We have caught some notions from the distinguished milliners of Paris, and our workroom is a Parisian echo with the reproductions and notifications of the more outre French styles. The deft fingers of our milliners would win plaudits in Paris.
 Everything to create, too, if you'd rather. Here are hund- reds of untrimmed shapes as rich and expensive as you choose ; whole beds of roses and flowers and foliage, an abundance of every fashiona- ble garniture.

 The wraps and jackets re- fleet the highest credit on the buyer; the costumes and waists were never happier.
 There are hundreds or capes, and for a given sum or money there was never to be had so much style and worth before.
 Jackets. Styles by the hundreds, and novelty after novelty, side by side. Jackets up to $6o apiece, but the as- sortment from $Io to $25 is rich beyond example.
 Costumes from $12 to $50. We venture to say that mo- body else in the city has such, Some of the richest things are combinations; skirts of mixed cloths, with jacket or blazer o1 plain material. There are none more stylish than we shall have to show.
 Silk Waists, lovlier than silk waists ever were before. and more of 'em. We have probably the largest collection of silk waists to be found in this region-$5 to $2o.

ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE

GATED.

Government Barracks at Little
ROcl>-Government Must Inter-
vene, or the Men Will Never Get
Cent for Their Time.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The Trades and
Labor assembly of Chicago has made
all arrangements for amalgamation
with the labor congress. At last nights
meeting of the assembly the committee
on amalgamation reported that the
joint committee of the two bodies had
concluded its labors and had arranged
everything but the date. 1t was ex-
planned that the congress had yet to
decide whether it had to take a refer
endum vote on the question. A mes
senger from the congress was expected
to bring information regarding it's de-
cision, but none came. The assembly
accepted the report of the committee,
giving authority to postpone the meet
iEg set for April II if the congress
found referendum vote necessary I'M
der it's constitution. So soon as the
committee learns the action of the con-
gress it will arrange with the commit
tee from the latter body to reaftirm the
date of the joint meeting, or set a new
one; will notify all labor bodies, both
in and out of the two central bodies,
entitled to representation to send dele
gates to the joint meeting and all pre-
liminary steps toward the solidification
of the bona fide labor organizations of
Chicago will be completed. The mat
ter of the eighty-five destitute work
men engaged on the government bar
racks at Little Rock, Ark, was brought
up by w. C. Pomeroy, who read cor
respondence bearing upon the case and
urged decisive action by the assembly
which, he said. should intercede with
the federal authorities.
According to the evidence, Delegate
y,racanta6 which he said wa &
vouched by w. G. Carpenter, who had
been sent to Chicago on behalf of the
men, nearly $4,000 is due to the work
men, which they have no prospect OF
getting out of the contractor unless the
government intervenes. The men,
nearly all of whom are from Chicago,
are said to be in destitute condition and
their families are without the neces-
saries of life. The men struck Janu-
airy for back pay, and the contractor,
to bring them back to work, agreed to
pay them all that was due them with
in a month, STIMULATING satisfactory in
stallments None of these agreements
have been kept.
Delegate Pomeroy said these facts
had been laid before the authorities at
Washington He thought workmen on
a government job ought to be sure of
their money and asked the assembly to
intercede with the war department.
President Elderkin said all griev
apces submitted to the proper depart
ment of the federal government re-
ceived immediate action and lnvestiga-
ton.
A committee consisting of President
EIderkin, Delegates Pomeroy Nc
Grath, Pierce, Grady and Jones, was
appointed to prepare statement of the
case and forward it to Secretary of
War Lamont.

m. on September II, 1885, from an altitude
of 1888 feet above sea level. The whole

down 1900 feet to the bottom of the
valley, then up 1900 on the other side
and back into the valley just far enough
to not destroy the watercourse through
course, moving as a solid mass 1t only
took about twenty seconds in its leap
upward. and ten in falling back, so that
at the end of forty seconds the mass had
changed its place from near the top of
the mountain to the farther side of the
valley. when it buried nearly one square
mile of rich pasture to the depth Of six
feet. A similar ice avalanche is recorded
as having occurred at the same spot On
the same day of the year in 17S2.
