The lowest rate possible under ex-
listing laws has been granted by the
railroads, the round trip fare from
Chicago being less than $500, and
from other points in the same ratio.
No rates from west of the Mississippi
have yet been granted, but it is hoped
to secure a substantial reduction from
that territory of which due notice
will be given.
The citizens of Chattanooga have
always given excursionists cordial
welcome and have entertained them
on very reasonable terms, and and we
are assured this occasion will be no
exception. Arrangements will also
be made SO that several days pro-
visions can be taken along, and thus
the chief item of expense will be the
low railroad fare.
The time fixed is the anniversary of
the battle, September IS, 10, 20.
The time limit is to September 80,
with the privilege of extending it to
October 3lst by depositing the ticket
and paying fifty cents additional.
Chattanooga will be the grand
rallying point, whence low-rate ex-
cursions will be run to points of in
terest within five hundred miles.
Stop-overs will be give at all points of
historic interest on the return trip.
1t is the aim to make the cost so
reasonable that the veteran of moder-

Men Wanted for Canal Work.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug S.-The govern
ment wants 500 skilled mechanics for
service on the Panama canal. Henry
A. Smith, employment agent of the
isthmian canal commission, arrived in
Chicago to recruit these men. The
class of men wanted are mechanics,
boilermakers, blacksmiths, locomotive
engiSeers, conduot ,rs and brakemen.

for three weeks to receive applica-
tons, and as the men qualify they
will be furnished transportation and
sent to Panama.

The trip will be of rare educational
value, and teachers should, as far as
possible, avail themselves of it and
advise their pupils to do so. Each

Floods in Indian Territory.

Muskogee, /. t., Aug. Six days Of
rain have damaged crops and inter
rupted railroad travel, the gorged
streams having washed out many
bridges. The Rock Island has lost
seventeen and the Frisco four, one
of the latter being the North Canadian
bridge between here and Sapulpa. The
loss of this bridge will prevent run

loss of life is reported.

TATTOO MARKS NOT POPULAR

Washington, Aug. S.-Enlisted men
in the navy have instituted a move

which was formerly so popular with
sailors. Since the conviction of a
Brooklyn man, through the efforts OF
officers of the humane society, for
mutilating the arms of young boy
by decorating them with India ink de-
signs, tattooers have shown unwilling

mems council has decided to call off
the strike in st. Petersburg. This &C.
ton does not apply to the provinces,
but there is little doubt that the work

example.
The leaders of the non-res olution-
airy parties do not conceal their sat
isfaction over the defeat OF their old
allies of the extreme left, as they
feared that great strike, with wide
spread disorders entailing repressions,
might be used as justification by the
government to postpone the elections
and the assembling of a new parlia
ment. With comparative tranquility
ahead they can hold the government
to its promises.
The real intention OF the govern
ment when it dissolved the lower
house of parliament, as revealed by a
member of the cabinet to the Asso-
ciated Press, shows that Premier

virtually to determination on the
