the Count } fund.
Two causes have tended to materially de-
crcaso the number of families and single
Individuals appl > lng for aid from the county
this winter. The principal cause Is the
fact that every able-bodied man who wanted
to work during the Inst twelve months was
able to secure employment on ono of the
different railroads. The second cause IB
attributed to the mild winter. George Mil
ler , the supervisor ot the poor for Kane
township , reports that the number of ap
plicants for aid on his books Is Ices by more
than half the usual number which at thle
season of the jcar have to bo supplied
weekly with the necessities of life. At pres
ent Iho llsl does not Include more than fifty
families , all told Many of the'so have been
forced to seek aid owing to sickness or from
the fact that Iherc Is no man at the head
of the household able to provide for It.
The number of what the supervisor desig
nates as "old pensioners" on the county's
bounty Is about the same. These , as Mr ,
Miller says 'Wo have with Ua all the
(
time " Many of the families who have hith
erto been accustomed to receive aid from the
county this winter have applied for coal
alone , being able to provide themselves wltli
the necessary groceries and other articles ol
food which the county usually supplied them
with Prom ten to fifteen families on the
supervisor's list are receiving nolblng bul
fuel , but It is possible that before the winter -
tor Is over they will ha.vo to be provided
with food.
The supervisor atao has on his books o
few temporary pensioners , owing to sick
ness , but this list Is not nearly as largo a
In former years There. Is about the usual
number of county patlenls In Ihe Women1 !
Chrlsllan assoclallon and St. Bernard's hos-
pllal , and they cost the county on an average
of about $40 per week to support.
The county Is , In addition to giving food
and fuel , obliged to provide houses for nboul
ten families The average renl of Ihe dom
iciles provided for Ihls class of Ihe countj
charges Is nboul $4 per monlh.
Lusl vvlnlcr Ihe office of the superv'aor ol
the poor wns overrun with translonl pau
pers seeking food and Iraneportatlon , bul
Ihls wIntei there have been so far but verj
few such cases This IB attributed to the
work given by Ihe local railroads.
While Iho state of affairs In regard to th (
poor in Kane township this winter Is mosl
satisfactory , the snmo cannot be said of the
counly nt large and the poor fund Is already
overdrr-wn $3,200. The supervisors bsfon
adjourning Saturday ordered $4,000 trans
ferred from the general to the poor fund
The board U confronted with a somewhal
serious condition , as the levy fop the pool
fund this year Is only 1 ralfl as against m
mills levied heretofore. The members ol
the board are of the opinion that the only
solution of the pauper Juestlon and Ihe vvaj
lo properly care for the county charges It
the establishment of a county poor font
that , with proper management , could hi
made partially self-supporting. H Is verj
probable that the board , when It meets Ir
adjourned session nexl week , may take soms
action In Ihis dlrccllon nnd prepare a propo
sltlon to be submitted to the voters of thlf
county.

Gideon Hawlcy. the oldest locomotive en
gineer on the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern railway between Buffalo and Chicago
and probably the oldest engineer In Iho
United States , Is soon lo bo retired on a
pension of $97 per month.
For fiftj-fivo > oars , relates the Chicago
Chronicle , Mr Haw ley has been a railroader
reader , for fifty > cars nn engineer on the
Lake Shore road He Is 73 years of age and
Is a resident of Conncaut , O. He has wit
nessed the rcmirkablo evolution of the
steam engine When ho stepped upon his
first locomotive- 1S4G ns n fireman on the
Michigan Central there was no cab for his
protection from the weather. A canopy
stretched upon four upright rods was above
his head , but aside from this scant covering
In snow , rain and wind the engine crew was
obliged to rely upon storm coats. The sand
box which totlay occupies n prominent posi
tion on lop of the boiler was then n wooden
pall The fireman would fill It at a sand
bank and when occasion required Its use hn
would stand Upon the fronl end ot the cn-
glno and strew the snnd over the rails as
tlm early day train moved along nt Its average -
ago rate of perhaps six miles an h ur.
There was no headllghl to pierce the
darkne-hs There was no caboose on n
freight train , for there were neither brakeman -
man nor conductor , all the responsibility
resting upon the engineer and fireman.
Brakemen were uncccssary , for there were
no brakes on freight cars. The only b-ako
on such a train was a lever on Iho engine ,
which set brakes on the four wheels of the
lender. This lever was worked by Ihe fire
man bearing his welghl upon It A cowcatcher -
catcher was a part of every engine. It con
sisted of a number of short pointed rds
about thrco feet In length , which oflcn came
In conlacl wllh stray cattle. Conductors on
passenger trains fifty vrars ago wore known
us captains. It was their duty then as now
lo Inko the tickets. In these dajs they
wore no uniforms.
Probably no engineer living has a better
record In his particular calling lhan Mr.
Haw ley Allhough ho has seen scores of
wrecks his engine has never participated in
any largo enough to scarce bear mention.
He has scarcely taken a vacation In the last
half century and when he did it was for
only a dav or two at a time. He has been
a man ot remarkable health , loting practi
cally no tlmo on that account. Ho loves his
englno as much today as he did the first
tlmo that he stepped to the throltlc and nal-
Isflcd his early amblllon to become an en
gineer. With the debut of the first railroad
In Ohio llr. Haw ley came to this state. This
road was then known as the Mad Hlvcr &
Lake Erie and Is now a part of the Big Pour
sjotcm On April 1 , 1S49 , after a jear's serv
ice as fireman on this road , Mr. Hawley was
promoted lo bo an engineer. In 1852 ho came
into the employ of the Lake Shore , which
was then constructed only oa far east as
Conneaut , O.
In these days there were no telegraph
lines for the use of railroads. Trains didn't
ruceive their orders from one stallon to an
other as they do nowadajs by the aid of
the telegraph. . Tbon they ran according to
the time card and no train knew "whether
the ono It was to pass was on time or hours
late. All eastbound trains had the right of
way , as thev do loday. There was bul a
single Irack between the two terminal
points , with numerous sidetracks. A train
would run to a sidetrack , where it was the
cuslom for It lo pass another train , and
there wait a stated number of minutes. If
In that tlmo the train lo pass was not yet In
sight the run would be continued to another
sidetrack , It being the duty of the entire
train crew to keep a steady lookout for approaching
preaching danger. The Interlocking switches
and numerous safety appliances of our day
were unknown then. It required careful railroaders
readers then even more lhan It does today.
As has been stated , there were no railroad
telegraph lines In use In the early dajs of
railroading. There was onp telegraph com
pany's line which passed through this sec
tion of the country , and when the railroad
company wanted to send a message It
wore obliged to pay the same rnto as lhat
paid by a prlvalo clllzen. Engines In early
days were not built for speed The aveiage
speed o a freight was six miles on hour
and of a passenger train twenty miles an
hour. Occasionally a speed record was made
even ns great as n mile a minute.
The same stations which are now on the
llno'belwoen Buffalo and Chicago were also
stations In the early da > s , although the
towns were then very small and the cities
no larger than many of the present day
towns. Mr Haw ley well remembers his first
visit to Chicago. It was In 184G. The west
was then wild. Chicago was a country town.
Farmers were coming In with six and eight
horses drawlnc their produce to market.

DES MOINDS , la , Jan. 7. ( Special Tele-
; ram. ) The republican caucus to nominate
L candidate for United States senator will be
icld at the state house tomorrow night at
i o'clock. While the deathkncll of the
Jummlns boom was sounded last night after
ho result of the speakcrshlp light became
< nc\sn , jot the manngcis ot the DCS Molnes
nan announce tonight that their candidate
, vlll remain In the fight to the bitter end.
: n fact , ono of Cummins' managers declared
onlght that the sensation ot the campaign
, vould bo sprung by them tomorrow. The
jonst of the Cummins man has caused no
inxlety among the supporters of Ocar , nl-
hough that organization will see that no
ireaks In their lines occur.
U Is possible now by the icsult ot last
light to forecast pretty accurately the vote
IB between the two candidates. Of the
ilghty-one republican members of the house ,
10 ono expects that a single one of the
'orty-thrco who were lined up Kolldlj In
: aucus for the Gear candidate for speaker
tvlll desert Gear when Iho time comes to
loto on the main question nt Issue. Of
.ho thlrly-elght men who voted for Eaton ,
'our have- given their personal pledges to
[ Joar that they would vote for him and two
Uhers are Instructed to vote for him , and
It Is believed that ono more will cast a
3ear ballot when the time comes.
( icnr'n l.lst.
This will give Gear forty-nine , and pos
sibly fifty votes In the house , as follows :
Anderson of Warren , A > res of Chlckasavv ,
Baker or Ca's , Barrlnger of Palo Alto ,
Ucngaton of Jefferson , Black of Mills , Blake-

The above list shows fortyninevotes ol
the house which are believed to be certain
for Gear. The Gear votes In the senate
will probably be cast by the following sen
ators :
Alexander of Lynn , Allyn of Rlnggold , Ar-
baud of Taylor , Bachman of Palo Alto
Blancbard of Mahnska , Brighton of Jet-
ferhon , Classen of Marshall. Craig of But-

I3Ntlmutt > at Ciimmlnn' Slreiiiidi.
This list shows twenty-five senators whc
me believed to be cerlaln to vote for Geai
and II IB expected that two others will b (
lidded to the list. There are sovnty-fom
members in the above list , all of whom art
believed by the Gear managers to be ab
solutely certain. Giving to Cummins the
three or four doubtful members , his vote
would be forty-two to seventy-four foi
Gear. The Gear people say this Is the high
est figure it will be possible for Cummins
to reach and they are disposed to claln
that he will not get more than thirty-nine
votes all told.
The result of last night's caucus for th (
spcdkershlp seems to be generally accepted
ns having settled the senatorshlp. The sup'
porters of Gear claim the results have car
ried out iheir predlcllons in a remarkabli
manner nnd Indicate that their claim madi
several months ago that Gear would havi
seventy-six votes on Joint ballot Is certali
to be substantiated E H. Hunter , who hai
practically been In chaigo of Gear's cam-
palgn , said today.
"There can bo no doubt that the sena'
torlal fight has been sctlled. The caucm
last night did It. Gear Is certainly a dozei
votes stronger In the house than was Dr
Bowen , on account of the early pledge1
made by some of the Gear men to Eaton
There Is no question us lo the situation litho
the senate. There are twenty-six out , o
thlrty-flvo votes over there among the re
publican senators certain to be cast foi
Gear. It may bo that this vote will be Increased -
creased some , and I would not bo surprlsec
If our figures were bettered by some threi
or four than the seventy-six which we havi
been claiming. Anhow , we have got vote ;
enough to defeat a combined opposition , I
such a thing were possible , No one has
however , suggested a bolt and Instead o
there being any danger of a comblnatloi
agalnsl the expression of last nlghl's caucus
It Is moro probable that the democrats It
the house may come in line and make tin
vote for Bowen for speaker unanimous. , "
