AS a result of the backing up of the

Councilman Sinner of the Fifth

secure the building of an additional
bridge by the Missouri Pacific across
the Shunganunga- A resolution was

about a year and a half ago request
ing the Missouri Pacific to erect
pile bridge further to the south than
the present bridge. The cost contem-
plated in the change represented
about $500, and the railroad de-

winds around and the present bridge
is built at one of the bends. When
high water comes, however, it strikes
across straight and the bridge is not
in position to take care of that water,
while the bank of the railroad bed

So the woman who can box, really
box like q man. not like other women
who dabble in the manly art, Is to be
a feature in our homes Or If not in
our homes in the homes Of others and
80 more or less part Of our surround
ings. Only one woman has yet, they
say, attained to such proficiency in
boxing that men who teach the SCI
ence admit she is worthy Of their
gloves. but hearing the complimentary
things that are said Of her success viii!
set many Of her sisters to striving for
honorable mention. And those who
succeed will find themselves possessed
Of an accomplishment that in various
ways may be Of considerable value. In
the first place, it conduces to good
health, and in the second place 1t must
make woman feel courageous in
many situations where her sex is COM
monty supposed to be scared almost
to death. Knowing how to box sue
cessfully a woman need not fear visits
from tramps nor encounters with them
on lonely roads; she would be able to
control matters at home and abroad in
forcible way that a former genera
ton never dreamed of.

ready Weakened.

ST. PAUL, Aug. Upon the break
ing off Of negotiations between the
railway officials and the representa-
tives Of the Order Of Railway Tele-
graphers at 10 O'Clock today. General
Manager Horn Of the Northern Pacific
followed the example set by the Great
for a general lockout Of all telegraph
ers on the company's lines who refused
to sign the revised schedule and agree
ment relating to rules and wages.
Superintendent Of the different divis-
ions Of both roads have been making
the rounds OF the stations, and giving
the operators the alternative Of sign
ing the company's schedules or leav-
ing work.
Claims Men Have Weakened.
General Manager Horn Of the North
ern Pacific stated tonight that reports
coming in from the supeFintendents
so far indicated that about Is per cent
of them were signing the schedules.
The percentage on the Great Northern
according to General Manager Slade
was slightly under 70 at 1890 tonight.
Substitutions are being made where
ever possible for the men to go out,
and by relaying on the telephone aux
iliary service in few districts the
roads so far have avoided interference
with traffic.
Strike Is Ordered.
President Perham, Of the railway tel
egraphers, at II o'clock. flashed the
following by a pre-arranged code from
Hotel Foley. st. Paul:
Call the boys OUT
This means that a general strike OF
the LOO operators on both the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific has
been declared. kilograms were received
every minute by President Perham this
evening urging strike order, but it
| was delayed in hopes that word would
be received from the east from Howard
Elliott and President Hill of the Great
Northern. Hourly conferences were
held during the evening and at II
o'clock President Perham flashed the
! order over the wires.
Predicts a Tteup.
"By tomorrow noOn,' said Mr.. Per-
| ham, '95 per cent Of the operators will
be out on q strike and total tie-up Of
at the bunch Of telegrams," Mr.. Perham
pointed to bundle Of over 100. Nearly
every division on the two systems are
represented and they indicate that the
operators are standing by the grievance
committee to a man. Some of the tele-
grams stated that stations have been
| closed up and block systems had to be
abandoned.
1.-The contention that the officials make
that 80 per cent Of the operators have
signed the schedule is entirely false. In
that pack Of kilograms it Is shown con-
clusively that the officials have been
turned down at every point by The
operators and referred -toet the committee"

BURRo AS GUIDE ::
ON M0JAVK DESERT.
Life Of Traveller Saved by One Of Keen
Scented Tribe, In the West.

From the Chicago Chronicles:
The burro veritable ship of the
Western desert. will live longer yith.
out water and scent 1T further than
any other known animal except the
camel. As an example of the keen scent
of the burro for water, Arthur J. Burdlck
relates, in 1.-The Mystic Mid-Region," the
experiences Of two prospectors named
Peterson and Kelley. A few years ago
they attempted to cross the great Majove
Desert on foot. with burro to carry
their supplies.
In passing from oasis to oaids they lost
their way and the supply of water be-
came exhausted. To be lost In the des-
ert is a terrible thing. and the anxiety
coupled with torturing thirst and the in
tense heat. drove Peterson insane. He
left his companion and fed shrieking
across the plain. Kelley pioketed the
burro and went after Peterson to bring
him back. but was unable to overtake
him.
He returned to the trail to find that the
burro had broken his tether and was
moving across the desert at a leisurely
pace. He followed, but the animal was
50 far in the lead and he was 50 ex-
hausted from his efforts to overtake
Peterson, that he could not come up ia
the burro.
Might came upon him and It soon be-
came 30 dark that he could not distin-
guish the burro. He had to follow It by
the footprints IN the sand. When 1t be-
came too dark to distinguish the foot
prints Kelley still staggered on in shear
desperation.
BY and by his heart gave great throb.
Before him, outlined against the sky. and
seemingly suspended in the air, was a
form which he knew to be either the
burro or an apparation. He hurried for
ward. and 10! standing upon sharp
rise Of ground and facing him was his
lost burro! The burro seemed to be
awaiting him. for when he came up the
animal turned and led the way down the
incline to a spring OF live water.

FOOD FOR A DOG IN SUMMER.

from Out1nR:
For hundred years all Of us have
been told. and most Of us have be-
lieved, that corn bread is not good
food for dogs. 1t has been called "heat-
Ing" Authorities have told us that it
had too much Of tendency to create
fat and not enough in the direction Of
bone and muscle. Recently, however,
one of the great bench show handlers
and judges has stated publicly that at
ter trying all sorts Of combinations
he found that he could get his dogs
into better condition with corn bread
than with any other food.
About the same time an old foxhound
man told me that he had observed
closely for many years, and that his
dogs had always more strength, vim
and endurance when he fed them on
corn bread. He said that oatmeal, man.
ufactured biscuit and a mixture of
meat and vegetables were all inferior
in results. He feeds his mature dogs
on meat twice q week and on corn
bread the rest Of the time. His puppies
are raised almost entirely on corn mush
and milk
