CHANGES
PRESIDENT GEORGE 3. HARRIS
OF BURLINGTON MAY GO TO
NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Il. C. Mutt, Superintendent of Iowa
Lines, Said to be Slated for General
SUPPLEMENTARY Superintendent
Fabens in Line of Promotion.


For several days there have been
rumors afloat at the local Burlington
Offices that H. C. Mutt, now superin--
tendent of Iowa lines, is to be promot-
ed to the position of general snperin-
tendent. the position now occupied by
F. G. Rice of Chicago. The truth of
the rumor was questioned, however, as
it was not known what disposition
would be made of Mr.. Rice in such an
event Now information coming, it is
stated, from official sources in Chicago,
is to the effect that George B. Harris,
president of. the road. is to go to the
Northern Pacific as president and that
Darius Miller, now first vice president
of the Burlington, is to be promoted to
the presidency This would cause a
general advancement and would doubt
less advance Mr.. Mutt to the general
superintendent.
Promotions Will Follow.
Howard Elliott, second vice presi--
dent of the Burlington, is also mention
ed as a possible candidate for the po-
sition of president of the Northern Pa
cific. The election of either of these
officials will necessitate general
change in the make UP of the Burling-
toms officials and will cause the pro-
motion of many of the officials below
these men.
Fabens in Line of Promotion.
If the rumors prove to be correct and
Mr.. Mutt is elevated to the general
SUPPLEMENTARY the position of sup
erintendent of Iowa lines will be made
vacant. Superintendent G. w. Fab
ems of the Ottumwa division and
Superintendent o. e. Stewart Of the
Creston division are also in
line for this position, although an Of
fetal from some of the other divisions
may in event of the change be given
the plum. The local officials state
that they have no authoritative informa-
ton regarding the proposed changes
but they do not deny that there has
been much talk concerning them in
the past.

in speaking Of the woeful ills to which
the people of India are subject. DR..
Mcneil has but recently returned
from India where she has been for a
number of years in charge OF hos
pital in one OF the provinces OF that
country. Her address yesterday took
the place of the regular Sunday morn
ing service and was chiefly descriptive
Of the people and their condition.
DR.. Mcneil speaks quietly and slow
ly and she tells wonderfully pointed
and interesting story of the life of the
poorer classes OF these people who live
today in the primitive ignorance and
simplicity that they did in the times of
Abraham and Budda. The abject
poverty and hopeless ignorance of the
great mass of the people was the DOM

pr. McNeiI's Address.
The address was in part as follows:
"The people OF India are OF the same
race as we and differ only in color
and opportunity. In color they range
from a light brown to that of the
blacklist negro. In intelligence they
are lust as bright as we are. The
children in our classes there learn
their lessons just as quickly as do the
children of our own people at home.
Hopeless and AFFECT Poverty.

forcibly was the hopeless and abject
poverty of the people. Strong mer

ITO My Beloved Christian Brethren in
Christ of Kishenev: From the newspaper
accounts succeeding the first published re-

1 have concluded that the Jews themselves
were the cause OF the recent disorders: that
1t is the Christians who suffered in the end
and that the Jews have been doubly repaid
for their losses and injuries by their own
brethren and others.
I know this from private letters. also,
which 1 have received from people who
lived a long time In Kishenev. who are well
acquainted with affairs there and who are
most trustworthy.
Therefore, say to the Kishenev Chris
tians. forgive the reproach on account Of
the horrors committed which / cast upon
yor alone.
From the letters Of eyewitnesses / am
convinced now that one cannot lay all the
blame upon the Christians, who were pro-
voked to the disorders by the Jews, and
that the Jews were mainly responsible for
the catastrophe"
