OMAHA JUDGE SAYS OLD Hooec
WITH eusTLE WOULD STOP
WASHERS.

OMAHA. Neb., Aug. j.-Mcmbevs
OF the Womea's Clubs OF Omaha are
not OF one mind as to what changes
should be made in womcns dress -
discourage male mashers. Those who
have good figures think there is no
good reason for any particular
changes. This is true of the younger
women who are blessed with attrac.
tive figures. while the women who
have unattraclive figures are, mang
Of them, disposed TO think that chang,
es are highly desirable.
1t is admitted by many that It
would be particularly impossible for
women with good figures ana the wo,
man with poor figures TO agree on any
changes in womca's dress that would
be suggested with view to the hid.
Ing OF the feminine charms and put,
ting mashers out OF commission.
Omaha dressmakers say that tight
dresses are popular with women with
good figures and unpopular with
those who have less attractive ones.
Tight dresses. they admit, reveal fem.
iEine charms and encourage mashsFs
TO ply their tradcFnnd the Uld.fashion.
etd dresses would hide these charms
and discourage the mashers.
81 am disposcdto think" said Chas.
Leslie, judge OF the District Court.
that II women could combine the old
hoops with the hustle which, as | re.
call, came later. they would effectuaI.
ly solve the problem OF hiding their
charms and put damper on the ar.

SIX THOUSAND
MINERS AT BIC
MASS MEETING
JUDGE BENNETT ONE OF THE
sPEAkERs-No LEGAL WAY OF
DlsARMING NINE GUARDS Ex.
cEPT BY MARTIAL LAW.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Aug. o.
The largest meeting OF miners ever
held in the State assembled at Mont
gomcry, and although Mother Jones
made the principal speech, the miners
were cautioned to be peaceable. The
subject OF all the speakers address
was on the mine guard system, which
was condemned IN the bitterest terms.
"A conservative estimate OF the size OF
the crowd places 1t at six thousand.
Resolutions were adopted asking
Governor William L. Glasscock to dis.
arm them jne guards.
The speakers declared that II the
mine guards were dlsarmcd there
would be no troible, no violence. The
speakers as well as the miners de.
clared there was no feeling OF bitter.
hess against the national guardsmen.
There was no meeting OF the miners
at Holley Groye as advertised.
1.-THE meeting at Montgomery was
presided over by. Thomas ]. Davis.
Mayor of Montgomery, who also eau.
toned the miners not to resort to vic.
dcnce.
William II. Bennett, Judge OF the
Circuit Court OF F'ayette county. and
a former attorney for the United Mine
Workers, was also speaker.
This dlsarming OF the mine guards
is a question with which the governor
has nothing whatever to do" said the
attorney. THE license to carry re.
volyers is granted by the Circuit
courts OF the State and such license
can only be revoked by them. Rail.
road police which are classed among
the mine guards, carry revolvers by
taking out license. The guards who
carry rifles are employed by the coal
companies to protect their properties.
They are not employed by the State.
Eor the county. There is no way to
disarm these mine guards who carry
rifles to protect property II the coal
companies insist on employing them"
iIy a proclamation declaring martial
law the mine guards would be dsarm.
cd as would all miners. Up to the
present time the operators and rail.
road company have not shown any
indication OF disarming their guards.

While 1t is undoubtedly true That
there are fewer cattle in the country

were a few years ago, there is mo
question in my mind but that alto

COMBINED R00STS AND NESTS
Pleasing Hens-EasiIy Removed

perfect combined nesting and roost-
ing box. The nesting boxes are of
easy access, and at the same time so
secret as to please the hens, and make
them very secure from the hens learn
learned in the winter, Of eating their
eggs. The roosts are in position to
allow all possible access of fresh air
without draft, and at the same time al
low protection from a severe cold
night. The third important advantage
lies in the fact that it is made so much
in sections as to be moved with ease.
Every part is perfectly accessible, so
as to be easily oiled or whitewashed,
to prevent and remove disease or lice.
The foundation is a bench (A) 10 inch
es high, which allows the hens to use
the floor space underneath, so that is
not wasted; 25 inches wide, and as
long as desired, conforming to the
space available and fowls to use it;
remember, the nests (E) should be Is
inches square, so the length should
be an equal multiple of Is. The nest
boxes should have a door OBJ to turn
down in front, with sufficient open
space in cracks to allow the hen lit
tie light, and yet dark enough to en-
courage them in hiding their eggs, and
also to discourage the idle hens from
hunting after the newly laid eggs. You
