BIT OF PERSONAL HISTORY.
Something About ]. A. Stewart, the
Rock Island "a. A. P. D." Man.

Rock Island "a. A. P. D." Man.
The Kansas City Journal prints I
bit Of personal history concerning
J. A. Stewart, who was a clerk in the
Union Pacific depot here, but who
was lately appointed general agent
Of the passenger department of the
Rock Island. The article follows
-. A. Stewart, the new G. A. P. D.
or general agent passenger depart
ment OF the Rock Island with head
quarters here, as one OF the many ex.
amples Of railroad men who have
risen by their own efforts and hard
untiring labor. He is still young,
all railroad men are, and entered the
service in his liie's work in 1881 as a
messenger for the Great Western road
ct St. Thomas, Ont. He not only did
this work, but spent his odd moments
learning The routine duties Of ticket
clerk and was soon promoted to this
Office, serving with the Great Western
in this capacity until 1885, when he
went to the Union Pacific. He was
sent to Abilene, Kansas, as freight
clerk and was stationed there for one
and one-hali years, when he was sent
to Salina as chief olerk, where he re.
NAMED until 1888. In May Of that
year he left the Union Pacific and
entered the service Of the Rock Island
as ticket seller on Union avenue.
From that time on his rise was rapid.
"In May, 1892. he was promoted
to the position Of travelling passenger
agent with headquarters in Chicago
and less than year later, February,
1898, he was sent to Pittsburg, Pa,
In the same capacity, but with larger
territory. In August Of the same
year he was again promoted and sent
to this city. He remained here until
February, 1894, when he went to Des
Moines, Ia, as city passenger and
ticket agent, remaining there until
April. 1901, when he was again sent
here to succeed A. H. Moffette, as
district passenger agent. This posi-
ton was held until July /, when the
position Of assistant general passenger
agent was abolished on the resigna-
ton OF E. W. Thompson and Mr..
Stewart was made general agent pas
senger department.
"Mr. Stewards new position has
larger functions than those Of assis-
tant general passenger agent and his
are greater. His ter.
ritory embraces Missouri Except St.
Louis), Kansas, Oklahoma and the
Indian Territory"

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities They have dis
PEELED the silly rotion that one kind
of food is needed for brain, another
for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only
nourish particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, it's nutriment is destroyed
by indigestion or dyspepsia. You
must prepare for their appearance
or prevent their coming by taking
regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifies the blood,
and makes you feel buoyant and Wig
orous. You can get this reliable re-
medy at Frost & Spies. Price 25c
and 75c.

CLEAN UP YOUR PROPERTY.


THE accumulations of the past
winter should be gotten rid of
without delay. While the work
of cleaning up premises is going
on in certain locations of the city,
there should be a movement to
make it general, and to miss no
piece of property where there
are accumulations or filth that
is liable to prove a menace to
the public health or an eye-sore
to the beauty of the place. Wash
burn ought to come to the front
as a neat city, and it never had a
better chance than this year, just
at a time when for the first time
in the history of fireplace horses,
cattle and swine are to be kept
off the public streets. 1t seems
TO have become sort of general
habit for many people to duLlp
their ashes in the cutters and in
the public streets, to drop few
old sleds or bobs around the side
of the road, and even the town of
Washburn- that is the official
part. seems to have fallen by the
waysi1e along with the rest, and
is using the streets for wood
piles that are hideous to the
sight Ifeveryone will take hold
of the movement there is no
reason why we cannot have a
good clean and healthy city this
year. Possibly the health officer
may get around and see you, and
possibly you may only read one
Of his printed cards posted on a
telephone pole. But that makes
no difference-it ought to be a
matter of personal pride to every
one to clean up about their
premises whether they are told
to do so or not. Get a movement
on you and your part towards
cleaning up the town.
TIE proposition of the Assem-
bly, conferees to submit the en-
tire question of Primary election
to the voters in the spring of
1904, was fair in every sense,
an while The TINES never has
favored primary elections, we
can see Of no logical reason why
the proposition should not have
been accepted. Opponents of
primary election have no right
to go beyond the moral rights Of
the people and the Assembly
proposition was intended to get
the matter before the people be-
fore the next general election.
which was eminently proper. If
adopted it would have given an
opportunity for a straightfor-
ward expression of sentiment
upon the question and if the vo-
tiers in such a manner voted to
accept it, then the opposition to
primary elections would have
been wiped out. The Senate
has no right to say that the will
will Of the people shall not be ex-
pressed. It was the senate that
first proposed the referendum,
wishing to put it into execution
the fall of 1904. How anyone
could favor a referendum for the
fall of 1904 and oppose it for the
spring of 1904 is beyond us?
A REMARKABLE instance of a

varies with the hour, has enlist

His periods of service have
varied from few hours to sew

veal the fact that the man has
