RaiIroadIno In Winter.

T have often been asked the question Why do passenger trains run late in | the winter time? said travelin- man last night. Now that is to me a hard question to answer, and although I my self have asked hundreds of rallro Il men the same question I have never yet been thoroughly convinced as to the exact cause or causes.
 Some of them will tell you that it is because the trains are often blocked by snow or sleet. You then ask why it is trains from the south, where there is not enough snow and sleet to hinder traffic, run late. There are really many causes to delay passenger trains il win ter though. One thing is that people do not get off and on as fast in cold weather and baggage and express men cannot handse their stuff as rapidly in the win ter. And another thing engines do not steam up as well iE cold weather as they do in the summer.
 Thus you see there are really various reasons why trains run behind time in winter"

HAD A FAMILY ROW.
Then Dewar Lumber Company 1t Put
in Receivers Hands.

John w. Newell, of the firm of Ros-
sington, Smith & West has been ap-
pointed receiver for the GSewar Lumber
company, a Topeka concern which has
been in business in this city for about a
year. The appointment was made Fri
day by Judge Dana, and Mr.. Newell
at once filed $500 bond and took pos
session of all the company's property.
Apparently the Dewar company has
been doing good business in this city,
and its present difficulty is due to a
family row. c. H. Dewar, one of the
owners of the plant. became dissatisfi
run by his brother. John DeWar. who
was secretary of the company and
manager of the plant. "A meeting of
the stockholders of the company was
held, without legal notice having been
given, it is said, and John Dewar was
voted out of office. c. V. Dewar, a son
of c. H. Dewar, was elected to succeed
him. John DeWar refused to turn over
possession of the accounts, books and
papers belonging to the institution, and
it was impossible for the company to
proceed with it's business without the
records. This mix-uD occurred about
a month ago, since which time, the
plant has been shut down.
Learning that the company was en-
gagged in internal dissentions. the New
England bank of Kansas City which
held the paper of the company to the
extent of about $1,000, threw the matter
lIllO Ine courts. ana asked Tor the an
pointment of a receiver, which request
was granted by Judge Dana. There are
said to be a few other claims against
the property besides that of the New
England bank. It is likely that the diff
ficulties viii be Strengthened out, and
the plant will ultimately resume opera
tions.
1t is believed that the company is
solvent, and it is known that it has
been doing a very satisfactory business
for new concern. It leased a tract of
land from c. K Holiday near the
Sixth street viaduct, and erected a saw
mill for the purpose ofaconverting into
lumber the native scottorw aud wall
nut from along the KaW valley. The
company has had agents out along the
river for so miles buying up cottonwood
and walnut logs. which have been ship
ped here for saving. In the yards of
the company, ~there is a large quantity
of fine lumber, ready for the market,
besides a, great deal of material ready
for the mill. Cottonwood and walnut
timber commands a good price on the
market The principal asset of the
company is its supply of lumber.
AS soon as the receiver was appoint
ed, John Dewar, the old secretary.
turned over to him all the property of
the company in his possession. The
plant will probably not be operated un-
til the present difficulties are settled.

HORSES LOST.
Fire at Kincaid Destroyed Livery
Barn and Contents.

Garnett. Kan. March 25.-The lit
tie town of Kincaid, twenty miles
southeast of here, suffered a severe
loss from fire at an early hour this
morning. A livery barn with all its
contents. and several other buildings
were burned.
The fire was discovered at 1880 this
morning, but when discovered it was
too far advanced to be controlled. It
is supposed to have been of incendiary
origin.
In the livery barn were fifteen head
of horses, all of which burned along
with other property. The barn be-
longed to Theodore Hutton. The
building itself was valued at $500 ard
was insured for $500, but the horses
and other property were uninsured.
DR.. Jackson's office, with its con-
tents. was also destroyed The loss on
the building is $4OO and on the doc
tors library is $1.5O0. A blacksmith
shop owned by John Hare was burned
with loss of $4OO, and a building
belonging to L. S. Kempton was also
destroyed.

Phillipsburg Editor to Be Bank
Commissioner.
BREAK WITH STUBRS.
Lawrence Boss Said Drop Him

Governor Tells Him He Won't

Had Induced Royce to Accept
Private Secretaryship.

John Q. Royce is to be named bank
commissioner by Governor Hoch today
at least the governor has made that
announcement to his friends though he
has not made the appointment public.
The politicians are vainly trying to pre-
vent such an action but up to a late
hour this afternoon Governor Hoch has
stood firm in his intention to make
Royce bank commissioner. Unless the
men who are supposed to be closest to
the administration prevail and Cover
nor FIoch changes his mind the public
announcement of Royce's appointment
will be made this evening.
The appointment of Mr.. Royce in
dicates an open breach between Gov
ernor Hoch and Mr.. Stubbs and Mr..
Dolley.
Mr.. Royce wanted to be bank COM
missioner. He was opposed by J. R.
Burrow, secretary of state, Mr.. Stubbs.
Mr.. Dolley, and others. Governor
Hoch placed the situation before
Royce and explained that it would
greatly embarrass him to appoint him
bank commissioner. Governor Hoeh
then asked Royce to become his pri-
vate secretary. Mr.. Royce finally
agreed to this.
Things moved smoothly until last
evening" WAASn oL0bbS SdAS0 OAA
Governor Hoch and was told of the
governors decision about Royce.
Then the storm broke.
Stubbs lost his temper, told Gov
ernor Hoch that Royce should not be
appointed; that if he was given any
appointment all would be at an end
between them.
This is where Governor Hoch got his
back up He has never approved of
the idea of being d rubber stamp
governor. Therefore when these threats
were made he said: Gentlemen, if
that's the. way you feel about it II
just appoint Mr.. Royce bank commits
sioner.'
John @. Royce is the editor Of the
Phillipsburg Dispatch and is one of the
best known editors of Kansas Up in
the Sixth district he has been the po-
litical hacker and manager for Con
began to run for congress. He has also
been a warm personal friend of Cover
nor Eoch for years, and when Mr.. -Hoch
ran for state printer in the Legislature
of 1908 Royce came to Topeka and did
everything possible to help him. And
he had a great deal of influence. as he
was on intimate terms with the powers
that were in control at that time.
When Mr.. Hoch was drafted" to
run for governor against Governor
Bailey, Royce was placed between two
admirer of Bailey for a long time and
had always supported him. When
Hoch became a bona hde candidate,
however, Royce severed the political
affiliations of a decade and lined up
for Hoch, and this added largely to
the strength of the opposition to
Bailey.

FISHER GOES BACK.
Veteran Official Succeeds Capt. Titus
in Land Office,

George W. Fisher, former register
of the Topeka land office by appoint
ment from VIM. Mckinley in 1900, has
been selected as successor to Capt. c.
III. Titus who has resigned the office
of register to accept the position of
election commissioner of the city of
Topeka.
Mr.. Fisher was recommended for
the place by Congressman Charles
Curtis. 1t is interesting to observe in
this connection, that Senator ]. Ralph
Burton had nothing to do with the
matter, in spite of the fact that the
job is supposed to be part of the sena-
torial patronage. With Burton out
of the game and ignored, Senator Long
decided not to interfere with the
affair, but left it in the hands of Con-
gresham Curtis. 1t is remarkable
state of affairs when a senator con-
tinues to draw pay for holding a po-
sition in which he is so discredited
that he can not even recommend the
appointment of a minor officer like
that of register of land Office.
George Fisher, the new appointee,
is an old soldier, and was in full
charge of the land office before the
change was made which placed both
a receiver and register in charge. He
is thoroughly familiar with the duties
of the position, and the appointment
