The Single Feathered Hat.

Have You seen the iaunty maiden tripping
lightly long the street,
With an old gray goose quill sticking in
her hat?
She is neat and she is natty. and most ravish
ingly sweet,
With an old gray goose quill sticking in her
hat.
In her eyes there is sparkle of most indie
pendent pride,
On her face a cute expression she would
never try to hide,
And her bootheels hit the pavement so de.
cisiyely, that
1t jars the old gray goose quill sticking in
her hat.
In her dress there is a smartness that must
magnet every eye,
Every head turns on It's pivot as the men she
passes by,
Though the rivals scorns are pointed, she
answers tit for tat,
And keeps the old gray goose quill sticking
in her hat.
Oh! we all have seen the maidens in turkey
plumes arrayed,
Ora wealth ofchickenfeathers on their proud
heads parade,
But they simply arnt in it with the dashine
little maid. that
Keeps the old gray goose quill a sticking in
her hat.

Extra Loud Blank Cartridges.

goin' by jim Williams store, the day
before the Fourth, he had that sign a
hangin' out, Extra Loud Blank Car

off an on, ever since. It's kinder funny
how it fits in with some folks that | see
pretty often, nd l can't help applyin' it.
There's Bob Watkins, for instance.
We had little meetin' down at the
church, last month. for raisin' some
money fer home missions. Bob, he was
there with his wife, md he got up md
made rousin' speecn-he learned how
to do that at the political meetin's he's
so fond of goin' to-'nd said the leadin'
men of the church must take up this
thing, nd about our great md CROWN
country takin' in the isles of the sea,
so't there was no dif'runce, now, 'twixt
home md foreign missions, nd so Oh,
till he stirred up the youn people con-

MICHAEL TALKS ABOUT SULU

W. II. Michael, chief clerk of the Depart
ment of State, Is in Omaha enroute TO his
home at Grand Island to cast his vote for
the republican ticket. Mr.. Michael is ac-
companied by Mrs. Michael and daughter.
In speaking of the attacks made upon him
nv the pop press of the state by reason OF
his statement concerning the alleged Sulu
treaty, and denying the correctness OF his
assertions that polygamy and slavery were
covered by the memorandum agreement be-
tween General Bates and the sultan Of Sulu
Mr. Michael said: "In the first place, there
is no such treaty, and the very fact that the
demo pop fusion is circulating printed
paper purportng to he treaty, when there
is no treaty, logically discred!ts every state
ment they make respecting such treaty
In the second place, the statement that the
department with which / am connected had
anything to do with the mission Of General
Bates to the Sulu islands and that, there
fore, my connection with the Department OF
State would not necessarily give me access
to facts relating to his work in respect to
the Sulu islands, is not strictly true, for the
reason that the Department OF State is fur
nished promptly by the War department
with copies OF all correspondence Of the
character OF the memorandum of agreement
made by General Bates with the sultan oi
Sulu So that all correspondence and re-
ports received by the War department re-

in this way part of the permanent records

GIRLS LEARN HOW TO COOK
Art of Preparing Wholesome and
Tempting Dishes Impaired by Ex-
pert at ChiId-saving Institute.

A class of seventy-five girls under the
leadership OF Miss Aurells Huntington of
the Child Saving institute has undergone it's
first weeks instruction In the accomplish
ments OF the kitchen. The new branch OF
the institutes work is intensely practical
and Is one OF which the millionaire's daugh-
ter may take advantage with the same profit
as her less fortunate sister for whom il is
primarily intended. The class Is divided
into several sections in order to avoid over
crowding the room and 1t ranges from those
barely able to reach over the table to others
upon whose shoulders the care of a family
already depends.
Miss Huntington, who has come from Min
neapolis TO take up the work is an expert
In the culinary art having taken degree
In household economics at the Minnesota
Agricultural college last spring. She is
maintained here partially by the household
economic department OF the Woman's club
and partially by other charitable sources.
Mrs Mary Pugh Of the Woman's club made
a beginning In the work last year, which
promised to be 30 successful that II was de-
termined to push the enterprise again this
winter. and the services OF Miss Huntington
were secured, certain funds being appropri-
ated for that end by the department, which,
however. will be insufficient for the purpose.

Rev. A. w. Clark, at the head of the in
stitute. reports that the work is constantly
enlarging in scope and will be increased as
rapidly as the resources at his disposal will
allow. The cooking school is an enterprise
in which he is particularly interested as the
old-fashioned accomplishment of knowing
how to prepare a meal and kindred house
wifely virtues are in his opinion losing
prominence at the end of the century. The
classes will meet daily and the instruction
will include all that is required to make a
girl intelligent in the conduct OF the kitchen.
The course is the same as that employed in
the high schools OF many large cities and
maintained by the Board of Education
There is no tuition fee connected with the
institutes school.
Mr.. Clark now has associated with him at
the institute Mrs. Mary E. Sly, head resi-
dent worker who has had six years expert
ence in the Northwestern university settle
ment in Chicago the Hull house, and other
we'll known sociological colonies. Her two
sisters are also employed in minor branches
OF the work.

HARMONY IN GULF AFFAIRS
New York Syndicate Receives Con-
cessions and Yields to Phila-
delphia Committee.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.--The Herald says:
Final plans for the readjustment Of the
financial affairs Of the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf Railroad company will be pub
lished within day or two. The so-called
philadelphia committee" has been yictori-
GUS in its efforts to control the reorganiza-
tion and Its managers will hereafter be in
charge of Pittsburg & Gulf affairs. The
"Ladenburg' or New York" committee has
yielded and will deposit it's own stocks and
bonds with its rival and recommend the op-
position reorganization scheme.
The plan, as it will be published, will be
slightly different from that put out by the
Philadelphia committee a few months ago,
having been somewhat modified in the inter-
est Of the holders Of junior securities.
Present bondholders will not get rs per
cent in new per cent bonds, as at first
proposed, but will receive that amount of
new 8 per cent bonds, the interest on the
proposed issue having been cut down. Bond
holders will also receive 80 per cent in new
preferred, as originally offered.
Under the new plan the companys ter
minal charges will be cut down from $270, 900
as at present, to at least $15o,00O, by scaling
the interest on terminal bonds. The re-
organizers have received satisfactory assur-
anceS from Union racine ana chicago q
Alton controllers that these roads will give
the Pittsburg Gulf great deal more
business than it ever received from them
before.
There will also be changes in the proposed
voting trust The Philadelphia reorganiza
| tion committee will stand as at present, bu
| in the voting trust that will control the com
panys affairs President James Stillman o.
/ ha ity ha 7 q
Fitzgerald OF the Mercantile Trust compan,
will take the place cf the Philadelphia com,
mittee members who reside in Holland
Otherwise the new plan will be much tn,
same as the old. II will have the support
OF the combined committees and no new op,
| position e anticipated, With the acceptance
| OF the plan all the contest over the Kansat
City Pittsburg & Gulf reorganization will

He STAYED OUT OF NIGHTS
Mrs. Edith Lattimer's Unique Plea for
DivOrce-Other Cases of
Matrimonial Woe.

Mrs. Edith Lattimer, who was bride last
year in Fort Scott. Kan. has filed divorce
proceedings against Eugene J. Lattimer. a
prominent Kansan. Mrs. Lattimer is a re-
cent arrival in Omaha. having been here Just
long enough to comply with the legal re-
quirement as to residence.
Staying out late Of nights is one OF the
principal allegations mentioned in the petit
tion. The plaintiff alleges that 1t was her
husbands habit to remain away from home
until gray dawn or thereabouts and he would
never explain to her, she declares, the reason
for keeping such hours.
Women have way OF finding things in
their husbands pockets, and Mrs. Lattimer
was no exception, for in some manner. she
alleges, she found affectionate letters ad-
dressed to her husband, bearing the sigma
ture Rosa She was not acquainted with
Rosa and the discovery OF the letters
aroused such suspicion that statutory alle-
cation is included among the charges.
Mrs. Lattimer recites that her husband is
wealthy; that he owns valuable real estate
in and about Pleasanton, Kan; that he has
a printing Office and other property which
she is unable to describe. She prays the
court to grant such alimony as may be
deemed proper
Magdalena Pies filed divorce suit against
Nicholas Pies a few days ago, alleging nu-
merous indignities, and now Nicholas retail
ates with a cross bill and answer. He de-
nies that he mistreated Magdalena and says
her statements are all wrong. He alleges
that after his marriage he had to support a
ga year-old son of his wife by a former mar
riage. and that in the hope Of making the
boy sef-governing he spent $500 in estab-
fishing him in the barber business He fur
nephew of his wife from Germany to Amer
lea and was otherwise liberal with money
He denies that he is as wealthy as his wife
sets forth in her petition. and alleges tina,
she deserted him, He asks that the divorce
be granted him

BESIECED BY COAL DEALERS
Freight officials Confronted by Problem
Furnishing Coal Cars.
DEALERS WANT BENEFIT OF LOW RATES
Tariff on Coal Shipments to BE Ad-
vanced November 1J-CoaI Men
Anxious to Secure supply
before the Raise.
DEALERS WANT BENEFIT OF LOW RATE

Anticipating the rise in freight rates on
coal from Chicago and the Mississippi river
gateways November 15 coal dealers have
been besieging the freight departments OF
the various railroads operating between
Omaha and the east seeking early delivery
OF advance orders. The freight officials have
not, however, been able to meet the de-
mands for the reason that the coal traffic
has been affected like all other branches of
business owing to the car famine. Still
they have moved the coal almost as rapidly
as the miners have been able to deliver it..
For various reasons, the principal one being
the exceptionally large stocks which coal
merchants have been laying in. the miners
have found themselves unable to supply the
demand anywhere near as rapidly as the
dealers would desire. The coal situation has
also become somewhat complicated owing to
the strikes in the Kansas coal mines, re-
sulting in the supply from that quarter being
cut off and necessitating the patrons of the
Kansas mines to look to the eastern miners
for their coal.
Between now and November Is the move
ment of coal over the railroads will be just
as large as the roads can accommodate with
cars. AS indicated above. the reason for
this exceptional movement is the advance in
freight rates on coal. Effective November
10, tho rates on hard coal from Cnlcago VIII
be $3.50 per ton instead OF $500; soft coal
will be 1925 per ton instead of $500 From
| the Mississippi river gateways the rate on
hard coal will be s2,O5 instead of $1.55 as
| a. present. and soft coal will be $3.50 pei
| ton instead of $l.75. AS most of the coal
! consumed in the territory tributary to
| Omaha comes from eastern mines through
the gateways, either Chicago or Mississippi
| river points II can readily be appreciated
! that the increase of rates will materially
affect the coal dealers and consumers, an6
the increased revenues of the railroads viii
| be considerable, 1t can reasonably be in
| ferred that the railroads are not going tc
overlook any other business in order tc
move the coal and give their patrons tn,
advantage OF existing low rates, since the
business is such that will necessarily com,
to them even after the advanced rates be
come operative.
