There Is real cause for regret

the fact of the probnble resignation
of Division Superintendent W. M
Weld. -nil mer Mr. Weldenhamer

men in the service during the time he
has heen hert M Superintendent, and j
there is a unanimous wish among

as hlg a success In his new position '
with t tie Milwaukee as he has here
With the Rutllneton. His hcadquar-
ters In the new position will be In I
Chicago, If he leaves.
The wrecker has been trought Inm
'i Miuent use within th pa.it few days
n the cleaning up of little "musses"
. a use J at various poin's from vari
ous runic. The crew and wrecker'
muru . ii. .ii. .I I i mime time the la'
ier part of last week clearing the j
Belmont tunnel, wnicn carea in last
aSturday morning, and after that was
1 1 It'll to oihti points on the division
to clear such small matters as a car
off the track, etc All is clear again
now, however, and the wrecker once
more reposes solemnly at the round
house.
Today a great many are enjoying
festivities adapted to the celebration
of our annual Thanksgiving day. But
how many of us will remember those
... 1 . . . Mill ..... ... i .... I , ,a ,1 1 . i n it t- '
Willi WI'IT UUI '"l IIIIIl'H II, 'I.' Ill- l.i
celebrate this event? Those who are
engaged in the matter of keeping the
wheels of commerce In motion contin
ued in their line of duty, the same
today as any other day, and their
Thanksgiving must all be done after
the day's work Is done and they will
perhaps feel like spending a few mo
ments with their families, and per
haps not. These are the boys who all
should remember and grant the prop
er credit. Without them the rail
roads of the country would be great
ly embarrassed if all were permitted
to enjoy a holiday today the result
would be a general mix-up of traffic.
So then, let us remember, when en
Joying our little home festival today
that there are those who on account
of the tremenduous responsibility
hanging In the balance, must forego
all such pleasure, and carry on the
business known to all as railroading.

Pajinim-Mglily Party
A pa jama nit-hue party was stag
ed at the Alliance Hotel at four
o'clock Friday morning when the
alarm of Ore was sounded by the
night cook. Tom Stewart.the potash
expert engineer, was sleeping peace
fully in his room when he heard the
cry of "fire." He ran In his paja
mas to the downstairs floor and
thence to the kitchen, where he dis- .
covered that the large air pipe lead
log from the range was on fire. Tom
grabbed a Pyrene Are extinguisher I
and with a few well directed shots
put the blaze out of business. It I
appears that the night cook had ac- ;
cldentally spilled some hot grease on
the t-ange. This, blazing up, set Are
to the grease in the air pipe and 1
caused the cook to think that the
hotel was doomed. He proved an
I'xrellent "aliirmer" and his calls for j
help were rewarded by the exodus of
most of the guests from their rooms.
The fire department arrived in quick !
time hut found that Stewart's work
had left them with nothing to do
but to assure the guests that they
could again retire to their slumbers,
which most of them proceeded to do.
Mr. O'Brien of the National Potash
company, who had a room at the ho
;!. slept peacefully through the ex
citement. Now he nnd Stewart are
slightly at outs because O'Brien miss-
d the excitement. Stewart has
agreed that he will awaken O'Brien
from his slumbers before he extin
guishes the next blaze.
