right side at the waist line. They are loose and are generally of a contrasting color to that of the gown with which they are worn. Hosettes of burnt cowlage velvet make an exceedingly pretty accompaniment to a smart afternoon gown of brown plisse chiffon. With the Housewife To remove rust from steel cover the article with sweet oil and leave it for two or three days, then dust it thicker with finely powdered, unlabeled time and rub till the rust disappears. Lemon juice will remove most stains from the hands and grease from kitchen tables. This being the case, it is well to save the squeezed-out lemons used in cooking for cleansing purposes. Flatirons should be washed every week and always kept in a clean, dry place. Few housekeepers use such dust wax in ironing. Do not allow your iron to become red hot, as they will never again retain the heat. To remove iron stains on matte apply to them a mixture of oxyacid and methylated spirits, leave it on a short time and then rub dry with a soft cloth. Lemon juice will sometimes remove the stains. When winds blow and there is free in the air put handkerchiefs, collars, socks and all small articles in the wash to dry in a pillow case. The fall is spared whipping by the wind, they will freeze dry and be quickly gathered for boiling. The hat scarf differs from the wool, since it is wound about the back, never over the face. New scarf is one of face in black, white and colors with embroidery in solid color and contrasting colors. Ribbons of all descriptions are to be wed upon the new hats. Among the new ribbons are the plaids, the floral, the motra and double faced embroidery, satin and taffeta. The high crowns will lead in the large hats, the Directoire and the Gainemborough being the most popular. The English round hat will be a favored hat this season. Wrinkle About Particles.

The organs of the body are working poorly, or not at all, and you are not getting the nourishment needed. This soon impoverishes the blood and instead of throwing off the impurities, distributes it all through the body. This brings disease and misery. Feed the nerves with Dr. Miles' Nervine, a nerve food, a nerve medicine, that nourishes and strengthens the nerves, and see how quickly you will get strong and vigorous. "My wife suffered with nervousness previous to a recent attack ofiphoid fever, but after her recovery from the fever, she was much worse, and could hardly control herself being exceedingly nervous when the heart excited. She was very restless at night, and never had a good night's rest. She also suffered much from nervous headache, and Nervine was recommended by a friend. After three doses she had a good night's rest, and at the end of the first week's treatment she was wonderfully improved. Continued use of Nervine has completed her entire cure." 2021 Cherry St, Evansville, Ind. Dr. Miles' Nervine is sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first bottle will benefit. If it fails, he will refund your money.

The teachers' program rendered last Sunday evening was a success in every particular. All the numbers were good, but we must give special attention to Principal Carter's paper on "Industrial Training", in which he brought out many interesting thoughts on industrialism. Especially did he show that the industrial is one complement to which the intellectual is the other, of a true alliance. First one is incomplete without the other. Many other ideas were suggested, which we have a spree to mention. M. and M.

God's mercy will keep forever more and his gift is true, unto all those that liveth the life of Christ, and that you fear to lay aside your sinful way and take up the true life of Christ. All mankind is powerless before the great God whom the Christians serve. And now, just to assist and assure and to aspire you, I will tell you in the maze of business you will find young men upright and just, who are clinging to a age in Christ and old men with hearts of love, singing praises to his name. You will also find Christian mothers and young women with hearts and faces aglow with the hope and smiles of heaven. In hard places where poverty has oppressed, you will find little children with beautiful faces and eye-bearing with love and honor for Christ and sympathy for all mankind. Please understand in speaking of the church of Christ that it includes the ministers of all Christian society. The preachers that live as Christ did and preach as Christ said preach, such men are worthy of our hirs and you should hold such men in high esteem and love as brothers and ministers of God. Even the noble people and sinners help and honor such Christians and preachers that honor Christ. The preachers who live otherwise, are a disgrace to Christ and a shame to their own persons and church. JHON HARRISON Junction City, Kas.
