DON'T BE FASHION'S SLAVE. Adele Ritchie Tells Women How to Well Dressed. New York , Oct. 3. Adele Rltch the actress , makes these statemer on the clothes question : "Don't wear so many clothes. Is : n swan prettier than a goose ? T difference Is In their lines. The mi al : Follow the swan. "Don't be a slave to styles. Just 1 cause , for instance , hobble skirts n the rage , don't be foolish and w one. The ridiculous Is never beco Ing , oven to beauty , and on a plr woman is ludicrous. "Good dressing Is good art. Go art Is never garish. Therefore , do try to look like a poor quality ralnbc You'll only get the laugh for yr pains. "People don't turn around and str rudely at a well dressed woman. I they will sit and study her in t street car or elsewhere , just to f hints. There's a vast difference tween being studied and being stai at. "Blondes must never wear 'shl things. ' "Finally , cultivate long , flowi lines. Wear one piece dresses. W ( the same color skirt and waists , anything but business wear , the sh waist Is condemned as bad. "Tho corset ought to be fitted ca fully to the figure by an expert , oth wise it will injure vital organs. Tli one ought to put on a princess s and a fitted underskirt one that 1 snugly about the waist , without a si of a wrinkle in it. Over this goes I dress. And that is all. And that not Immodest or too little cover ! : It is a costume that is hygienic n sane and in good taste. " Gregory School Bonds Sold. Gregory. S. D. , Oct. 3. Special The News : The school bonds hr been sold to an Ohio firm of broki and work will be resumed on the n building at once. Two stores are ce pleted and the third one will soon done. This building will bo one of t most modern in the state and will commodate about 1,000 pupils. 1 old building is very crowded and c more grade will bo moved into a st ( building October 3. MOTOR CARS ARE CHEAPER. Now York , Oct. 3. Art Interest ! tabulation of the average motor ( prices since 1303 , prepared by t American Automobile assoclatli Bhows that motor car prices rose fn 1903 to 1907 , but that since that tli the prices have gradually declined This decline , according to the as : clatlon's experts , has not been brouf about by any radical reduction In t jprico of motor cars , but by the grc Increase In the manufacture and salt of machines selling for (1,500 or less , In the early days of the Industry a cm selling for $1,500 was rare , while now the greater number of machines sell for , under that tlgure. The figures show that the trend In manufacturing has boon to give mort each year for the same list sum , rather or than to make n cut in the soiling price. There has been a tremendous In crease In the making of what an termed moderate priced cars , and i normal and hcllthy Increase In the number of higher prices machines. From $1,133.27 as the average price for cars In 1903 , the average ran uj to $2,137.50 in 1907 , and since that I has decreased until the first si ; months of 1910 she t ? fl,545.93 as UK average price.

Enough gravel to pave the roads o : he mill grounds has been found ii the Northfork river. The Sugar Clt Jereal mills have put to work a serai or , which is piling the banks of th Ivor with the gravel taken from th river bed. It was discovered rccontl ; hat some very fine quality gravel la on the river bottom , when the stem pump had taken large quantities c water from the river to enable th workmen to make repairs on the apro of the dam.

A mad dog scare kept the resldenl on Madison avenue and Elovent street in Intense excitement for a fe hours Friday noon , when a tolephor call came to one family to keep the children Indoors on account of the e cape of a dog which was believed I bo mad. The mother of the two chl drcn , who received the telephone me sage , had just taken her children iiil the house from the yard in which the were playing when she discovered tl dog lying on her front porch. Dr. < R. Meredith arrived on the scene ar drove the dog fiom the premises. Dr. C. A. McKim has gone to Lor Pine in answer to a call from ownei of cattle there , who say many of the cattle are dying. It Is believed tl cattle are suffering from the same di ease that has attacked cattle In No folk , but to a larger extent. This di ease comes from the cattle eating weed In the pasture which makes tl mouth of the animal sore. If not n tended to immediately the animal mouth Is soon swollen so large that cannot eat and it dies. One cow hi already died in Norfolk from this dl case , while a number arc sufferlr trom the effects of the poisonous wee James and George Craig of tl Kntz-Craig Construction company a : In the city looking over the paving s nation.

Puyallup , Wash. , Sept. 14. Leavii Crawford , Neb. , Monday morning , arrived here at 9 a. m. Wednesda The ride across the short grass pra ics of Nebraska , Wyoming and Mo tana to Billings was made at a fa clip on the Burlington aboard tl Puget Sound express , a magnifice train. Just across the South Dako line we passed through Ardmore , tl present homo of the once famous D < Mlddleton , who was such a terror the pioneers of western Nebrask Skimming swiftly along wo reachi Newcastle , Wyo. , where there arc e tensive coal fields. Sheridan , Wyon is a good town and growing rapid and substantially. Passing thront Dlotz , another mining town , wo glidi down the Little Big Horn river , Montana , through the Ouster battl field , which Is two miles south of tl Crow agency. The battle of the L tie Big Horn was fought to a flnli June 25 , 187G. Major General Gust with 260 men of the Seventh Unlti States cavalry , attacked about 10,01 Sioux warriors , who were camped ( the bank of the river. Custor planm to surprise Sitting Bull , who wi chief of the Sioux , drive the Indlai back , and by the ad ! of General Tor ry's force surround and capture the entire band of Indian warriors. CUB tor and his Intrepid veterans charged lown upon the Indian camp. The rot ! men nt first fell back , then closed It behind Cueter and completely sur rounded him. Seeing that his force was being annihilated he followed tin Instinct of the thoroughbred soldlei ind retreated toward a high point or the top of a hill. While doing thUhh men were being shot down by the surrounding savages. The remnant o : tits force made their last stand noni the top of the hill. Hero Custer am every man with him died as becomei brave r.cn. On the top of this hill , ovcrlookim the entire battlefield Is a large monument mont , encloseu by a fence , commem orating the battlo. The place when Custer fell Is marked by n white crosi and white slabs mark where each sol dler was found. The entire line of re treat , from the river to the hlgl ground can be distinctly traced b ; these white slabs. The details of thli battle are shrouded mystery. Not a white soldier was left to tel the awful story. The Indians llki frenzied fiends , kept up their blood ; work until the supply of white so ] dlers was exhausted , when they pro ceeded to mutilate the bodies of tin dead heroes. How many Indians fel during the battle Is not known , 1m the slaughter must have boon grua as Glister's men were trained am valiant soldiers. Revenge came later when the reoi ganlzcd Seventh cavalry nearly extei minated the remnants of Sitting Bull' Sioux nt the battle of Wounded Knor many years after , and Sitting Bull hltv self was shot and killed by a whit soldier , dying with his moccasins on At the Crow agency there arc a fe\ Indians seen lounging about , whos presence near the famous battlefleli assists the imagination to depict th real scenes of 187C. The battlefield about the size of n Klnknld home stead , is enclosed by a fence , and , broad , military road leads to it froi ; the Crow agency. A sentry , who keep guard over the field has a house in barn near the monument. The government has reserved a bi block of land In this vicinity as a nr tional cemetery. Surrounding it .ir prosperous farms and ranches and th scene is peaceful enough now to sill the quietest of Quakers. The massacr of Custer and his men , makes one c the saddest pages of American hi ; tory. Billings , Mont. , Is a wild and wool ) but up to date city , growing like mushroom , and much too "wide open to suit me. Going westward throug the state we passed Livingston , th gateway to the Yellowstone Nation ? park , an elegant , bustling , beautiful ! situated city , also enjoying a rapi growth. Climbing the east slope t the Rockies we reached Bntte , nea the summit of the continental divldi Looking down from the heights o the city below , with its myriads an clusters of electric lights , before da ; break , Is an enchanting vision , to beautiful to bo described. Butte ha an altitude of about G.OOO feet. It I the metropolis of Montana and th largest copper mining district in tli world. Butte has a rough and toug leputatlon and appearances seem < justify It. Passing through the fnmoi Gunlson tunnel we finally reacluj Mtssoula , the Dallas of the Flathen reservation country. I will have sor.i < thing to say later about the great fo est fire country. D. L. Crellin. Tacoma , Wash. , Sept. 14. Just b fore entering the forest fire dlstrli of Montana , you pass the town t Paradise , in the Flathead Indian re ervatlon. The name is suggestive ar you expect something of a heavenl character. You are not wholly disa ; pointed. The scenery is grand. Th Mlssoula river is as cjear as crystn with green and mossy banks , and tl : foliage has taken on the tinge of nu umn , gorgeous and grand to behol Paradise was lost to the Flatheat : and regained by the Northern Pacif railroad. There were a few horlzonti cranium fellows In town whose face wore a sort of "Shall wo gather at tl : river , where red Flathead feet hat trod" expression. The altitude < Paradise Is 2,500 feet above sea love just an Ideal height for a Flatheai At Thompson Falls we entered tl ; country of the great forest fires , son : of which arc still burning. It has bee an extremely dry year in Montan : A fire Is easily started. There is vast quantity of dead , dry and ha lotten trees on the mountain side an n spark from a passing train droppe on this mass of punk creates a coi flagratlon. The vast extent of the burned dl trict comprises a hundred square mile of mountain land. The recent fire burned more posts , poles and tel phone polo timber than Nebraska wl use In the next ten years. It was the big banks of smoke froi these fires that swept over Nebrask in August. This territory Is now fn nlshlng a veil of smoke that shuts 01 the magnificent scenery of the Pug < Sound country , and compels the ele trie lights to shine forth their effu gence by day as well as by night , heavy rain would lift the black , fune nl pall that hangs over the coast. It Is very dry In Idaho and Judi ing from the general appearance an depth of dust it has not rained sine the deluge. When the Creator gav Montana her choice of hills and mom tains , Idaho said "me too" and tli similarity Is apparent to this da ; But nothing can daunt the Norther Pacific. Her engineers resorted to n the tricks of the trade to ovorcom grades and gravitation. When Nntur swung an Impassable mountain i their way , they dived through a tui nel and spanned the abysses with ste < cobwebs. The city of Spokane , like Butte , I a beaut. There Is some fine looking Ian about this city , but It's fabled farm lands , do not , In my estimation , sur pass the fiats and bench lands of the North Pintle In Nebraska , either in extent or fertility. Many of the great fruit orchards there have to be Irrl gated. Many of the farms , near the city limits , are stiong and when the locks are picked , the ground leveled and tortlllzed , also Irrigated , I would think a follow would earn about all he icallzod out of his farm. What It tiuo of this section Is true of nearly all of eastern Washington. The crossing of the Cascades by the Northern Pacific was one of the trul > great engineering feats of the last ecu tury. Going up to the summit , above the clouds , and twisting and turning down the wcbtern slope , Is one of the most enchanting and entrancing ex perlences of the globe trotter. You never saw real big timber un til you pass through western Washing ton. Virgin foio&ts , In all their primeval oval wlldness , btlll greet the eye ol the traveler. The saw mills are eat Ing away vast tracts , but there Is ai abundance left yet. Puyallup , Wash. , Sept. 15. Edltoi News : When you cioas the Cascades into the western slope , you pass intt a different climate. There are enl ) two seasoiib west of the range we : and dry. The rainy season sets li about October 1 and lasts until th < following April. It has a wonderfu effect on the vegetation. Some of tin greatest forests of the world are fount here. You are pointed out trees tha wore growing before Columbus dis covered America and a few would datt back to H. C. It Is astonishing hov many billions of dollars worth of tree ! arc going to waste , either by fores fires or rotting on the ground. I seems , to the tenderfoot , that the pco pie of the western slope have a grudgt against their magnificent forests ant overlook every other resource In thel mad desire to clear the land of tin great trees. Perhaps the conservatloi plans may mature In time to save t portion of the forest lands. Next t < the forests Is the waste of water pow or. Innumerable streams rush sea \\artl , down the mountain slopes , un harnessed and unhampered in thel : courses. The coal fields of Washing ton are known to be practically inex haustible , yet they are not being de velopod. The lumber industry over shadows them. While the Pacilli toast country is peihaps the gre'ates fruit raising belt of the world , then Is room for great Impiovemcnt. Tin early orchards and vineyards arc ot Kolete. New varieties , selected will more care and properly cultivated yield enormously and the quality i unsurpassed. Puyallup is considered one of th best fruit districts of the state. Th small trees , mere twigs , arc distortei with the weight of the fruit they beai Hops and berries of all kinds grov to an enormous size , with but littl care or cultivation. As might be e > pected , the land In the clearing i worth something. One man , who ha sold his quarter section of wheat Ian in the Palous country , was moving hi family to a farm he had Just boirgh adjoining the city limits of Puyalluj This fruit farm of five acres .cost'hir $5,000 in cash. He had it figured ou that he could make more clear mono from this 5-acro farm than from th 160-acre Palous wheat ranch. Most c it was in berries and it costs money t start a berry patch and construct th frames and trellis to which the busl es cling. Peaches , Bartlett pears an small fruits grow and thrive hen Great logs are shipped In for the sav mills and their great size almas makes the 'poor tenderfoot gasp fo breath in utter astonishment. The hop Industry is another impor ant crop in this section. Ezra Meel er , who with his ox 'team and prairi schooner Is now traveling over th old Oregon trail , has a fine resldenc here. He was the first settler hen His first log cabin Is still standing an close to It Is the second homo , bull out of sawed logs. He donated a bloc In the heart of the town to the cltj which Is used for a park. On tht block are log cabin and old houst Old Ezra owned the original tow site and would have been rich If h had not speculated on the losing sld < Puyallup is connected with Tacom and Seattle by interurban car lines The prediction is freely made that I time these three cities will be merge Into one with a water front of fift miles. Tacoma Is enjoying a wondei fnl growth. It has' a deep water hai bor , the best on the coast. It has th largest stadium in America , whic seats 35,000 people. It Is n natuni amplthcater belonging to the big school. The cement work on the seat alone cost $150,000. I took the stean ship , Indianapolis , to Seattle , up th sound. It was delightful trip. Sea' ' tie Is called "the city on stilts , " bu It would be just as appropriate t name it "the city on terraces. " Th great size of the city and the almoa insurmountable obstacles overcome 1 building it is truly wonderful to b < hold. It Is built in streets that star , along the water's edge and are bull one above the other , like glgantl stone steps , that might bo the stall way of the gods , to the summit of th ' highest crag. Some of the mansion | that adorn the highest points lee I like toy houses or dove cotes perct ed on the highest hills overlooking th sound. Seattle Is distinctly American , wit ! the hustle and bustle of the Yanke hubs of commerce. Her public build ings are grand and modern. Thi young giant of the Pacific bids fair t make the eastern cities "go some during the Twentieth century. I stor ped a day in Contralia , Wash. Thi little city has thirty passenger train n day. Besides vast quantities of fin timber , there are coal mines and ston quarries near by , and agriculture am fruit raising are certain to becom inoro important in the future. D. L. Crellin. MORSE LEARNS THE LESSON. Now York , Oct. 3. Charles W. Morse Is not the wretched man that some stories have pictured him. Al though the oneMlmo "Ice king , " steam- fthlp owner and banker Is n convict In the federal penitentiary at Atlanta , ho IB making the best of n bad situation his wife says. Mrs. MOI-BO told today about it. "Mr. Morse believes as I do , " Mrs. Morse said , "that President Tnft will pat don him. It Is this hope that buoys up both of us. If I wore not wholly eoininced that Mr. Morse will bo granted his liberty before the year Is ended , I would fall 111 and die. As It Is , I have lost so much weight that my physician worries about mo. "When Mr. Morse began his life there" Mrs. Morse never uses the word prison "ho learned the great lesson of his own helplessness. He discovered that when loft to his own resources he could do practically noth ing. For example , he was made a clerk. Although ho had dictated thou sands of letters , ho found himself unable - able write ono on a typewriter. "Yet , Mr. Morse has not taken un kindly to learning the rudiments. It has made him respect far moro than e-ver before the great army of tellers who attend to the details In this world , He has even found a certain enjoy ment In mastering elementary prob lems. It also takes his mind away Irom himself. Wore it not for these dally tasks he would brood over his late and perhaps lose his mind. " "Did Mr. Morse suffer mentally from his confinement in a solitary . cell , where the warden says he was placed for receiving money In violation ol prison rules ? " "Please excuse me from speaking oi that , " replied Mrs. Morse , in an oven quieter tone. "I can only say that Mr , Morse has the kindest feelings toward those In charge. Discipline is disclp' line. Those Intrusted with the exccii- tlon of rules must follow them. "As you know , the last time 1 saw Mr. Morse I was about to kiss him , but the man with him forbade me. It hap- pencd In this way : My husband came downstairs in a hallway , whore I was waiting. He was on his way to the reception room , and when he passed near I instinctively reached out my arms. MAY BAR FUTURE RACES. Xew York , Oct. 3. The board ol supervisors of Nassau county , Lout Island , will hold a special meeting to day to consider the advisability ol cancelling the perm't ' for the grane prize automobile race scheduled to be held over the Vaiulr > rbilt cup course on October 15. Notwithstanding Sat urday's list of four dead and mon than twenty injured incident to tin Vanderbllt run , A. R. Pardington , general oral manager of the Long Island motoi parkway , Is authority for the state inent that nothing but official inter ference shall stop the grand prize race Several drivers booked to partici pate In the event have demanded mon adequate policing of the course ane William Pickens , manager of Barnej Oldfield , gave out the following ines sage which he says Oldfleld sent fron Chicago : "Withdraw my entry from grant prize race , unless course will be guard ed completely by troops. I am unwill ing to risk my neck and cur. " Oldfield follows with a severe ar raignment of the management of tin Vanderbllt race who. he says , "spon nothing to safeguard the drivers ant spectators. " The foregoing from Oldfield is some what cryptic , however , in that it wai said in New York that he had not beei entered for the grand prize. It wai at first understood that he would driv < a Benz car , but the Benz managemcn Is said to have decided on Hemery Heln and Herne as their drivers. | WIFE , BUT NOT EMPRESS. Vienna , Oct. 3. If the Archdukt Franz Ferdinand of Anstria-Hungarj succeeds Emperor Francis Joseph lit will have a wife , but no empress. Tht situation is interesting , and whethei the old emperor will do anything tt straighten the affair out before he dlei or whether on becoming emperoi Franz Ferdinand can do anything , is a question of discussion. The archduke married Countess So phle Chotek , lady-ln-waltlng In th < I court , and In 1900 the old emperoi I solemnly announced to the empire his i nephew's marriage was morganatii and therefore neither his wife noi his children had any of the rights o : j the Imperial family. j The archduke and his wife have , taken the situation philosophically ant j even hopefully. They are not worry I Ing apparently. Of course , there h much doubt whether , when the arch duke should succeed his uncle , he wll be able to hold the dual monarchy to gether. There Is a feeling of dlscon tent among the Hungarians , and the opinion freely Is expressed there wll ! be a separation of the two countries. MABEL STICKNEY A MODEL ? Newport , Oct. 3. Mrs. Mabel Goultl Stlckney has been chosen by Henry Clews , Jr. , an artist , as the model he will essay to Immortalize on canvas AH Newport is saying so. They agree that If he has made the choice Mr Clews has proved again his artistic sense. Mr. Clews is silent on the subject. "I never consent to bo Interviewed , ' ho said today.

"Mark Han- na's prophecy Is coining true without a doubt , " said a statesman the other day to several senators and represen tatives who were In Washington. "Following the successful campaign of 1900 , " he continued , "when McKinley - ley , whose forces Hanna generaled , was a second victor over William J. Bryan , there was a quiet dinner of jollification given to Hanna by a group of New York llnanclers. The press wao excluded. Hanna , as perhaps some of you know , was not an orator , but when occasion called for It he could lay down the law and expound facts In peerless fashion. The joy- nnsnpHB that sprang up at the din ner was given a sever Jolt when the guest of honor was called upon for a few remarks. "Ignoring nil reference to the great victory , 'The people have spoken , etc. , ' phrases that would seem to have been appropriate for the occasion , the man who had twice made William McKln- ley president of the United States took out his hammer and began to knock his hosts. I regret that his speech was not taken down steno- gruphlcnlly , but I will give the senti ment of It.

' "Ho predicted that before the presi dential election of 1912 there would bo great radicalism in both of the two great parties and that the Issues of the 1910 election would be centered around radicalism and conservatism. "Then , too , ho forecasted that the next eight years would see the radi cal movement , now called Insurgent , cropping up in both party ranks. It seems to mo that the prophecy has been practically fulfilled. " Amundson Changes Plans. Christlanla , Oct. 3.
