For the clouds as the sun goes down.
For a happy life in the woodlands wild,
Affair from the dusty town.
Monday evening last at Wheeling

son. 1t was a dancing party given
by Mr.. and Mrs. B.Walker Peterson,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Howard Simpson, Mr..
and Mrs. j. j. Holloway and Mr.. and
Mrs. Hullihen Quarter. In response
to the five hundred invitations sent
out, very few regrets were received. so
that the elite society of this city and
vicinity was out en- masse.
-One of the novel features of the oc-
caslon was the cotillion danced for the
first time in this city. 1t was lead
throughout all the figures by Prof.
George Delbrugge and Miss Jess Moffat.
Another interesting feature was the
society cake walk in which five couples
competed for the prize. They were
Mrs. Kate Farrell, nee White, of Rich
mond, and Mr.. Aaron Hughes; Miss
Sue Caldwell and MIR. VIII Caldwell,
"a.
Miss Blanche Haase and Mr.. H. Glare
Hazlett, Miss Blanche Hoge and Mr..
Caldwell Noise, Miss Todd Baird and
Mr.. t. H. Pollock. The affair created
no end of amusement. The price. a
real cake walk cake was awarded to
Mrs. Farrell and Mr.. Hughes. The
presentation speech was made by Col.
w. w. Arnett in his usual happy vein.
No attempt at decoration was made
in the Casino with the exception of the
orchestral pit in front of the stage.
which was one mass of palms and pot
ted plants, In the centre punch was
served during the evening. Meister's
orchestra, stationed on the stage, half
hidden by a bank of palms, discoursed
a programme of excellent music for the
dancing. Detachable refreshments by

large dining room. Following is a list
of those present:

From the girl on the automobile,
1t has been the most notable week of
the summer season. Not only have
there been many social entertainments,
but they have surpassed il brilliancy
anything ATTEMPTED during he summer.
Particularly is this true of the dancing
party Monday night, and the Arion af-
fair Wednesday night, both at Wheel
ing Park. Into the short space inter
vening between this date and the mid
summer holiday, there will be crowded
many charming functions. After that
time a brief period of dullness is ex-
pected, as then the exodus to the re-
sorts will commence in earnest.

A communication was also read from

selected from the ranks of organized

Mr.. Neary informed the council Of
the condition in which he found the un-

and where the working of organizing
was most needed. At the conclusion of
his remarks the council decided to
complete the organization of a I'M
ion already begun, to send an organizer
to Winona for several weeks to organ
ize new unions and strengthen several
organizations at present existing there,
and afterwards to devote it's attention
to Mankato and Brainerd.
The council instructed the secretary
to secure an appointment with Michael

council hearing as to appointments
to be made on the committee on labor

TALK OF 4 SCALE.

The Woodworkers' Union Will Try
tn Arrange One.
Minneapolis, Dec. 20, Especial to Labor
ld.)-Much time of the last meeting
of the Woodworkers union was devot-
ed to the discussion of scale of wages
for the employees of the woodworking
factories during the coming season. 1t
is very difficult to make a scale of
wages for this union, owing to the
great diversity Of labor to be provided
for. After a good deal of discussion
it was decided to have the different
classes of employees in each shop meet
and agree upon scale. The general
desire is to frame a scale that will not
antagonize the empoylers.
The twin city Woodworkers' unions
are making fight on those mills that
do not employ union labor and pay the
scale Of wages. The State Federation
has taken up the fight with them and
is. sending out circulars through the
territory in which these firms sell
goods, for the purpose Of directing
trade from them.

Gle from so to 80 cents. Tea costs
from so cents to $1.2O. The tariff
duty is five cents per pound ON sugar,
1896 cents on coffee, and 1925 cents
on tea. Fish ranges from 20 to 60
cents per pound. Beef, mutton, veal
and port costs from 20 to 80 cents a

The finer silks, Velvets. broadcloths
and clothing made to order cost from
rs to so per cent less here than in the
United States; for ready-made goods
the prices are about the same. Cotton
goods, sheeting, shifting. ginghams and
calicoes are generally cheaper and Of
better make in the United States than
in France. The reason given me for
the difference in the price of furniture
is that ours is made by machinery,
and that of France by hand. If people
live more cheaply here than in the
United States, it is because they do
not live as we'll, and have not the means
to live better.-John e. Covert, United
