ELLIOTT WITH BURLINGTON.
is Elected Second Vice President in
CHARGE of All Lines.

Chicago, April 5.-Howard Elliott
has been elected second vice president
of the Burlington railway and will
have charge of the operations of all
lines in the system.
Mr.. Elliott has been general manag-
er of the Burlington lines in Missouri
since Jan. /, 1896, with headquarters in
ST. Louis. He has been in the service
of the Burlington since July 1, 1880,
starting as rod man with the engi-
neer corps, and was advanced success
lively as clerk in the presidents Office
Of the ST. Louis, Keokuk, and North
western, assistant in the treasurer's Of
fee of the same road; auditor and as
sistant treasurer of the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Kansas City and st. Louis
Keokuk, and Northwestern at Keokuk,
Ia; general freight and passenger
agent of the same roads and also of
the other Burlington lines in Missouri;
and general manager of those roads.
Mr.. Elliott is only AZ years of age
When w. C. Brown resigned as general
manager of the Burlington lines in Hi
nois and Iowa to go with the Lake
ton, but declined.
Il he eleClloH VI NIL. ElilulL DIS SeCOHu
vice president in charge of operations
of all lines in the system shows the
determination of the Burlington man
agement to concentrate the affairs OF
the various lines.
The first step in this direction was
the election of Darius Miller as first
vice p. ,sident in charge of traffic oil
all lines. Then came the appointment
of Thomas Miller as freight traffic
manager, with jurisdiction over all
lines, and now follows the promotion
of yIr. Elliott. The next step probably
will be the appointment of P. S. Eustis
as passenger traffic manager, in charge
of the passenger affairs of all Burling
ton lines.

BIG RAILWAY DEAL IS ON.
Four Big Roads Are Said to Be Con.
cerned


New York, April 5.-Financiers and
other men closely connected with some
of the largest railroad interests in this
country say there are strong indica-
tions that railroad deal of some mag
nitude was in progress. The four
roads which are said to be concerned
in the deal are the Union Pacific. St.
Paul, Northwestern, and Rock Island.
What the nature of the deal was those
most likely to be accurately informed
on the subject declined to state, but
contented themselves with saying it is
known there have been numerous con-
ferences lately between Union Pacific
and Rock Island officials, and that these
two companies seemed to be working
in harmony, and that they would not
be much surprised if some announce
ment were made in few days.
Besides these conferences the in
crease in the prices of the stocks OF
the roads mentioned was also pointed
to as an indication that something was
going on A lot of ST. Paul stock has
been accumulated lately, and the price
! has gone up six or seven points in the
last two days. There was a similar
movement recently in Rock island
stock, which was put up to $50 and is
now selling around that figure. Witt
! each recession in price it is said the
accumulation of stock was continued

ROCK ISLAND CHANGE.
That Road May Change Its Time Gard
Soon

1t is rumored among railroad men
that Rock Island road will make some
important changes in it's time card
soon. The officials of the road are in
Chicago arranging new time card
which will likely go into effect in
about two weeks. 1t is understood
that two new fast trains will be added
to the southwest division and that the
time Of the local Rock Island trains
will necessarily be changed consider
ably. The present dude" train,
which runs daily between Ottumwa
and Keokuk, will, it is thought, be
changed so as to run through to DeS
Moines, leaving that city at about
noon and arriving at Keokuk at about
seven in the evening. An improvement
to- travel will also be made through,
this change since it is the purpose of
the management to shorten the time
between Des Moines and Keokuk.
These changes will be hailed with de-
light by the travelling public. There
is a growing sentiment in favor of at
tempting to induce the Rock Island
to put on Sunday train on the branch
through Ottumwa. Keosauqua caused
the postal authorities to take some ac-
ton in the Sunday mail matter, and
as result that town now gets Sunday
mail which is carried at the govern
ment's expense overland from Fair
field. Since Keosauqua's success in
the mail matter other towns have be-
come more jealous.

City Officials Awful.
GRAND JURY REPORTS
Says the True Condition of Affairs
During the Past Ten Years Has
Been Almost Beyond Belief-Re.
turns Three Indictments.

st. Louis, April 5.-Most sensation
al charges are made by the grand jury
which has been investigating bribery
and official corruption in the municip-
al assembly in its final report today.
The report declares the people of the
city have but vague conception of
the extent to which corruption and
venality have, for the past ten years,
iXisted among officers and public ser
wants. 1t found the true condition of
affairs almost too appalling for relief
These indictments were returned
today: OF bribery, Robert N. Sny-
der; attempted bribery John H. Beck,
er; perjury, George j. Kobusch.

by young Single and driven to Mitch,

THE COUNCIL INsTRucTs.
Tells Street Railway Company to Pro.
coed With Track.

If the Ottumwa Traction & Light Co.
follows the instructions given it by the
members of the council in caucus last
evening it will disregard the warning
of the Milwaukee railroad company
contained in the notice served yester
day not to trespass on the property of
that corporation, and will go ahead and
build its extension along the north side
Of West Second street. The caucus
last evening was, of course, not an op-
en- meeting, but today it is stated au-
thoritatively that the members of the
city council are not disposed to view
the ground which has been claimed by
the Milwaukee company as its proper
ty. but instead of this they consider
this ground part of the public street
and they intend to make no change in
the instructions already given the
street car company as to where the
track shall be laid.
City Will Help.
1t seems that it is the sentiment of
the council that the city will stand
back of the Ottumwa Traction & Light
Co. in case the Milwaukee attempts
to enforce the provisions of it's motive
issued to the Ottumwa concern to the
effect that no trespassing will be al
lowed. The street railway company,
of course, is to lay its track in the
places designated by the council, and
if that body says that the track should
be on the north side of the road the
company, it seems today, intends to
build there. Already cinders are in
place there and other material is ar.
irving on the proposed site of the new
line. 1t has been the intention until
yesterday to start the work next Mon
day morning.
Anticipate No Trouble.
An official of the Ottumwa Traction
& Light Co. stated this afternoon that
the company will not be ready to &C
to work on the extension Monday, as
was expected, but that no plans have
changed on account of the notice serv
ed on the company by the Milwaukee
yesterday. The work, it is thought
will be commenced Tuesday. The
same man said that he does not anti
cipate trouble on account of this no
tice and thinks that the matter vii
be adjusted amicably to all concerned
