The county commissioners hnvo decldod
that Lincoln shall have three Justices of tho
pence, and tho earth will contlnuo to go
'round.
A. Y. Ball, n member of the lost legisla
ture, left Wednesday for Washington terri
tory, to net as timber Inspector for tho gov.
eminent.
IlAHTtNOS got tho republican stato conven
tion without opposition. Lincoln walvoil nil
claims, but will bo on hand for tho big con
vention of next year.
1'UOF. Oaluwkll, of tho Stato University,
has been at work on n history of education In
Nebraska, to bo published by tho department
of education at Washington.
TliK friends of constitutional prohibition

Dn. FitAKK S. BiLLi.voa, of hog cholera

The beo keepers of tho state aro bestlrrl ng
themselves nnd pro.nlso tho best oxhlblt this
year's fair thnt thoy ever made. Hero Is n
chance for Senator Uurd, who bos taken to
herding bees.
Axoxo the most worthy candidates for
political olllce this fall is Dr. E, L. Holyoke,
who It inontionod for tho coronershlp. Tho
doctor Is an educated man and has built up a
flue practice on ability.
The stato board of pharmacy cancelled
107 druggists' certificates Wednesday for
failure to pay the annual fee. There was no
excitement, however, as the holders had loft
tho stato or quit business. Tuirty-soveu drug
clerks were oxamtned.
The set of standard metric weights and
measures due from the government has been
sent for by Gov. Thayer. It will bo put In
chargo of Labor Commissioner Jenkins. It
may bo a thing of beauty mid a Joy forever,
and probably some use may bo found for It.
GovxRXon Thater has accepted an Invi
tation to go to Creston, Iowa, for the opening
of the blue gross palace, and will probably
be acoomiMUiled by his staff In all tho glory
of gold lace and military trappings. Gov.
Larrabee of Iowa will also bo present, and
the contrast will be Immonsoly favorable to
the dignity and courtly bearing of our gov
ernor. In Lincoln good olllce rooms ure scarce.
Quite a contrast when compared with Oma
ha, There olllces are, and have for a year or
more, been idle. The two jumbi buildings,
namely the flee block and N. Y. Life Insur
anee, are both almost empty and go bogging
for tenants, as also do several other blocks.
Capitalists wanting good Investments can
tlnd them by putting up olllce buildings in
Lincoln.
Walt Seelkt, secretary of the senate, did
not go to California with his father last week,
ns reported. He went only to Cheyenne, but
will go to Los Angeles later. He is now In
Lincoln at work on the Journal of the senate.
His labors will not lost much longer, but the
Journal will not Iw issuod until after the
campaign. Certain politicians need not
worry this yoar about their records while In
Lincoln last winter.
SrEAKt.va cf his observations In New York,
Hon. G. M. Lambertson says: A half day
spent at Monmouth park at the races gave
me an Insight Into the betting mania. The
bookmakers were surrounded by hundreds of
men fighting for tho chance of placing their
money on their favorite. In the grand
stand messengers were running to and fro
taking bets from the women. Old womon,
young women, shop women and sorvant girls
vied with each other In venturing their
money on the horse they named to win, A
Saturday afternoon at the races when all the
clerks of New York are off duty Is a Jolly oc
casion and affords food for the reflection of
the moralist.

rtKH.Ial Correspondence.
New Yoiik, Aug. 15. Tho now fall
goods show figures larger, If iwsslblo,
tlmti before, mid It will bo impossible to
got the whole pattorti In ono bIoovo, nnd
tho wnlst will hnrilly display tho design.
Spread tioii tho counters tho nowest
silks look K'lrlnh nnd coarso, but when
made up with tho proper combinations
thoy nre hI.vIIhIi nnd striking, If not pret
ty. I saw ono dress which wna mndo
for nn expectant hrldo for n promenmlo
dress nnd It was of sago green, with
Inrgo flowers In terra cottn, with leaves
of shnded green, Tho skirt was of sago
green, of exactly tho samo shado as In
tho ovordrcss for groundwork.
SEASONABLE COSTUMES.
The drnpyy at tho back and sides
hung straight In deep plaits, wittiout any
bustle. Tho front waa richly draped,
and tho wnlst was outlined with threo
narrow belts with email loops and fish
tall ends. Tho sleovca wcro full and
gathered into dark green velvet bands
and tho collar was of tho same, Tho
sleeves wore shirred in such a manner
as to form a puff abovo tho shirring and
a sldrring around tho neck, about five
inches deep, forms a yoko and gives full
ness which is gathered In bolow tho rib
bons at the waist. A dainty llttlo whho
laco capoto with Alsatian bows as! green
ribbon finishes this slmplo but stylish and
handsomo dress.
This bride expectant is Miss Sara Lay
ton, who has written bo many books
undor tho names of Arrah Leigh and
Mrs. C. C. Hotfman fifteen in all, I
think. She is young and very protty,
with beautiful hair. Sho is to weur a
whlto Batln and brocado gown, with a
tullo veil and orango blossoms, and wiU
havo eight bridesmaids,-and bo married
in church. Sara Layton is tho friend of
Mrs. Mary E. Dryan, tho novelist and
writor so dear to tho hearts of south
om women, and it in not very long slnco
sho camo very near ending both hor own
and Mrs. Bryan's career of usefulness
by carelessly handling a Derringer pis
tol. The ball went through Miss Lay
ton's hand and hit Mrs. Bryan on tho
side, glancing off, fortunately, howover,
without inflicting greater injury than a
torriblo shock and fright and a great
bruiso on her side. Miss Layton's wound
was very seriou?, but is now well, and
tho two are firmer friends than over.
Thoy camo near making a long journey
together.
Another pretty costumo which will bo
worn to that wedding la mndo of emer
ald green velutlna and shrimp pink
surah. Tho costume consists of a rodln
gotoof tho velvet ovor a surah skirt Tho
jacket lids aro very dcop and tho cuffs
the samo. Tho front is so arranged that
tho lapels can bo folded back or fastened
across tho chest with llttlo tabs of tho
volutiun and handsomo onamelod but
tons. Tho vest is of surah with flat
poarl buttons with a shrimp pink shado,
and tho tlo is mndo of crapo of tho samo
shado. Thcro is a llttlo shoulder capo of
tho velutlna. Tho hat is of yellow straw
with bows of shrimp pink intermingled
with laurel blossoms and leaves. Across
tho foot of tho skirt is a box plaited
band of velutina, which is moro used for
handsomo dresses now than Lyons vel-
vot in colors.
DAINTY WRAPS.
Fall wraps aro mado mostly of silk,
other gros grain, slcllicnno or ottoman.
Tho beaded wraps can bo of quite ordi
nary quality of silk. Tho very protty
wrap of lace and beaded silk Is of plain
black silk, finished by a drapery or laco
which is brought down in ho back in
the same manner and fastened with
loops of ribbon with a fall of tho loco.
Bows finish the shoulders. Any handy
young lady can make this dressy wrap
at the cost of about $3 less if sho has
any of the materials on hand.
Tho basque wrap can bo mado by tak
ing on old silk waist and nearly cover
ing it with beading, and a Spanish laco
scarf will mak tho tabs. The back to
be trimmod Uko tho front, but without
tabs. Ouvx IIa&peb.
