HECTOR MLEOD IS MISSING
Well Known Railroad Man Disappears from
His Usual Haunts.
NO REASON KNOWN FOR HIS GOING
CIOses UP His work, Pays His Bills
and Drops out of sight, Leav-
ing Neither Address Nor
Explanation.

Railroad circles are agog over the disap-
pesrance Of Hector e. Mcleod. local con-
tracing agent for the Merchants Dispatch
Transportation company. For reasons
which his employer and his friends are I'M
able to fathom, this railroad man has alb
sented himself since last Saturday, no one
have seen him in Omaha since then.
Mcleod owed not a cent, as far as can be
learned. Furthermore, he was a valuable
man In his position, according to General
Agent Weaver Of the Merchants Dispatch,
and none Of his acquaintances know Of any
troubles in which he was involved. A row
ing disposition, urged on by a discontinued
mind, is assigned as the only possible
cause for his taking French leave.
Saturday Mcleod finished up his days
work, drew his months salary for February,
left everything at his desk done up In the
best of order and left the ofice. He went
to the Arcade hotel, where he had been llv-
ing for two months, paid his bill up to
March 5 and was not seen again. He took
his belongings from the hotel.
No irate creditor has called at the office
for Mcleod and no embarrassment has yet
come to light. He had worked for the COM
pany eighteen years, first at New York City,
then at Albany, then Chicago and came
here three years ago. He had high connec-
lions in the east. a good position here and
was unmarried. He was very popular among
railroad mel and was known as a good
fellow" Thirty FIVE years is his age.

MRS. LEE |. HASSETT MISSING
Husband Unable to Account for Ter
Disappearance in Company
with Her Father.

Mrs. Lee L. Hassett of 1892 Franklin
street left her home at 4:3O yesterday aft
ernoo to drive, as has been her custom. to
South Omaha to bring home her husband,
who is employed there, and no trace Of
her has been found since that time.
When Mr.. Haseett reached home he dis
covered his wife's absence, but paid no par
ticular attention to the fact until a late
hour in the evening. when he began maxi
ing inquiries. He learned that Mrs. Has
that she told a neighbor she was going for
her husband.
Mr.. Hassett then began a search among
all his acquaintances in South Omaha,
without securing any information about his
wife. He reported her disappearance to
the South Omaha police and ut a late hour
to the omaha police.
Mrs. Hassett is 20 years old. When she
left her home yesterday she was dressed
in deep mourning. Her father is s. years
old. Mrs. Hassett drove a bay mare and
what is known as. a half phaeton. with
black body and red running gear. The po-
lice were not given the name of Mrs. Has
sett's father or where he lived, and Mr..
Hassett could not be found afterward to
supply these particulars.
Mr.. Hassett told the police that he feared
the horse had run away and possibly killed
both his wife and her father, but the po-
lice say thai unless she drove out into the
country a runaway could not have oc-
Cured without some report being made Of
II. Mr.. Hassett made no explanation that
would account for his wife's leaving him
without Information as to her whereabouts.

William H. switzer of New York feels
grateful for the good treatment accorded
him by the police Of Omaha and yester-
day Chief Donahue received from him a let
ter requesting the chief to convey his
thanks to the officers. Some time ago
Switzer, who was going east, became Ill

he stated that before being in the station
more than ten minutes he realized that he
was in competent and willing hands. He
desired particularly to express his thanks
to Oficers Wilson, Glover. Story, Baldwin,
Fahey and Vanous, Sergeant Marshall and
Surgeons Borglum and Benawa. The letter
was lengthy and was full of praise for the
entire police department. Switzer re-
manned in charge of the officers for sew

SOME THINGS YOU CAN'T DO.
Seemingly Simple Feats Difficult to
Accomplish.


There are many physical feats apparently
exceedingly simple that the ordinary person
finds is dif1oult or impossible to perform.
For instance. a man cannot rise from a
chair without bending forward or putting
his feet under the chair or outside Of Il.
Many a man will back himself to give an
other a start of fifty yards in a race OF
100, provided the man having the start hops
all the way. But no unner, however, swift,
can give that amount OF start to an ordi-
nary man. For the first Eve yards they go
at practically the same pace.
Therefore the runner. to go ninety-nve
yards while the hopper goes forty-hve,
would have to run more than twice as fast,
and it would be a weak man who could not
hop forty-nve yardslat a pace equal to
twenty seconds for. 100 yards, and that
would mean that the runner. in order to
win, would have to beat all previous
records. boap q
II a man boasts tAat-his penknife is par
ticularly sharp ASH him to cut with one
stroke of the blade one of those yellow rib
bons, mostly silk, which are around bundles
of cigars. In 800 cases out of 1000 the knife
Is not sharp enough to do this. 1t will cut
through all the ribbon except the last
strand, and hat will pull out long, and the
more he tries to cut It the longer 1t will
pull.

Colombia Welcomes Canal.
Colombia welcomes the construction OF
