B THE ST. JOHN GIVES UP HIS JOB Gene al Manager of the Rock Island Road : Resigns Under Preesure, RESULT CF LAST CUNMIR'S STRIKE Activity as Head of the Generil Managers' Assoclation and the Conscquent Co to the Compuny the Causes of the Rupture. CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—(Special Telegram.)- General Manager E. 8t. John of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific has resigned. He re celved word this afternoon that he had been elgcted vice president of the Seaboard Line, a rather obscure road which runs tween Norfolk, Va., and Atlanta, Ga., immediately accepted and severed hi nection with the Rock Island This change will no doubt cause consid etable comment among railrond men, inas- much as St. John was one of the oldest em ployes of the Rock island road, having worked his way up from the position of sta tion agent, through all the Intermediate offices, until he was made general manager, | but among Rock Island officials the resigna- tion of Mr. St. John was no surprise, In fact it_has been anticipated for several months. 1t is reported on good authority that John was requested to take the action did. When the strikes broke out last sum- mer he was active in the organization of the General Managers' association and was made ith president. [is aggressiveness in this direction o enraged Debs and his followers | that they centralized their efforts against the Rock Island road. As a_consequence th Rock Island was one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest, losers among western roads by the strikes. This angered President Cable and other high officials, and it was decided that St. John must go. He was requested to resign and some months ago Mr. St. John began looking for another position. — His | election to the vice presidency of the Sea- | board Air Linc today was accordingly im- niediately followed his resignation as general manager of the Rock Island. st.

But there things that even railroad men forget in cast- iig up the balance sheets for the year;| things which have been intimately associated | with thelr lives during the past twelve mionths, and The Bee suggests that over the walnuts and the wine today they give thanks for blassings which have been very much in evidence, but which are sesmingly ignored by the faithful. General Passenger Agent Buchanan of the | Etkhorn can, with much feeling, devote af géction of his blessing today, as the steaming soup Is before him, to the thought that the existenco of the Western Passenger associa tion made it possible for him to sit pon namerous boards of arbitration at per dally sit and actual expenses added. ‘Bdward Lloyd Lomax, general passenger and ticket agent of the Union Pacific, whether bé take turkey at homo or at the Auditorium in Chicago, can afford to be profoundly grale- ful that the long-standing differencos between the Oregon Railway and Navigation company and the Union Pacific have finally been ad- justed and that his long con‘inued absence fiom home (s not without some reward General Possenger Agent Francls cf the jurlington will have a perfect right to cele- Dbfite the day and rejolce that his line has t#anscontinental trimmings since October 15, afid that he will hereaffer ba permitted to sl with the great ones of earth and listen to their words of wisdom.

This amount it is thought Is $1,000 a month, although the receivers in the Unlon Pacific cases peti- tioned the court to al'ow them each $18,000 per year, on the ground that the trust was 80 vast and the interests so enormous that it would require their entire attention, and that thelr private business would suffer to that extent. There is a well founded rumor that the receivers have drawn thelr allot- ments for November, but rothing of a definite nature could be learned at headquarters, people connected with the departments being as dumb as oysters REORGANIZATION, Proposed Suceessor of thy Westers grr Associntion GO, Nov, 28.—~Chalrman Caldwell of tern Passenger association tendered resignation today. 1t was accepted and the Western Passenger assoclation has passed out of existence. When the meeting con vened this morning Chairman Caldwell sald it the lines wished to form another associa- tion they would be to choose such chairman ns they desired. A resolution de claring the Western Passenger association out of existence was introduced and adopted, with the understanding that the Bmigrant Clearing house shall remain intact. Chair man nldwell will be retained, with his prin cipal assistants, for the purpose of manag- ing the clearing house until asscclation affairs are in a_more definite shape than at present. For the purpose of providing for the expenses of the clearing house all the roads present at the meetfng pledged them- sclves to contribute pro rata. The roads so voting Included several which have not of late been members of the Western Passenger assoclation, and their total number was greater than the total ever in the association #t one tyme.

He thought something definite would result within a day or two. ‘‘We are not inclined to reduce rates, because we have Instances now how hard it is to get them back when once reduced. The normal Denver rate for nearly a year has been demoralized on ac- count of the scalp from Utah common points and with this staring us in the face it is natural we should go slow, Of course if the Kansas: City-Chicago rate ‘of $0.50 eontinues the same rate will undoubtedly be applied to Omaha.

It is of Ne- braska against the state of Iowa, as represented by their 'varsity elevens, and as the most intense rivalry has always ox- isted between these two institutions a battls royal may be sanguinely expected.

Both | teams have been working incessantly for weeks past and may be expected to be in the finest . possible = condition. It s one of the closing games of West- ern Collegiate association, the other boing played at Kansas City between Kansas and Missouri. Many things depend on the game. lowa and Nebraska at present are tied in the standing, each haviug lost a game to Mis- souri and won a game from Kansas. Kansas expects to defeat Missouri this a ternoon. It this happens the victors of the Omaha game will be tied for the championship, with a chance to win the pennant, which is worth something. Moreover, there is an old score to scttle between Iowa and Nebraska. In three years each team has de eated the other once, and one game is a tie, Today's contest will, therefore, decide who stole the boots. NEBRASKA'S TEAM IN GOOD SHAPE. Since its victorious trip to Kansas the Nebraska team has worked hard to perfect its play for today’s game. It is now in prob- ably its strongest condition. Hammung, the new man at center, has held his own so far against the veterans he has met in_oppos- ing teams, and is considered safe. Wilson, left, and Jo right guard, are both big, husky fellows, well qualified’ for their posi- tiong, although Wilson is a little slow in getting into the play at times. Dern, cap- tain and right tackle, is a veteran, and with Oury, an Omaha boy, also a veteran, at left le, the support of this position is assured. Shue is down for right end, but it is highly probable that he will be supplanted by Wig- gins. Shue was hurt in the game with Mis- souri, and has not fully recovered. Whipple, another Omaha boy, is down for left end. Ho s very heavy for the place, properly be- longing at tackle, but he s quick and gets around well. Behind the line Spooner, the Council Bluffs boy, is at quarter. It is his first season on tho team, but he has been doing excellent work, and 'is considered relia- ble. ~ Yont, at right half, and Flippen, at left, are standbys. Their work on the team in the past has gained them a name outside of the state. Both are in fine form, although Yont is not showing up so weil as could be wished In tackling the line. He is a little slow and sometimes misses the hole. Fair, who plays full back, is big and strong_and very swift, bug does not punt well. He bucks well and hif blocking around the end and calching are good. In one point the Nebraska backs are weak. They are all prone to fumble. This has cost Nebraska every game she has loft this season, and oa it rests lowa’s only hope, Nebraska's backers ure afraid of the fluke. It may not come. HOPE OF THE HAWKEYES. Towa will be represented by a team that was pronounced in Chicago to be one of the best that ever lined up in that city. It has weight, skill and experience, and has been coached encrgetically and conseientiously by Roger Sherman. Its greal point is line bucking and cnd runs, Herrig, the cham- plon western sprinter, being depend:d on to show his ten and two-fifths gait several times during the game. Full_personal descriptions of the members of both teams have hitherto been published in The Bee Last night the Towa team reached the city, accompanied by a dclegation of partisans, and took up its quarters at the Dellone. Towa men are proud of the team, and there will be a good representation of Hawkeyes at the grounds today, So far as known the names and weights of the men who will line up at Association park this afternoon are: Towa. Position: Nebraska Hayes, Right end ....Wiggins, 140 Colling, 170..... Right tackle *Dern, 170 Leighton, 1 Right guard . .Jones, 180 Ivinson, 17 . Center ... Hammarg, 185 Allen, 200 .

Substitutes—Towa: Tngersoil, Kinley, Bremner. Nebraska ney, ndt, Wiggin, Thorpe. It will be noticed that the Towa line is a ! little heavier than the Nebraska line, about a pound and a half to the man. This state- ment is made to forestall future conversation concerning ‘‘be:t.” If Wiggins, who is thirty- five pounds under Nebraska's average, was up (o weight, the “beef” would be in our favor.

The evening show opened with an exhibition distinctively western. An old- time wagon train came rattling into the | ring. The two heavy wagons, one tralling Dehind the other, were drawn by twelve mule teams acd 'w span of heavy hors which were at the wheel. Two hardy, sun’ browned “mule skinners” managed the out- fit as handily as any of the first whip that came afterwards did their tandems or four- in-hands. This wagon train was the outfit that came overland from Fresno, 220 miles, with ten tons of dried ralsins.

From the Greatest of all Nerve and Brain Restorers. Paine's Celery Compound Makes People Well. is Watch the Crowded Street of Any Large City. By dfar the finest porirait galleries in the world are the crowded streets of a large city. “What a serlous, lired expression on most every face!” one can't help saying to himself. It is rare that one goes by that does not wear | something of that strained, worn look; and | how many more pale lips there are than rosy ones. How often the eyes are dull, the flesh flabby, and that tell-tale line from the corner of the lip to the angle of the nose, drawn painfully deep. Poor health js_unmistakable to the most casual observer. When the body Is but poorly filled out with flesh, and a feeling of languor pervades the system, plainly there is some- thing lacking in the vital, nutritive powers. Impure blood s keeping the tissues poorly fed and starvingly vitalizad, Get the blood pure with Palne's celery com- pound and languor and debility will leave the body. Restore the nervous energy to the | brain and nerve cells and good epirits and vigor will take the placz of despondency and moodiness. Backaches, persistent headaches, that general feeling of fatigus, neuralgia, rheumatism, and heart weakness that shows itself in frequent palpitation—are all but vari- ous symptoms of & nervous organizaiion badly nourished. Paine’s celery compound promoies the healthy activity of the organs that make the blood and keep it pure. The weak parts of the body are thus ensbled (o build them- selves up when this magnificent nerve and tissue bullder is employed. The complete re- covery and repair of the diseased organs in this way goes on rapidly, naturally, and the happy results are permanent. The effect of the intelligent use of Palne's celery compound in all wasting and debilitating diseases is to check at once the decline in strength, and to keep the tissues from further degeneration. g OR.
