from the car the authorities secur

Home Millinery
The millinery school which was
held by the Cass County Farm Bu
reau at Weeping Water was a success
in every way. Eleven delegates were
present and all seemed interested in
the work. First, instructions were
given on how to select becoming and
attractive hats. Different types of
figures, faces, coloring of hair and
skin were studied and why some
women can wear certain shapes and
others can not. Another interesting
phase of the work was that of cut
ting paper patterns, trying them on
and remodeling them until they suit
ed the face and figure.
Renovation and remodeling of old
shapes and material was also taken
up. Many old hats were remodeled
and made to look like new. Also,
many new and becoming hats were
made for both women and children,
all of which the owners may well
be proud.
Friday, March 10th, an interesting
style show was held. Miss Harris
gave a short talk on the history and
cost of hats. Fiften hats were on
display and more than 30 women at
tended the style show. The total
cost of these hats was $33.69. a sav
ing of about -69.24 to the women.
Many of these hats were remodeled
but over half were entirely new.
All of the women returned home
with the fruits of their labors tucked
away in a band box determined to go
home and pass on the information
gained at the school to the rest of
the women who could not attend the
millinery schook .We expect to hear
from these six communities in the
near future and we know the reports
will be worth while.

SUFFERS SEVERE ACCIDENT
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. George
Detloff of Omaha, formerly Mrs.
Florence Newton of this city, was the
victim of a very painful accident at
the Leavenworth laundry in Omaha.
Mrs. Detloff was engaged in some
work there and in so doing had her
left hand and arm caught in some of
the machinery resulting in the frac
ture of the bones of the arm and the
breaking of the wrist. The Injured
lady was hurried to a hospital where
the injured arm was dressed and the
patient made as comfortable as pos
sible under the circumstances altho
she suffered a great deal of pain
from the Injury.

Gorgona, Pedro Miguel and old La
Boca.
"On arriving at her first school at
Las Cassadas, with books, she found
a bare room 24x36 not even a black
board installed, but 26 pupils all
sizes and colors waiting for her. Af
ter enrolling the children, she asked
each one to bring a bottle of water
and a box to sit on in the afternoon,
but boxes were scarce and most of
them set on the floor for over three
weeks. An American lady kindly
loaned her a chair and small table
for herself; in six weeks her school
showed a daily attendance of 119
pupils. Her school closed at 2:15
each day, but often it was seven o'
clock when she reached Panama on
labor train (where, she was obliged
to live) due to washouts, wrecks,
etc., often having three or four
wrecks before reaching destination.
In speaking of her early life here,
Mrs. Maxon recalls a collission with
a trainload of coffins or. rough boxes
(which were in constant den'ini

remains with her, such were the
experiences of the 'old timers," as
they were commonly called, but we
will draw a curtain over the pain

davs, which we might record, and

of flowers and cleanliness made so
by the people who gave their early
days to answer the call 'Divide the
land, unite the oceans, who helped
to achieve 'America's triumph.
Mrs. Maxon is a woman among
women. She enjoys a large circle
of friends and many social memor
ies linger about ' her pretty cottage
on Tivoli hill; she has been the guest
of honor at many social functions
since her going away has been an
nounced. Many lovely dinners have

secured in the south portion of the

Mr. Klinger has been seriously
sick only .from last Friday, as he was
affected at that time with an attack
cf heart trouble that was found to
be very dangerous and which came
as the climax of a case of blood poi
soning from which he had suffered
as the result of an accident. His con
dition grew rapidly worse until the
death yesterday.
The funeral services will be held
on Thursday afternoon at 2:00 from
the St. Paul's Evangelical church.

There seems to be an inclination
among rome of those who have not

through floods, to favor a sewer sys

Among the structures destroyed
by the fire, aside from the "fire
proof" Burlington skyscraper, were
the Atlantic and Austin buildings,
extending from 300 to 318 South
Canal street. These two buildings
formerly belonged to the Warren
Springer estate and were the most
property in the square
which was the principal scene of the
fire.
Insufficiency of water supply pre
vented the work of more than a score
of fire companies in holding the
flames to their original sourcee, tho
almost the entire department was
called out. At the Burlington build

streams would not reach higher than
the eighth story.

The fire was discovered shortly be

flames in the offices of the Art Shade
company. By the time the first fire

among various publishing firms were
then working. They escaped with
