SILVER SERVICE BY MEN

AS a token of the esteem in which
their former division superintendent,
M. J. Knelley, was held among them,
the employees of the Missouri division
of the Rock Island road dubbed to-
gether and have secured very
elaborate gift The expression of their
regard for the retiring official took
form in an exquisite mahogany chest
of silver. This was secured some time
ago by committee of the employees
at an Ottumwa jewelry store and
Thursday James M. Reed and Michael
Sherwood came to Ottumwa for the
double purpose of seeing Champ Clark
and taking back with them to Eldon
the gift for, ex-Superintendent M. J.
Knelley, whose headquarters before
retiring from railroad service was in
Trenton Mo. Mr.. knelley Is at pres
ent in Muscatine taking we'll earned
rest from railroad activity that GOV.
cred many years. He was one of the
old school officials whose rise was
from the track department. The first
position of authority held by Mr..
KneIley was that of foreman on a
work train and from this he passed
through the chameleon-like changes of
roadmaster, trainmaster ETC., to di.
vision superintendent.

were made laws. The Des Moines
Register and Leader of July 3, 1911 re-
ferred to these sixteen bills, and Mr.
Shane was the only man in either
house or senate that had more than
one of these important bills. Mr.

six of these bills and his services were

The voters of Wapello county will
make no mistake in returning Frank
Shane to the Iowa legislature. He has
been painstaking officer, and the ex.

lature will be invaluable to him and
the people of the county whom he
represents at the coming session Of
