The advancement OF Thomas j.
Frier, former Keokuk citizen. in the
railway world, is told ii the Hannibal
Journal Of Sunday morning as follows
and will be interesting to his many
friends here:
Information was received In this city
yesterday morning that Thomas j.

lington, It'll headquarters at Chicago,
has rendered his resignation to accept
a more lucrative and more important
one with the Wabash. The title OF Mr..
Frier's new position is that of general
purchasing agent and his headquarters
will be at st. Louis. The appointment
becomes effective on August LIST. The
office Of general supply agent of the
Wabash has been abolished and the
duties OF that position will fall upon
Mr.. Frier and his assistants. The sal
airy of the new place is commensurate
with the duties OF tie officer In
charge.
Mr.. Frier is former resident Of
Hannibal and has been connected with
the supply department of the Burning
ton for number of years. He came
to Hannibal from Keokuk, when the
headquarters OF the K line was chang
ed from that city to Hannibal, as a

ties he won the confidence OF his sup.
erior officers and he began to ascend
the railroad ladder. He finally became
superintendent OF supplies of the K
line and later was made superintend
ent Of the supply department OF the
Missouri lines. Two or three years
ago, he was transferred to Chicago and
promoted to the position OF general
storekeeper of the entire Burlington
system. with headquarters at Chicago
The Journal learns that in the In
term he has had several tempting Of

to remain with the Burlington until
the offer camel rom the Wabash which
he accepted as above stated.
The news of Mr.. Frier's appointment
will be received with considerable sat

the many waiting passengers thought
was an attempt upon the part OF q
couple OF negroes to kidnap q stylish
dressed white girl who alighted from
the train and was met by the co,ored
men who Immediately escorted her
through the station onto the east
platform.
The young woman gave every ap-
pearance OF being white girl, and
when the crowd saw her hustled
away they Immediately began to fol
low and asked the policeman, Patrol
men Nicloy and krnst, to interfere.
The trio. however, passed right by
the officers before the people had
made the request and as the girl made
no call for assistance and the party
stopped close by to engage in con-
versation the officers saw no reason
for making hurried interference and
allowed the three to talk for a few
moments before "butting in"
On inquiry as to the girls nation
atty she. replied politely that she was
negress and that the men she was
talking to were her half brothers. She
further stated that she was married
to negro man, and after the Off
GERS conyersed with her for few mo
ments they were satisfied. When the
train pulled out again she boarded the

When eight years OF age he became
an apprentice to his father, who was
a cobbler. and learned the trade OF
making shoes, which he followed
throughout his life OF activity. He
came to this country in 1874. sailing
from Bremen on May 10 of that year.
He landed at Philadelphia and started
west at once and first stopped at
Cincinnati and from there to st.
Louis, where he remained but short
time and then went on a steamboat
up the Illinois river and worked dur
ing the winter of 1874 and 1845 on a
farm near Pittsfield and in the fol.
lowing spring came to Quincy and
lived here continually since.
After coming to Quincy he follow

which still stands.
How He Lived.
He followed his trade until nearly
70 years of age and has been retired
nearly forty years. He was married
before coming to this country to Miss
Marie Appolonia Dehm, who was four
yearsh is junior and who preceded
him In death AZ years ago. There were
no children and in 1852 they adopted
Mrs. Liebig. Mrs. Liebig was at that
time years OF age and was the or
phan child OF Mr.. and Mrs Heitland
Two years after the death OF his wife
he went to the home of his adopted
daughter who was married, and has
been cared for by her tenderly since
The care of the aged foster father has

survived by no blood relatives.
| During his life Mr.. Roeder always
kept the best Of care of himself and
suffered but very few sick days. He
never had set rules for living to pro
long life, except to be temperate IN
! his eating and drinking, although he
was regular user of beer and
| smoked throughout his life He never
partook of any medicine and when he
! felt i'll would take few pinches OF
l salt.

For the past six weeks he had been
in declining health and unable to eat
as heartily as he had before. Up to
that time he had been unable to eat
three meals day and appeared in his
usual health. From that time on he
was unable to eat anything other than
a little milk and wine each day and it
is thought that his fall was caused by
his weakened condition and that he
probably collapsed after reaching the
bottom Of the sters The on'y injury,
as far as could be ascertained at that
time, was a small skinned place on
his wrist and bruise on his body.
John Leonard Roeder was born In
Gerstenbach, Germany, On January 81,

which was brought by him to this

When he was still youth he took
an unusual interest in things Of a mil
itary nature. He was only 15 years
| of age at the time that Gen. Butcher
was sent out by the German govern
ment to check the onslaught of Ma
poleon Bonaparte. Young Roeder
took deep interest in the maneuvers
and when the famous battle of Water

CALLS II GRAFT

The Neche Chronotype which did not get any in
surance statements calls the business of publishing
those statements graft. That's about the way that
all papers that are not fortunate enough to get
slice of the business look upon It. The Chronotype
blames the Republican leaders and very unjustly.
The Independent knows that the Republican leaders
had nothing whatever in the distribution OF the
statements in Ward county and every other county
where there is newspapermen's organization. The
distribution was left entirely to the newspapers We
got together one day and agreed among ourselves
that each paper in the county, with the exception
of two or three small final proof Sheets should re-
ceve two statements, and no paper failed to get at
least one This does not look much like bossism.
Could anything have been more fair? The trouble
with the Chronotype is that there Is probably no
editorial association in that county Better get busy
and organize one.

The Independent received word from one OF our
Senators now down at Washington, that everything
would be satisfactorily explained, after the tariff
bill Is disposed of. The Senator says that so many
erroneous reports are sent out from Washington
that it is hardly possible for the general public to
understand perfectly the manner In which the tar
if has been revised and the reason therefore Inc

revision of the tariff but If Senator wants to have
clear sailing with the folks back home he wants
to be pretty sure that he favors the revision OF tar

at Washington may care to make The public would
like to know. -E@
