All the Union Tailors of Chicago to Go
on Strike To-day.
CHICAGO, March 12.-All the union
tailors employed in the city will go on
strike tomorrow, to assist the clothing
cutters and trimmers who have been
struggling for several weeks to win
from their former employers.
The decision Of the tailors was
reached by the joint Executive Boards
Of the unions last night. The tailors
have been willing to join the 800 strik
ing cutters and trimmers since the first
day of the strike, out have been kept
from doing so.
Tt is estimated there are 1900 organ
lied tailors here, but when this number
quits work it is believed as many more
will JOIN the ranks Of the idle. The
first of next week it is estimated 1900
to 5000 men, women, boys and girls,
whose garment work depends on the
tailors, cutters and trimmers, will be
affected by the strike. All the unions
held meetings tonight and ratified the
strike action of the Executive Board
The Cutters and Trimmers' Union
received a setback to-day when four
teen members who had been old en-
ployes of Kahn Brothers returned to
work. The action of the men was ex-
pected by the strikers.

THE PRICE OF A WIFE,


y. ID.
SIOUX FALLS, N. D., Jan. PA
strange suit has just been begun here
by Charles Miller against Louis Liesen-
ger, Of Tea, S. D. Miller claims that
In December, 1894, he made a contract
with Liesenger to get him a wife, the
consideration to be $25 and expenses.
Miller claims it was agreed that he
was to have $3.50 per day for time
actually spent in the interest of the
Tea man, who apparently wanted to be
married very badly and did not feel
like depending on his own resources.
Miller claims that he kept his eyes
open for a good chance for Liesenger
and in January, 1895, discovered a
woman who was willing to marry Lie
senger. She was Miss Minnie Paulsen,
Of Bookings county, and after getting
Minnie's consent, Miller drove to Tea,
got Liesenger, took him to Bookings
county, secured the consent of Miss
Paulsen's parents, secured and paid
for the license, employed a minister
who tied the knot, and then paid him
for the service. Miller presented bill
for ST., which included the $25 agreed
on, and all the necessary expenses, in
Guiding Liesenger's bills at Brookings.
which Miller says he paid Liesenger
who is living happily with his wife, re-
fused to pay the bill, and Miller sues
for the amount. The complaint has
been served on the defendant, but he
has as yet made no answer.
Miller claims he had a similar ar
rangement with Robert Liesenger, who
lives at Sioux Falls. Miller succeeded
in getting Robert a wife on the same
terms and Robert also refused to pay
after he was happily married A suit
will also be begun against Robert In
this complaint Miller alleges that he
assisted Liesenger in his courtship and
in every way carried out to tbA full
his portion of the contract.

DULUTH DIARIES.
Inspector Snyder Says They Are All
Right-VitaI Statistics,

DULUTH, Jan. 2S.-State Dairy In
spector Snyder, of this city, has made
thorough inspection of the dairies
of Duluth, over seventy in number, and
finds them in most excellent condi-
ton. They are clean, warm and we'll
ventilated, and in only two cases did
he have to ask the owners to provide
better ventilation.
Although the death rate of this city
has more than doubled recently, as a
result Of the typhoid fever epidemic,
this is not so dangerous a place as
many people would think. A COMPARE
son Of Duluth's vital statistics with
those Of other cities shows that, even
with the epidemic, the death rate here
Is lower than the regular rate in most
cities. Last month Duluth's rate was
1904. The December rate in other cities
was as follows New York, 1891; Chi
cago, 1913; Philadelphia, 1882; Brook
Ign, 1910; st. Louis, 1920; Baltimore,
1892; Milwaukee, 14.20.

TUG OF WAR A HIT.
Carnival Management VIII Repeat
1t This Evening.

When the carnival managers placed
a tug-of-war contest upon the pro-
gramme they acted wisely, as was
shown by the interest taken in the
event last night. The pull was be-
tween carnival clubs. The prizes con-
sisted of scarf pins. The members of
the winning team each received a pin.
the aggregate value of which was s45
and the value Of the second prizes
amounted to $40. The Red Mems club
won first place, and the Sundkvist club
won second. The judges were w. Price
and H. Hardick; referee, Treat Spear:
timekeeper, G. Allen. The pulls were
three minutes in length. The Sundk-
visits and Western Unions pulled first
the former winning the drop and gain
ing eight inches of rope at the finish.
The Red Men and Bostons then pulled.
At the end Of thirty-five seconds the
Bostons were lifted from the cleats.
The SUBMITS and the Flambeau clubs
pulled next. 1t was the best pull Of
the evening, and the Flambeau team
won by quarter Of an inch.
The Red Men and Sundkvists pulled
next. The former had an interesting
victory, and got ten inches of rope from
their opponents. The Red Men and
Flambeau pull resulted in a victory
for the Red Men by four inches

Roar Arises Over the Skating
Race Management.
DR.. W. D. Kelly, chairman Of the
skating committee Of the winter car
n1val association, is very indignant
over an article which appeared in a
Minneapolis evening paper, charging
that the skating races at Aurora park
have "fzzled." AS a bill of particulars
the Minneapolis sheet charged that
Johnson did not come because there
were no cracks entered Dr. Kelly
says that Johnson is professional. and
therefore was not eligible to the anna
teur races, but if he wants to meet a
crack he,the doctor, and his friends
will back McCulloch, of Winnipeg,
against him for any distance The
carnival people, he says, have ne
EQUATIONS with Johnson about giving
a professional exhibition at the carni-
val, but did not reach a satisfactory
agreement.
AS for the criticism of the time keep
ing made by the Minneapolis paper,
DR.. Kelly says that the time keepers
are Tom and Birney Bird, Of this city,
and an officer of the Minneapolis Cycle
club, so that there should be no COM
plant from that city.
1t also charges that the reason that
Donoghue did not come was that the
carnival directors would not pay his
expenses. DR.. Kelly says that the
amateur skating associations are not
in the habit Of paying the expenses Of
any skater, unless on plea Of poverty,
and then it is done quietly

CONTEST WARNS UP.
Fight for Duluth MayOraIty Nearly
an Even Thing,


DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 28.-City Clerk
Richardson Is making up the official
ballot, as the time for filing petitions
has expired. For the most part the sit
uation has been simplified. In the First
ward there is no opposition to John
Coventry, the Republican nominee for
alderman. Neither is there opposition
to G. T. Crandall, the short-term alder
manic candidate in the Fifth ward, nor
to I. j. Richardson, the short-term can
didate in the Seventh. In the other
wards the candidates are as follows.
the first name given in each ward being
that Of the Republican nominee and all
the others independents, as no other
party put up candidates, and all the
terms being for two years:
Second ward, G. E. Evans, A. J. Har-
ker; Third, J. W. Rowley, r. S. Lerch,
W. D. Gordon; Fourth, Thomas Trevil-
lion. A. r. Stahlbusch, John Mears;
Fifth, Thomas Dahl, James Cullyford; ;
Sixth, B. George Hanson, ]. N. Dennis,
r. G. Sloan; Seventh, D. E. Stevens, r.
David Sang. Mitchell and Trevillion
are the only one who now occupy seats
in the council.
The mayoralty contest is quite warm
Truelsen had considerable more
strength the latter part Of last week as
a result Of the soreness of a number of
the members of the Republican ma
chine, because Of their defeat in the
convention, but this week they are be-
ginning to think they will make bad
mess Of it for themselves If they OPP
pose Allen or remain on the fence, so
they are coming into camp. Aliens
strength Is much greater than it was a
few days ago. Each of the candidates
finds much to criticise in the others
past official conduct, but each stands
on the same water platform Of hostility
to the company.

& Owing to the soft condition Of the
foe at Aurora park yesterday the races
Of the National Amateur Skating as
Eociation were called off, but with this
Inception the rest of the carnival pro-
sramme was carried out successfully.
The attendance was up to the standard,
and everything went along merrily.
The toboggan slides received their usual
Rrnount Of patronage, while the rink
Ia Aurora park was thronged all day
With jolly skaters.
/ The curling bonspiel was continued
IN the evening, and one of the most in
teresting games Of the season was
played. The st. Paul polo teams also
put UP a game last night that was
worth seeing, and hundreds Of people,
appreciating this fact, gathered about
che rink and cheered the young ath-
4etes as they made their grand stand"
plays. The Indians were in evidence
all day, and in the afternoon particu-
iariy put up programme Of interest.
For over two hours they danced upon
fhe central platform with scarcely a
stop. They introduced several new
features and added materially to the
popularity they hold with the carni-
yaliers. In the evening also they fur
nished an interesting part Of the pro-
gramme. The most important event
or the day, however, was the tug-of-
war between carnival clubs. 1t proved
80 interesting and successful that the
directors have decided to repeat 1t to-
night. They will offer valuable prizes
And all the teams have agreed to par
ticipate.
AT 3 o'clock this afternoon the In
Hians will have a foot race at Fort
carnival. This will be a unique event
and well worth seeing.
The postponed quarter-miIe and ten
en1le skating races will begin at 10
@ clock this morning if the ice is In
suitable condition. The 1OO-mile race.
Whioh was to have taken place today,
will be skated tomorrow afternoon.

already won first
The event will be repeated tonight
The Red Men and Indians then gave
brief programme. The Indians first
gave a war dance upon the platform
Then the Red Men gave one in their
own way. The monotony Of this was
broken, however, when they seized
Fred Yerxa from the crowd, and, fast
ening him to a post burned the fagots.
He finally escaped uninjured. Then all
went to the block house where the
Indians and Red Men completed the
evenings amusement. After indulg-
Ing in a dance the attention was
turned to speech-making. In behalf
Of the carnival directors, George
Thompson gave a brief address of
welcome to the Red Men. w. J. Rohn

the gratitude of the Indians to the

councils at various times during the past two
months, and have finally selected the follow

s39 per day. besides the timber estimators,
who cost Sc a day, and also to get their back
moneys.
