BRIDGE WILL SOON
Be READY FOR USE
"sT. PAUL. TRAINS SOON WILL
RUN OVER UNIQUE srRUc.
TURE At MADRID.

1t is expected that the great bridge
over the Des Moinss river which ID
being completed by the st. Paul be-
tween Madrid and Woodward will be
opened to travel about Oct. 4. Accord
ing to the present plans the road-will
send Its first passenger train over the
structure at that time.
The bridge with approaches is more
than mile long and it has the dis
tinction of being the highest double
track railroad bridge In this country.
1t cost 100000 to build.
The STRUCTURE was made necessary
to complete the work Of double track
ing begun by the st. Paul through
Iowa about two years ago. Grades
and curves were eliminated from tho
main line by the new survey and great
fills were closed up. The bridge ID
part of the general scheme to shorten
the line and reduce grades. One ap-
preach to the bridge required I'LL
of ITO feet.
The bridge cuts OF two miles from a
former eight mile stretch and illus
trates the expense which the road en-
countered to get the kinks out Of It's
line through this state. The new bridge
is said to be one Of the greatest pieces
of modern bridge engineering In the
entire world. No speed limit is put on
the structure. 1t Is filed in and bal
lasted like an ordinary piece OF road
bed and SO far as the roadbed itself
is concerned1t will appear no different
to the traveller than any part Of the
main line. ~

WOMEN in MAJORITY.

Des Moines, Sept 25.-There are
more women county superintendent
in Iowa than in any other state Of the
union. Iowa now has sixty-s women
holding this office. In Illinois, there are
only three women in this office. They
were all elected, however, before the
women have had an opportunity to
vote in Illinois. For one reason, so it is
stated, men are seeking these offices in
other states more than women and
that Is that they are more nearly po-
litical In character and the pay is gen
orally better than in Iowa.

When Wood resigned he presented
his successor with the badge con-
tanning the words, Chief of Police,
Pasadena. On making a close in
spection of the badge, which had
long borne a. reputation of being solid
gold, the new chief observed that 1t
was somewhat furnished.
A cleanser was then applied, with
the result that the badge in a few
minutes was a shining nickel plated
star and greatly similar to the other
badges worn by the balance of the
police department.

Repimental Marches

| Each regiemnt of the British army
claims one particular refrain as its
''regimental march"
Most of these tunes are linked up in
some way with the history of the regi-
Bits.
For instance, the removed Ca ira" OF
the West Yorkshire regiment was
adopted during a campaign in France
when the regiment was known as the
Fourteenth foot. During the siege of
Tournay the defenders frequently
played the Ca Ira"
Later, with a touch of dramatic
irony, the besiegers marched to possess
the city to the strains of the same
tune.
These regimental marches are used
especially on review days, and on sew
eral occasions, such as leaving or en-
tering camp or barracks. When most
regimental bands give concerts the
'regimental march" and the national
anthem close the programme.
Perhaps one of the most famous of
all "regimental marches" is 1.-The British
Grenadiers" This belongs to the Gren-
adler guards, Royal engineers, and the
Royal artillery Hearts of Oak" is
the property of the Royal marine light
infantry, while "A Life on the Ocean
Wave" belongs to the naval brigade.
The Scots Greys march to the strains
of THE Garb of Old Gaul," the Scots
guards and many other killed regi-
ments to Highland Laddie,' the Royal
Scots to the famous "Dumbarton's s
Drums" the Scottish Border regiment
to Blue Bonnets Ger the Border" and
the Scottosh Rifles to the well known
Tilt of within Mile o. Edinboro'
Toon." The "regimental march" of the
Kings Royal Rifles is THE Hunts
mans Chorus" and of the East Sur
reys "a Southerly Wind and Cloudy
Sky"
The Welsh Fusiliers and the South
Wales Borderers use the spirited Men
of Harlech" as their "regimental
march,
Many of the famour Irish national
airs have been taken by the Irish reg
iments. The Connaught Rangers ap-
propriate the music of "St. Patrick s
Day." while the Royal Irish regiment
uses Garry owen"
God Bless the Prince of Wales" be-
longs to several regiments, including
the Third Dragon guards and Twelfth
Lancers.
The Suffolks march to the music of
speed the Plough" and the. Derby
shire regiment to the young May
Moon"
