MAY MAKE A CHANGE.
Rumored That Burlington Will
Create New Office.
TO HAVE DIVISION PASSENGER AGENT
Owing to Growth of Freight and Pas
senger Business, Work Has Become
Too Heavy to Be Handled by One
Man.

Owing to the enormous growth of
the passenger and freight business on
the Burlington system in the past few
years, which has reached such a vol
ume that it is almost impossible for
one man to handle, a rumor is strongly
current that this month will see an
important change in the local division
freight and passenger department of
the Burlington system. Traffic Mana
ger Eustis confirms the report that it
has been decided to divorce all joint
freight and passenger offices and place
freight and passenger representatives
under different executives This new
plan has been in process of arrange
ment all over the Burlington and it's
allied northern roads. The Iowa divi-
sion is the only one that still remains
under the joint management, and the
announcement is made that this diyi-
sion will soon be placed under sepa-
rate arrangements.
Create New Official.
The plan is supposed to consist in
the changing of the title of the pres
ent division freight and passenger
agent to division freight agent, and
to relieve him of the duties of the pas
senger department. A division passen-
ger agent will then be created and a
head appointed who will handle all
the passenger traffic in the division

A Public Enterprise.

Although there has as yet been no
steps taken by those interested in the
matter, yet it is confidently expected
that the people of Ottumwa and espe-
cially the members of the Methodist
churches in the city would give their
most hearty support to the project Of
bringing this educational institution
to this city. 1t is felt that the spirit
of enterprise and push that has plac-
ed Ottumwa among the leading cities
of the state as a business and CONNER

Business Has Doubled.

In the past several years the freight
and passenger business of the Burling-
ton system has grown to such an eX-
tent that it has been necessary to di-
vide the work into separate depart
ments. In the Iowa division this in
crease Of business has been phenome-
nal. and has reached a volume which
renders it impossible for one man to
look after it all. 1t is stated that the
work in the Iowa division freight and
passenger offices has doubled in less
than six years. There are 143 local
Offices in the Iowa division and each
has poured in upon the division office
vastly increased business.
The change therefore is in the ma
,ture of an expansion on the part of
the Burlington, and will in no way cut
down the Importance of either office.
1t may in fact be looked upon as, an
advancement for the present traffic OF

BechteI is Present Head.

J. M. Bechtel, the present head
of the combined division office. is a
man eminently suited to take charge
of the new freight department He
has had thirty years of railroad exper-
fence, the most of it being in connec--
ton with freight and passenger busi--
ness. He is personally acquainted
with hundreds Of shippers all along the
line of his division and is popular with
everyone. In the past few years he
has been doing tremendous amount
of work in the combined department,
work that has been increasing at
SO rapid rate as to fairly swamp the
department The release from the
burden of the passenger business will
enable him to give his entire attention
to the important details of the freight
department.

Water For Baby.

Many mothers are cruel to their babies
without knowing it, by foolishly denying
them water. Often babies are fretful
because of the want Of drink. A child
to be healthy must have water just the
same as an adult. The system of the
child, as well as that Of the adult, re-
quires less food in summer than in win
ter, for the reason that in the cold season
a certain additional amount Of food Is
required for the production Of animal
heat, the loss by radiation being much
greater In the summer, on the contrary
perspiration Is very active, and there is
consequently an increased amount of wa
ter demanded. In the summer season
therefore, and particularly during very
bot periods, the amount of food giver
should be diminished by one-third or one
fourth, and the difference in bulk b'
made up by adding water. Water shoult
also be allowed freely between feeding
hours If this rule were strictly followed
very many cases Of summer indigestion
and diarrhea might be avoided.

by the Illustration. 1t is open in front
to show a chemisette Of white chiffon,
and there are some black velvet bows
and wide velvet belt. The sleeves
are flowing with white chiffon under
sleeves. and these have velvet bands.
The hat to match is of smoked straw
with black velvet ribbon and q black
plume. The hat has double brim, and
between the two is twist of resada
tulle.
There are few white gowns at AS
bury. Whether Mr.. Bradley has barred
them or not do not know, but there
are plenty long, shapeless blue bathing
suits, and of all the ugly things on
earth or in the sea these are the most
horrible. But as an offset there are lots
of blue and red duck suits for walking,
and they are really smart and add
much to the landscape. Anyhow AS
bury is a good place to be in, and If
there are few magnificent brocades and
point lace trimmings and rivieres Of
diamonds there are plenty pretty cos
tunes and girls to wear them. Indeed.
think that Of all the summer resorts
Asbury can show the greatest number
of beauties-babies and women. And
they all look as If life had been found
worth the living.
Among some of the gowns seen at
the evening promenade there was one
worth mention as exceedingly tasteful
and elegant. 1t was of delicate
shrimp pink yelling. and there were
three ripple 1ounces. each six inches
deep. Each had a row of white trou-
trou insertion. and through this was
run black velvet ribbon. 1t was not
half an inch wide and depended more
on the fineness than the color for eff
feet. The underdress was bright blue
and seen dimly through the yelling II
produced delicate purple. The walls
was V shaped in the neck, and thu
front was brought to the left side il
surplice form The belt was of silve'
braid, with oxidized clasps, in whicl
were set two large amethyst stones
There was white fichu made of whit,
brussels net, and around the edges o
this row of light oriental lace. TIL
sleeves were but to the elbow and end
ed with a ruffie Of lace. A whole buncl
of velvet loops was fixed to the wais
where the fichu fastened and smalle
ones at the inner side of the ends o
the sleeves.
A new fancy Is that Of having a sor
of corselet of heavy lace arrange
around the hips. 1t Is pointed in iron
and in the back, and on the hips
curves up gracefully. Some of the new
est Of these are so long that one coul
almost call them tabliers. They are, CT

GREEN ORGANDIE.

they do now, aud that more in the
way of light and pretty summer attire
than heavy and costly materials There
are SO many different ways Of dress
ing well that it would require whole
book to explain them all. But the
whole gist of it Is to dress according
to the demands Of the surroundings.
So, as Asbury is warm and is sociable
and there are so many delightful shady
places to sit in and have the ever
beautiful trees and shrubbery as a
background, and as the board walk
and hotel piazzas afford so excellent a
chance to show ones prettiest things,
1t is no wonder that many new gowns
of special beauty find their oppor-
tunity there.
/ have in my minds eye lovely
organdie In the softest of resada green,
with darker shadings Of the same
color as design. The whole Is SO cool
and pleasing to the eye that one could
believe that In far off France the de-
signer had by some occult vision seen
the bright sand and glazing beach and
thought out this dress to repose the
eyes from too much sun. 1t Is as cool
as the waves that one sees curling up
forever ready to fall in snowy foam.
Well, poetry aside, this gown is cool
to the sight as well as to the sense, and
being so 1t is a thing Of beauty and
will be joy until it gets some of that
same salt water on it,
SO this dress is of organdie, and we
know the color The form now inter
ests us. The skirt has two f1ounces,
the lower one deeper than the other
and each is tucked at the top, the fine
tucks running out about three inches
from the top. At the bottom is full
ruffle made of inch wide black chan

tilly insertion. Down the center OF the
front is a line of narrow insertion, also
black. The waist is tucked In thu

TO RAISE POULTRY

Nafe brothers, who recently pur-
chased the Gardner farm on Four
Mile, are making extensive arrange
ments for the purpose Of raising
chickens and other poultry. They
will spend $4,000 in building houses
and installing facilities for the pur-
pose Of conducting the business on a
large scale. An effort will be made
to make this the largest chicken rais-
ing ranch in the state.
The product will be shipped to the
large markets, and large income is
anticipated.
The latest scientific methods for
Matching eggs and caring for poultry
will be employed. and great amount
of money will be used towards this
purpose.
An arrangement will be made
whereby the doors and windows of
the various pens can be opened or
closed as desired by the operation of
cord which passes out into an alley
way which runs through the middle
Of each building. Already one of the
houses is nearly completed and con-
tains 300 chickens Most of the
breeds which will be raised come from
Illinois where some of the finest
poultry stock in the country is raised.
Broilers will be the chief output of
the new ranch. Barred plymouth
rocks, buff and silver wyandottes,
white and buff plymouth rocks.
About 80 different varieties of the
highest grade fowls will also be
raised. Eggs will not be sold for
consumption but some of the fine
ones will be sold for setting purposes.
Every thing will be systematized and a
model poultry farm will soon be in
existence near this city.
