How People Lose Their Money

By concealing it about their person.
By hiding it in mugs, jugs and rugs,
By sewing it up in stockings and ticks.
BY burying it in cans and putting it any old place
These are some of the ways in which people
sometimes lose their money-and often theirlives.
Having money boarded up in the house encour-
ages robbery, and this ofton results in murder.

At Least Two Places Where He Didn't

craft. the well known florist has her

this blunder and so far as known there
is not even q joint in the block.

PENSIONS FOR ALL.
Old Age Benefits to Go to Women as
Wen as Men.

London. Feb. 15.=While declining to
make rash promises. Premier Camp
bell -Bannerman and Chancellor of
Exchequer Asquith, this morning, de-
clared themselves in entire sympathy
with a deputatfon which called on
them to advocate the establishment of
a national system of old age pensions.
The deputatiOn urges that the scheme
should be comprehensive and include
all citizens, men or women, the money
being found by means of imperial tax
alton.
With former Premier Balfour's for
NAL entry into the ranks of the whole
hoggers," as the hamberlainites have
dubbed the deal, public interest in to-
days meeting of the unionists at Lans-
dOWne house was discounted and little
was left for the Assem- blage to consider
but questions of party organization and
a general plan of campaign The pres
ence of the Duke of Devonshire, former
president of the counsel, however, with
in some quarters as giving promise of
enlivening the proceedings.
From 500 to 500 unionists attended
the meeting which lasted an hour and
a half. No reporters were admitted
but it is known that the proceedings
were amicable. The Duke of Devon
shire, however, showed no disposition
to yield his views on fiscal reform. On
all other questions he will give will
ing support to the party. He regretted
that he had read the cipher dispatch
between Messrs. BalfOur and Chamb ber-
lain, published this morning, indicating
that they have substantially reached
an agreement on this question. The
duke intimated that he would have
to consult with the free foOders of the
party as to their future action. Mr..
Chamberlain also spoke. He declared
that if the Duke of DevOnshire's views
prevailed the majority of the unionist
party would have to submit to the
minority A resolution expressing conf
dence in Mr.. BalfOur was passed.

CHANGE IN DIVISIONS.
Rock Island win Make one More on
FL PasO Line.

From source of undeniable au-
thority it is learned that the officials
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway company have decided on a
radical change in the operation Of the
Ell Paso division of the system, which
will be promulgated within the next
few months and which viii involve the
rearrangements of the intermediate
freight district points between the
terminals of the division. This change
is to be made not only in the interests
of economic operation and the saving
of unusual wear and tear on the mo-
tive power, but also for the benefit of
the train crews on the division. who
under the present conditions are COM
PEELED to be on the road an unreaSon-
able length of time
This division of the road runs from
Herington, Kan, to Santa Rosa, n.
M, q distance of 527 miles, and at
present it is divided into but three
districts. The first runs from Herring
ton to Bucklin, Kan, a distance of 1f1
miles; the next is from Buckin to Dali
hart Tex, a distaWfe Of / SO miles, ana
the third from Da4hart to Santa Rosa,
a distance OF 152 miles. These dis
tances make an average freight run OF
175 miles, which the Ofhclals OF the
road consider manifestly too long. Not
only is it hard on the motive power,
which includes some of the largest
locomotives in the west, to haul heavy
freight trains these distances regularly,
but it is unusually hard on the train
crews, the necessary delays in handling
freight trains keeping them on the
road hours beyond what should be an
ordinary days work
It is proposed to rearrange these
freight districts by the establishment
of a new one, making four on the di-
vision with an average distance be
tween them of about 131 miles. In
establishing this new division point it
will naturally be necessary to change
some of the present division points.
and this will involve a great amount Of
work for at each of the division points
it is necessary to maintain a round
house and yard facilities
It has not been definitely decided as
yet by the officials of the road just
where the new division point viii be
located and where the present ones
will be changed to. They are working
on the details and expect to arrive at
a conclusion before long and they
plan to have the necessary changes
made so that the division viii be ope-
rated in four districts before the end
of the summer.

BAD FOR THE ICE MAN.
Little Likelihood of Securing a Supply
of Natural Product.

According to the statements of the
men who know it viii take a week of
weather with the mercury standing
near the zero mark continually before
ice viii form of sufficient thickness on
the river to Justify the owners of ice
houses to commence filling them There
has not been enough cold weather this
winter to cause the river to freeze solid
at any time and as a result there has
been no natural ice stored.
While the natural ice cut on the KaW
river is but a small portion of the
amount used in Topeka, it has always
been a factor in regulating the price
of the natural product. If the wealth
er should persist in staying as warm as
1t has been all this winter, no ice will
be stored and a raise in the price Of
the artificial product may be expected
The river at the present time is filed
with floating ice, and a thin coat OF
murky muddy ice has been formed
where there is no current and the Wa
ter is shallow. When the mercury
drops several degrees below zero the
cold causes the dirt and filth in the va
ter to be precipitated and the ice is
of the pure crystal variety, With the
mercury at ten degrees below zero all
of the sediment in the water would sink
to the bottom of the river. while the
water would CONCEAL and ice form at
the rate Of an inch an hour for the
first five hours and about half as fast
for the next succeeding twenty-four
hours.
