A RUMOR AND DENIAL.
The Report that r.. r.. Cable Would
Succeed to the Presidency Of the
c.. r.. L. & r. Road Denied.

The Chicago Tribune says it is rumored
| that at the next annual meeting of the
Chicago, Rock Island s. Pacific next
month President Hugh Riddle viii resign
| his position, and that Vice President r..
| r. Gable Will be elected in his place
| During the last year or two Mr.. Riddle
| management OF the road, his health i1av-
| ing become seriously impaired, from over
work and this is the reason why he de-
sires to retire from the presidency of the
company. Mr.. Cable will be a worthy
successor to Mr.. Riddle For some years
past lie has had full charge of the affairs
of the Rock Island, and during that time
has achieved an enviable reputation as an
able. efficient and successful manager
The Rock Island under his management
has become one of the best and most pros
porous roads in the country, and its sys-
tenn has been extended to all principal
points in the West and Northwest There
is considerable speculation as TO who viii
become General Manager of the Rock
Island in case Mr.. Gable is advanced to
the Presidency. 1t IS believed that the
place will be given to Mr. A. Kimball. at
present General Superintendent of the
road, or to Mr. E St John. the efficient
General Ticket and Passenger Agent.
Either OF these two gentlemen is regarded
as we'll qualified for the. position, and the
only difficulty in the way of their promo
ton will be the difficulty to find equally
competent men for the positions they now
hold.
The Chicago journal denies the rumor
as follows:
morning paper published a rllmor to
the effect that at the next annual meeting
of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
railway company, Hugh Riddle, the pres
ident of the. company, would resign his
position, to te. succeeded by Vice Presi-
deet r.. r. Cable. The report gave Mr..
Riddles i'll health as a reason for his
resignation. and in its speculations stated
that Mr.. Cables place would either be
filled by Mr.. kimball. the general super
lntendent OF the road, or by Mr.. st. john
the general passenger and ticket agent.
A journal reporter found Mr.. Cable in |
his office this morning, who. when asked |
these reports, said very en-
phatlcally There is no ground what |
ever for the rumor"
Mr. st. John was asked if he knew any |
thing about it. Il don't, he said, "and |
can't even imagine where it originated
Later on Mr. Kimball was found and |
questioned about the matter. After /
reading the report he said with considera-
bic emphasis: Il never heard of any
change talked of, and l don't believe |
there is going to be any

The MINEs-The new mines are the
all absorbing topic of conversation in
this city at present, and numbers of
our citizens announce their determin-
alton to try their fortunes there in
the spring.-The northern country is
already inaugrated. Two men have
already been killed in disputes over
locations, one of them a resident of
Polouse precinct, in this county, nam
ed Campbell. The first corners insist
that the United States mineral laws
allow them to locats twenty acres to a
claim; but in all districts in our ex
perience the size of the location is
fixed by the miners in mass meeting
assembled, when the district is organ
lied and laws established for the gov
eminent of the district, and we ap-
prehend that the same principle will
be enforced in the new camp. A
party left Pierce city last week and
took the trail up Potlatch creek en-
route to the mines, and these, backed
by the miners from the Montana side
of the divide and the determined men
from this and adjoining counties, will
soon straighten out the discord which
now prevails in the camp Nez

Whipping Children.

A parent who cannot govern a child
without whipping it ought to surren-
der the care of that child to some
wiser person. Sportsmen once thought
it necessary to lash their dogs in get
ting them ready for the field. They
now know that whip should never
be used. Horsemen once thought it
was necessary to whip colts to teach
them to start at the word and pull
steadily They know now that an APP
pie is better than a lash and caress
better than blow. If dogs and hors-
es can be educated without punish
ment. what is it in our children that
makes it necessary to slap and pound
them? Have they less intelligence?
Have they colder hearts? Are they
anv lower in the scale of being? We
have heard many people say: eff we
were ever to bring up another child
we would never whip it." They are
wise, but a little too late. Instead of
good, doing. so little for children that
they must be whipped to goodness.
He has done so much for them that
even whipping can't ruin them
that is the rule. But alas, there are
many exceptions to this rule. Many
children are OF such quality that a
blow makes them cowardly, or reck-
less, or deceitful, or permanently III
temper. Whipping makes children
hate their parents. Whipping makes
them lie. Whipping makes home I'M
pleasant-makes boys run away,
makes girls seek happiness anywhere
and anyhow Whipping is barbarQus'
Don't whip. = Patron,
