Jacob llolwrte, who get the fattest lnml ofllce In Oklahoma, was In town Monday on hi way thither. In Hon. O. M, LamWtsoH Lincoln has n city attontoy In whom she cannot only take pride but confldenoo. The city council Is to ho commondod for selecting a man of mark and ability. It make a follow feel Imtter, thta nowi that the mayor of New York is having a logging bee with the Western Union telegraph pole. The W. U. haa had It own way so long that this revorto apieals forcibly to the bump tiousness Innate In every man. Thr Imld-headed memlers of the senate found In Senator Taggart'a engagement an excuse for holding their unmarried colleagues up to scorn, but If the Indications of the jwut week count for anything Senator Pope will dodgo their sarcasm before thoy moot again. Bknatoii Huuton'h attendance on the Tag-gart-Willlam wedding was Incidental to a trip to Oklahoma. Having fallod with his little bill intended to givo his town, Orleans, n grip on Harlan'a county soot, it Is presumed that the senator is just running down to Okla homa to pocket Its capital city. Tiik nutt-prohlbltlonsts consoled themselves with the thought that a great many jiooplo would get tangled up in the double-headed submission ntueudiuent otid make n fatal inuddlo (it It, but now that the prohlhs havo started In to dovoto eighteen months to last ing tho Intelligent voter tho consolation hus rather cold comfort. Attohnkym Atkinson and nobblus, tho anti-saloon llopubllcans, aro arranging to capture tho wholo prohibition moremont. They aro citvulntlng n llttlo paer culling ti non-partisan prohibition convention in this city on Juno nth, and tho t-tato may as well Iks prepared to henr from thoso gentlemen. Being Lincoln men tho Couiueu backs 'em against tho Hold. Tiik effort to Infuso new life into tho board of trade nITonUn magnificent opportunity for some "enterprising," paper to mako a "sen sation" by holding up Its sins of omission to public scorn. Thus far tho Lincoln papers have bravely resisted tho temptation to fob low tho naughty oxsmplo of Omaha, but on second thought the capital city papers nro run by men at brains and they are not imita tors. That particular brand of notoriety Is too cheap, and besides it has u full grown back action kick concealed atout Its porson. Duuino the recent legislature Senator Polk of Plattsmouth was charged with having pledged himself both for and against tho sub mission of prohibition. Some of the talk got to be offensively bitter, and tho senator from Cass gave It out that on bis return homo ho would start a paper and give, his critic ns slduotis attention. He has abandoned Unit Idea but Intimates that he is getting theie Just the same. The other fellows say ho is backing a Democratlo paper, but Pope ain't savin' a wont. Verdict: Not proven. Out of thr Vaunt Line. . Several weeks uxo tho Cotmtint made the announcement thtt lit tho near future Mr. I). dimming, tho popular Twelfth street grocer, would associate with hlnnolf a Mr. Q, B. Morris of Sycamore, III., and that the gentleman would arrive about April, 1Mb In tlmo to transact a share of the firm In creasing business. Mr. Morris arrived last w.wlr. mul tlm ComiiKtt havimr had tho Dions- uro of already making hts acquaintance be- upeaks for him a most pleasant and proipe" ous career In the commercial field of Lincoln. He Is n pleatant gentleman of more than or dinary business tact and well versed in his calling. Lincoln should feel flattered at hav ing Mr, Morris locate In our midst, for beforo casting his lot with us, ho was considering a prominent place in Chicago as his field of future operations. However having hoard so much of Lincoln and aftor a visit here re cently concluded that prospects for him were better here wan in wo wosiorn metropolis. He is an old friend of Mr.Cummlng. therefore does not Join n stranger In strange builnoJ and In a strange land, but quite the reverso. Recently this well known bouse made n new departure, differing materially from any ntw irrocerv In the city. About sixty days airo they added a lino of the finest imported canned and Jarred goods to thoir aUractlTOH Ktrak nf fiituiv arrocerlos. embracing the very flnost from France ana uermany. suewi goods aro the genuine imported, each box bearing the duty stamp, unbroken. Ono must soe these luxuries to appreciate them and bettor yet, to more thoroughly appreciate tlwm you must' put your teoth into them. Tho assortment embraces almost every known fruit Including every specie of the berry. , It is pleasant to note the steady increase In this new feature of the firms business, as well as the general volume In other parte, of the Jim Another now delivery wagon ha been brought Into use and additional clerk help has been added to serve the public. The Couiukr Is tOeswed to Hote the success) with which these gentlemen are meeting, for it luwwa of no ntliM- houw that Is mora deserving than tho enterpiUlug ftrra of Cumtuhigt & Morrir. j THE BONNET AS A MOTOR. OLIVE HARPER 8AY8 THE WORLD GO IT MAKES ROUND. A Dentrliitliin or What Is to lie Worn Dur ing Ilia Coming Season Spring Wraps, and They Are linrtiy, Are Neil to the HonnuU, ' (Special Correspondence. Nkw Yoiik, April 18. To any ono who makefl n study of such thing it scorns ni if, Instead of lovo, it is bonnets which mako tho world go round. Wo nro told that hata nro smaller and bonnotB nothing but midgets, but when wo go whoro thoy aro wo 11ml that hats aro bigger than over beforo and bonnets nearly as largo. Thorulo Is still largo head coverings, but thoro being a fow women left in this world who nro not entirely oblivious of other peoplo's feelings, thoro nro n fow closo, amnll bonnets mado. Tho fashion writers grasped at thorn llko tho tradi tional drowning man at tho straw and tried to mako themselves bellovo that ono swallow mado a wholo warm, bright summer full, but it was useless; tho MOTIVE TOWEB OF THJt WORLD. American woman had tasted tho awoeta of doing something which set men's teeth on edgo and played havoc with thole usually unobstructed viows of other women, who might from circumstances becomo rival. Men, thoy thought, did not need to two tho actresses nny way, and besides it wuh good to disciplino tho soul, and besides, atcatu, tho big hntn nro uni versally becoming when thoy nro adapted by .color or trimming to each face. So thoy let Koino howl and tho Romans, too, and they still keep their big hats. Only now tho hats aro wldo in tho brim uud not mi high in tho crown, but it makes no dllTorcnco to tho unhappy malo crcaturo behind tho hat, unless it is a llt tlo worse, for tho hat is always set at such nngln that tho head has a tnngiblo halo around it almost as largo as n cart wheel. The brims of tho finest straw hats for young ladles nro certainly four feet in circumference, if not mora. Thcso nro not left tii llaro out roundly. Oh, no. They nro lined, ru filed and frilled, and then bent mul puckered and dented in ovcry posslblo shape, and after thu brim is thus bowildorcd out of its own origi nal symmetry, n fow onormous bows of ribbon nro stuck on and perhaps tho en tiro adornment of tho oxtromity of some wild nnd untnmed ostrich is ndded to mako it a thing of beauty nnd n joy for a season. Flowers of tho field, orchard and garden uro added, wholo families of tiny birds nro placed ns if in n nest over which hovers a larger bird, and a ruffled up "lwnty" hen, gives realism to nnotR-r. Bugs, bees nnd flics also lend their attraction, but all thcso aro nothing to what tho I "style" is. New, tho "stylo'' is tho pe culiar .shape into which each high priestess in the milliner's work soon suc ceeds in torturing It. Tito forewoman hit's it u whack over tho corner of tho ( tabloand tho errand girl bangs Uugnintt a tin pan; and other girls oxorclso their muscles on it, and tho errand boy hits it with a base ball, and then it is trimmed, each of thcso dents and creases forming a crovasso to hold a llttlo glacier of snowy mull or an avalancho of plumes; but, in splto of all that, tho chief sales lady In ono "mugasln" was not satisfied with tho form and "stylo" of ono par ticular creation In whlto Tuscany braid, SOME MORE MOTORS. with soft whlto plumes and snowy mull and a whlto pearl buckle Something was lacking to mako it per fect to her fastidious tasto, but when sho was called away from the counter for a minuto a drummer camo in with his case of samples, and ho sot tho caso down hard upon that very liat When tho lady saw what had happened sho calmly rescued tho hat and looked at it, whllo a smiloof perfect beat I tudoBtolo over her expansive lips, and sho murmured "Heavenly," Tho hat was nowsmashod into n Icngthwiso, slanting shape, witli all tho other dents and bends blending into ono cr(ect whole. No money would tempt mo to wear that hat, but It actually was beautiful on the head of a M " 7 J&fSKtm very pretty girl with dark wavy hair nnd brown eyed who tried it on. Thcro is nothing that Is not used in spring millinery, velvet, satin, silk, muslin, cloth laco, tulto, beaded work, flowers In silk, muslin paper and feath ers, plunu's long and fluffy, short nnd bunched, chicken feathers, and llttlo birds all nro in stylo and you sco first ono nnd thou tho other. Sometimes pretty nearly all nro crowded on ono bonnet. Next to tho bonnets in importnnco come tho spring wraps, of which two aro presented with this. Tho ono mado of plain goods is tho moro graceful, while tho brocaded silk ono is tho moro elegant. Doth havo tho long sleeves reaching to tho bottom. Tho cculinr "cliio" of thcso garment consists in their being of tho exact length of tho dress skirt Wraps of this stylo aro mado of light ladies' cloth, of camel's hair, of silk brocado.of plain armuro silks, of mohair goods in black and gray nnd of tho sev eral different Priestly wenvoo for tho purpose. Then silk mohair brllilantlncs aro peculiarly adapted to theso wraps, being light and of a very rich appear anco, whllo no dust can cling to them. For thoso ladles who mako their own gowns 1 can say that a simplo Princesse dress pattern (sail that is required to cut thorn by, always rcmomboring to cut them flvo Indies longer than tho actual measure from waist lino to tho bottom, as they "tako up" very much in tho mak ing. Tho slcovcs aro but breadths of tho material gathered into tho arm sko, but loft open all tho length. Tito sleovca aro always lined when of material light enough in wolght to admit of it Any Ingenious lady can mako for horsolf ono of thcso popular wraps in this way, which will look as handsomo as ono sho would buy. Ready mado they cost all tho way from ton to ono hundred dollars. A very beautiful fancy was worked out in this design by having a dress of vie lot silk, over whioh was a wrap of French lace, imitation of Chantllly, and a sash of violet ribbon, with fringed out and knotted ends. I don't know whether I mentioned that knotted fringo pf tho material of tho gown or garment is very much affected just now. Llttlo boys' and girls' suits have sashes of tho mato rial, with tho ends fringed out deeply and knotted. Plaid wool goods, camel's hair and silk, in fact, all aro dono in tho samo way. In this way it is not neces sary for a child to havo a silk sash or a ribbon one, even for quito handsomo clothes. Tho simpler tho design in infants' and small children's clothes tho prettier thoy aro. Dables' dresses aro now scon with very long skirts with a fow clusters of flno hand run tucks, with hemstitched horns, with possibly a rufllo of laco at tho bottom. Thcro aro bouio mado of tho wldo embroidered flouucinga forty inches deep, but nil uro mado high in tho neck and with long slcovcs. Thoso fearfully and wonderfully made llttlo linen shirts, with tho utterly use less llttlo flaps in front and back, nro now relegated to innocuous desuetude, and Et.KO.VNT NEW SPRIKQ WItAFS. comfortable noft knit undershirts, with long alcoves nnd buttons down tho front, havo taken their places, to tho great bene fit of the rising generation. Common sense and experience havo taught mothers that flannel is tho best thing for their ten der llttlo babies, and though tho pretty pink arms nnd dimpled shoulders do look lovely uncovered, tho chances of pre serving that frail llttlo lifo aro very much totter when they nro warnily cov ered. Cloaks for tiny babies aro now mado of tho beautiful new wash silks, which aro of tho Cheney fabric in palo bluo and pink or cream. They nro lined with soft white flannel nnd trimmed with SpaniMt laco or other laco frilled on. When thoy aro washed tho iinincr in to bo removed, us it would shrink.

Tho buiiltatiou Craze. A Boston artist isconvinced that thcro is too much public interest in sanitary matters. Ho mado a charming drawing of a houao standing near a pretty river of water, somo trees and figures. But this did not satisfy tho purchaser who had ordered tho picture. Ho was suro that u housoso near a river as that would bo unhealthy, and so tho artist was ob liged to raise the houso upon a hill which was painted especially for the purpose, Tho picture was a wreck front nn nrtis tio standpoint, but it suited tho owner exactly.
