siderable worry last night when they
failed to come home at bed time They
were Edward Schultz, aged Is years,
and Gomel Valentine. aged Is. The
boys turned up this morning all right.
and had very little to say about where
they had spent the night. except that
they had decided to see how travelling
and remaining out of doors at night
would appeal to them. The police at
tempted last evening to find the boys.
but wherever they were they were well
hidden The parents of the lad who
reside in the neighborhood of Sixth
avenue and Thirteenth street, were
very much wrought up over the disap-
pearance of the youngsters, and they
will endeavor to see that it does not
happen again.

VALUABLE MAN
Former keokuk Railroad Official
Wanted for Good Position in
the West.

The Quincy Herald has the follow
official: James Somerville, soa of
Captain and Mrs William H. Somer-
Vile, has risen to such position of
Importance in the railroad world that
his services are deemed Indispensable
by the company with which he is en-
ployed Mr.. Somerville is at present
superintendent of terminals at Kan
sas City for the Missouri Pacific rail-
road His work there has been mark
ed with such efficiency that the Great
Northern railway offered him posi-
ton at Seattle similar to the one he
now holds at Kansas City and the
company fixed the compensation at a
large figure considerably higher than
the amount he received at Kansas
City. The Missouri Pacific reasoned
however, that an experienced and COM
petent official was as valuable to 1T as
to another road and so the company
with which Mr. Somerville is employ
ed offered him the same amount

James Somerville has had re-
markable rise in the railroad bust
ness. AS youth he delivered gro
ceries in Quincy but his taste ran
toward railroading. For some time he
was employed at Keokuk. From that
city he went to st. Louis and from
st. Louis to his present position at
Kansas City. He is still young man
and his rise to position of response
bility is pleasing to his friends In
