Workers Gain
By New Law

MADISON, WIS, Aug 27-The In
dustrial Commission of this state is
urging injured workmen to come to the
commission instead of seeking lawyers
who advertise themselves as the only
ones who can secure compensation for

an industrial safety campaign, and
has issued leaflet, showing results
of workmen's compensations when con-
Quoted by the state.
1t is shown that:
For the year ending June 80, 1907,
under a somewhat defective system of
accident reporting. nearly "A, 900 indus
trial accidents occurred in Wisconsin.
Nearly 800 of these accidents were ia
tai. The cases Of injury caused loss
of time equal to that of 1000 men for
one year. The loss of wages reached
nearly $65O,OO0.
prior to the passage of the work
mems compensation act when one out
of seven injured workmen was able to
recover damages, and then only after
long litigation. According to the most
authentic information available, in
jured employees formerly collected
about 100000 year for their injuries,
but after they had. paid doctor bills,
lawyers, court fees, ETC., they actually
got only S75,000 Court expenses grow
ing Tout of these damage suits were
about 100000 a year. In other words,
it cost the taxpayers 100000 year
to obtain $4,000 for injured workmen
or, their dependents.
under the Wisconsin compensation
act. injured workmen now are being
paid at the rate of $4,000 a year, as
compared with $4,000 under the old
liability law, and they getthe money
when they most need it instead of
waiting as long as twelve years."

MONEY READY FOR
 THE VALLEY PAVING
MESSRS. CALLAHAN AND Will HANSON REPORT FAVOR
 ABLY ON IMPROVEMENT.
Property Owners Entered Agreement to Make the Improvement Without Going Through an Improvement District.

That Valley street in front or the
 Eastman Hotel property and the ad-
 joining block south to Bridge street
 will soon be paved with either wood
 blocks or some other form of paving
 satisfactory to the property owners
 is the assurance from Messrs. George Callahan and Sam William
 son, who had taken the initiative m
 the matter of getting the property
 owners of that district together un
 the subject.
 The money has been raised by
 agreement of the property owners and there is nothing left in the way
 of letting the contract but to decide
 on wha style of paving shall be used' The property owners of the district did not form an improvement district
 as is done in some sections when similar improvement is to be made, but rather preferred to reach an agreement as to the division of the expense, and to make up a fund Tor the improvement Ol course lHlS could not be done without the unani- nous consent of the property own CTS, but in this instance all the prop erty owners co-operated.
 It is believed that soon after this Improvement is done steps will be taken to extend the paving south on Valley street from Bridge street to the new Iron Mountain depot, which would give incoming visitors paved streets and a better impression on their entrance into the city. This, of course, could not be taken up until the matter of the wilmington
 Stearns spur track is disposed of in
 the courts. There is also said to be a movement on hand to pave that short block in Church street which extends from the Iron Mountain depot to Malvern avenue, with q view to turning some of the tide of
 business through that thoroughfare when the new depot is opened for
 business.

 A strand of odd Chinese beads of mother-of-pearl and glass, fastened at intervals on a strong silken cord and finished with tassel. adds an item of interest to the quiet gown of black cloth.
 With a mantle which Spain may have inspired, collar patterned after those worn in France three centuries ago, and queer beads of ancient Chi nese origin as to design, the youthful wearer demonstrates how all the world pays tribute to beauty and is busy fashioning things for it's adorn- ing. It will not grow less busy. for beauty instinctiyely believes in going beautifully appareled.

0NE way of arranging scarf so that " 1t becomes a mantle is very clearly shown here. A three-yard scarf of chiffon Is finished with hem-stitching at the head of a two-inch hem on three sides and has a half-inch hem on the fourth side. A tuck, equal in width to the hem, and an inch above it, is placed across each end.
 This length of chiffon is thrown around the shoulder like a shawl and a Iaece of wide silk lace is laid over 1t to form a collar. The chiffon and lace are caught up in small plaits to fit the mantle about the neck A mar row knife plating, made of the chiffon, edges the lace. and this collar effect is finished with a fiat bow of folded chiffon at the front.

MEXICO CITY IS
 STILL HOPEFUL
THAT PEACE WILL BE ESTAR- LISHED WITHOUT FURTHER
 STRIFE AND 5LoODSHSD.
Believed That the Opening of Nego- tiations Will Result in a Solution Of the Transfer of Government.

Mexico City, July 22.-Prospects for peace grew brighter today with the announcement from Carranza sources in the capital that negotia- tions for the transfer of the govern ment to the constitutio1altsts were proceeding favorably.
 The same hopeful view was taken by federal officials and it is under stood General CarranZa has agreed to a general amnesty, the chief paint Tor which Provisional President Carbajal has been contending.
 The three hundred men in the ad- vance guard of Gen, Alvara Obre- gons eight thousand constitutional ists are at Tnla. an hours ride from the capital, and the remainder of this army Is near Queretaro, 100 miles to the north, where it is assembling for peaceful advance on Mexico City.
 General 0bregon, a staunch sup porter of General Carranza, probably will be the first constitutionalist commander to arrive here, and his force is believed to be sufficient to insure the capital against internal disorder or attacks by bandits now active in the south.
 The impression prevails here that the Huerta congress will not meet again and that the next session in the chamber of deputies will be that cs the members of the MaderC congress, dissolved by Huerta ast October.
 A majority of Madero congressman are here awaiting the sanction of General Carranza to reassemble and elect provisional president to sue ceed Carbajal and hold office until q general election
 Dissolution of the IIuerta congress is considered unnecessary, as the term of office of the Madero con gressmen will not terminate until September 16 next. It is probable the old congress will proceed as though it's deliberations never had been interrupted
 In spite of fighting during the last few days between the federals. SUD- ported by the capital police and the rebel bands which have been attack ing the small towns just south of Mexico City, the capital apparently is undisturbed. Citizens appear to feel confident that the revolution is over and that the transfer of authority merely is a question of detail.
 Huerta's last act before he em- barked at Puerto Mexico yesterday tended to strengthen this feeling. The former dictator telegraphed to the governors of the various states under federal control urging them to recognize Provisional President Car bajal and to give him every aid in terminating boodshed.
