HOBBLE N|GHTGOWN
IS LATEST NOVELTY
No Fullness in Spring Pet
ticoats, and Some Have
Chiffon Ruffles.

IT HE craze for hobble skirts has
1 even reached the lingerie now,
and the latest new conner from Paris
is the hobble nightgown, which is
drawn in with wide ribons about ten
inches above the hem.
Some of the new models are shirred
but the majority simply have wide
insertion let into them with ribbons
run through and may be drawn az
tight as the fancy of the wearer sug-
gests.
They come In both silk and main
sock, the soft silk ones being the
most popular. In fact soft dotted
china silk is much in favor this year
for both chemise and nightgowns,
while the elaborate lace edgings and
insertions are giving place more and
more to hand embroidery, sometimes
done in colors, but more often in plain
white
Peasant sleeves are another night
gown novelty of the season, the gowns
being sewn across the shoulders and
at the sides only, while the sleeves
are slit from the hem to the begin
ming of the shoulder itself. scalloDed
and tied together with dainty bows
of ribbon.
The combination garments are su-
perseding the regular chemise this
season, and the latest novelty is "a
washable garment of silk that is cor
set, chenise and short skirt all in
one, thus making one garment do the
work of three or four and eliminating
all unnecessary thickness about mi
lady's figure, which fashion ordains
must be straight and slender.

Annoy, China, Nov. 10.-The city of
Fuchow is in the hands of the revolu-

out the entire Manchu district. The
foreign settlements have not been dis
turbed, but fires have broken out in
several sections of the native city,
threatening its destruction.
Fuchow is one of the most impor-

naval arsenal, government %shipyards,
a mint, a school of navigation and a
large drydock.

ELECTIONS SHOW
SOME SURPRISES
Democrats Carry Three States
and Republicans One.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Late election re-
turns rom various states clear up
some Of the uncertainty apparent in
the first reports.
In Massachusetts Governor Eugene
N. Foss. Democrat, will be head of
the state for another year, but he will,
as in the past, be surrounded by Re-
publican state officials.
Returns from New Mexico indicate
a triumph for the Democratic party.
This was the first election held in
New Mexico, which is a new state.
The Republicans, however, still hope
to control the legislature and elect
the two United States senators.
In Maryland the returns came in
slowly. The election of Phillips Lee
G~oldsborough, Republican, as govern
or, is apparent.
There were reversals in the states
of Kentucky and Ohio. In the former
state majorities were given to prac-
tically all the Democratic candidates
and James Bennett McCreary was
elected governor by over 10000. The
state legislature will have a Demo
cratic majority of probably eighty-five,
sufficient to secure the election to the
United States senate of Ollie James.
Municipal elections in Ohio resulted
in the election of George J.. Karb,
Democrat, as mayor of Columbus.
~, ~ IN ~ VIZ ,1 - -- j
Cleveland also were elected.
Two states, New York and New
Jersey, replaced Democratic assem-
blies with Republican. New York elect
ed an assembly that will have a Re-
publican majority greater than the
present Democratic majority in the
lower branch of the legislature.
Socialist gains marked the elections
and gave that party power in districts
where heretofore it had been unable
to muster a counting vote.

News Of the Week From Vari-
Gus Parts of the State.
BUCHANAN TO MAKE RACE
Progressive Republican Candidate for
the GubernatoriaI Nomination
in 1912 Primaries.

). A. Buchanan of Buchanan, will be
the progressive Republican candidate
Tor the gubernatorial nomination in
the 1912 primaries, while H. H. Aaker
OF Fargo, who some time ago
ed that he would be a candidate for
the nomination and make an appeal to
~progressives for support, will not be in
the race.
Mr.. B%uchanan's formal nnoun
ment will be made within a short time.
Ihls decision was reported at a con-
ference held in Grand Forks, coming
to a close when Mr.. Aaker issued a.
signed statement, in which he an
nounced his retirement from the CUB
ernatlonal race in favor of Mr.. Buch-
anan, assuring the latter OF his sup
port.
Mr. Buchanan's acceptance of the
progressive support was received only
after it was made evident to him that
n sentiment of the meeting was
unanimous in his favor.
The name of r. NJ. Pollock of Fargo
was prominently mentioned in the con-
ference and at n time he appeared
likely to he the choice, a test vote
showing a very close margin between
MIN and Mr.. Buchanan. The test vote
was taken in the early part of the
conference
No other places on the ticket were
discussed at this conference except
that Mr.. Aaker voiced his willingness
to retire from the gubernatorial race
become a candidate for lieutenant
governor. U. L. Burdick of Williston,
the present lieutenant governor, may
be the choice of the progressivesy for
the second place on the ticket, al
though Captain James Hanley of Man
dan, a speaker of the house of repre-
sentatlves in the last legislative
assembly, is regarded as a strong bid
der for that place.

GOMPERS DENOUNCESC0URTS
American Federation of Labor Meets
at Atlanta, Ga.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 14.-Denouncing
as the foes of labor "subservient
courts" injunction judges" and the
Mcnamara persecution" in Los An
geles, President Samuel Gompers de-
livered his annual address before the
thirty-first annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor. To
desert partisan politics and join indie
pendently in the fight for better work
ing conditions was the remedy sug-
gested.
Frank Morrison submitted his an
nual report, showing that the fedora
ton now has 1,756,OOO members, the
greatest since its organization.
The federation voted unanimously
to instruct President Gompers to send
a message to the Mcnamara brothers,
in Jail at Los Angeles, that the mem
bers of the organization are firm in
the belief that they are innocent and
assuring them of their continued sup
port.

He is the man who can place the gov
