Bavarian railroad trains are to be
equipped with wireless telegraphy
Ike ocean steamers. says the Cleye-
land Plain Dealer The ministry of
state railways has decided to- install
Marconigraphy ON some OF its trains
to transmit orders and signals. There
have been extensive experiments of
short distance wireless teiegraphy
made on Bayarian roads near Munich,
which are said To have been success
full While the minister of railroads
was on one of the trains a message
was transmitted 10 him from Berlin.
200 miles distant The receiver was
fitted on the locomotive of the train
The apparatus to be installed Will
permit not only OF the receipt of mes
sages while the train is in motion,
but also of the sending of dispatches
The engineer is notified that a mes
sage is to be sent by a bell signal,
and few seconds later the signs
appear on a paper band. In stead
of a mast for sending and receiving,
which is obviously impossible on a
railroad, a number of sensitive points
were fixed on the locomotive.

Working Conditions.

st. Paul, Sept 8.-The grievance
committees of the various railway EN-.
ployes' organizations have been treat
Ing with the officials of the Great
Northern. Northern Pacific and other
roads entering the Twin Cities. In
succession the carmen's, boilermak-

In general the demands made by
the employees upon the railroads have
been better working conditions, with
an increase in wages. It Is said that
the demands have been acceded to.
The machinists were ready to strike
at moments notice unless they
shared the good fortune of the other
organizations. On Monday next the
committees of the operators on the
Omaha and Chicago Great Western
roads will convene and it is expected
that small increase will be granted
them. Operators in the East have
been accorded Increases and those

Tomorrow Sunday Declared Dry
Day by City Council ALI Water
Halt Force.
REPLENlSHlNG OF SUPPLY IN
BIG TANK. REASON FOR ACTION
Water Exhausted and Pump Cannot
Catch Up. Leaving No Proper
Fire Protection.

The lid will be clapped on the
lawn sprinkler tomorrow. By
order of the water committee of
the city council all playing of the
hose upon the grass must stop
for a period, and Sunday has
been chosen as the 'dry" day.
Not only this, but water all
over lhe city will be reduced to
one-half force all day long, and
those who would draw, must use
a little more time in the drawing
The reason for the mandate is
that the water supply in the big
tank is exhausted and it is
necessary t, take some measures
to replenish it. Reckless waste
of water by those who have let
their sprinklers run all night,
com bined with the unusually
large consumption caused by the
hot weather, has drained the
surplus supply of water in the
tank; and try as it will, the big
engine which every minute
forces three barrels Of liquid
into the tank, cannot catch up
and overcome the handicap. AS
much water as can be pumped
is being used daily, and the tank
remains empty.
This state of affairs is danger
Gus. It leaves the city without a
water supply, should there be a
fire, and the water com mittee,
after studying the problem,
decided that the only way to
cltch up and get the tank in
shape once more is to reduce the
supply furnished the city to one
half for day, and cut out
sprlnkling entirely for twenty
four hours.

"Schools are opening very
nicely, indeed. Teachers and
pupils take hold just as though
vacation had not occurred.
IA new picture, costing $26,
has been placed in the halls,
secured by the efforts of last
years teachers and the friends
of the schools. Thanks to Mrs.
r. B. Foster for a liberal donation
to the same.
"Once more we urge parents
and friends of the schools to
drop in and see for yourselves
how your schools are conducted
Should your children sound a
discordant note, come and see
US If they have any word OF
praise, you add another by
coming and seeing us."
