Loui toisy.) FUNERAL OF THE DINKIES. The last of the faithful old Dinkies, which have been closely identified with the growth and prosperity of East St. Louis, has passed to its well-earned rest. It is fitting that the citizens of East St. Louis be given a last look at the remains of the departed before their cremation, and to afford this opportunity they will be carried in procession through the principal streets of the city on Saturday next, July 19.

Procession will start at the car sheds on Collinsville avenue at 10 a. pass down Collinsville to Broadway, thence to the bridge approach, thence back to Missouri avenue and out to the car crematory at Edgemont. Cremation private, at later date. Eriends of the departed are invited to be present no restrictions as to flowers. The palatial new cars 50 and 51 will act as escort and all city conductors and motormen not on duty are expected to attend in full uniform, with crepe on arms and tears in eyes.

The general offices of the company will be closed during the passage of the procession. The citizens generally are requested not to smile or give way to any form of frivolity during that time. 'Tis hard to see old friends depart; But saddest e'er, we think, is To know we ne 'r shall see again Those venerable Dinkies The Burlington through trains. ST. MINNEAPOLIS.

GSONE. S13S Washington At. TS ABOUT INCREASE Citizens Say Collectors Skip Their Receptacles. DEPARTMENTS EXPLANATION HEALTH OFFICE DECLARES PUBLIC IS PARTLY TO BLAME. Assistant Health Commissioner Says Citizens Should Comply With the Ordinance Provisions and Asserts That the Board of Health Is Doing: All It Can.

Complaints about the collection ot garbage have multiplied since the present spell of excessively hot weather set in. In some sectiins of the city residents complain that the garoage collector declare that the collcto.s come only at such Irregular and Infrequent intervals that It is necessary to go in search of ono of tbe wagons whan garbage is wanted removed. Assistant Health Commissioner Francis admits that complaints agalnit th-i garbage contractor have increased in number recently but he declares that possib.e steps are taken by the hea th derailment to make the garbage collection service as effective as possible. He says every complaint received is at once transmitted to the garbage contractor and a record kept and submitted to the Board of Health. The Excelsior Hauling of which John R.

Butler is president, is the contractor. Mr. Francis says it Is almost Impossible to make the garbage collection service perfect, particularly in excessively hot weather, and he also declares that the fault Is not altogether with tho contractor, but partly with the public. The city ordinance do not specify any definite number of trips which the garbage wagons must make daily to any particular portion of the city. Receptacle Must Be ProvideiL "In a district like De Hodiamont, hardly more than one trip a day can be expected," he says, "owing to -the distance from the reduction works.

In the downtown" districts the wagons can easily make more trips." Mr. Francis calls the attention of persons interested in the subject to -the following provisions of the ordinances: Section 10. lloufteholilers and others who ofTer the fsrbage for removal, shall place their receptacles on their proixrty near the alley, not more than fire feet from the building line and so arranged aa to be aecesilble to the driver of the garbage wagons or carta. If there are not any alleys; or If auch alley are imiasalble for wagons, then the garbage muit be placed In core red water-tight receptacles on tbe sidewalk near the street line. "We find that many complaints arise out of cases wherein persons have not compiled with this provision," said Mr.

Francis. "In cases where there are no alleys a driver looks down a street and seeing no receptacles on the sidewalk does not make that block at all. "In other cases the garbage is placed in baskets and other insecure receptacles that spill a portion of the garbage over the alleys. The contractor's men are required by the ordinance to pick this up. At this season when watermelons are ripe the work of the garbage collectors is increased.

"Complainants must remember, too. that only a certain class of men can be hired to drive garbage wagons. When they get paid off about one-third of them fall to show up for work next day, and the drivers who are substituted are not acquainted with the districts or the places where the garbage is placed. This accounts for some of the complaints. "We hand every complaint over to the contractor at once, and feel that the company tries to remedy It as well as possible.

The board of health looks over the complaints at each meeting. "Complaints of some kind come in all the year around, but they are always heavier at this time of the year." Foresters' League Quincy Excursion. Sunday, July 20. Leave Union Station 7:50 a. via Burlington route.

Agreed to Deliver St. Louis Business to Missourx Pacific, but Officials "Caught On" and Will Divide Evenly.

"No fre transportation to the St. Jo spph convention, unless you are a dele gate." This is the ultimatum served on Demo cratic politicians by the Burlington and Missouri Pacific railroad companies. A rate of 13 has been mad for the round trip to St. Joseph, which is less than one- half of the faro one way. That of Itself is big enough concession.

the railroads believi. But just how such a remarkable Induce ment came to be mr.de is an interesting story. About ten days ago a prominent state official and member of the Jefferson Club called on the greneral passenger and ticket agent of the Burlington railroad. "Tours is the only line," said this offi cial to the railroad man, "running to St Joseph, and you can easily make conces sions for a great organization like the Jef ferson Club." This statement was corrected, the passenger agent calling attention to the fact that the Missouri Pacific was a stron, competitor. "Oh." said the politician, "that's so, too; but, you know, we are not doing business with the Missouri Pacific this year." And then he winked and continued: "You see, the Democrats cannot afford at this time to have It said that they are holding up the railroad companies for passes, but if the Burlington will give us a low rate, I will guarantee that every politician from St.

Louis rides on your road." Cannot Beg for Passes How. Mr. Politician was informed that the Burlington couldn't afford to take snap Judgment even on a rival and above all would not cut the rate without at least aervlng notice on the Missouri Pacific. "Well, that will be all right," said the politician, who, by the way, has a gubernatorial nee in his bonnet, "let the Missouri Pacific cut the rate bue we want the Burlington to get the business." Before leaving he was informed that the matter would be taken up with the s-sourl Pacific officials. A passenger agent of the Burlington was detailed to sea H.

C. Townsend. Mr. Townsend hesitated at first to cut the rate so low as $3, and it was finally agreed to call into the conference Martin L. Clardy, general attorney of the Missouri Pacific and the man who has' succeeded Col.

"Bill" Phelps as chief pass dispenser, and John H. Carroll, who looks fter the Burlington's legislative Interests. Both Mr. Carroll and Mr. Clardy thought It would be a good idea to put in a rate so low that the politicians would not humble themselves by begging transportation.

And so the conference decided to make the rate $3 to St. Joseph. Meantime, the politician above referred to called on General Passenger Agent Townsend. "Mr. Townsend," he said, "if y6u will get this rate for us we will give you all the business.

"I don't care about that," Mr. Townsend is said to have replied; "that will probably have to be split up to accommdate the crowd." Railroads Fooled the Politicians. "But," continued the statesman, "the Missouri Pacific has always been very friendly to us and we want to do something to show our appreciation." About an hour later Mr. Townsend walked into the office of his assistant, II. C.

Payne. "Mr. Payne," he said, "we've got a chance to get all that St. Joe business, but I will bet you 10 to 1 that' the man who made the promise to me has also told the Burlington the same thing. At any rate I think it would be good politics on our part to see the Burlington management." And thus It leaked out that the Jefferson Club's representative had promised to deliver the St.

Louis business to both roads, and now neither road knows which is "it." But to fool Mr. Politician, the railroad officials got together and decided to divide up the St. Joe traffic equally and above all, not to issue any transportation.

VOTE NEARLY UNANIMOUS THE LEADER CLAIMS THERE WAS TREACHERY. Result Is a Victory for the Railways, Although Some Concessions in Wages Will Be Made to the Employes. CHICAGO, July 16. The Association of Railway General Managers, embracing every road which enters Chicago, have issued -the following signed statement: "All of our old men not before on hand for work, reported at tbe freight houses at noon today and were put to work. No conference was held with any committee or otherwise, since Tuesday and no agreement was made with the union or with any committee.

The men simply reported for work and they doubtless expect, and will receive the pay offered July 1, and which the railroad companies have been willing all along to pay." After ten days of strife, the Chicago freight handlers' strike terminated today in an unqualified victory for the railroads. A meeting of the strikers, presided over by President Curran, resulted in an almost unanimous vote to return to work, leaving the wage scale and owier questions for settlement between the men and their respective roads. The Strikers Flock Back. At the conclusion of the meeting the strikers went by the hundreds to tho warehouses to apply for their old positions and the teamsters who have remained out again took up their reins. By noon immense quantities of freight which hart been held back for days was being rushed the railroads, or taken from warehouses and cars.

Where stagnation had rmed commercial activity again reigned. Chicago merchants expressed unbounded relief at the termination of hostilities, but they were scarcely less hap-pv when the men themselves, although the strike i3 estimated to have cost them to say nothing of the trade that ha heen nermanentlv lost to them. The little hall where the meeting of the strikers took place was Jammed to suffocation, and thousands were unable to obtain entrance. It was a brief meeting only long enough for an angry speech by Curran and the vote which followed: "Men." said Curran. "we came out like men: we have acted like men and we should not go back like sheep, but there has been treachery In our camp.

Yesteraay wnen I was about to use the telephone the wire got crossed and I heard one of the members of our executive committee talking wltn rallrop.d manager. He was encouraging the manager to hold out. for ne tola him tnat the strike was almost broken. This is a sample of the faith that has been kept with me. Tne officials of tne truck drivers union have not kept faith, either, and it seems useless to continue the strike further.

Shall we go back and ask for our old Joba?" All Voted to Return. In this simple form the matter was put to a vote and almost Immediately a great chorus of ayes had brought to a peaceful end one of Chicago's most serious and threatening labor situations. It was believed the roads generally will allow trucksters 17 cents an hour and minor concessions granted by the proposition of July 1. The proposition accepted by the men was In efl'ci. the one given to President Curran by the state board of arbitration earlier in the day, although the proposition in Its proper form was not placed before tho men.

The railroad managers, when told of the vcte to return to work, said that wherever possible the old men would be taken back. A small percentage of the new men, however, will be retained for a time, at least. Nowhere was the news of the settlement received with more pleasure than at the warehouses, where thousands of men gathered from other points of the various roads to take the places of strikers, were longing to return to their homes. They had been well Ted and given good sleeping quarters, but the big majority of them, being accustomed to the comfort of their homes, were tired of "being herded." The strike cost parties concerned fully and completely paralyzed the wholesale business of Chicago. 5009 WEDDINGS ANNUALLY Ninety-Nine Thousand Licenses Have Been Issued in St.

Louis Since 1881. The number of marriage licenses issued in St. Louis since the passage of the present law in June. 1881, reached 99.000 Wednesday morning. At the ratio of present increase in the number of licenses issued, the clerical force Is certain that the 100,000 mark will be recorded not later than Thanksgiving Day.
