RIVER WORK REPORT
SAoAN, OF THE DUBUQUE
DISTRICT, RETURNS FROM
WASHINGTON
SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS

Was 10000.

capt y. u. Sloan, supervising insnactor
o1 steamboats, for the Dubuque distTtc+t
mas returned from a four weeks soio11To
III washington attending the annual con-
ference of the inspectors Of the ten Dis.
trlcts OF the United States, who each
year discuss rules and regulations COW
corning marine matters.
Capt Sloan states that but few obanooa
Were made in the regulations, but "a
was greatly elated over the prospect ~
the creation of a new department which
Is now before congress, which is Il a. \
known as the department Of commerce.
Whlch will take in all marine affairs, in
cIuoing the lighthouse and life saving
stations. This will strengthen marine
matters, as men who are experts in mat =
ters Of this kind will be at the head OF
this department.
Already high degree Of perfection has
been reached in the marine service as
shown in the annual report, which shows
that during the year 1901 not an engineer
In the Marine Engineers association in
the United States has had his license re-
voked. 1t is also interesting to know
that last year not a license in the Du-'
buque district was revoked, which speaks
We'll for the inspectors.
This report also shows that there vera
inspected in the Dubuque district last
year 100 steamboats,. There was one re-
4uSdlI the MS peCIOr uQQ1nS one boat uIl-
worthy. The total tonnage Of the steam
beats inspected in the Dubuque district
was 9,258 The rercrt also shows that
during the year 1901 eleven new boats
were added to the service in the district
Out of the total number Of steamboat
boilers inspected, numbering 1853, eight
were rejected OIL account Of being found
defective.
The total number of accidents to steam
boats in this district during the year was
five, three being frcm fires and two
caused by snags one Of the latter being
the disaster which happened to the packet
Dubuque down near Burlington last June
The total losses by these accidents
amounted to $20,050. The fire loss was
SIS 900, while the sr&gs caused a damage
of $3.50. The remarkable thing about
this report Is shown in the fact that dur
ing the year not q passenger was drown
ed, and only two employ es lost their lives
during the year. The total number Of
passengers carried by the steamboats, in
the Dubuque district during the year
was 1884, us, and the number Of original ,
licenses issued were 1913, and were re-
fused, being unable to pass inspection.
Capt Sloan says that congress will no
doubt pass law requiring the inspec-
ton of steam launches. These craft
have become very numerous during re-
cent years. and i'll many places they have
entered the trade in competition against
steamboats,, and steamboat men have
protested and have urged congress to
compel them to come under the same reg
uIations which govern the former.

The food of petitions protesting against
the enactment of the tax code continues
to flow into the house. Yesterday VOL
luminous protests were received from
Woodlake and WATERFOWL and Waibasha
and Mile Laos counties
Representative Dobbin, of Hennepin,
yesterday told the house some wholesome.
If unpalatable. truths touching the ques-
ton of petitions. 1t has been the policy
Of some of the friends" Of the tax code
to sheer at the petitions coming in
against the code. They have argued
that petitions amount to nothing, and
that they should not be considered be-
cause anyone will sign petition" Mr..
Dobbin said: you sneeringly ask-what
do petitions amount to? You say petit
lions are worthless. Let me tell you why
petitions are worthless, while the consti-
tuition of the United States provides that
the right of petition shall never be abro-
gated. 1t is because the men elected to
office under promises have paid no at
tenhon to those promises after the goals
OF their ambitions were secured and the
people have come to believe that their
right Of petition is a dead letter"

peats to the governor at length the story
ne mas told the newspapers. He has no
money to run his department and init
mates that he may have to shut up shop,
While all the banks and public offices are
In great need Of examination. The gov
ernor did not send along a bill prOvfd-
ing for Mr.. Johnson's relief, as he did
in the case of the overworked treasurer.
but he suggested that a bill will be
forthcoming, and that the legislature
should take due notice Of the exigenctes
of the case.

terday morning was allowed to report
on Sherman Smiths bill for a constitu-

without recommendation. There was no
objection to the reception Of the bill,
but Mr.. Jacobson at once objected when
Smith attempted to have it placed at
the head Of general orders. The speak
er sustained Jacobson's objection and
Smith retired without putting the mat
ter to test Of strength. The bill was
ordered placed on file and the author
will probably make no attempt to secure
it's consideration until the tax bill Is out
of the way. The sentiment in favor Of
the bill seems strong enough to insure
its advancement and almost immediate
passage as soon as the tax code is sent
to the senate.

Smart New Costumes.

The empire gowns, in damask. are
made with smart little corslets, and
are fuller than the models which In
spire them, the undermining OF them
rendering them practical for street
wear.
Some of the newest gowns combine
the empire and the modern style, so
arranged as to produce most har-
monious effect This is particularly
true of the new redingotes designed
to be worn over light underdresses.
The backs of such redingotes are
empire in form, while the front sus'
gests a modernized Louis XVI. Last
season was remarkable for the number
of mousselines ornamented with hand
painted designs. This year, and par
ticularly just at present. delicately
painted silks trimmed with fine lace
are the novelty of novelties. The bo-
lero in lace accompanies them, and
lace and tulle hat completes the
whole.

The Newest Jeweiry.

The newest jewelry is essentially
artistic both in design and in the
exquisite shadings of gold which are
the most soughtafter effects OF the
moment. Flowers are popular motifs
and lend their graceful forms and
lovely hues with artistic adaptablllty
to brooches and buckles. The blos-
som itself frequently forms the cen
ter, the stem and leaves being twisted
round to give th" outline.
Sometimes the stalk forms the
greater part OF the design, with a
cluster of the chosen tiowers-iilies
of the valley sweet pea. hyaclnth,
cematis or forget-me-nots-at one
side.
Beautiful heads, Or complete female
figures, often strange and weird de-
signs, appear in nany OF the larger

Third Coupon Identifies the ows


to give the owner of the parcel or
baggage a third coupon, to be given
up as means of identification upon
delivery of the goods.
The tag is to be usea in the follow
ing manner: On each of the three
parts appears the same number and
II the baggage is to be transferred
from the station of deposit, then the
parts will also have the name of the
station of departure and destination
The two detachable coupons are given
to the owner of the baggage and the
third is placed on the goods. When
the owner arrives at his or her des-
tination and desires the delivery of
the baggage one of the coupons may
be given to the delivery man, enabl-
ing him to secure the goods, the re-
naming coupon being given up when
the delivery is made, thus identifying
the owner and at the same time pro-
viding receipt to prove the proper
delivery has been made.

Electrical Experiments.

In regard to German high speed
experiments the Electrical Review
says that although the results of the
Gossen high speed tests showed that
the track was the weak part of the
installation, it is stated that the Ger
man engineers are now getting ready
a steam locomotive for similar expert
ments on the same track. This
would seem to involve good deal Of
unnecessary trouble. The track was
found unsuitable and did not even
permit thorough test OF the electric
locomotive. Instead of laying down
better track and continuing the
work so well begun, says the Re-
view, they are building a special
steam locomotive and will see what
can be accomplished with this on a
track known to be unsafe for speeds,
but a little in excess of those now
Aained on standard steam roads.
The results of these tests with steam
can hardly be expected to repay the
trouble and expense of making them.

Screen to Protect the Face.

The discomfort occasioned by the
hair falling on the face as it is being
cut from the head by the barber is an
unpleasant experience, which the
majority of men are called upon 20
pass through at frequent intervals,
and it has occurred to German in
ventor that the annoyance could
easily be done away with by provid-
ing some sort of face screen to
catch the cuttings as they are clipped
from the head. How the idea has
been carried out is shown in the ac-
companying drawing, the device con-
sisting of screen to protect the
face, together with a trough to pre-
vent the hair from falling on the
clothing. The device is preferably
transparent, in order that the custom
er's view may not be obstructed,

Raspberry Red.

One of the new fancies are rasp-

swiss and bati:te and are considered
extremely smart for forenoon wear.
Tney are almost invariably trimmed
with black laces marked over with
white floss and just a little golo
thread, and are transparently inset
In long lines upon the skirt and bod
ice. The effect over white silk under
drapery is most delightful. Black
lace hats and roses to match, or,
wreath of raspberries with foliage,
are a charming harmony, and as this
color has not been h;.ckneyed 1t car
ries a decided eclat, Geranlum RED
hats and parasols add great posslplll-
ties to the pongee, biscuit and white
Casino gowns, making them more
sought after than ever.
