He SUCCEEDS Mr.. Hustled
A. w. Thompson Now Superinten.
dent of Cumberland Division.
He ASSUMES CHARGE TUESDAY
Was Formerly biYision Engineer Witt
Headquarters in Cumberland, and
is Young Man.

Mr.. r. A. Hustled, who recently
rendered his resignation to the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad as superintend-
ent of the Cumberland division, Sat.
urday received official notification
that his successor had been appointed
in the person of Mr.. A. W. THOMPSON
division engineer Of the Pittsburg di.
vision and that be would report for
duty Tuesday. The other officials Of
the company in Cumberland were also
notified of the appointment of Mr..
Thom pson. MIR. II. II. Temple, of the
Conceivable division. will succeed
Mr.. Thompson on the Pittsburg di-
vision.
Aside from Mr.. Thompson taking
charge of the operation of the Third
most important division of the Balti-
more q Ohio system. it is to be re-
marked that he assumes the RESPONSE
bilities of this place as one of the
youngest railroad snperintendents in
the country, he being only 2S wears
old. He has been actively engaged IN
civil and railroad engineering work
since 1897, stepping up enc rung in
the ladder OF responsibility aud use
fulness each year since that time.
There has probably never been a
man on the Pittsburg division who
has shown his ability or who has held
he est eem Of his men SO thoroughly
as has Mr.. THOMPSON in the past year.
He went to Pittsburg year ago from
the Cumberland division. where he
was division engineer; thus his ex-
perlence eminently fits him to assume
the duties Of the superintendencs of
that division as successor 10 MI.
Hustled. In mis- years work as engi-
neer OF maintenance of way on the
Pitts5urg division Mr.. Thompson's
ability has been recognized by the
construction work of the Demler
yards and Glenwood shops ard yards
being placed in his care. He mas been
an energetic worker and the Pittsbarg
division loses an excellent man.

A Naturel Result.

1t is very reasonable to suppose il
the foundation or structure was re-
moved that the building itself is
bound to come down. This same
principle can be applied to disease.
Take medicine into the system that
will remove the cause of sickness,
and Illness will leave of itself. Dys-
pepsia. Indigestion, sick-headache
and biliousness have their foundation
in stomach disorders. Remove this
weakness and the other symptoms
are no more. There is one cure for
this that all druggists sell for 25 cents
per box it is DR.. Gums Improved
Liver Pills. They get right at the
beginning OF these diseases and make
the cure by taking away the cause.
