Striking Miners Threaten to Tie Up
 Whole Districts.

LEADVILLE, Colo, Nov. 20.-The most important move yet made by the striking miners is today announced on
 what is considered reliable authority.
 The statement that the governor has decided to take summary measures to suppress further violence here and bring the strike to an end, has, it is said, caused the officers of the union backed by the western federation of miners, to send emissaries to all other unions in the state to urge them to inaugurate at once sympathetic strike, thus tying up all the mines of the state.

The demand for broom corn is great and the speaker predicted that if more attention was. paid towards raising it in the valley, it would become lead ing industry in five years. MT. Will sons suggestions were timely and if some of them were acted upon by en- terprising farmers the results could not be other than satisfactory.
 Col. M. H. McCord made an extem- poraneous speech on Needed Legis- lation." He vigorously advocated the passage of laws that will not only pro tect the fruitgrower, but everybody who depends on the soil for his living.
 A lengthy discussion followed on the subject. The meeting then adjourned until o'clock in the evening.
 The governor opened the evening session with ten minutes address, in which he dwelt upon the beauties of agrarian life and recalled to the memories of his audience how our most famous men were farmers and with what joy they returned to their peaceful, happy rural pursuits when the turmoil of political strife was over. The governor was most happy in his address and those who were present will carry a pleasant memory with them.

He showed what wonderful benefit would be reaped for Phoenix by the holding Of the congress in this city, and also gave general idea o1 what would be done on that occasion MT. McClintock is deeply interested ir the irrigation problem and answered the many questions asked by members of the society not only on the ques- tion, but on matters having a direc bearing on the coming event.
 The election of officers, which was to have been held last night, was post. poned until today. The attendance l during the day was not very large but at today's session a much larger audience is expected.

Making Old Dresses Over.

Whether they will succeed or not it is
hard to say, but the customers will
make strenuous efforts to introduce
trimming on the new skirts. A few
Partisan skirts have gore panels with
trimming running up and down beside
them. This is an advantage in re-
modelling an old dress. Two skirts that
harmonic may be put together by this
means. There is no end to the variety
of passementerie and jeweled trim
ming that can be had to give the re-
furnished gown an appearance of new
ness. Speaking of trimming, one can
buy set pieces of it for Jokes to old
waists for about So, which give very
dressy effect. Go to the trimming
sales and see what you can get in the
way of festoons of jet or jewels and
applique pieces when you are wonder
ing what to do with dress that is
scuffed, but not nearly worn out.
A remnant which one buys for SD or
81 may be made up very cheaply with
the trimmings, and in this way one
gets pretty spring dress at very little
cost-especially since haircloth is no
longer essential. The new lining that
is stiff but very light is made better
than haircloth and much cheaper, too.
A skirt nowadays need not be more
than four or five yards wide. 1t is
lined with cheverette, bound with vel
veteen, and finished with a ribbon ruffie
around the inside. Some of the even
ing skirts have velvet trimming. A
Dresden silk gown with train had an
immense amorphous blue velvet bow
Just below the right knee. There were
three or four ostrich tips standing out
and up against the skirt. The bodice
had large blue velvet sleeve puffs, with
ostrich feathers and blue velvet bows
on the shoulders and at the waist.

this characteristic, writes Lebanon,

than the manner in which he conduct
ed himself toward the defendant in the
case of Nancy Il. Glen, charged with
murder, in which Harrison was one of
the attorneys for the prosecution.
The Glen case was without doubt
the most bitterly contested criminal
case of the age and the time interven-
ing between her arrest and final dis
charge was eight years. She was
charged with having murdered Jacob
Young and wife at indianapolis, Sep
TENDER II. 1868, and was tried four
times. Twice the jury disagreed and
twice she was sentenced to imprison-
ment, but each time the Supreme Court
came to her rescue and reversed the
decision. After the second trial the
case was taken to Marion County. and
that county spent thousands of dollars
in the prosecution, but refused to con-
tribute further after the verdict in the
fourth trial had been reversed and the
case was dismissed.
Gen. Harrison made the closing argu-
ment for the State, and continually re-
