WASHINGTON, Feb. 2T.-Dr. Vas.

revolutionists announced that he in
directly had received overtures For
peace from the federal government.
DR.. Gomez said the confidential
agency in Washington had been adj
vised by its junta in Ell Paso, Texas,
of the desire of Gov. Ahmuda OF Chi

Francisco 1. Madero, leader of the
revolution, and also had been inform-
ed through the junta in San Antonio,
Texas, that three delegates of the
Diaz government wished to meet DR..
Gomez on the border and arrange for
the termination of hostilities.
DR.. Gomez, who was the family ply

He added it was further desired b.

Railroad.

Offer Is to be Made Today and It 10
Said That it VIII be Accepted
BY Tho on.
ctai.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Preeident
Howard Elliott of the Northern Paci-
tic railroad will be formally offered
the presidency of the Missouri Pacific
probably today. While no statement to
that effect has been obtainable, 1t is
regarded in financial circles as prao-
tically certain. There seems to be 3
general impression, also, that the In
ducements in connection with the Of
fer will be such that Mr.. Elliott will
not be able in justice to himself to
decline. Although Mr.. Elliott's arrival
here on Saturday was given out as
having connection with the affairs Of
his own road. it Is known that his
presence here has equally as much
to do with the Missouri Pacific va
cancy.
Before George J. Gould was forced
out OF control, and when it was COM
mon knowledge that he was casting
about for some man to succeed him,
| 1t was said on good authority that one
OF the men he had asked to assume
the presidency and who had declined
| WAS MT. ElllOUt. Inc OLQcTb were
Presidents Truesdale, Hays, Undet-
wood and Loree. But conditions were
different then; there were no indica-
tions of the end of the Gould control,
and there seemed little prospect for
satisfactory fnancing. With the elm
ination of the Gould control and the
4 domination of the Standard Oil-Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., interests there will be
|plenty of money for the rehabilitation
of the Missouri Pacific and Wabash
systems, and fertile field for a COM
paratively young, active and expert
4 enced man. 1t is understood that Mr..
J Elliott, in view of these changed con-
ditions, looks upon the appointment
now In an entirely different light.
and that he will see his way clear to
accept the presidency.
Bankers closely in touch with the
. Missouri Pacific situation do not deny
, that Mr.. Elliott is the man sought for
the head of the Missouri Pacific, nor
do they dispute the assertion that his
: selection and acceptance are highly
probable.

WANTS THAT OLD BOOK

Trying to Recover the

GLENWOOD, Feb. 27.--So obsess-
ed has Samuel H. Wireman OF this
city become with the desire to again
possess bible which saved his life,
that after the lapse OF years he has
again taken up the practically hope
less task of trying to find the book.
The bible, Mr.. Wireman believes. is
somewhere In Dixie land, and if the
object OF his pursuit Is given the nee
essary publicity he believes that he
can locate 1t. after which its recovery
he believes will be comparatively
easy.
Wireman's mother gave him the
bible when he left home during the
civil war, member of Company d,
Ninth Ohio cavalry. His name, COM
pany and regiment are written in the
book. He lost possession OF the bible
when he was captured Sept. "a. 1854.
at Athens, Ga. The union soldiers
were surprised one day by the Ten
nesseeAns under command Of General
Forest, and he with others was taken
prisoner.
The attack was sudden and Mr.
| Wireman states that in the haste oi
packing his effects he left his bible
outside his saddlcbags. He then re
placed the book in the left hand pock
ct on the outside of his blouse, an act
\ that enables him. sorty;seyen year.

A few moments later the Ohio cav

twas struck by bullet and almos
knocked from his horse by the i'm
pact of the missile. The bullet hat
crashed into his bible, located as 1
