Rumors That He Will Be Succeeded By Superintendent Byram. r special from Lincoln contains the following, which If there Is any truth therein, will surprise many of the friends of Mr. lloldrege: The story lias been In persistent circulation In Burlington railroad clr cles for a few days that at tho first of the year George W. lloldrege, at prcs ent general manager of the Burling' ton lines west of the Missouri river, would be transferred to a more respon sible posit ion in Chlcago.that he would be succeeded by II. C. Byram, at prcs ent general superintendent, and that C. B. Rogers, at present Hupcrintcnd- ent of the Wymore division, would take the place vacated by Mr. Byram. 'So far It has been Impossible to ab solutely verify these statements. Mr. Byram Is now In Chicago, and no one Of the men under him care to give any statement or opinion about the matter. "Mr. lloldrege has been general manager for many years, and Is repu ted to be one of the best operating men In the business. He has also ob tained considerable fame as a politi cal manager. It Is this ofllcc that lias been the clearing house of railroad politics for years, and he has made and unmade more men than the voters ever dreamed of.

Mr. lloldrege has been the head of the Burlington for nearly twenty-eight years. He graduated from Harvard In the class of 1 S!i, and came west shortly afterwards to enter thc Burlington service. He was first a clerk in the treasurer's ollicc of the Burlington, but left that to enter thc train service In lowa. ills rise was rapid. In succession he was master of transportation, assistant general su perlntendcnt, and In 17'.! was made general superintendent. A few years later he became general manager and has held that position ever since. He Is nearly no years old. "Mr. Byram Is a more recent Bur lington recruit. He received his train ing as a Great Northern man, and when Mr. Calvert became chief engin eer he succeeded to the position of general superintendent. He Is re garded as a high class railroad man and his accessibility has made him a prime favorite with both the public and the newspaper fraternity. Mr Rogers has been a Burlington man for a long time and is a most capable olllclal." A Western Wonder There's a Hill at Bowie, Tex., that's twice as big as last year. This wonder Is W.

In pleading guilty to embcz.elment they confessed that every cent of tho .'!H.",,ooo they had stolen was lost, and they slood before thc court pennllcsH. The eager study they had given to the stock markets, the almost superhuman elTorls they made to recover their steady losses and thc agony of mind they under went would have been Kiilllclent, If rightly directed, to have nude them comfortably rich and universally re spected. Through some peculiarity In our construction we are willing to work ten times as hard to get "something for nothing" as to earn It In a natural way. A scoundrel will exercise more cunning and energy in beating some body out of a dollar than would be called for In acquiring ten dollais honestly. And he thinks he has got the dollar for nothing! Poor fool. The gambler shoves all his surplus earnings over ttictaoie ana wnat lie ns now and then he shoves after them. So long as ho has anything to lose he counts himself ahead of the game, ills fortitude, ins patience, 111s Insensibility to failure, If enlisted In a worthy occupation, might bring him substantial success. There's a weakness in human nature through which most of us are Inclined to regard as clear gain only that which comes unearned. And ln striving to get more than we earn we perform unrewarded labors that, If rightly ap plied, would not only bring us far more than we get, but shield us against disgrace and disaster. It Is easy for a man to make a fool of himself, but none of us Is wise enough to fool old nature Into giving us more than we work for. Great Inoonvenlence. Much to the Inconvenience of a large number of workmen who are cm ployed on thc north side of tho river In stone quarries and sand pits, comes the announcement of the Missouri Pa cific that no one will be permitted to cross their bridge In tho future.
