chief stipulation for peace being that
Great Britain should guarantee the in

minor territorial cessions, but no
ports, this latter being left for future
negotiations. Another power having
South African possessions may be taken
into the negotiations. If he fails here

kaiser decline the proposals, and fail

plans are commercial, railway and min

Transvaal and assistance against Brit
ish competition in South Africa.

Office of Supt. Huntington Re-
moved to 0skaloosa.

An important change in the Iowa
Central, and one that will be hailed
with pleasure by his many friends in
Oskaloosa is the removal of the
headquarters of Supt. Huntington to
this city.
Mr.. Day, the new general manager
of the road is quoted by the Times
Republican as giving the following
reasons for the change: "a
''The object % moving the general
sIperintendent's Office to !Oskaloosa
is to place the superintendent where
his tools are, in other words, to put
him whore he can be near his train
master and dispatchers, who should
be constantly in working touch with
him. a4&s@
"That is not the only reason, how
ever, for we have unoccupied space
in 0skaloosa, and need the room
badly here for the force of Chief En-
gineer II. G.. Kelly, which is to be
located here in the Office room now
occupied by the general superintend-
emit. We will have a larger force of
people here than the superintendent
office carries away, so Marshalltown
will not be at all affected by the
change. / can not tell you Mr..
Kelly's organization as yet and /
doubt whether he himself could at
the present time, but his force will
consist of division engineers, chief
clerks, sub clerks, road department
clerks, etc. Mr.. Kelly himself will
be here part of the time" ,..
The change is to be made as quick
ly as possible, but just when is not
known. Mr.. Day said the Office
would be moved tomorrow if it were
possible, but it is not. However, it
will be but short time, probably
within the next few weeks. Just who
the change will effect is not known
as yet. In the superintendent Office
are Harry R. Cammack, chief clerk
his stenographer, Miss Emma Redel;
Miss Matena Nelson, stenographer
to Superintendent Huntington; Miss
Mildred Shears and. Mr.. Ed. Wood,
car accountants; John Ferguson,
clerk; Ralph Speer, timekeeper and
Russell Seig, office boy. Mr.. Cam.
mack will of course, go with Mr.,
Huntington, and it is possible Miss
Shears and Mr.. Speer will accompany
him.
