Steam Main Broken.
The accident consisted in the break
ing of one of the big 6-inch steam
mains directly over the battery of boil
ers This main was one which car
ried the steam from the boilers to the
engines operating the dynamos. The
plant is being enlarged to about twice
its present capacity, and workmen
were raising a big truss over the boil
ers. A beam holding up the truss fell,
and broke the steam main. The break
allowed the steam and water to escape
from the boiler, and it was necessary
to draw all of the fires in the battery
of five boilers before the damage could
be repaired. The steam was turned
on again in an hour and So minutes,
which, considering the difficulties Of
the work, was fairly quick repair work.
Fortunately. no one was injured in
any way by the collapse of the struc-
ture or the escape of the steam and

as the most important waterway If
the country, and a stream the improve
ment of which effects the very heart
of the land.
Lauds General Mackenzie.
The most pleasing part of Mr.. Bur
tons talk, however, and in fact the
greater part of what he said, was in
recognition of the service of General
Alexander Mackenzie, chief of the en-
Sineers. Mr.. Burton spoke in the
warmest terms of the high efficiency
of the engineers work, the high stand
ard of honesty and devotion to dutv
which he had developed in the engi-
neers corps, and the fine discipline
maintained in that department. He
spoke particularly of the work on the
Upper Mississippi accomplished under
General Mackenzie's administration
while in charge of the office here AMI
as chief of this branch of the army.
Mr.. Burton likened the Improvement
work on the river to the great St
Paul's cathedral in London, the great
est monument to its designer.

that Mr.. Roosevelt has never felt

II was made apparent that the
atest infant in the galaxy con-
aimed q mocratic majority.
When he was down there killing
wolves bare. .handed with his old
friend, John Abernathy, and
hobnobbing with former rough
riders, he was led to believe that
Oklahoma was Republican. Mis-
led into this belief by the number
of wolves he saw, he signed the
bill admitting the territory as a
state. Now he feels that he has
been imposed upon, that the Ok

The so yard race by ladies
in yesterdays program was
a graceful and interesting
affair, and suggests TO us
nothing unwomanly or to be
frowned upon. Rather, the
taking part by women in
atheletic contests, in a pro-
per way, is to be commen-
ded, as there is added health
and strength and breathing
power to be gained thereby,
aside from the pleasure of
trying themselves out in
comparison with their COM
petitors.
How much wiser and bet
ter was the way in which the
ancients conducted their
games. There the contests
of women were q regular
and beautiful feature of the
day, occasioning not the
slightest remark or thought
OF anything unusual. Now
we bring our girls up to
softness, pretty much, and
the only competition in
which they ever stand be-
fore the public is the rivalry
of " womans looks, " which
is OF no value as concerns
their health. When they
become house drudges with
their lungs telescoped thru
washing dishes and Juggling
the baby about, they get
plenty OF exercise, all right,
but it is the kind that wears
them down instead OF build
ing them up, and they have
no reserve of girlish strength
and healthfulness to draw
upon.
