NOVELTIES FOR HORSE SHOW.
Boas and Muffs of Real Violets Two OF
tho Concefts.

Boas and Muffs of Real Violets Two of
tho Conceits.
From the New York Journal.
Horse show flowers were never more
attractive than they are this year. The
floral novelties which are seen at the
Madison Square garden this week are
wonderfully beautiful and show that
the florists are proving themselves dam
gerous rivals to the modistes.
Judging from what they are making
for the show, it Is by no means improb-
able that they will some day conduct a
millinery business in addition to their
present work of decorating and bou-
quet-making, and make bonnets OF nat
ural blossoms.
The violet boa is one of this seasons
novelties. Hundreds of violets make it,.
falling like feathers around the wear
er's neck. The effect OF this cascade of
flowers is charming, for no matter what
color her gown may be, this scarf or
sweet-scented flowers will harmonize.
Interspersed with sprigs of green, 1t
is graceful itself and in the distance
looks like soft fluffy lace or feathers.
Another novelty in flowers Is the muir
of violets and chiffon, relieved with
sprays of delicate ferns. 1t is an inn
mense spray of violets, so shaped that
it fits perfectly over the curve of the
muf almost conccaling the fur. Knots
of pale violet chiffon fasten it to the
muff. ferns minglng with the gauze
bows and tracing a lacelike background
over the fur for the flowers.
A stock OF violets and violet MORE
ribbon is one OF the seasons prettiest
| flower conceits. A band of violets and
ribbon passes around the wearer's
throat. the ribbon extending half way
down the bodice, knitting to it a large
horseshoe bouquet of violets. It makes
a most effective corsage trimming.
These violet horseshoss may also be
tied with violet ribbons to muffs with
| admirable effect
| Smaller horseshoes come for men.
They are used as boutonnieres and are
| tied with narrow velvet ribbon to the
| lapels of their coats.

Two Workmen at Garrison Badly Dam
aged by Giant Powder Discharge.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Deer Lodge, Nov. 2S.-James Garvin
and Mr.. Salisbury were severely in
jured yesterday by an explosion of giant
powder at Garrison. DR.. J. II. Owings
went from here to attend them Car
WINS left eye suffered greatly in the
explosion and his face was blown full
of small gravel.
Salisbury was stunned and rendered
deaf, but neither was seriously hurt.
They were digging ditch and using
the powder for blasting, but what
caused IT to explode is a mystery, as no
fire was near it at the time it went off.
There were two sticks and they lay on
the ground a short distance from where
the men were digging and 1T lis sur
missed piece of rock may have glanced
from the pick and struck the powder
and set 1t off. e.

being rigidly forbidden and out OF the
question, it has not been thought nee
esSary or quite in the line of charity
to keep class otherwise reputable un-
der perpetual civil or political disa bill
ity.
When such a person has been APP
pointed or elected it is safe to say that
no thought of menacing the American
home or of examining this obnoxious
practice down anyone's throat ever
crossed the mind of the president in
issuing his commission or of any cleo
tor in casting his ballot.
But the people of Utah are ready
for this issue. They propose to stand
by their pledges and keep absolute
faith with the nation, and they do not
propose to rest under any suspicion to
the contrary.
Now that this question is raised, the
moral sentiment of the country is
alarmed; they propose to demand a
searching investigation, and will be
found rendering full aid to any remedi-
al measure deemed necessary to give
assurance to the country that the poly
gamy cannot live anywhere in the
United States or in any place over
which they have jurisdiction. To this
end. at the first opportunity, 1 shall
ask the senate to pass this resolutions:
" BE it resolved by the senate of the
United States, That the committee on
judiciary is hereby instructed to in
quire into and to report to the senate
as follows:
1910 what extent polygamy is prac-
ticed or polygamous marriages entered
into the United States or places over
which they have jurisdiction.
"'"Second, have polygamists, or per-
sons reputed to have more than one
wife been elected to office by the peo-
pie of Utah, and if SO, was such cleo
ton for the purpose of encouraging
polygamy or in violation of any COM
pact between said state and the United
States?
"."Third. have polygamists, or per-
sons reputed to have more than one
wife, been appointed to Office by the
president, by and with the advice and
consent of the senate, or in cases where
the concurrence of the senate is not re-
quired, and if SO, have such appoint-
ments been made in aid of polygamy.
or in violation of the compact between
the United States and the state of Utah
with reference to that subject?
"'"Fourth, what, If any. steps should
be taken or measures enacted for the
prevention of polygamy in the United
States and in places over Which they
have jurisdiction" "

IT Is MISLEADING.
A Change of Wording Desired In tho Sa-
moan Agreement.

moan Agreement.
London, Nov est is officially re-
ported that the statement that the
United States has rejected the agree
ment between Great Britain and Ger
many regarding Samoa and has sub
mitted a new draft of an agreement,
is misleading. A representative Of the
Associated press has been informed
that the exact status of the Samoan
question is as follows:
Consequent upon the signing of the
Samoan treaty between Germany and
Great Britain. to which The United
States had signified its assent there
was drawn up new form of aeree-
rnent between Great Britain and the
United States. This was necessitated
by the new order of things but in no
wise affected the validity of the Ger
man-British agreement which included
such spheres Of influence in Africa and
other matters entirely foreign to Amer
lean interests. The statement that the
agreement has been rejected has been
based according to the British officials
entirely upon the suggestions made by
the United States of a change in the
wording of the draft of the agreement
between herself and Great Britain.
These changes are entirely grammati-
cal and will be acceded to. That the
United States submitted new treaty
affecting the three powers concerned is
emphatically denied, as it is pointed
out the United States, though con-
suited, was not signatory to the Brit
ish-German treaty. 1t Is assumed that
the United States has pending with
Germany an agreement similar to that
with Great Britain, but in relation to
the draft over which difficulties as to
the wording arose Germany has no
concern. The foreign Office expresses
entire satisfaction with the progress
of the negotiations, and it is said Off
cially there is no danger apparent OF
any hitch.

Escaped From a Snow Slide.

Last Thursday MT. Martin George, foreman of the mines of the American Gold Mining Co.,, at Sheep Creek, had a remarkable experience and one he will not soon forget.
 He was on his way to the IbeX mine near the top of the mountain, when suddenly a great mass of snow above him gave way and came rushing down the mountain side. He grasped a wire that had been stretched to assist climbers, and succeeded in planting himself in the middle of the rushing mass, with which he was hurled down the steep declivity more than a thou sand feet to the basin below. Being possessed of the true American spirit, MT. George landed on top and, with the exception of few bruises, was not much the worse for the wear. He was taken to the Juneau hospital and in' a short time will have recovered com pleteIy from the effects of his terrible ride in snow slide.

A cut on the forehead and a few bruises constitute all his injuries He was on the street Thursday after, noon and speaks very lightly of the accident.
