Among the prettiest of the many new
materials copied after fabrics in vogue a
century or more ago. are the soft fiowered
silk and lightweight brocades that are
now being extensively used for dinner
and evening gowns. They should be
made after old-fashioned models to carry
out the idea of the time or half the charm
of these beautiful silks will be lost. A
lovely model for dinner gown is shown
by the accompanying Illustration. 1t is
made of the palest imaginable shade of
yellow chiffon taffeta figured with small
clusters of pink rosebuds and green leaves,
combined with pale yellow mousseline
and black velvet ribbon, and lined with
white taffeta. The full skirt is shirred
over cords at the top. has a short train
and opens over a front panel or petticoat
of accordion plated mousseline, which is
trimmed by the clusters of three black
velvet ribbon straps tied into tiny bows
in the middle; and edging the silk skirt
around the bottom and up the side of the
front is narrow graduated ruffie Of the
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-12-29

flowered silk. The bodice is cut with
long point in front and is made of the
draped silk, shirred through the middle
of the front where it opens and is fasten-
ed by six small black velvet bows. The
neck is v shaped and is edged with black
velvet and wide collar of princess lace
which falls in deep points over the bust
and shoulders. The elbow sleeves are
ruched to match the bodice and are trim
med with double, finely plated ruffies Of
pale yellow mousseline tied through the
middle by black velvet ribbons. This
gown is very simple, but when made of
such a silk as described on a dainty two
toned brocade 1t is remarkably effective
and is a model that may be worn On so
many different occasions that it will be
found most useful. Small sized bags,
similar to those used for opera glasses,
etc. are often made of the same silk as
these gowns and are carried with them
or fastened to the waist by a handsome
pin, and besides being picturesque they
prove very useful for handkerchiefs and
gloves.

Drum, of the Prescott School, of Syra-
cuSe, apropoS of self government in
the schools. 1t is sound wisdom to
harness the strong, manly, though
sometimes mischievous, boy to the
load drawn by the teacher that he
may help pull it; he seldom fails if
given a chance. The So-called incor
rigible boy is often a misunderstood
boy In a school of teacher bossism
and domination free expression is un-
known except upon the streets and in
the home. The pupils of a school gov
ernment select delegates to conven-
tions, nominate and elect officers, who
perform the functions of their respec-
tive offices with dignity, delight, court
esy and wisdom. They enter into
the spirit of it with interest and zest.
A new idea of school affairs possesses
them. They are part of it and have
voice in the making and execution
of laws.
In one school was boy so mean
that he would bring live rats and re-
lease them upon the schoolroom floor
His mother said that he was mean
as a baby. An election placed him in
a position of trust and the change
was marvellous. He became a better
boy, In another school a boy was ir-
regular in attendance, untidy in dress
and almost incorrigible. A place of
responsibility in the school government
caused the formation of better habits
of dress, conduct and attendance.
Even before the st. Louis exposi-
ton opened it was evident that one
of the greatest needs would be a home
for girls who were attracted to the
city by the hope or the promise of en-
ployment. To meet this need, says
Charities" a committee of ST. Louis
women opened the Emmaus home, and
here 174 young women have been shell
tered, and, in some cases, saved from
a terrible fate. A representative Of
the home is constantly at the station
to aid friendless girls arriving in the
city. At first the union station was
closed to those who wished to carry
on such work, but a grand jury de-
cision following an early instance of
a fragrant sort opened the doors soon
after. Nearly every state in the Union
has been represented among the pro-
teges of the Emmaus home, and it
has entertained girls from Germany,
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Japan and
Hawaii.
For a few months after the close of
the fair the need will be even more
acute than it has been hitherto, on
account of the large number of girls
who will be thrown out of work, and
after this it is intended to continue
the home as a permanent home for
working girls.

Should Be Able to Support Husban

Should Be Able to Support Husband
CHICAGO, Dec 2S.-N. w. Ferris,
recent democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Michigan, in an address be-
fore the National Commercial Teach
ers' federation here advised women
stenographers and women in general
not to marry until they are in a posi-
ton to support a husband.
Until a woman is able to support a
husband, she should not contemplate
matrimony," declared Mr.. Ferris:
while 1 believe it is the duty of every
woman to marry, still l also believe
that before taking SO serious a step a
girl should look ahead and prepare for
possible future misfortunes. Therefore
every girl should fit herself for an
emergency and be prepared to step
into her husbands place in the sup
port of the family in the event of
anything Detailing him which will un-
fit him for work"

Geddes Has Won with Her Petition
Matter Now Up TO the Voters
Proposition TO Go on Ballot.

The county board has disposed OF the
Geddes and Platte County seat petitions.
They took up the Platte petition and al
ter counting all additional petitioners,
numbering sixty, filed April ), and all re-
Withdrawals and Withdrawals therefrom
and all affidavits pertaining thereto.
found that there remained only l.0o2 ie-
gal voters on the Platte petition, ana that
1,455 was a majority OF the legal voters
of Charles Mix County, and as Platte
lacked majority of the legal voters on
her Ietition it was denied. They then
took up the Geddes petition and found
that with fifty-seven petitioners present.
ed April 5, it contained the names of
1855 legal electors of the county, that
no Withdrawals were filed against the
Geddes petition, and that as it contained
more than ,455 legal voters, that being
majority of the voters Of the county,
they granted the Geddes petitions and
instructed the county auditor to place the
question, Shall the county seat be re-
moved from Wheeler to Geddes," on the
official ballot.
The question is now up to the voters
to determine at the next general election.
This ends hard fought battle, and
one in which both sides put up the best
fight they had. Under the circumstances
Platte made good fight, but as she was
so far removed from the center OF the
county the sentiment of the people was
against her. If it were not for the fact
that the citizens of Platte are hustlers
and good fighters Geddes would have had
walk away from the start.
Geddes is now put on her best behav-
Tor, and il she improves he opportunity
she will be the metropolis OF Charles Mix
County.

CITY OF MOURNING.
1T. Petersburg Stunned by News OF
Disaster.

ST. Petersburg Is city of mourning
and all seem haunted by the fear that
worse news is TO come. No one believes
that the full extent of Russia's calami-
ties is known even to the car, and the
feeling Is that the next twenty-four
hours viii gradually unfold tale of al
most crushing disaster.
The transition from calm to horror has
been violent
Early "Wednesday morning kilograms
told how the Easter fetes had passed off
at the front undisturbed and the midday
special editions said there was no news
beyond details about handful Of Japan
csc crossing the Yalu.
Suddenly ugly rumors began to be
heard and passed from mouth to mouth
Of n naval disaster at Port Arthur-that
the line of battleship Petropayloysk had
been sunk and that Grand Duke Cyril.
whose brother, Grand Duke Boris, had
just arrived at Port Arthur had been
wounded and only nine officers saved. A
little later'it was added that Vice Adj
miral Makarof was dead with GOO of his
crew either killed or drowned. The news
was so entirely unexpected, as is easily
imagined, that il came rs stunning
blow.
Towards 3 o'clock the Empress Marie
and the son of Grand Duke and heir APP
parent drove to the winter palace, both
looking extremely serious. Simultaneous
Iy the carriages OF other members OF the
imperial family gathered at the winter
palace, while the people, not knowing
what had taken place, were wondering
what it all meant
Failing details. the general idea pre-
vailed that the ship had been torpedoed
or had struck sunken mine. The peo-
pie almost refused to believe the news
10 be true. Later it appeared the Grand
Duke Cyril was wounded, but had saved
himself by jumping overheard, and was
rescued by boat.

GUARD Err. .kROEGER's BANK.
Fear OF Attempt to Rob Strong Box
at Epiphany.

In the belief that two expert cr,,cks-
men have engaged in conspiracy to rob
the strong box of Father Kroeger. the
priest healer of Epiphany. an armed
guard has been placed over the treasure.
Epiphany is situated in an out OF the
way place. and as il is known that Faith
er Kroeger always has on hand many
thousands of dollars in cash. the fear
thar robbers, urged on by the possibility
of securing rich prize, might raid the
bank, appears TO be based on solid
foundation.
What gave rise to the present scare
was the appearance in Epiphany day
or two ago of two mysterious strangers.
One of them deposited the sum Of $40 in
the bank owned and operated by Father
Kroeger.
Subsequent developments indicated
that the strangers purpose in visiting the
bank to make deposit was TO familiar
ize himself with the interior Of the bank
and ascertain the location and kind of
safe and vault used-information which
was, of course. necessary if a successful
raid on the bank was contemplated.

TERRiBLE EXPLOSION.
Five American Oficers and Twenty.
Six Men Killed.

Pensacola, Fla, special says: BY the
explosion of 1000 pounds Of powder in
the 12-inch turret and the handling room
Of she battleship Missouri, Capt VIM. s.
| Cowies commanding, twenty-nine men
were killed and five injured. two proba-
bly, fatally.
The Missouri was on the target range
with the Texas and the Brooklyn at prac-
tice about noon Wednesday, when a
charge Of powder in the 12-inch left hand
gun ignited from gases, exploded, and
dropping below ignited four charges OF
powder in the handling room, causing all
20 explode.
But for the prompt and efficient work
of Capt. Cowles in flooding the handling
room and the magazine with water one
OF the magazines would have been exEl0d-
ed and the ship would have been de-
stroyed.
According to Lieut. Hammer, about
noon, after the first pointer of the rear
l2-inch piece had fired his string and
the second pointer had fred the third
shot of his string, the charge ignited.
The fourth shot was loading. and froiS
all indications the first half of the charge
had been rammed home and the second
section was ramming home when gases
from the shot previously fired or portions
of the cloth cover ignitei the powder.
The breech was open, and dull thud
gave noti.e of something unsual. No
loud report was heard, but flames were
seen to leap from every portion of the
turret.
a few seconds later another explosion,
somewhat more fierce, occurred. This
was in the handling room below, where
1000 pounds of powder, or four charges,
ready to be hoisted, had ignited.
The men in the turret were found in
heap. They had started for the exit
when the first explosion occurred, and
had just reached the door when the more
terrible explosion in the handling room
occurred, burning and strangling them
to death

BONDAGE HIS REFUGE
UNION BUSINESS AGENT WANTS
TEN YEARS or SLAVERY.
Fears Poverty In Old Age-T. y.
Quinn, Orator and Theorist. Says
There is Nothing in it'--sLeep

L. i. Quinn OF Chicago wants to ga

Grafton of labor orator, and as writer OF
feryid resolutions for public meetings. he
announced Friday that he was ready to

OF occupation, he said, had proved de-
fusion and snare, and ne was anxious
TO obtain something that could be count
ed on to provide for old age.
But Quinn admitted he did not know
what TO "go at" He also confessed that
he felt his training in his business agent
career had untitled him for directing his
own affairs. Wherefore he made this
proposition:
Il will agree to work for ten years for
any man. he said, Eat any task he may
put me at on these terms: No money
is to be paid me during the term, but |
am to be provided with my board and
clothing; at the end OF ten years / am to
receive forty acres Of land in payment
for my services.

not to attend church once i'm the ten
years.
Quinn said that he would ike some
gentle, plodding task. like herding sheep
or gardening, so that his meditations on
sociological problems should go on I'M
interrupted. The stir of cattle raising
on large scale would ruffe his sensibi-
tiles, he believed, and the labor connected
with grain and hay raising would be too
rduous

WILL DELAY SEEDING.
One OF the severest Snow Storms of

One of the severest snow and wind
storms of the winter followed Thursdays
rain at Huron. The storm set in from
the northwest and is in progress with no
indication of abatement. Seeding, which
is very backward, will be delayed several
days. The temperature is mild, and
stock will not suffer.
