The Minneapolis & Omaha, whose
net earnings per mile for the year end
ing in June. 1907, just after the lower
rates went into effect, was $1,854.91,
and for the year ending in June, 1909,
when all freights and passengers were
moved at the lower rates. $1,899,56.
The gross earnings in Nebraska
amounted to $1,725,298.46 for th ' 1907
period, and $1,817,728.42 for 1909. The
passenger earnings for the 1907 period
amounted to $422,543.83, and for 1909,
$488,384.53. The total cost of oper
ation amounted to $1,199,581.95 in 1907
and for 1909. $1,231,933.21. The busi

for the years ending June 30, 1907 and
June 30, 1909, a year when the lower
freight rates and passenger rates were
not in force and a year when they

Joint Passenger Rates Filed.
The State Railway commission has
received a copy of the publication con
taining the passenger rates from and
to all parts of the countiy served by
the railroads doing business in Ne
braska. In this pulbication the 2-cent
fare law is recognized. It is also set
out that should a person buy a ticket
to some point in Iowa by way of Oma
ha over the Northwestern, if the fare
is equal to the fare to Omaha on that
road, the purchaser will be required
to pay only the short line rate to Oma

line.
Insurance Companies Merge.
A merger of the Farmers and
Merchants Insurance company of Lin
coln, and the Nebraska Underwriters
of Omaha, was completed Tuesday af
ternoon when Auditor Barton secured
from the directors of the Underwrit
ers, the company which loses Its
its identity in the transaction, an
agreement to tuvi over to the Farmers
and Merchants all assets and all re
serve# aside from an amount equal
to the original amount put into the
Underwriters by its promoters. The
two companies have operated in nine
teen different states.
Governor Delays Action.
Governor Shailenberger will make
no move to appoint a member of the
State Normal board to succeed Super
intendent Hays of Alliance for the pre

would wait until the time had passed
for the filing of the motion for a re
hearing in the case.
Candidates Must Answer.
The Woman’s Suffrage association
have decided to sound out every can
didate for the legislature on the propo
sition of permitting women to vote,
and they will refuse to vote for any
candidate who does not believe they
should vote. Then the association
elected the following officers: Dr.
Tnex Phllbrick, Lincoln, president;
Mrs. A. J. Marble, Table Rock, vice
president; Mrs. Jay, Lincoln, recording
secretary; Miss Mary H. Williams,
Kenesaw, corresponding secretary;
Mrs. Damaree, Roca, treasurer.
Ruling on Liquor Problem.
Should a person secure a bill of lad
ing for a Jug of whisky \which the
owner refused to take out of the sta
tion, then pay ail the costs and take
the liquor and divide it between three
other parties, each contributing a
fourth of the expense money, that per
son is guilty of violating the liquor
law, and the transaction is considered
a sale of liquor without a license. Thus
has the supreme court decided in the
case of Fred Skiles of Holdrege. He
was convicted in the lower court anc
the supreme court affirmed.
For Little Miss
By Julia Bottomley.
More attention has been given to
children's millinery within the past
three years than ever before. The re
sult is a greater number of designs
to choose from. This branch of the
allliner’s art was neglected because it
was not profitable to the milliner. Hut
now the manufacturers of hats have
begun to produce numbers of pretty
and inexpensive shapes, which may
be quickly trimmed, and the milliner
has been able to show a variety of
models at a price which her patrons
will consider.
Nothing will ever supplant the plain
■'flat" in felt as the most popular of
hats for the little girl at this season.
Next to it are the bonnet-like hats, the
mushroom shapes, with drooping brim
and full. soft, crowns. Two of these
pretty and childish models are shown
ia Figs. 1 and 2. In the first a soft
crown of velvet is very cleverly mount
ed to the brim. Six box plaits laid at
equally distant intervals are slashed
so that a collar of soft ribbon is run
through them and is finished in a rib
bon bow at the left side, toward the
back. The same ribbon is plaited in a
ruffle about the brim. Little original
touches, such as there are in trim
ming, are more valuable in making
children's millinery than any amount
of elaboration in work.
Fig. 2 shows a felt hat, faced with
white moire silk. A velvet crown is
ended with a crushed collar of silk or
ribbon, finished in the simplest of
bows. A finishing touch appears in
the two velvet cabochons which are
mounted at tho front In place of metal
ornaments. A •'beehive” shape is
shown in Fig. 3, which is covered with
si.k. The silk is shirred to fit the
shape of the crown, and the brim pre
viously covered with silk, is finished
with a plaited ruffle of this material.
A rosette of ribbon or hemmed silk
makes the decidedly pretty finish at
the left side. A knotted rope of gilt or
silver brightens the model, laid over
the brim and tacked down at inter
vals.
The plain and perennially fashion
able felt flat is shown in Fig. 4. A
concession to the vogue of full crowns
is shown in the '•Tarn” crown of velvet
which surmounts a large full puff. Bias
folds of velvet, shirred over a wire,
form a big, spreading bow at the left
front and comp’ete the model, which
embodies the best features in chil
dren’s millinery.
A felt flat which is soiled may often
be successfully cleaned with gasoline.
A certain softness in the brim is desir
able, but if this lapses into “floppi
ness” the brim must be supported by
one of several methods employing
wire. Brims which droop prettily are
touch more elegant looking and much
more becoming than a stiff, straight
biim cun ever be.
Only very simple trimmings are in
good taste for children. The models
shown here demonstrate that only the
simplest are needed. Ribbon above all
else, in the plain, soft weaves and hav
ing a high luster, is the best material
to choose in decorating a hat for the
little miss.
NEW AND DAINTY.
Here is something new and dainty
in a fall shirt made from cream de
laine with plaited fronts and sleeves
and finished with a linen collar cut in
points and embroidered with seif-color
dots. This collar is bordered with a
very narrow edging of real Irish lace
and the bodice is filled in with a
tucked collar and chemisette of white
lawn. A pretty finishing touch is giv
en. fiy a gray-blue silk tie made with
open ends. i
BLOUSES OF DRESDEN SILK
Many New and Effective Design*
Have Been Introduced by the
Costumers.
Persian silk is artfully utilized by
many blouse makers for the founda
tion over which dark chiffon falls.
The lovely design of this silk is elu
sive in its coloring, and its uncer
tainty adds a charm which is always
striven for by those who shun flagrant
or conspicuous tones.
One underblouse of Persian silk in
which green and mauve are veiled
with a sliver light is especially beau
tiful under a black chiffon bolero.
This is braided with black soutache
and falls to the top of a folded girdle
of silk. Long silk sleeves are draped
at the top with chiffon, and emerald
buttons ornament the front and back
of the girdle and the outer line of the
sleeves. Tiny black satin loops and
a small cravat'fmish this blouse.
Persian silks are rising in favor be
cause of their two-colored effects, mak
ing it possible to wear one blouse
with two different suits.
Sleeve Frills.
The tailors will again introduce the
plaited frill at the wrist of coats. This
was tried once before, but met with
little favor. The American woman in
sisted that the frill annoyed her and
that she could only stand it on elab
orate afternoon costumes.
The French women have been wear
ing it all summer to match the plait
ed frill they wore at the front of their
blouses, but the F“rench women adore
plaitings, ruffles and furbelows, and it
must be admitted that these garnish
ings do not suit altogether the Anglo
Saxon women.
A Robin Hood Hat.
It is a design that takes us back
to the merry archers, and has a cer
tain piquancy combined with durabil
ity that the sportswoman cannot re
sist.
A brim of russet beaver turns up
on the side. Above this is a full
crown of green velvet, and two feath
ers, half of beaver and half of plu
mage, rise in curved lines at the side.
Velveteen Coats.
The richness of the long velvet coat
may be almost repeated In velveteen.
This material and corduroy are both
too beautifully made to be scorned.
Velveteen never seems like an imi
tation but like a more durable quality
of velvet. This it really is. since the
weather has no ill effects upon it and
because it will outwear any velvet
that may be bought.
Lounging Frocks.
Pongee frocks that have done ser
vice alt summer may be ripped apart,
washed and pressed and then remod
eled into practical and smart lounging
robes, combined with a piece of bright
colored silk or similar goods.
There are quantities of short rem
nants of silks left over from the sum
mer sales that can be bought cheap
now, and as the gown will be worn in
the house only, neither color nor de
sign are of first importance.
The contrasting material is general
ly used for a yoke that runs down to
the edge of the gown and Itor under
sleeves, slashed draperies of the pon
gee falling over the latter.
Two New Fabrics.
Among the new materials with fan
ciful names are the Thais moire and
Alaska crepe. Both of them are^ quite
effective, but they have nothing sug
gestive of their names in the textures
However, we have such a variety of
fabrics this year that it must be diffi
cult to get names for all of them:
and we are adopting the old French
method of using the name of the hoc
for our garments and our textiles.

WORK OF A BUDDING GENIUS
Couplet That Lacked Something of
the Divine Fire, But Strikingly
Original.
The ten year-old daughter of an art
ist believes that she is destined to fill
a great place in literature, and all her
spare moments are devoted to writing
poetry about every conceivable sub
ject, according to the San Francisco
Wasp. Recently she attended her
| first chruch wedding, arid so filled with
inspiration was she that she imme
diately began to write a poem descrip
tive of the event. A few days after
ward, when her mother was entertain
ing friends, the youthful prodigy’ asked
permission to read her poem before
the guests. Her mother humored her
with not a little secref pride. Stanza
by stanza the poem progressed until
the young lady reached the point
where the description of the brides
maids was set forth. There one of
her couplets read thus:
Some had pug noses and some had
Roman.
And each wore a blue ribbon about
her abdomen.
T0RE~HIS SKIN OFF
In Shreds—Itching Wes Intense
Sleep Was Often Impossible.
Cured by Cuticura in Three Weeks.
“At first an eruption of small pus
tules ccmmeneed on my hands. Those
spread later to other parts of my body,
and the itching at times was intense,
so much so that I literally tore the
skin off in shreds in seeking relief.
The awful itching Interfered with my
work considerably, and also kepi; me
awake nights. I tried several doc
tors »nd used a number of different
ointments and lotions but received
practically no benefit. Finally 1 set
tled down to the use of Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment and Cuticnra Pills,
with the result that in a few days all
itching had ceased and in about three
w’eeks’ time all traces of my eruption
had disappeared. I have had no trou
ble of this kind since. H. A. Knits

Schools for Tuberculous Children.
Special schools for tuberculous chil
dren have now been established in
Providence, Boston, New York, Roches
ter, Washington, Hartford. Conn., Chi
cago and Pittsburg. New York has
three schools and Washington, D. C..
two. The board of education of New
York city is proposing to establish
three mcye, and similar institutions
are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark.
N. J.
In cities like Providence, Boston and
New York, where outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years, the re
suits obtained from the treatment of
children in special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad
vantage of this class of institutions
This, coupled with the experience of
open air schools in Germany and Eng
land. proves that children can be cured
of tuberculosis*and keep up with their
school work, without any danger to
fellow pupils.
Still for Equine Comradeship.
Horse owners get a pleasure from
their horses which they gel; from
nothing else. When they ride or drive
they get pleasure of gentle motion,

horse for a piece of machinery, even
though it moves faster and kicks up
more dust. The man who owns a

Refrigerated staterooms are found

that has been installed for preserving
fruit in transit.
SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.
Coffee is such a secret worker that'
It is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease, but there is a very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. It seems that he had been
using It for some time and was an
Invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the “Worm
at the root of the tree,” and ordered
it discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: “We found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
ly paid a hundred times the amount
of the doctor’s charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
“The use of Postum instead of cof
fee was begun about a year ago, and

tire of telling our friends of 1he bene
fit we have received from leaving off
coffee.”
