4. \. BETS PROMOTED
 ID HIGHER PUs|T|ON
Local Freight Solicitor Named For
 Office Recently Created.

Effective yesterday, A. A. CHar- vey'O Betts, who for the past two years has been connected with the local offices of the Santa F'e, Pres colt & Phoenix railroad, was ad- vanced to the position of travelling freight and passenger agent for that road, with headquarters in this city. The position to which Mir. Betts was appointed, was created coincident with his selection, the constantly increas- ing business of the road at this end requiring that the traffic department be represented here.
 MT. Betts came here from Colorado as assistant city ticket agent, which position he held for fourteen months. He was then appointed city soliciting agent which position he held until his appointment to his present office. He has been an active member of the working force of the Santa Fe in this city and has made a host of friends among the business men with whom he has had dealings.
 Incidental to the appointment of Mir Betts to the position of travelling freight and passenger agent with headquarters in this city, comes the announcement of the appointment of H. B. Kohl as travelling passenger agent for the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad with headquarters at Prescott Both appointments were made by Paul Hastings, general freight and passenger agent with the approval of Vice President and Gen eral Manager w. A Drake.

KLEBER'S NOTEBOOK.

A friend writes from Paris that the fomous and mysterious Garnet de Kleber'' (Klebers Notebook, which was stolen from the war office archives ten years ago, has just as mysteriously reappeared. It is now guarded with every precaution, but the government, happy in its pos session, and also fearing lest it may again become the prey of thief, has decided on its publication. It will be edited, with notes. by Arthur Gnu quet the wellknown historian of the wars of the Revolution.
 The Garnet de Kleber" is one of the most remarkable human docu- ments in military history, written by one of the most remarkable soldiers. It is a manuscript of about 300 yell low pages, on which the persistent bete-noir of the great Napoleon set down from time to time his impress siOns, observations, reflections, and even conversations. It reveals soul at once fiery and penetrating, unre- strained and generous.
 Jean Baptste Kleber was a soldier of the revolution par excellence. He did not live to see the grandeur of the empire or the realization of Bon. aparte's ambitions. And when he fell by the knife of an Egyptian assassin in the streets of Cairo on June A. 1900, Bonoparte remarked:
 'Ah. well; one rival the less''
 Kleber was of humble Strasburg origin, a student of architecture and military science. The wars of the revolution, which leveled all men, gave him the opportunity to distin- guish himself-at the siege of Mainz in the Vendean war, and at F'leurus In 1797, not meeting with the pro- motion to which he thought his ser vices entitled him, he resigned from the field and returned to Paris. Later he accepted the command of a di- vision in the expedition sent to Egypt under Bonoparte. He was wounded at Alexandria, which prevented his taking part in the campaign of the pyramids.
 For a time he was governor of Alexandria, but later resumed active service in the Syrian campaign and bore the brunt of the battle of Mount IdDer, July l0, l'JJ. WlIn Only IV,VOV men he defeated an army of 60,000 Turks at Heliopolis on March 20, 1860, and then recaptured Cairo. dnly tc be assassinat~d three months later. on the very day that Desaix fell at Marengo.
 On the taking of Alexandria, where he was wounded, he set down in his little book a few words of heroic irony:
 "A sight of the desert! I am wounded. In spite of my wounds they have given me the command of Alexandria. I enter upon my duties on the evening of the 18th, the day of Bonapartes departure.
 | On the following page Kleber's re- sentiment toward General Hoche is summed up in single sentence: We learn the nonsuccess of ri- diculous Invasion of Ireland" The figure of Bbnaparte always shows large on Kleber's horizon. He

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, oct 1.-Today's stock market was one of the usual half half holiday character-dull, narrow and professional. Opening prices were irregular and mixed, within small fractional limits, but the undertone later became stronger, the movement in coppers being the most conspicu- ous. All active issues held their re- cent gains, Union Pacific, Reading and United States Steel recording net material advances for the week
 The announcement by the secretary of the treasury of the governments ability to maintain itself without new issues of bonds until congress assem- bies was accepted as a sign of bet terment in the federal financial situ ation, despite the deficit of S15,91O,- 66O for the first three months of the fiscal year.

anxious. We did not fancy the Idea of
spending the night in a blizzard. and

With just what serious consequences we
could not possibly foresee.
FINDING THE ROAD.

on to the road again-the road which
had entirely disappeared from view un-

to feel their way along a number of
