SHORT LINE VACANCY
Much Speculation as to Eccles
Successor.
NAY NAME CAMPBELL
PRESENT TRAFFIC MANAGER OF
o. R. g. N.

Three names were mentioned yeSter-
day in connection with the vacancy to
occur with the resignation Of Traffic
Manager $. W. Eccles of the Oregon
Short Line. They were those of J. a.
Reeves, Thomas Schumacher and
BENJAMIN Campbell The air is full of
rumors and nearly every railroad man
has a theory according to which his
guess is right
There is a growing belief that the Of
flee Of traffic manager may be abol-
ished. but it can not be substantiated at
any of the local offices. In this case, a
general freight agent would doubtless
be appointed and in this way the de-
partment could be operated on about
the same plan as it has heretofore.
The many friends Of J. A. Reeves de
clare he is booked for the position of
general freight agent and that no more
hitting appointment could be made is
the belief Of those who know him best
Mr.. Reeves is at present assistant gen.
eral freight agent and in that capacity
has been Mr.. Eccles' right-hand man.
May Select Campben.
BENJAMIN Campbell is traffic manager
of the Oregon Railway q Navigation
company and the fact that he IS coming
to salt Lake within the next two or three
days is regarded with significance. The
position of traffic manager for the
Short Line is no greater than the one
now held by Mr. Campbell. Should Mr.
Campbell be the man, there is still a
prospect that a general freight agent
would be named.
Mr. Schumacher is an cid and
valued employee of the Union Pacific.
He is at present general agent for the
road at san Francisco Many believe
the appointment Of traffic manager may
go TO him.
Mr.. Eccles, the retiring official, did
not stay around salt Lake yesterday
after the news began to circulate. With
"A desire TO see Idaho once more at least
before his departure he bounced upon
the suggestion of Farmer" Burley and
accompanied by that official and Cen
eral superintendent Calvin, went north
The three officials were i'll Market Lake
yesterday. The trip is one Of pleasure

Still he believed the ore to be there,
but he recognized the utter futility on
his part Of trying further to get at it.
Lonely and out of spirits, just at sun
set he stood at the door of his cabin
looking for the last time over the
scene of his useless efforts, when down
the winding trail came a stranger
astride of a broncho. Taking in the sit
uation at glance, the man refined in
his cayuse and called out to the lonely

THE JUDGES ADVICE.
Given to . Man Who Wavered De-
tween Religion and Politics.


A we'll known western representa-.
tive IN congress, pleading an engage
ment, left a small group Of takers In
an up town hotel lobby, and an elderly
man, whom he had introduced to the
party, made bold to tell a story about
the departed.
II have known him." he said, lever
since he was a boy, and when he came
out of college he was undecided wheth-
er to become a lawyer and politician or
60 to n theological seminary and be-
come a clergyman. He was fond Of
politics and thought that with little
law and more religion on the side he
might become a great moral reformer.
You know that's the way most all very
young men feel when they undertake
politics for the first time
However. before he had had time to
determine finally what he would do,
his friends came after him to run for
the legislature. as he had the availa-
bility and pretty fair amount of cash.
This brought him face to face with
the question he had been much dis
turbed over. and he went to Judge
Blank. veteran in politics and man
of the highest character, for assistance
In solving the problem. He stated his
case In full to the judge, and the grand
Old man put his hand on the young
mans shoulder.
"'My boy he said, as only he could
say it. it can't be politics and religion.
1t must be one or the other. You can't
tit yourself for heaven and for the leg
lslature at the same time, and there's

II Alaska Growing W.rmers


Prospective visitors and gold seekers
In the Klondike region may extract
some comfort from the discovery, made
by the Hartman Alaska expedition,
that most Of the glaciers which abound
In that territory are receding. The
fact Is an indication that the average
weather there is growing warmer. II
1t were growing colder the glaciers
would be advancing. while If 1t were
about the same one year with another
they would maintain the same general
position. neither creeping nearer to the
sea nor melting away from their termi-
nal moraines. The rate Of glacial re-
cession Is so slow. however. that fur
overcoats and warm sleeping bags are
likely to remain as part Of the neces-
sary equipment Of Alaskan travel for
some years to come.-Leslle's Weekly.

Christening Florida.

As to why Ponce de Leon gave the
name Florida to the territory now
known by that name, the Florida
Farmer and Fruit Grower quotes from
an old book published In 1763! "Gave
It the name Of Florida because 1t was
first seen In Easter. called Pasqua de
flores In the language Of his country,
or as Herrera alleges. because 1t was
covered with flowers and the most
beautiful blossoms" And The Farm
er adds: "Those who have seen the
Easter season In Merida and the
wealth of flowers which still com.
memorate and adorn its return can
well believe that both these reasons in
fuenced the giving of its name."

AN ATTEMPT AT ASSAULT ON
COL MAXWELL OF CHARLOTTE
Just After Midnight Negro Threatens Him
With Bludgeon.

This morning, shortly before 1880 while
Col. w. c. Maxwell, of Charlotte, was
walking along near the front of the
county court house on Fayetteville street,
he was approached by negro, who raised
a bludgeon and came on as If to strike.
Col Maxwell had his walking cane with
him and swung it back to strike his as
sailant, when another negro rushed for
ward and caught hold of the first, calling
at the same time for the police. His
rush against Col. Maxwell's assailant
had thrown him to the ground, but the
man jumped up and ran off.
A number of gentlemen and the police
were soon on the spot and enquiry re-
vealed that the would be assailant was
a negro, Charley Taylor, who has been
working for telegraph and telephone
companies lie is said to have been
drinking. The negro who stopped him,
and who asked Col. Maxwell not to strike,
is Charles White, whose action is to be
commended
1t is probable that the affair will be in
vestigated before Mayor Powell this
morning when Charles Taylor will be
called to account The officers had not
been able to find him up to one o'clock,
but say they will have him in time for
court this morning.

ALL THE MEN RECOVERING.
Their Illness Believed to be Due to Ptomaine
Poisoning
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 5.-The two hundred
and twenty-six enlisted men of the Tween
ty-seventh infantry, stationed at Fort Nc
Pherson who are in the post hospital on
account of illness caused, presumably by
ptomaine poisoning, were reported better
today and it is believed all will recover.
OF the 416 men enrolled in Companies
A, B, C and ID only 1870 were on duty. The
physicians say the sickness was caused by
ptoInaine poison in the food served Tues
day evening The cooks say nothing was
prepared and left standing over night for
breakfast and attribute the trouble to the
ice. The cooks also claim that no
canned goods for six months have been
served for breakfast.
Colonel French made the following
statement to the Associated Press:
"a complete investigation of the pois-
oning of the enlisted men has been made
by the post surgeon and myself. 1t is
impossible to state positively what caused
the illness of the men. The mess halls
have been regularly inspected and moth
ing has been found that could have pro-
duced poisoning. All the men are inn
proving and will be able for duty in few
days"

THE DuNPHY BILL WINS.
Salary Question Settled by National Associa-
ton of Letter Carriers.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Chattanooga, Tenn. September 81
National Association of Letter Carriers
today concluded the salary question.
Two motions were up for consideration.
The larger cities desired the convention
TO endorse the Dunphy Bill now pending
before Congress which provides that in
first class cities the pay shall be $1,000
per year and in the second class cities
1000. The second proposition was what
is known as the Equalization Bill which
equalized the pay of the carriers all over
the country at $1,000. The delegates
from the first class cities fought the
Equalization Bill on account of the fact
that it did not entertain a raise of their
pay. The vote stood, for the endorse
ment of the Dunphy Bill, SIS; against,
4S9. sass.
The National President of the Letter
Carriers Mutual Benefit Association
made the annual report for the M. B. A.,
this morning. During the year ending
July LIST, 1901, $40 1868 was paid in ben
efits. The total benefits paid since the
origin of the association in 1881 is $685.
