just been granted "A franchise for the

There is every reason to believe that

that the city Is at last to secure n pub

they are unanimous in declaring will
do more than any other one thing for
h advancement and upbuilding OF the

Prior to asking for the franchise the
Des Moines men fully satisfied them
selves hat there was an excellent op-
ening here for a first class, modern
street railway system, and while they
do not anticipate that such a system
will be a paying venture from the
start. they are convinced that in time
the system will prove a profitable in

Chicago. Sept. 10.-The strike of the
Butcher Workinen's unions which has
demoralized the meat packing industry
throughout the country for the last two
months was officially declared off last
night by President Michael j. Donnelly
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of America.
MIR. Donnelly telegraphed the mem
bers of the national executive commit
tee asking their consent to the an
nouncement of the end of the strike.
and last night. having received favor
able answers from all. he declared that
the strike of the members of his organ
ization would end at midnight.
The strike Of the members of the af-
filiated unions at the stock yards who
quit work in sympathy with the butch
ers will be officially called off at Il
meeting of the conference board of the
allied trades. This was decided upon
at a meeting of the central body of the
allied trades. held tonight. The gen.
eral body was at first in favor of con-
tinuing the strike, but Mr.. Donnelly.
men were defeated. and that In order
to save his union from being entirely
disrupted he would order his men 10
return to work in the morning, nc mat
ter what course might be taken by
other unions. AS other unions had no
put naQ gone on strike to
aid the butchers, there was nothing
left for them but to follow the lead
OF Mr.. Donnelly, and they, too. decided
to call off the strike as far as they were
concerned.
When the packers were notified to-
night hat 1t had been decided to end
the strike they announced that they
would give places as far IS possible to
the skilled men, but it was stated u,
the same time that many of these men
would be unable to secure their old
places, as in many cases the work was
being performed in a satisfactory man.
ner by men who had been u since
the commencement of the strike.
1t is expected that the majority oil
unskilled men will be unable to secure
their old places again. 1t was a ques-
ton of wage scale for this class of men
that brought about the strike, the
packers refusing to sign an agreement
with any class other than skilled work.

TO ARMY.
Will Be Placed in Two Divisions With
kuropatkin at Head.


st. Petersburg. Sept. 10.-Besides the
formation of the fresh army corps as
the first answer to the Japanese success
at Lilac Yang, the Russian army at
the front will be recognized, probably
In the form OF two armies. in COM
mand of General Linevitch and General
Baron Kaulbars. respectively. with
General Kuropatkin as commander in
chief. General Kaulbars will go out
with the two corps now organizing in
h governments of Kaasan. Odessa,
Wilma and Kieff. General Linevitch has
been ordered by telegraph from Vlad-
ivostok to Mukden. This decision is
due in part doubtless to the growing
unwieldiness Of the big force uEder
General Kuropatkin's command, and
which will be largely increased by % n
slant reinforcements.
General Kuropatkin heretofore has
handled every detail of the vast organ
ization. The work is too much for one
man. and he is now almost broken
down under the strain. 1t is known that
the emperor Is personally one Of Ku-
ropatkin's strong supporters and 1t is
thought the general will, in all proba-
bility. retain chief command Of the two
armies. Kuropatkin, however. has been
seriously criticised by some of the en-
peror's close military advisers, and it
is possible that he may eventually be
superseded.
1t is understood that the emperor's
inspection of the Baltic fleet at Cron-
stadt Is the last he will make. and that
the fleet. when 1t leaves Libau. will
proceed to the far east.

A German traveller claims to have

people who still wear the tail of
primitive ancestors. He does not write
from hearsay. he has seen the tail.
says the London Chronicle. 1t belonged
ito a child about 6 years old, sprung
from the tribe OF Poenans. AS nobody
could speak the Pocnan tongue the
youngster could not be questioned. but
there was his tail sure enough. 10
very long, but flexible. hairless. and
about the thickness of ones little fin
ger. The Poenans IRE reported to be
very simple. honest folk. with IA child
like system of barter. They deposit In
public places the goods they wish
to exchange. and u few days later they
find there the equivalents they desire.
Nobody dreams Of stealing. This is
almost as remarkable as the vestige of

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS

True To their system of keeping some-

If not IN one part of the theater of war
then in another. the Japanese are nov
putting on Il couple of sideshows. with
marine scenery. to prevent a tagging
of interest while they set the stage for
IL new act about Mukden.
From Port Arthur comes n story of
naval activity. which indicates that
there has been another b~ombardment
and general assault on h fortress by
land n sea. Additional reinforce
ments are known to have been sent
to the besieging army. Report says the
latest assaults We're repulsed. Ammu-
niti"I is said to be painfully lacking
with tho defenders.
a new field of operations is opened
by the report that Korsakovsk. the
chief town OF Sakhalin island, was
bombarded by two Japanese cruisers.
This island will doubtless be one of the
prizes II Japan wins, for it was tradi-
tIonally a part OF the empire till Rus
STA o it over thirty Yeas ago. The
Japanese have been expected for some
time to land an expedition there as
soon as they had time and men to
spare.
From the seat of chief interest moth
ing signific;tn. conles except as the
density of Japanese silence is signifl-

ger of Il battle southeast Of the town.
and st. Petersburg reports that the
general staff expects another clash

is marching up the railroad twenty-sev-
en- miles east of the line. Oku's twenty
miles west of 1t: Kuropatkin's Is be-

RESIDENCE A MYSTERY.
Chicago Police Trying to Ascertain
Identity of Two Younu People.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Sept. 1O.Several
Of the large Chicago dailies during the
past few days have kept the wires hot
between their offices and Sioux Falls
in an effort to ascertain the identity of
a young man n a young who
registered at a Chicago hotel as being
from Sioux Falls.
They claimed to be brother and sis
ter and gave their names as Jesse and
Mabel Belts. The young nan after
they had been in Chicago for n time,
reported to the police that his sister
had m~ysteriously disappeared. When
oficers who were detailed on the case
attempted to find the young man for
the purpose of securing a full descrip-
ton Of the alleged missing girl. he. too.
had vanished.
No names similar to those given by
he young man and girl In Chicago
appear In the city directory. and MOTH
ing could be learned OF them here.
There appears little doubt that IL they
are from South Dakota at ALL they
are from some interior town and gave
Sioux Falls as their home In order to
cover up their true residence.
