NOT ALL LIKE ROSES.
Life at Camp Bailey as Described by
Kansas Soldier.

One of the Salina boys has discovered
that the lot of a soldier is not all play
and writes home to the Salina Union in
anything but a cheerful vein in the
following letter:
Camp Bailey, Aug. 20.-We arrived
here on the evening of the 18th but did
not get our baggage until the next
morning. We did not get any supper
or breakfast on account of it's delay
and when we finally did get something
to eat it was pretty slim picking for
lot of we'll fed Salina boys. To add to
our discomfort, it rained the night we
got here and we were without tents
blankets or ponkos, so we have had a
taste of the real thing in army life. In
the morning we were tired, hungry,
soaked and muddy outfit.
Camp Bailey is seven miles out of
Topeka in a little park called Vine
wood, and the water is so poor that the
officers will not let drink it fresh
for fear we will get our systems full
of typhoid. 1t all has to be boiled be-
fore it is fit to use.
The breakfast bill of fare is a small
piece of pork, two pieces of stale bread,
a half potato and a cup of black cof
fee without sugar. For dinner we have
a cup of soup-made from 1 will not say
just what kind of beef, but it is old
enough-a half potato and more black
coffee. For supper we have principally
faith, hope and an empty stomach. They
don't want to overfeed US for fear we
cannot do SO much hiking around.

PARTIAL VICTORY.
Restraining Order Against Four Strik-
ing Machinists Dissolved.

Chanute, Kas., Aug. 22.-In the
matter of the application of the Santa
Fee railway company for a restrainin g
order against the striking Chanute
machinists, which came before Judge
Stillwell, the order against George
Montgomery, Ben Laird, Wade Huff
and Gilbert Bennett was dissolved.
Loren Baker, Nels Nelson and James
Morgan were restrained from using
any undue influence in persuading any
present employees to quit the railway
company's service.
The decision is regarded as vic
tory by the men. The restraining or
der applied for by the company covers
a multitude of details. The partial
compliance with its request which
was allowed in the case of Messrs-
Nelson. Baker and Morgan, was
granted upon the strength of the evil
dence rendered by one apprentice en-
ployed in the Chanute shops, who
made affidavit that these men, after
the Ireland meeting, stated that if
persuasion could not induce him to
quit work, other means would be en-
ployed.
The order issued against these men
is only of a temporary nature. The
question as to whether it will be made
permanent will come up in the Octo-
Der term of court.

NOT THE LEAST HOPE.
Has Tom Sharlxey for Jack Nfunroe
Against Jeffries.

New York, Aug. 22.-Thomas Shar-
key, who has fought both Jeffries and
Munroe, SAYS:
81 pick Jeffries to win next Friday
nights championship fight at San
Francisco. 1 expect Munroe to give a
good account of himself: but I think
it is only a question of how many
rounds he can Withstand the fearful
attack of the champion.
II don't think it will be a long fight.
Munroe says he is going to cut out
the pace and carry the fight to JEFF
fries. The quicker he does this the
quicker he will be defeated. don't
think there is a man in the world who
can force the fighting with Jeffries
and get away with the best of it. Close
fighting is Jeffries' strong point. When
a fellow doesn't come to him Jeffries
goes after him and makes him fight
Whenever you come into contact with
the big fellow it is like running into
the side of a house. There is nothing
gained by clinching with Jeffries. The
closer you get to him the more you
will realize his wonderful strength.
The only way you could get the best
of JeffrieS is to wallop him on the jaw
a number of times and get away with
out a return. That, however, would
be a pretty difficult proposition, in
view of the fact that the champion has
gained so much speed and fast foot
work.
Every fighter has his favorite blow,
and at one time or other during a con-
test he will succeed in landing it. In
fact, many fighters prefer to feint
around an opponent and wait until an
opportunity presents itself to get
home the favorite wallop. Jeffries and
Munroe have few good blows. 1 have
fought both men, and I have a good
chance to see which is the most effec-
tive punch of each man.

Rock Island Road Will Probably Also
Change Time Card Soon.

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. 22.-The Rock Is
land is to install the block system of
train signals on the FL Paso division in
a short time it being rumored that the
new system will be placed some time
this fall and likely during September.
The business of this division is glowing
so much that the new system is as nee
essary as one of the eastern divisions
of the Rock Island.
The new system consists of signals
worked by electricity. showing a clear
or a blocked" track. These stations
are a certain distance apart and but
one train is allowed in a block at one
time. 1t makes collisions much more
improbable and will add to the safety
in travel.
