Railroad men in offices about town
are not satisfied as to the significance
OF the Minneapolis & st. Louis
changes. Mr. Noonan, the retiring
superintendent, is a young railroad
man OF more than local reputation,
who was confidential secretary to L.
F. Day before his promotion to gen.
eral, superintendent, and lack of abil
lty would not account for his retire
ment, or for that of at least one OF
the others. -F, .....
"The inference that Mr. Cutter was
sent here to revolutionize operating
methods and eventually to supplant
Mr.. Day, does not appear correct,
from the fact that it was Mr. Day
who made the appointment of Mr..
Gutter. 1t is thought, therefore, that
Mr.. Day contemplates the shifting OF
responsibility upon Mr.. Cutter, and
his own release from responsibilities

WEDDING LEAKED OUT;
 FRIENDS SERtMAOE

Subsequent developments in the Lemon-Hammer wedding solemDized by Justice High at the latter's office at II o'clock Tuesday night, bring out the interesting fact that it was the announced determination on ihe part of the bride and groom to keep their happy affair from their frienes for several days at least.
 After the young couple had con trived to leave Pearce unobseryed, a nice automobile ride was enjoyed 10 Bisbee, all with the firm belief that they had stolen march on their friends. Even after the words had been spoken, Mir. and Mrs. Lemon felt So confident of their secret that the former took occasion to let the off ciating justice in on the secret.
 As they emerged from the office, imagine their surprise when they were confronted with a crowd Of strangers who had picked up a Mex ioan orchestra for an impromptu ser enade. While it was the intention Of the couple to return to Lowell after the ceremony, they simply turn ed and fled down Main street and then around to the Victoria hotel. And all because they wished to keep it secret.

DELANEY PREFERS NOT

 Triumph

Billy Delany, who once managed Jeffries and now has Kaufman, is to retire and turn over his big fellow to Bill Brady. Delany has been more or less peeved since he could not get a chance to handle Jeffries again, and took on Kaufman as what he supposed to be the next best thing among the heavyweights. As matter of fact. Kaufman never showed any champion ship form in his fights here. and it took him half of one night to make Jim Barry quit after Jim had broken both hands. Billy probably wants to get from behind Kaufman before the boy goes against Johnson, and you cannot blame him Imagine Kaufman trying to beat Johnson, Jeffries and I.angford,

Blushing Dane Admits He Is Thinking Seriously of Se-
 lecting Mate

Oscar Battling Nelson. collector oi souvenirs of the United States mint ] author, aotCr and pugilist. has, after some months of inactivity in the i squared circle. again felt the cali of the lucre causing an itching of his coin-eollecting digits.
 From San Francisco, that frivolous city by thc Golden Gate, where money is easy. comes the story that the Bat. tier will retire when the bloom of the leaflet begins to turn to seer and yellow, and will continue his days il happy peace and contentment, serene in the fact that~the wolf has been chained to the woodpile and that there is no longer danger that the ravenous beast will come scenting at the Nell son door.
 Coyiy. and with crimson blushes many, the Dane admits that he may take unto himself a wife. He qualities the statement with the remark. If l can get some girl to marry me
 Tush. tush. Oscar. with those 200.- 900 shining simoleons of yours. you should cast this modest stuff aside. and propose to some nice girl out Hegewisoh way. Perhaps some maid en who walked home from the village fount of learning where Oscar says he used to receive 100 in his algebra ex- aminations. will take the long walk up the aisle with the scared veteran of many fistic alterations
 But there is really no reason why the Dane shouldn't retire He should not initiate the procrastinations of lit tie Madame Patti, either. The Dane has been assimilating beatings all these years. aud many wise ones are of the opinion that he is about due.
