raahAora Echoes.

A skirt made in deep double hounce effect is one of the novelties.
 For street wear black kid tie with taffeta ribbon bow and high Cuban heel is strictly correct, and slightly more dressy is patent leather tie of the same order for street or house.
 Petticoats are an all important item. They should be fitted with as much care as the dress skirt, and the bottom is mass of friIls and f1ounces.
 With the low evening bodice band of tulle is drawn around the throat, with smartly tied butterfly bow at the back.

How to Clean I.nc,. at Home

In this day of lace on everything the maid or matron who has it at her throat, at her wrists and on every con- ceivable part of her gown has indeed to be millionaire to keep it fresh and clean, says the New York American
 The more costly and delicate of laces the wise woman takes to professional lace cleaners when it becomes discol- ored or soiled. This, however, is not necessary with the inexpensive and coarse laces that adorn everyday cos tunes. These may be cleaned at home, and the task of doing it is not labori- ous one. To clean lace properly it should be spread out on a fresh piece of white paper and covered with cal- cined magnesia- This should be placed thicldy upon the flmy lace Another bit of paper should be placed over it, and then it should be laid away with something heavy upon it to press out all the lines and creases. After two or three days it will be perfectly cleansed, and a gentle little shake will scatter the powder, and the delicate threads will come forth as fresh and clean as when first woven.

Suicides i'm Wet Weather.

It is a well known fact that after a rainy spell in Paris the banks of the Seine are sometimes fairly strewn with the bodies of suicides. It is usually found that the victims are absinthe drinkers or chronic users of some drug. Gloomy weather always sends them into fits of melancholy, and while in this state the impulse toward suicide becomes uncomfortable.

POtlaCh Lumber Co.'S.
Troubles

John B. Thompson, member Of
Federal union, No. s1s, of Princeton,
is In the city and complains of the
manner in which reports of the
trouble with the Potlatch Lumber
company have distorted facts. He
says:
The statement that members Of
the union at Palouse City dragged 40
Swedes from wagons while en- route
to the logging camps Of the company
Is untrue. The fact of the matter
Is there were about "a Russian Fins
and Italians, who were shipped from
Spokane, as they supposed, for rail-
way work. Instead Of that they were
started for the logging camps. Per-
suasion by union men induced them
to remain in Palouse City and they

THE statement was also made that
the union was trying to run the BUSH
ness of the company. That is not
so, All We want Is to conduct our
own. William Codd of Colfax, a
wealthy lumberman, accepted the
scale of the union without word,
but the Potlatch company would not
consider it and insisted that we pay
a hospital fee of 81 a month. We
wanted to know where the haspital
was but were greeted with the reply,
It's none of your business
"The men now receive from $35
to $50 n month in the logging camps
and the hours are 10 and more a day.

LuNCHE D WITH
SECRETARY HAY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Herran,
representing Colombia, presented
Secretary Hay with formal protest
of his government against American
recognition of Panama. The text was
not made public, but It Is understood
to be based on the alleged violation
of the treaty of 1886 between the
United States and Colombia.
Bunau Varilla, the new minister OF
the republic of Panama presented his
credentials and lunched with Secre-
tary Hay at the latter's residence to-
day.
Barilla is confident that short
time only will elapse before Panama
will be recognized as government
de jur instead of de facto.
Word was received this morning
that a commission Of three had been
appointed and will leave Panama for
Washington tomorrow for the pur-
pose Of negotiating a canal treaty.
Varilla will act in an advisory ca
pacity with the commission. The
financial terms of the treaty will be
the same as negotiated with Colon
bia, namely, s10,00O,O00 cash and
$250,000 yearly rental after the ex-
piration of seven years. In other re-
spects the treaty will be even more
favorable for America, which will
obtain exclusive jurisdiction over the
canal strip in all police and sanitary
matters, instead of divided control.
The formation of the new republic
of Panama and it's recognition by the
United States is looked upon with
satisfaction all over Italy. Old dis
putes between Italy and Colombia
have never been settled, as the latter

The long fight over the saloon ques-
ton in Waverly has been brought
to the courts in Spokane. On Sat
urday Deputy Sheriff Hone went to
Waverly and arrested Denny Barrett
and Jime Peake on a warrant issued
by Justice Stocker. charging them
with assaulting Abraham Robinson,
one of the most highly respected citi-
zens of Waverly, week ago Sunday
night as he was going home from
church.
In fact. there were two assaults
charged, in which Barrett was the
principal aggressive figure. The COM
planning witness says that he was
followed across the long bridge by
the two men and that Barrett knock
ed him down. Later Mr.. Robinson
started to return to the church. but
on meeting friends again sought to
return home when set upon the Sec
ond time. On the following morning
Barrett was arraigned before Justice
Sanders and fined $40, expressing
great surprise when informed that
costs were not assessed against him.

SALOON WAR GROWS
HOT AT WAvERLY

In celebration of the event Barrett
took the crowd of courtroom people
out for the drinks.
Mr.. Robinson thought that there
was. something of color in the trans-
action and made up his mind that in
the present state of the excitement
between the public and the saloonists
he would be unable to get Justice.
So he brought the charge In Justice
Stocker's court. alleging the second
assault. The feeling in Waverly runs
very high and it has been suggested
that things were fixed" but the ar
rest on the second charge and the
placing of the trial in Spokane has
caused perturbation among the sa-
loonists. Mr. Robinson has been one
of the leading anti-saloon element
and the allegation is made that Bar
rett was hired to make the assault in
revenge for Mr. Robinson's activity.
The two prisoners were arraigned
today before Justice Stocker. but on
the motion of the defendants attor-
neys the case was put over untfl
