NEW YORK FASHIONS.

The Latest In Turbans, Toques, Round
Hats and Flower Bonnets.
AS the season advances, milliners
talk less of toques for morning hats,
and commend round Spanish turbans
for wearing with tailor gowns and shop
ping toilettes. These are not the gen.
uine toreador hats, but are modiflca-
tons Of them, with the box brim closer
against the crown; and instead of POM
pons and grelots for trimmings, there
are half-wreaths of some very small
flower, with upright loops of Grape or of
ribbon. A black Neapolitan turban
with wreath Of forget-me-not or of
mignonette or Of arbutus is not consid-
cred too dressy to wear with the sim
plest wooden gown in the morning.
The ribbon hats worn last season are
also made again Of gros grain satin
egged ribbon to match wool dresses.
The shapes vary, some of them project
ing slightly in front, others being mere
ly turban shapes; but all are compact
and close, and the ribbon loops of which
they are made come forward from the
back, and are usually higher there than
in 'front.'
The tendency is toward such snowy
flower-laden hats that even the tailors
and matters fail to supply simple de-
signs for conservative tastes. A COM
promise ordered by women who dress
quietly is the slender toque of black
Neapolitan, with twist of crepe de
Chine along the edges, and wings or a
bird for trimming, or else the toque is
of open lace straw sewed together, of
braids chosen by the wearer, and
trimmed with two rosettes of crepe de
Chine or of satin directly in front, with
some pointed ends of velvet ribbon set
upward from their midst, and narrow
velvet ribbon strings brought from the
back of the crown to tie in small bow
on the left side. The rosettes may be
alike, or else one of becoming color,
and the other black, as aubergine. loops
of satin ribbon with rosette of bias

else there are two shades Of Grape in

A Word About Baby's Gap.

In the dressing of little children many
fond, young mothers aim to put on what
is pretty, forgetful oftentimes OF the
discomfort the little tots must suffer.
Who ever saw an infant who willingly
submitted to the tying on of the cap,
without some demonstration of disap-
prevail of that bit of head-gear? AS an
article of apparel, these same little
caps must be very annoying. They are,
if starched ever so little, very stiff for
the delicate head of a baby, and they
do not serve to protect the head OF the
wearer from either heat or cold, from
sunshine or from wind. -Christian at
Work.

CHENEY'S WATERWORK
A Statement of One of the Dissenting
Farmers.
CHENEY Wash Oct IL

4
Farmers.
CHENEY, Wash, Oct. IL.
To THE EDITOR OF THE REVIEW:
"Cheney Waterworks Checked.n An
article under the above heading ap-
peared in the Cheney Sentinel of this
week grossly misrepresenting our neigh
bor Mr.. Page, as well as ourselves.
Said paper refuses us any space for pub
lie vindicaton. We do not wish to
degrade your valuable paper down to
the level Of the Sentinel by asking you
to print slush, but We do ask the privilege
of making aplain statement of facts.
That we think 1t cunning to interfere
with the waterworks or to injure the
prospect of Cheney is false. We have
been on the defensive all the time.
In the first place they made their
brags that when they reached Callaway's S
land they would go through without
paying cent, but when they found
that impossible, the manager came and
offered me So for the privilege of going
through 100 rods of as good land as
there is in the state, Notwithstanding
the statements of the waterworks COM
pany TO the contrary. After an hour
of abusive talk he offered me $50 with
the threat If not accepted to publish us
all over the country. They then tried
to get temporary restraining order
from the court to go through, inducing
several irresponsible parties to make
atiidavits that Jesse s. Galloway had
promised them not TO interfere, and did
not till they dug to his line, a statement
clearly proved false by the fact thew
were half u mile from his line when
they brought action. Then they went
around Mr.. Page, got u few men to
swear that there was a public road
running along the section line between
Page and Galloway, conn ecting the Muir
ply and Cheney and Andrews roads,
another false position proved by the old
and new road supervisors, and also by
about twenty of the neighbors. IL was
their intention to make IL IA road under
tho new law declaring n road travelled
for seven years continuously becomes
one in fact, but the road running nearest
the line has nor been travelled for three
wears, and all the others have been
fenced, so they have been defeated in
every instance.
Their whole course of procedure has
been aggressive. The Sentinel states
that Callaways have been catspaw
for Page, an absolute falsehood. Page
only acted the part of neighbor in
helping to defend the rights of private
citizen. our every act has been volun
tary and independe 1t OF any one.
The Sentinel further states that one of
the parties has been failure in all his
undertakings and is likely to be more
so in his dealings with the water works,
| n cowardly thrust in the dark, as the
craven did not sign his name. The fact
is the party spoken of spcn. thousands
of dollars in trying to build up and sup
port Cheney, and that hoored him.
Some OF the principal magnates of the
water works company arc enjoying the
benefits of his failures.

PRODUCE EXCHANGE.
Steps Being Taken to Organize
One in This City-Call for a
Public Meeting.
The Farmers to Be Further Con-
sulted-Yes terday's Call on
the Mining Exchange.

The committee, consisting of
MIessrs, j. NJ. Buckley, j. w. Doug
lass, ID. w. Wegner w. NJ. Simp-
son, G. NJ. Lynch and l.. X. Arm
stsong, that was appointed by the
exchange to ascertain the feeling of
prominent citizens and surrounding
farmers relative to the feasibility of
organizing a produce exchange in
this city, held II meeting at the min
ing exchange after the call yester.
clay.
Each member expressed his views
on tho subject and stated what in.
formation had been gathered from
various sources concerning the mat
ter, but the main question discussed
was whether 1t should be organized
IN conjunction with the mining ex.
change or made an entirely distinct
organization.
Mr.. Douglass said that every per-
son he had mentioned the subject to
thought favorably of the project and
signifled their support to such an
enterprise.
Mr.. Buckley, who had interviewed
number of grocerymen, said that
some were very much In favor of
the scheme. but many thought that
the time as yet was not ripe. Sew
eral prominent citizens whom he
had talked with suggested that If
n produce exchange was organized
it should be independent of the
mining exchange.
Mr.. Armstrong thought that this
would be done, and ut the same
time have them operated under the
same management. as 1t Is in New
York. The mining exchange to u
great extent has so far been a sue
cess, aud none of the members
would, he believed, like to see u
separation, for unless they desired it
they need not deal in both produce
and mining stocks. Another ad-
vantage I'm making q combination
would be that running expenses of
both would be very much lessened.
Mr.. Wegner, who had conversed
with q number of prominent citi-
zens, stated that the general verdict
was in opposition to any incorpora-
tioh under the same head. But, ac-
cording to Mr.. Armstrong; idea, he
believed 1t could be distinct, yet be
under the same management; and
another advantage would be that 1t
would permit the brokers to operate
In both, If they saw fit. He was,
however, in favor of gathering more
opinions from the farmers, ETC., be-
fore taking definite action.
In accordance with this q motion
was carried, and Messrs. Buckley
and Lynch were appointed to issue
call for public meeting to discu ss
the matter, after which the meeting
adjourned.

GIRLS ON A STRIKE.
They Claim That They Have Been
overworked, and All
Walk Out
Dining-Room Girls. Pantry Girls,
and Chambermaids All Quit
Work.

Another strike has been in prog
ress in this city since last Thurs
day.
This one, however, was unher-
aided by threats, and hours Of
stormy debate behind closed doors
were not found to be necessary be-
fore acquiescence could be obtained
to put 1t into effect. Neither does
1t strike ut the interests of the
entire city, and II Is, in fact, quite
q tame affair compared with tho
one which 80 recently convulsed
Spokane from center TO circum-
ference. Another point Of differ.
ence between this strike and tho
one which Immediately preceded 1t
Is that whereas all engaged In the
late strike were men, those at
present resting from toll are women.
The strike occurred at the Com
mercial hotel, and the dining-room
girls, the pantry girl and the cham
berrnaids all walked out.
There were but six in all who quit
work, Annie Mahoney, Minnie Gill
berts, Curly Jim. and three others
whose names could not be learned.
The girl known as Curly, in tell
ing labout it, stated that the cause
of the strike was that all were so
overworked that they couldn't stand
it.
"There were but three of us in the
dining-room," she said, land but
| two chambormaids In tho whole
house, and there have been
as many as 125 In
the house at once since the exposi-
ton opened, and we had to do all
the work, so, you see, we hadn't
much time for rest. We have al
ways had to do double work, but OF
late 1t has been worse, and we
couldn't stand 1t. We have no
complaint to make against the
manager Of the house, Mr.. Bell,
aside from this, that he wouldn't
hire sufficient help. We always
found him very pleasant, and If nc
had employed more help there
would have been no trouble"

Expected To-Day.
The body of Fred Newman, who
committed suicide at Palouse City
on Tuesday, did not arrive yester-
day as expected, owing to somo mis-
management on the part Of those
having the body in charge. In all
probability the body will arrive to-
day. The date of the funeral has
not been fixed, but 1t will occur this
afternoon or tomorrow under the

SEVERAL thousand Wisconsin demo-
Gratis have signed a pledge to vote the
republican ticket at the approaching
election. The Bennett law has caused
this revolt. The last legislature enacted
law compelling the teaching of Eng
lish in all the schools of the state. The
democrats have made this an issue,
protesting against the law as an insring &c.
ment OF the person al liberties of the peo.
pie. The republicans have accepted the
issue, and the result is one of the most
spirited campaigns that the West has
ever seen. The Chicago Herald, the
ablest democratic newspaper in the West,
leads the revolt and warmly approves
che Bennett law. Here again the demo-
cratic party has reasserted the cardinal
doctrine OF its faith, that governments
have no power to control the dcstinies
of the people. This doctrine first found
root in the assertion of the right Of
notification, which bore the fruit of
secession. Again it found utterance in
resistance to tho draft, and now We find
IL repeated in the interest of the per-
petuation Of alien tongues.

market showed but little animation.
South Bonanza and Pacific Bullion
