THE BARGAIN COUNTER.

The robe gowns are now on the
bargain counter.
The above announcement will be a
welcome one to the girl whose dress
allowance is none too large. She
has been waiting for the robes to
get on the bargain counter.
Probably the girl Is her own dress
maker, and she finds it much easier
to manage the robe, which is al
ready partly made. It can be put to-
gether by the least skilled seam

Embroidered and braided linens
are exceedingly smart this year, and
among the robes are to be found
many models that are most effective
This year the majority of shirtwaist
dresses are of washable materials,
and linen particularly is used for this
purpose, so that an embroidered lin

The violet decorated tablecloth,

of the lavish use of flowers.
The paper covers come in sets,

Cluny or Irish lace. Valenciennes
must be used carefully this year, and
only the finest qualities Of imitation
should be thought of, as this lace

In the majority of robes there is
an embroidered piece for the front,
two for the back, a collar and cuffs,
and then the skirt, on which the
amount of trimming is in accordance
with the price asked for the dress.
Whole dresses are thought infinitely
smarter than separate waist and

The flower chosen for the luncheon

that covered the table was lavishly
decorated with the flowers. At each
cover was laid a paper napkin to COR

FISHERMEN's STRIKE SETTLED.
Men Win After Four Weeks Fight
Receive Substantial Advance.

ABERDEEN, Oct. l.--After four
weeks of consistent but determined de-
mand on the part of the local fisher
mems union for more proportionate
wages for its members, the men won out
in their fight today when the Parks
Fish Company signed contract with
the union which means the return to
work Of the men on Monday night.
In the settlement of the strike, while
both sides made concessions, the union
has gained considerable. In fact, it is
stated by members of the union that
under the increase, even while conceding
to degree, they will receive more mon
ey than they could have obtained under
the old schedule.

Zone way of exercising such control

months the appeal has been made to me
not to enforce the law against certain
wrongdoers of great wealth because to
do so would interfere with the business
prosperity of the country. Under the
effects of that kind of fright which when
sufficiently acute We call panic, this ap-
peal has been maze to me even by men
who ordinarily behave as decent citi-
zens. One newspaper which has itself
strongly advanced this view gave prom

Paper rugs, table cloths, wearing ap.

LIVINGSTON, Oct, l.--From the frs
of July to the latter part OF last weel
the body of a man has been danglin!
from a tree on the side Of the Graz,
mountains. 50 miles north OF Livingston
at height OF 1000 feet above the sur
rounding foothills, in one OF the mos
picturesque points in that splendit
sweep of scenery.
The grewsome spectacle was discov'
cred by two ranch boys who were hunt
ing. The boys were tracking deer ant
were clambering over the steep side o'
the mountain through thick timber wher
the object caught their attention. They
thought at first that it was deer
and when hey discovered that it was d
mans body they did not want to in
vestigate but left for home in great
fright. .....
Coroner Leard was notified OF the dis
covery and went at once to Lat
He was unable to secure jury to &c
that distance into the mountains. and
the body was so decomposed it could
not be removed without the services OF
an undertaken, and the nearest was 80
miles away. The coroner concluded an
inquest was not necessary, as the case
was plainly one OF suicide. The mans
body was reduced to skin and bonse
the flesh having been eaten away by
worms and flies. A vault was built ii
the side OF the mountains and the re
mains placed there temporarily.
The name OF the suicide is not known
to the coroner, but he was well knowr
in Sweet Grass county, where he work
ed herding sheep for the past four year
for 7. j Lovold. The only memoran
dunn found in his effects was the en-
| try of Mr.. Lovold's name in some loos'
sheets OF a pocket memorandum.
! The man had charge of a sheep cam
for Mr.. Lovold the last time he wa
seen alive.
His horses strayed away one nigh
and he went out to search and recov
cred all in the course OF short tim
except a saddle horse. 1t is suppose
that he was hunting for this horst
when he lost his mind and committed
suicide. He had rope with him, and
with this rope fastened about his neck
he walked up the steep incline OF fal
len tree to where he could fasten th'
rope and step off into space.
Evidently he took off his coat anC
folded it carefully leaving it at the bas'
OF the tree. He placed his hat on tol
of the coat, and these articles wer'
found undisturbed. He left no word o
any kind. He is said to nave a wifi

A JOLLY PARTY OF
FISHERMEN
IA SUNDAY EXCURSION THAT WAS
ENJOYED BY ALL PARTICIPATING
A FISH SUPPER WAS THE
RESULT.

A jolly party OF five left the city at
8 O'Clock Sunday morning, on tomcoi
fishing excursion. The party was COM
posed of Earle Seibert, Manley Thomp-
son, Oliver McNairy, Elton De Force and
q man brought along to cut bait. The
gasoline boat Little Ruby was char
tered and promptly at the hour above
mentioned the lines were cast loose, and
the trip commenced. De Force was
chosen as captain, engineer and fireman
while the balance of the party were
passengers except the bait cutter, who
was dec&hand.
In about twenty minutes after leav-
ing, the destination of the party was
reached, and, tying the boat to the red
spar buoy opposite Young's Bay, the ex-
termination of the tomcod species COM
meuced. Earle Seibert in his anxiety
forgot to bait his hooks, yet, strange to
say, caught the first fish. This tickled
the bait cutter, who thought what a
SNAP he had, but he was soon brought
to his senses by being ordered to get
q move on" Thompson took up his
position at the bow, the balance at the
stern, and then the good natured rivalry
began. Every time McNairy would catch
a fish a deep baritone voice would sing
ETer- -um-dum- dunn, tee-tum, etc, which
would continue until the fish was land
ed Occasionally the final words of the
beautiful song would be 'oh pshaw, a
bulIhead., Nc was doing well but
Tampson was also doing something. He
was having "bullhead luck" for all he
could catch was bullheads, sometimes
two at a time. A vote was taken and
It was decided to take his line away from
him but wiser counsel prevailed and he
was allowed to continue as bait was
getting short and his catch could be
used for that purpose. Seibert wasn't
saying much, but he was catching fish
and lots of them. Some were bullheads
and he was about to be given the pun
Ishment intended for Thompson when,
rs if to save him, he landed tomcod.
De Force was fishing too, and caught
seme- In his quiet way he was landing
fisk and laughing at the efforts of the
poor bait cutter to keep up with the
procession. About the time the bait
cutter was exhausted the fish stopped
biting. There were as good fish in the
Z sea as were ever caught, but they were
not biting just then, and the party re-
turned to Astoria at l0:30 viii over 200
fish. A supper Sunday night, at the
Palace in which fish was the prominent
dish ended day of great enjoyment.

TOBACCO CROP SHOWS DECLINE.
New England Yield Not More Than 7e
Per Cent of Average Quality.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Oct, l,--Tobac'
co buyers after thorough inspection
are agreed that the 1907 New England
tobacco crop will not be more than q
65 or 20 per cent yield in respect to leaf
OF average quality, With frost imminent
there is still u considerable acreage OF
unharwested tobacco,
The new crop has been beset by OBJ
staces from the start, Late frost nip
ped the young plants in the hotbcds and
unreasonable weather delayed trans
planting until time at which the crop
should have been well started. Hail
storms in July and August caused loss
OF nearly 100000 and the midsummer
drouth stunted the growth on an aver
age of from 70 to Is per cent throughout
the Connecticut Valley. There is, how
ever, u large acreage OF fine tobacco
which will sell at high prices.
One result of the shortage OF the 1907
crop has been to cause brisk demand

FLORENCE, Italy, Oct l.-Signor
Toselli, the Italian pianist, and his bride,
formerly the crown princess Of Saxony,

in their elopement, have been so per-
secuted by the watchfulness of German
detectives that the Florence chief OF
police has complied with their plea for
special protection from annoyance. So
close was the surveillance over the couple
that one of the detectives even noticed
that Toselli had forgotten his overcoat

with his pocket book and all his money
