Applied.

The promotion of w. II. Murray from
chief clerk TO assistant general passenger
agent of the Union Pacific has stirred up
gossip as to other changes and promotions
to be made in the passenger department
OF that company. T.ese promotions, II
reports are to be accredited, WIN be simply
along the line of the Hartman policy in
augurated in the management of the sys-
tenn of railroads and each road individu-
ally, policy that is becoming general
with most railroads.
According to these reports f. L. Lomax
now and for many years general passen-
ger agent, will be made passenger traffic
manager; Gerrttt Fort now and for some
years assistant general passenger agent,
will be general passenger agent and w. H.
Murray just appointed assistant general
passenger agent will be assistant to Mr.
Fort' Also rumor has 1t that Alfred Oar
low dean of advertising agents, will be
given a much broader field of operations:
that in addition to his present duties which
are comprehensive he will be given au-
thority and personal supervision over a
literary bureau to be created
These reports cannot be verified but they
are circulated in Omaha and in Chicago.
Mr. Lomax and Mr.. Fort are both out of
the city just now
Same Thing I'm Freight Omces.
A few years ago a similar change Of this
sort was made in the freight department of
the Union Pacific. j. A. Munroe was made
freight traffic manager, e. II. Wood gem
eral freight agent, c. L. Lane first assist
ant general freight agent and w II. Gar
rett assistant general freight agent, and
this is the system which prevails all along
the Hartman management. So far as its
application to the passenger department Is
concerned II is said to be resorted to at
this time to meet an exigency which can
not otherwise be met. The complicated
AFFAIRS OF the office necessitate the absence
from local headquarters a great deal Of
Messrs. LomaX and Fort, and owing to the
provisions of the new railroad rate law IL
became necessary to have some official in
change of the passenger department higher
in rank than the chief clerk, SO that GER
tain papers might be properly signed. Be-
fore that law was enacted the signature
OF the chief clerk of the passenger depart
ment was sufficient. but the new law IL
more particular about signatures. Mr..
Murray, assistant general passenger agent.

superiors are out of the city and can. as

IT is the ambition of every girl and

dainty satin OF suede slippers in white

beyond the reach Of a moderate al

One thrifty young person, however.

Lace coats and wraps of all sorts

this is done. turn and slit the material
down through the middle. being careful
not to cut the lace. Turn back close
