STOCK YARDS BEAUTIFUL.
Chicago Packers Build Lavatorles and
Provide Uniforms for Employees.

From the Chicago News.
Hip, hip, hurrahl The Transformation
of Packngtown is nearly completed. A
touch here and there and Secretary Will
sons dream of a city beautiful at the
stock yards will be realized. Never in the
annals of Chicago has such a rush to
carry out the letter of the law been re-
corded. Work has continued at high pres
sure since the packers undertook to re-
model their plants Day and night shifts
have worked necessarily at the plumbing,
refltting and rebuilding of the numerous
departments at the larger plants and the
demand for men at the yards has been so
great that downtown buildings have ac-
tually suffered for want of labor.
The principal change has taken place In
the sanitary arrangements of the various
plants Modern lavatories have been
erected at enormous cost, while other
conveniences for women and men employ
ed in the industry have been installed
wherever necessary. The Mushrooms at
the Armour plant would do credit to any
large hotel in the country Experts, In
fact are inclined to think that the new
arrangements as worked out at the yards
are superior to anything yet attempted in
Chicago The flooring, walls and parti-
tions are built of a light slate, making
that portion of the building cool and
healthy, while 1t Is easy TO keep clean All
the plants have erected similar places
and the work people, appreciating the
comforts supplied by the packers in this
connecting, are assitsin in keeping
everything in order.
One of the novel rules introduced at
the plants is that of the clean uniform
Every tailor shop In the atty of Chicago
it is declared, has had a share of this
work, and thousands of suits for the men
and slips for the women, in three colors,
have been supplied to the packing houses.
The colors are red, white and blue and
each workman has to change his suit
daily. The man in red clothes officiates
in the killing room. the man In blue
yields the ak and saw in the cutting de-
partments and the man in his immaculate
white linen suit attends to the lighter
duties. where his uniform is not so liable
to smears. All the laundry work is done
on the premises. Special departments
have been erected for this purpose
Other arrangements on par with the
improvements carried out on the sugges-
lions of the government officials have
been inaugurated wherever possible and
1t is claimed by the packers that when
little piggy goes to market In future ne
will find b environments pleasant, clean
and strictly in accordance with the rules
set down in the newly promulgated law.

Alarm clock.

THAT the alarm clock Is a domestic
utility in common use Is readily seen If
one takes a walk along the residential
streets early In the morning. said a
policeman. "They get busy all over town
from daybreak on. There is hardly a
house In which one doesn't ring out its
unwelcome music at some time of the
morning, except perhaps where there is
a sort of a human alarm clock in the
shape of babies. These are certainly the
most effective of all early risers.
Even when one of those intermittent
clocks guaranteed to give yau case of
'jimmies' every morning, gets started
there is some hope-you can press the but
ton and stop it. But when baby gets
it into it's head that 1t is an alarm clock
and goes off into one of those long nerve
strains, well. l have never heard of the
button being found yet. They simply
murder sleep. After considering the pro-
position I believe l would rather endure
the evils of something I know how to
stop

Of fact each and every one of them
found reader and more cordial sup
port on the democratic side of either
house than on the republican side. Not
one Of the measures he names was a
party bill Each and all were strictly
non-partisan. from the rate bill down
to the pure food or naturalization bill.
The impression that the President
seeks to convey Is unfair and unjust.
He knows what the republican opposi-
ton was to the reform bills, and he
should not seek to disguise or excuse
1t.
But the President shines as a dodger
when in a closing paragraph he dis
eusses the tariff. He aims to show that
the tariff Is not creator of trusts and
monopolies, and he intimates that a
general revision of the tariff should
be postponed to the latest possible
moment He writes himself down, in
short, a standpatter. He practically
says the tariff issue should not be
raised in the congressional elections.
He even has the audacity to say that
the tariff has no relation to trusts and
monopolies, when all the country
knows it created and today makes pos
sible nine out of every ten of them.
The tariff issue cannot be pushed
aside by Mr.. Roosevelt. It is coming
to the front every day in stronger form,
and from Massachusetts to Iowa the
republicans themselves are divided
over 1t. 1t will remain an issue until
the manifold robberies of Dingleyism
are eliminated.

GIVES MILLIONS TO MULE.
Judge Awards 1t one-fourth of $751;
100000 Mine.

Spokane (Wash.) Cor. Chicago. Inter-
OCEAN,
That donkey was declared by Judge
Norman Buck of the supreme court of
Idaho to have shared in the discovery
of the 100000 Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine, and thereby secured for Its owner a
one-third interest In this famous prop
erty, was recalled by the death OF o. o.
Peck at his residence In this city last
week.
from the evidence of Witnesses" the
courts opinion reads, this court Is of
the opinion that the Bunker Hill mine was
discovered by Peck's jackass, Phil
o'Rourke and N. s. Kellogg. AS plaintiff
owns the jackass he is entitled to one
third interest In the Bunker Hill claim and
one-fourth interest in the Sullivan
There was much more to the opinion. but
this shows that the learned jurist credit
ed the donkey with full share in the
discovery. Furthermore, Peck thereby OBJ
tanned a title which he subsequently sold
for a fortune that enabled him to spend
the remainder of his days in affluence.
Stranger than any story in the annals
of mining is that of the discovery OF the
famous mine in the heart of the Occur
d'Alene mountains, in Central Idaho. KEEL
logg was prospector, who had been
grubb-staked by Cooper and Peck of this
city. One day he visited the latter and
exhibited a specimen of ore that he had
found in the vicinity of what now con-
stitutes the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine. Peck pronounced the ore worthless
and declined to continue the partnership.
Kellogg fell in with O'Rourke, a Colo
RADIO miner, who pronounced the ore val
liable and joined Kellogg in a second ex-
petition. This time Harry Baer and
Jacob Goetz of Spokane grubstaked the
pair.
The two men CHANGED upon the burro.
which was owned by Peck, but had been
turned out to forage for itself until its
owner had further need of it's services.
Kellogg and O'Rourke impressed it into
service as a pack animal, without notify
ing Peck. Within a month they had dis
covered the greatest mine the Occur
d'Alene has ever revealed. When Peck
discovered that his burro had formed one
of the party he brought suit to have his
interest established and the court sus-
tanned his contention.

Road improvements.

Notwithstanding the rainy summer.
good progress has been made on county
road work" said Road Superintendent J..
Ed Haigler. "Of the 100 miles of high
way in Jefferson county, 400 miles come
under the head of dirt road. Since last
spring my attention has been given chiefly
to the dirt roads, but some repairs have
been made on the macadam roads. About
October we will begin work entirely on
the macadam highways"
