Modern Fashions and History.
The present season opened $ with a
rioh display of new styles , and what
makes them particularly attractive is
the fact that , for the greater part ,
they are derived from a historical
source. Thus the Louis XV and
Louis XVI , pretty conceits are seen
by the picturesque Directoire and Em
pire Costumes , and the graceful fancies
of the 1830 period all these , to be
sure , in there modern modifications and
relieved by the artislic touch of our
contemporary taste. A great freedom
of selection is , consequently , afforded
to every lady , for no single leading
style will prevent her from following
her natural taste. To fully understand
the past origin of the varied Modes of
our coming season , and the develop
ment into their present adaptions , no
surer guides could be obtained than the
McDowell Fashion Journals. "Paris
Album of Fashion" and "La Mode de
Parir" are great favorites and sell
each , for 35 cents a copy , or $3.50 a
year. "La Couturiere" has a wide sue
cess , being 30 cents a copy , or $3.00 a
year. "La Mode" is the best Home
Fashion Journal , costing onlj 15 cents
a copy , or § 1.50 per anum. They are
supplied by newsdealers , or by applying
directly to the house , at No. 4 Wes
14th Street , New York City.
The Call Leads the Procession.
We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of The Call in
another column. Since its reductioi
in price The Call is the cheapes
daily in Nebraska , and its spicy and
independent policy is too well known
to need comment from us. 'In reduc
ing the price of The' Call so as to pu
it within the reach of everybody , the
management have placed themselves a
decided step in advance of all other
publishers in the state. This is an era
of popular prices for the newspaper
and The Call is , as usual , at the heac
of the procession.

The farmers of Iowa probably are
not more trustful of strangers and un
sophisticated in the ways of this wicked
world than those elsewhere , but it is a
remarkable fact that they have allowed
lightning rod swindlers to bunco them
out of from $20,000 to $30,600 during
the past summer and are still signing
their names with singular freedom to
swindling contracts. Not only farmers ,
mt all other people should refrain from
signing papers presented to them by
iraveling strangers , whom they know
nothing about. The wonder is , not
that these sharpers should pratice such
nefarious schemes , but that they should
> e able to find anybody to practice
hem upon in an age when newspapers
are in the hands of all classes of peo-
) le. It is clear that the citizens of
his great republic are paying too much
or their lightning rods.

Fred Carter is said to be taking the
lead with that Leader shcllcr.
Chas. iMundy , that staid old lijudge"
of literary fame , is now Will Johnson's
right hand man.
Will llider has purchased the place
formerly owned by Ham Cain , and will
build thereon poon.
Herr M. iVIohler is putting up build
ings on his timber claim and will move
there tin : coming spring.
We are told that the climate at Ex
Commissioner Bolles' ranch on the
"crick" no longer agrees with him.
The J. M. Henderson farm will bu
occupied by Fred Carter whom we will
be pleased to have nearer in our midst.
.Everyone seems to be gathering corn
just now , and those chaps who always
did hustle , can be seen early and late.
That donation or pound party for
the new minister was quite a success.
Rev. Meyart was formerly located at
Palisade.
Geo. Mohler is helping A. F. Reeves
manipulate-that new corn shelter which
was purchased by the latter recently.
Here's success to you lads.
It may not be generally known nor
believed that the writer has taken unto
himself the arduous duty of raising a
boy. Our kind friends however , have
a little book telling all about it.
James Robinson expects to erect a
dwelling house on his farm , and with
that object in view has been negotiat
ing with that all around peer of politi
cal preceptors and 'jack plane pusher ,
W. M. Boillns.
Those North Divide cribs that have
been empty for these many months
are now fairly groaning under their
weight of king corn , so much so in fact
that the new one put up by Uncle
Billy Johnson has almost collapsed.

LITERARY NOTE.
"Christmas Stories of All Nations"
for the distinguishing feature of the
December number of Romance , nearly
every country which celebrates the
greatest of festival-days being repre
sented in this remarkable collection.
Here are stories of Christmas angels ,
and stories of Christmas beggars ; stories
with a laugh in every line , and stories
which touch the fount of tearp ; but
all of them pure , strong and fascinating.
There is also a variety of other tales
for those who do not care for the
Christmas element , among them a true
ghost story , a brilliant society sketch ,
the history of an interesting cat , and a
vivid picture of a southern protracted
meeting. Among the contributors to
this most interesting issue are George
Ebers , Marion Harland , Francois Copee ,
Lucy C. Lillie , Berthold Auerbach and
Alphonse Daudet. The number is an
other testimony to the judgment and
taste of the Romance's editor Mrs.
Kate Upson Clark. This magazine is
issued by Romance Publishing Com
pany , Clinton Hall , Astor Place , New
York , at 25 cents a number , or $2.50
a year ; and the Christmas number will
be sent free to subscribers for 1893.
Dr. John W. Scott , father-in-law of
President Harrison , whose life closed
at the White House Tuesday afternoon
at the great age of 1)3 ) years , led an ex
ceptionally fortunate existence. He
was born of a good family in the United
State of America , which is a piece of
jood fortune to begin with ; he received
a good , and for the time , a superior
education ; he was enabled to follow
the promptings of his conscience and
jecome a minister of the Gospel , and
ater to become an eminent teacher.
Children were born to him and he saw
them all , with one exception , grow to
> e men and women. He was given a
all and robust frame and so survived
he shock of years that he considered
limself in his physical prime at GO and
ivcd on in unabated mental vigor for
33 years. He experienced tbe sad
condition inevitable with extreme age ,
that of outliving those nearest and
dearest to him , but. save this , few
lives have ever been more full of hap
piness than his. j

Castoria 13 the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers trill consider the real
interest of their children , and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones , by forcing opium ,
morphine , soothing syrup and other hurtful
gents down their throats , thereby sending
them to premature graves. "

THE absence of the American
flag is often commented upon un
favorably by travelers in the south.
It is geunerally held to be an evi
dence of the lingering disloyalty
of that section. Northern people
will be very glad to hear that the
confederate veteran's association
of Atlanta has decided to march
hereafter under the stars and
stripes. The men who have
reached this determination are not
to be commended for it particular
ly , but the members of similar
associations in the south who have
not passed on so far towards re
construction are open to severe
criticism. If the people of the
south are really in earnest in their
expressions of loyalty , the best
way for them to show it is to fol
low the lead of these Atlanta
veterans and "old "
give glory" a
chance to flutter in the southern
breeze.
THE astonishing fact concerning 3
the wheat crop of Minnesota and
the Dakotas is that it will exceed
all estimates. The figures have
been placed at 85,000,000 to 100-
000,000 bushels , but the increase
is so rapid in every section that it
now seems probable that it will
reach to the enormous amount of
135,000,000 bushels. This is cer
tainly an agreeable surprise.
THE public debt was increased
$43,000,000 last year.
