Number of Rumors.
A number of rumors have been GO
ing the rounds lately in regard to the
probabl appointee. Most of these
have emanated from Quincy, and have
suggested the names Of Mr. Bracken
of Brookfield, j. Russell of Aurora,
Robert Rice, of Hannibal and s. HI.
Shuts of this city.
that w. s. Kirby Of Ottumwa would
be the successor of Mr.. Mulhern.
These rumors, however, were made to
vanish by the announcement received
here this morning.
Mr.. Bracken for the past several
months has been superintendent of
the lines running out of Brookfield,
with headquarters at Brookf1eld. He
succeeded to the vacancy created by
the transfer of ]. Russell to Aurora.
It Is probable that still further chang
es will be made, but lust what these
will be has not been given out. In
Brookfield Mr. Bracken is regarded
as a capable official. and one has tho
best interests of the service at heart.
Mr. Mulhern and Mr.. Bracken are
now down on the Quincy branch. They
went to Quincy a couple Of days age.
They are making the return trip on
a motor car to inspect the lines, and
Mr.. MuIhern is acquainting his sue
cessor with conditions on this divl-
sion, Mr.. Bracken will arrive in
Galesburg during the day, and will
place himself In touch with the local
offices and those who are to be his
associates here.
A Double Track.
While Mr.. Mulhern was in Quincy
he gave out the information that
within a year or eighteen months,
there would be double track from
Galesburg to BUSHNELL and within
four years the double track will reach
the Gem City. Mr.. Mulhern saws that
the company expected to build the
| double track this summer, but owing
to the recent money stringency and
the resultant poor business, it was
decided to postpone this work until
next summer.

Carrier Pigeons Released
 Hope, April 6--Citizens of Hope and vicinity witnessed an unus- ual sight at o'clock this morn ing when 1O4 homing pigeons, long-distance carriers. were re- leased here, bound for San An tonic, Texas.
 The birds are the property of J V. Ninck who is now training the pigeons to carry messages, preparatory to turning them ever to the Pacific Express com pany, which will use them in the messenger service.
 The rigeons were brought here from San Antonio and are eX- pected to arrive there tonight on the return trip, covering the en- tire distance between here and San Antonio in twelve hours.
 Hope was selected as a point at which to turn the pigeons loose because of the fact that it is iii the prairie region, with very few trees to interfere with the assent of the birds as they started southward.

that the Mayors order had been vague, and that it
did not show clearly whether ii also included the

He referred the trouble which occurred at No $50

and said the show there had been operated under
