Effective October 1, B. H. Harris,
freight traffic manager of the Chicag
Cincinnati & Louisville railroad, leaves
the service of that company to become
traffic manager of the Illinois, Iowa K
Minnesota railway, the new Chicago
Inter-line Belt road.
On May 1. 1902. Mr.. Harris left the
service Of the Chicago & Eastern Hi
nois to become assistant general
freight agent of the old Cincinnati,
Cincinnati & Louisville railroad.) ON
August 1. 1903. he was appointed gen.
eral freight agent, and on July 1, 1904.
freight traffic manager. His success in
building up the traffic OF the Chicago,
Cincinnati & Louisville railroad is re-
markable. for with a new road he was
obliged to compete with the old. estab-
lshed lines for the highly competitive
gas belt and through Chicago and Ohio
river traffic.
He has devoted much of his time to
actual pioneer work, and through his
energy and tenacity of purpose has &C
complished splendid results.
Mr.. Harris is a thorough railroad
man, and a firm believer in and a
strong advocate of close team work
between the operating and traffic de-
partmentS-
He has established on the c. c. & L
an esprit de corps that is incompar-
able.
His work with the new belt line will
be largely that of laying the founda-
ton for and the characterization of the
traffic that is to follow the completion
of the line. and he is looked upon as
the right man for the place"
His headquarters viii be in Chicago
at which point he first began IIls rail-
road career as q messenger boy in the
freight yards of the Chicago & Alton
railroad

tackle, which is already being hotiy
contested for. Washburn can go into
its games this year without feeling that
its future success depends wholly on
getting out without injuring any play
ers.
The result of the 60 game between K.
u. and College. of Emporia Saturday is
something of a puzzler to eWashburn
football crowd. 1t was generally ex-
pected that X L. would pile up a
mucn larger score than that and it is
taken to indicate one of two things:
either that X. U. was trying to conceal
its strength. or that the College of En-
poria has a much more powerful team
than anybody has thought it had.

Washburn and Emporia viii be watched

The Man Who Wrote "DIxie. /"

|
The man who wrote Dixie"
is dead. An old-time minstrel,
lie passed away at his home in
Mount Vernon, Ohio, at the ripe
age of SO.
1t is not known whether Dan
Emmett ever composed anything
else or not, but if he did it was
lost in the tumultuous acclamc
that greeted the stirring notes
Of "DiXie" from one end of the
Union to the other.
1t is true that there wasa time
when the band that was bold
enough to play Dixie" in GER
tain northern cities would have
been greeted with the kind of
applause that meant battered
horns and broken noses. But
these times have changed. Now
when the band suddenly swings
into Dixie" North or South, it
is t h e signal for vociferous
cheering. 1t fires the heart and
arouses an audience to the high
est pitch of enthusiasm wher-
ever played. None can resist
it's music or its sentiment. 1t
goes along with "Union Forev-
err and "The Star-Spangled
Banner.
1t was the marching music for
the Confederate armies of the
South. 1t quickened the step
and thrilled the heart of the
weary and battered follower of
Lee. Nothing could better IL
Illustrate the passing of all sec
tional bitterness and hate than
cheers that are given to Dixie"
by a northern audience. The
voice of the minstrel is still but
