ST. Paul Directors Planning Big I'm
provements During the Year.
New York, Feb. 1S.-The next regular
meeting of the board of directors of the
st. Paul road will be held on Feb. 90,
when action in issuing s1o,000,000 of the
recently authorized s25.0O0,O0O new
stock will probably be taken. This has
been delayed. to the disappointment of
some spectators, who have anticipated
valuable rights from month to month.
but there is better reason to believe
now that at the next meeting the long
expected action will be taken.
1t has been suggested that the board
may hold special meeting to order q
capital increase in a few days before
the March meeting. when action will be
taken on the dividend. but this theory
is discredited.
The treasury is to be reimbursed for
expenditures of about $10,000.00O the
past year for coal lands in Illinois. new
lines, etc. but the company is in no
reed of cash, having a large balance. 1t
is understood that the ST. Paul road
will spend about $12,000.000 this year
for improvements.

LOCOMOTIVE STOCK SCARS.
Rise Believed to Be Due to Genuine
Appreciation.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The rise OF
American Locomotive stock yesterday
was said to be based upon genuine APP
probation of the property. The market
career of the stock has been somewhat
turbulent. 1t figured indirectly in !;
sensational and disastrous exploit in
International Power last spring. The
then, and is supposed still to be, a large
holder of American Locomotive stock.
Before that, when Locomotive stock
came on the market. a bull pool in the
common shares fell out with certain
inside interests, and was compelled
abruptly to abandon its campaign.
There was talk of dividend on the
common stock, but it was unauthorita-
tive.

Prominent Citizens Plan to Form

\
Company to Buy Present Plant.
Special TO Times Republican.
Ottumwa, Feb. 1s.-A meeting of
prominent citizens was held yesterday
afternoon to discuss plans for the or
ganization of water works company
in this city. No ideas have been adj
vanced as to the exact method of or
ganization, but it is understood that
the concern is to be amply capitalized
by local capitalists and is to buy the
present water works system, improve
it, and conduct it as the base of the
city's water supply.
Mayor Samuel Mahon is one of the
men at the head of this movement,
which is the outgrowth of the meeting
held at Mr.. Merrill's Office little more
than week ago. when the question
of organizing such a company as the
proposed was preached and discussed
at length. 1t is not known whether
1t is the intention to eventually turn the
plant over to the city on some agreed
basis when the city shall be able to
buy by reason of reduced indebted
ness.

A Rocky Mountain Burro's Revolt.
I'm a Rocky mountain burro; no honors
have sought.
But I've never met with justice from the
day that was caught;
I'm fed on shortest rations, and I'm called
a Flooding mule,
But still there's many man that's smart
that never went to school.
Now. brains are very handy. but plodding,
l have found.
Can match them pretty closely In the
work that's good and sound;
Men think OF me and speak Of me as be-
ing just fool,
But I've discovered long ere this that I'm
useful tool
I helped tho railroad magnates when
toiled up old Pixies peak
To carry rails and lumber for work !
did not seek.
And with my burden on me never did
complain.
But merely let the nabobs get the glory
Of my gain.
I trudged up rocky places with big and
heavy pack
Just cinched as tight as could be across
my aching back,
With blankets, picks and shovels, all
miner wished to take,
But l never shared the fortunes all my
efforts helped to make.
I carried camping outfits for hunters by
the score.
Who never once reflected that u burro's
bones were sore
AS they placed their game upon me, with
horns and hoofs and hide.
And helped to mend my pace a bit with
blow and curse beside.
I'm fed on sage and cactus or u piece of
pinOn tree
They think that anything at all is good
enough for me.
While horses in fine stables, standing idle
most the day.
Are given good alfalfa. plenty corn and
oats and hay.
While all the cobs and PAGERS which are
harnessed up so fine.
With the trotters and the racers, are all
put into line
To be petted and admired mt horse show
or a fair.
You'll find that not place is left to put
a burro there.
But I suppose us burros must agree with
one accord
That virtue, though unrecognized, will
bring its own reward.
In spite of this now intend to kick when
I've n chance;
I'll no longer be a martyr virtues king
dom to enhance.

The man had been stabbed to death with knives, there being IF cuts in the body One of the hands was clenched and badly cut, as though the man had at tempted to grasp the knife used against him, and it had been drawn through his hand. Beneath the~ body was found a revolver fully loaded, but bearing no evidence of having been re- gently discharged.
 There were no papers or distinguish ing marks by which the identity of the man could be learned. No attempt had been made at robbery as small sum of money in the pockets had been left undisturbed. The man was well dressed and was not a laborer.

REPORTS FROM VATICAN.
Discussion as to Why Mgr O'Connell
 Was Appointed

Was Appointed.
 New York, Jan 14.-In the vatican world, says the Rome correspondent of the Tribune, the appointment of Mgr OaConneH to the rectorship of the Washington Catholic university is con- sidered a revolution. Monsignor O'Con- nell was the trusted and authoritative lieutenant of Archbishop Ireland at Rome. Loyalty to his leader and his support of so-called Americanism se- cured for him a persecution, led espe- cially by Cardinals :, Ledochwski and Ciasco, both of whom are dead. Mgr O'ConneH was dismissed from the rec torship of the American college here and lived for seven years at Rome without an appointment. The two American factions which recognized as chiefs in the United States Archbishops Ireland and Corrfgan, have now as cor responding leaders in Rome Cardinals Satolli and Martinelli Archbishop Ire- land got ahead through Governor Taft's coming to Rome to negotiate the Phil ippine question, and Cardinal Martinel- Ii triedto get even through the influ- ence of the intrigues of Mgr Chapelle during his six weeks stay lately at Rome
 The present appointment of Mgr O'Connell shows decidedly which side the pope favors.
 Old residents at the vatican say that the real inwardness of the appointment of Mgr O'Connell is that Archbishop Ireland will soon enter the sacred col lege.
