pajamas once a door or window is
left open, quicker than through an
ordinary skirt reinforced by sub
skirts.
Another objection lies in the alb
sense of lap. 1t has been pointed
out that there is no lap Of service

Obstacle to HouseWorR.
Housewives are prone to do darn
ing and needlework after the dishes
are put away. They dump the re-
pair outfit into their laps. Should
paiamas replace skirts, the stuff
would go to the floor. How
to get a good grip on a
crock while beating a cake would
present another problem, while the
laplessness of pajamas would make
it necessary to carry potatoes about
two or three at time instead of a
lapful at once.
DR.. Anna Blount, whose ideas on
dress reform have attracted conSid-
cradle attention, says it is all right
for women to wear pajamas in the
home.
"A woman has a perfect right to
wear pajamas about the house if
she SO DESIRES" said DR.. Blount.
| I'm not exactly sure that they are.
l never have worn any myself even
at night, but l imagine they are
much like the little nighties my boy
gets into. If it will give women
more freedom and ease let them
wear pajamas. l think that anything
which tends toward greater simple
ity in the dress of women is a
mighty good thing.

which makes them differ in appear

But the freedom that such a

FAIR MANAGERS DISCUSS THE

St Paul, December 30.-It is the
general impression of state fair
managers that structure passed upon
the fair management by Anton
Schaefer, public. examiner came be-
cause of a misunderstanding of the
real condition by the state official.
The appropriation for the dining
hall was really a salary item and
meals served to the employees were
computed as a portion OF their sal
airy, the managers say.
Three members of the state fair
board were compelled to go to the
hospital as the result of acute indi-
gestion caused by eating handouts"
at the stands about the grounds be-
fore the dining hall was established.
One manager was taken from the
grounds direct to st. Luke's hospi-
tai. AS a means of expediency it
was decided to furnish meals to a
certain class of the employees. Time
was saved and the employees were
in better shape to attend to their
duties.
What Managers Say.
The criticism of an appropriation
of $4,000 for the conservation con-
gress was in error because no such
appropriation was made answer the
managers. This amount was paid for
a joint advertising campaign car
ried on by the managers of the
conservation congress and the state
fair managers.

Omaha passenger train No. met
with a bad accident yesterday at
Butterfeld. This is the eastbound
passenger train that is due to arrive
in Mankato at 4:30 p. M, and it did
not get in until 5:22 O'Clock this
morning.
The operator or man in charge at
Butterfield thought that the train
was later than it was, and set the
derail to protect the Northwestern
and went to dinner. 1t was about
one o'clock when No. came along
on the Omaha. Some bad snow
banks were between the train and
the depot, and the engineer, Peter
Calvin, put on all the power that he
had and forced the big engine
through the drifts, forgetting all
about the derail. The result was that
the entire train went off Of the track,
and the engine, tender mail car, ex'
press car and baggage car turned
over
Engineer Calvin Badly Injured.
Engineer Calvin sustained very Sc.
we're injuries, but he still has a
chance of living. One of his legs was
fractured in two places, and a hole
was burned in one arm by escaping
steam. The fireman was badly hurt
and was taken from the engine un
conscious. Both men were rushed to
st. James, and were placed in the
hospital there, where they are receiv
ing treatment.
Conductor w. H. Monte sustained
a slight injury to one. knee, and the
dining car conductor was thrown
against a chair and was painfully
bruised. No one else was injured in
any way, it is said, all of the pas
sengers fortunately escaping unhurt.
Under Engine Four Hours.
Mr.. Calvin was under the locomo

his yearly report, when the office
boy announced visitor. The name
was one well-known in society, so
the Obliging manager was all atten-

that the company owed her $2.O2.

'and 1 was held up for forty-five
minutes while the driver tinkered

"Her manner was so impress

the point of writing out

before doing so he remarked, ut

The major domo was asked if the
pasta would make a statement,

The major said most emphatically
that the Crookshank Pasha would
not make a statement. The report
ers conferred together and finally
one of them returned to the charge.
Look here, old chap" said he to
the dignified and Mortified represent

McGovern Appoints David HarIowe.

Madison.-David Harlowe, traffic
manager for the Allis-C Chalmers com
pany, was appointed by Governor Nc
Govern to fill the uneXpired term of
B. H. Meyer on the state railroad COM
mission. He will serve until February,
1914, being the unexpired term of Mr..
Meyer. The vacancy was caused by
Mr. Meyer being named by President
Taft as a member Of the commerce
commission
Prior to 1893 Mr.. Harlowe was chief
clerk to the late Dwight w. Keyes,
then general freight agent of the Mil
waukee road. In 1893 he went to the
E. p. Allis company as traffic mana
ger. When the Allis company was
merged into the present Allis-Chal-
mers company he retained his posi-
ton
This is not the first time Mr.. Har-
lowe was considered in connection
with the place on the railroad COM
mission. When the bill creating the
commission became law Governor
La Toilette wished to appoint Mr.. Har-
clined the appointment, however, pre-
ferring to remain with the company.
1t had been known for some time
among Governor McGovern's close
friends that Mr.. Harlowe would be ap-
pointed and it was agreed on all sides
that such an appointment would be a
good one on account of Mr.. Harlowe's
knowledge Of traffic matters.
Mr.. Harlowe is fifty years of age,
having been born in England in 1860.
He has been a resident of Milwaukee
for over quarter Of century.
For many years he has been promi-
nent in Masonic circles and an active
worker in the various bodies Of that
order He is a thirty-third degree Ma
son. He also takes live interest in
literary matters and has been a mem

New Members of Board of Control.

Gov. Francis E. McGovern is evil
IDENTIFY determined to rid himself
of the pressure of officeseekers at the
earliest possible moment. 1t is said
that he may announce soon the new
board of control, the new game war
den, who is expected to be Fred Geb-
hart Of Milwaukee, and the four new
members Of the state board Of agricul-
ture to replace the four members
whose terms Of Office expired on the
first Monday in January.
A strong effort is being made by in
fuential people in the western and
northwestern parts of the state to land
Mrs. I. D. Without of Eau Claire as
the woman member of the new board
of control. Mrs Without is said to be
woman Of great ability and is wide
ly known in her section Of the state.
In addition to this, it is said the
fight against A. D. Conover is being
continued, while there is a possibility
of shift in another place on the
board, that generally assigned to Rev.
Daniel Woodward Of OmrO.
IL ID USIlCNO0 I1lcIL dONCA MI hC0OF-
ern will select new men for the four
places on the state board Of agricul-
ture. The members whose terms ex-
pire are: John L. Herbst of Sparta,
Ed. Woodman Of Polar, George G. Cox
of Mineral Point and L. E. Scott Of
Stanley These changes and the re-
tirement of Secretary John w. True,
now senator from the Twenty-seventh
district, would mean a reorganization
Of the board.
The governors message was read to
the senate and assembly in joint SEES
sion in the assembly chamber by Gov
ernor McGovern himself.
Elmer Pierce, document clerk Of the
last two senates, has been appointed
to his old position, while John L.

Question Indian Statute.

A question as to whether or not the
Wisconsin Indian reservations are "Tn-
dian country" and whether the United
States can prohibit the sale Of liquor
therein, was brought up before Judge
Quarles in federal court.
The case was that in which Michael
Hartman, white, and John Kaquatosch,
an Indian, are defendants, charged
with having sold liquor to Indians.
The attorneys for the defense set up
that the statute reads Indian coun-
try" and not Indian reservation. p
The act Of 1884, the defense claims,
defined Indian country" as all land
west Of the Mississippi river, except
Kansas and Missouri, and such other
territory to which the Indian title has
not been extinguished. At that time,
it will be claimed, Wisconsin was a
part of the northwest territory and
therefore properly comes in under the
class Of lands to which the Indian
title had not been extinguished.
The defense further claims that
this title was extinguished by the
treaty Of 1S48 by the terms Of which
the Indians were to give up their
lands In wisconsin in exchange for
lands west Of the Mississippi
