Hughes is Succeeded by Bra
den at Norfolk; Retires
on a Pension

General Manager Walters
announces the appointment of
S. NJ. Braden as general super
intendent of all of the North
western lines west of the Mis-
souri, river, with headquarters
at Norfolk, succeeding Charles
c. Hughes, who retires next
Tuesday. The appointment of
Mr.. Braden is effective on that
date. The change was really
made some weeks ago when
Mr.. Braden came to this terri
tory as assistant superintendent
and Mr.. Hughes went away on
a vacation to Texas, to look
after property interests. Still,
it was not operative at that
time, as it was the desire that
Mr.. Hughes should round out
another year in the employ of
the company.
Mr.. Braden, the new general
superintendent, is middle-age
and a thorough railroader, hav-
ing grown up in the business.
He has served as brakeman,
conductor, trainmaster and SUI
perintendent in his time.
Mr.. Hughes, the retiring gen
eral superintendent, has been
with the Northwestern forty
years and retires on a pension
of $3.50 per month. He is a big
hearted man and has a host of
friends all along the line.

Facts about Figure Nine

Mathematician have Jug
gled with the mystic figures 8,
z and 9 for ages, and now
comes a foreign professor Of
the occult science to tell for
tune by "the force in a simple
numeral"- the 9. He reminds
his victims that if they multi
ply any number, short of a
decimal, 9 the two figures of
the prodnct added together will
make 9. Thus: Nine times 2
are Is, and 8 and l are 9; 8
times 3 are27, and 2 and 2 are 9;
9times S are 45, and s and 4 are
9; 9 times 6 are 81, and 4 and S
are 9; 9 times z are 63, and 8
and 6 are 9; 9 times 8 are ~,
and 2 and seven are 9; 9 times
9 are 81, and 1 and 8 are 9.
He might have added that any
number in the hundreds of
of thousands multiplied by 9
will give a product the sum of
whose digits is a multiple of 9.
Take at random-9 times 545
are 1905 the sum of which is
l8, and 9 into 18 goes 2 times.
Take Z. 352 multiplied by
9 equals sc, 158; the sum Of the
digits is q; 9 into q goes 3
times. Oh, there is an inn
mense amount of fun in 9.

Death Of Engineer Bisbee

DeMont L. Blsbee died at his
home in tbs city last evening
at 7:10, death being due to

had to go to bed, from which

vices will be held at TIE l.-s.s
tomorrow afternoon at $3.50,

The deceased was born in East
Pharselia, Chenago County,
New York, September 9TH,
1854. When three years of
age came with his parents to
Bloomington, Iowa, and later
moved to Ames at the age of Is
years. When % years old he
entered the railroad service as
brakeman between Hastings
and Denver. In 1889 he was
married to Minnie L. Reed at
Ashland, Nebraska. To this
union were born four children
as follows: Bessie, Donald,
Vera and Annabelle. Beside
the wife and four children
there are left to mourn their
loss, a mother, two half-broth-
ers and one half-sister in Boone
and a brother in Tuscon, Ari-
iona. A host of railroad men

Married to Spite Relatives

III CIlC dIlSy CJudy.
Married to Spite Relatives
Logan, Ia, Jan. -. If it can
be proved that Margaret Asher
or Margaret Pegg, was the
common law wife of e. w.
Pegg, deceased, late living near
Modale, Ia, she will be entitled
to a one-half interest in the
estate of the deceased Pegg.
So far it has required about
three days to take testimony
in this case, which was brought
by Margaret Asher, or Pegg, as
the name is signed to the petit
ton, the testimony being con-
cluded late Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Asher, as she was COM
monty known, had been keep
ing house for Pegg for a num-
Der of years. Sometime pre-
vious to 1885 the couple were
arrested on charges brought by
neighbors, or relatives, and
Il
they were tried and acquitted.
About that time. when in Lo
gan, as was brought out by the
testimony, they were in the
office of Joe H. Smith, one of
the pioneer lawyers of this
county, and there a marriage
contract was said to have been
made, it being stated in the
plaintiffs testimony that Mr..
Smith said such a contract was
as "good as all the preachers in
the world" BY the woman it
is claimed that this marrying
procedure was taken merely to
deprive those who had them
arrested the pleasure of know
ing they had been married.
In the testimony Of the de-
Tense it was shown that Mrs.
Asher or Mrs. Pegg had worked
for Pegg for a stipulated wage;
THAT she was to have certain
proceeds from the chickens,
COWS, ETC., on the farm; that
she had acquired considerable
property and that all of this
property remained in the name
of Margaret Asher. 1t was
shown that a number of notes,
deeds, mortgages, etc, had been
signed Margaret Asher and
that all transactions were done
in that name.
Perhaps no railroad man on
the old Fremont, Elkhorn and
Missouri Valley railroad were
better known than G. C.
Hughes, who has been put or
the retired list. The railroad
linen of this city are all sorry tt
learn Of his retirement for they
have known him long and ia
vorably. During Mr.. Hughes
term of service the Northwest.
ern has built many miles Of
road and have added many i'm.
movements.

New Logan Lumber Company

New Logan Lumber Company
Logan, la, Jan. 12.-Logan
is to have a new lumber yard.
F. B. Johnson, late manager of
the Finkbine- Guild-Jewett COM
pany's store here, has purchased
a half block just south of the
Observer office and Odd Eel
lows hall, and as soon as the
sheds can be built will begin
shipping inlumber. The Fink
bine-Guild-Jewett company was
a part of the Green Bay Lum-
Der company. 1t was bought
some months ago by some Lo-
gan capitalists.
Following this the H. A.
Quinn Lumber company bought
the Green Bay Lumber stock
and moved it to their yards.
This left Logan with but two
yards, the Quinn and the Farm
ers' Cooperative Lumber COM
pany.
1t is not known who the
other stockholders in the new
yard are, but it is generally
rumored that the Green Bay
company, or some persons con-
nected with that company, are
in the deal.

Church

the Methodist church last night.

You may ask why J. M. Gleissner
is able to guarantee to refund the
money unless Mi-o-na Stomach Tab
lets cure when no other remedy for
stomach troubles is sold in this man
ner.
II the stomach is only given rest
by using a digestive, the muscles soon
become weak, and it is necessary to
continue taking a digestive tablet
after every meal. On the other hand
Mi.o.na used before eating, strength
ems the stomach SO that you will soon
be we'll. enough to give up the use OF
medicine.
Mi-o-na costs but SOC box, and
makes positive and complete cure
The best proof Of its merits is the
guarantee to refund the money ii 1T
does not cure that j. M. Gleissner
gives with every box.
