There Is a sartorial trinity that en gages the attention of the ultra-fash- lonablo woman just now. Everybody halls the return of the little jackei. And by such Is meant not only the short tailor-made which is a compon ent part of the walking or afternoon suit , but the more elaborate little bo lero and Its kind , which seems to be ) a forerunner of spring. Whatever objections one may raise against the modes of the present day especially tunics and boleros , it must be admitted that they have their place In the plans of the wonian who must remodel her frocks from season to season to help out the wardrobe. The new boleros are used to renovate p'asse waists with startling results. Too , they are quite as smart , as the severely plain overblouses of thin ma terials , garnished with beads of laid in a series of straight hand-run lucks , that defy the skill of any save experl- diced dressmakers. A charming little bolero is made of beaded lace , with a deep cuff of fie beading and a ribbon threading thr ; neck and ending at the front In euls. Is.to Such small accessories arc easy to ncke at home , especially with the aid of the patterns that are ready for tliiMii. Hats are growing larger and with their Increased size , they arc taking : on more eccentric shapes than ever , If such be possible. Their size makes them very expensive , oven when the plainest of materials are used. At the present rate It Is certain that women of the future will be able to point to the freak styles of the frivolous women ' 'O'if men of this epoch with amazement , .if not amusement. Bands of fur are tak ing the place of silver gauzes , einbrol olor derles.-etc. , as a smart trimming for mid-winter hats. Skunk Is used a great deal , the bands being narrow , being put on where the brim com- tncd inences. The skunk Js frequently "sod with something else , however , gold braid , a ring of tiny roses , or a plait- Iten Inp of gold or white Valenciennes l&cn being admired. Lace and fur har - monize admirably and on one of tlio handsome black velvet shapes the skunk and Its garnish make a beau- tifnl picture. A suede hat , scarf and muff set In a warm brown tone Is among the lux uries of the well-gowned woman that . can be copied in less expensive pelts. They can be worn with tailored gowns designed for practical occasions , and are more serviceable than many of the mote expensive furs. The muff IB big ) and flat and has a pocket with a flap apof and "catch on the front. The hat la of Tyrolean suggestion , but not quite so high nor short brimmed. It Is ed In something the way a summer en hat is and has a band of the leather and a cockade at one side. 'BBlack velvet and aatln hats trimmed with hugo white velvet popples are exceedingly smart and consort well with almost any of the ultra-smart furs. These big white flowera , popples , edelweiss , etc. , are mllllnory concca slons to the vogue of white and ckM coinulnatlona , and In velvet or In kit appear upon some of the latest largo hate. Almost all dress hats have ik.ho en on exaggerated size , and while the toques have not been ousted largo Bhupes are creeping In for the more aovero atreet mllllnory. Very often the trimming , whether of street hat or dress hat , Is of the simplest aort , the cachet of the hat being loft to the line and material , but even so the hats are not cheap , for the untrlmmcd shapes In material good enough to give llstlnctlon are distressingly expensive. The one ornament , too , must ho know- ugly placed If the hat Is to have the right air , but the clover woman can mt her own lint together more suc cessfully than usual this season If shu vlll but pick out r.omc one of the aim- lily ( rimmed models and follow its guidance. Of course ono can not find lie exclusive shapes untrlnuned In the ; hops , but ono can usually llnd some- hlng approximating the lines dealrcd. Long coats , which entirely envelop the figure are among the smartest of smart modes. They are made of vel veteen and velvet and , of course of fur , which Is rather too luxurious con alderatlon for the woinan of average dress allowance , 'xcept she use some of the exclusive inodela for a pattern n having her less expensive garment iiado up. Many chic models have fur associated with the velvet or velvet con , and here , of course the door Is opened for all kinds of extravagance , as well as for the most rigid economy compatible with artistic taste. Some of the truly fashionable pelts are com paratively cheap , Austrian possum , which the French call "Pntols" and which with red fox may -hold the place as the fad fur this season , Is very of ten used to trim the handsome long coat of velvet , and the red fox just mentioned , which Is at Us best with black , forma collar and cuffs for some extremely good looking models , The fancy for wide band trimmings around the hips , a mode trying to any save the slenderest figures , makes it- self felt In certain of the long coats of velvet and velveteen , the band usually taking the form of handsome heavy embroidery in black silks and braids , although the very wide black braids are sometimes used. The short suit coat , too , often shows this wide hip trimming , tlio wide and beautiful silk braids being the usual garnitures In tills case , though embroidery with narrow - row braids , cords or heavy silks may be employed. Parisian makers show much enthusiasm for the now wide braids , some ofhich run from eight een to twenty Inches In width , and use them both for coat and skirt bands upon skirt and coat costumes of vel vet , velveteen , zlbellne , serge , ratteen , etc. Apropos of ratteen , which Is very modish this fall , its wearing qualities are proving far from satisfactory , the rather rough surface growing matted and dull too quickly to please women who expect good service from their tailor suits. Very good looking skirt and coat models are constructed of this material , however , particularly in whites and such light tones as honey , butter , mustard , etc. , within relief in Dlack velvet braid or dark fur. The little French cape or "camall" which fits the shoulders as though moulded to them and usually slopes lownward from the throat In front to girdle depth in the bark affords an op portunity for adding a new fur trim ming touch , the little cape being made sometimes entirely of fur , trimmed with its own material. School Notes. Supt. W. T. Stockdale of Madison visited schools Friday afternoon. He spent his time at the Grant and at the high school building.

W. Hire , county attorney , showing why the defendant should not bo removed from office be cause of refusing to prosecute Leu Grcggorson on the charge of murder ing Nels Pedersen at his home on August 13 last , occupied the attention - j tion of District Judge Welch from Fri day afternoon , including a night ses sion until after fl o'clock and until precisely the noon hour of yesterday. On the requcht of the attorney of the plaintiff the case was not tried before a jury , but submitted before the court. A large number of witnesses were examined from the southwest portion of the county in support of the plain tiff and his attorney , M. C. Bacon. In behalf of Attorney Rice , County Coroner Conwell of this city , Dr. Pet erson and Dr. Paul Conwoll of Elgin , who were present at the autopsy held over the1 remains of Mr. Pedersen , all testified that the direct cause of death was due to strangulation , as shown by the condition of the lungs , .hoy being filled with clotted blood , find would under no other conditions liave existed had tbo man been nuir- Jercd and then a rope looped around his neck , and placed in the position as found by neighbors.

The costs In this case amounted In the neighborhood of $140 , which Is taxed up to the plaintiff. . - . . - A Blind Pig Near Norfolk ? Norfolk drinking men on the "black list" of local saloons , and minors , are receiving liquor from a "blind pig" conducted by a party on J3ast Norfolk avenue , who also gets a good trade from men who are unable to obtain j i liquor frqm Norfolk saloons after 8 o'clock.

After years of hard toll and frugality they are now living u peaceful life , surrounded by their children and grandchildren and with till the comforts and luxuries they de- sire. But they have both passed through the privations of frontier life In Nebraska , such aa is found In the . history of the state nearly forty years ago , when this part of the common- wealth was sparsely settled and whol- 11 Iy undeveloped. They have felt the yearning for the " " j homo "back cast" and have braved the storms and bllz- zards that meant possible death to all who dwelt In the poorly constructed homes of the early settlers ; but through all the disheartening years of scant crops , Indifferent shelter , little money and nothing but the barest ne cessities , they kept a stout heart , laboring - boring to bring up their children as useful citizens , and with a hope of obtaining a competency for old age How well they have succeeded Is shown by thdlr present affluent con dltlon and the good standing of their four living children In the community , They are "reaping as they have sown" and all their neighbors are gratified to know of their success.
