The canning factory at Dukes has
been laid over until next fall on &C
count of not getting every thing in
shape. The movers In this enterprise
say they have not given up but will
surely make it go and have every
thing in gOod shape for business
next season.
The road from this city to Dukes is
travelled more than any road leading
to town and is In worse condition.
1t needs attention right now ana the
commissioner ought to see to it that
it Is put in shape for travel. Que

been washed away and is laying on
the side of the road should be fixed.
Just little work would put this back
in place and save maybe the lives of
people and the breaking of their We

the wonder is that loaded wagons get
over it at all. 1t is dangerous too.

STRIKE is ON AGAIN
BUTCHERS AND ALLIED TRADES
OUT AT STOCKYARDS.
Union Men Say Packers Broke Ar
bitration Agreement without
PrOvOCatiOn---Tea Refuse
to- Join Pending a Further At
tempt at Settlement.

Chicago, July 25.-Determined on
fight to a finish to enforce the demands
of the striking butchers, a sympathetic
strike of all the union workmen en-
ployed in the meat packing industry
throughout the country, with the ex-
ception of the teamsters, began this
morning at O'Clock.
Instead of joining in the sympathetic
strike the teamsters will make another
attempt to bring about an adjustment
of the controversy by arbitration.
This decision was reached late last
night at meeting of the joint council
of teamsters' unions throughout Chi
cage. who met to consider the endorse
ment of decision reached by the pack.
ing house tteamsters' union to quit
work with the other allied unions.
The decision of the stockyards team
sters was almost unanimous in favor OF
striking, but as it is necessary, accord
ing to the rules Of the teamsters' union
for the joint council to sanction any
strike movement, all the union team
STEERS in the employ of the packers will
remain at work during the struggle, or
until the joint council gives permits
sion to strike, should their efforts to
settle the matter by Cancellation prove
futile.
The committee appointed at the
meeting was notified to get into COM
munication early with the packers.
Whether the teamsters' efforts for peace
will prove successful none of the pack
ers' representatives would say. The
decision to make another effort for
peace was received at such a late hour
that it was impossible for the packers
to get together to decide ON what an
swer would be given to the intermedi-
airy committee.
The conferences between the strik-
ing butchers and the packers contin-
ued throughout Friday and until Satur-
day noon, when it became evident that
no settlement W. uld be reached unless
one side or the other should back down
entirely. The union men accused the
packers of deliberately breaking the
terms of the arbitration agreement en-
tered into last Wednesday, and that
therefore the butchers were not any
longer bound by it.

with what he had read in the litera-
ture Of the subject. says the Hospital
He found that he was quite unable to
tell from the nature Of the wound at
what range a wounded man had been
hit, or to say beforehand what kind
OF wound would occur at given
range. AS general rule the nature
Of the tissues struck was of more con
sequence than the range at which tho
bullet was fired.
Thus wounds of the Uranium or or
compact bones were accompanied by
extensive communion. while wounds
involving the soft tissues were, al
most always, perforating in charac-
ter, with very small apertures Of en-
trance and exit He saw number
of accidental wounds in the hands
and feet where the muzZle OF the rifle
was within a few inches Of the in
jured member, and in these cases
small perforating wound was the usu-
al result, unless the metacarpal or
metatarsal bones were involved. In
which case there was commonly pres

head were accompanied by extensive

death usually occurred in the field

experiences of the South African war

he saw which was not operated on

the wound was inflicted from perl

in both there were perforations OF
stomach or intestine which were closed
