were asked last night to throw light
upon the whereabouts of Mrs. Meal.

from a ~west-bound train here a few
days ago and sent to Denver. She

S. B. Miller, who took her to Chey-
enne, where he placed her in charge
of the conductor of the Denver-bound
train, with instructions to make an
effort to find her people there. 1t

tailed to show up there. DR.. Miller
says the woman first said her name
was Rawlins. afterwards claiming that
it was McAllister, and that she was 60
ing to Denver to become the bride of
Mr.. Rawlins. The doctor knows moth
ing more of the case, having heard
nothing since he returned from Chey-
enne.

Says Time Has Passed When Official
Can Feel That He Is About All
There Is Of Railroadine-Fast
Train Strikes and Demolishes
Handcar-News Of the Rail.

Assistant Superintendent A. F. Wick
Roy of the Wyoming division, n of
the brightest railroad men in the west,
was here this morning, meeting a num-
Der of the local employees at Trainmas-
ter Let's office. Mr.. Wick Roy stated
to a reporter for The Republican that
so far since his appointment he had
made more effort to get acquainted
with the men thar with the business,
leaving the latter to the officials of
the division.
Changes Taking Place.
"The time when there was a great
gulf between the official and employe
of a railroad has passed." he said,
1.-THE official likes to mingle with the
mcn-likes to call them Bill and
Tom and Jerry, and likes to know
them when he sees them. He is nc

worship of the men wro draw the throt
tie open, who WELD the shovel, who
twist the brake and who point the

closer he gets to them the better ser
vice he can exact from them.
The New Section Boss.
"One remembers the story Of the
new section boss, who had been a
section hand so long and whose pro-
motion came between the quitting
hour of one day and the beginning of
the next, that it is little wonder he
was somewhat swelled up. He ap'
peared on the scene of the labors OF
the gang the morning after his promo
ton. He was a little late. The men
were gathered about the car, and
when he came swinging down the bank
from the section house they looked al
him with a certain amount of defer
ence.

Secretary Root made public the cor

month ago Cuban President Palma saw
the hopelessness of the situation and
determined to resign.
United States Notified Early.
Palma notified the United States the
first week in September, and on the
14th he determined to abandon his
position. The correspondence shows
that the United States was most re-
luctant to intervene and tried to stave

SOME PHASES OF
NEW FOOTBALL RULES

NEW FoS oH|I nSH@S'
The most puzzling feature of the re-
formed football game will be the for
ward pass. Until this year to pass
the ball forward meant a penalty of
five yards, and this idea is so grounded
in the minds of all football men that
it will not be readily dismissed. 1t is
doubtful on that account if the play
will be used to any extent at first. Fur
thermore, the forward pass will re
quire much practice before it can be
used successfully.
Another radical change, but one
which will be easily remembered, /:
the ten-yard rule, requiring a team t.
advance that distance in three downs
to retain possession of the ball. The
principal effect of this will be to force
the players to attempt end runs o.
passes more frequently than in pas
years when the five-yard rule was IL
vogue. 1t will take time to become ia
miliar with the multiplicity of othe
rules, but they are not SO radical a.
the two mentioned.

steal numbers and speeches in the au-
| ditorium of the Carnegie library, to be

Messrs. Hasenkamp and Berner was
appointed to see that a piano was pro-
vided for the music down stairs.
Educating the Child.
N. E. Corthell gave a most interest
ing talk upon "The Education of the
Child" starting with the theory that
two aspects are presented; that edu-
cation should consist of a process of
expression, not of impression, and that
the aim of the instructors should be
to develop culture n not mere knowl-
edge. In a practical way, Mr.. Cor
thell said that parents and teachers
may be divided into two classes, one
leaning toward the task of making the
child a copy of themselves, to impress
themselves upon the child; the other
attempting to cultivate the mind of
the child, but often only succeeding in
filling its minds with facts which are
positively detrimental to growth.
Much Depends Upon Home Life.
Other speakers upon the subject
were George Campbell, w. H. Frazee.
DR.. Quaintance and Rev. Walton. Mr..
Frazee sadi that perhaps the most i'm
portant part of the child's education
deepened upon the home and the
parents. The children are too often
left to spend their time upon the
streets while the parents are engaged
in finding amusements or attending
to business.
Church Unification.
Rev. Mr.. Walton read an instructive
paper upon THE Unification of the
Protestant Churches" taking the
ground that the tendencies of the time
pointed to the reunion of the various
sects which have split from the main
church without losing its fundamental
principles. He mentioned a number
of ways in which the %unifcation is 60
ing on at the present time, notably the
union of the churches in the mission.
airy fields and the union of the two
great divisions of the Presbyterian
church.
Speaking upon the same subject
were ]. T. Holiday, A. N. Hasenkamp
DR.. Quaintance and Louis Tyvold.
