Not content with attaching the head, wing
or breast of large bird or the entire body
of q smaller one to her hat, fair woman s
fancy has hit upon the conceit of an all
over feathered hat. The entire surface

Is said that these hats are void of offense
to the most sensitive Audubonite. since
they may be made from the shedding and
plucking of ordinary birds. 1t looks, how
ever, as If birds would be unable to sacri-
fee SO many feathers in a single season
without suffering In consequence. However,
the makers of fashion have little to do with
that side of the question, and the feathered
hats are in the shops and on the heads of
all sorts and conditions Of women. Some of
these hats are quite costly. yet they require
almost no trimming. so there is a saving In
that line. Unfortunately they are being imi-
tated in a cheap form. which Is likely to be
their doom. Feathered capes and boas. too.

ed in her arms. as though it were a
living child, Mrs. Abraham Coulter
covered the journey from Reno, New,
to Carriers, this state, keeping back the
tears as best she could and sharing
with no one the fact that her child
had died on the train. Mrs. Coulter
feared that if the conductor of the
train on which she was coming west
from her old home in Wisconsin
should learn of the little ones death,
he would take the corpse from her.
Accordingly she resolved to tell no one
the facts. and took care of her other
two children, who were with her
while holding the tiny corpse. She
arrived at Carriers yesterday, where
she met her husband, who had gone
several months ago from Wisconsin.

THEY FAIL TO AGREE.
Miners and Operators Coal Associa.
ton Fuss Over '.Pushers."

Pittsburg, Kan. Sept s.-After a
conference lasting until late Friday
afternoon, Commissioner Bennett
Brown, of the Operators association,
and President George Richardson, of
the Miners association, adjourned
their joint conference without being
able to reach an agreement in the
pusher question.
Fortunately by virtue of the con-
tract in this district between the min
ers and operators, there is no suspen-
sion of work pending the settlement
of the dispute, and the miners are
pushing the coal in the Western Coal
and Mining company and Chapman
Coal company mines, as required by
the companies, but keeping at the
same time a careful account of the ex-
ira labor involved, to be used later on
when a settlement is made.
If Commissioner Brown and Presi-
dent Richardson are unable to reach
an agreement, which seems likely, the
matter viii be referred to either Ma
tionaI President John Mitchell or it
will be taken up at a general joint
conference of the miners and ope-
rators' joint executive committees of
this district.

THAT ANTI-PAss AGREEMENT.
Passenger Agents Claim to Respect 1t
But Accuse Each Other.

Chicago, Sept. AT the meeting of
the Western Passenger association
held here yesterday the much talked
of and badly fractured anti-pass agree
ment adopted q month ago, whereby
the railroads agreed not to give any
free transportation or reduced rates
to influence traffic, came up for dis
cussion. 1t caused SO much talk that
the members of the association did
not get down to their regular routine
business until late in the afternoon.
Every passenger agent at the meet
ing was willing to take his solemn
official oath that his road had not
violated the agreement. but that every
other road had. That sort of a dis
cussion did not lead to much more
than recrirninations, and as a result
nothing was done towards mending the
fractures of the agreement and pre-
venting further damage to the weak
ened structure.
