Prima Donna Springs Surprise. New York, Nov. 2. A double-bar relet hobble skirt appeared on Fifth avenue for ten very exciting minute? the other day, and then melted int the Plaza hotel and was lost to view. But the interesting sartorial innovation had rather a big time during the brief swift stroll from the hotel St.

Regis, at Fifty-fifth street, to the Plaza, four blocks further up. To all effects the frock had been plaited narrow from waist to ankle, but as the wearer hastily ran across the avenue to escape a green motor bus, it was evident that it really con sisted of a pair of extra narrow hobble skirts one for each leg of the wearer. More than forty women and not a few men waited on the pavement tc see tne wearer ot tile uouDle-Darreled hobble skirt take up her line of march again, but seeing her audience, she hailed a passing taxi and was whirled to the Plaza. And every one gasped and said: "Isn't it just like Mary Garden to spring a frock like that?" For the wearer of the new and un- hobbled hobble skirt was none other than Mary Garden.

Daily Republican, Clay Center, Kan. Assembly hall Friday night. Looking Toward a Settlement New York, Nov. 2. The express strike neared' a settlement today when the strikers informed Mayor Gaynor that they were willing to leave the case to an arbitration committee to be selected by the conciliation com mittee and the National Civic Federa tions.

The mayor will try to secure the consent of the companies to ar bitrate the matter. Hereafter all union men who find it necessary to go to a hospital, are requested to come to the president ol secretary of their union or to the union physician for an order. By order of the executive committee. The Call lays great stress on tht fact that the Homcstake company has cut off the hospital fee for its men. The Homestakc Mining company, through its past history of thirty years, have thisv and only this, to point to any concession to have ever been granted to its employes.

The reason for this is plain to appease the wrath of its present employes and to induce the men to remain and help whip themselves. It is not so many years ago that its miners, who were working with hand steel, were receiving a wage of $3.50 per day. At the time of the installation of the drilling machines, about half of these men were put on the machines as helpers, and the wages of these former miners were cut fifty cents per day. This company has paid the lowest wages of any mining company operating in the county. The wage paid by the Homestake for what is termed "top vyrk," has always been $2.50 per day, while in other Black Hills camps the minimum wage for this class, of work has been $3.

When the Spearfish ditch was started by the- Homestake company, that territory belonged to the jurisdiction of the Terry Peak miners union, and when it came to the organization of the men, the territory was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Central City miners' union for the reason that the unions did not wish to raise the wage of this class of work from $2.50 to $3 on account of the long established wage of the Homestake company. This was done because the unions did not wish to clash with the company over the matter of wages. The former employes of this corporation have suffered long and patiently under the galling yoke, and the time has arrived when it will He tolerated no longer. It will be impossible for the Homestakc Mining company to secure men that will remain and be subjected to such injustices. The men now in its employ are not fools, and in time will wake up to the true conditions, regardless' of the hot air and taffy with which they have been fed these past few months.

And it might be well to further re member that the Homestake company has always slipped out of having to pay- damages to anyone hurt in its mines. It has always been the union lvat rame to the rescue of any of those so unfortunate as to get injured. Time after time petitions for aid have been circulated through the mine by the shift bosses for the boys to sign a donation of from one dollar to a day's pay. All of this kind of work has been going on for these many years, and as there has been no ser ions objection from the men, the offi cers of this institution have come to believe that the men would submit to most any kind of indignities. The loneest lanes have a turning and sometimes a very abrupt one, as this one proved to have.

The day of one man rule in this city and county is nearing its end. The business of the Union laundry, under the supervision of Billy Gorman, has increased most satisfactory to those most interested. Billy has completely overhauled the machinery, which now turns out as fine a class of work- as any institution of its kind in the state. Mr. Gorman takes an interest in his work and personally looks after detail of the business.

The board of managers certainly found their man when they selected Mr. Gorman as nianager. Eugene Brunswick has been installed as engmcd making good. These boys will make the Union laundry a success. Reports coming from the strike of the garment workers of Chicago, would seem to indicate that the society ladies of the windy city are not as hearties and calloused as are our would-be society ladies of the Black Hills.

Some of the ladies of the upper-level of Chicago interested them selves to the extent of joining a pa rade of the women and children who are compelled to sell themselves into the hellish slavery of sweat shopism. These ladies, along with the helpless women and children who paraded, were charged by American Cossacks, who rode horses into the ranks of the paraders, maiming and killing some of them. One woman, whom it claimed is very wealthy and a society leader, was carried to her home in a dying condition. Are we civilized? The ladies' auxiliary to the Trades Assembly will meet in regular session tomorrow night. A full attendance is desired.

Oinaha Nov. 2. Falling from the fourth floor of the new Union Pacific headquarters building at Fifteenth and Dodge streets, C. V. Brown and N.

(Red) Odell, structural iron workers, met with injuries which will probably cause their deaths. They were taken to the Omaha General hospital and attended by Dr. E. C. Henry and Dr.

R. B. Harris, head of the police surgeons. Dr. Harris said there was but little chance for recovery of either.

The breaking of a plank is said to be the cause of the accident. Biown and Odell are rivetters and were working on the top floor of the new building, which has now reached the fourth of twelve stories. They both stepped upon one of the many planks laid across the girders, which cracked and broke hurling the two men to the basement below. Fellow workmen swarmed from the embryonic structure and the police were notified. Brown was found with a terrible and ghastly cut extending from his crown to his chin, almost splitting his head.

He had struck a girder on the way down, and at the Omaha General hospital the doctors found that his whole skull was smash ed. There is said to be no chance for his recovery. Odell had few cuts on his body, but was suffering from a double compound fracture of his right thigh, internal hurts and a fearful shock. There is little hope for his recovery. Immediately after the accident the entire crew of iron workers quit work for the day, walking out in a body, as is customary in case of such accidents.

Warden Tynan has issued orders that hereafter new prisoners will not be compelled to wear stripped suits for the first ninety days of their incarceration, but will be put in the regulation dark blue, the same as the older convicts are permitted to wear, if their conduct is good. Hereafter only unruly prisoners and those who persist in breaking penitentiary rules and regulations will be forced to wear stripes. Another reform inaugurated by Warden Tynan is the censoring of newspapers and magazines sent or bought by the prisoners and granting permission to convicts to subscribe for and read daily papers if they wish. Heretofore only weekly papers and magazine papers have been allowed. John Bennett Very Low.

Renewal of Challenge Deadwood, S. Nov. 1, 1910. Early in September I challenged Governor Vessey to debate with me jointly, the three propositions, to- wit: the Czar Governor Law, the Military Law and the proposed Amend ment of Article Eleven of the Consti tution, which if adopted, will among other things, remove the limit from the taxing power of the state. Gov ernor Vessey up to this time, has de clined to meet me in joint debate and explain why he approves of these measures.

More than ten days ago the Lawrence county democratic com mittee, with the approval of the demo cratic state committee, billed me for meetings at Deadwood, on Friday evening, the 4th of November, and at Lead City, the 7th of November. It is now published that Governor Vessey, presumably with knowledge of my meetings, has had it announced that he will speak in Deadwood on Friday evening, the 4th of Novem ber, and at Lead City on Monday evening, the 7th of November. Since he has taken the same dates previously appointed for myself, he certainly cannot now longer decline to debate these questions jointly with me and defend himself for his approval of these measures and explain to the people why he wished these measures adopted by the people at the coming election I hereby renew my challenge to Governor Vessey to jointly debate these matters with me on Friday evening, Nov. 4th, at Deadwood, and on Monday evening, Nov. 7th, at Lead City.

Respectfully submitted, CHAUNCEY L. WOOD, Democratic Candidate for Governor of South Dakota. Both the Northwestern and Burlington mails wer two hours 1st in arriving today. Safety Cars to Rescue Miners (By Pan-American Press.) Washington, Nov. 2.

Six cars for rescue work in case of coal mine disasters, are now being by the bureau of mines and will be located within a few days in midst of the different coal districts of the country. A corps of miners trained in rescue work and furnished with the latest rescue apparatus will accompany each car. The terrible loss of life in American coal mines finally forced congress to take some action, for it was shown that where, in foreign countries, from nic to two miners were killed in every i.ooo employed here, in the United States, the average was from thrw ive lives wontonly sacrificed. A mining engineer and a surgeon of the American Ked Cross will ac company each car and deliver illus trated lectures on the use of explosives equipment, fire prevention and first aid surgical treatment. Each car will contain eight so-called oxygen helmets, a supply of oxygen in tanks, one dozen safety lamps, one field telephone with 2.000 feet of wire, resusticating outfits and a small out-lit for use in demonstration and ae tual practice of equipment relating tirst-aid-to-the-injurerl in with mine accidents.

One end of tlu ears will be fitted up as an air-tight room to be used in training the mtn in the use of the so-called oxygei helmets. The absence of these helmets at most of the great mining catastrophe-iii the United States has resulted in a terrible loss of life. The helmet? proved their wortli at the ill-fateu Cherry mine, when the rescuers succeeded in getting twenty men out alive after they had been entombed seven days. Japanese Object Over Seizures, Victoria, B. Nov.

2. Japanese newspapers protest bitterly against the alleged injustice done sealli.t schooners in Bchring sea by the United States revenue cutters and officials. The Nippon says the sealing schooner Tokai Mauri, seized th's season, was not guilty of poaching on the sealing grounds, but because a few fresh fish were on her deck and were inferred to have been taken in United States waters, she was seized and the crew of thirty-eight fined five hundred dollars each. They were told if they wished to appeal that they must do so withm thirty days and put up $10,000 each. This being impossible, they were imprisoned.

The Nippon also states that the Tokai Maru was fined $400 for not reporting when calling tor water. Fire at Salem. 1 Salem, Nov. 2. Salem will be darkness, for many nights to come, owing to the destruction of the elec-j trie light plant and roller mill, which started in an unknown way in plant at 2 o'clock Friday morning.

The property is owned by the Salem Light company, nd was valued at $18,001. The insurance is $6,000. The plant was leased to W. K. Huntington, and was operated by him.

A number of the residences and business houses are dependent on the electric light for service, and the situation is a most distressing one. With the mill several hundred bushels cf grain and flour were consumed. Cuban Blew Up the Maine Kansas City, Nov. 2. Lecturing in St.

George's church here last night, Col. Jasper Ewing Brady, one of the four officers sent by the government to investigate the blowing up of the battleship Maine, declared that the mine which destroyed the vessel and caused the death of 207 men had been placed there by Cubans and was fired Jose Zavaldo, an electrician in Morro castle. Zavaldo was afterwards shot by order of General Blanco. Col. Brady said' the report was made in accordance with the facts given by officers to the president and secretary of war.

Milwaukee to Build North. The Milwaukee grading oufit con-isting of four cars of material and arrived in the city yesterday fternoon. It is a part of the Mcln- isli outfit that has been at vork on the Milwaukee extension to. the coast and on the Cannon Ball and Cheyenne river branches. The outfit vill winter near Rapid City and will go to work on the Milwaukee exten--ion as soon as the surveyors get the ines run and make the necessary r-ranegments.

Yesterday two civil engineers in the employ of the Milwaukee, bought tents and other outfittings for use in the field while they are running the lines out of Rapid City north. They ay they have orders to pick up a gang of helpers here, but refuse t6 say just where the extension will go to; but those on the inside claim the extension will run directly from Rapid City to Newell and thence northwesterly to connect with the coast line at some logical point. The grading outfits that arrived in Rapid City are in charge of C. A. Wickham.

a sub contractor for Mcintosh Bros. The Wickham Brothers live at Council Bluffs, and are themselves extensive railroad builder. They take a great deal of work on original contracts besides handle a number of sub-contracts. They will arrange to have their stock taken care of at some ranch near Rapid City, and as soon as the engineers are through with the survey the new work of extension will begin. It is said, the work of grading from here to Newell does not present any great difficulties and the work will progress rapidly after it is once started.

The Milwaukee is also shipping grading outfits to Platte to work on the grading extension from Platte to Chamberlain. This line will be built as rapidly as possible, as the Milwaukee is anxious to get a shorter through line from Chicago to the coast than the line running via Minneapolis and It is said now that the line from Newell will bear northwest till it comes to the Little Missouri river and will follow the river to the main line, which will make the junction at Marmath.
