TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND RAIL.
WAY EMPLOYEES ASK AN IN

MANAGERS ANTICIPATE NO TROUBLE
GAY EXISTING DIFFERENCES ARE
CAPABLE OF SATISFACTORY
ADJUSTMENT.

New York, Oct. 25.-News has been
received In Wall street that formal
demands for increased wages and
shorter hours had been made upon
the management by the engineers.
firemen and switchmen on the Rock
Island and Frisco railway systems,
both of which are controlled by the
Rock Island company. Similar de-
mands, it was said, had been made by
the men on a number of the other
large Western systems. 1t was stated
that ultimately a total OF $4,000 men
employed on the railroads in the West
will demand increased pay or shorter
hours, or both.
Railroad officials were inclined TO
take hopeful view of the situation,
saying that the attitude of the men Is
entirely amicable and that there is no
indication of the likelihood Of any hot
headed action. A representative OF
the Rock Island system was inclined
to make light of the report that the
management of that and other roads
were troubled over the outlook. The
present demand of the men, he said,
is only one of the similar demands
which are made from time to time
and which are capable OF satisfactory
adjustment between the employees and
the officials of the road.
Some of the railroad officials said
the report of big earnings and the
declaration Of increased dividends was
probably responsible for the agitation

UNIVERSAL POSTAGE STAMP.
The Question viii be Discussed at Postal
Congress Which Meets at Rome
April 5.

New York. Captain NJ. n.
Brooks, superintendent Of foreign
mails in the postofice department,
and Edward Rosewater. proprietor
of the Omaha Bee sailed in the
Lorraine for Havre yesterday as
this country's delegates to the
universal postal congress, which
will open in Rome on April 5. Mr..
Rosewater was also delegate to
the congress of 1896, held in
Washington. One of the questions
which will probably be considered
is the adoption Of a universal postal
stamp. Mr.. Rosewater is opposed
to the plan, on the grounds that
as the stamps would be alike, ii
would be impossible to strike
balance, for there would be no way
of telling where the stamps had
been purchased.
One thing which will come up
for action" he said, will be an
increase IN the weight of letter
carried by Scent stamp is one
half ounce. This limit will prob
ably be increased by the congress.
Two other matters to be considered
are the parcel post and the perfect
ing of the international money
order system,

Belief in Self.

Has disappointment come to you?
Have you failed in what you
had most set your heart on?
Did you rely upon some ones
promise, only to find it broken?
Have you lost faith in those you
trusted most?
Well, if so, don't be downcast;
don't give up; don't lose faith.
There is but one question, after
all, which is really vital to you-
do you believe in yourself?
What if you are in hard luck, or
poor and shabby? The old clothes
and the back street are a pro-
lection. Many a good work has
been ruined because a man was too
rich to keep a level head.
Great thoughts and great deeds
must have darkness and time to
develop.
A poor farmer boy in Norway
dreamed of America, the land of
promise. His dream ripened into
ambition; he borrowed money for
his passage and arrived in Madison
Wis, penniless and among stran-
gers. He knew scarcely a word of
English. But language is not the
best means of expression. He
made himself understood through
his work. He lived so wisely that
no matter how small his wages, he
always saved little Not did he
waste his energies and weaken his
spirit by pining for what he could
not nave; but little by little, then
with longer strides, he pushed his
way up out of poverty and obscur-
ity. Today he is governor of Wis
consin.
Every step upward in this SPLEEN
did march was based on belief in
self.
Don't begrudge your years of
poverty and struggle; they are the
! years in which you give no energy
and thought to making a show;
and in which the best there is in
you is growing stronger than the
obstacles in your path, stronger
than the limitations that shut you
in.-From the Memphis News

IRON INDUSTRY.
In Texas Demonstrated to Be success
Saws GoVernor-VaIuable Object Les
son To Capital Seeking DeveI.
Opment

The following dispatch from
Austin should interest people III
all parts of Texas:
Gov. Lanham returned today
from Rusk, where he made a care
sui inspection and investigation of
the State iron industry which is
operated under the auspices of the
penitentiary system. He is en-
thusiastic over the success of the
future.
The furnace is now running
night and day, he said. and is
producing 100 tons of pig every
twenty-four hours. The pipe fac
tory is producing thirty tons of
pipe iron daily. and this capacity
is to be doubled within the. next
two or three months. The machin
cry in operation is all of the most
modern design and the industry is
being carried on in the most ap
proved and high class manner.
The experiment of using coke
instead of charcoal for smelling
purposes in the furnace has proved
4 great success. 1t is cheaper than
charcoal and its use is much more
satisfactory than the former The
fuel problem, which was always a
bagaboo to the development of the
iron industry of Texas has been
solved, so far as Rusk is concern
ed.
The successful operation of the
iron furnace and pipe factory at
Rusk should be a most important
and valuable object lesson to the
people of Texas and the outside
world. It should cause the invest
1nent in Texas of large sums of
money in similar enterprises for
ahe utilization of the iron ores of
East Texas and OF the Llano field.
That the business can be conduct
cd proftably aud satisfactorily has
been fully demonstrated in the OPP
Grafton of the furnace at Rusk
under the auspices of the State. 1
believe that great general good in
the matter of developing these
latent resources of the State will
result from the practical demon
stration which is now being given
at Rusk.

By her repeated visitations Mrs.
Money has come into close contact
with every district and community
and has an understanding OF the cir
cumstanccs and needs of each locali-
ty and school as no one new to the
office could possibly attain without
great effort and lapse of time.
We do not believe any friend OF the
public schools who regards the school
interests as they should be regarded,
as separate from and paramount to
any mere political interest, will de-
sire or see any advantage in having
any change in the superintendent this
year OF grace. .
For the advantage and benefit OF
those coming into the county since
the last election we print a brief
sketch OF her life. .
Mrs. Carrie E. Money is native OF
the state of New York. and received
her grammar school education in the
public schools of Delphi, in that state.
Later she took high school course
at Clcrmont, Iowa and after teaching
six years, FIVE years in one position at
Postville, Iowa, she resigned and
school of Winona, MINI. and two
years at Cornell College, Mt. Vernon,
Iowa, graduating from both the aca-
dcmic and normal departments of the
latter institution. She then taught
several terms in the Mt Vernon,
Iowa high school and in all has had
nine years actual experience teaching,
two years in rural schools and seven
in graded and high schools. -,
She was married June 81, 1894 to
Rev. Kenneth Money and was asso-
ciated with him in his public work in
various churches in Iowa and Colo
RADIO until three years ago, when Mr..
Moneys health became so poor as to
compel him to give up his ministerial
work.
During these years, however, Mrs.
Money did not lose interest or get
out of touch with the educational pro-
fcssion but remained staunch Sup
porter OF the schools wherever they
have lived and during their residence
at La Junta Mrs. Money took an eS-
tended course of instruction in Kin
dergarten work under the direction of
the director of the kindergarten OF
the La Junta schools.
When Mrs. Money was elected to
the position of county superintendent
of schools two years ago, those who
knew her best predicted that she
would make an ideal superintendent,
and she has certainly made good, as
the saying goes. Immediately on her
election Mrs. Money gave herself en-
thusiae':cally and unstintedly to the
