D. G. COURTNAY, Chairman. T. D. COBBEY, Secretary. Lincoln, Neb., April 12, 1888 TnB PONTOON BRIDGE. Thb Herald has always zealously fav red every feasible, scheme for tha im provement and building up of tho city, and has generally met with a hearty sup port of our businessmen. We were compelled during last year at times, to make uncomplimentary notices of seme members of the city council, for the reason that some of them were afflict eu witii emergen lueas ot their own im portance, and at times would very indif ferently treat the petitions of the tax payers, but our city legislature, since last year, has boen vastly improved, and The IIekald hopes the wants of the people will not be misunderstood. . .a vjut pcopie nave a preposition that is both feasible and fair for the building of a pontoon bridge across the river before them, which The Herald believes should bo accepted without delay. Tho rich farm lands lying within seven or eight miles of this city en the east side of tho river would be immediately trib utary to our town, while a great deal of trade would bo drawn from further points. The price of hay and other farm products would be lessened. several greatly There is not a housekeeper in Platts mouth but pays almost every day for butter, eggs, chickens, apples or potatoes, or some o'lier vegetable, a higher price than would be paid if we ceuld get the produce from the east side of the river. iauo a numuer 01 racitic junction peo ple come here to trade at the present time, buying our better class of dry goods and groceries. We believe the advantages to be gain ed from the water power furnished will We well worth considering. Mr. Stewart has over $15,000 deposited right now i our city banks, but he claims he is not here for his health, and to our way of thinking Mr. Stewart, to make the bridge a success for himself financially, must depend on something else besides the travel: he must know what he is about and to a great extent be depending on the renting of the power which he will obtain. As an advertisement alone, two thous and dollars a year is far less ihan either Hastings, Beatrice or Grand Island, have expended. We realize we have not got the live people they have got in those towns, but we think wc have some suffi ciently wide-awake te see the great ad vantages to be derived from the securing of the bridge. By all means we say let us have the bridge. BOOMED TO DISAPPOINTMENT. The demociatic newspapers of the east announce with a ridiculous assumption of bravado that a part of their campaign this year will be directed te the capture of the United States senate. As the case now stands, with Mr. Barbour, of Virgin ia, elected to succeed Mr. Riddleberger, and supposing that there arc no ether changes, the next senate will be a tie. With a democratic vice president that party will control the upper houso of congress; but the democrats don't pro pose te be satisfied with this. They are hoping to capture the legislature of Ore gon, which is to be elected in June, and choose the successor to Senator Dolph, whole term expires next March. Michi gan is another state to which the demo crats are looking with hopes born of Post master General Dickenson. The only state in which they believe it possible for them to loose a senator is New Jersey, and on that contingency are speculating anxiously. Seme recent movements in that state prove that the administration is trying to conciliate Senator McPherson to unite the democratic factions. Our democratic friends are almost cer tainly doomed te disappointment There is a much greater probability that the re publicans will gain control of the lower house than the democrats will secure a majority in the senate. Gazette-Journal. Captain II. E. Palmer, of Platts mouth, ia receiving favorable mention for delegate at large from this state to tbe national republican convention. The captain is well qualified for tbe position and would prove an honest and capable delegate. We have no doubt but the old soldiers and republicans generally of this county would be glad to see hint chosen. Tccuinseh Chieftain. A democratic club at Kansas City has just determined to go in a uninformed body to the national convention at St Louis. They will wear linen dusters, white plug hats and a red cane. The news item does'nt so state, but the nat ural inference is they will also wear red noses. In November they will all be blue. Fremont Tribune. Thb Mexicans are congratulating them selves upon the fact that their Secretary ef State, Senor Manscal has gained a pronounced advantage over our Secretary Bayard in the correspondence concerning the Cutting indemnity case; but then a man needn't be much of a diplomatist in order to get the advantage of Mr. Bay ard.

Always Listen to the Sag-geatlon of the Artist How to Make the Rest of An Unhandsome Countenanoe Short Necks ami Long. First deeido what style you will have bust, throe-quarter flprure, or full lenrrth. Tho first two aro tho prevailing modes, tho last im Plying a more elaborate toile t row eecuro your sitting. It ia always better to do so. thus obviating tho annoyance of waiting. lief ore leaving the studio, unless tho appoint ment is mado by letter, consult tho photog rapher as to your drw, etc. Lot bim know what it is to be. You may be undecided which of several to us?. It then may bo a choice in color or in ciii, etc. lie will tell you at once which is Ix'st. lie may request you to try more than ono, and in the alienee of such invitation you will bo expected to pay extra for tho experiment. AYhile yoa are talking with him about dress ho is studying your face, expression ami form generally. If he also be an artist, and exjieriunced, ho may see at a glance that your customary way of dressing the hair is not becoming, for, strange as it may seem. comparatively few women have the knack of arranging their hair in the modo demanded by their face. While ho knows that tho por trait must not be ruined by the hair being done up in an unfamiiar w-ay, he may yet give you a few invaluable suggestions. For instance, he may request you to bo more careful in dressing tho left side than tho right, thus signifying that the left side of the faeo is better. Few have both sides alike. Thero is often almost as much difference as between two persons. Tho nose is much or a little to one sido; ono eye is smaller, because one lid droops more; there is a depression over that spot where a tooth has been ex tracted. The uneven shaping of the lips alone may decide which side of the face should be prominent. You laugh rather to one side and, by the by, there is always something pretty about such a laugh and you have developed a dimple, which, sad ex perience teaches the photographer, will be demanded of bim. But, as it happens some times, be may foil to detect the slightest dif ference between the right and left, but be still requests you to take special pains with a certain sido of the hair, as he prefers to show that side of the face. This is because in every atelier the light is better at one end of tbe room than at the other, and he is accus tomed to place his sitters there. Now, and not when you come to sit, is the time for you to tell him what you prefer. You wish a three-quarter face, or a front view, or a profile; you have studied the idiosyncrasies of your face for years, and have so decided, lie listens respectfully. but bis eye has searched out all the little secrets of anatomy, and fathomed your hid den reasons for thus and so. You are afraid of that cheek bone; you do not say so, but be knows it, and is studying how to retire it and lose it in the tinting of the background. You are conscious of those cars; they are large, and stand well out A photographer knows how formidable an antagonist is an ear that projects at right angles from the head; he knows that thero is usually but one way to subdue it, end smiles inwardly at your emphatic demand for a full front, which means that both ears shall show equally. When he says "full face" ho means a pose that almost or entirely loses one ear. jferhaps you insist that he do not make you a proruo; you often rejoice that you live in an ago when silhoutte profiles are out of fashion. The prominence of vour nose loroius it, or a long chin puis it out of the question. A side face is j'ust the thin" for you; tho photographer sees it at a glanco for, again, strango as it may appear, tho possibilities for a profile do not depend so much upon the features as upon the hair and neck drossing. A slight tip to tho Lead one way or the other lengthens or foreshortens tho features, and the photographer, in manipulating his light and shade, may refine or render them stronger at will. Ho will tell you not to arrange the hair till you como to the studio, for a very short distance. especially in damp or blustering weather, will rum it. Jtie wm prooaoly request you not to dress tho neck too high or too ticrht. or in an exact circle, with the fore part of it lying close under the chin, for, of all things, tho present high mode of dressing tHo nock is distressing to an artistic photographer. It is done because the lady has a short neck or a long one, or it is thin, and the cords must be concealed. It is done, for it is the fashion. This is all a mis take. You are surprised when the photog rapher says it, for there is a touch of bitter ness in his tone. He illustrates bis meaning by winding the lapols of bis coat tightly around -his neck. "You see, madam, the effect on a long face like my own. It over- bangs and becomes almost deformed, while a round face becomes button shaped, and none of the little tricks of hair dressing or expression can remedy it No; it's all a mis take. If your neck is short, as you say, do not lose what you hare, lower the drapery. do a little j"udieious borrowing, and, presto! the face that was round becomes oval. In any cose the neck must not be hidden, for all the action and grace 01 position in a bust portrait centers there." INever ask your friend to enter the opera ting room with you. It embarrasses the artist, and is almost certain to ruin your ex pression; in fact, few photographers will allow any one to enter the glass room with the sitter. Remember that a bright sunlight is the worst light you can nave. Choose, if possible, a day with an overcast sky ; a snowy day is excellent The early part of the day is to be preferred, say between the hours of 10 and 13 a, m., and then the light is more actinic, and the photographer bos not been wearied by a score of sittings. Black, dark green, crimson, brown and yellow take nearly the same shade. A dress cut low in the neck always seems much higher In a photograph thaa to an observer. A masculine face is softened and refined by a soft neck dressing, a bit of lace being preferable to the stiff standing collar. Harper's Bazar. An Inaodlkle Jangh. In one of his letters to the beautiful Theo- dosia, Aaron Burr implored his daughter to cultivate an inaudible laugh, and that is pre cisely what fashionable women aro doing in Chicago. The training is individual, and may be pursued to suit the face, features and fancy of the anti-laugher, who, mirror in hand, studies her glass continually. If the cbin is pretty in contour and modeling and teeth white, the pupil must learn to laugh with her lips, but wear a rigid brow and steady eyes. Are the teeth unsightly, then she will hare a woful time, for tho mouth must be kept closed, and how to laugh with tho eyes and not wrinkle the face is a task. Handbooks and teachers of tha art of expres sion tell the students to train the eyes to smile, and caution them against the habit of tightly closing the eyes when a pleasing sen sation is felt, a habit which prematurely wrinkles the lower lids and works crow's feet about the cornara of tbe eyes.
