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.

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

The ride across the short grass pra

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 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

thing to say later about the great fo

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

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.

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.

'MARK HANNA , TRUE PROPHET.
Washington , Oct. 3. "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.
"He pointed out that the differences
between labor and capital were becom
ing more pronounced each year.
" 'Mark you , ' ho declared , 'in twenty
> cars , yes , In sixteen years , there will
be no republican or democratic par
ties , as wo know them today. The
\oters of the nation will be lined up
with the conservative or radical par
ties , two dominant parties that are
coming Into being. '
"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. "
