Loop City Northwestern J. W. BURLBIQH, Publish •* UVF CITY, . . NEBRASKA. Can’t Wizard Burbank be induced to try his hand on a mosquitoless sum mer? The national bank circulation now amounts to over $500,000,000, .very un evenly distributed. As Mrs. Langtry talks of going into vaudeville it looks as if she is about ripe for a pension. In the celebrated case of gasoline fumes versus mosquitoes Judge Nose reserves his decision. There is one thing in favor of the 60-year-old school marm—she is going to stick to her business. The stigomay is a big mosquito well supplied with yellow streaks. It means business in every attack. The postmaster general has invent ed a new kind of money order. But It will be just as hard to get as ever. The early publication of “Fads and Fancies’’ is now promised. It has been well advertised by smart advance agents. A Pittsburg man has invented a ma chine that will make and bake forty pies a minute. Where is the gatling gun now? Simeon Ford’s chauffeur ran away with his automobile. The joke Is on Simeon, but he doesn’t see any mate rial for a funny story. A Philadelphia paper says that “Mrs. Harry Lehr now has a pet poo dle as her constant companion.” An other whack at Harry? A crockery trust with a capital of $40,000,000 has been organized. It may be dangerous to start a bull movement in that stock. It is to be remembered, furthermore, that J. Pierpont Morgan can afford to buy a new suit of clothes every day in the year, if he feels like it. A western novelist recently went t# jail in search of local color. Most men would prefer to get their local eolor in nice fat public offices. The actress who wanted her green eyes made brown would have saved money if she had conquered her jeal ousy without going to a doctor. The Massachusetts judge who has decided that an umbrella is private property probably knows who has his, and hopes the warning is sufficient. In case her creditors kick at getting only seven mills on the dollar. Cassie Chadwick can point out with force that they are in luck to get that much. A bunco man of wide experience says that “a sucker is born in New York every thirty seconds.” Yes, and when he grows up he gets into the smart set The Illinois Automobilists’ Associa tion will ask uniform laws for the regulation of motorists. Without the aid or consent of any old pedestrian, gentlemen? Paul Morton and James H. Hyde -danced in the same set at Newport. Paul will soon feel his salary needs bracing up or he will be resorting to allied interests. As to the monkey that died In con sequence of being deprived of its daily allowance of coffin nails, let us try to be resigned. It was not a prom ising monkey, anyhow. Philadelphia is bragging that it is so big it takes more than one shower to cover it. Philadelphia is also so sleepy that it takes more than one thunderclap to awaken it. The Troy, N. Y., baseball team has gone on a strike. Some of the Troy “fans” are unkind enough to say that not before this season has the team’s hitting been worthy of notice. In one day recently 100 wives ap plied at the New York police courts for warrants, charging desertion on the part of their husbands. Married people should keep away from New York. "All wives,” says a woman physi cian, "should become hypnotists and put their husbands under the influ ence.” The great trouble with this scheme is that so many men are poor hypnotical subjects. A man In Pittsburg is paying a debt incurred at a game of cards by omit ting his regular daily ablutions for the space of one year. His appearance on the streets of Pittsburg, however, is not liiaely to occasion any remark. A Pittsburg spinster willed $500,000 to her old sweetheart, who had jnar ried another woman. But wait. Don’t get excited. She provided that he would have to secure a divorce from the other woman in order to get the money. A telegram from Boston says a fa mous poet of that town has broken down from overwork. Possibly he had been trying in his Bostonish way to find out why he should be criticised for making “banner” rhyme with "hozanna.” • Apparently even our foreign-born citizens quickly absorb the fine old traditions of New England. A Polish woman in Ohio, who was first beaten by her compatriots as a witch, has now disappeared. Perhaps she was burned or drowned. JolM W. Gates and John A. Drake are indulging in daily games of golf at Saratoga. The dispatches do not mention the size of the stakes, but we may safely assume that the gentle men would not think of playing for less than $l,000.«j00 a hole. A Father’s Duty. It is beginning to dawn upon the minds of men that the question of physical development generally and especially of infants in their first year oelongs to men and not to women only —to fathers in fact as well as to moth ers. In and Out ■ How silly lovers’ quarrels are^ t And yet there is no doubt That people who will fall In love Are always falling out 8ALT RHEUM ON HANDS. Suffered Agony and Had to Wear Bandages All the Time—Another Cure by Cuticura. Another cure by Cuticura is told of by Mrs. Caroline Cable, of Waupaca, Wis., in the following grateful let ter: “My husband suffered agony salt rheum on his hands, and I had to keep them bandaged all the time. We tried everything we could get, but nothing helped him until he used Cuti cura. One set of Cuticura Soap, Oinfr ment, and Pills cured him entirely, and his hands have been as smooth as possible ever since. I do hope this letter will be the means of helping some other sufferer.” It is an easier matter than most women realize to become a thorough going bore. We have all met such a woman. She will recite for hours at a stretch the troubles—real and im aginary—which she experiences with her husband, children and servants She will expound upon her own ail ments and worry you with a long story of her pains and aches. Insist on Getting It. Some grocers say they don’t keep Defiance Starch. This is because thej have a stock on hand of other brands containing Only 12 oz. in a package which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. foi the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Deflanct Starch. Requires no cooking. I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue. He approaches nearest tc the gods who knows how to be si lent, even though he is in the right.— Cato. Important to Mothers.

A bright girl asked to be absent from school half a day on the plea that company was coming. “It is my father’s half-sister and her three boys,” said the girl, anxiously, “and mother doesn't see how she can do without me, because those boys act dreadfully.” The teacher referred her to the printed list of reasons which justified absence, and asked if her case came under any of them. “Oh, yes, Miss Smith,” said the girl, eagerly, “it comes under this head,” and she pointed to the words, “Do mestic affliction.” Tommy's Explanation. Little Tommy told his mother that he thought it too rainy for him to venture forth to school, relates the New York Tribune. “But it will not be too rainy this afternoon for you to play ball, will It?” asked his mother. “No, mother,” replied little Tommy, respectfully, “because you can always play better ball in the rain than in the sunshine.” “I don’t see how, Tommy.” “■Why,” replied Tommy, “it’s be cause when it is raining there is lots of mud, and that makes it so slippery that you can slide on your stomach better." The proof of the pudding is in the eating, but indigestion corrupts good morals. WRONG SORT Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and Bread may Be Against You for a Time. A change to the right kind of food can lift one from a sick bed. A lady in Welden, 111., says: "Last Spring I became bed-fast with severe stomach trouble accompanied by sick headache. I got worse and worse until I became so low I could scarcely retain any food at all, al though I tried every kind. I had be come completely discouraged, had giv en up all hope and thought I was doomed to starve to death, till one day my husband trying to find some thing I could retain brought home some Grape-Nuts. “To my surprise the food agreed with me, digested perfectly and with out distress. I began to gain strength at once, my flesh (which had been flabby) grew firmer, my health im proved in every way and every day, and in a very few weeks I gained 20 pounds in weight. I liked Grape-Nuts so well that for 4 months I ate no other food, and always felt as well sat isfied after eating as if I had sat down to a fine banquet. "I had no return of the miserable sffek stomach nor of the headaches, that I used to have when I ate other food. I am now a well woman, doing all my own work again, and feel that life Is worth living. "Grape-Nuts food has been a god send to my family; It surely saved my life and my two.little boys hav6 thriv en on it wonderfully.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There’s a reason.

Not only do they save her hands from the ravages of the burning sun without inducing perspiration, but they are always immaculately clean and fresh. Each night the pair she has worn during the day gets its tub bath in warm soapsuds and is dry and ready for use the following day. Fabric gloves, whether in lisle or linen mesh, are so skillfully woven now that they have lost all of the scratchy feeling which has long been their objectionable feature. The girl who is peculiarly sensitive to this irri tation will find lisle gloves lined with the most supple of China silk. Fashionable shades, such as old rose and old blue, are lined with cneck silk or silk embroidered vnth polka dots or tiny flowers. Linen mesh gloves, so popular during the warm months last year, are more than ever in evidence this summer, and the stitchings on the back show most elaborate handwork in self-tone 01 contrasting shade. The New French Blouse. Never have the separate blouses seemed so altogether fascinating as at present. The sheer materials which the importer shows in such wonderful array make these waists especially attractive. The creation shown here could not fail to increase the charms Of any wearer. White crystal silk serves of the entire waist, while cava lier cuffs and stole collar are em broidered in pastel shades. Narrow black velvet in a Greek key patterns gives character to the bodice and both of these decorations are novel as well as inexpensive. Applique, guipure or the popular spangle can be used in place of the embroidery. A bodice suitable for formal occasions is effect ed by omitting plastron and cuffs. Cauliflower Soup. One fine cauliflower, two tablespoon fuls of butter rolled in one of corn starch, one onion, bunch of parsley, two blades of mace, two quarts of wa ter, two cups of milk, pepper and salt, a pinch of soda in the milk. Cut the cauliflower into bunches, reserving about a cupful of small clusters to put whole into the soup. Chop the rest, also the onion and herbs, and put on in the water with the mace. Cook an hour and then rub through a colander. Return the puree thus obtained to the pot and season with pepper and salt. As it boils, stir in the whole clusters, previously boiled tender in hot, salted water, and left to cool. When the soup Is again hot, put in the butter and cornstarch; stir until this has thick ened; pour into the tureen and add the boiling milk. Pass sliced lemon and cream crackers with it. Child's Garden Hat. A little mite of a girl Is displayed in a most wonderful creation of a gar den hat planned and made by heT own hands. The main body of the hat was composed of a large-size palm-leaf fan. The handle was removed and at that end a round scoop was cnt to form the crown; Shirred in puffs and ruches over this scooped-out portion, com pleting a puffy crown, was dainty pale blue cheesecloth. Bordering the en tire brim were full plaited ruffles and ruches of the same colored fleecy ma terial which formed a soft, becoming frame to the piquant face of the youthful wearer. Long, graceful streamers caught at either side of the back and intended to tie under the chin added a finishing touch to this dainty and exceedingly picturesque style of garden hat. .iv.» . **-*(• AV. . 1 SEWVD5 Water is quite as desirable as milk in mixing batters, and in many in stances cake is lighter if made with water rather than milk. Clean fresh eggs and clean pure milk are free from the hurtful ele ments detected by a microscopic ex amination of supposedly good meat. Starched table linen may justly be termed an abomination. A much bet ter way is to iron tablecloths and nap kins while quite damp with hot irons until perfectly dry. Unless entirely dry, it will not be at all stiff, will not show the pattern satisfactorily and will muss easily. When fresh lemons cannot be pro cured an excellent imitation of lemon ade is made as follows: Boil two pounds of loaf suger in one quart of water for fifteen minutes; then when it is cold add one ounce of citric acid and a' small bottle of lemon essence. Stir well and bottle and in vising allow two teaspoonfuls to one glass of water. Why You See Them. Many a blouse sleeve pouched at the waist is still slipping about the world, in spite of the edict which this spring banished wrist puffs in favor of balloon tops. Sometimes the reckless flying in the face of fashion is due to the fact That the wearer of the pouched sleeves cannot afford to throw last year’s blouses away, and isn’t smart enough to turn the sleeves upside down her self—which is the method of the in genious to make last year’s sleeves look like this year’s—and hasn’t yet found a dressmaker who isn’t too busy to do it for her. For where is the dressmaker who will bother turning sleeves upside down when she has got whole rafts of brand new summer gowns to make? Rnubarb Wine Recipe. Twelve quarts of rhubarb, cut and bruised into small pieces, 10 quarts of cold water, 15 pounds of sugar. Put these together and let stand three days, stirring two or three times a day. Then put into a jar or crock, and half ounce of gelatine dissolved in a little of the wine; let it stand two months, then strain and bottle. A little coloring may be added, if de sired. Without, it is white wine. . udoir HP*1 nSidence^ Green gloves are a trifle garish. The robe gown is a tremendous con venience. Everybody is wearing linen, white or colored. Patch pockets on the outing blouse are handy. There are elbow gloves in lemon yellow silk. Summer hats are already “way down” in price. In turbans the box shape and the torpedo are both fashionable. Pretty little Geisha fans for the hair are selling for 5 cents apiece. Flowers are placed on the embroid ered muslin hats as well as ribbons. What a smart little air the black velvet collar gives to a white linen jacket. Home-Made White Waist A pretty white waist which a girl has had made at home has wide em broidery for the base. This forms the back, front and cuffs of the sleeves. Four lengths of the embroidery are used, two at the back and two in the front. The scalloped edges just meet in the back; the little pearl but tons. placed one on each scallop, are fastened with little loops which are worked on the other. The front is similarly made. The scallops caught together permanently. On either side the plain edges of the embroidery are tucked yoke deep to give the neces sary fullness. The sleeves are of plain lawn above the cuffs. A little colored slip of silk is worn under the waist and a line of pale green or blue or whatever it may be rhows through the openings left *here the scallops meet and a tint of it through the ma terial. Neat Shirt Waist Suit. A neat little shirt waist suit is that of blue silk, trimmed with tucks. The bodice is made with the fronts set into the shoulder seams in pleats. The surplice is finished with bands of silk, in groups of tucks. These rever-llke fronts are joined with buttons to a plain band collar, which is made of silk and edged with a stitched band of silk. The girdle Is of crushed silk, with a blue enamel buckle. The skirt is walk ing length and its only ornamentation consists of a strip of silk in groups of tucks, the strip of tucks outlined with stitched bands of the material. Never “One Too Many.” One can never h^ve too many cush ions in the summer time and, of course, simple styles are best. A practical pillow cover, cool and fresh looking, was of cadet blue linen, show Ing a lattice of one inch wide tape two inches apart. This was not sewed down to the denim, but was caught with stitches at each square in a star design with blue cotton. The tape, looped all around, took the place of a ruffle, though a ruffle of the denim might be the finish if preferred. A ship in heavy white linen thread outlined on blue denim is effective on a boat as a pillow cover, the edges being crossed with a heavy rope-like cord. Yellow daisies scattered over a background of brown dennim is a pret ty slip for the cushion of a dull green porch chair, and the cost of either is only a trifle. Change in Hat Styles. The rapidity with which one fashion follows another in Paris is illustrated by the almost total disappearance of the little saucer hats perched on one side of the head, or, in fact, anything turned up in too exaggerated a fash ion. Among well-dressed women these are now no longer seen. On the contrary, they wear broad, flat shapes with falling lace draperies and graceful, conventional arrangements of plumee. To wear with the redlngo*^ or any form of the Directoire gar ment are high-crowned hats with nar row brims trimmed with tall plumes arranged in a bunch on one side or sometimes draping the crown. Simple Linen Waist. Blouse of linen gathered at the top to a little round yoke which is cut In one piece with the center plait, the latter ornamented on one side with buttons. The yoke, plait and little pockets are all finished with two rows of stitching. The odd sleeves are full at the top and form straps at the elbows, fast ened with buttons to the bands, which ' ? w trim the tight-fitting lower parts of the sleeves. These bands are also stitched and ornamented with buttons. Popular Russian Styles. Russian styles are holding their own and a smart model for a girl of 10 is in black and white mohair, showing an emblem worked in red on the breast and bishop sleeves brought into self cuffs. A black patent leather belt loosely confines the waist and with this frock is worn a white linen Eton collar and a red tie. Turn-back cuffs, tied with red ribbon through button holed slips, give the finishing touch to a decidedly stylish and pretty frock. This New Hat Is Pretty. A new style lingerie hat cover of linen is most attractive. The crown is original in the way it is fastened to the brim, with tabs that are secured over dainty pearl buttons. With a pretty bright colored ribbon twisted in and out through these tabs, and a quill jauntily thrust through the rib bon on one side, a chic hat covering is complete and ready for a frame. The costume at the left Is of grena dine or voile. The bolero, made with plaits at the shoulders, is bordered with a bias band of taffeta of the same shade, and with a plaiting of the same. The waistcoat is of white linen ornamented with buttons and finished with a little embroidered collar. The knot and girdle are of the taffeta and the chemisette is of batiste. The full sleeves are finished at the elbows with frills of batiste and lace and bands and knots of taffeta. The skirt is made with groups of plaits alternating with groups of box plaits and is ©n circled at the bottom with bands and plaitings of taffeta. The other cos tume is of linen embroidered with braid. The bolero, which crosses slightly in front, is embroidered with the braid and bordered with a little frill of the material or of batiste. The blouse is of batiste and the girdle oi silk. The sleeves are finished at the elbows with turnover cuffs of the material embroidered with the braid, and these are finished with frills of batiste and lace. The skirt is trim med at the bottom with baDds of the material and the braid. DIDN’T TOUCH THEM I I - “FASHION NOTES FOR MEN” WAS A FAILURE. The Women, After Momentary Digres l slon, Calmly Went on With the Discussion of Various Appropriate Wearing Apparel. After Mrs. Ponsonby had talked about dressmakers and dressmaking until Mr. Ponsonby was weary, and when Mrs. Dallington had for more than two solid hours discussed gowns, hats, wraps, corsets and feminine ap parel in general, Arthur Ponsonby flicked the ashes from his cigar and, turning to Dallington, asked: "By the way, Fred, where did you buy your shirts?" "I always get them at Creighley’s.” "Do you like his style? I think Mud gers makes the sweetest shirts I ever wore. They fit just lovely over the hips, and he seems to have a way of puttlug in sleeves that is so cunning." "Oh, I shall have to go to him when I need shirts again. Where do you get your trousers?" "Mansell always makes mine. 1 wouldn’t think of going to any one else. How much did you pay for that vest. It’s just as sweet as it can be.” "Yes, isn’t it pretty? Do you know, I bought it ready made. I very sel dom do such a thing, but it happened to Just fit me and I couldn’t resist it. Did Mansell make that coat your wearing?" I “Yes. How do you like it? Do you think it fits me just right across the shoulders?” “It’s perfect. I never saw anything sweeter. You ought to wear gray all the time. It’s really very becoming to you. What a cunning tie you have. Where do you get your ties?” “Oh, I wouldn’t think of getting a tie anywhere but at Murgenheim’s. Do you like these socks I’m wearing?” "Dear me! They’re awfully cute. I bought some new ones last week, but I like yours better than any of mine. I’m going to have a new pair of trou sers cut out just as soon as I can get around to it. What do you think would be a good style for me to get? Would you have them shirred at the knees?” “No, I don’t like them that way, I think I would have them tucked at the ends and cut full at the sides, with deckel-edged seams. Still, if you like them gathered at the top, I—” “Arthur,” exclaimed Mrs. Ponsonby, “have you suddenly gone crazy?” “Fred Dallington,” that gentleman’s wife demanded, “what in the world is the matter with you?” The men shook their heads and de nied that they had lost their wits. Being reassured, Mrs. Ponsonby asked Mrs. Dallington how she intended to have her Indian head skirt made up. “I think,” said Mrs. Dallington, “I will have it plaited both in front and behind. Do you remember that denim, of mine?” “Do you mean the pinkish one that Mrs. Blytheleigh made for you?” Defeated and shamed the two men lit fresh cigars and sat back and were silent.—S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record Herald. An Effective Sample. A clergyman was very fond of a particularly hot brand of pickles, and finding great difficulty in procuring the same at hotels when traveling, always carried a bottle with him. One day when dining at a restaurant with his pickles in front of him, a stranger sat down at the same table and with an American accent presently asked the minister to pass the pickles. The minister, who enjoyed the joke, polite ly passed the bottle, and in a few min utes had the satisfaction of seeing the Yankee watering at the eyes and gasp ing for breath. “I guess.” said the latter, ‘‘that you are a parson.” ‘‘Yes, my friend, I am,” replied the minister. ‘‘I suppose you preach?” asked tbfc Yankee. “Yes, sir; I preach twice a weex usually,” said the minister. “Do you ever preach about hell fire?” inquired the Yankee. “Yes; I sometimes consider it my duty to remind my congregation of eternal punishment," returned the min ister. “I thought so,” rejoined the Yan kee, “but you are the first of your class I ever met who carried samples.” —Tattler. An Experienced Bridegroom. When my father, the late Rev. P. B. Wilcox, was preaching in Maine, he was notified that a couple were waiting for him in the parlor, says a writer in the Boston Herald. Upon entering the room he recognized the man as a two or three times widower, and learned that the object of the vis it was matrimony. After ascertaining that the proper legal steps had been taken, my father said: “You will please rise and unite your right hands.” The man hesitated, looked at the woman, then at my father, and finally stammered: “We’ve usually sot.” Autoists Are Protected. i A London firm of automobile deal ers has organized a band of eight cy clists, armed with red flags, as a partial offset to the numerous police traps thereabouts. These wheelmen warn the occupants of motor cars just when and where to drive cautiously, and will change the scene of their op erations daily in order to circumvent the “bobbies,” who are making a good thing out of the numerous arrests for speed law infractions. _ i Cost of the North Pole. It is said that more than 4,000 lives, 200 ships and $100,000,000 have been expended at various times in efforts • to reach the north pole. On this com putation, should the goal ever be achieved, every acre in the whole are tic region will have been bought and paid for at hetter than market rates.— Omaha Fee. Transports Fruit In Vacuum. Transportation of fruits and vege tables In a vacuum Is said to have been tried successfully by a Cali fornia inventor. LOST 72 POUNDS. Was Fast Drifting Into the Fatal 8tages of Kidney Sickness. Dr. Melvin M. Page, Page Optioal Co., Erie, Pa., writes: “Taking too many iced drinks in New York in 1895 sent me home with a terrible attack of kidney tremble. I had acute congestion, sharp pain in tilt? uaun., ucau* aches and attacks of dizziness. My eyes gave out, and with the lan guor and sleep lessness of the disease upon me I wasted from 194 to 122 pounds. At the time I started using Doan's Kid ney Pills an abscess was forming on my right kidney. The trouble was qulcviy checked, however, and the treatment cured me, so that I have been well since 1896 and weigh 188 pounds." Foster-MIlburn Co.. Buffalo, N. Y. For sale by all druggists.

Drummond, Wis., Aug. 21st (Spe cial)—Whole families in Bayfield County are singing the praises of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and the*reason why is given in experiences such as that of Mr. T. T. Wold, a well-known citizen here. “I had such pains in my back that 1 did not know what to do,” says Mr. Wold, “and as I came across an adver tisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I sent for a box. That one box reliev ed me of all my pains. My wife also used them and found them Just what she needed. I recommend Dodd’s Kidr ney Pills as a sure cure for Back ache and other Kidney Troubles.” Backache Is one of the earliest symptoms of Kidney Disease. Dodd’s Kidney Pills cure it promptly and per manently and prevent it developing into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright’s Disease. Progress. “People that live in glass houses needn’t have any fear nowadays," said Uncle Allen Sparks. “There are plate glass insurance companies.” Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundfy use they will save not only time, because it never 6ticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack ages, and the price is the same, 1(> cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If vour grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures “16 ozs.” Demand De fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick ing.

We know a man who can trace his ancestors back to William the Con queror, and his ancestors would not care enough about him to trace him to the next corner. Somebody ought to write a book educating hosts and hostesses in the fact that there is a difference between entertaining people and spending money on them. One phase of ambition is that which prompts a man to own a sixty-horse power auto in a locality where he can’t use over twenty-horse power to save his life. The acme of goodness is to love the public, to study universal good, and to promote the interests of the whole world as far as lies In our power.— John Ruskin. We know one little boy who had to contend with his father, two grand fathers, four uncles and the man that lives next door for the privilege of setting off his fireworks.
