POPULATION OF LINCOLN, 60,000.
NkmuhkA may be hanging on the ragged
edge of anxloty, hut hone remain. 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

It is pleasant to note the steady increase In

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,

Something was lacking to mako it per

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

nnd brown eyed who tried it on.
Thcro is nothing that Is not used in

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
