JIKKLKJt AND RAMUS XAMK1I BY I'BESIBEXT A. F. Heeler and E. J. Eames were appointed receiver and register re spectively of the North Platte land office last Friday. They will assume the positions as soon as their bonds are approved and commissions arrive. Those appointments were decided upon months ago, but had been held up because Bryan and Hltchhock could not agree on one of the appointees of the Broken Bow office. Thei commissions of Register Evans and Receiver Bare expired a year ago, and'slnco that time had dally expected their successors to bo named. Messrs. Beeler and Eames are well konwn In the county. The former has been engaged In the mercantile busi ness at Hershey for many years; while the latter is editor of the Maxwell Telepost, whlc'h he established sev eral years ago. DISCUSSING THE BE3I A XI). Some trainmacn complain that- one feature of tho concerted demand of train and cngincmen for higher wages is working to their disadvantage, In that iwngo comparisons are mostly made on what enginemen get, while onglnoincn get imorc money than train men. This, they say. gives the public the impreslon that all the men who are asking for an eight-hour day are as well paid for what they da as the enginemen. Enginemen complain that the roads have picked out the best runs for showing what enginemen get, ignoring many cases where enginemen work for a very little money. Any way, they say, they are not asking for more pay, but for shorter working hours. Railroads have countered on this by saying they will ho glad to give an eight-hour day if that is made to mean that every man will work eight hours. : :o: : AX OUTSIDE VIEW ' Tho handiwork of the railroad com pany can be seen at the recent munici pal elections along the line of the Un ion Pacific. The company Is opposed to saloons, for the reason that they tend to Impair the efficiency of em ployes, ad as a result the influence of the company was used last Tuesday as ome may reasonably presume to put the saloons out of business. At Sidney and North Platte, both divi sion towns, the dry people were vic torious, and the two towns for tho first time in tholr history of half a century, are no'w on the water wagon Lexing ton Pioneer. : :o: : Mrs. F. C. Hoxie left Sunday morn ing for Paxton to spend a few days. Miss Vaunita Hayes went to Ogalalla yesterday mclrning to spend a few days. William Comically, of Omaha, form erly of this city, spent tho week end here. Mrs. Joseph Jessup left Sunday morning for Cincinnati. Ohio, to visit relatives. 0 E. Graham returned Saturday ev ening from Omaha, where he spent last week. (1ENERAI, MANAGER WARE OF l V. IS FAVORITE WITH "BOYS." Charley Lane, gonernl freight agent of the Union Pacific, tells this one on General Manngor Ware. Two Irish section hands were visit ing at the end of the day's work. Both were loud In their praise of General Manngcr Ware "He's some mnnnger, that lnd," ex claimed Pnt. "He went ever my sec Hon In his private car the other day, and when he went by he waved at me and yelled 'Hello, Pnt!' That's some kind of a mnnnger, believe me. Knows all tho boys and spenks to 'cm I "Huh!" snorted Mike. " I s'posc you know Mlsther Ware mighty well, don't you! Well, he pnssed over my section yesterday on his observation cnr. and when he sailed by he yelled 'Hello, Mike,' ad throw me a good cigar and it was lighted, too!" World-Hor aid. Apropos to the above, one of the Un Ion Pacific locomotive engineers re marked In a serious mood: "Hnvlng served under Mr. Ware from Train Dispatcher to General Manager, cov erlng more than twenty-five years, I can truthfully assert without any equivocation thnt It Is not to be won dered at that a person with Charles Ware's disposition and common sense should be tho most beloved general manager the Union Pacific has yet had, such a man could not help from being a success from the start as he has un doubtedly shown a genius for manage ment While a lover of peace, he Is tho greatest fighter the road has produced, as brave as a Hon, ho Is always kind and considerate to those who serve un der him. He counts his men ns his partners and friends, weighs their in terests with his own, anticipates tholr rights and guards them, besides culti vating their good will and their loyal ty by his loyalty to them, which coos to prove that a man can be eminently successful in every sense of the word, and still be absolutely free from per sonal arrogance or a tendency to thrust his authority In the face of oven his humblest employe, but to hold it in reserve to be used when a crisis approaches. This is the one nnd only way td maintain order In any organi zation. It would be utterly impossible for such an Individual to be uncivil to any person and especially to one he knciw had grown gray in the ser vice. Not only has he the Instincts of a true gentleman, but the courace of a hern leader, and God knows It will bo a sorry day for the owners as well as the employes of the Union Pacific when he steps down from the exalted position he has filled so honorably and creditably to himself as well ns all concerned. ::o:: i Miss Ada Arnell, of Omnha. former ly a nurse at the North Platte Hospital was called here last week to take charge of some of the dlphtherin cases In this city.
