$5.00 TROUSERS
Made to Measure.
Three pairs of $5 Trous
ers for the price of one in
tailor shops that keep such
styles.
They're made to measure
with the best of care. The
quality is worth the work;
above all the styles are.
The goods are made for
Nicoll by the mills at home,
with weave and coloring
not far behind the foreign.
They'll be long-remembered
money's worth at $5
to measure.
Let Trousers bought as
jobs and poorly made to sell
at shabby prices wait; they
ought.
You'll search the stores
in vain to find a paralcl. We
have several hundred pat
ternsnot many of one
kind. They're uncommon
value Nicoll-like.
We wouldn't offer a style
that dressy men would turn
from. The profit's small,
but suppose we make 100
pairs to measure daily? we'll
see. v

In tlilslnua no present nil lllustrutod arti
cle on tho over wclcomo nnd jtopular subject
"Ocorgo Washington," wherein tho history of
tho declaration of Independence Is reviewed.
Tho three great inoiiuinoiitHof Woshlngton in
tho United States nro pictured. Yestenlay
was tho birthday of tho father of our coun
try, and thus this Intorohtlug matter comos
In qulto opportunely.
TiiKvlslbof U. B. Senator Mnndorson to
Lincoln Tuesday exumplinod tho universal
feeling that exists between himself nnd tho
state nt largo. Nevor was n publlo olllcer
more royally received at tho hamU of iho No
linukn leirlslnturo. than was tho tircsent re
cipient of national honors from this fair
tato. MnndorHon U n ilestrveUiy lwpuiar
innn. miti tho vote clvon him by the legisla
ture was certainly n fitting testimonial for so
worthy a gentlemen.
Ah Rimuno nnnroaches tho matttor of city
elections draws nigh and tho sovoral candi
dates begin to show their colors. Among
them mnv Im noted somo itoMilar young inou,
stunly, cntenrislng nnd cnorgotlo, nnd If nny-
geta to tho front, as usual tho Uouiueh wanw
to boo them In tho front now, Tho light for
mayorship promlsos to lw warm, several ap
plicants are also showing up ror city treas
urer on each side, and that another warm lo
cal campaign Is coming on apaco Is certainly
quite plain to bo seen.
It is to bo regretted tlmt the great l'ltnnmn
canal scliomo lias come to such nn untimely
end. After spending over 1350,000,000 and
offering hundreds of lives In tho great scheme
and then drop It for want for final encourage
ment, seeniB truly a great pity. Tho schoine
wns Uio Idol of tho French peoplo. nnd hoping
somo day to see It completed, thoy sank ap
propriations ono on another, until finally re
ceiving no furtheratd, DoLtineps was forced
to give It up. It is reported that laborers
working at tho sceno have been loft In desti
tute circumstances In a country where cli
mate diseases are prevalent, starvation is kill
ing and no remedy at hand to provont tho
panic, and general destruction of tho inhabi
tants. And so after these many years of toll
tho vast amount of money expended, tho
largo number of human lives lost, all conifs
to thlr failure and abandonment.

Kansas has Just been placed In service by the
Union Pacific railway. This train leaves

and others Imvo doublo cuffs, ono to turn

Tho Albanian sleovo is uindo with a

In which case it opens quite up to tho

Theso otitcr sleeves can bo mado quite

they can bo embroidered richly In uu nil
nror pattern or simply havo 11 band of
passcuienteilo sown along tho edge.
I raw ut iv reception lately n young
girl who woro 11 dress of shell pink surah
cut very scant, nnd over this sho had n
full drapery of pink silk net. Tho surah
sleeves were short, nnd sho had open
hanging sleeves of tho net, which wcro
full and reached nearly to tho knees.
Tho skirt was somehow draped with tho
not in n manner which gnvo it n sort of
classical nnd graceful cllcct Impossiblo
to dcsciibe, but it was lovely. I lor arms
wcro draped, nnd yet wcro baro, and tho

which is sometimes quite plain and
sometime ilnlshod with a narrow frill

whon discreetly usod, nro as sultablo for

girls. Thoy glvo a graceful slcndorncss

Other handsomo sleoves havo "caps"
or shouldor pieces set In points, In
scallops or puffs, and others again havo
handsomo epaulettes of pendant passo

costume last week, which had "caps" of
knotted black silk fringo, and, by tho
way, I havo seen a good deal of this
knotted fringo used lately hi trimming
liandsomo silk and silk warp Henrietta
gowns. Tho silk is regular sowing eilk,
heavy and rich, and is practically Inde

and as a ctsscado down tho front of tho

ways of shirred goods, of whatever
quality is used, but thero are really not
TM7 many of that style seen, aa they
n not becoming to many, and are very
aeatly bealdes on account of tho work on

For the baby's brother 11 sailor suit of

the front of light liluo or white, is tho
prcUea of every tiny clothes. Red
stockings, homo knit, or clouded homo
knit stockings nro now tho highest stylo
for children's wear. It will greatly
puzzle home women to keep their boys
in fashlonnblo stockings, and 1 11111 afraid
1 11111 ono of them. Still I am going to
try to lout 11, for if I havo one ambition
in tills world It is to keep my boy up to
the mark In fashion.
It is it now but worthy uiovo in tho
right direction to learn to knit, nnd yet
it can lie carried to excess. Now, If you
get 011 it car or a ferry boat whero thero
are n number of young ladies tho chances
aro ten to 0110 that four or llvo of tho
uumlier will tako out of their little knit
ting bag (and that makes mo think that
nearly nil of them carry old fashioned
knitting bags slung over their arms),
their needles nnd go to work with a will
on wristlets, mittens or fatockings or to
boggan caps or something, and I think
it Is n pretty sight, and In any roso it Is
better than reading trashy novels or
chewing gum iu public places, still ono
would think they could do Hint at homo.
Tho ten gown is evolving ulways into
now nnd moro leautiful completeness,
nnd F01110 ladies Imvo it perfect collection
of them. They can't resist each now and
lieautiftil stylo ns it comes forward. Ono

of tho loveliest is tho Franceno tea gown,
which is mado of pearl gray cashmere,
with tho accessories of ruby velvet and
tho front of pink 6urnh. Thero Is a
pink and silver embroidery nround tho
lx)ttom of tho skirt. This can bo mado
up in challio, moiiHsclino do lulne, or
India silk, or in the dainty and lienutiful
now wash materials for warm weather.
I know n lady who is going to make this
model up in sateen, ligurcd and plain,
and I know it will bo very handsome.
A reception dress tlvat is very popu
lar is mado of white cloth and sago
green cashmcro, with braiding of green
chcnlllo ono slmdo darker. Tho basquo
nnd sleeves, as well as tho scalloped
points, nro all covered with tho braiding.
Tho vest is of tho whlto cloth, as well as
tho underskirt. This costumo is most
elegant, ami tho model can bo copied in
almost any seasonable inateilal nnd har
monious color, fallen n dress ns tins will
last for several seasons and bo handsomo
and Btyllsh, with possibly somo slight
modification; for a stylo bo graceful and
rich is seldom allowed to go out of fash
ion, as far as tho general features aro
concerned, and therefore, whilo thoso
who cannot nirord n great number of
dresses might hesitate about tho advisa
bility of making so elaborate n gown,
fearing that it would go out of 6tylo bc
fnro it woioout, tliey need not do bo.
Fashion, I know, has many sins to an
swer for, but bIio is not quite so capri
cious as all that, thnuk goodness.
Thero Is ono moto novel nnd exquis
itely beautiful fancy in homo dresses
that I feel it a solemn duty to mention,
and that is tho new white cloth dresses
for ladies of all uges, from tho little lady
"fouryoars old next May" to tho other
ono who will bo "forty como next grass."
This cloth is between felt, Manuel und
broadcloth, with tho excellences of them
all, und no drawback. It Is soft and
pliable, nnd with a port of velvety pilo
that is simply lovely, nnd it does not soil
easily. This should be made bo that it
will hang In ample folds, nnd Is trimmed
with more or less elulioiate gold em
broidery or braiding, or with ruby, bluo,
moss green or block velvet, and in nny
way makes beautiful dresses. Ladies
may nimiso themselves braiding or em
broidering them. They couldn't employ
their tlmo better, even to tho neglect of
tho heathen in Borrioboolngha.
