FORMER oTTuMwAN APPOINTED.
chas. Buckley Secures Position in Gov.
eminent Printing Office.

Chas. Buckley, formerly a resident of
Ottumwa, has recently received ar ap-
pointment by the United States Civil
Service commission to a position in the
public printing Office at Washington.
D. c., and it is expected that he will
leave Macon, Mo-, his present place of
residence in a few days for the capital.
The position is a lucrative m from
the start with many opportunities for
advancement. Chas. Buckley is the
son of T. R. Buckley, formerly of this
city, but now of Washington. D. c.,
and is well known to a large number
of friends, who will be glad to learn
of the appointment he has received.
Mr.. Buckley was formerly employed in
this city but about ten years ago he
left Ottumwa and during the past few
years has been employed in the office
of the Macon Times-Democrat and at
the time of his appointment was fore
man in the office. Mr.. Buckley is a
practical printer, having had a good
many years of experience and is well
prepared to take up the work that his
position in the public printing office
will bring to him. Concerning MI.
Bickley's appointment the Macon
Times-Democrat says:
Civil Service Appointment.
Chas. Buckley, foreman at this office
was officially notified this week by the
U. S. Civil Service commission that he
had been appointed to a position in the
public printing Office at Washington,
D. C. The position is a lucrative one
from the beginning and offers many
splendid opportunities for advance
ment. While we regret that Mr.. Bick-
ley will leave this Office and that he
and his wife will leave Macon we are
glad that he has had the good fortune
to receive this excellent appointment
and the Times Democrats best wishes
will go with them to their new home.
1t will probably be ten days or two
weeks before Mr.. Buckley starts for
Washington. His wife will not go I'M
til later.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Barton, of this city,
have returned from New York where

the Meteor which was christened
by Miss Alice Roosevelt, and also the
banquet which was given to President
Roosevelt and Prince Henry, the royal
German visitor, by the Townsend.
Downey Co., the builders of the boat.
The Ottumwa people were the guests
of Mr.. Downey, of the above named
firm, and went to the scene of the
launching in his private yacht, the
Hudson The affair was one which
will be long remembered by Mr.. and
Mrs. Barton, as one Of the most pleas
ant experiences.
On the evening of the launching the
streets for TWO blocks on either side of
the Metropolitan opera house, where
Prince Henry attended the theater
were lined with curious thousands in
spite of the fact that there was a
pouring rain. The New Workers ad
mired Prince Henry and took every OPP
portunity that was offered to display
that fact. AS a souvenir of the ban
uuet in the afternoon Mrs. Barton has
one of the plates that were given tc
all of the women present, and or
which is engraved the coat of arms
of the United States and Germany, the
picture of the Meteor" and appro

Mr.. Barton. in speaking today of the
conditions of business in the east, sale
that there has never been a time
when the future seemed more prOmis
ing. He looks for a splendid trade
throughout the entire country thi.
year in every line.

GETS GOOD RAISE
F. H. McGuigan Goes to Chicago for
Grand Trunk Railroad.

Frank H. McGuigan, who for many
years was superintendent of the Wa
bash railroad running into this city,
and who left that road several years
ago with Charles M. Hays to go to the
Grand Trunk has recently been given
the position of manager of maintain
ance of way and transportation with
headquarters in Chicago. The many
friends of Mr.. McGuigan in this city
will be greatly pleased to hear of his
rapid advancement. He left the Wa
bash to become a division superintend-
ont on the Grand Trunk and for sever
al years he was located on the Canad-
ian side.

The circular announcing the appoint
ment states that Mr.. McGuigan will
have charge of maintenance of way
and transportation over the entire sys-

Anti-incorporation Howl Poor Thing.
l see no ,eascn TO change my for
mer predictions that the measure will
fail, if not in the senate then in the
lower house. The truth of the matter
is that the railroad side OF the ques-
ton, viewed from the standpoint of
reason and argument, is far stronger
than ever. The pleas made before
the committee by the experts whom
the roads have sent here TO represent
them have been so far unanswered
and the conviction steadily grows that
the old anti-corporatiCn howl is a
poor thing for the lawmakers of a
great state to heed. The press of the
capital city, or at least a part of it,
preferring sensation to truth, is still
bowling about the awful labby. 1t has
not discovered other lobbies which
have been working no less industrious.

men representing the railroads admit

their methods have been open and

are in earnest on any subject. They
understand men, and know how tn dd.

RUSSELL SAGE ON WEALTH.-Russell
Sage has written for The Independent
a short but pointed article, replete with
epigrams on "Wealth-A Degree Of JUS
tice." Here are a few of the most in
teresting sentences:
To rail against the accumulation OF
wealth is to rail against the decree OF
justice.
NO man has a right to wealth who
has not a sense of the responsibility
that goes with it.
capital represents crystalized efforts
of the past, while labor is present ener-
gy and skill.
If the truth were known, concentra-
ton of wealth Is popular with the
masses.
There never was a day when capital
and labor were so near together as
now.
So long as some men have more sense
and more self-control than others, just
so long will such men be wealthy.
It Is observable that the very rich
men of today are far more democratic
than ever before in the history of the
world.
II is the concentration Of capital and
the concentration of labor, which
amounts to the same, that our COM
mercial supremacy throughout the
world will be due.

1t" said he because they deplored
the raising Of the race question. They
are right In that. I deplore 1t myself;
no one can deplore it more than do.
I said tnat over and over again in my
speech. But it was not I who raised
the race question; it was Senator Nc
Comas. He charged US southerners
with hypocrisy in maltreating the Ne
groes and then objecting to maltreat-
ment of the Filipinos; and he brought
up the civil war and revived the
charge that we southerners burned
Columbia and not Sherman's army. At

tion. Under such circumstances I had

MAD JACKS" NAVAL PRANK.-Cap-
tain Percival of the navy. whose por-
trait has just been presented to the
navy department, died in 1862. He was
known as Mad Jack" Percival because
of eccentricities which on many oc-
casions brought him in conflict with
the naval authorities. The portrait
was sent by Mrs. William Nicholson,
but who she is the department is una
BILE to discover.
Captain Percival was sent to Mo-
rocco with his frigate to bring back
cargo of jackasses for the government,
and in order to show his contempt for
the employment of war vessel for such
a mission, on entering New York har-
Dor ne ran in all mis- guns and placed
the head of jackass through each
port as the ship sailed in. The sight
of a double row Of jackasses' head pro-
truding from the places where guns
were looked for created a sensation at
the time, and Mad Jack" narrowly es-
capped a reprimand.
