Commis sioner for the district of Nebraska, Alliance Railroad Changes. "Circulars which will be issued Sep tember 10 will bring to the Burlington headquarters at Omaha an importance in the operative management of the linos west of the Missouti rivor never before etijovod here. It involves an extensive reorganization of the Hues west of the Missouri river, the rear rangement following the promotion of General Superintendent Calvert to the position of chief engineer of (he entitc Burlington system, and brings to Omaha new officials. "All of the lines west of the river are to be divided into tfie Nebraska disttict, and the Wyoming district, each with a general supetintendent. The Nebraska district will include the Lincoln, Wy more and McCook divisions, and its general superintendant will be II. E. Byram, the new appointee who comes fiom theGicat Northern, and his head quaiters will be at Lincoln. The Wy oming district will include the Alliance, Sheridan and newly created Ilnlyoke divsions. Its general superintendent will be G. W. Rodes, formerly assist ant general superintendent under Mr. Calvert, and his headquarters will be at Alliance, thus taking away ftom Lin coln half its operating force and pres tige. "To make milage balance evenly be tween the two districts the five divis ions have been increased to six by cut ting from the old McCook division the area from Holdrcgc to Cheyenne, call ing it the Holyokc division and estab lishing its 'headquarters at Holyokc with D. F. McFailan, present assist ant superintendent of the McCook di vision, with bis headquuitcrs already at Holyokc as the new superintendent. Thus each ditrict gets three diyisions. "1. S. P. Weeks, the present chief en gineer, is reappointed to the position of "engineer, " with headquarters at Lin coln. This is only a change in title, however, so that Mr. Calvert alone may hold the title of chief engineer on the Builington, and will not affect Mr. Weeks' authoiity. "Omaha headquarters will be given greater operative prestige fiom the fact that such pfficials as the super intendent of transpoitation the super intendent of motive power and ma chinery, the superintendent of tele grph and other depaitments hereto foie established at Liuclu and report ing direct to General Supeiintedent Calveit will report to General Manager Holdregc here, thus requiring an in crease in his office force. "The location of the piincip.il shops at lluvelocu, near Lincoln, ami tlie lo cation of other impoitaut appurtenan. ces of the road with refernce to Liuclu as a geogiaphical center will cause the retention at Lincoln of all of the de partment mentioned except that of sup erintendent of transportation. "That official is C. L. Eaton, and ho with his office force will at once move to heaquarters in this city." Omaha World-Herald. M. E. Church Notes.
