PUT up A JOB.
Women Give Men a Lesson in
Practical Politics.
Spring Surprise by Organiza-
tiOn to Defeat Snattinger.

One of the smoothest political schemes
of the season was sprung today in the
Third ward. The women are making
a tremendous still hunt against Coun-
Gilman NJ. Snattinger, and are bringing
hundreds of voters to the polls instruct
ed to write in the name of @. V. Wolf
as candidate for the office.
In each of the three precincts of the
ward, women were on hand en- masse
this morning when the polls opened,
and organized the polls with practically
were completely off their guard, and
no effort was made to prevent the coup
of the women voters.
In the first precincr,at 931 Kansas ave
nue., Mr.. Wolf himself is the supervisor.
The judges are Mr.. Lytle and Mr..
Evans. The clerks are Mrs. Stout and
Mrs. Sinel.
In the second precinct, at 507 West
Tenth, Frank P. Lindsey is supervisor.
The judges are Mrs. A. H. Horton and
Rev. M. F. McKirahan.
In the third precinct, Fred NJ. Ware
is supervisor. Mr.. Johnson and Rev.
Mr.. Irelan are judges. Spencer Hall and
Johnson Patterson are clerks.
At each of the voting places, a corps
of women ward workers are in attend
ance. Carriages by the dozen are busy
bringing in the anti-Snattinger votes
The whole machinery of the law and
order league is in operation to beat Mr..
Snattinger.
At 2:30 this afternoon, the total num-
Der of votes cast in the various pre-
cincts was as follows: First, 100: sec
ond, 1870: third, 100.
1t was almost noon today before the
Snattinger people woke up to find the
rebels in command of the situation
Instantly they commenced to hire car
riages and start the opposition to the
landslide. Whether or not their efforts
are too late remains to be seem In the
second precinct the Wolf forces are
working six carriages, and have COM
plete control of the situation, Nearly all
the vote cast up to 2:30 was claimed by
the Wolf faction.
In the west precinct of the ward, the
third precinct, there is a large negro
vote being cast and indications are that
Mr.. Snattinger is holding his own
The first precinct is about equally di-
vided.
1t is probable that the Wolf vote
will be in early. Owing to the COM
plete surprise, the Snattinger forces will
have to rely on getting their support to-
gether this afternoon, and rushing it
to the polls before they close at o'clock
c. V. Wolf, who has suddenly found
himself a promising candidate for the
council, said this afternoon to a report
er for the State Journal:
This is all a surprise to me. I did not
know what was coming did not know
till came down to the polls this morning.
1t would be joke, wouldn't it, if should
win out?'
There was some rumor that Herbert
Hackney was being voted for by the wo-
men. but this is probably a mistake Mr..
votes are being cast for Mr.. Hackney.
Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, to whom is
capture the Third ward, says that Mr..
Wolf is a candidate and that she has not
Mrs. McCarter is the most active worker
at the Third precinct voting place.

HID MONEY IN BOXES.
After Their Death Search Revealed
$4,000 in Hiding Places.

Tamaroa, Ill, March 5.-A rich find
has been made on the premises recently
occupied by the Froelich Bros. as se-
loon and confectionery. Allen, the SEN
ior member of the firm, died about two
months ago, and Charles, the junior
member, died last Friday. They had
been here more than 20 years and had
done a good business. They put little
faith in banks and it was suspected that
money was hidden on the premises
Since the death of the junior member a
search was made and resulted in the
finding of a large amount.
Frank Sanford, a half-brother, and
another citizen of this place found
stored in an old trunk under the cour-
ter four tin boxes and two large cans
filed with money, one can with gold
and one with paper money, while four
boxes of the size usually employed for
holding valuable papers were filled with
paper bills of large denominations. The
F'rolich brothers lived the lives of
misers, and this was their savings of
many years. Their father died more
than 20 years ago and it is supposed he
left them a small fortune. The total
find as reported to the judge of the pro-
bate court yesterday is almost $1,000.

TO CUT 1T SHORT.
Details of Coronation Are Being
Settled by the King.

New York, March "Details of the
coronation are gradually coming up for
the royal decision, says the London cor
respondent of the Tribune, and nearly
all the essential points will be decided
before the departure of the king for
Paris and the Riviera Great efforts
have been made to shorten the service
at Westminster Abbey. If the ecclesi-
astical authorities We're allowed to have
their way the service would occupy five
or six hours, with an official require
ment that the spectators should be in
their places an hour or two in advance.
The litany will certainly be dropped
and the musical portion of the service
will probably be curtailed.
Other changes are proposed, but there
is a tendency to magnify the import
ance of every detail. The Abbey service
and the royal drive through the metrop
oils are the only fixtures. The day for
the naval review has not been an
nounced, nor that of the gala night at
Covent Garden, nor the days functions
at the Buckingham palace. The garden
party at Hatfield may occur on. the Sat
urday after the coronation service.

provement, especially in Illuminating oil
and "copper".
The only item of Importance in the
list of manufactures exported which
still shows a reduction is that of iron
and steel, which falls in January about
a million and a half dollars below the
figures of January, 1901, being in Jaau-
airy. 1902, $685. 95s. against $9,610,552 in
January, 1901, and $10,21S.62s in January.

ports of iron and steel manufactures
We're valued at $57, 290, 12S, against $IS.-
616,46 for the z months ending with
January, 1901, and SOC, 5O4611 for the cor
responding months of the fiscal year
1900
The continued activity of the Ameri-
can manufacturer, which is shown in
the steady outward movement of ali
manufactures except in the one class
above noted, is further illustrated by a
remarkable increase in the importations
of manufacturers materials. They show
in the single month of January an in
crease of seven and half million dol
lars, and in the seven months ending
with January an increase of so million
dollars compared with the correspond
ing periods of the preceding fiscal
year. The total. increase in importa-
tons during the seven months ending
with January is 81 million dollars. of
which go million dollars is in manuf4lc-
turers' materials.

The business situation is excellent in
many respects, says Henry Clews' FL
nancial Review, and the outlook is for
good spring trade in nearly all parts
of the country, save perhaps in some
portions of the southwest, where short
crops of corn and cotton, together with
recent unfavorable weather. are acting
detrimentally upon business. So far
there is no sign of abatement in the
activity of the iron trade, a number of
furnaces having sold their full capacity
until January, 1903. The dry goods trade
is also in excellent condition, cotton
goods being in small supply and good
demand at advancing prices. In the in
dustrial world there are few, if any,
signs of overproduction. Two obstacles
TO a bull market exist just now which
cannot be overlooked. viz, the none
tary situation and the indisposition of
the public to enter as buyers. Bank
reserves are unusually low. while loans
are unprecedentedly high; factors not
very productive to bullish operations,
especially as foreign selling of securities
is forcing gold exports, and the periodic
stringency incidental to April settle
mentS is close at hand.

REVIVAL OF EXPORT TRADE.

The export figures for the month of
January ana the seven months ending
with January, 1902, just completed by
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, show
an improvement in the outward move
ment of manufactures. In the month of
January 1902, the exports of manufac-
lures amounted to $34, 412, 1892, against
$50. 654.O35 in January. 1901. and are the
largest shown in any January except
1900, when the total was $35, $50, $40
Compared with January. 1901. the fig
ures show a gain of nearly 81, 600 900 in
the exports of manufactures.
For the seven months ending with
January the exports of manufactures are
about thirteen millions less than those
for the corresponding period OF the fis-
cal year 1901. Manufactures for the
month of January show greater evil
denee of activity in the export trade
than any other class of our exports
being the only great class of exports
which shows an increase in january,
1902, over January, 1901.
Agricultural exports in January, 1902
fall millions below those of January
last year, while products of the mines

Aggregate Length of the Railway
Travel of Engineer Sisco.

Engineer l.. SiScO, who has Just been
placed on the pension list of the North
western Railway company probably has
the most remarkable record of any 10
connective engineer in the world. For AZ
consecutive years he was employed as
an engineer on the Northwestern road
and also has the distinction of having
run on pioneer engine No. 1, afterward
called the Bison" Engineer Sisco has
kept an accurate account of the miles
covered, the total figuring up to 1.4e2,-
297 miles. Had he made %, 403 more
miles he would have Travelled far enough:
to have made three trips to the moon.
He has ridden far enough in the cab to
have circumnavigated the globe 261s
times. If men the height of Engineer
SiSco were placed on top each other,
representing the distance covered by
him in an engine, it would require l.,
252. 354, $40.
Taking "a feet as the average length
of a freight car, he would have pulled
a train of 17,76S, 476 cars. Placing the
have pulled 6,533. ESQ pounds Of
freight. At the rate of cents a mile,
he has drawn from the Northwestern
Railway company $56,O91.SS.
Engineer Sisco commenced work on the
Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska road in 1857.
On April Is; 1860, for, the first time he
reer as an sngineer on what vas then
called the CHICAGO Iowa va and hebraska
railway. At that time the line extended
only to Cedar RapIdS ana an, tb %hen SiSeo
the road was only IS miles long. Sisco
was set up on engine No. l. All the To-
comotives were at that time wood burners.
During all these years Engineer Siseo has
never had an accident of any consequence,
and this is one of the most remarkable
phases of his long career as an engineer.
Engineer Siseo was 66 years old last Fri
day. He has been a member of the B. of
L. r. for the last % years. He has worked
under eleven master mechanics. He made
his last run on engine No $50, pulling the
DeS Moines passenger train
Engineer Sisco was placed on the re-
tired list. with a pension January 1, 1902
To a correspondent he stated that he
had lived to see railway which 40 years
ago would have been strewn with wrecks
at a speed of 20 miles an hour improve
until it is a first class double track
from Chicago to Omaha, on which a speed
of 100 miles hour can be made with one
of the modern Northwestern engines and
can be made with absolute safety.
Mr.. Sisco says he was pleased when he
was placed on the retired list with a
pension. although he often has a longing
to again climb into the cab and once
more open the throttle and speed away
over the iron rails.
