ELDoN MAN is CHIEF.
w. S. Stone is Elected to Fill Place
Made Vacant by Two Deaths.

NlSNSieAius Nhio, aug. Ii w. NJ
Stone of Eldon, Iowa, has been elected
to fill the unexpired term as grand
chief engineer of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, made vacant
by the deaths of P. M. Arthur and
A. B. Youngson. After the election
the executive committee said that no
fear need be felt of any radical chang
es in the policy of the Brotherhood
and that the new grand chief will
carry out the conservative principles
advocated by Arthur in every essen
tial.
Eldon, Aug. IL Especially w. S.
Stone of this city, who was today
elected grand chief engineer of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers
is one of the most popular residents of
Eldon. He was born near Ainsworth
February 1, 1851 and lived with his
parents on a farm until he was 90
years of age. He received good ed
ucation at western college and has al
ways been of studious turn of mind,
reading during all his spare moments.
He entered the employ of the Rock
Island company in 1852 as fireman and
after serving two years in that capac-
ity he was promoted to engineer He
was united in marriage with Miss Mary
E. Newell of Agency, October Is, 1884
They have no children.
Mr.. Stone has always stood high in
the councils of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers. though it is not
known that he was candidate for the
Office of chief
Acted as Commissioner.
Mr.. Stone worked as engineer for
the Rock Island from the fall of 1884
when he was promoted from fireman
after two years work in that capa-
city. Last May he was elected salar-
led chairman of the general board of
adjustment of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers of the Rock Is
land road. Since that time he has
acted as commissioner for the engi-
neers and has adjusted their griev-
ances against the railroad company,
thus coming into contact with the
officials of the concern. His work has
been of the most satisfactory kind so
far as the men have been concerned
and his fellow employees with one &C
cord hail his election with JOY At
present Mr.. Stone is out of town on
business and will not return home for
several days.
Surprise to Friends.
The election of Mr.. Stone to the
highest position in the organization to
which he belongs is an agreeable sur.
prise to his many friends in Eldon, as
it was not known that he was candi-
date for the place. However, his &C.
quaintances are as one in declaring
that the Brotherhood could make no
better choice in the whole country.
Mr.. Stone is a straightforward, BUSH
ness-like man, who has had much ex.
perience in dealing with the managers
of the Rock Island railroad in behalf
of the employees, and, in the words OF
one of his friends, ''he is just the man
for the place."

p. P. WOODS.

Senator McCandless objected to the
adoption of the report at s2.lo a page
for printing when the Senate had. its
work done for Sis. He thought the
House was too liberal with the peoples
money. If the Senate was TO permit
the House to do as it pleased why
should the Senate amend any bills that
came from the House. The Legislature
should be more careful with the public
money than If the members owned il
themselves. He said he would rather
pay the money out OF his own pocket
than allow 1910 when the work could Be
done for s1.ss.
Senator Achi said the House was re-
sponsible for It's own acts. and that the
contract had been made The Senate
paid it's clerk 5000 and the House
gave its clerk $500; and the same way
with other officials The cost Of trans
lating was figured at $3.50 while the
committee allowed but $3.50. and then
the Senate had no right TO cancel any
contract of the House. There was al
ready feeling in the House and this
should not be increased or the public
would suffer by The refusal Of the
House 10 continue it's sessions

PaeIe introduced the following joint
resolution. which was adopted by %
10 l.
Whereas, there are many persons
now at the leper settlement on the ISL
and of Mololzai, who have not been mi-
croscopicaIly examined by the Terri
toriaI bacteriologist and the bacilli lep-
ra have not been demonstrated by such
scientific process TO exist in said per
sons, although listed as Iepers; and,
Whereas. that only the presence OF
! such bacilH Iepra in any alleged iep-
yops nerson would justify such person
being declared and classed leper;
and.
Whereas, it is necessary to examine
microscopicaIIy those alleged persons
under the charge and supervision OF a
committee from the present Legislature,
and find out whether such alleged lep-
rous persons have the lepra bacilh in
their systems, or whether any of them
. had once had the disease of ieprosy, but
now. Is not a person in a condition TO
spread the disease of leprosy which
alone t1lstifies segregation; therefore
be it
Resolved, That said committee have
full authority and power to select one
or two medical experts on leprosy TO
accompany them to the said ieper set
Element and with the assistance Of the
president ,t the Board of Health or
any person appointed by him. TO ex-
anime the said alleged leprous persons
AT said leper settlement. and TO dis
charge and release all persons who
have not the bacilh lepra in their sys-
TENS. or in condition which will not
spread the disease of leprosy by being
at large"
The resolution originally contained
the following. which was stricken out
after Speaker Beckley had explained
that money could not be appropriated
by joint resolution:
"Resolved. That the sum of $1,000 be
and is hereby appropriated 10 defray
the expenses of the said committee"
EXPENSE BILL ADVANCED.
The second reading cs the new ex-
pense bill brought up a question from
the chair as to whether or not the COM
mitte.e had asked the Governor as TO
his readiness to accept the measure as
now submitted. Chairman Andrade rose
to say that as chairman OF that com
raittAe he would say that he had not
seen the Governor, had not considered
it necessary. but had drawn the bill in
accordance with law. and the Governor
could sign it or not as he chose. The
bill was passed under suspension of
