to at first glance. It may be that the
matter has been talked over by the
officials of the road and in view of
the fact that the St. Louis Kansas City
line is being pushed to completion, the
change has all been decided upon.
Ever since the Rock Island general
offices were removed from Topeka. the
report has become current about once
every two months that the general
superintendent was to be removed to
Kansas City. But the present rumor
seems more solid and to have a better
foundation.
The general superintendent and the
general attorney are the only Rock Is
land offices now left in Topeka, and it
is undoubtedly just a matter OF time
until the superintendent viii come to
Kansas City. 1t may not be until after
the st. Louis Kansas City line is COM
pleted. but it is surely coming This
viii leave Charles Jones, the division
superintendent, at Topeka. There
have been any number of reports that
General Attorney M. A. Low was to
be removed to Chicago, but thus far
nothing has developed.

GUEST OF R0OsEYELT.
First Marshal Of Deadwood Pays
President Visit.

Washington, Feb 2e.-Seth Bullock of
South Dakota. was the guest of the
president at luncheon yesterday and late
in the afternoon went horseback riding
with him. Bullock is chief forest ranger
for the Black Hills district and is in
Washington on official business with the
interior department When President
Roosevelt heard he was in town he sent
for him, and they had a fine time to-
day renewing old acquaintance.
Bullock was the first marshal Of
Deadwood, and he has been known as
a bad man with a gun ever since the
Black Hills excitement of 20 or 30 years
ago. When Mr.. Roosevelt made his
campaign tour through the west in 1900
Seth Bullock accompanied him through
South Dakota 1t was rumored that
Bryanites were planning to break up
the Roosevelt meeting in Deadwood.
Don't you Worry said Seth Bullock
to Mr.. Roosevelt. Leave that to me;
III fix EN-" On the afternoon before
the meeting he passed around the word
in Deadwood that he would sit on the
platform with Roosevelt that evening
armed with his six shooters and that he
would kill any person who made a dis
turbance. Bullock attracted general at
tention around the White House. He
has a fierce melodrama mustache and
wears a sOmbrero.

PAY FOR GEORGE EVANS.
State May Reimburse Old State House
Contractor.

For thirty-five years George H. Evans
has been drawing money from the state
on state house contracts, with occasional
vacations. His longest vacation has
been during recent years since he has
been incapacitated for work. Thirty
five years ago he began laying the base
ment walls of the state house, and for
many years he had most of the con-
tracts on the building, drawing hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for the
work
1t has been several years. however,
since he has had an opportunity of
cashing a state warrant, but if the SEN
ate passes a bill which has already gone
through the house he viii again draw a
state warrant-for 81 500. It is for in
terest due him on warrants which he
held years ago and which could not be
paid when due for want Of funds in the
state treasury.
Evans never had a faculty of accumu-
lating wealth. and all that he made on
his state house contracts slipped away
from him Now in his old age he has
practically nothing to show for his work
for the state. During recent years he
has been afflicted with rheumatism He
spent several months in the National
Soldiers home at Leavenworth, but
steadily grew worse. Now he IS unable
to stand or to leave his house much of
the time. The 81 500 which he win re-
ceive from the state will be more of a
boon to him than some of the thousands
which he has drawn in years long past

Pacific to shovel cinders quit work and
left last evening for the west to resume
work on the railroad at some other
point where there is no threat of trou-
BILE. A promise was made by local men
that 40 men would be supplied from
town to take their places and so the
company acquiesced.
The men belonged to a regular work
outfit which the company has had at
work for some time repairing track,
there being a great scarcity of work
men. They are paid 1.50 a day and ex-
ira on Sunday and, while foreigners,
We're pretty intelligent, well-dressed and
well-behaved. The company says that
at present every large concern in the
country has been compelled to use such
gangs of men as Americans are all busy
and it is impossible to secure laborers.

BASEBALL SCHEDULES.
American and National Leagues Ar
range the Dates.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-American and Nation
al league committees agreed upon playing
schedules for their respective organizations
after another days session at the Audito-
RUM Annex yesterday. and all of the Wis
iting magnates with the exception Of Tom
LOTUS have left for their homes.
The schedules will not be officially adopt
ed until the regular meetings OF the
leagues, and for that reason the date
agreed upon by the committees We're not
announced According TO the present plan,
however, the National league season viii
start April IS and the American league on
April p. Both organizations will play 149
games and end their championship races
on or about September q or Is, so as to
provide for the post-season interleague
While there will be some conflicting dates
these viii occur largely through choice
the rival magnates in some cities prefer
ring a conflicting date on Sunday rather
than a nOncOnfiicting date week day.
Both of ChicagOs clubs will probably
open the season in St Louis. The opening
were not announced. It is probable how
ever that the American league season
will start as follows;
New York at Washington.
Chicago at St. Louis.
Boston al Philadelphia
Cleveland at Detroit.
The scheduling the New York team to
start the play at Washington gives the
American league additional time to COM
plete its stands in Gotham The senators
will return to New York to share in the
American leagues opening day in the me
tropOlis on or about May l.
The reason for the early start of the Ma
tional league is caused by the fact that the
jump from st. Louis to Pittsburg requires
more than one day, while the American
leaguers can go from the Mound City to
Chicago Detroit or Cleveland in time to
play on the next day. This difference
costs the National league five days time

FOOD PROTECTION.
U. 8. Circuit Court Decides in Favor of
In-er-seal Package.

A decision far reaching in its effect
and of interest to all lovers of pure food
has lust been handed down by Judge
Adams in the Circuit court Of the Uni
ted States.
The suit in question was brought
against The Union Biscuit Company for
infringement on the In-er-seaI package,
controlled exclusively by The National
Biscuit Company, for the protection of
biscuit and crackers against dust, mois-
ture. odor and germs.
In deciding against The Union Bis
cult Company. Judge Adams says:
THE proof abundantly shows that
prior to the invention of the patent, the
old paper cartons or boxes, were made
quate to the demands of the service re-
quired by them; that their contents de-
Perforated rapidly in substance and fta-
vor; that they were subjected to the
baneful effects of the air, moisture and
dust Since the Introduction of the box
of the patent a radical change has ia
ken place. This box has been found
equal to the climatic and other local
oonditiOnss in all parts of the country
from New Orleans to New York from
Florida to Minnesota. and from CalifOr-
MIA to Massachusetts. The uniform tes-
timony from all these regions is to the
effect that the contents of the box are
preserved in their original freshness and
flavor.
clearly shows that the box of the pat

OF inexpensive food products to the con
sumner and at the same time lessons the
cost and enhances the intrinsic value
Of such products"
Judge Adams full decision against the
infringement not only shows the great
importance of the In-er-seal package,
but is so broad and conclusive as to
prevent any further infringement or use

Legislature Takes Steps to Reimburse
Counties.
The ways and means committee in
the house has passed favorably on a
bill to reimburse various counties for
the care Of insane persons for whom
there has been no room in the state
asylums- The aggregate amount is
$42.6 76
It is to relieve the necessity of the
counties caring for their insane that
the new asylum at Parsons is being
built. For several years past the state
asylums have been unable to provide
for hundreds of insane. Consequently
they have been left with the counties
The counties as a rule place them in
private asylums and the state pays the
counties for their keep.
The appropriation is divided among
the counties of the state as follows:
