AIR BRAKES. MORE HOT AIRo PUMPED INTO THE COMMUNITY
 BY TASTY PAPERS. RUSSELL HARDlNG'S VISIT Says He Heard About His Res ignation Through the
 Public Print.

General t. anager Russell Harding, F. H. Britton, general superintend- ent, W. c. Watrous, superintendent of transportation and R. Fl. Bow ron, su perintendcnt, of the St. Louis South western Cotton Belt Rail- way, were New Year visitors in this city. This popular lot of officials visited friends and looked after the company B interests generally while here.
 For the past few weeks it has been noised about in railroad circles that MT. Harding would soon resign to accept the position as general mana ger of the Missouri Pacific Railway, and many '.old heads at the busi- ness were inclined ito believe in the truthfulness of the report.
 A Graphic reporter soon found Mir. Harding and upon being questioned about the reporG he said that all the information possessed by him re- garding the matter, was that ob- served III the public prints, emanat- ing from St. Paul tMinn.) paper, originally. and that there was no foundation for such reports.
 The rumof is to the effect that Mr. Harding would succeed General Manager W. B. Doddridge, who, it is said, is soon to be promoted to the second yiee-presidency of the Missouri Pacific road. Notwith- standing the fact that Mir. Harding himself proclaims his ignorance of his reported resignation aLd accep- tance, many of the high officials of different roads of this section stlll claim that the thing will soon occur.
 Mir. Harding left Monday after noon over the Iron Mountain road for St, Louis.

has been an unspeakable blessing to the
poor folk on Molokai. but it has been re-

steamer at Molokai the sick and the well
embrace each other without the least

is the opinion of medical authorities that
the privilege should now be checked if
the government is ever to succeed in
eradicating the disease from Hawaii
Of course the native sentiment is
strongly opposed to change. The Ha-
waiians are exceedingly secretive of the
sick. especially those stricken with lep-
rosy. and it is difficult az best for the au-
thorities to trace and segregate developed
cases. 1t is believed that under the new
government it will be possible gently to
check the privileges which permit the
lepers to come in contact with their Wis
tors. and already propaganda has start
