FAkIRS TABOOED
Games of Chance Barred from the
Mitchell Corn Palace.

Mitchell, Sept. 6.-Mayor A. e.
Hitchcock has signed the death war
rant for paddle wheels, fortune tell
ers and other games of lottery and
chance at the corn palace this year in
an announcement made here that
such practices as have proved SO pop
ular in the past will be barred from
the carnival this year.
The corn palace celebration, which
opens the last of the month, will
seek to have nothing on the grounds
that does not give value for the
money received,

All forms of petty gambling such as
pillow raftles and paddle wheels Civ
ing away dolls to the one holding the
lucky number, will be strictly for
hidden this year during the corn pal
ace. The time of the paddle wheel is
past, and we are going to show moth

AUTUMN STYLES
THE BIG STORE A CHATTY PLACE
ON THE SUBJECT OF AUTUMN
STYLES.

What's new for autumn and win
ter wear? This, the question that In
yariably leaps TO the lips of every
style loving woman as the 'feg-end"
of summer slips away, was answered
a~uthoratively and interestingly by j.
A. Johnson, when a reporter for The
Daily Leader sought him out in the
interests of our eager feminine
readers.
II have been much impressed with
the seasons new fashion," said Mr..
Johnson. Never can | remember
when a oma has been given such a
range to exercise her individuality,
and the new silhouette is as graceful
and captivating as n would
imagine.
The tailored suit, which is usually
the first requisite of a woman's au-
tumnal wardrobe is pleasing in the
extreme. A decidedly new note is the
short jacket with fitted or belted
front and box back. Another very
clever design is that which has its
origin in an adoption from the Italian
army suit.
DhiIIS COnllIuG dDOul the SAINT
length as that which gave so much
youthful charm to those of the pass
ing summer. Dresses show many
short fitted waists, with basques in
full hip length, and gathered skirts.
The ever popular separate coat
takes loose and ample roominess in
ieep rich coatings and pile fabrics.
And now for the autumn millinery.
The chapeau which ONE who
know, have termed chic and smart,
may be a sailor hat is very, very
broad and very. very fiat, with a wee
Tower trimming that clings to the
brim or a sharp bead ornament
placed at right angles with the
crown.
Or it may be a tiny turban that
tits to the front, with trimming that
is conspicuous because of its absence
except for a small fat rose or tailor
ed bunch of ribbon. These are the
two styles that lead in popular favor.
And If Milady could GO a~-looking
in the New York shops she would
see no prettier ready to wears than
are now on display right here in the
Big Store.

AROUSED FROM SLEEP
KEYSTONE FARMER HAS AN IN
TERESTING ADVENTURE
WITH BEARS.

Keystone, Sept. 6.-Charles Me
Chung, a farmer and rancher living
near here, had an interesting adven-
ture with a bear and two cubs while
on the top of one of the nearby
mountains. McClung went to the top
of the mountain for the purpose of
getting out lumber TO be used OF his
farm. He had to remain overnight
and for a bed spread a blanket under
the wagon. At the darkest period of
the night he was awakened by a cold
object pressing on his face. With
thoughts of rattlesnakes he was
greatly alarmed and lay as still as
though he was dead. The pressure
of the object on his face was relaxed
after a time, and then the mother
bear, for such the night visitor
proved to be, placed its snout under
his body and attempted to roll him
over. The bear finally gave up the
effort and when McClung mustered
up sufficient courage to look around
he was surprised TO see that his visit
ors were a large bear and two cubs.
They evidently were looking for
something to eat. McClung was I'M
armed, so he remained as still as pos

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Sept. Especial: The
great battle being waged in Courland
upon the outcome of which hinges
the fate of the important Russian
port of Riga, at present a closed gate
to a possible German advance on Pet
rograd. is the dominant feature of
the latest war news. Further sue
cess by the Germans in their attempt
to force a crossing of the Dvina river
is reported from Berlin, but the Rus
slams have brought up reinforce
ments and are defending this most
crucial line stubbornly.
While the Germans do not claim to
have crossed the river, they say that
they have carried the fortified bridge
head at Lennewada, which is on the
Dvina, between Frie~drichstadt and
Riga, about forty miles from the lat
ter city.
Military critics claim that a Ger
man crossing of the river would
mean the evacuation of Riga and the
threatening of the Russian positions
south of the Dvina.
Along the rest of the eastern line
fierce fighting is continuing at vari-
Gus points. Northwest and west OF
wilma the Russians have been max
ing counter attacks, but the Germans
claim that this Russian offensive, un-
dertaken in an attempt to arrest the
Teutonic advance, has resulted in
failure.
Vienna announces that near the
Galican front, north of Zalosce and
east of Brody and in the district west
of Dubno and the Volhynian triangle
of fortresses, the Russians again are
Offering resistance along the entire
front. The Austrians are making an
assault on the Russian line in this
section. Farther south, according to
Vienna, the Russians everywhere are
%retreating on the Sereth line, pursued
by the Australian armies.
In the western theater there has
been a continuation at many points
along the line of violent cannonad-
ing.
In London the umor of peace
overtures are exciting considerable
interest, but it is authoritatively
stated that the JUNIORS have nc foun-
dation in any step taken by the Brit
ish government, or in any statement
issued in London from authoritative
sources.
1t is added that England has no
intention of making, at present. any
concessions other than those enum-
Grated in Premier Asquith's speech
on November 9 last, when he said:
THE i%rreducible minimum of
terms included the restoration of Bel
GUM, security for France against ag-
gression, the rights of existence for
small nations and the overthrow OF
the Prussian military machine"

FATALLY BURNED
MRS. RICHARD MATZ ATTEMPTS

law, Elma Matz. Mrs. Matz attempt
ed TO hurry the fire in the range by
pouring kerosene oil from a FIVE gal
lon can onto the smouldering fire.
The can contained about one gallon
OF oil and this exploded, saturatine
the unfortunate woman's clothing
with burning oil. Her husband and
"a hired man employed in the field
nearby saw Mrs. Matz run from the
house a mass of flames and h%urrying
to her assistance threw her into a
watering tank thus eXtinguishing the
flames. J. j. Fitzgerald of this city
passing the house a moment after the
accident took the injured lady into
his car and brought her to the hos
pital i'm this city. She was %frightful-
ly burned and upon examination ply
sicians at once pronounced her recov-
cry hopeless, and death came to her
relief at $50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The remains were taken to
Peck's undertaking rooms and pre-
pared for burial and thence removed
to the home of a cousin, Mrs. Lempke
in West Third street. Deceased was
a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Jo-
hanson Of Goodrich, N. d., and had
been married only FIVE weeks. Her
parents arrived by the north train
this morning and the mother is so

HOLSAPLE CASE
SENATOR VAN DENMARK ALSO
TALKS ON 500 LIBEL
VERDICT.

Mitchell, Sept. 6.-Senator w. f..
Van Denmark was interviewed regard
ing the judgment secured by him In
the Holsaple libel case, and made the
following statement:
1T is true that Rev. r. N. Hol-
saple paid into court the sun of 500
and costs, the amount of the libel
judgment rendered against him in
Justice Carpenters court. My atten-
tion has been called to his interview
in Thursdays paper giving his rea-
sons for making this payment rather
than defending the case on its merits.
1T is conceded that the amount
involved Is insignificant; that Rev.
Mr.. Holsaple's time is valuable; that
he could not change the place of trial
to Dawson county, and hat the case
would have to be tried before a Han
son county jury.
But the charge brought against
Rev. Mr.. Holsaple was not insignia
cant, and it Is strange that n occu-
plying his position should be too busy
to meet 1t. The libelous article was
apparently written for the informa-
tion of the voters of Hanson and Nc
Cook counties and 1t is hard to IN
derstand why Rev. Mr.. Holsaple
should be afraid to submit to these

AUTO THEFT
TOMMY THOMPSON'S CAR STOI-
I'm FROM EGAN AVENUE
SATURDAY NIGHT.

Tommy Thompson, the we'll known
young Leroy township farmer, was
in the city Saturday night and left
his Overland cal standing in front of
Runchey's bakery in Egan avenue
When he went for the car to return
home 1T was missing. Careful search
Of the streets did not reveal the
whereabouts of the car and becom-
ing convinced that it had been stolen
the sheriff was notified. Yesterday
the remnants of the car was found In
the ditch at the foot of the sharp Hill
IN the vicinity of Adolph Johnson's
farm at the eastern end of Lake
Madison. The indications are that
the auto thieves killed the engine
while climbing the steep hill, the car
running backward down the hill and
into the ditch. How the fire which
destroyed the car started is of course
unknOWn-whether by design or ac-
cident. The remains of the car with
little left other than the iron work
was brought to the city today on a
dray and unloaded at Reiser's ga
rage. West Fourth street. The car
had been i'm use three years and had
been kept in good repair by the own
er. This is the first auto theft to oc-
eur i'm Madison, but such tnievery
frequently occurs in other towns of
the state, and Madison officers re-
ceive notices daily of car thefts in
the surrounding states.

Evidence of the truth of the state
