WAS HIS JONAH DAY.
Conductor Flood Of the Lake Crystal
Omaha Branch Had All Sorts
OF Trouble

Conductor Flood of the Omaha
freight service experienced a Jonah
day" last Thursday, says the Blue
Earth Post. The crew started south
from Lake Crystal on time and at
Garden City the tender left the rails.
This necessitated the calling Of an
other engine to right Il up. Every
thing logged along merrily after that
until the arrival at Blue Earth where
Jonah again manifested himself, and
this time more seriously. In making
a back-up switch the tender again
left the track and the force of a
number OF cars and the engineer be.
ing unable to apply the air, a regu-
Lar bull ditch was made along the
side of the track for almost one hun
dred feet. The tender trucks were
forced into the ground several feet,
and Il Is miraculous the engine was
not turned on its side as the rails
were twisted In all shapes. This
time II was necessary to send the s.
o. s. signal to st. James for the
wrecking crew which arrived at
about 9 o. lock p. m. Most OF the night
was necessary TO right matters.
Some one remarked that this partic.
ular tender had been on the rails
upon eight previous occasions during
the past month. and we advise the
Omaha people to turn II over to the
Rock Island company, They are used
TO such occurrences.

MARRIED MEN BARRED
FROM NATIONAL GUARD
They Are Not Wanted In Case
OF War; Says Adjutant Gen.
eraI Fred B. Wood

The following is a dispatch from
Washington to The Minneapolis
Journal "If the National Guard of
Minnesota is called out for service
in Mexico, have given instructions
to the officers to clear the guard of
married men," said Adjutant Gener-
al Fred B. Wood of Minnesota, here
today.
81 do not believe in married men
going TO war. There is no sickness
so depressing, nor that makes a
man so unfit for service, as home,
sickness. | would rather a man
have anything else than that. and
married men are more inclined to
Inconsistencies than single men
Therefore, don't approve of mar
ried men going to war.
Moreover, married men cannot
afford to 90 TO war. unless they be
officers. 1t is not right for a man
with wife and children, a man
who works on salary. to leave his
home and go into the field for 500
month. His family cannot exist
on that
1T Is right for those who are
commissioned; they make enough
to keep their families, but for enlist
ed men, never"

New York, May 27.-when the
National Federation of Women's
Clubs meets this coming month, the
delegates are going to talk Dress
and a Fashion Strike!" This Is
the announcement of Mrs. Mary /.
Wood, manager of the Federation's
Bureau of Information. Women have
complained that they were unable
to purchase skirts which did not
hinder locomotion, and men have
called their attention to the cos.
tunes which cover all and conceal
nothing" and the clubs will take
up the matter. DIR. Greil, a wo-
man physician, says: There never
was a better time than the pres
ent for women to go on a fashion
strike. Tight skirts are spelling
the naturally fine carriage of the
American women, tight shoes and
tight collars and collars too low
are the basic causes of woman's
i'll health and upset nerves. II We
want other sorts of freedom" con.
cluded the doctor, we've got to
stop being the slaves of style"
Recruiting Stations for Women.
New U. S. A. recruiting stations
have been opened throughout New
York state, with the recruiting OF.
flcers all women. But their BAN
ners are yellow, and the volunteers
they seek are Cor the United suffrage
army, who will battle for victory
In 1915. There will be quick pro-
motions in all districts for privates
who gather i'm scalps or pledge work
and membership. One station has
been opened on a strong political
block, with a Tammany club across
the street and a Republican club
little further down. The men OF
both clubs have all been invited
to call and be converted. The suf-
fragists are hard at work.
Municipal Building Unfinished.
Just at the eve OF discussing plans
for the formal turning over of the
municipal building to the city, the
startling discovery has been made
that from the 26th to the fortieth
floor, inclusive. the structure Is as
far from a condition of completion
as II was a year or two ago.
There Is no concrete on the floors,
and not bit of plaster on the
walls. furthermore. absolutely no
provision has been made by the city
for the letting Of contracts for the
work. When the contracts for the
municipal building were let, they did
not cover the completion of the
building to the fortieth story. Some
uncanny arrangement, inexplicable to
engineers and laymen alike. was
made at the outset, which did not
take into consideration the compile
tion of the ten top floors Of the
new home of the city departments.
Bridge Commissioner Kracke, who
has charge of the building and will
continue in that capacity until 1t
is officially completed. does not
know when the contracts for COM
plotting the building will be adver-
tised for. and of course hasn't the
slightest idea as to when the big
building will be finished. II the
contracts were let today and the
work of completing the upper floors
begun Immediately by. a full force
of workmen, It would take at least
six months to complete It.
