into the yard man ran out of a shed.

The three men chased this man as far
as the woods but were unable to catch
him because of the darkness.
This is the fourth inccndiary fire in
this immediate vicinity since June IL.
The first fire occurred at the Center

AIR. BI.ACK,s PROMOTTON.

While anticipated for some time, the
announcement of the appointment Of W.
J. Black as passenger traffic manager
of the entire Santa Fe system is re-
ceived in Topeka with a great deal of
interest. For while Mr.. Blacks friends
are glad to see him move up in railroad
circles, the change takes him away from
Topeka and Kansas where he has made
his home for many years.
Jerry" Black, as he is Familiarity
known in Kansas, like many another
high railroad man, has worked his way
up. Although still comparatively young
he advanced through various minor
clerkships in the Santa FEES passenger
department until, in 1897, he became
general passenger agent for the Santa Fe
proper In that position he has been
extremely successful in getting business
for his road, and he now takes charge
of the passenger business of the entire
system from Chicago to the Gulf and to
San Francisco.
With the promotion of Mr.. Black
come a number Of other changes in the
Santa FEES passenger department. Mr..
Blacks successor, James NJ. ConneH,
comes to Topeka from the Chicago end
Of the road. but he win have for his as
sistant Mr.. e. J. Shakeshaft, who is
promoted from the chief clerkship in
the passenger department to be assist
ant general passenger agent.
Another change which may mean
much to the Southwest in general is the
appointment of Charles L. seagraves
as colonization agent. The Santa Fe.
under the direction of its new third vice
president, George T. Nicholson, will put
forth renewed efforts to induce coIoniz-
alton in its territory. and this will be
Mr.. Seagraves' work. He has been a
travelling passenger agent of the Santa
F'e for a number of. years, and recently
he has been making a special study of
conditions in the Southwest, SO he is
specially fitted for his new work

FAMILY AFFATR.

The revelations concerning the big
life insurance companies in New York
show that those who controlled them
had marvellous powers at getting their
relatives onto the pay roll in fat jobs.
President McCurdy Of the Mutual
seems to have done less OF this than
either President Alexander of the
Equitable or President Mccall of the
New York Life, possibly because he did
not have enough relatives to go around.
but he evidently made up for it by seeing
that the. Few relatives he did have in
the company all got big commissions.

GLOBE SIGHTS.

LFrom the Atchison Globe.1
You really ought to know some
things. If you do not, you will be
laughed at.
If a certain merchant in Atchison
ever does any business, no one ever
caught him at it.
We have often wondered if there
is anything in the average statement
that the police are making a diigent
search.
There is one thing dead sure: Chill
dren are not going to love their par
ents more through being reminded
that their parents always kept them
in food and clothing.
When a woman goes away on a va
cation and finds her husband thinner
upon her return, she regards every
pound he lost as a pound of testi-
monial of her cooking
You probably spend considerable
time abusing a citizen you do not
like. What good does it do your It
makes you feel uncomfortable and
the chances are it has no effect what
ever on the success Of the one you
abuse.
Somehow an old sour woman is
worse than an old sour man. An old
sour man will keep out of your way,
but a disagreeabIe old woman takes
delight in planting herself in a pub
lie place and talking in a voice that
sounds like the quack, quacks quaek
of a duck.

dren too many.
It is stated that Atchison gained in

actually declares that he knows that
Nicholas II. is a most commonplace
man, standing lower than the average
level ecoarsely superstitiOus and unen-
lightened. But Count TOlstoi has never
met the emperor. He knows nothing
about him, except from hearsay. If
he had met him he would have been
the first to admit that he had caluTn-
mated his sovereign. The late Mr.. r.
W. Hollis, who was received by the en-

me that he was astOunded to find the

Count Heyden, who formed one of the

no secret of his surprise on meeting
the Gar to find him so intelligent, so

A similar revelation awaited the

In the second place, instead of finding
the weak, nervous. irritable creature
broken down by threats of assassina-
ton, menace of revolution, and the ter
rible disasters of war, he found a man
in perfect health, whose composure
