In the Union Stock Yards the fliim:s were confined to a small area of yardage, including lour hogs sheds. The origin of the lire is In doubt. It is thought probable by the oulcluls of the plant that a waste pile may have combusted spontaneously. Al most immediately alter the alarm the tire hud spread into a solid sheet of (lames that leaped from building to building and from shed to shed, surg Ing up Into a mighty wall of heat tuat I'eemed to defy the efforts of the Are fighters. The wind at the time was blowlug forty miles an hour, and coming from the south, swept the flames In the di rection of the new $80,000 sheep barns of the Union Stock Yards. Kor a few minutes it appeared as n the fire would sweep the whole stock yards district notwithstanding the united ef forts of the city (Ire department and tne firemen of the different packing plants, who turned their efforts to wards keeping the flames within the open area south of the stock: yards. Twenty streams of water were turned on the new barns and the surround ing pens and tse fight was kept up until the wind veered to the east.

IOWA STATE FAIR ONJIDRSDAY Preparations ire Complete for Hawkeye Fall Festival PRISON INQUIRY STARTS SOON State Boara Reaches Decision That No Life Term Prisoner Shall Be Given a Parole Unless for Unfairness at Trial. Des Moines, Aug. 21. Preparations are uow complete for the Iowa state lair, which commences next Thursday, tbe first of the state fairs. If it is representative of all of them this will be a great fair year, for all the Indi cations are that the exhibits and at tendance at the Iowa fair will break tiie records. The s'tock exhibit will be the best ever made. A new machinery building has been erected this year which, when com pleted, will cover five and a half acres. ThiB will put the machinery exhibit on a par with others. For attractions the fair has the Wright brothers In flying machines and some special race features. The raee program and two night shows will commence Saturday. Although Iowa has not had favor able weather the exhibits of grains, grasses and field crops, iks welj as of fruit and dowers, will be excellent. Good crops were grown In some parts of the state and there will be sharp competition between sections. It Is believed that in the last few months the farm conditions have been mate rially improved and now the farmers are ready for fall. Investigation of the Prison. The investigation of the Iowa state prison, which was arranged for by the attorney general some time ago, will be eonimnced very soon. It was impossible for all the men to get away last week. The governor sent mem bers of the state board of health to Fort Madison last week to Inquire especially into the sanitary conditions prevailing and while they did not find that the arrangements were the best, they did find that they were as good ns usual in prisons. No serious com plaint can he made on account of bud ttnnitallon. iu the meantime, also, the attacks upon the warden and govern or and various hoards continue. Paroles Not for Lifers. The decision of the parole board to the effect that It will not recommend release from the prison of life termers unless it Is shown there was some question about the fairness of the trial will prove disappointing to a nuinbei of the life termers, Especially those convicted of murder. The tVey on which this has proceeded in the past wus that the pardoning power of the governor might 1 exercised as an act of ( leniency In certain cases. The loard virtually takes the position that no clemency should ever be shown one convicted of murder In the first ('egree. Express Rate Case Postponed. Judge Mcpherson started on the ex press rate casys, but the hearing was postponed until the 28th, when it will be taken up again. The case comes up at this time on an application of the express companies for a tern no- uty Injunction to supplant the tem porary restraining ordr, and to hold pending a full investigation. Moth sides are prepared to go Into court upon ntlidavlts ami make a showing, but the nvritH of the case cannot bo gone Into for some mo.ithn. More Teachers Now. The rounty superintendent of Polk county has made tlu discovery that there are more teachers In the county than school.! and there will be teach ers to loan to other counties. Some time ago It was announced the exam- nntlons had been made so hard that the schools would be deprived of teachers, but this seems to be not the case. fdra Sale of Road. Judge McPherson has ordered the sale of that portion of tho old New ton and Northwestern railroad that was abandoned last spring. A portion of the road between Newton and Col fax may be taken over by the Inter- urban line from Des Moines, but the remainder will he abandoned and the rails taken up.

Jewett of Eagle Grove Ins contrived a motor road ding, which gives promise of revolutionizing road working. I he motor drngs two steel King road drags, so placed that all the road Is dragged at once. Its speed Is three miles per hour, being designed to make thirty miles of road dragging day's work. The machine requires the service of but one man, whose duty Is to steer and lilt the drag when necessary, the latter operation not requiring the stopping of the drag. twenty horsepower engine propels it, Publicity Bill Is Signed.

NINE AMERICAN FATALITIES. Johnstone Held tho American Endur ance Record Over a Closed Circuit. Badgar Was Wealthy and Had Been Flying Only a Short Time. With the death of St. Croix John Btone ami William It. Badger at Chi cago the toial number who have fallen to death since the aeroplauo has been used by man grows to sixty-eight. Of this number nlue met their end iu the United States. Chicago wus St. CroU Johnstone's home. He wus the son of Dr. Stuart Johnstone of that city and was born there. He became well known as u motorcyclist. Last winter he became Interested In aviation aud went to tbe Rlerlot aviation school in England, where he learned to fly. He returned to this country Inst March and went to Montreal, where he bought an aero plane that bad been left . there by Count de Lesseps. tbe famous French nviutor. Johnstone then sailed with his flying machine to Havana, where he took part In an aviation meet with the flyers of the Moisant troop. On the Fourth of July Johnstone flew at Detroit, and on July 27 he es tnblished an Amerlenn record for en durance over a closed circuit at Mln eola. N. Y. He flew for four hours and two minutes, covering a distance of 105 miles. Johnstone left a widow. William Ralph Dodger was well known In Pittsburg, where he had lived for most of his life. He was a handsome oung man of twenty-five years, with a golden head of hair. His father, who wa u rich oil num. died when the aviator was a child. His mother later was married to John Goettuian.

Ilndger was always nn enthusiast about nil sports. For a number of years be drove n fast automobile. While attending an nvlnrlou meet In Pittsburg last summer he became in terested In the art of flying. lie was unmarried. Bones Stronger Than Oak. The wonderful power of bone struc ture has been tested selentiti.-nlly to show how that hollow bone bearj strain. A very small bone, only one square m'lllineter i.01."5 square inch) in diameter, will hold thirty -Hire1 pounds In suspension without break ing, while a piece of the best oak of the same thickness will hold up only twenty-two pounds. The hone Is therefore half again us strong as the solid oak. thus showing that nature Is economical In the weight given to bones, making them hollow and at the same time makes them stronger thau If they were solid and much heavier. This principle lias been recognized In mechanics, engineers using hollow steel tubes Instead of solid to meet great strain. New York World. Tobacco In Vienna. "They have a way of asking a stranger when he comes to Vleuna," says a letter from that city, " 'Who is the largest, the most reliable, the smallest, the best and the worst dealer In cigars and cigarettes in Vienna?' Of course the stranger does not know the answer, and the native tells blm triumphantly, 'The government.'

RAILWAY TIEUP IN BRITAIN ENDS English Strikes Settled After Men Meet Officials. MEN ARE RETURNING TO WORK Meeting Announces Peace as Situation Seems to Be Most Critical Joint Committee Will Investigate 1907 Conciliation Act. London, Aug. 21. A great wave of relief swept over the country when j me HQiiounemeni was mane iroin uie hoard of trade offices that the railway strike had been settled and that the aien were returning to work. Telegrams quickly were dispatched to all important railway towns bear ing the information and crossed In transit messages to London describ ing the strike riots in Llanelly and smaller towns in the kingdom. The cabinet had been working night and day since the strike was threat ened to arrange a compromise be tween the railway managers and their employees. Most of the credit for the ultimate success of these efforts appears to rest with David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer. who, in his statements to parliament and in an interview with the man agers and the men, worked for concil iation when all other interested par ties seemed to have given It up. A joint committee of five members, composed ol two representatives of the railway companies, two of the men and a non-partisan chairman, will be appointed tomorrow to inves tigate the workings of the concilia tion act of 1907, which the men' claim Is the root of all their grievances. This device overcomes the men's ob jections to a royal commission, which they contend always has been in prac tice a synonym for delay. So far as technical advantage In the compromise goes, it appears to he in thw men's favor, particularly as the managers consent to meet their rep resentatives. The official statement concerning the agreement savs the managers consented to this scheme In viw of certain representations made them by the government, Including a promise of legislation to permit of an increase In railway rates. The men claim victory for unionism on the point of recognition of unions, which wag one of the most vital principles at stake.
