When Choosing'
A WIFE
A man of sense wants not only good
looks, but charming manners a genial
temperament. So it it when a gentle
man is in search of a suit or overcoat.
Sweatshop clothes are frequently
made from nice looking cloth, but
character is lacking. The cloth is not
shrunk like "High Art Clothes "1 in
stead of High Art linen canvass, oth
ers put in cheap burlap. Instead of
hair cloth stiffening as in High Art
clothes, cheap clothing has some poor
starched material.
Whim ordinary clothes becomo wet they got out of shape,
while High Art clotfn "Uy put," m President Roosevelt
would say. Tho price of High Art clothes is but little more
(if any more) than ordinary clothes. The appreciative, dis
criminating public in invited to consider these facts and
inspect our " Ilight Art " clothes.

ASKS MORE SALARY.

Treuaurer Pcaley at the Inst meeting
In which the council was asked to In
crease the salary attuched to the of'
rtce, which la 1900 yearly. In report
Ing on the communication Chairman
Brlx, of the ways and means commit
tee said he thought that, If any In
crease were to be made, It should take
effect on January 1. However, he Ve-
lleved other oftlclala were entitled to
the first Increases. Some years ago
the salaries of all city officials wore re
duced 20 per cent, and later were re
stored except In the case of the at
torney, auditor and jurveyor. If any
Increase were justified by the condition
of the finances of the city, Mr. Brlx
thought It should go to those three of
ficials. The Increase was not granted.
Councilman Hansen presented an or
dinance providing tin Increase of $5 a
month In the salaries of the drivers
and engineer of thn fire department.
The men are now receiving $65 month
ly. The matter has been referred to
the ways and means committee.
STREET MATTERS.
An unjust assessment for the im
provement of Commercial street from
Sixth to Third has prompted the coun
cil to order a new assessment. The
Improvement cost (3100.
The street committee's adverse re
port on the remonstrance against the
Improvement of Exchange street from
Twelfth to Seventeenth was adopted.
while the remonstrance against the
Improvement of Third, from Commer
cial to Duane, was favorably acted up-
Thto latter Improvement will not
be made during the winter months.
The grade of Fourth atreet from
Franklin to Exchange and Franklin
from Fifth to Twelfth are to be estab
llahed at oii'-e. An ordinance for the
Improvement of both thoroughfares
was paused under unMon of the
rules lust night.
Ordinances establililiig the grade of
Franklin avenue from fourth to Fifth
and that of Fourty-nlnth from Cedar
to Birch were paased under suspension,
while a resolution declaring the Inten
tion to establish the grade of Fiftieth
street between Cedar and Birch was
adopted.
An ordinance providing for a drain
on Thirty-fourth street was passed,
and the surveyor was Instructed to re
port the most practicable grade on
Third between Commercial and Ex
change. An ordinance providing for
the Improvement of thts last named
street was killed as It did r.ot take In
one block which needs Improving. A
new ordinance will be Intioduced.
WILL VACATE STREET.
An ordinance was presented by Mr.
Nordstrom providing for the vacation
of the foot of Seventh stmt, In Alder
brook, for the benefit of O. W. Hume
Mr. Hume needs the property In ques
lion for h'a wharf, but the other In
terested property owners have not
been consulted and a request for
unanimous consent for suspension of
the rules was not forthcoming. Should
the city vacate the street without con
sul Ing the property owners, it would
be liable to suits for damages, and for
this reason the matter went over.

NOW IN SESSION
No Doubt That Plan of Arbitra
tration Will Receive dig
Majority Today.
MITCHELL'S WARM GREETING
Leader Urged Acceptauce, Say
In? Sacrlfieeu Would Be
Nccemtarr to Victory
Will Vote Today.
WILKES BARRE,Oct. 20. -The anx
lously awaited convention of the 143,
000 striking miner met today, but did
not reach n vole on the projis: J plan
of settlement. It Is expected to do so
tomorrow. There were 662 delegates
present and ihty werj empowered by
the local unions to cast S07 votes for or
against President Roosevelt' proposed
plan of arbitration.
Th? .jueetlon of eny.neers flreiwn and
pumpmen getting their ;hv? back
proved the only Mumbling block in the
way of almost immediate adoption of
the president'! plan, which tarries
with it declaring th strike off and a
general resumption of work through
the hard coal mine region.
The ltadera of the strikers, except
Mitchell, were hardly heard at all In
the convention today, the engineers be
irg allowed to give full expression to
their teelings. But tomorrow, it Is
prjdlcted, Ihe leader vlll be heard,
and one of them said tod-iy that there
would not be 'more than J5 votes re.
coided agatist the plan which Presi
dent Rooseveltha3 proiwsed. to them.
and which all of the highest officials
of the mlnewoikers In this region have
earnestly requested.
The.- were two sessions, forenoon
and afternoon, and th; net result us re
gards the progress of the convention
toward Its great object vas permanent
organization, with Mitchell In the
chair; his speech laying the president's
plan before the delegates, his eloquent
Impromptu speech advocating its
adoption and the appointment of ".be
committee on resolutions. The cues
tion before the convention when it ad'
Journed for the day was on the adop
tion of the resolution embodied in
Mitchell's opening speech to call off
the strike and leave all questions to
the president's commission.
lresldent Mitchell was unable to at
tend the morning session, but he pre
sided in the afternoon and read a
carefully prapared opening address.
The closln? words of Mitchell's ad
dress were:
"That there are discordant elements
in this convention, that there are dis
satisfied ones at home, I am fully
aware, but, gen-.lemn, with all the
earnestness of .vhtch I am possessed,
I urge that you give approval to the
action of your executive officers, who
have recommended the acceptance ot
the proposition that the strike be de
clared off and all men are then to" re
turn to work In their positions, and
their working places occupied by them
prior to the Inauguration of the strike,
and that all questions at issue be sub
mitted for adjustment to the tribunal
selected by the president or the United
States."
Tremendous applause greeted the
close of the address.
Later In the day. speaking of. the
complaint that the engineers, firemen
and pumpmen would not Becure their
former positions, Mitchell said to the
convention:
'As you know, the companies refuse
direct negotiations with us, though
from the Intermediaries we have re
ceived assurance that the companies
are going to meet the Issues squarely;
that as far as possible the men are to
be returned to their old places. While
we shall try with all the power we
have to get every man that struck
back to his old job, we will make spec
ial efforts for none and show special
favor to none. It may be true that
some will be sacrificed, and, as much
as we shall regret, I desire to say that
no battle was ever fought, no victory
ever won that did not carry with It
some victims. Lives have been lost
to gain the most 'trllilant victories that
were ever won In the world."
The committee on resolutions met to
morrow, Nothin? official was given
night and outline! t set of resolutions
to be presented to the convention to
out as to what they will contain.

DRAGGED HIM FROM THE JAIL
At Secluded Spot Out of Town
He Was Bound and JJurnod .
Despite Ilia Piteous
Pleadings.
FOREST CITY, Ark., Oct. 20.-Th
mob that avenged In a terrible mflni.pf
the death of Mrs. Edward Lewis lis
tened stolidly different to pleading
for mercy that came from the lips ot
Charles Young (colored) tonight as
the flames leaped around him at an
isolated spot a short distance out ot
town, '' '
To the agonizing screams of the ne
gro the mob turned a deaf ear, and
when death bad ended the fearful suf
ferings of the victim of its wrath Its
members went quietly back to their
homes.
The murder of Mrs. Whits was
brutal crime, and the guli; of Young
was established beyond doubt. He
had been placed in 'all here, but the
mob had little difficulty In securing
the prisoner. 'About 8:30 the crowd
marched to the jail and battered down
the front doors with sledge hammers.
Then, taking the. cell keys from Dep
uty Sheriff Murphy, they opened the
door of Young's cell and dragged iilm
to the street.
."The burning had; been carefully plan
ned, a spot one and one-half 'mtirs
from town having been selected as the
place for the execution. Here a stales
had been driven into the ground and to
It the negro was bound. ' The mob
piled wood around their victim, touehai
the match and flames leapt u.
From the time of leaving the Jail
until the flames had done their work
the negro begged piteously for mercy,
but none was shown him. He died In
frightful agony in the presence of sev
eral hundred men.
