Mr. Poppletou re plied that It was "When Is jour resignation to tuko ctfcctl" ho was asked. "At once , If possible ; and not later than April 1 , " Mr Popple-ton icplied ! "I wioto out * my formal icslgnation n few weeks ago , and scut It to Judge Dillon , the companj's geneial attorney In New Yoik , ut the sumo tlmo nccompanjiiig it with a letter giving my reasons for icslgnlng " Mr. Popiiluton then stated th it the punrl- pal reason for 1m icslgiilug was that his health would not nny longer penult him to continue the laboiious duties .of his oflleo. The close confinement to business , ho said , is becoming too gieat a tax upon tils energies. He-sides ho has leached that ago when , If ho ever Intends to take n test or have any re- en cation , he must at once cut loose fiom his pi eseut'cmplo ) mcnt. Ho Is not compelled to work any longer , and ho cteslies to bo in a position to do whatever ho feels inclined , without any interfcienco by loutine duties , It is his intention to devote himself to his private interests , and to tiavel , not only lu this countr ) , but in Europe. Ho will have an ollice in thu now Fust National bank building , and make It his headquaiteis , but ho will not entei into general piactlie If ho takes any cases the ) will bo only those of the most im- poitaut character , and involving large intei- ests Piom now OH Ml Poppletou pi oposcs to take life much easier than he has for the past tvv cut ) -tlv o ycai s.

Ho nlso sa.\s that it will he vot.v difficult to Hud a successoi , but In the ov cut that Mr. Poppleton's action is final the eompanj will have to begin nt once to look for a lawor qualified to fill the important position. Mi. Poppletori , how over , is detei mined In his icsignation nnd cannot bo induced to 10- considoi the matter. Ho had been contem plating the step for ncaily u j car , and cannot aftoid to an ) longer saenflce his health Mr. Popplcton bus made Omaha his homo forovei thiit-tinec ) ems He is one of the pionecis who located hcio in Ib54 , when the place was but a meio hamlet of the fi outlet * .

Clinton Hriggs and Jonas Seeloy , who became jiiom- inciit citizens of Omaha , weio admitted at the same time. To complete his pielinilnaiy legal ti.lining Mr. Poppletou attended a six months'com so nt John W Fowlci's law school , Pougukeop'iie , N.

Mr. Popple- ton hcivcd as a niembei of the Nebiaska tor- ritoiial legislative assembly during tlio ses sions of Ibll .11 and lb.1i ! > S and was mavoi of Omaha dunng the veais IbIS 5'J. ' He icceived with J.

The next day he was appointed nttoiney of the Union Pacific by Vico-Piesulent Durant. Fiom that date ho continued his geneial practice until 1b ( > 't. In that j ear the load was completed , uml mueli important litigation ainso fiomcon- stiuction eontiacts. Theieupon Mr. Popplo- ton accepted a tegular salaty fiom the com- ) ) , has evei since continued us gen eral attoincj of the s\stem , except that portion tion located in Kansas.
