GIRLS HARVESTING CROPS.


Aany of Them Earn Good Wages In
Wheat Fields of Northwest.
The small grain harvest that was
recently being finished throughout
Southern and Central Nebraska sup
plies convincing proof that the women
Of the West are rapidly crowding ths
men out of the fields of labor and are
candidates for positions in all OF the
respectable avocations. When the Ne
braska small grain harvest opened
here was a great shortage of male
help. Even SO day, with board, lodg-
Ing and washing, did not attract the
city man. A large number OF college
students went to the rescue OF the
ripening grain, but the supply was far
less than the demand. Farmers be-
came desperate. The price of wheat
kept on soaring and they could not
afford to let the grain go back into
the ground. Out in Beatrice one day
Henry Wilson, farmer living nine
miles south Of town, needed four men
for gathering and shocking wheat He

but they declined to go to work. Stop
ping at lunch counter before going
home, Mr.. Wilson told of his troubles
70 Miss Jeanette Allison, a waitress.
why don't you hire girls?" she
asked.
They would not go into the harvest
Geld and they would not do the work
II they could" responded the farmer.
TRY them," ventured the girl.
tGive me the same wages as you
would man and | will go. Besides.
II l do not do the work Of q man
will not charge you a cent"
Not only did Mise Allison ride home
with Farmer Wilson that might, but
/ four Of her girl friends went along
The next evening Farmer Wilson told
his wife that he had never had harvest
hands that did better work than the
ave girls. The second day farmers
came from miles about, saw the girls
at work, and that night many Of them
went to Beatrice and other neighbor-
4
ing towns. where they hired fifteen
young women to work in the grain
fields.
Word was passed down to Omaha
that young women could have employ
ment in the harvest fields of Gage
County. An employment agency pub
lished this ad
| "Wanted-One hundred young wom-
en- to work In the harvest fields.
Wages So per day. Board and wash
ing"
The next day that employment agent
did business. He was swamped with
applicants, all young women, school
teachers, stenographers, college girls
and girls who had been working in
factories at from Sc to 81 per week.
All they wanted was to be given a
trial. The farmers gave them the
trial, and they made good. They re-
mained with the farmers until the
harvest was finished, and many Of
them will continue during the stack
Ing and haying, receiving from $1.75
to 81 per day and board.-Omaha

A compromise agreement wa
reached in the Supreme Court OF the
District of Columbia yesterday by
which a material portion OF the estate
of the late Thomas +. Waggaman,
bankrupt, will be disbursed. The com
promise was discussed before Justice

lied by the sale OF the Waggaman
art gallery. The university will also
be permitted to retain about 9O,OOO
collected on a series of notes turned

man prior to his death. By this ar
rangement the university's claim will
be satisfied to the extent OF about 40
cents on the dollar, the university
agreeing to make no further claim
against the estate until general credI-
tors have received an equal amount
proportionately.
In consideration Of the amount
which it will thus receive the univer-
sity agrees to surrender to Trustee H.
Rozier Dulany all of the balance OF
the art gallery fund, amounting to
about $50, 900, for which it is intended
to make John f. Waggaman, the

paman property known as WOodleY.

the recent report by a news agency
that the engagement was about to be

marriage story goes" he remarked,

is absolutely without foundation. 1t is

A dispatch from Newport, Il.

A dispatch from Newport, r. l.,
dated yesterday, says:
The belief is general here that efforts
are being made TO have Senator Nelson
w. Aldrich stand for reelection to the
Senate. Senator Aldrich has held sew
eral important conferences on board his
Yacht, but what the conferences have
been about is not definitely known.
The DIVERS had been a recent visitor
here, and while in Newport harbor
there was conference between Senator
Aldrich and his colleague in the Senate
of this state, Senator Wetmore, who
has also been recent visitor of President
Taft. Senator Crane, of Massachusetts,
is said to have been visitor of Senator
Aldrich on board the yacht, and it was
reported yesterday that he has also had
a conference this week with j. 7. Nor
gan. who has been here on his yacht
Corsair. Secretary to the President
Norton is also reported to have been a
recent caller on Senator Aldrich.
When the report was first put out
that Senator Aldrich would retire it
was received with a murmur of doubt
by all knowing ones. The senator Is
too valuable a man to the trust for them
10 think of his retiring.

BUY OUT THE CATAwBA.

A company OF which H. NJ Luck
president, of the Luck Construction
Company, of Roanoke; f. f. Franey,
wealthy banker, iron furnace and
oil man, of Steubenville, Ohio, and
5. w. Harrell, of Roanoke, are the
principal stockholders, yesterday pur-
chased the property of the Catawba
Coal and Iron Company. The pur-
chase price is more than a quarter OF
million dollars. The property il
located in Botetourt county. near
Roanoke. The new owners will build
a railroad from ClOverdale to the pro-
pertles.
Developments made show vein Of
iron ore over II miles long, and from
80 to $50 feet wide, the depth being
unknown. 1t has been estimated by
number of Independent mining en-
eineers who have investigated the
property that at least 100, 100000 tons
of ore are available for mining.
Less than 200 feet from this inn
mense vein of iron and parallel with
it for the entire distance, is a continu-
GUS bed Of limestone, analyzing 90 to
80 per cent. carbonate Of lime. Some
$50 feet distant and parallel with the
iron vein, are five distinct veins of coal,
all of workable size. The coal is smoke
less, burns freely and is as clean to handle
as the Pennsylvania anthracite. The old
concern had already made contract
with the West End Furnace, Of Roa-
noke, for 100000 tons of iron ore,
to be delivered at the rate of 800 tons
per day. This furnace is now shut
down, owing to inability to obtain ore.
This contract will be renewed. 1t was
the intention of the old company to
ultimately construct blast furnaces at
the mines, and this matter will be con-
sidered by the new concern.

Chile have been put on a much more
friendly basis by the cordial reception
accorded President Pedro Mont on his
visit to TO the United States, in the
opinion OF the Chilean press, which to-
day reviews Months stay in the United
States. The concensus OF opinion is
that the honors shown the Chilean
executive, particularly his reception by
President Taft, will strengthen the ties
between the two countries, and make
the United States more potent factor
in the solution of Chile's future politi-
cal problems than heretofore.

mated that approximately 100000
acres Of timber have been burned over

fires except in the Clearwater and
Occur D'Alene forests in Idaho Until
an examination can be made, Assistant

estimate OF the loss, which will depend
upon whether the big trees were burn
ed so badly that they cannot be used

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUG. j

THAT infantile paralysis is caused by
soothing syrups containing morphine
opium, cocaine and other deadly drugs
was the statement made yesterday IL
Washington by DR.. l.. b. Kebler, OF
the bureau of chemistry. Besides CO.
caine, morphine and opium he said
some of the remedies contain chloro-
form and one even contains hashecsh.
DR.. Kebler said that not enough at
tention had been paid to the effect OF
drugs in rendering infants susceptible
of disease, particularly OF iniantlle
paralysis. The use of soothing syrups,
he said. was an insidious habit into
which mothers were apt to fall, because
soothing syrups had been so long en-
ployed that they were looked upon as
harmless and because they were 50
helpful iu quoting babies. He charged
that nurses frequently made use OF
them secretly to avoid the trouble Of
caring for fretful infants. But the use
Of certain syrups, he said, not only
added thousands to the million drug
fiends already in the country but made
babies constitutions too weak to resist
disease. He said thepreyalence OF inlan-
tile paralysis in summer, when sooth-
ing syrups are most used, rather than
i'm winter. indicated the effects OF those
medicines. Over thirty years ago news
papers in Virginia started a crusade
against dangerous potions which are
given children, but little good resulted.

inent attorney, of Baltimore, his wife,
his daughter, his son-in-law, Mr.
Fritz l.. MergenthaIer, and a chauffeur
were instantly killed late yesterday
afternoon while riding in large tour
ing car near Cape May, N. j. The
automobile was struck by fast train
on the Pennsylvania Railroad and
torn to pieces. while the bodies of the
occupants were scattered along the
tracks.
The tragedy occurred about 5 O'Clock
il the afternoon at the mill lane cross
ing OF the Pennsylvania Railroad,
about three miles north OF the resort.
The crossing is a double one, and
both the Pennsylvania and Reading
railroads cross at grade within 20 feet
Of one another. 1t is almost impossible
to see approaching trains on account
Of high corn field, and the absence
of safety gates and flagmen added to
the danger. The Feldner party was on
its way from Atlantic City to the Cape
May Hotel, where a special engage
ment had been made for dinner
The express struck the automobile
squarely between the wheels and threw
it and all of the occupants clear of the
tracks.
