-The » Sterling Standard prints a
histo ry and descriptio n o f the Dix o n
ho spital with a cut o f the building and
urges the peo ple o f Sterling to imitate
o ur citizens in such wo rk, suggesting
that instead o f building mo re churches
that city sho uld erect a ho spital.

-The Pro phetsto wn Spike has this
to say o f o ur fo rmer citizen:
W. J.
Tho mpso n to day o pens a fine sto ck o f
dry go o ds in the new Cleav eland » to re
building.
Mr. Tho mpso n is an up-to -
date genial business man and is no t o f
the stay -a-mo nth » o rt.
He intends to
lo cate here permanently and ask,» fo r a
share o f the patro nage o f o ur peo ple.

—The Mendo ta Repo rter do es no t
credit the repo rt published in the Am­
bo y Jo urnal that Wm. Englehard lo st
by burglars sev enteen hundred do llars
j
in co ld cash that he drew fro m a Men­
do ta bank and secreted in his ho use
so uth o f Pawpaw; fo r the simple reas­
o n that no such sum was drawn by
William fro m any Mendo ta bank, a»
the Mendo ta edito r learns by inv estiga- j
tio n.

It w ill be remembered that in 181M a

l i n e o f electric r ai l w ay was pro jected

fr o m Dix o n
to
Ro ckfo rd and
a
co mpany o rganized under letters o f in ­
co rpo ratio n by the state, under the
name o f the Ro ck Riv er Electric Rail­
way Co mpany .
So me o f o ur » leading
citizens were o fficially interested: a
franchise was asked fo r and granted
by the city : a ro ute surv ey ed and right
o f way Secured thro ugh that po rtio n o f
this co unty to be trav ersed, and ev ery ­
thing appeared fav o rable fo r a time
fo r the pro po sed electric traffic and
trav el co nnectio n o f
Ro ckfo rd
and
Dix o n, by way o f Orego n, thro ugh the
heart o f the beautiful Ro ck Riv er v al­
ley .
But at this junctio n a clo ud lo o m­
ed up o n the ho rizo n, which spread
o v er the financial sky .
The last y ears
o f the o utgo ing administratio n were
y ears o f gro wing depressio n, and the
stringency drew so tight the purse
strings o f the mo nied men o f the East
that it was impo ssible to secure the
necessary capital fo r the inauguratio n
o f this o r any o ther new enterprise.
Besides, when institutio ns which had
flo urished fo r twenty y ears under a
Republican administratio n
were no
lo nger pay ing a div idend: when banks
were failing and building enterprises
sto pped; when the party in po wer was
threatening the-further demo ralizatio n
o f business by debasing o ur currency ,—
the scheme which, under o ther circum­
stances wo uld hav e been a reaso nable
and a feasible o ne, wo uld hav e been
Uto pian in the ex treme.
The plans
fo r an electric rail wav between Dix o n
and Ro ckfo rd were therefo re tempo r­
arily laid aside to await a mo re pro ­
pitio us seaso n and mo re fav o rable in-
v iro nment. That seaso n is at hand.
The skies are clearing, trade is rev iv ­
ing,
new enterprises
are starting,
building is pro gressing,
the
purse
strings o f the capitalists hav e lo o sened
and mo ney is seeking inv estment and
can be o btained in abundance o n the
mo st fav o rable terms.
The d e s i r a b i l ­
ity o f the ro ad has been tho ro ughly
canv assed and admitted.
1 he pro s­
pect o f its financial success was claimed
by the management mder less fav o ra­
ble circumstances than tho se which
no w surro und it.
May we no t, there­
fo re, no w ho pe to »00 this enterprise
taken . * and at o nce pushed to co m­
pletio n.
The ho pe is especially pertinent just
no w, as we see by recent ex changes
that the pro po sed electric railway co n­
necting Jamo sv ille and
Ro ckfo rd
is
getting o ut o f the abstract into the
co ncrete.
Pro jecto rs
o f this line
pro mise that po ssibly by spring these
cities will be co nnected by swiftly mo v ­
ing tro lly cars, say s the Belo it News.
The right o f way has been secured fro m
Ro ckfo rd to Belo it, and when co m­
pleted fro m
that po int to James-
v ille, the wo rk o f co nstructio n will
be co mmenced. The ro ad to Belo it will
keep in v iew the beautiful riv er nearly
the who le way , thus fo llo wing the idea
in the surv ey o l the ro ad fro m Ro ck­

fo rd to Dix o n.
Ev entually it is the in­

t e n t i o n to co ntinue the line o n to Mad­
iso n; at present, ho wev er, the line will
o nly be e x t e n d e d no rth to Janesv ille.
When c o m p l e t e d , cars will run each
way between the two cities e v e r y ho ur

a n d in additio n to passenger and bag­

g a g e serv ice will hav e a quick and
safe mail and e x p r e s s serv ice.
if ev ­

e r y t h i n g go es s m o o t h l y and the city
co uncils are no t slo w to grant fran­
chise« , the ro ad will be co nstructed
this winter and be ready fo r o peratio n

in March.
In co mmenting o n this, the Ggle
Co unty Republican o f Orego n, say s
that the gentlemeu who hav e the mat­
ter in charge, and who represent a j
co mpany which has sev eral similar «
ro ads ,iri succeHsful
o peratio n, hav e ,
. pro mised a v isit to Orego n in a few
day » to lo o k o v er what it turn to o f-
, fer a- an inducement to co ntinue the
! line to that city , and pro bably to Dix o n.
1 and to lo o k ev er the pro po sed ro utes
and estimate t he ex pense o f building
| the same.
Orego n has felt fo r y ears
1 the necessity o f getting in to uch with
! the o utside wo rld and will o iTer ev ery
po ssible inducement to get into the cur­
rent if there be a po ssible chance to
better its co nditio n.
We ho pe that the Ro ck Riv er Elec­
tric Railway Co mpany (with o fficers in
Ro ckfo rd, Orego n and
Dix o n) which
has already do ne so much o f the pre­
liminary wo rk fo r a direct railway
co nnectio n between Dix o n and Ro ck­
fo rd, will at o nce take the matter up,

Every Wh y Has a Wh erefo re an d ’ T is
Well to Lo o k fo r It.

In these day s people want to know the
W hy s and wherefores.
The 19 th century man is a natural
-keptic.
T he why and wherefore of such is
plain.
lie reads
statem ents
of supposed
facts.
He is told every ailm ent can be cur­
ed.
He tries some panacea.
It fails: he tries another with the
same result.
Such ex perim ents make him lo o k ask­
ant at future claim s.
Often the fault is his, but he don’t see
why .
He may have a backache or perhaps
a lam e or weak back.

H e used plasters or liniments, they
relieved him for a time, but failed to
cure the trouble.
This is his fault,: then why is it that
he did not know the wherefore of his
aches.
Had he known that tfie kidney s were
the cause.
T hat backache generally means kid­
ney ache.
T hat the kidney s rau^t filter the
blood.
That failure to do » o effects the back.
T hat backache is only the first step
toward many kidney disorders.
□ U rinary troubles follow.
Retention
of urin,
Ex cessive urin,
Diabetes.—
Bright's disease.
D oan’s Kidney Pills are a positive
specific for all kidney complaints.

tion.

T he team of B e r k e r t A lb r ight, of
Bradford township, b ecam e frighten ed
while near the elevator a t F r a n k lin
Grove this afternoon, and ra n away,
throwing Mr.
A lb r ight ou t of
the
wagon, the wheels of which passed
over his head, severely in ju rin g him.

in a slow going ship b ou nd for New
York, and while she was somewhere in
m id-Atlantic the w ar of 1H12 b etween
England and the United States b roke
ou t.
The ship when nearing ou r seab oard
was
overtaken b y a British cru iser,
which pu t her ab ou t and escorted her to
Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The officer in
command of tin* cru iser declared his in ­
tention of impressing sailors and sol­
diers from among the passengers.
A
mother having more than two sons
wou ld have to give u p all over tha t
nu mb er who m ight b e availab le for
military or naval service.
Mrs. K irk­
patrick, who was a qu ick witted w om ­
an, instantly planned a ru se which she
ju stified m her own m ind b y calling it
ru se de gu erre (a trick of war).
8lio
stood two sons in one part of the ship
and two ii. another and was accepted,
withou t detection, as the m othercf b oth
pairs, thou gh she called herself K irk ­
patrick in one instance and Kilpatrick
in the other.
After they disemb arked the deception
had to b o kept u p, as they were con­
s ta n tly u nder the eyes of British officers.
The interception b y the cru iser resu lted
in the family settling in Halifax instead
of in the United states, b u t even aft« r
peace was restored the two Kirkpatrick
b oys fou nd it mu ch harder to get their
name b ack than it had b « « en to exchange
it on shipb oard. In fact, they never got
it b ack.
Those who had come to know them
as Kilpatricks refu sed to know th« m as
Kirkpatricks, and in the cou rse of time
the effort to reclaim the family name
was ab andoned as hopeless.
The varia­
tion in prefix made expedient pro tern,
b y the intermeddling cru iser seems to
have b een ordained to continu e siu e
die.— H a rpe r’s Hou nd Tab le.

T rick s o n th e T e ach er s.
The o ther day a pupil in o ne o f tho
public scho o ls asked tin; teacher to do a
little example in grammar, and since
then what sco rned at first to be a simple
pro blem has had the serio us co nsidera­
tio n o f all rhn pedago gues in the co m­
munity, and it has been unanimo usly
agreed that there is 110 rule in grammar
to co ver the po int raised.
The yo ung­
ster’s pro po sitio n was this:
“ It is two miles to Wo o dfo rda. No w,
please
write
under
that
sentence,
‘There are two two s in the abo ve sen­
tence.’ ”
That is what tho bo y said.
He did
no t submit the pro blem in writing, and
when the t< o cher tried to fo llo w his
injunctio n she fo und o ut the reaso n
why. It dawned o n her that there were
no t two two s, neither were there two
to s, and ho w to express in writing what
was easy eno ugh to do verbally she as­
certained to be impo ssible.
The bo y respo nsible fo r the fo rego ing
must be a near relative to the yo uth
who asked his teacher ho w to spell
paris green, and when
she replied,
*P-a-r par, i-s. paris, g-r-e-e-u, green;
paris green,” reto rted:
“ No ; yo u’re wro ng.
Yo u can’t spell
paris green, o r blue, o r any o ther co lo r.
Yo u can’t spell it anything but pans.”

merits, so she abandoned that idea, much
to the disappointment of her friends.
W hile visiting in Centerville, la., she
became interested in and joined the W.
C. T. [ J. On learning of the temple debt
she resolved to devote her time, w ith ­
out compensation, to the cause of the
tem ple fund until the building be freed
from debt.
This summer Miss Shontz
has been on a number of Chautauqua
assembly programmes, and everywhere
has been received w ith great enthusi­
asm.
A lready she has invitations from
Cleveland, Des Moines and Om aha to
address mass meetings in the interest of
her cause, and those who know her best
believe she w ill double the amount she
started to raise.— C hicago Times-Her-

In width the belt for next season’s
w ear shows a decided increase. The nar­
row est shown are tw o generous inches
in width, w h ile the widest are deep gir­
dles reaching half the distance between
the arms and the w aist lino.
M aterials
for belts are more varied than ever be­
fore. A ll sorts and colors of leather w ill
be used, w h ile the fabric belts w ill in­
clude even those of velvet. V elv et belts
are, as a rule, several inches in w idth
and fastened by leather straps and leath­
er covered buckles. T hey are not partic­
u la rly elegant
and
certainly add to
rather than take from the size of the
w’aist.
That one quality is considered
by the dealers sufficient to prevent their
w ide popularity, though they are among
the very latest things 111 belts.
In leather blank and the m an y shades
of brown promise to almost supersede
the m any bright shades of green, blue
and red so popular during the last two
seasons.
The buckles of these belts are
likew ise much less conspicuous.
The
harness buckle in glarin g silver or gilt
w ill not be used, and when not leather
covered to match the m aterial of the
belt the bnckle w ill be of metal and
almost as inconspicuous.
Jeweled buckles in silver, polished
or rough finished, in silver gilt or solid
gold w ill be used only w ith silk or sat­
in beltings.
These new buckles all call
for belts tw o inches and upward in
width. They are made in many new de­
signs. There are buckles for the bicycle
girl, the athletic girl, the yachting girl,
the skating
girl,
the golf
girl, the
horsy girl, the m ilitary girl, the danc­
in g girl and even the old fashioned girl,
w ho is supposed to like things plain but
elegant.
Metal belts w ill be as much
used as ever.
The newest designs are
a ll made wider, though not sufficiently
so to be uncomfortable or clum sy look­
ing. M any of them show a profusion of
jew els, and the most stylish ones are
very ornate.
An especially pretty belt
o f this kind was a succession of silver
shells enameled in natural colors and
connected by tiny silver links made to
resemble bits of seaweed.
Another was
a string of English daisies w ith je w e l­
ed centers and petals of polished silver.
T he connecting links were of silver,
green enameled, giv in g just a sugges­
tion of foliage.
For fancy girdles satin and taffeta
silk are the favorite materials.
They
are made w ith points, either before or
behind, or both, w hile some are plain,
fastening in front,
just a little to the
left, w ith
a
large
upstanding bow.
Other girdles, bo deep as to only need
the addition of shoulder straps to serve
as bodices, are made of bias silk or
satin, fit as snugly to the w aist as pos­
sible and are closed at the seam under
the arm. These deep girdles are becom­
ing to slender women, and especially
those lacking in w ell developed busts.
Stouter women w ill stick to the 2 inch
belt, narrow under the arms and w iden­
ing to a point in front and behind.—

A fter w earing thin muslins and silks
cloth gown, if the day be cool, looks
ery smart and “ trim ” and much more
nished than the thin gowns, so all
omplete smiimer outfits include two or
lore costumes of this description.
A
harming gown intended for cool days
t Newport and for Lenox later on is
f tan cloth,
a light golden brown.
Lcross the top of the front breadth is a

deep pattern of braiding, which extends
over the hips and narrows to a jo in t at
the back, where the fullness of
the
skirt is laid in deep turned under plaits.
On the side of the back breadths is also
braiding, which extends from the belt
to the hem.
This braiding is in gold
and tan. The w aist is a casaque with an
exaggeratedly short frill and is a mass
of braiding. Knffies of cream lace show
between the fronts of the jacket, and
the belt and turned over collar are of
black satin.
Another gown, which, to
use a tailor’s expression, is “ built 011
the
same
lines,”
is of
bright blue
smooth cloth w ith braiding of black
and silver,
but the waist is a short
jacket w ith w ide turued over collar and
pointed revers of white cloth.
It
is
claimed this w hite cloth can be cleaned
by some preparation of pipe clay, and
it is the same material that is used for
m ilitary uniforms.
The w hite facings
against the blue are most effective and
make the gown very smart.
I11 royal purple a charm ing costume
is made w ith the skirt trimmed w ith
many rows of black braid of different
w idths, and the jacket, w hich is tight
fitting, is also braided.
The fronts of
the jacket do not meet anil are finished
w ith rows of round gilt buttons, over
which are placed lacings w hich hold
the jacket together and yet reveal a
glimpse of a purple and w h ite blouse
iron t.
A light gray poplin is made on most
charming lines.
The skirt, w h ich has
live gores, has each seam outlined w ith
a piping of w hite satin.
The waist is
tigh t lit ting in the back, but iu front is
draped in loose, graceful folds of white
satin and has a bolero jacket of w hite
lace.
The lower part of the sleeve is
shirred, but the top is puffed.
With
this costume is worn a bonnet of black
straw, w ith a wide, high brim and nar­
row crown, trim m ed w ith a bunch of
w h ite ostrich tips and w hite satin rib­
bon. Bonnet strings of the w h ite ribbon
are tied under the chin and give a de­
cidedly old fashioned, picturesque look
that is very effective.— H arper’s Bazar.

T h e W o m a n Lib rarian .
A m ong the professional avenues that
the recent movement for the advance­
ment of women has opened there is
none that offers greater opportunities
for her peculiar talents or is
better
adapted to her physically, besides g iv ­
ing
her a certain social position and a
lucrative salary, than the n ew ly devel­
oped profession of librarian. The w ider
scope and higher aims, combined w ith
the perfect system of the modern libra­
rian, have converted this callin g into a
profession requiring a special collegiate
course.
This need has been supplied by
the establishment of a number of schools
devoted to this specific training.
There
are as yet only four of these, w ith a
strictly lim ited membership admitted
after a collegiate standard examination.
One is at A lbany, known as the N a­
tional
school
and
supported
by the
Am erican Library association,
which
fittingly celebrates its twenty-first an­
niversary in Philadelphia, having had
its inception there in the rooms of the
Historical society.
The next in impor­
tance is the Drcxel
institute library
class,
under the efficient tutelage of
Miss Kroeger. T he other tw o are at the
Arm our institute, Chicago, and the Los
A ngeles P ublic Library school. There is
also a summer class at Am herst, Mass.
O ut of the 70 0 members of tlie A m eri­
can Library association the large m a­
jority are women.
There are various
reasons w h y this calling is pre-eminent­
ly a w om an ’s. The bump of order seems
to be much more developed in a woman
than it does in the sterner sex.
The
work requires patience and promptness,
tw o virtues w hich women possess in a
high degree, and does not require hard
physical labor. They are not exposed to
the same unpleasant influences and the
liability of discourteous treatment that
falls too often to the share of the women
in the mercantile world.
Besides all
this she comes in contact w ith a more
intellectual
and
cultivated
class
of
people, and in this one profession there
is really no salaried discrimination on
account of sex, for she receives an ade­
quate compensation. The foregoing has
been demonstrated practically by the
fart that as the more important posi­
tions become vacant, even though pre­
viously
filled
by men, or new ones
created women have almost invariably
received
the
appointments.— Boston
Transcript.

Go HHtiiing W o m en.

There is lam enting in certain quar­
ters because iu the case of leisure class
women latter day opportunities, includ­
ing collegiate education, have not pre­
vailed against the propensity the deni­
zens of V an ity Fair have for m aking
mince meat of one another on occasion.
It is claimed there is no softening of
the
sternly critical
attitude
women
m aintain toward each other in matters

doir and piazza talk is quite as spiteful
as before the advent of the higher ed u ­
cation for women. Just w h y booklearu-

rect w om an ’s habit of flaw picking is
not clear, unless it was supposed that
au acquaintance w ith knowledge would
suggest to her other and more w orthy
topics of conversation than the short­
com ings of her associates.
Be this as it
may, the disposition to decry which is
characteristic of the whole race, irre­
spective of sex or nationality, is an in­
heritance too strongly intrenched in the
very fiber of the species to be eradicated
by college going for one generation or
by 1 ,9 0 0 years of religious teaching the
burden of whose gospel has been, “ Love
thy neighbor as thyself. ”
Nothing supplies
more
convincing
proof of the truth of the theory of evo­
lution than this w ell nigh universal
habit of proclaiming the beams in oth­
ers’ eyes.
It indicates a lusty survival
of the tribal instinct of hatred for all
other tribes than one’s own, a hardy
! remnant of savagery. It is a far cryap-
j parently from the w ell groomed, hand­
somely costumed grand lady tearing to
shreds the reputation of her hostess of

L' hulli* «* a Fabric For Autumn Wear.
When fall comes, there are few w ho
do not count it as an “ aw kw ard sea­
son” when referring to the matter of
dress.
A t that time it is too cool for
muslins and too warm for cloths.
It is
just at this season that challis comes in
for its greatest share of appreciation,
and its long hold 111 the world of fash­
ion is due to the fact that it so thor­
oughly “ fills the b ill” for a between
season gown.
The shops are showing
some of tht> new challis, but not all that
they w ill
bring forth 111 a week or so.
But samples of these go to show that
there are some new and very pretty e f­
fects in tliti challis that is to come.
Some are flowered, others have ara­
besque designs, sueh as have been pop­
ular in foulards, and still others have
varicolored grounds w ith fine tracery
designs.
O f these last 0110 combines
green, yellow and blue in some vague
device in the ground, th*1 colors filter­
ing through an interlacing of fine brown
vines.
There is a charm ing flower patterned
challis w ith
blue,
pink
and
yellow
chrysanthemums
in
pale tint 011 an
olive green ground, broken at intervals
w ith satin stripes.
B lack
arabesque
printed on a reseda satin striped ch a l­
lis, w ith broken w hite dots, is new
and artistic.
There is navy challis, as
it seems there has alw ays been, but
this is smarter than it once was.
It
has w hite scrolls and
other oriental
looking figures instead of just solely
and sim ply white lines or little dots.
Black grounds, w ith cerise or
other
bright, conventionally patterned designs
are newer than the flowered black and
blues and have considerably more stylo
about them.
It is a past vogue to trim challis elab
orately.
The leading dressmakers have
among their models for early fall gowns
only simple designs for challis.
Satin
and velvet ribbon is put on in rows and
111 bows. Some lace is used about them,
but tins is only of the very heavy kinds
— Philadelphia Times.

B o le r o an d Z ou a ve Effect».

Bolero and zouave effects have lost
none of their popularity and w ill blos­
som out in new1 and odd surprises as
the season advances.
Many of them are
designed for warmth, w hile the ma
jority are made as an artistic decoration
for the fancy bodice where several m a­
terials are combined. Jeweled, tinseled
and all over braided effects w ill be much
used in these dainty additions, which
are affected alike by both old and young
and claim a place in the foremost ranks
of good style.— W om an’s Home C om ­
panion.

The newest bustles to be worn with
fall gowns have the hip pieces cut and
padded to fit the figure.
These w ill be
worn underneath the corset instead of
outside, as formerly, and there w ill he
new corsets w ith adjustable hip pieces.
These bustles w ill keep the skirt from
s a g g i n g . _______

Mrs. S. G. M illiken of Augusta, Me.,
who has been elected as a director at a
recent m eeting of the stockholders of

It is said that another attempt has
been made in England by the Victorian-

An Iowa boy recen tly passed through
an experien ce which he will n ot forget
if he lives to bo 100 years old .
lie is
on ly 5 years old , an d on e d ay when In s
father wen t to the wlieatfield to d rive
the harvester he took lin n alon g an d
perched him on the high seat at his
sid e.
For a time the little fellow
watched the yellow wheat lop over as
it was cut. in a wid e swath, an d the tall
arms sweep it back an d bin d it, an d
fin ally the fat bun d les bein g tossed
asid e on e by on e.
All this was very in ­
terestin g for awhile, but presen tly the
little fellow grew tired an d began to
squirm an d complain , an d then , just as
his father was lean in g over to look
more closely at some of the machin ery,
off tumbled the little fellow on the con ­
veyor.
He shrieked just on ce, an d his
father tried vain ly to stop the horses,
hn t before he could even slack the speed
the boy had been d riven up through the
elevator can vas with half a bun d le of
wheat, the bin d in g twin e had twisted
swiftly aroun d his n eck an d legs, an d
he was rolled out on the wid e carrier,
securely boun d in a wheat bun d le.
He
was almost choked , an d there was a
tin y bit of skin torn from his should er,
but otherwise he was un hurt when bis
father cut the strin g an d helped him up
again , but a worse frighten ed boy would
have been hard to fin d . — Exchan ge,
