New. That Creates No surprise.

At the local offices Of the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha railroad the news
published in The Bee yesterday that Off
cials OF that road had decided to expend
large amount of money in improving and
enlarging its facilities at Sioux City, created
no surprise, for the reason that 1t has been
an open secret in official circles for some
time Nothing definite is known now of any
improvements other than the enlargement
and practical rebuilding OF the present shops
in Sioux City. The locomotive shops there
have always looked after the repairing of
! engines running between Omaha and Sioux
| City and on the division north Of Sioux City,
but have not been equipped for doing es-
pecially delicate or intricate work, which
| has had to be sent to ST. Paul. 1t is the in
tention now to provide the new shops with
every facility for doing any kind OF work
| that may be required. Some time ago the
shops at Sioux City were partially destroyed
| by FIRE and rather than make extensive re-
pairs the officials decided to worry along
through this winter and prepare for rebuild
ing the shops next spring. If the general
officials of the Omaha road have in mind any
improvements for the local service nothing
Is known of it. The shops here are small
being designed merely to care for the en-
gines which operate between here and Sioux
City and look after small repairs.
The enlargement Of the present Webster
street depot of the Northwestern, Elkhorn

and train sheds.

A comparison OF the first quarter of the
fiscal year with the same period Of 1898
shows an increase in net earnings Of sS49. 1913.
remarkable thing about this report is that
while September was the big month OF the
Burlingtops history, it was brought about
even when the company was unable TO
handle all OF the business offered it because
Of a shortage in freight cars. With sufficient
freight cars on hand to have handled all
tho business which it could have had it is
interesting to contemplate what the earn
ings for September might have been. A
freight official from the western division OF
the Burlington in Iowa stated this morning
''In my territory alone We were short 5000
cars duriug the month CT September, and at
this time we have /. 900 orders for cars which
We are unable to fill because of the famine.

New York, Dec. 31.-A special from
Washington says: Former Gov. Mer-
riam of Minnesota is said to be slated
to succeed Secretary Hitchcock as am
bassador to Russia. Mr.. Merriam's
friends assert. with every indication Of
assurance. that the incident is closed
between the president and the former
governor, and his name is expected to
80 to the senate soon after the holt
days. Mr.. Merriam is now in Wash
ington and has had several interviews
with the president, but he declines to
affirm or deny the report. Those IA
miliar with Minnesota politics are
aware that the president has more than
passing friendly regard for Mr.. Mer-
rlam, and had he to consult only his
personal desires place in the cabinet
would have been bestowed upon the
former governor. He was also favora-
bly, mentioned in the early stages of
the present administration in connec-
ton with various diplomatic missions
abroad from ambassador to the court
OF st. James down to consul general in
Cuba. President McKinley's wish to
reward his friend was not agreeable to
Senator Davis, but it is believed that
senator Davis, while refusing to be-
come entirely reconciled to Mr.. Mer-
fiam, has SO far curbed his personal
Feelings that he may not antaeonize
the wishes Of the president should the
latter determine to send Mr.. Merriam
to st. Petersburg.

At the age of one hundred and
eleven years the oldest man in Vi
emma" is described as hale and hearty.
and able to enjoy joke and other
good things of life. He was six years
old when Louis XVI. of France was be-
headed, eighteen when Trafalgar was
fought, and fifty when Queen Victoria
began the longest reign in British his
tory. And this is his philosophy Of
life: II never worried and I never
grieved. I worked until I was tired.
and slept in unbroken rest until It
was time to work again. It is those
who sit brooding over their misfor-
tunes who grow old before their time.
and whole nights sorrowins has
never put a copper into any mans
pocket or made misfortune lighter to
bear" Concerning his personal ha-
bits, he sWs, II got drunk twice In nv
life-once through my own fault and
once through the fault Of others; and
I was SO dreadfully i'll afterward that
It was not difficult to keep sober with
that remembrance on my mind" There
are profound truths in his philosophy
watch, If adopted, would physically
benefit every human life.
