NEW SUPERINTENDENT
Pred MertzheImer of Denver Called to
CHEYENNE,

THE LEADER has 1t straight that Fred
Mertzheimer will succeed Robert M. Bax-
ter as superintendent OF the Wyoming
division with headquarters in Cheyenne
and that he will come into Office on an un-
lucky day, next Friday, the 22nd inst.
1t is certain that Mr.. Mertzheimer has
been offered the place and as it is a pro-
motion with a big increase in salary he
can scarcely decline.
Fred M~ertzheimer is a middle aged
man trained from a lad in the railway
business. He Is now a Kansas division
master mechanic with office at Denver.
He has been connected prominently with
motive departments of the Union Pacific
and other Western roads for over ten
years, most Of the time with the Over
land Route. His calling to this office is
much in the line of an experiment.
Heretofore it has been considered wise to
entrust the puzzling Wyoming division
only to men possessing the highest de-
est degree of skill in the handling of
trains and management of operatives. As
there has been no end of trouble with To-
comotives on this division it may be that
the new mar will solve the difficulty. At
any rate he will doubtless be given an OPP
p%ortunity.
The railroad boys feel pretty bad over
Mr.. Bakers departure. He has always
enjoyed the full confidence and respect Of
the emploves

How long will a human body remain
in the earth before it decays until it can
not be distinguished from the surround
ing clays is a question as yet undecided
by the scientists. Much depends upon
the character of the soil and the differ
emit elements of which it is composed.
In countries Astounding in limestone, or,
again, in regions thoroughly saturated
with alkaline waters, human flesh will
retain a natural color and firmness for
an indefinite period of time. The boys
Of Ireland have yielded up bodies fresh
and natural as life that had been buried
in their Shiny depths for centuries. It
Is said to be an historical fact that the
bodies of three Roman soldiers were
found in q peat bog on the Emerald
Isle in the year 1863, A D., fresh and
life like, although they had been buried
almost sixteen centuries.-Exchange.

Over five hundred bottles of this remedy

last week. Charles Smith, a bad cow

property from ~ranchmen. In the search

Smith escaped. He was subsequently
captured at Fort Collins. They say Smith

Wyoming Democrats are causing their

grounds. There is great possibility that
the Democracy will carry the first state

a MIsTAHE.-The real estate
agents of any city make II mistake
when they post the notice "for sale"
on all the property In their city
which they have in their hands.
II Is our opinion they are inlurng
the city. the owners of these lots
were really anxious TO sell it would
be another matter; but in many
OF the cases the real estate agents
have gone TO the owners and asked
TO list their property SO as to get II
good list TO show intending purchas-
ers' Many will let them take their
property in this way, but they are
not particular about selling and so
set a price on their property that is
far above It's real value. A stranger
going to such city would think all
these owners Of property, when such
notices are posted, We're anxious To
sell and get out OF town aud lac
would be averse TO buying property
there. The signs "for salen and
"f0r rent" indicate that the town on
city has obtained a growth la ex.
cess Of what It's surroundings will
support.

NEEDS ATTENTION. Marion
square needs some protecting care
aud attention. 1t looks at present
like the dumping ground of an army
ofrag-pickers;strewn with old papers
and rubbish of every description.
There has been no cleaning up of
grounds since the Fourth of July
celebration and they present "A
terribly untidy appearance. Be
sides this, a reporter of the JOURNAL
is Informed that half the trees there
are dead or nearly so, through the
operations Of numerous insects
working under the bark, and if such
is the case those should be cut down
and removed that the others may
live, and something should be done
to stop the ravages Of the insects.
With little attention Marion
square could be kept pleasant
place for afternoon or evening
rambles or resting places, and it is
hoped the Decorative Union will
take the matter in hand and bring
the necessary pressure to bear on
the authorities fol its care, preserva-
ton and adOrnment.

UNMITIGATED FALsEHooD'-The
Oregonian Of to-day contains All
article in its news columns relating
to the matter of Portland's chief Of
police, in which it says that Chief
Parrish is not going to resign t.
make way for John w. Mimic, but
in the course of the article an asser-
ton is made which is of especial in.
terest here. The reporter Of the
Oregonian quotes, "a man who is on
the inside" as saying among Other
things: "He Joe Sinon) knows
that Jim Lotan will fight him in the
next legislature, and he is already
laying his wires to control it and
prevent the passage of bill taking
the management Of the police de-
partment out of his hands. He is
not dissatisfied with Chief Parrish,
but he thinks he can strengthen his
position by putting in Mimic. Min
to's father, you know, has been
elected to the legislature from Marion
county. He, / am told, has agreed
to deliver the Marion delegation
to Joe, provided bis son is appointed
chief. That is as clear as day. Joe
is very foxy" Knowing that John
Mimic, Sr. was too honest a man for
any such assertion to he true, q
JOURNAL reporter met him and Mr..
NJ had no hesitancy in delaring the
statementan unmitigated falsehood,
without foundation, and he felt
really hurt that the Oregonlan
should give circulation to a charge
50 foreign to the nature of a friend
well kown to 1t. Mr.. Mimic knows
nothing whatever of The Portland
chief Of police matter, has not talked
with even his son John about it and
there has been no pledges asked or
given by anyone that he knows of.
Those who know Mr.. Mimic will
need no assurance that this is true,
aud it might as we'll be added here
that the Oregonian and Portland
rings may rest assured the Marion
county legislative delegation is not
pledgeable 20 any individual
schemes.
