WESTERN UNION BOYS STkIKE.

Yesterday morning it looked very much
as if the Western Union was going to be
confronted with strike by the messenger
boys. not very formidable however, but
nevertheless determined. BY noon the
strike was virtually off and most of the
boys were willing to 90 to work.
In an interview Manager Hacket said
that to better carry out the design of the
company lie had thought it best to pay the
boys cents per message instead of SIS per
month, the wages previously paid. This
should give each boy $l5 per mouth at the
least. and in most instances more. One
Of the reasons which led to this change
was the fact that the willing boys did the
major portion of the work and yet received
only the same compensation as the idls
and lazy ones got. The chief remon-
STRANGE, as matter of course, came from
the boys who were in the habit of Sinking
a run whenever it was possible. Mr..
Hacket said from financial standpoint
he would be perfectly willing to pay the
boys SIS per month out OF his own pocket
and collect 2 cents message, feeling that
he would be considerably ahead at the end
of the month. The boys all knew this and
those that were willing to work had no
objection to the change. All along the
boys disputed among themselves concern
ing whose turn it was but now <the same
dispute occurred with the difference that
each one wanted to make the run Toward
evening the whole affair had subsidized and
about all the boys were back at work
again.

THE POOR FARM.

On account of the aspersive reports that
have recently been circulated and even
gotten into the public prints concerning
the county poor farm, the management
feel it duty to make true statement
concerning their affairs; one case in par
tlcular. Disinterested parties who are in
position to know assert positively that
the poor farm has been excellently well
managed and been but light burden on
the county They further say that the
inmates are treated well in every respect
and nothing but the most reasonable
amount of labor is demanded of them. In
this institution as in all similar ones dis
content is natural to the inmates who
often feel themselves agrieyed without any
good grounds
DR.. Durrand. the overseer made the fol-
lowing statements concerning the Mrs.
Rhodes case.
Mrs. Rhodes is upwards 50 years of
age and has been a county charge for
number of years. She was sent to the
poor farm during the present administra-
ton, but was never contented and most OF
the time it was difficult matter TO con-
troll her. She repeatedly threatened. to
leave but the commissioners refused TO aid
her il she left the farm.
At one time she and another inmate
concluded TO marry and left the farm for
that purpose, but financial or other con-
siderations deferred the groom and the
happy event was never celebrated. He
has since wandered off to parts unknown
and is doubtless charge Of some other
state. She returned to the farm and con-
A
One day she fell down several steps and
bruised her hip and for several
weeks received no medical aid. The rea-
son OF this was that she refused it. DIR.
RentZ was in attendance and anxious to
serve her but she would have none of it.
Later on she left the farm again but is I'M
able or disinclined to help herself. DR..
Durrand has offered to take her back to
tho farm but refused to give her aid else
where. She has agreed to return but for
some reason best known to herself can not
go until Wednesday,
In speaking of the poor farm Or. Dur
rand said he believed that everyone who
knew anything about it considered it well
managed and in a tolerably hourishing
condition. He would be glad to receive a
visit there at any time from any citizen.
The farm Is fast getting to be self sustain
ing and as it gets in better state of cul-
tivation need not be any expense to the
county at all. In many instances aid is
given TO families without sending them to
the farm for the reason that in nearly
every instance the recipients receiving
aid partially support themselves at home.
In few instances aid is given regularly
by the month where the conditions war
rant such course and this is continued rs
long as it seems necessary. The total ex-
pense of the poor to the county. including
every source. from January. 1883. to Jan
uary. 1882 was 81 1921. This year, for
various reasons, the amount will be lit
tie larger but not any considerable sum.

TALK ON CORRECT DRESS.

Mrs Jenness Miller spoke at the First
Baptist church yesterday afternoon on
dress improvement. The church was fully
comfortably filled with an attentive and
appreciatiye audience. Entirely new cos
tunes from those last exhibited were worn
and explained and all questions concisely
answered. Mrs. Miller has the happy fac
ulty of making friends of her audience
and being conservative withall her words
carry conviction with them. Her first cos
tune was elegant yet simple while being
in her extreme style was only noticeable
on account of its beauty. Its cost was
81, 500. A number of other dresses suita-
bic for all occasions were donned at the
right time and full explanations given re-
garding make, cost, etc. In answer to the
question the art of dressing fat women
and the easiest means of reducing the su-
perfluous flesh was discoursed upon. Then
good wholesome advice was administered
to the lean woman in an agreeable way.
eat the close of the lecture the underwear
recommended in her plan was exhibited.
During the intermission Mrs. Taylor ex-
hibited Wichita dress made on the Jen
mes Miller theory and discoursed in
pleasant manner on her personal expert
ence in adopting Mrs. Millers views
When Mrs. Miller appeared in blue
street dress she asked her audience if they
could notice anything remarkable about
it, meaning did it make her in any way
conspicuous. The answer yes" came
promptly from the front row, Mrs Miller
seemed for an instant to feel little piqued
and asked in what way. The fattering re-
ply came that it looked remarkably beau
tiful.
/ jim referring to the divided skirts
"A lady asked if in crossing
muddy street it would not be noticeable.
Ia reply to this Mrs. Miller said what if it
WAS: it was useless to try TO give people
the impression that we had only one leg
when in reality every one knew there
should be two. "a closing Mrs. Miller
said a lady had once remarked that she
liked the Jenness Miller costume but was
afraid she might sometime be caught in
an accident. The speaker spoke very
plainly in reply to this and contended
with sound argument that her method
of dressing WAS particularly adapted 70
