The number of tramps regularly on
foot in the United States is set down
at not far from 100000. A large per
centage of these are mere boys under
twenty-one. Prof. Kelly, formerly of
Columbia university, has taken pains
to study the methods used by Euro
pean countries to handle this vagrant
population and makes a strong plea
for the labor colonies system, more
particularly as they have been organ
lied in Switzerland. The Swiss sys-
TEN differs from all others because it
is sub-divided into cOmpulsory-labor
colonies and freelabor colinies,
In this way it undertakes to deal
with the whole subject of help
less indigency. The Swiss colonists
are agricultural and they manage to
pay their expenses annually with a
neat little balance. Inmates of the
forced labor colony are offered trans
fers to the free-labor colony at the
close of their sentence which they
often accept The idea of reformation
is kept constantly in mind, There
is no reason why America cannot
eliminate the tramp as completely as
Belgium, Holland and Switzerland
have succeeded in doing and at the
same time save the country a great
expense. while the effect upon the
tramp is to lift him up and prove his

The prolonged fight started four

legalized saloons in the county,
claimed to have secured the required

Council Bluffs, July 17.-If one can
imagine mass of steel rails weighing
50, 100000 pounds, they can imagine
what the railroad yards of the Union
Pacific in Council Bluffs will look like
within short time. The company has
begun unloading rails here again, and
will not stop until the So, 100000 pounds
have been delivered. There are already
on the ground, 10000 pounds of rails,
and it. is said that no rails will be TAX
en- away until some time after the big
order has been delivered.
Five hundred cars of 100000 capacity
each will be required to handle the
material, it being possible to place only
ITO rails of $50 pounds each on one OF
the cars. The steel is being shipped
from the steel plant at Ensley, Ala,
from which place the Union Pacific
procures the larger part Of its steel
construction.
Travellers passing thru Council
Bluffs often marvel at tho enormous
piles of steel rails to be seen. Every
available spot and Granny that will not
be required for the rails and other
property, will be crammed full with the
100000 tons of coal now in the yards.
From the Union Pacific transfer sta
ton now one may look over the yards
and see for blocks nothing but huge,
symetrical piles of rails, long rails and
short rails-spikes, rods, switches,
frogs and every imaginable metal ar
ticle used in railroad construction.
Altho there has been considerable
talk of the Union Pacific rebuilding it's
yards at this place, it has been said
that the steel now being sent here will
not be used for that purpose. 1t will
be distributed, it is claimed, at various
points along the main line from Kear-
ney to Green River, Wyo,, where ex-
tensive local improvements are to be
made. How such a vast amount Of
material can be utilized in this man
ner is question that puzzles the
minds of habitues of the Union Pacific

Dubuque Saloon Men Find Way to
Stop Gibbs Suit

Dubuque, July 17.-Dubuque saloon
men have practically decided to fight
Gibbs injunction matter by reopening
the cases brought by Archbishop
Keane and DR.. Cady and which re-
suited in modified decree by Judge
Benson, which decree lately was an
nulled. It is the purpose to reopen
the cases and ask that a supplemental
decree be handed down embodying the
mulct law. This will serve, it is said,
as a bar to Gibbs action and save the
penalties accruing to the injunction
decree on a nuisance charge. Dis
cussing the new development, Mayor
Schunk said: 1.-The real menace to
the respectable liquor element in Du-
buque is the travelling pettifogger who,
when he gets real hard up and hungry,
asks for an injunction or two at $25

his wrong doing, an effort is being
made to obtain a pardon for Ralph

ment. Thompson, who was collector

and in a short time the young man
was arrested in Missouri. Upon being
brought back to this city he pleaded
guilty to the charge against him and
was committed to the reformatory.
He also paid back the money that the
had embeZzled. c. S. Byers, of this
city, a brother of Attorney General
Byers. has interested himself in the
matter of pardon for Thompson.
The petition for pardon has been
signed by County Attorney j. ]. Hess,
