Charles Mdkdy Appointed

Charles Mackay of this city has
been appointed superintendent of the
waterworks. The appointment was
made at a special meeting of the
board of water commissioners to fill
the vacancy which has existed sever
al weeks. Sometime ago Mr.. Mac
kay was appointed to read water me-
ters, pending the action of the board
over a successor to Albert Bonner, Jr.
The appointment of Mr.. Mackay
will meet with general approval as
he is a practical man. For many years
he was superintendent of the local
gas works, but retired from that field
of labor several months ago. The
work of the superintendent of the
water system has grown with the
years and is not a sinecure by any
means, but Mr.. Mackays friends are
certain that he will be equal to the
occasion and the demands made upon
his time in the conduct of this most
important office.

UNCONSCIOUS WORRY.
Born of the Habit of Taking Things
SnrinIIciM

Born of the Habit of Taking Things
Toe Seriously.
A great many people worry uncon-
sciously, says O. S. Marden in Success
Magazine. They don't understand why
they are so tired in the morning, why
their sleep was so disturbed and trou-
bled
This mental disturbance is often
caused by the habit of taking things
too seriously, carrying too great a
weight Of responsibility. Everywhere
we see people who take life too seri-
ously. Most of US are like the motor
man who not only starts and stops the
car and tries to keep from running
over people, but also feels tremendous
anxiety and responsibility about the
motive power.
One of the most helpful lessons life
can impart is that which shows US
how to do our work as well as it can
be done and then let principle take
care of the result How often have we
been amazed to find things come out
much better than we anticipated; to
find that the great unseen power that
governs our lives through a wilderness
Of trial and tribuIation into the open
has guided our life ship through the
fogs of difficulties and of sorrow.
through storms of hardships and
losses, safely into port.
The pilot does not lose heart when
he cannot see his way. He turns to
that mysterious compass which sees
as plainly in the fog and guides as
faithfully in the tempests as when the
sea is like glass. We are in touch with
a power greater than any compass,
greater than any pilot. a power that
can eXtricate US from the most des
perate situati

A Remarkable Record

The announcement ~ made By the
Chicago & Northw esteFn railway
that for the year which ended June
so. 1909, $1,000, 600 of passengers
were carried over it's rails without a
single fatality, and it is difficult to
comprehend the Significance tf this
statement without the aid Of the mast
Illuminating illustrations.
For Example The number of pas
sengers carried by the North Western
during the period above mentioned
was more than all the railroads in the
United States carried In the year 1850.
This number of persons is seven
times as great as were included in
both the Federal and Confederate
armie> Gu ing the civil war; twenty
times as many as were in Xerxes'
army at the invasion OF Greece,
generally supposed to have been the
largest number Of persons ever
gathered together in enc place at one
time. 1t is third of the population
of the United States, yet each one of
these q 900, 900 of people entrusted
their safety to the Chicago & North
Western railway and the railroad
safely accounted for every precious
lite placed in it's care.
The population of New York,
Pennsylvania. Ohio. Illinois, Massa-
chusetts and Indiana approximases
q, 0000, 90 persons. anG statistics show
q great number of fatalities each year
IN those states as the result of acct
dents to persons who are pursuing
their usual duties, thus indicating
that travel on the passenger trains of
the North Western is attended with
less hazard than pertains to the ordi-
nary every day vocations of life.
This record is not obtained by acct
.dntal good fortune, but is the result
Of fixed policy on the part of the
company for systematic and liberal
expenditure wherever such outlay can
add to the safety and comfort of the
travelling public.
The completed double track of the
main lines of travail and the operation
of the reliable and effective automatic
block signal system, which places a
check On human fallibility by mechan-
ical devices, contribute materially to
the unsurpassed operating efficiency
of the Chicago & North Western rail-
way and the elimination Of the ele-
ment uf personal danger to the trav-
eIer by that line.
The progressive policy of the COM
pany was emphasized a few days ago

cars, dining cars. baggage and mail
cars, with which to equip all through
trains, and thereby still further en-
nance the safety of travel.
These liberal expenditures for
safeguarding the public are supple
mented by the loyalty and enthusiasm
of the employees Of the North Western
company and their pride in Nurth
Western achievements, coupled with
the discipline which exacts a vigilant
and constant observance of the rules
that are made for their government
and guidance, and travelling on North
Western trains can feel assured that
their safety, comfort and expeditions
movement is in experienced, skillful
and competent hands.

Farming as a Ensincss.

The business of farming is one
that requires good sense and judg-
ment and the closest attention to
make fair return for our labor, and
this fact farmers aree beginning to
understand as they never before have
done. The man who Keeps herd of
cows, and fails to know at the end of
the year whether they have brought
him In 4 fair return for their keen
and his labor, or is pretty sure that
they have not done SO, usually will
spell failure in large letters. sooner
or later. And yet there is no branch
OF farming that pays better than
dairying under favorable conditions
and wise management, and, strange
to say, none that is usually conduct
ed In so slipshod a manner.
