SUCCEEDS H0LCOMB.
Ed Dickinson Comes Back to His
Old Position
As Assistant General Manager of
the Union Pacific.
His Salary Will be One Thousand
Dollars a Month.
Dickinson Will at Once Enter Upon
His Duties.
Back Again.


OMAHA, April l3.-W. H. Holcomb,
assistant general manager of the Union
Pacific, and until Gould gained control its
vice president, has sent in his resignation
to take effect May Is.
Ed. Dickinson, who was assistant gen.
eral manager until he was peremptorily
dismissed on President Adams order last
year and has since been general superin.
tendent of the Baltimore 4 Ohio, comes
back to the Union Pacific TO take his old
place and succeed Mr.. Holcomb. There
was at the time OF his dismissal much
feeling between him and Mr.. Holcomb. Ibut
Dickinson's friends say this has abated
since they have learned that it was Adams
and not Holcomb who let put Dickinson,
and that the management finally, as an
act Of Justice to Dickinson. paid him his
salary for the remainder OF the year.
Dickinson will receive about $l2. 900 a
year, an increase of about 81, 900 over his
previous salary when in the employ of
the Union Pacific.
President Mayer and General Manager
Odell of the Baltimore & Ohio, say they
regretted to let Dickinson go. but in the
face ofthe advantageous salary and posi-
ton he was offered, they could not urge
him to stay with them.
Mr.. Holcomb takes the turn of affairs
philosophically. and says that it is
natural hat General Manager Clark
should prefer to have men about him
whom he has known.
1t transpires that the prime cause OF
Dickinson's dismissal last year, was that
he failed or refused to make places for
some of the Harvard men, whom Adams
sent out here. Dickinson is expected to
take charge immediately, and those who
hold positions by virtue of appointment
from the Adams administration are get
ting ready to resign throughout the en-
tire line OF the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Holcomb has an offer from an
eastern company.

HOW 1T CAME ABOUT.
Commissioned Keefe's Statement OF
why the HoYt Bill was Allowed.

To the Editor OF THE LEADER
CHEYENNE. April I3.-In your col
umns Of yesterday there appeared a copy
of a law passed by the last Legislature
making 1t unlawful for any officer either
elective or a%ppointive TO be connected
with any contract or contracts so that he
may be called upon to audit his own bills.
1t is true that a bill from Mr.. Hoyt's
drug store came before the county com,
missioners for about s55 for different
articles furnished to the other county
officers. l took the bill and checked II
with DR.. Carey, and asked him if the
bill was not as reasonable as it could be
bought from other druggists, his ex,
perience in the drug business being ex-
t%ensive. He could find no fault with the
bill. The bill laid over until the next
day when DR.. Carey called my attention
to the session laws of 1890 and 1891.
They had been printed but a few days be-
fore our last meeting, and the commits
sioners had not a COPY of them until the
same day. After reading the law |
handed it to the county attorney, Judge
Davidson, to give his opinion to the
board. He did so.
The question came up, could we allow
the bill under the law2 Mr.. Hoyt, | am
sure, was ignorant of the law up to that
time Il know L wasl and l think DR..
Carey was, yet there was an imposition on
Mr.. Hoyt if his bill was not allowed that
| would not do in my own private bus
mess, that is, take a mans goods and
then say "the law is on my side and |
will not pay you" That afternoon DR..
Carey and myself talked the thing over
and decided it would be prudent for us to
allow the bill as the people got the goods
from Mr.. Hoyt, therefore they owed him
that amount. | am satisfied to be placed
on record for paying lawful bills. II the
druggists had started out an Injunction
against the payment Of money when they
found we were not going to observe the
law, | would not blame them, but now it
looks like a personal attack on Mr.. Hoyt,
not by THE LEADER, but by the men in
competition.
1t is, | am satisfied, the intention of the
commissioner to divide the purchase OF
all supplies among the different tax-pay.
ersin business regardless of politics. | an
speaking for myself, and | think the
board will do the same. This mat.
ter could not be settled owing to the alb.
sence of DR.. Carey and the amount OF
business before the board at the last meet
ing. This was the first meeting at which
we had a full board since we organized IN
January. | don't think it is the inten
ton of any taxpayer OF Laramie county
to cheat any person out of what lawfully
belongs to him in honest and Legitimate
business. If it is [ want to know, for il
so | am ready to resign. As far as Mr..
Hoyt running the board, [ don't think
he harbors such a thought. His col

In the vast rainless tracts of central
Australia, where water in the shape of
streams, ponds, wells. etc, is unknown,
and where thousands of gold seekers,

Having never seen Miss Murfree, the
writer is unable to say anything about
her personal appearance, charm of man
ner and all the other things which make
up the budget of personalities in which
the public delights when an author is the
subject treated Somebody described her
as ''the very pink of culture in person and
manners. The same chronicler disposed
of the question of looks in these words
while not positively beautiful, she has
q face that any man would like to look at
more than once. Then he goes on to say
that her features are not regular, her ears
and nose rather diversified; but taken alto
gether her face would attract attention.
When lady is written about in this apol-
ogetic manner one may be tolerably GER
tain that her beauty is not of a striking
order Miss Murfree does not need beauty.
Again the standard of beauty is chang
ing with the intellectual advance
ment of the race. There are those
who can see beauty in the noble but
unhandsome countenance of George Eliot.
Miss Murfrees eyes are described as large,
laughing and given to rejecting every
emotion as accurately as speech. Surely
woman with beautiful and expressive
eyes can never be written down as plain,
since true beauty, which resides in the
soul, Is pictured in the expression, and
without expression there can be no
beauty.-New York Letter.

Tho Horse in Folklore.

The horse is thickly set in folklore. In
parts of Germany horses head may still
be seen over the doors of cattle stalls or
about the house-a custom which sur
wives among ourselves in the luck attach
ing to a horses hoof. This, perhaps, dates
from the custom of our ancestors, men
toned by Tacitus, Of keeping white
horses in sacred groves at the public ex
pense and idle, and forecasting tho
future from their neighings A horses
neighing always presaged victory to a
warrior as his silence presaged defeat,
and the French anticipated disaster at
Agincourt from the fact of their horses
not neighing on the eve Of battle. A
horses hoof under child's pillow is sup
posed to be a preventive of eonvul-
sions; horses teeth arc safeguard
against toothGche, and houses at which
they shy are threatened with calamity. -
