PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES.

'Idealism in philosophy is one thing,
in literature and thought it is another
thing, and in daily life it is the apex OF
an ascending series the base of which is
agnosticism. An agnostic is a man who
believes nothing that he cannot abso,
lutely prove; a practical man fs one who
believes anything that he can prove be-
yond a reasonable doubt "a hopeful man
is one who believes anything he cannot
disprove; and an idealist is one who be-
lieves what he knows is not true
"The therapeutic value of idealism long
ago became s 70 apparent that, in the early
part of the last century, there sprang up
in Germany a school of doctors whose
only resources in the treatment of disease
were an infinite amount of idealism and
an infinitesimal amount of medicine.
They are called homeopathic"
So reflects the Lonely Man in a book
filled with epigrams. If one is himself
sometimes given to ref1ection-and who
of us is not-he will find between the
overs of this book thoughts that he
himself has had, truths whose verify
cannot be questioned. 1t is a book for
a winters evening and a CRATE fire. A
more appropriate environment C a n
scarcely be imagined, and books, like
all else, have their times and places.
Do not, however, await the return of
winter to read what the Lonely Man has
to say. He can be read with as much
enjoyment now as on another occasion.
The winters evening and the CRATE fire
are suggestions for lovers of the fitness
of things.
First and last, nearly every topic of
daily life is touched upon, and in the
name the reader thinks he himself, if
he but had the skill, would like to have
done it. 1t is a delightful book for a
quiet hour-almost as fresh and breezy,
one thinks, as Holmes Autocrat-per-
haps not so ambitious, certainly not so
long, which in these hurried days were
of itself a recommendation. 1t may be
the years that have interviewed since the
earlier book was read should initiate
against the value of this opinion, but let
anyone who considers the praise extrav-
agant, read for himself the Reflections
of a Lonely Man. He will, at least,
have expended his time to good advan-
tage. The book is one that is well worth
e%veryone's attention.

Long Jim is Short.

J.. G. Rogers, who has had a brief
career in our city, departed for other
fields on Tuesday evening of last week.
Up to the time of his departure jim
was employed in Ackerman's livery
barn, after trying for brief spells other
occupations. He drove one of Acker-
mans teams ostensibly down to the
Willow where he announced he purposed
attending a dance, but the journey was
really extended on to Indianola, where
he spent the night, leaving for unknown
parts on the early freight next morning.
Mr.. Alderman had to send to Indianola
for his team, besides was out additional
money, as were others here, it is stated.
Jim is long in body and short in char
acter, with wind works abnormally de-
veloped.

Francis to Go to Chicago.

John Francis, general passenger agent
for the b. & M, is, according to reports
that come from ordinarily reliable rail-
road sources, to be made general passen-
ger agent of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy system, with headquarters at
Chicago. Mr.. Francis is in Denver and
the matter is not being discussed at the
b. q. M. headquarters, but local railroad
men outside of the Burlington offices be-
lieve the report to be true and look for
the change to take effect within a very
short time, possibly not later than July
/. Not only is this report accredited in
Omaha, but Chicago railroad men also
give credence to it. One Chicago official
who was in Omaha on business a few
days ago said:
81 cannot tell definitely, but all signs
point to Mr.. Francis as the general pas
senger agent of the Burlington at Chi
cago. That is the general superstition
in the official circles in Chicago"
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is
without a general passenger agent at
present. Since the acquisition of the
road by James j. Hill, p. S. Eustis,
formerly general passenger agent, has
been promoted to the Office of general
traffic manager, while Darius Miller,
formerly second vice-president of the
Great Northern, was transferred from
st. Paul to Chicago and made general
traffic manager of all the Hill lines. This
vacated the general passenger agency.
Since the abolition of the general ad-
vertising department of the b. q NJ. in
Omaha, which, under Mr.. Francis, did
a vast amount of work for the Chicago
and st. Louis offices, railroad men have
been anticipating some other important
changes. The rumor has been current
for some time that Hillism would be-
come so dominant on the B. & M. as to
have the effect of dong away entirely
with the general passenger agency here
and creating a division passenger agency
instead. The report of Mr. Francis
transfer to Chicago tends to confirm this
rumor and bear out the theory that Hill
proposes to operate his new lines, as far
as possible, from Chicago. The recent
transfer from Lincoln to Chicago of a
large force of clerks is another evidence
of this policy which has so distinctly
characterized all of Mr.. Hills move
ments as to have become known as
"Hillism."
In connection with the report that
Mr.. Francis is to leave Omaha, comes
another report that negotiations are now
on foot for the sale of his handsome
Omaha residence.
John Francis is one of the best known
and recognized as one of the ablest rail
road passenger men of the country. His
long service with the B. & M. has
brought him to the front as an alert, ag-
gressive man and the remarkable strides
which have been made since his incum-
bency have given warrant for the high
standard that has been placed upon his
work. The position for which he is said
to be slated is of course in the nature of
a promotion.-Bee.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This Is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
