Is. Webster says it is an account Of daily acts or

used in such nice sense. 1t usually means the
more important or interesting facts and events OF
life recorded from day to day, and often the
writer's opinions of such events also given.
Some of the papers told what president might
do; and yet others described little, unimportant
acts such the time of rising, breakfastng, driv-

to the style Of diary Many Juniors made their

RAILRoADERs CAN VOTE.
Provisions of the New State Law Re-

The last legislature passed a law pro-
vlding that railroad employees who are

upon the day of election. The coming

call for a ticket. He will be given the
ticket of that precinct 1t will of course
Contain the state ticket, but not the coun-

TRANSFER j. F. HOLDEN.
May Become Traffic Manager of the
Rock Island.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 21.-The follow
ing telegram was received from reli-
able Chicago source last night:
Telegram received. Can not vouch
for correctness of your query, but have
heard it stated around Rock Island
headquarters that ]. F. Holden, traffic
manager of the Choctaw at Little Rock,
would be transferred to Chicago to take
the position of assistant traffic manager
Of the entire Rock Island system. 1t is
positively known here that Mr.. Holden
will leave Little Rock some time be-
tween this date and Christmas and make
his headquarters in Chicago. The change
is a decided promotion for Mr.. Holden,
both in salary and responsibility"
When shown the telegram Mr.. Holden
said: That portion of your telegram
relating to the promotion L know moth
ing about / may be located in Chicago
or may go elsewhere. I shall remain
with the Rock Island, however. This is
all / care to say at present"
Close friends OF Mr.. Holden confirmed
the statement that he has already been
notified Of his transfer to Chicago, but
in what capacity they did not know.

deliver lectures, but he has time for
such things. He has work to do. He is
one of the men who find joy in work. The
only thing I fear about him is that when
the battle is over and the tribunal has
rendered its decision, he will collapse for
lack of nervous stimulants from the strain
that he has endured.
Great the strain has been, it has not
affected his marvellous self-containment,
self mastery No situation or shock ever
startled him into a furry. His pOise and
balance are equal to all emergencies At
the White House conference he bore the
taunts of Baer and others with unruffled
mien. His calm deliberateness under all
circumstances, no matter how trying, il
quite extraordinary.
Though not educated in the schools, his
ability to write terse, clear English, has
been well demonstrated in many Of mis-
letters and statements. His dispatch OF
yesterday to President Roosevelt is
garded a masterpiece. / heard him die
tating part of this telegram, walking to
and fro as he did so, and he was not many
hours in completing his task He writes
well, for the simple reason that he thinks
well.
When one stands close to man who
carries on a great battle, you expect now
and then to find him turning sharp cor
ners, dealing in half-truths, or playing his
game with art, as well as with forceful-
ness. But Mitchell is not that sort of a
general. He knows little or nothing Of
strategy His methods are all simple, di-
rect. He plays his cards openly. He does
not know how to lie, and detests man
who does He despises trickery, insin-
blunder made by mortal men than that
of the coal companies presidents when
they suspected Mitchell of an act of bad
faith with them. and resolved to crush
him. Tremendous consequences followed
from that seemingly small error. The
company managers simply did not know
their man. and never took the trouble TO
find out about him. This was their first
blunder. and they added a hundred moro
in an effort to stand by it.
Without doubt John Mitchell is the
greatest labor leader this country ever
10 fc ha0 he lie
able, sincere. conservative. He is not a
labor leader who is happiest when trouble
is on. Strikes he abhors. He justifies the
strike only last resort for the rem
edy of the intolerable evils. His ideal. to-
ward which he labors steadily. is recipro-
cal. scientific. mutually advantageous re-
lations between labor and capital.
Senator Hanna was right when he said
Instead of lighting Mitchell the. anthra-
cite people ought to thank their lucky
stars they have him to reckon with in the
end. They could well afford to spend ST.
100000 to keep him where he is instead of
trying to destroy him and bringing a rad
ical and trouble-maker to the front to
| take his place..

however, an excellent and palatable
remedy for catarrh in tablet form,
known as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and
sold by druggists, composed of the most
recent discoveries in medicine for cure
of catarrh and results from their use
have been highly gratifying.
The old time treatment of catarrh was

highly concentrated antiseptics. Hy-
draStin, Blood root, and Red gum which
kill the catarrh germs in the blood and
mucous membrane. and in this respect
are strictly scientific and modern, be-
cause all authorities are now agreed
that catarrh is constitutional blood
disease. and local applications can have
only a transitory effect.
The use of inhalers. dOuches and
sprays is a nuisance and inconvenience
and can in no wise compare favora bIv
with the same anti-septics given in tab
let form internally. where they can reach
the stomach and blood and kill catarrh
germs right where they are produced.
A prominent lawyer and public speak

bled with catarrh of the heaa and
