Turner TAKEN BACK
Man Wanted in Oklahoma
Found in Minot Hospital
Brought Home.

Minot. N. D., Jan. 14.-Deputy Sheriff
Cooper of Cade county, Oklahoma was
in this city Saturday with a warrant
for the arrest of man named Wade
Turner who was confined in a Minot
hospital receiving treatment for an in
jury sustained last fall while working
on the 500 road near Max.
Turner is charged with the murder
and criminal assault of young girl
at Bridgeport, Okla, three years ago.
His whereabouts became known
through letters written to relatives.
Turner is in such a critical state
that the authorities have deemed it
best not to acquaint him of the charge
of murder hanging against him.
Sheriff Cooper left yesterday with
his prisoner for Oklahoma. The
charges against Turner may never be
pushed.

Fashion Paragraphs

New York, Dec. 12.-It's every bit
as essential to have a skating costume
perfect in its way as it Is to possess
the correct style Of reception or ball
dress. and it is the greatest mistake to
think that any old dress will pass mus
ter simply because 1t is to be put to
hard usage. Naturally, anyone living
out of town or intending regularly to
pass the week ends in the country will
feel the necessity of correct skating
costume more keenly than one who
can only rarely indulge in this most
delightful sport.
Corduroy makes the most attractive
skating costume. A color that is pc
culiarly becoming should be selected,
for the dress must be most simply
made. relieved only by the fur collar
at the throat and possibly by some
bright color in the hat. Red is the
most effective and is always charming
for winter. White corduroy is scarcely
practical, but trimmed with mink ur
sable it would be difficult to conceive
of a more charming costume. Any
u
smooth finish, and the bright shades Of
blue. red, green or brown are all at
tractive against the fur. 1t is better
to have the collar and sleeves directly
lined, or rather faced, with fur, or TO
have double collar of fur attached
to the coat than to wear a separate
stole or boa, which is sure to be con-
tinually slipping of and to be con-
slant form of annoyance. A brilliant
red cheviot trimmed with mink or
brown marten worn with hat of the
same kind of fur does not make such
an expensive costume, and nothing
could be more effective.
To be correct skating skirt should
be unusually short-df becoming it
need come but an inch or SO below
the high boot-for If too long it will be
continually catching in the skate, and
besides will quickly become damp from
the ice. 1t should be full but have as
few points as possible, for it is a
nuisance to have this style of skirt
constantly pressed of, and yet plates
that have come out" are exceedingly
ugly. A plain three-qurater or high
length coat with fitted or semi-fitted
back and box front is altogether the
smartest model. The so-called three
quarter jackets are some inches short
ert than those of last year and save for
elaborate coats for afternoon wear
there are few of the long models.
Long sleeves with turned back cloth
or fur cuffs are alone sensible. The
jacket should be full and large, as 1t
will often need to be worn over heavy
Goth waist, and often over sweater
as we'll, for save in extreme weather
a fur cloak is too heavy to skate In
with any degree of comfort.
A smart skating costume may be
made of pastel blue cloth, a simple
cloth waist, short full skirt and plain
three-quarter jacket. To be slipped on
after skating in this suit, a long fur
lined coat of the same shade Of CLOTH,
trimmed with wide mink collar, rev.
ers and cuffs, is charming combina-
ton. A little blue velvet toque trim
med only with mink head and tails
sets of this skating costume to ad-
vantage.

Afternoon wraps differ chiefly from
those designed for evening wear in COL
oring, but there are other points of
unlikeness which are perhaps not no
ticeable, but just as real. Cloth and vel
vet are the principal materials made
use of, but there are some silks and
satins that are also in demand. To At,
comfortably over handsome recep-
ton gown wrap must be loose every
way, and it shold be sufficiently long
to be a real protection for the dress.
With light cloth or velvet reception
gown the cloak may be made like
loose separate wrap, so that it may
be worn when desired with the gown,
but without it the dress will be quite
complete. The wrap can then be worn
with any other form when the occasion
demands.
An excellent style for an afternoon
wrap and a good design for a cloak
that may be worn with cloth dress
or over light silk gown is a model
in peacock blue broadcloth made with
deep empire yoke in back. While in
front the cloth hangs loose from the
shoulders, although fitted flat across
the shoulder. The collar is bordered
with black velvet crossing over in front
and under meiallions of passemen-
terie. The full short sleeves are fin
ished of with wide velvet cuffs be-
low which falls soft ruffles of lace.
Another wrap much worn is of
wine-colored silk fancifully braided
and trimmed with silk cording the
shade Of the material The collar and
cuffs are of velvet a shade deeper
in tone than the rest of the coat. This
design could also be initiated in light
weight cloth or in chiffon velvet If
silk is not sufficiently warm for this
time Of year. The long slopeing Shout

Important to Washington.

Ringing announcement has been
made of the international Congress
on tuberculosis TO be held in this
city in the fall of 1908. II will be
well if we who are 10 be the hosts
understand at this early date the
Importance of that gathering. For
not only may its deliberations be
expected to encourage and direct
the fight on the great white
plague in America, but TO bring to
the Capital the most distinguished
foreign scientists.
The latest international congress
on this subject was held in Paris in
1908. Prior to that one was held in
London, in 1902. Both cleared the
study of tuberculosis of many diff
ficulties- To them is due largely the
growing public appreciation of the
fact that tubercular affections are
practically all avoidable and durable
if taken in time. The conference in
Washington may be expected to in
form the public particularly how TO
take those affections in time.
A tuberculosis exhibition and n
course of thirty public lectures by
eminent students of the disease will
add to the general interest in the
Congress. The Government of the
United States will help in the first
enterprise if seven of the nine exec
utive departments can obtain the
authority to do so which they seek
from Congress. The second special
feature will give the laity opportun-
ity to hear popular talks from men
of the widest medical fame. Physi-
clans, sociologists, students, veteri-
narians, and everyone else concerned
in the public health Will find in the
Congress the interest they have an
ticipated by subscribing S1OO 600 to
pay its expenses.
Finally, Washington will have a
special and local, though melancholy
reason, for welcoming the Congress.
Our standing among the cities as to
tuberculosis is we'll enough known.
We have more to gain than most of
our fellows by learning how to com
bat this ailment. It will behoove us
not only 10 entertain the Congress
as well as we can, but to attend on
its deliberations with the closest at
tention.

The MikadO Again.

Naturally there is a certain
amount of protest at the British
governments prohibition of the pro-
duction of The Mikado,' while
some eminent japanese were guests
of the state. But we fear most of
this is ironical and political rather
than Legitimate. For instance, Vim
cent Kennedy, lively Irish Nation
alist, has given notice in parliament
that he will question the govern
ment as TO whether Premier Camp
bell-Bannerman will prohibit the
presentation of Hamlet" since
Denmark is a friendly power and
Danish king is therein portrayed as
q murderer.
Of course, this is all very witty
and amusing, but it does not rob
the governments decision of its
sound common sense. ''The Mikado''
was a gay and volatile skit on Japan
and its ruler at the time it was
written, when little was understood
of the empire, and no one was pre-
pared 10 reason whether or not the
Mikado used to go about singing
what his object all sublime" was or
of the various bores whom he was
going to make the punishment fit
the crime" Times have changed
since the middle SOS and to Iampoon
a ruler of Japan is no longer either
smart or wise.
Mr.. Kennedy's query on Hamlet"
might be matched with a dozen
others equally pertinent, though
perhaps not quite so funny. The
world is full of plays and operas
founded upon the baseness or the
cruelty of various rulers. More sat
isfactory to a national pride is it
TO have ones king pictured as n
murderer than as silly ass dancing
about the stage of an impossible
comic opera.

The Bird O. Freedom.

1t really makes very little differ
ence to the world at large and the
dear ladies in particular whether
the eagle of the United States seal
ard gold coins is male, or, as Lille
Devereux Blake unhesitatingly and
unblushingly asserts, of the femi-
nine persuasion. To be sure, there
might be room for argument as TO
whether or not the act of the seal
eagle in holding an olive branch in
one talon and lot of arrows in the
other is characteristic of the gentler
sex. 1t might also be worth while
inquiring if Mrs. Blake has deter
mined on the gender of the birds of
the seals of Alabama, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Missouri, New Mexico. New
York, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.
But on general principles it is best
not TO combat the discovery which
staggers the boss ornithologists Of
the land. If the woman suffragists
find satisfaction in the claim, there
must still be more pleasure than
profit in rejecting that although
the eagle may be of their sex, the
Government which it represents will
not yet permit it TO vote.

Hard Antagonists.

American tariff beneficiaries keep
their eyes peeled. The lookout is
one w. F. Wakeman, treasurer and
general secretary of the American
Protective Tariff League. If any
privilege now enjoyed by any of his
clients shall ever get away, it will
not be his fault. His latest cry is
headed in large type:
TARIFF CONCESSIONS TO GERMANY.
"A prominent commercial news
paper" he says, recently published
a long account of the alleged conces-
sions to Germany" The substance
is then quoted with this comment;
Every manufacturer and importing
merchant familiar with customs meth
DDS and procedure will recognize the
practical effect of such concessions. II
Is only natural that the same or similar
concessions shall eventually be extended
TO other nations. Consequently. this
German agreement, II put into effect,
Will be equivalent to a general reduc-
ton OF the pingiey tariff. More than
that, 1t cuts off investigation, and il
makes the foreigner the appraiser OF

AS matter of fact. not even the
quotation made from the s'promi-
nent commercial newspaper" sus-
tains Mr.. Wakeman's conclusions
to say nothing of the terms as
announced by the President. But
they serve one good purpose.
They reveal the ceaseless watchful-
ness with which the protected mean
to fight the unprotected. They
ought to make it plain that the
manufacturer who finds the present
schedule a subsidy will be many
times as active as the consumer who
pays the tax. If the latter is to
win lower prices for the supplies
he needs for his family, he must be
prepared for a real fight. For it is

American politics that the man who

JAMESTOWN EXPO.
LACKS FINANCES
Attempts to Get Further
Government Aid Fail and
Bond Issue Planned.
Company Needs S350,0O0 to
Complete the Buildings
and Grounds.

Announcement that the jamestown
Exposition Company finds itself impov-
erished before the exposition buildings
and grounds are completed was re-
ceIved with no surprise by Government
officials in this city.
From the time the company came to
Congress and TO the executive depart
ments OF the Government with requests
for appropriations there has been a
tendency among Government people to
refuse as far as possible all concern in
the jamestown Exposition. Congress
was for two sessions deaf TO the plea
for an appropriation. and there are a
large number OF naval officers here to-
day who look with no great amount of
pleasure on the plan of having the
battleships at the exposition.
II was only in the last days Of the last
session Of Congress that the attempt to
secure a substantial appropriation was
successful.
That the company was in sore straits
for money was evident ten days before
the exposition was formally opened. A
meeting Of the board of directors of the
company was called. and 1t was de-
cided to postpone the opening. owing TO
the lamentably unfinished condition of
the buildings and grounds This deci-
sion was not carried out, however be-
cause il was discovered that the con-
cessionaires had been given contracts
guaranteeing that the exposition would
open April 26 and that a postponement
would subject the company to law suits
for damages, an expense II was in no
condition to stand even If the EXPOSE
ton had to be opened in an unprepared
state.
Before the announcement was made
by the company that il needs $4,000 to
complete the buildings and grounds. an
attempt was made to get help from the
United States Government. but the Gov
eminent was not to be won over to the
plan, and the company then evolved the
plan Of getting out a bond issue secured
by the land on which the exposition
stands 1t is now thought that the
company is trying TO get New York can

is down. He has violated his vows,
abandoned a trust more sacred
than that imposed upon him when
he was ordained by deserving his
wife and child, and piled up igno-
miny by betraying his guardianship
over a girl seventeen years old.
This is bad enough. 1t ought not
be made worse by seeming to be
reflection on the whole body of
elergymen. Neither their religion
nor their Office is involved in this
mans sin. So there is much ground
for this remonstrance voiced by one
of the vestrymen who called the
