but a voile, while It may be made dainty
enough for formal occasions, may be worn
at many times when a silk of the radium
type would seem too elaborate.
The one-tone fine stripes and checks In
the very sheer voiles are particularly well
liked and the moat fashionable dressmakers
are making up Innumerable frocks In such
materials and In the extremely light shades
white, ecru, straw color, rose, the deli
cate blues and mauves and grays and
greens, etc. There are good effects, too. In
the two-tone voiles, with fine line stripes
and chocks, but these are considered hardly
so chic as the one-tone checks and stripes.
Several of these thin voile costumes were
In hand In the work rooms of one of the
most successful dressmakers last week,
and were examined with considerable In
terest, because of the fashion In which
they combined modlahness and utility.
Three of them were three-piece models,
having skirt, bodice and little ooat, but
the bodice In each Instance was chiefly of
lace and lingerie material and the coat
was a'yvague, fanciful little affair scarcely
deserving the name of coat.
Borne Smart Models,
One model In a delicate hydrangea blue
waa in plain voile, trimmed In taffeta
silk and dyed diet lace. The skirt had a
deep hem of taffeta beaded by a band of
blue filet of handsome darned-ln design,
and the upper edge of the lace was outlined
by a narrow band of the silk, above which
were set five other narrow bands at three-quarter-inch
Intervals, the group of narrow
bands, taken together, achieving a width
equal to that of the deep silk hem.
At certain repeated figures In the design
of the laoa band were set tiny pendent silk
tassels of blue and whits. The bodice of
dyed fllet was trimmed In bands of silk
and little tassels and a very short loose
kimono coat of voile, trimmed to match
the skirt, and showing almost the entire
bodice sleeve of blue filet and creamy
Valenciennes, added to the plcturesqueneas
of the costume rather than to Its warmth.
TUCKED CHIFFON AND BILK.
A white chiffon voile In one-tone stripe
was trimmed In heavily embroidered white
linen and laoa and a clel blue In the same
sort of stripe bad a hand made openwork
top.
Still another chiffon voile was of so faint
a gray that It was almost white and was
made over a white silk, striped in onion
brown. The chiffon waa embroidered in
self-tone and touches of several shades of
light yellow brown were Introduced In the
trimming.
Simpler voile frocks than these are nu-

both are very thin, are made In designs

Nnrses Have Basy Month.
The past month has been a busy on with
the Visiting Nurses association, about 400
visits having been made among the sick
poor of the city. Forty-seven patients were
cared for and special nurses were required
in a number of cases. During the business
hour Mrs. S. R. Town, first president of
the association, was made an honorary
member of the board of directors for life.

Nebraska Women Boem Temperance.
Th revival of temperance Interest among
Nebraska women Is beginning to have its
effect outside the state aa well as at home.

beneficiaries of their seal. The recent Issue
of th Temple Appeal, Issued In the inter

to Nebraskai
Forty-two pledges have been received
since our last issue. Of this number nine
are $100 pledge, a larger number than
we have ever before received In a month.
Nebraska Is the banner state; It has out
stripped Illinois by a bold spurt and dashed
ahead. Last month Illinois had ten names
on club 6, and Nebraska had nine names
on club t. Now the count stands. Ne
braska has completed clubs 6 and 7 and has
five namea on club 8, while Illinois has
four namos on club 7. Nebraska, there
fore, la eleven counts ahead on the Ten,
Ten club. Besides this, Nebraska has sent
In seven pledges of $100 each the last month
and one pledge on No. 1 United State Hun
dred Dollar club some months ago. Illinois
has sent In five $100 pledges on this club.
For the present, however, we will lift our
hat to Nebraska.
Editorially, Mrs. Cars, at the head of
the temple work, says In th Tempi Ap
peal: The temple boom In pledge still con
tinues, the number being about the same

SECRETARY TAFT AT PONCE
Head of War Department Talks to
Porto Rteans on S abject of
Cltlsenshlo.
PONCE. P. R-, April U. Secretary Taft
and his party. Governor Wlnthrop and the
insular officials accompanying them, arrived
here yesterday afternoon. A banquet In
honor of the secretary was given by th
city kvst night. The speech of welcome
was delivered by Augusto Oautler, presl
dent of the city council. Senor Gautler
complimented Governor Wlnthrop on th
excellent work done during his tenure of
office. Governor Wlnthrop expressed grati
tude for the confidence of the people and
promised always to lend his aid In matters
affecting the Island.
Hermlnio Dlas of the executive council
made a long speech, in which he Introduced
Secretary Taft. He mad a strong plea
for cltlxenshtp and expressed the hop that
Secretary Taft would unit with President
Roosevelt against Speaker Cannon, who
when here recently gave the Porto Rlcans
little hope In the matter of citizenship.
Secretaary Taft replied, saying. In part:
"Again I am urged to make a specific
declaration regarding the policy of th
United States toward the people of Porto
Rico. I am only a humble member of
President Roosevelt's cabinet. Whatever I
may think or whatever I may do are mat
ters of little Importance to the people of
this Island. I can only Invoke your atten
tion to the fact that President Roosevelt
has visited Porto Rico and the Island has
been visited by Mr. Root, the secretary of
state, and by Mr. Cannon, speaker of th
house of representatives, and In soma re
spects the most powerful man In the re
public. President Roosevelt has recom
mended that cltlxenshtp be given, but there
have been oongresslonal difficulties with
reference to this matter. I am not dealing
with generalities, . but with the concrete
facts. I ask what la It a Porto Rlcaa Is
not guaranteed that an American enjoys.
i Tou have every guarantee a cltlsen of th
United States enjoys. . Tou have th habeas
corpus and a trial by a Jury, and when
you are In a foreign country the same flag
protects you that protects a cltlsen of the
United States. Therefore, while President
Roosevelt urges citizenship, he urges It on
the ground of gratifying th sentiment of
th cltlsens of this Island. But when you
oome to examine th facts of what you
ask, th question Is whether It I not nom
inal rather than substantial."
Secretary Taft was cheered at the close
of his remarks. Mr. Taft and his party left
today for Guayama.
MISSOURI RATE CASE ENDS

law, was ended today The hearing has

During the cross-examination of C. L
Sturgls, general auditor of the Burlington,
today. Attorney General Hadley brought
out In evidence the alleged fact that freight
rate are much higher tn Missouri than
in other states, and should b reduced.
The evidence showed that 12 per cent of
the total mileage of this road la In Mis
souri, that 17 per cent of th car mileage
of the entire system Is In Missouri and
that Missouri produced 22 per cent of th
gross earnings of the road.
Auditor Sturgis contended that th
revenue and expenses should be considered
In making th freight, rates. Attorney
General Hadley argues that the freight
rates should be determined on the mileage
tonnage basis.

CHURCH PLANS LOOK GOOD
f po:fiotiosi for C Initial foienes Build-
in Freitsted t lumbers.
SOME MINOR CHANGES MAY BE MADE
Alteration Ar Suggested Because of
the Increase Cost In Stractnr
Decided on by Con
or regatlon.
Th tentative pians for the proposed new
church for the Christian Scientists were
exhibited and explained Wednesday even
ing at Chambers' academy by Architect
Frederick Clarke to a large number of
member of the congregation. The plans
were shown by a stereoptlcon and the
members present thanked Mr. Clarke for
his unique presentation of the proposed
plana The specifications will be submitted
to the building committee of the church
for acceptance or alteration and it Is prob
able several change will be made.
As originally planned an expenditure of
only IfiO.OOO for th new church was con
templated, but the cost of the present
structure would be about 190,000. and
changes may prove necessary.
The present plans, as outlined In The
Be a few days ago, provide for th erec
tion of a magnificent church edifice. The
building will be along subdued classic
lines, with a large portico and entrance.
an ample dome on the roof and a large
auditorium on the second floor of the
structure, with th Sunday school and re
tiring rooms on the first floor.
Artesian Well for Hotel.
For the purpose of drilling an artesian
well to furnish a supply of water for the
new Rom hotel, derrick are being erected
near Fifteenth and Howard streets by the
contractors, who drove the artesian well
for the new Young Men's Christian associ
ation building and work will begin as
soon as the engine and driving machinery
la rigged.
The success attending th artesian well
of the Toung Men's Christian association,
which was driven to a depth of 1.134 feet and
furnishes a large flow of pure water, at
tracted the consideration by Rome Miller
of the well for his new hostelry. Th well,
It Is said, would be a matter of great
economy for th new hotel, which will use
large quantities of water and the Initial
expense In Installing the well would be
mora than offset by later benefits derived.
Architect Latenscr Is doubtful If a suf
ficient flow of water can be obtained by
the artesian well, but Is hopeful that the
well will equal or surpass that of the
Toung Men's Christian association by
giving a surface flow. This Is not had from
th association well on account of the
elevation of th building site and It la
necessary to pump the water several feet
from below the surface by a compressed
air pump.
The Rom hotel Is situated on much lower
ground and. for this reason, tt Is deemed
probable a well with a surface flow can
b secured.

orate banquet, and the affair promises to
mark the return of many similarly enjoy
able affairs In the future life of the ex
change. The Invited guests of the evening were
John L. Kennedy and E. C. Page, recently
appointed members of the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners. Mr. Kennedy
addressed the assemhlnge briefly on the
question of railroad rate legislation with
regard to the efforts of Omaha produce
dealers tn effectually protesting against the
action of the express companies In en
croaching upon the legitimate trade of deal
ers. "Tou ought to remember that to have
reasonable rates you must have equal
rates," said Mr. Kennedy. "No system of
rebates can give reasonable rates unless
all stand on an equal basis for low rates
to one means equally higher rates to an
other. This rate regulation legislation is
In lta Infancy, and when you have forced
even distribution of the burdens of trans
portation your next step Is to nforce rea
sonable rates. Common carriers have no
business dealing In commodities they trans
port, and If you do not drive the express
companies out of the produce buslnes they
will drive you out.
W. W. Bingham spoke on the subject,
"Thirty Tears Ago." and said during the
early day of produce dealing he could
remember when eggs were not salable at
any price and butter sold for S cents a
pound.
E. B. Brsnch, secretary of the Western
Fruit Jobbers association, outlined the re
cent Interstate commerce law of June,
1S0S, and told of the work accomplished
by his exchange and the results antici
pated. B. C. Page gave an Interesting delineation
of the growth of Omaha and gave It as
his opinion that the Omaha Produce ex
change and similar organisations hsd aided
materially In this growth. "Organizations
of this character have sprung up In our
city and have united the Interest and vi
talized the business men," said Mr. Page.
Other speeches were made by H. D. Fry,
Joseph Ruahton, Louis Klrschbraum and
A. G. Neeley, and the banquet closed with
Toastmaster Cole lending In three resound
ing cheers for the exchange and Its Indi
vidual members, with the hope that they
would all long endure for the future wel
fare of a "Greater Omaha."
