A BUSINESS VENTURE.

A sign hanging above a little shop
told the world of Hayside that Miss
Jane Dody, milliner, had started In
business.
Until this sign appeared Haysiders
had been obliged to drive to Nesburg
or send to the city for their millinery
and having formed the habit it was a
question whether they would break it
and patroniZe the new establishment.
Miss Jane did not know many towl
people, for she had lived in the coun-
try with an old aunt, who had lately
died, leaving her legacy of $500. 1t
was small capital, but being entirely
dependent on her own eXertions Miss
Jane decided to start millinery shop.
She was old enough to decide for her
self, being almost 40, but she was a
timid woman and thought it better to
ask Mr.. Hopes advice first. Mr..
Hope was president of the bank, an old
friend of her aunt's and much admired
and respected by herself. He was just
entering his seventies, but many
man of so envied his vitality and
youthfulness of feeling. He was a
widower and lived alone in the great
house" of the village, where he dis
pensed hospitality and charity with
an open hand. Rich, influential and
busy, he yet had time to listen to any
tale of distress or give advice when
requested. Mr.. Hope had always liked
little Miss Jane and was more than
willing to listen to her plans and help
her all he could. She was shown into
his private office at the bank, blushing
like one of the roses she held in her
hands and making quite a pretty pic
ture.
Il have $500, you know, Mr.. Hope.
Would you advise me to start a millin-
cry shop with it or save it and go to
the city to get employment" she
asked
Mr.. Hope knew how difficult it would
be for a woman like Miss Jane, I'M
trained and timid, to get work in the
city. and quickly told her it would be
best to try the shop and he was sure
she would get on WELL
Bring on the best goods you can
get and you will be sure to succeed.
Everybody will buy from you. 1 don't
wear bonnets myself" he added, laugh
Ing, DuI IL SEM all my IrleQQS TO
you"
At the close of this interview the
prospective milliner left the banker
with light heart and had visions of
little shop expanding in time to a
great establishment, where she her
self was mistress of a great army or
assistants
In short while the new store was
opened to the public, its owner having
stocked up in the city and bought a
small but handsome line of goods to
tempt the feminine fancy. The little
woman and her one helper were kept
busy the first few days and Miss Jane
thought her visions Of success were
not so unfounded as to be ridiculous,
for money flowed freely into her COT
fers. But after the first excitement
trade settled down considerably and
there was plenty Of spare time for
breathing.
For the first time in her life Miss
Jane learned what it cost to live. Hav-
ing lived most of her life in the coun-
try, where things were lad "for the

GETTING WARM
Four Thousand People From the
Rural Districts at Bar
louisville,
Incensed at Reports That Knox
COunty's Vote Would Be
Thrown Ou.
Wrought Up to the Highest Pitch
and Trouble is Very
Probable.

BARBoURsv1LLE, KY, Nov. 14.-Over
1000 people from the rural districts
congregated on the streets here.
Incensed at reports that the vote of
Knox county would be thrown out,
and tired of waiting for the commits
sioners to certify the vote they have
came to town to see that their liberties
were protected, as they expressed it.
Mandatory injunctions have been
filed on the commissioners to compel
them to finish the count. Up to noon
the commissioners had taken no action.
People are wrought up to the highest
excitement and trouble is feared.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 14.-The second
week of uncertainty regarding the re-
suit of the balloting for governor of
Kentucky begins with little prospect of
immediate relief. The official count
has been in progress for two days and
official returns from large majority of
the 119 counties have narrowed the
contest down to nose finish. Each
side claims the election of it's ticket, but
the estimated plurality of either does
not exceed 5000. While the returns so
far received favor Taylor the result of
the count may hinge on the decision
given by the county election commits
sioners in several places where con-
tests have been begun on the ground of
alleged irregularities.
The Commercial prints a statement
from Chairman George w. Lange of
the Republican state committee claim
ing plurality of SAIL for Taylor.
These figures are based on the official
returns of 10 county election boards.

BLOT CASES CALLED.

Demands Of Railroads for Losses During
the Chicago Strike Being Heard.
CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-The trial Of what
are known as "the riot cases" have been
called before Judge Kohlsaat in the
federal court. These are the cases in
which various railroads ask for judg-
ments against the city for damages to
their property suffered during the rail
road strike in 1894, on account of the
alleged failure of police authorities to
furnish adequate protection.
One of these cases, minor one, has
been tried and taken to- the supreme
court Of the state by the. city on the
plea that the state statute holding the
city liable for damages of this charac-
ter was unconstitutional. The supreme
court, however, held the statute consti-
tutional, and decided the, city must
pay.
The present cases accordingly, will
turn simply On questions Of fact; the
city trying to show the companies have
not suffered as much damages as they
claim. The aggregate of these claims
is nearly $1,000, 900, and in the one
trial, brought by the Pennsylvania
company, the amount claimed is $500,
00O.
Chief Ripley issued an order to all
members of the police department. who
were on active service at the time of
strike to call at the controllers Office
Sunday morning and give their testi-
mony. Almost 200 patrolmens responded
and turned In their testimony.

out that the absence of serious news in
such dispatches as have been received
from General White proves nothing, as
the general is not likely to send by
pigeon anything unpleasant or indica-
tive Of anxiety, carriers being SO likely
to fall into the hands of the Beers.
There are signs that the Beers are
concentrating between Ladysmith and
Colenso, but the stories are so contra
dictory that it is impossible to assert
this absolutely. If true, it is pointed
out that while it cuts off Ladysmith,
the danger to the Beers is also great
for it will give General White chance
to intercept their retreat when Lord
Methuen's division. advances from the
southwark, unless, in the meanwhile,
General Joubert succeeds in crushing
the beleaguered garrison. That the lat.
ter is completing preparations for a
series Of desperate attacks on General
Whites position il not doubted and
heavy fighting may be heard of at any
moment. General Whites forces, it is
asserted, must be enduring daily Or
deal which will hardly improve their
fighting efficiency and the danger of
the shortness of ammunition looms up
largely. On the development Of the sit
uation at Ladysmith in the near future
depends probably the duration of the
war. It is pointed out that if General
White can maintain his position until
Nov. ~ or 20 the British authorities
will be fully satisfied that all danger in
Natal will be over. Should he fail to
do so and be compelled to abandon his
guns and stores and retire with heavy
loss southwark, where he will meet the
Beers in position on the Tugela river,
it is
Impossible to Predict What May Happen.
On the other hand, the critics say,
should the situation at Ladysmith not
be materially changed before Nov. %,
it is confidently expected that the ma
jority of the Boer force will be caught
two British forces and COM
PEELED to retreat over the difficult
Tintwa pass, or Liversbook, after aban-
doning its guns. However, the Beers
have expressed the intention of-captur-
ing Ladysmith, and then marching ON
the capital of Natal, and the fact of
heir retaining Turela bridge intact ar
CUES confidence in their ability to carry
put their plans.
There is nothing corroborative of the
rumor from Brest of disaster to a.
British troopship. The admiralty has
no knowledge Of any such occurrence

The Press from Burlington, VT, says:
Officers of the Forty-third infantry at
Fort Ethan Allen were perturbed DUR
ing the afternoon when they found a
large part of the regiment had taken
"French leave" The men were paid
off the previous day and those contem-
plating desertion were waiting for the
money.
The officers admit that 120 privates
and non . commissioned officers ran
away during the hight and the number
that deserted in the last four weeks
will swell the list to 200. After getting
their pay many of the soldiers visited
the clothing stores in this city and
bought civilian clothing. They went
down to the wharf and discarded their
uniforms, throwing them behind lum
Der piles and into the lake.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE

Rise in Prices Of Raw Materiss the Note
worthy Feature.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-R. q. Dun g.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The most noteworthy feature of the
time is the rise in prices. Cotton rose
on Wednesday to 7.S1 cents, putting the
price ~ cents higher than it was a
year ago, and yet it was still higher
in September, 1897. Wool has risen
relatively more, about 10 per cent in
two weeks, and the average Of 100 quo
tations by Coats Bros. is higher than it
has been at any other time since May,
1893. Pig iron has risen further, $35
being quoted for anthracite No. /, the
highest price since January, 1883
Hides are at the highest point since
January, 1878, having risen all the year
with very little reaction. Prices of
products have not correspondingly ad-
yanced.

Il must state that the law has provok-
