MEN ARE SHIFTED
Several Changes in Officials on
the Rock Island
Road.
!. B. HOLT IS PROMOTED
Made Assistant superintendent of
Iowa DAVIDSON is
Boosted Also.

L. Il. Holt has been promoted from
division engineer of the Iowa division
of the Chicago, Rock Island d Pacific
railway, to assistant superintendent
of the Iowa division, with offices in
Des Moines.
Among other changes instituted by
the Rcck Island is the removal Of the
main offices of the Iowa division OF
engineers from Des Moines to Chica-
go. This change is made in order
that the chief engineers Of the di-
vision may be in closer touch with
the engineers Of the other divisions
OF the road The offices were former
~ in Davenport, but were moved to
Des Moines in August
Much of the work done lately has
been between Des Moines and Omaha,
where the track has been thoroughly
inspected and gone over. At Marine,
Iowa. new bridge has been built.
The masonry on the bridge has been
finished, and it will be completed this
winter by the erection of the girdcr.
BuIIding Bigger Turn Table.
\ 75-foot turn-table is now in the
process of construction at Council
Bluffs. The concrete walls have all
been erected, and the turn-table will
probably be placed some time this
week. Council Bluffs is the division
point, but the old turn-table was too
small to permit of turning the new
large engines of the Rock Island, so n
larger one had to be erected to meet
the needs of the road. At Valley June
ton the other turn-table of the Iowa
division has been operated for sew
eral years.
w. II. Davisson, formerly division
engineer of the Iowa division, has
been appointed to the position Of prin-
cipal assistant engineer, with his Office
at Chicago. He has charge of all the
work on the Iowa and Missouri divis-
ions of the road. He is we'll known
here, having lived in Davenport sew
aral years and married Miss Warner,
formerly teacher Of Latin in the high
school.

Two cars containing an exhibit of
the products of Santa Clara county,
California, have arrived in the city,
and are on a side track on First aye
nue. and Nineteenth street, where they
will hold forth for a week to
give the people Of the city an oppor-
tunity to see for themselves what they
raise in that section of the country.
The exhibit is sent out by San Jose

pose of booming California. One Of
the cars contains splendid display
of the native fruits and vegetables
and the other a monster shark 36 feet
long and weighing 10.3S3 pounds, and
numerous other inhabitants of the

THE NEW AND OLD WAY.
Hyomei. the Latest Scientific Cure fol-
Catarrh.

Catarrh.
The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought a wonderful change in the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the inn
provement was not lasting.
With HyOmei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head a
balsamic air that goes to the minut-
est cells, effectually killing all germs
and microbes of catarrh. 1t enters
the blood with the oxygen. killing the
germs in the blood, and restores
health to the whole system. Many as
tonishing testimonials have been re-
ceived from those who have been cur
ed by Hyomei.
\ complete outfit costs but 81, and
includes an inhaler, dropper and sufii-
cient Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment.
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters is the fact
that T. III. Thomas has so much faith
in Hyomei that he sells every pack
age under a positive guarantee to re-
fund the money if it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use of
Hyomei

Springfield News: \ winter carni-
Springfield Baseball association is
being talked of by the officers and di-
rectoTs of of the association, to be
held shortly after the holidays. The
exact date has not been fixed and only
minor preliminary arrangements have
been made, but that it viii be held
seems to be an assured fact. 1t is the
intention to secure the arsenal or one
of the large buildings al the state
fair grounds for the holding Of the
carnival and the features will be first
class. The idea was taken from the
baseball carnival held at Dubuque for
the benefit of the Dubuque team and
from the carnival held at Rockford
for that association. The fact that
the Rockford management cleared
about 81 500 from its affair last wear
has led the managers all over the
circuit to consider the plan, and this
is now being done by the Springfield
association. Matters are not in any
definite shape yet. The management
have already signed several good men
for next year and a first class team is
already assured. Among those signed
are Cliff Latimer of the Rock Island
team. Cliff was catcher Of that
team last year and was considered one
of the fastest men in the league. He
was secured by Frank Donnelly after
considerable trouble. Another man
signed that will please the fans inn
mensely is Hans Wagner, who was re-
leased by Belt last year. Wagner
was favorite and the reason for his
release has never been satisfactorily
explained by the association or Frank
Belt. Buck Ebright will play in a To-
cal uniform if he plays at all. He
stated at the close Of last season that
he did not expect tO play ball next
year but that if he did he would
sign Springfield contract. He will
cover the second bag. Offa Neal has
signed Springfield contract and will
play shOrtstop. Neal is Il good man
and was wanted by other teams in the
league, expressing his preference for
Springfield. Gardner. who was tried
at short the latter part of the season,
may be signed if he can he induced to
do so. He played well during the time
he was here and gives promise of be

So New Jersey is very hospitable to corpora tions, whether great railroad mergers or little get-rich-quick enterprises, so long as they can earn, borrow or steal money enough to pay their taxes. When they can't do this they must die the death without mercy. Every year about this time the governor, as it is his duty under the law, issues a proc lamation forcibly dissolving the cor porations that have not paid their taxes for the previous year.
 Of course, this is in most cases only a formal burial of corporations that were actually dead before.
