The Smart Woman's Hair

The rat is still in demand at all the
shops where these unbeautifully nam
cd aids to effective coffures are sold
and the plain, parted, Madonna style
of wearing the hair, though lauded py
man and approved by women with
seraphic expressions and perfect ieat-
ures, does not make much progress TO-
ward the goal of popular favor. Llght
waves are no longer considered good
form, but soft and puffy effects ana
hair worn low on the forehead charac-
terize the hairdressing of the women
who lead in these matters. Ihere Is
a tendency to lower the chignon, AZ
though many women never consent 10
low coiffures. no matter what the fash
ion may be, as high effects are SO
much more becoming. The low coil-
fure needs well-shaped head ana
pretty neck, and women who AFFECT IL
generally do so to call attention 10
these not at all common beauties. In
the days of her belledom Miss Same
Hargous, now Mrs. Duncan Elilot' al
WAYS wore her hair in n knot or a mass
of braids lust at the nape of her neck,
and Mrs. Langtry's low, careless coll
of golden hair served as well as sign
to call attention to the poise OF her
head and the exquisite line OF her
shoulders. These simple fashions are
usually for beauties. Average women
need something more sophisticated.
One of the newest ways of arranging
the hair is to wave it, draw 1t up al
most to the top of the head ana ar
range it in two loosely twisted Dows te
simulate ostrich tips. They are ehcir
cled at the base by narrow black vel
vet ribbon. and an upright Jewei OF
aigrette is placed between them. An
other style consists of twisted rolls %
hair so cleverly arranged above th'
waves that it is difficult to say whef'
one begins and the other ENDS. I'M

Copy of the Document Which
Occur d'Alene Miners Had
to Procure
Before They We're Allowed to
Work Exhibited to House
Committee.
Many Considered Them Badges of
misunderstanding Mans
Testimony.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The exam
ination Of A. F. Gill was continued be.
fore the Occur d'Alene investigating
committee. In response to inquiries by
Representative Lentz, the witness told
OF a visit to the ''bull pen" At that
time, a prisoner Glanced to put his
fingers through a hole in the side Of the
prison. T%hereupon the witness said a
colored soldier who was on guard on the
outside showed his bayonet at the pro.
truding fingers, inflicting a bloody
wound. A copy Of the permit required
Of those seeking work in the Occur
d'Alene district was introduced. Y re-
cited at length facts concerning the
holder, that he was not a member of a
union and that he took an oath
TO obey the law. The witness
said he had not taken ont a permit, re.
garding it as a badge of servitude.
and un-American to require an oath to
obey the law. Representative Jet made
the point that the law presumed that a
citizen obeyed the law. until otherwise
proved. The cross examination was di-
rected to showing that the permit sys-
tenn was designed to secure an orderly
force Of workmen in the mines. The
witness maintained. however, that its
effect was to blacklist those who did not
take out a permit, and also to set up an
"oligarchy' or aristocracy Of those in
control Of the permit system. He said
the class Of miners had deteriorated I'M.
der the system, so that now women did
not take the night trains, as many
drunken men carrying dirks in their
belts Were on board.
Representative Lentz produced q
form Of warrant which the witness
identified as the II in general use. 1t
vas in type writing wah blank spaces
for the insertion of names and directed
that the person named be taken and
held for violating the proclamation of
the governor of Idaho, declaring mar
tial law and the rules and regulations
Of the military district established
Hereunder.
w. r. Shields, a commercial traveller,
testified to being at St. Regis, Mon.
some distance from the Occur d'Alene
trouble when a miner named Francis
was placed under arrest by soldiers.
Shields said the townspeople stated that
Francis had worked there for many
months, including the time of the riot,
but he was nevertheless arrested and
taken TO the 'pen." The witness also
testified to the harshness of the soldiers.

Shenandoah, June 25.-An alleged
tor of Emmanuel Baptists church, San
francisco, is going the rounds. 1t WAS
in Rev. Gibson's church s1lat Blanche
Lamont and Minnie Williams We're
murdered few years ago. The double
murder was one of the most fendish
ever recorded. Theodore Durant, \
young medical student and prominent
Sunday school worker, was convicted
of the crime and hanged. Now comes
the fake report that Rev. Gibson on his
death bed confessed to being the real
murderer. Cyrus Reed Of this city
was in San Francisco at the time of the
murder and became deeply interested
in the case. When he heard recently
of Rev. Gibson's confession, he inquired
into the truth of the story and found it
was utterly without foundation. as the
following communication from the San
Francisco Examiner will show:
San Francisco, June 12.-Cyrus
Reed, Shenandoah, Iowa---Dear Sir.
The Rev. Mr.. Gibson. pastor of the
church in this city Of which Durant was
a member still lives and is preaching
in the same church. No confessions
have been made. A false rI:nor to
that intent has been circulated. out il
has no foundation, as the Rev. Gibson
is still living and still preaching and
has made no confession.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD DISASTER.
Thlrty.Five People Killed In Wreck
ON Southern Railway.

Atlanta, Ga, June Thirty-five
passengers on Southern railway
train We're killed in wreck near Nc
Donough, thirty miles south of this ci-
ty, Saturday evening. Not one of the
train crew or of the travellers in the
day coach escaped. Ten persons only,
the occupants of the Pullman coach,
the last car of the train, live to tell
the story.
A cloud-burst, followed by a flood in
Camps Creek, a tributary of the Ok
mulgee, washed out 10 feet of the track
a mile and half north of McDonough
soon after dark last night. Running
at full speed in terrible rain storm,
with the engineer unwitting of danger,
the train plunged into the gap in the
road. Baggage car, second-class coach
and the first class coach We're smashed
into splinters. On top of them crashed
the Pullman coach.
Then,in the bottom of a gorge ,partly
covered with water and with torrents
of rain falling, the wreck of the train
caught fire. The Pullman passengers
managed to make their way out to the
track, but no help for the others could
be had. In the morning rescue parties
had nothing to do but gather together
the thirty-five mangled and burned
corpses, some of which had been car
ried by the current a long way from
the scene of the disaster.
