man who is not fairly we'll educated
and the tests applicants for such posi-
ton must undergo are much severer
than formerly. Physically men who
would be firemen must be nearly per-
feet. No n under five feet, seyen
inches nor over six feet, two inches
can hope to get the job. Weight also
is considered, the minimum in this
respect being 40 pounds, with 30
as the maximum.
The intellectual requirements are
that a man must be able to add a col
umn of five numbers, of five figures
each; to substract any number of
four figures from a greater number;
to multiply any number of six figures
by any number of two figures; to ex-
press a series of numbers containing
from one to six figures in written
words; to fill out a report of a sup
posititious accident; to write a letter
applying for a position as fireman,
giving reasons for his desre to engage
in railroad work, and his early oppor-
tunities for an education.
But this is not all. The candidate
for a position as feeder Of a furnace
must also possess ar elementary
knowledge of history, for he is asked
questions in this branch of learning,
such as "Who discovered American"
"How many wars has the United
! States engaged in?" During what
years was the civil var fought?" who
was the president during that period?"
who is the president now, and by
what party was he elected?"
Other requirements are provided UNI
der the new rule. If a man has not
had any previous experiences he can
not get a position if he is under 81
years of age or over %. Before he
can hope to be promoted to be an en-
| gineer he must have been a fireman
at least two-and-one-half years and
has fired an engine a total of 1875 900
miles. By the adoption of this sys-
tenn OF requirements the company is
satisfied that it will eventually have
a body of engineers whose equal is
not to be found in this or any other
country, unless it be on some other
J road establishing a similar system.

WITH THE NURSE
DR.. LANSING OF BUFFALO AND
MRS RUBRlDGE RAN AWAY.
Case Commenced, Tried and Finished
in a Nebraska Court in
an Hour.

Sioux City, Iowa, April 12:-Mrs.
Sarah E. Lansing of Buffalo, N. Y,
was here today on her way home from
Ponca, Neb., where she secured a di-
vorce from Dr., L. T. Lansing and
$4,000 alimony. The case was COM
menced, tried and finished within an
hour, the doctor making no defense.
They were married IL years ago and
have two children. At the birth of
the latter child, Mrs. Daisy Rubridge
was called in as a nurse and January
IL, 1900, DR.. Lansing and Mrs. Ru-
bridge eloped. They were o%verhauled
by the wife. They were living to-
gether as Mr.. and Mrs. Lavinus
Abrams.
The doctor was placed in Jail on a
statutory charge, but a few weeks
later vas released on the promise to
desert Mrs. Rubridge. He failed to
keep his promise and came west to
Emerson, Neb., where yesterday Mrs.
Lansing found them in the same
house, Mrs. Rubridge being known as
the doctors housekeeper.
Lansing was formerly a prominent
doctor IN Buffalo. The alimony and
payments to the children will be paid
out of an estate he has in the east.
Mrs. Lansing did not care to prosecute
her husband criminally and departed
for the east as Don as she received
her divorce.

The government of the United
States is not the only large employer
of labor that believes in the efficacy
of civil service. The idea underlying
this system of selection of employees
is rapidly being adopted by some of
the larger corporations and in a modi-
fled form is finding application in
many directions and by many con-
Germs.
According to recent reports from the
eastern end the Burlington has adopt

Two Men Arrested on Suspicion Of
Robbing Freight Car.

Two young fellows who gave their
names as William Frye and William
Lillox were gathered in early this
morning on the charge of having
broken into a Northern Pacific freight
a and helping themselves to a pair
of shoes, each. In order to keep them
separate Frye was placed in the oun
ty jail and Lillox in the city lookup.
The men were observed by the
night Waterman of the railroad COM
pany prowling about the yards and
subsequently he discovered that a car
had been entered and boxes of shoes
opened. AS each n Of the two had
on a pair of new shoes it was taken as
tolerably conclusive evidence that
they were the burglars. Lillox, who

"The wedding ring represents the

in past ages, the sold slave was led

every one today knows that a woman,

The dress coal was also included

divided the tails of the long frock
coats, cut away the front, sewed but
tons in the back to hold UP the tails
and use the coat for q hunting jacket.
The funniest thing about this dress
coat folly is the fact that whenever a
gentleman goes to an evening party
in his dress clothes, as soon as he
gets inside the door he meets a man
dressed just like him, who opens the
door for him and helps him off with his
overcoat. Now, why is the servant
dressed in the conventional evening
costume also? Just because he former

dress coat, in all its uses, is merely a
survival of barbarism."

RELICS OF %HARRARlsM.
Professor Starr Classes Wedding
Rings and Dress Coats Together.

Chicago, April 12.-The romantic
ideals of Is goods in a class Of anthro-
pology at the University of Chicago
received a rude shock at the hands of
Professor Frederick Starr yesterday
afternoon. The cynical professor
bluntly declared that the wedding ring
was a relic of barbarism, an absolute
ly useless survival of the culture OF
primitive people. and every young
woman in the class raised her voice in
dissent.

about expired. He is an applicant for
reappointment. Whether he will be
successful or not depends altogether
on how many times he has run up
against the Indian bureaus character
assassins at Washington. He may
not have carried out the departments
suggestion to have Two Moons and
every other male Indian in the Chey-
enne camp Invested of his locks, and
he may have permitted an occasional
Indian dance, and thereby gained the
condemnation Of the tWo-faced-$15 a
week department clerk, but Withal
Major Clifford has served well the
interests of his wards.
The Indians under Major Clifford
are among the most deserving of the
northwestern Indians. They came
north from the Indlan territory about
IS years ago and gave the government
troops which pursued them a lively
chase. When overtaken and forced to
surrender they absolutely refused to
return to the south and were finally
located on their present site through
executive order. Their support since
that time from the government has
been meagre. Their lands are not suit
able for agriculture, and the aid which
they should have had to start them
in live stock has never been given
them by the government. That which
should have been done for the Chey-
ennes years ago is now proposed in
q. bill introduced by Senator Clark in
congress, which provides for an ap-
preparation of $4,000, to be largely
expended in the purchase of breeding
cattle. With that kind of a start the
Cheyennes, who raLk high above their
neighbors, the Crows, in point Of will
ingness to do something to make them
entirely Independent of governmental
support, would soon make a creditable
showing.

was not aware of: the arrest of Frye,
claimed to have bought his shoes from
the latter, while in turn Frye said he
had bought those he wore from some
other man.. The shoes were taken
from them and they were left bare
footed. although an old pair found
near where Frye was arrested are
believed to be his and have been given
to him.
The car entered was forwarded west
shortly after the arrest of the men and
the authorities wired to Livingston to
make al investigation of its contents
when it reaches that place. Pending
returns from there the suspects will
be held.
