Illinois Central Promotions,

Manchester people will be pleased
to learn that Capt. j. T. Merry will
remove his Offices to this place from
Dubuque about July 18th. The
traffic department Of the Illinois
Central railroad has been reorga-
nized and Mr.. Merry's duties will
in the future be of a more general
and broader nature, as elfecting that
system He has been relieved Of
the local, detail work and the change
will allow him to maintain his Off
ces and Office force at home. His
new work will be more in accord
ance with his taste and carries with
it an increase Of salary. Mr.. Merry
is to be congratulated upon receiv-
ing this latest recognition Of his
ability and usefulness, from the
company for which he has labored
the best years of his life.
The reorganization of the traffic
department carries with it many
changes. I. j. Hudson, formerly
traffic manager, is to be general
traffic manager, the position of
traffic manager having been abol-
ished. F. B. Bowes, formerly
J assistant traffic manager, is to be
freight traffic manager, the position
of assistant traffic manager having
been abolished.
A. Fl. Hanson, formerly general
passenger agent. is to be passenger
traffic manager, and S. G. Hatch,
formerly assistant general passenger
agent, is to be passenger agent to
succeed Mr.. Hanson.
The position of general traffic
manager and of passenger traffic
manager are new to this system. In
creating the position of passenger
trallic manager the company has
raised its passenger chief to the
grade, with respect to title, that is
now held by the heads Of the pas
senger departments of many of the
large railroads. Mr.. Hanson has
been with the Illinois Central fol
thirty-six years. He began his
career as freight claim agent for the
Illinois Central and later went tt
the passenger department. In 1886
he was made general passenger
agent and ever since has been at the
head OF the roads passenger affairs
Mr.. Hatch has been with the roac
since 1896. Mr.. Hudson has beer
with the company since 1877 anc
has been traffic manager since 1887
When Mr.. Hanson became genera
passenger agent on August l, 1880
MIR. Bowes, who is made freight
traffic manager, was his stenog
rapher. Now Mr.. Bowes is at thu
head Of the freight department o
the road, while Mr.. Hanson is a
the head Of the passenger depart
ment. Capt. Merry entered tn,
} employ OF the Illinois Central abou
: the same time. On August | o
this year he will have served
!. quarter Of a century with the Cen
! trail. On August l, 1880, whel
Mr.. Hanson was made general pas
senger agent, he wired Mr.. Merry
who was then in the mercantil
business at this place, Offering hir
a position as excursion agent. M
Merry accepted the offer and wen
to work the same day and has bee

the ever-increasing ratio at which it grows he is
well on his way upward
Surprising then, that you have saved your first
hundred dollars, what are you to do? Your first
idea may be the stock-narket, because you are
familiar with its rapid increase in values and possibly
of how Jay Gould, by deal in Erie or
other stocks, made fortune at a bound. The
stock-market however, is the worst proposition
that you possibly could entertain 1t probably is
safe to say that where Jay Gould has succeeded
in it. ten thousand, if not hundred thousand, men
have lost their all. The chances against you,
therefore, are ten thousand, if not a hundred
thousand to one. Moreover, the first, the most
vital and the lasting lesson for you to learn is
that of safe investment. A safe investment will
give you only a reasonable return for your money.
Any return in excess of this means danger. And
the greatest danger is that you will not learn early
to be conservative. Without this you may struggle
all your life, and make and earn much without being
able to keep it. Whatever your fortune, you never
will be safe at any time The number of men who
have had thousands and lost them is much greater
than the number of those who have been wise
enough to keep them-the millionaires of whom you
have heard and know
Before you invest your hundred your five
hundred, ask the advice of some friend whose ex-
perience puts him in position to advise wisely.
But whatever his advice, whether he be your en-
ployer, friend a stranger to you who justly
holds the confidence of the investing public,
anime the investment carefully yourself. 1t is
your own investment, and you yourself should I'M
derstand it in ali its bearings And the study of
investment is a long study which you cannot begin
too early follow too thoroughly whenever you
have the opportunity. Above all, distrust specu-
ators and speculation of ali kinds. 1t not only will
lose for you your first little capital but also lead
you into a way and a view of things from which
you never after may be able to escape.
