We have a boy and guess she has as

to protect that boy as far as she can BY
refusing to allow her voice in the mat

ONE OF THE WORST FEATURES
about this whole matter of drinking il the
ruin of so many young men. Not the mere

and to keep from appearing stingy every
man in the party treats and by

"If the women had a voice, they would

"Well, they should have q voice in it.
There is Mrs. Hunt, of St. Louis, she pays
q great deal of tax on q large amount Of
property. Just now we are agitating the
matter of granite in our streets and why
should she not have word as to whether

A Slight Breeze.

Through some misunderstanding or dis.
position which the BAzOo does not under.
stand, the night yard men, to the number
of t.enty, employed In the Pacific and
K. & 7. yards in this city, quit work, yes.
! terday morning, summarily. Some Of
them were little mysterious and foolishly
exhibited their splceu by breaking The
night.
Last night the men conSregafed at the
corner of Fifth street and the railroad and
refused to 60 to work. They complain
that they work too many hours for the paw
and some other things which perhaps could
not be well explained to the public.
Mr.. Graves, the X. & L. yardmss,er at
night, was at work early i'm the evening
single-handed, endeavoring to get the
passenger trains through, which Was ac-
complished without much Inconvenience,
"The dead freight" Mr.. Graves said, will
stand still until have help"
The night men said that probably the
day yard men would quit in the morning.
About forty men ir all are employed in
the two yards, both day and night.
The matter cannot be dignifed with the
name of strike The men have the right
to quit work for the company, but thew
should SO conduct themselves as to still
have the confidence and good will OF their
employers and take good care not to inter
rupt the traffic of the road. as they in
jure their own good name more than they
harm the company by their summary way
OF doiLg business.
Frank kidwell, general yard master,
WAS seen about midnight at the Union de.
pot. He was Intercepted bv BAzoO re-
porter regarding the situation and the
men.

me OF their intention TO quit and the first

force had been increased a few days ago to
make i: lighter on them, and ] think II
was the intention to increase their pay on
the first OF next month, but now they can
60.
Reporter-Do you think the day men
will quit?
Kidwell-No, think not They have
expressed no such intention, at least
K Il was told the men broke their lamps

But while the Invasion was an easy
thing and the intentions most laudable and
truly enterprising, the ex-senator was
found as dumb as an oyster, So far as any
expression of opinion could be obtained
from him.
"Mr. Dorsey" said the reporter, after
