This case has attracted much at- tention. Dingwall and fourteen others were accused of conspiracy by the Car- men’s Union and they were expelled from that organization. The alleged conspiracy, so the union contended, was in giving away the secrets of the union.to the management of the United Raflroads. The case has been hanging fire fos more than four years. At the meeting of the union Tuesday night no action was taken, but it is generally conceded that there is no alternative but to seat the man. Cases somewhat similar have been probadbly go to jail. Dingwall was taken into the employ of the United Rallroads and has with that company ever since. In the astern cases it was decided that no union had the right to expel a mem- {ber.

The Minneapolis convention, which decided the fate of the wood | workers, gave them two years in which to unite with the carpenters. It is probable that the merger will have taken place long before that time ex- pires. Wood Workers' Union No. 100 of Cleveland surrendered its charter the other day. One result of the uni- fication will probably be the intro- duetion of the eight hour day in all wood-working establishments. . . . Labor Commissioner O. P.

KOSTER DIVORGE SuIT UNVEILS PATHETIC GASE After Many Years of Happy Wedded Life Husband Leaves Wife MYSTERY IN SPEECH [Strange Impulse Rends Two Hearts That Had Been Content Because with a brief, bitter speech Fred J. Koster, manager of the Cali- fornia Barrel Company and brother of Brigadier Genmeral J. A. Koster, Na- tional Guard of California, had left his wife, with whom he had lived for six- teen years, she reluctantly brought suit for divorce yesterday. Koster had sald to her: “You have been an ideal wife to me, a perfect homemaker, but I deo not eare for you as a husband should care for his wife. I cannot explain the feeling that I have, but I must leave you.” The separation occurred on Septem- ber 3, 1905, the day after Mrs. Koster's birthday had been celebrated Wwith mirth and felicitations at the home of J. L. Koster, father of the husband. The couple had married October 30, 1899. Yesterday Mrs. Koster brought fuie for divorce from her husband, alleg- ing desertion, and asking for a division of the property, all of which is com-| munity. She asks for $50 a month ali- | mony, $750 counsel fees and clear title| to the property at 1497 Masonic avenue, where Mrs. Koster is now living in a home made dainty by her at the time when she and her spouse lived hap-| pily until the morning on which Koster | made his mysterious speech.

September 2, 1905, was a typically happy day in Mrs. Kos- | ter's life. 1In the evening a family group gathered at the home of J. L. Koster, the head of the family, and the wife’s birthday was feted. Koster| had brought her a beautiful present. The next morning he left her.

ST The Tone of a Grand Piano in the Compass of an Upright that's what you'll find in the Chickering Quarter Grand —and only there. Formerly the musician who had insufficient room for a grand piano had to be content with an upright. Now——the Chickering Quarter Grand will go into any space where an upright can be accommodated, yet it has all the tone depth and volume of the finest grand. More than that—it has a certain distinctive tone quality that is equaled in no other piano.
