AS chairman of the special CON-
mittee appointed by the city council
at a meeting Of that body as a
committee of the whole on Monday
afternoon to meet and confer with
the directorate of the Virginia Elec-
trio Power & Water Company Mon
day evening, Mayor Murphy on Tues
day evening made written report to
the city council in which he stated
that no definite or new arrangements
had been arrived at in the desire of
the council to buy the plant, and
asked for an extended time Of two
or three weeks, by which time the
committee expects to be in position
to make definite report as to whether
or not possible agreement between
the contending forces may be
reached.
Following the reading of the CON-
munication, which was accepted and
ordered filed, the mayor arose and
stated that the extension of time
was wholly on the initiative of the
committee, which desired more time
in which to examine and satisfy
themselves regarding certain por-
tions Of the Burns & Mcdonnell re-
port, heretofore accepted by the city
council, ordered filed and a warrant
drawn in payment thereof.
Under the provisions of a verbal
agreement at the meeting appoint
ing this special committee power was
given At to employ necessary as
sistance in the work, and this power
was embodied in a motion at the
regular meeting Tuesday evening.
AS to what the committee may be
in position to report at later date
is left matter OF conjecture, mas
much as no inkling Of what negotia-
tions are pending or what figure they
may be led to consider has been
made public. But it is safe to say
that If the plant shall be acquired
by the city the price will be fully
,double-the- amount spoken of as the
ultimate limit OF value, 100000 to
100000, at the time Of the special
election at which the citizens Of Vir-
ginia voted so unanimously to buy
the plant at a reasonable price,"
leaving the consideration of what
may be termed a reasonable price
wholly with the chosen few

illness, being stricken with an at
tack of acute indigestion while await
ing a car for home at the Spalding
corner, Duluth, on Monday evening.
Prior to his attack Mr.. Palmer
was in apparently good health, the
Enterprise scribe conversing with
him for a half hour at his office that
afternoon, and news of illness came
as a shock to his hosts of friends in
this city, of which he was a former
resident, being mayor of the city
previous to his election to the office
Of register of deeds in 1902, his ef-
f1ciency in that position and his pop
ularity with voters being ably at
tested by the fact that he has since
been repeatedly honored by re-elec-
ton and at the late primaries was
again the republican nominee for the
position by majority Of upwards of
one thousand votes.
The deceased was born in New
York, where he took law course,
later moving to Stanton, Mich, from
which city he came to Virginia about
1897. He retained his home here
until within the past year, when he
disposed Of his residence property to
DR.. c. V. Malmgren. He was a men,
ber of Virginia Lodge No. 264 A. F..
& A. NJ, and of several other socie-
ties, many representatives Of which
are in attendance at the funeral rites
being conducted from the Masonic
Temple, Duluth, this afternoon, the
remains being shipped to his former
Michigan home for interment
The wide acquaintance the de-
ceased At all range points caused
continued inquiry ~ to his condition
from tho time the news of his illness
became known, the doctors in at
tendance At hrst giving the informa-
ton that no serious results were
feared, but news reaching the city
Wednesday morning was that the end
was near, the later news Of his death
that evening spreading rapidly and
being 4 matter Of genuine regret to
all. He was IS years OF age, and In
his demise the county loses a most
efficient official, and all who had the
pleasure Of an acquaintance lost a
staunch and true friend.

drinking water into which some wash
ing powder containing I've had been
poured Dr. G. A. Fish was sum-
moned and by the prompt administer
ing of an antidote, Mrs. Webb was
soon out Of danger. She had poured
the washing powder in the water her
self, but while she was in another
part Of the house someone moved the
bucket to the place where the drink
ing water is usually kept When Mras
Webb took drink of water few
minutes later she drank the water
into which the wash powder had been
poured, without knowing it until she
took the cup from her mouth, when
she realized by the peculiar taste of
the water that she had taken the wa
ter out of the wrong bucket. She did
not drink enough to seriously endan-
ger her life, but she was very sick
for an hour or more.

Auto Ride Ends DisastrousIy.

A soy ride" INDUCED in by DR.. e.
G. Roemele and w. l.. Cutter, both Of
Frankfort, ended disastrously at
Shelby and Market streets. The wild
dash up market street, which caused
the drivers of all other vehicles to
gather on the opposite side of the
street and pedestrians to entertain
fears of being run down on the pave
ment, was brought to sudden stop
when the auto swerved into the gut
ter and struck a sewer cap on the
west side of Shelby street. The ma
chine was reduced to splinters and
the occupants were thrown to the
pavement. They escaped injury,
however, and were able to walk to
the First district police station,
whence they were directed by Patrol
men Broyles and Minogue, According
to the police, both men were under
the influence of liquor. They were
charged with drunkenness and disor-
herly conduct and violating the speed
ordinance They were released on
bond after being at the station short
time.

TAFFETA FRlLL MOST USEFUL

Hem of Marquisette or
Chiffon Frock.

tits on the hem of a marquisette
or chiffon frock that the brunt of the
wear comes, but now fashion permits
taffeta frill at this point, and the
skirt can trail without disturbing the
wearer's peace Of mind. A lovely
chiffon gown is SO finished, and to
countenance the scanty fril1 shirred
over cords at the hem there are two
cordings in the chiffon little above
the knee and about two inches apart.
These pull in but do not hobble the
fulness of the skirt, which Is again
shirred over a heavy cord at the waist
line. The frock, of course, is a one
piece affair. The surplice waist closes
with two gorgeous buttons and finishes
in narrow rolling collar Of taffeta.
Over the taffeta collar is second col
lar of fflmy handkerchief linen adorned
with finest Madeira handwork, which
takes the shape of monks cowl at
the back. The taffeta again appears
in quantity twisted bow and sash
ends which are attached at the waist
line.

quite pleasing compensation In
spite Of the fascination of the slim
silhouette.
For the sunray skirt clings and
gives at the same time and all women
must agree in time that the more
graceful mode is the line which gradu-
ally widens, rather than that which
decreases at the foot.

New York and Its Millinery.

Whatever may. be said about the
dresses. which are for the most part
very freakish and unbecoming. there
is little or no adverse criticism about
the hats, which are really lovely and
of great diversity of shapes and color.
The demand at present is for the close
fitting hat, the durbar turban and
tiny pokes, but unquestionably large.
rather nat hats will be worn for mid
summer wear. Many Of these are
yelled with printed chiffon, net and
lace, and are very soft and dainty, al
though they have not the fuffiness
characteristic Of the lingerie bebe hat.

the flower toque is a trying test to the
complexion. The new toques OF this
character fit the head closely and the
hair is pulled out in soft tendrils be

over white malines and against this
