The last Milwaukee Sunday Sentinel
has the following among it's WATERFOWL
| items:
The appointment Of Albert J. Earling
as assistant superintendent of all the
divisions of the Chicago Milwaukee &
| st. Paul railway east of the Mississippi
river, the position held by the late II. &.
Atkins, is regarded with interest in this
city, where some sixteen years ago he
commenced his railway career. He was
employed in the depot here of the St.
Paul company as operator, and was then
a quiet, unassuming young man, who
had scarcely reached his majority. Be
ginning at the lowest round of the ladder
he has carefully and deservedly assembled

important position. His friends have
every reason for believing that he will be
found the right man in the right place.

by the hired girl was visiting at Mr..
Stoebe's and discovering gun commenc-
ed foosing with it when the weapon dis
charged, the entire load :of buckshot en-
tering the boys side. This melancholy
accident should serve as warning to
people not to keep loaded weapons within
the reach of children.
