The Burlington has suspended work
\ On Its new track between Mt. Pleasant
4 and Fairfield. About 300 men were
4 thrown out of work on account of the
same, and this accounts for the large

Ottumwa this week. They were here
to get their time checks and mauy
a have been lingering for the reason that

I present, and a few have remained app
i parently for the purpose of enjoying
\ the holidays in the city. The new

the Office of 0. y. Stewart, superintend-
emit of the East Iowa division of the

the position of court reporter to Judge
r.. W. Eichelberger. The appointment
was made necessary by the recent res
ignation, of Frank G. Traverse, who af-
ter ten years service, in that capacity,

of engaging in business for himself.
Mr.. Sander, is young man, d grad
\ uate of the Ottumwa business college,
and one of the most capable men in his
/, profession in the second judicial dis
trict. The splendid training which he

the line of accuracy for the work
: which he will now assume. He will be-
gin his new duties at the beginning of
z the January term, which convenes at
Albia, Jan. s. Thus far Mr.. Sanders
successor has not been appointed.
