SKIRT
NO LONGER A DREAM

Waterloo, Nov. AT last the
"pantaloon" skirt has arrived. It will
be made in a local factory and is
prompted by the fact that the over.
skirt, narrow and tight as it has be-
come, has become too CONSTRUCTED with
the heavy underskirt or petticoat.
For months the local garment COM
pany has been experimenting with
various creations. The models tested
proved to be adjustable in only one
position. 1t remained for a young
lady employee to evolve the adjustable
pantaloon. Measurements taken with
the wearer in sitting and standing
position showed her invention was a
success.
In shape it resembles the Egyptian
pantaloon, fitting tightly around the
waist and as far down as the knees,
and then extending somewhat in the
style of boomers lto few inches
above the ankles where the pantaloons
are gathered with elastics.
The new garments are being made
of soft fabrics-silk and cotton.

Hedrick, Nov. Sired Eichelberger
received telegram last evening from
Sioux City saying that the body of his
son, William Eichelberger, who disap-
peared about one month ago, was

ed several weeks ago, also disappear
ed early Saturday, according to re-
port made by Mrs. Tilden to the police.
Circumstances surrounding the dis
appearance Of the two men are similar
and the police are puzzled Both dis
appeared from 607 Virginia street, and
the Tilden home has been named the
"house of mystery" by the police.
Mrs. Tilden declared she did not be-
lieve that her husband knows the
Whereabouts of Eichelberger. She ac-
counts for the papers being in her hus-
bands hands by asserting that upon
the visit of Eichelbergers father to
Sioux City several days ago he turned
over the personal papers to her hus-
band, and it was arranged that Tilden
would look after Eichelberger's bust
ness affairs.
The police admit that Tilden's dis
appearance is as battling as that of
Eichelberger's. Eichelberger dropped

questions Of the day, especially such
as have a bearing upon the forma-

SPECIAL SESSION
Is NEARING CLOSE
Senate Likely to Adjourn in a
Few Days.

Washington, March 13.--With the
Democratic committee lists of the sen
ate nearly completed members of that
body expect that the present special
session of the senate will terminate
In few days. A Republican caucus
has been called to consider the Re
publican committee assignments and
the policies to be pursued in asking
the Democrats for committee places
and patronage.
During the long period of control OF
the senate by Republicans recognition
was given to the Democratic minority
by the appointment of many Demo
Gratis to minor positions connected
with the senate.
The Republicans expect now that
the Democratic managers will give
them the same consideration in the
reorganization about to take place.

Government Alleges Numerous Viola

Chicago, March 13.-Rumors are
prevalent that the government plans
to institute 10000 suits against vari
Gus railroads for alleged violations OF
the sixteen-hour law. One Eastern

600 alleged violations, it is said.
Evidence now in the hands of the
government was given by the railroad
heads, it is understood, in the course
of reporting cases where crews were
on duty longer than sixteen hours, due

government will be that the hot boxes
might have been prevented If proper
caution had been ey orcised.

Out Little Longer.
COMMANDER In DESPAIR
Cipher Message Received at constan-

and That Food Supplies and Ammu-
milton Are About Exhausted.

Constantinople, March 13-A de-
spairing cry of Il can hold out only a
week longer" was sent in cipher by
wireless from Shukri Pasha, the
Turkish commander of Adrianople, to
his superior officers here, according
to unofficial reports.
Shukri. who has held out for many
months against the hundreds of siege
guns OF the Bulgarians and Servians,
is said to have informed the porte in
his message that Adrianople is prac-
tically at the end of it's supplies of
food and ammunition, while there is
much sickness, especially scurvy and
intestinal disorders, which are ravag-
ing the ranks of the defenders.
The commander who has offered
such a long and gallant defense urges
either that peace negotiations be has
tened or that an immediate attempt
to relieve the city be undertaken from
the Tchatalja lines.
The Turkish ministry is divided in
opinion and will have difficulty in
reaching any solution of the problem
raised by the commander of the be-
sieged fortress.
The ferment aroused by the murder
of the late NaZim Pasha continues to
threaten internal trouble in Turkey.

Washington, March 13.-President
Wilson has issued formal statement
of his policy toward the Central and
South American republics. The gist
of the statement follows:
I'VE can have no sympathy with
those who seek to seize the power
of government to advance their own
personal interests or ambition. We
are the friends of peace, but we know
that there can be no lasting or stable
peace in such circumstances. AS
friends, therefore, we shall prefer
those who act in the interest of peace
and honor, who protect private rights
and respect the restraints of constitu-
tional provision"
