PLASTERERS' UNION =. f..
NOMlNATES OFFICERS

It was a good meeting Of the plaster
ers' union that was held last Monday
evening in the Kalamazoo building.
Officers were nominated for the cleo
ton which will occur in two weeks.
The following are the lucky candi-
dates: For president, Richard Gala
han; vice presidents, Chas. Hall and
Sam Maghan; for financial secretary,
William ]. Watts; recording secretary,
Walter Jackson; delegates to the
Building Trades Council, Messrs. Fall
gren, Chas. Mcdonald and Samuel
Maghan.
Secretary Ed Perrott Of the union is
still employed at Fargo, and he is do
ing so well that there is little hope for
his return until late in the summer.
The union misses Mr.. Perrott's valu-
able services.
Work at the trade is none to good
at this writing. There is but little
demand for tradesnen at home on &C.
count of the lull in building.

turned Wednesday from a months

To a Gasoline Enaine.-

From the Red Wing Republican,:
The editor Of the LIE Sueur News
does not own gasoline launch
neither did Job-but he does own a
gasoline engine with which he runs
his printshop. His experience has
taught him to express eloquent
thoughts feelingly and what he says
might well be spread on the records
Of every launch club: to be read
through large magnifying glass. He
relieves himself as follows:
II have driven balky horses, sulky
mules, and worked on g. plow that
wouldn't scour; run sled in the mud,
and put UP stovepipes that did not fit
on stoves that had no: draught; I've
been broke long ways from home
and had friends turn against me with
out cause; I have run for office and
been defeated; had the measles, whoop-
ing cough and itch; seuffered disap-
pointment in love and had fortune
snatched from my grasp; but I never,
no never, knew what utter grief this
world could inflict on a man until /
went against balky gasoline engine.
For pure, undefiled and unlimited
cussedness it has no equal and there
is yet no known method by which you
can vent or satisfy your wrath against
it. 1t is simply cold iron and cold
proposition.

Statues in Public Parks,

From the Architectural Record:
In designing garden or square, the
fixing of sites for future statues should
be to the design as obvious problem
as the fixing Of tree sites in respect
to their future growth. Thus every
design should be considered as a COM
plete whole. There should be fixed
number Of sites for future use, the
utilization Of which completes the or
iginal idea, and excludes the introduce
ton Of further monuments. How far
from this are the actual conditions
needs no telling to the observant New
Yorker. The prevailing method Of
placing statuary in our gardens is a.
farce-a disgrace to the park. depart
ment, an eyesore to the public and a.
heartbreaking reflection to the scu1p-
tor. 4
( The majority of the sites for these
statues appear as mere afterthoughts,
which In reality they are-utterly in
congruous to their surroundings. They
seem, to have been -waylaid enroute to

Freight Handlers Trouble: In Chicago
Threatens to Take Serious
Turn.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-All the freight
handlers employed by the Chicago
Terminal Transfer company at its
Western avenue depot struck today be-
cause Of the discharge Saturday Of
Twenty-Five men who refused to handle
freight from the Kellogg Switchboard
& Signal company.
Business at the station is temporarily
at a standstill.
Outwitted by the company, which
succeeded IN shipping several carloads
of Kellogg Switchboard & Supply Co.'S
freight out of Chicago without inter-
ference from the freight handlers,
President Ourran, Of that organization,
was aroused to action tonight and pre-
pared to enlist the switchmen's union
IN his efforts to plunge the railroads Of
Chicago into a general strike.
Though the threatened strike failed
ton grew more serious when Grand
Master Frank Hawley, national presi-
dent of the Switchmen's union, arrived
from Buffalo and held a two-hours'
conference with President Curran and
some of the teamsters. The switchmen
have been asked to refuse to handle the
cars of the Terminal Transfer COM
pany and cars in any freight yards
where the Kellogg company may send
loads Of freight in the future. Hawley
refused to state whether the switchmen
would enter the conflict and Curran
also was non-committal on the subject.

UNION MEN QUIT MILITIA.

LA CROSSE, Wis, July 16.-On ac-
count Of the prejudices Of labor unions
against the militia and the rush of
business in all lines, Company Nj, of
the Third Regiment, which for several
years has held the best record for COM
pany firing in the State, went into camp
at Camp Douglas, Saturday, with only
a handful Of men and with all hope of
retaining it's laurels this year prac-
tically gone. .<>.. - ,.::-
During. the past.year the labor unions
have 5enjoyedsu nprecedent eroszth In
Ia Crosse and 1 now control ali lines of
trade. On account Of an antagonism
toward State militia a number Of union
men have quietly dropped out Of the
two local companies. In addition to
this the company suffers greatly be-
cause all lines Of business are now
working overtime ana cannot spare
any of their men for the short item re-
quired In camp. The result is another
reduction in the company's ranks.
AS it is manifest that the company
cannot be maintained unless some one
takes an interest in it, a committee has
been appointed to call upon the manu-
facturers and other employers of the
nilitiamen to induce them to change
their views and allow their men to 70

PAPER HATS ARE POPULAR,
Chicago Chapeau "Worked Up" by /,
Girl Of That City.

Girl Of That City.
From the Chicago Tribune:
The girl in the paper hat will be the
belle Of the parks and the lakes and
the summer resorts this coming sum-
mer. The paper hat is the prettiest hat
ever invented, according to knowing
beauty lovers and critics, and it can
be made as dainty and delicate as a
hand-tucked chiffon, without costing e.
third Of the latter's price.
Just how strong is this point in
favor Of the paper hat only those in
dividuals who have bought and paid
for the lovely but perishable
chiffon "creations' can realize. And
when it is added that the paper hat
will wear far better, withstand far
more varied and trying tests and con-
ditions than the chiffon beauty, the
secret Of the paper hats inevitable
popularity and prominence is most
clearly explained. And when it is fur
Their added that while the paper hat
from violent rain storm, it will bear,
undimmed and unaltered, the most
brilliant sunshine and the soaking and
dispiriting mists that reduce it's chif-
fon rival to a. decidedly limp condition.
no woman will wonder that the orders
for paper hats are piled up far ahead
Of the few people who can successful
ly "create" them, nor that at least
every other woman in Chicago is lay
ing plans for a most stunning hat to
be worn during the hot days Of the
coming summer.
The pretty things appeared stimuli
taneously last June on two continents
and in many places, but to Miss Olive
artist: of Chicago. and the west, be-
longs the credit of having worked
up" the paper hat from the merest I'M
considered trifle Of accidental and ephe-
neral millinery, to a thing, Of: real ar
tistic value and undeniable charm. Z; !.
The shapes BON J Whish 5 the hats Of
paper are made, up are precisely the
same as those employed for any other
kind Of millinery process. The colors,
styles, modes Of, decoration and gener-
al appearance are all Of similar order
and correctness. The floral bandeaux
diaphanous scarfs and drapings, to-
gether with fancy hat pins, leafy
wreaths and all the delicate ideas and
devices utilized in dainty hats of more
costly material are brought to bear
upon the paper hat problem no less
effectively.
Every age, size and style Of the FEM
mime hat wearer from the tiny two
year-old up to the sweet girl graduate,
bride and bachelor girl stages, can be
suited in paper hat of most approx
ed and becoming shade and manner,
nor has the little widow been ne
elected or forgotten by any means
She, together with the stately grand
mother, whose throngfng years and de-
scendants forbid her to appear girl
ishly attired, may wear as pretty and
taking hat of paper as the veriest
girlish belle.
