A CHAPTER on PettIcoats.

OF course she who leads in the
world fashionable has petticoats ga
lore, each one different from every
other. There is one for her walking
gowns, another for her lat home"
and vet another, which is an addition
de luxe. which is used exclusively for
evening wear, besides those to be
worn with the tea gown and the
dressing sack Then, too, there are
exquisite petticoats designed ex-
pressly to be worn with dancing
gowns For example, one of pale
pink chiffon made over a foundation
of white silk. The chiffon is laid on
in deep founces under bands of white
silk embroidered in white. Another
pretty skirt to be worn with dane
Ing costume is of rainbow silk An
ished with three tiny rufflcs, one OF
blue, one of pink and one of yellow.
However, after all, the white petit
coat remains dea: to the sweetest and
daintiest women With its soft
f,ounces of embroidery or lace 1T has
.oout it a freshness that silk cannot
rival.

Don't Jump Out in a Runaway.

"The horses were stopped a few
paces farther on" a formula in such
cases almost as invariable as CHE dld

form of disaster. 1t was so In the
case of Mrs. Pendleton, and IN that
of Nine. Van Loon, who met her
death in that way at Nice at the be-
ginning of the present season, and In
q host of other instances Ten years
ago | CHANGED to be in a carriage

Adjourned Sina Die.

P1rrsBuRG, KAN, June 24.-The arbitra-
tors, committees of miners and mine ope-
rators, who have been in session for several
DAYS. have adjourned sine die without accom-
plishing any settlement. This ends all efforts
TO put an end to the strike.
The propositions of the miners we're num-
bered one. two and three. The first was 81
and 20 cents per ton. or $50 cents yearly
price: the second, TO leave the whole matter
to arbitration with privileges OF unlimited
argument. the decision of the aroltrators 10
be final: the third, to obtain basis for
screen coal offered by the old twelve foot bar
as a test for thirty or sixty days and place
the percentage upon the nut and slack passed.
All these were re ected by the operators With
out argument.
The operators presented no other offer than
that of A and 90 cents per ton. TO be either
accepted or rejected Immediately.
The miners promptly rejected the PROPOSE
ton which virtually brought the meeting to
a close after being in session about an hour.
| Secretary Tracy. of the Miners asSocla-
| ton. declares that inside of five days the
whole of Missouri. Arkansas and the Indian
| territory will be out. and word has been re-
| ceived from Colorado that they are waiting
| for the result of the Pittsburg conference.
| He said a convention would be called In
| Kansas City on July for delegates of the
| miners of Missouri. and all those delegates
had been instructed by the men, irrespective
of organization, to suspend work.
J. F. Young. of Scranton, KAN, repre-
senting 1900 miners of Usage county, was
in the city and in an interview said that
| Usage and Scranton had sent him personally
to assure the miners of Cherokee and Craw
ford counties that they would stay out until
the matter was settled.
An appeal sent to the east some time age
by Secretary Lacey Is meeting with heart!
response. This is the first time the miners
of the west have asked for aid. 1t Is nov
the policy of the miners of Cherokee an'
Crawford counties to totally shut dowi
every place that produces one pound
commercial coal.
The operators will at once post notice
, to resume work and all strikers wishing to g
back will be employed. Agents are out EN-
ploying men from the south and other point
outside the district and over loo colore
men at those points have signitied their VIII
ingness to come. Some of the, operator
favor waiting to give the men another oppol
tunity to study the matter, but the moJ0rlt
scout at the idea, saying the miners nav
had all the time necessary.
The w. d J. LanyOn Smelter compan
have shut down one block of their smetlel
and more will follow in few days.

Lasted Six Minutes.


The dreadful cyclone that swept the coun-
trv around WilliamstOwn extended from
about mile and half west of the town to
about two miles east of the town. The storm
was preceded by a heavy rain, and It's APP
proach. apparently from the northwest: was
heralded bv an ominOus silence, sudden
darkening of the skies and terrible rush OF
wind.
In the path of destruction nothing re-
NAMED that could be at all recognized.
Trees we're warped and twisted; fields of
grain completely wiped out; hedges stripped
of all foliage; stock killed and terribly
manned: houses and barns and all buildings
we're swept clear out of sight, and human
life lost.
The storm was only about six minutes IN
passing. but when it was over, strip or
country about five miles long and elghty
rods wide was the scene of devastation such
as to defy description.
About thirty farm houses were totally de-
molshed, only one was LETT IN the storm
path
Animals we're killed by hundreds fences
DESTROYED and even the bark blown from the
| trees. The storm passed through a GENE:

Se,a+or Peffer and the MiIIers.

TOPEKA, June 24.-"Topeka is the biggest
milling center west of st. Louis, with the ex-
ception of Minneapolis. says Senator PETER,
and his investigation here proved 1t.
Representatives of every mill in the city
have been examined. and il was found that
the total output is 2,600 barrels day. Min
neapolis has twenty-five mills and capacity
of Al. 900 barrels day. Other cities west OF
the Mississippi have comparatively small
output: for instance. Kansas City capacity
Is 800 barrels day Kansas has furnished
all the wheat for the Topeka mills for the
past ten years.
Senator PETER questioned the witnesses re-
cardine the proposed change Of toll pad TO
custom mills. They all replied that they are
willing 10 take from Is cents TO % cents a
barrel on custom flour. ana said they WOULD
receive such law fayorably.
