comIno Strikes.

FROM Sauk fSdpluS oeIliHel.
1t is not only the strike upon the
Great Northern Railway System
which is scheduled to occur soon, but
of others, also, that are to occur from
time to time, to accomplish the ends
sought by the high strike authorities,
and by the walking delegates who do
the open work. that we would speak.
To the multitude of common people
who Judge by what they see and hear,
it is a cause of wonder and surprise
that an immense body of employees of
the Great Northern Railway Company
who are being paid all they ask, and
with their families happily located,
and with the most agreeable relations
existing with the company officials,
should permit themselves to be drawn
or voted into a serious strike over a
question or point that don't amount
to shuclxs to them; into a contest
likely to cost the employees their posi-
tions, apd consequently the loss of
their homes, which they cannot af
ford and on the other hand may cost
the company many millions of dollars
which it can afford, because all such
losses or burdens will be figured into
the company's expense account to be
paid by the future shippers on the
line-the ultimate end of all charges,
and in making which payments, the
farmer has the lions share.
But in blissful ignorance of his bur-
densome connection with the exciting
game, very many of the farmers are
constantly sympathizing with the
strikers, mainly because one of the
parties is corporation.
But passing by this threatened
strike upon the Great Northern Com
pany with its probable bad results
upon the country, it would be we'll for
the farmers and especially the large
farmers of western Minnesota and the
two Dakotas to understand that in
the epidemic of strikes which is upon
the country, those farmers may be hit
directly as well as indirectly. AS q
prelude to the game that will interest
them, quite a number of them during
last wheat harvest season were con-
fronted with the walking delegate"
among their harvesting crews who
readily exceeded to demanding an ex-
ira dollar or half dollar per day-a
demand there was no resisting. When
such organized movements cover the
country, and the demands are so eX-
DIS 10 dDSOID dlI I)IOllG III
the crop, then, the striking business
will not be amusing to farmers nor to
those who depend upon trade with
farmers. 1t makes difference whose
OK is being gored. AS the epidemic
spreads, the employers of smaller
numbers of men will be threatened.
That is not all. When there is adopt
ed sysctem under which those who
have nothing combine against those
who have excessive wealth, the popu-
larity of the thing spreads, and the
ground between those making the
raid to grab what they have not
earned, and those who are compelled
to resist and fight to keep what they
have earned, will become very narrow
and in a short time people of ordi-
nary means may have a struggle to
save themselves from organized plum
der. Old-fashioned law will be found
in end safer than the combinations of
today.

FANCY DRESS DETAILS.
New Fabzics and Designs That yvlIl
Figure in tae CostuEnes for
Warm weather.


The black materials are more varied
than of yore; there are some tempting
transparent fancy grenadines, singu-
larry cheap, which make up very we'll
over white, as fashion dictates, reports
the Brooklyn Eagle.
Black evening dresses are likely to
be as much in demand as ever, especi-
ally those that have the upper part
covered with minute paillettes, very
small at the waist and increasing in
size as they descend. A beautiful tulle
skirt thus treated met a trimming at
the foot composed of inch-wide satin
ribbon and lace insertion.
Many of the new serges are trimmed
at each seam, but have no Innings, and
drop fringes, gimps, and ornaments APP
pear on most gowns. A fayorite form of
gimp has graduated "rondels" filed in,
in the center with crossing stitches.
A charming white tulle dress lightly
dotted with spangles, has a fringe of
pink roses on the hem, and black net
dress closely covered with silver span
giles, lined with white, bears applica-
tious of white roses with excellent eff
feet.
The short sac-bolero, cape coat, or
coat cape-call it what you will, its boil
ero-like character clings to it still
is quite the feature of the modistic
hour as an outer covering.
Dainty little lace caps are being in
troduced in London and Paris, for
house wear. They are very popular
because of their becoming and soft
ening effect.
The white lawn tucked skirt com
pleted with the white lawn collar, and
the cravat of plaid or of spotted soft
silk, are worn with the tailor-made
dress.
cape suitable for a matron was
carried out in ivory-corded silk, with
cream lace applique, and softened with
accordion-plaited frills of chiffon.
For ordinary wear the putty-colored
faced cloths, with lace appliques or
embroidery, will be much in vogue for
coats; such garments as these are
generally cut la Chinoise.

A DISAGREEABLE DISEASE.
One That Amicts Many People in the
Home Well in Places
OF Business

There is no meaner disease OF
mind or body than that of fault
finding or worry. 1t may have
medical name; if so, we don't know
it, and if we did, it would do no
good, as there is no cure for the
pesky thing except death. Persons
afflicted with it are sure to let you
know they have it, and in less time
than it takes to tell, they have
made you and every one they come
in contact with miserable. The
weather, that furnishes such
topic for so many, is their peach
subject, and they thresh that over
until it is threadbare. They find
fault with everything. Their clerks
can never please them and their
customers call them Grabbed old
things" and finally go somewhere
else. They believe every one has it
in for them" and they enjoy no
peace of mind because always an
ticipating some evil thing that never
happens. If they ever get to heaven
they will find fault with everything
there. The only time they really
seem to- enjoy life IS when they are
pouring their ills, real and imaginary,
into your ears, says Gold and Silver
smith.
The less people hear of the ills and
aches of others the better they like
it. Each one has enough of his own
to bear without o-her persons bur.
dens, and the little sunshine they
have they don't want clouded over
with these woes.
People admire the pluck of the man
who, when his body is racked with
pain, never let's a sigh escape, or has
complaint to offer at any of the
bubbles of fortune, but in storm and
sunshine, in prosperity and adversely,
has always the cheerful and pleasant
smile for all. Such persons make the
world better for having been in it.

DOUBLE EADERS.

The Attitude of the Trainmen Reviewed.
AS rule, of late, railway employees,
trainmen especially, have been pretty
reasonable in their demands upon the
employing companies. The railways
have been enjoying a period of un-
usual prosperity, and it was not inap-
propriate that the employees should
ask reasonable increase in wages as
their share of the prosperity. For the
most part, railway managers recog-
nized the justice of the demand, and
wage scales have been raised quite
generally without anything serious in
the way of a strike. A strike is now
threatened on the Great Northern
Railway, which was one of the first
wages. The strike is now threatened,
not as a result of wage disputes, but.
over a matter of economy in the run
ming of train. AS the gravamen of
the dispute has been presented in the
Minneapolis newspapers, the Great
Northern trainmen are wholly wrong
in their contention and should be able
to count on little popular sympathy If
they make the refusal of their de-
mands the preteXt for a strike.
The dispute is over the use of
''douhle-headers." A ''double-header,"
in railway parlance, is train to
which two locomotives are attached.
The Great Northern Company desires
to use two locomotives to pull over
the heavy grades trains which on
more level track need only single
locomotive. The trainmen contend
that when two locomotives are used
two complete train crews must be en-
ployed, or that the single crew shall
receive double pay for the service.
The company, reasonably enough, it
would seem, argues that it has use for
but single train crew and has no
desire to employ more men than are
really needed. 1t argues, however,
that as the use of the extra engine
requires no extra work on the part
of the crew employed, the company is
Qot disposed to pay double wages to
that crew.
1t is not difficult to see what the
trainmen have in mind. If they can
''double-headers" the company must
run two trains instead of one to get
the same number of cars over a heavy
grade. Thus two train crews instead
of one will be given employment. The
trainmen insist that if the double
header be used the crew employed
shall be paid double wages, SO the
railway may not be able to find any
economy in the use of the double
header"
This is clearly a case in which the
labor organization is contending
against the logical economy of things.
1t is the same old protest against
labor-saving methods which has 50
often brought organized labor into
disrepute. The trainmen are insist
ing that the railways shall handle.
their transportation of freight in
more expensive way than modern in
genuity has been able to devise. In
so doing, the trainmen are arguing
against the interest of the railway
and that of the public as well. 1t is
the right of the railway 10 transact
its business on the most economical
methods. 1t is to the interest of the

ST. PAUL LACROSSE TEAM
READY FOR CALUMETS
Blue and White Players Take Final Prac-

The st. Paul lacrosse players had
light workout last evening the last be-
fore going On the field tomorrow to face
the Calumets.
Wadsworth was given some hard work
IN the goal and showed up creditably. AL
though he has never played the position
before, the management relies on him to
make good tomorrow. He will have two
good. heady men in front of him in Arm
strong and Cowie, the former excelling
especially in interruptions. Cowie having
formerly played on the home is more in
clined to carry the ball and maneuver for
position while Armstrong holds his posi-
ton firmly and refuses to be drawn out.
The opposing home being unable to pene-
trate the defense must necessarily resort
to long shots. and Wadsworth has proven
himself capable of taking care of those.
Elliott has been moved out to second
home field, where his tendency to play the
side lines will be of more advantage
than closer in. Brown will be placed at
outside" and If he fields his position
the way he has been doing in practice this
week, the Calumet goalkeeper will have
his hands full.
The way Brown receives a ball and
shoots on goal while squirming through
his opponents borders on the sensational.
He will be ably seconded by Kervin,
whose work has improved greatly since
the last match.
Advices from Chicago indicate that the
Calumets will be even stronger than be-
fore. Manager Donnelly's insiStence on
the enforcement of all field and boundary
rules show that the Windy City men
mean business and the outlook for keen.
hard contest Is promising.
