MlLLlNeRS FLOCK TO TOWN
Makers of WOmen's HeadGear Here
to Gather Latest Ideas
of Fashion.

The town Is full Of milliners. They are
here from Iowa, from Missouri, from the
Dakotas, indeed from every western state
and territory, and they are still coming.
These women, young and old, but all
sprightly. are not gathering in Omaha to
discuss any intricate question Of sociology.
Their purpose is merely to attend the open
ing OF Omaha's wholesale millinery house
and get into their heads ideas for the
decoration of other feminine heads.
They are here to ascertain what kind Of
fowl and how many colors of ribbon It will
be proper to serve with the 1901 spring
hat. They will incidentally learn from the
models just brought from the east by their
jobber whether 1t will be proper in the
coming spring to build a woman's hat in
the shape of the congressional library or 10
follow the simpler lines of a battleship
When the milliner arrives at the whole
sale house her first object is to inspect the
novelties in trimmed hats When she sees
one the construction of which she does not
exactly understand. or whose contour she
desires to especially fix upon her memory,
she secures from the house the material
required and sitting at table provided
for the purpose makes a copy of the model
When she has finished her studies she has a
number OF model hats. which she takes
home for her fashionable patrons. These
pattern hats usually bring a little higher
price than the hats made in the local
house. as they are in most cases the first
OF the latest designs to reach the town.
The great day at the wholesale house is
when the out -of-town milliner begins 10
make her purchases. From all quarters
are brought the newest things in frames
ribbons, plumes, flowers. foliage and the
thousand and one things which go to make
up modern feminine headgear. The pur-
chaser decides as to the goods which will
be most in demand by her trade. places her
orders and returns home. 1t is estimated
that during the two weeks OF the opening
in Omaha 500 millners from surrounding
towns will visit the city and remain from
three days to two weeks.

GROVE AND PAL AS HEROES
woman Who Believes Her Life Was
Saved by Kidnapping
Suspects.

Pat Grove and James Callahan figure as
the heroes in a life saving incident that
happened about two years ago In Council
Bluffs. Mrs. Jesse Simpson. now residing
in Sioux City, owes the fact that she is
alive today to Callahan and a friend who
was known as Ed Johnson. but who the
Simpsons believe was Pat Grove
The Simpsons at the time lived at the
corner OF Avenue A and Thirty first street,
Council Bluffs. next door to the Joe Kelley
home, Mrs Kelley being sister of Gala
han. When Mrs. Simpson was ironing one
day she was startled to see the blaze from
her gasoline stove rising rapidly TO the tank
of fluid which cupplied the burner. When
she was in danger Of heing caught by the
flames her daughter ran to the next door
and called for help. Callahan and Johnson
They carried the stove with its
burning gasoline out Of the house and then
a table on which some of the blaz-
ing oil had been split.
Simpson was well acquainted with Pat
Grove and from the description which his
wife gave of the man Johnson and from the
pictures OF Grove which Mrs. Simpson has
since seen, they are both convinced that 1t
was Pat Grove who assisted Callahan in re-
moving the stove before It exploded.

THIS FIRE Is PERSISTENT
REFUSES TO Yield to the subduinu
Efforts of the De-
partmcnt.

An alarm of fire was turned in early
Tuesday morning from 1929 Maple street.
The fire department on reaching the
ground found an unoccupied residence in
flames and the distance OF the burning
building from the nearest fire house gave
the flames a good start before the engines
arrived. The house was worth about $500
and the damage amounted to $500.
Just before noon Tuesday the fire was re-
kindled and another run to Maple street
was made. The fire had smoldered along
during the night and broke out afresh, but
the flames gained but little headway before
they were extingushed.

AMERICAN SUPREMACY
Austria Forced to Admit it and Seeks De.
fensive Measures.

VIENNA, Oct. 24.-At a meet
ing of committees representing
Austrian agricultural and manu-
featuring interests, held in
Vienna last night to discuss
measures for coping with trans
oceanic competition, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
I'm view of the commercial
policy of the United States and
the example of Germany, a COM
plete recasting of the Austro-
Hungarian customs tariff is adj
visable, in order to afford ade-
quate and permanent protection
to industry and agriculture, to
facilitate the conclusion of favor
able commercial conventions,
and 20 promote expectation.
Following the example of the
United States, facilities offered
by the customs tariff for cOnces.
siOns should be turned to advaE-
tage in the case of every individ-
ual state. Treaties should con-
tain no clause granting the most
favored nation treatment in a
general and unrestricted sense,
but clauses should be inserted
providing for reciprocity and
equivalent advantages.
A further resolution advocated
the conclusion of commercial
treaties for long periods, where
they would give sufficient pro-
lection to home production, but
recommended treaties for short
periods with the United States
and the Argentine Republic, urg-
ing in conclusion that the coun-
tries of central Europe should
unite for a common defense
against transoceanic competi-
ton"

HAMMOND'S GREAT FIRE

pany plant was discovered on
fire early last evening, and the
greater portion of it was destroy
ed The damage is estimated at
half a million dollars. At least
1,000 men will be thrown out of
work. Engines were sent from
Chicago, and when Assistant
Fire Marshal John Campion ar
rived, at eleven o'clock, five
acres had been burned. He at
once recommended that all eff
forts of the combined depart
ments-Hammond, Pullman, and
Chicago-be made to keep the
fire from spreading to the west
end of the plant. When he ar
rived the beef-killlng house,
sheep-killing house, export cool

injured Albert Buchner and J..
Maloney, members of the Ham
mond fire department. They
were taken to ST. Margaret's
hospital. Both mems arms and
legs were broken. They were
taken from the debris in an
unconscious condition. 1t is
thought they will die.
There was stampede in the
cattle pens at the time the fire
broke out. and after considerable
trouble employees of the company
succeeded in corralling the COWS
in the east end of the plant.
The Hammond plant was es-
tablished in the early '70s by

pioneer dressed-beef establish

ISTHMIAN CANAL TALK
London Spectator Tells how its Construc.
ton Would Help Great Britain.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-'rhe Spec.
tator, dealing with the question
of the isthmian canal, says:
when once the canal is made
by the United States, opened to
the whole world on equal terms
and held so strongly that NO
power at war with Great Britain
will be able to violate it's neutral.
ity, the British nation will realize
that, instead of the abrogation
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
proving an injury, it is.a great
benefit to the nation.
''That America, though she
will make. work, and hold the
canal, should bind herself to pre-
serve its neutrality as regards a
power with which she might be
at war, is absurd. Such stip-
ulation would not and could not
be observed ten minutes after
war is declared. The American
isthmian canal, like everything
else American, will be used
against Americas enemies in
case of war, whatever jurists
may say. We should do the same
in case of the Suez canal"

China May Recall WI.

PEKIN, October 24-There is
strong opposition among conser-
vative Chinese officials to WI
Ting Fang, Chinese minister al
Washington, retaining foreign
mission. Those who take this
view consider that his popularity
abroad is a proof that he is not
sufficiently loyal to the interests
of China. 1t is probable that he
will be recalled and given a po-
Sition on the new board of foreign
affairs, where his linguistic and
legal attachments may be utilized
under the eye of the govern
ment.
