Interesting Career of Fred L.

YEARS ON THE ILLINOIS DIVISION.
Selected on Ilfferent Occasions to Knu

Inc a Enviable Keeord For Ilimaelfj
Other Notes Picked lp Alondstde the
Tracks. -
Engineer Fred L. Brewer, of the
Chicago. Kock Island & Facilic. has
had an interesting railroad career.
He was born in Moline in the year of
l!S.V.t. Ho attended the public schools
and received his early training there.
At the age of 1 years he moved to
Chicago with his parents. There his
fond wish for
rai I r o a d i n g
was gratified,
for in the year
of KS75 he se-
cured a posi
tion as lire
. man on the
Illinois diris
ion of the C,
li. I. & I. Af
ter live years
of steady ser
vice he was
I'HEU
promoted to engineer on a freight
run on the s.ame division. After 11
vears of faithful engineering his ser
vices were rewarded by his being
placed on a passenger run. He has
come to be known as one of the most
skillful engineers in the employ of
the company, as has been demon
strated in his selection by the officials
on four different occasions to guide
fast trains on their trial trips.
Mr. Brewer lives with his familv in
Blue Island.
Ihelirstof lr. Brewers experi
ences on fast runs was the time when
all Chicago anxiously awaited the tie
cison of the appellate court at Ottawa
on the hearing of t lie great Hay market
anarchist riot case whicu tl?euleil lue
fate of the conspirators. The Bock
I-!and road was c"in'iefiug with the
telegraph companies in carrying the
valuable news to the Chicago papers.
Mr. Brewer was the choseir man to
'uide the 114 on this speedy mission
The decision was received from the
stenographer and the distance was
covered in two hours, scoring a com
plete victory for the railroad, as the
court's opinion was very lengthy and
could not be handled speedily by the
operator. 1 he speed attaine.l was a
great surprise in those days, and Mr,
Brewers efforts were hiirhlv com
mended by the oflicials of the road,
as t lie eiirine was a mere scrap pile
in comparison with those of today.
When the powerful 1100 s were built
for the Hock Island., Mr. Jsrewer was
selected as the man to test the speed
and durability these monsters
The 1101 was the first one built, and
the trial trip was made three vears
ago. The trip was made in a thor
oughly satisfactory manner, and the
party of officials who accompanied
the train were elated over the run
Speed as hirh as M miles an hour
was attained. On Jan. N when
the Bock Island was competing for
the United Slates mail contract be
tween Chicago and Omaha, Mr
Brewer handled the 1102 on this trip
After a long delay lcfor j leaving Chi.

Island seven minutes ahead of time

Hilon A. Barker, recently elected
second vice president of the Chicago
Bock Island & Baeilic, and triven the
duties of general manager, is a New
Yorker, but lie has passed the greater
part of his work life within the con-
lines of Illinois. It was on the very
road of which he is now vice presi
dent and general manager that he
beiran his railway life as chairman in
1 Still. At 17 he was division engi
neer. During the oU years since
then hia'career has been one of steady
clinibing-and of earnest work, nearly
all of the time with the Bock Island
or some one of its subsidiary lines.
and always as resident, division, as
sistant or chief engineer. He is not
a stranger to the duties or title of
general manager, for in addition, to
lcing chief engineer he tiKed thut po
sition on the Chicaro, Kausas & Ne
braska railroad 11 years ago. As
assistant to the president of the Chi-
cairo. Bock Island A Baeilic since Itoi'.i
he lias had many duties which are
commonly outside of the office of an
engineer, and he lias shown his ai. lily
to meet any requirements that may
be made of him. During the last few
years Mr. Barker has been conspicu
ously idcniined wiin me iracs eleva
tion in Chicago, ami the success with
which that work has lx-en carried out
is tlue largely to his management.
Warren i. Burdy. who Ixi-ame pres-
idem oi llie L-nicago, hock isianu v
Baeilic less than a year ago, has been
with that road since 1S67. He began
as a bookkeeer in the cashier's otlice
in Chicago. Within a vear he was'
made cashier, and within ten yeas he
bad risen to the otlice of local treas
urer, with neaa.iuatiers in uicago.
E'urht years more of work earned for
him the office of general secretary and
treasurer. He was made second rice
president in ltv"7 and first vice presi
dent in lsi'i.

The last appearance of the local club
before the ojM'ning of the champion

id anticipated there will be a large
gathering at the park to see the boys

Tuesday will be a great day for the

Ted Sullivan is managing a team at

Catcher Baih, of the Milwaukee

officers with A. V. Kohler, "proprie
tor of the Windsor hotel, as president.
Harry Sonier will be in the box for
Blooiningtoii tomorrow. Kit her lltrt

The uniforms of the Boekford team
have arrived. Tiny are gray with
black stripes, and make a pretty com
bination. The caps are "Chieagos. "
Thetjuincy club is doing the sjuarc
thing by its patrons. The $1 tickets
sold last year by Friek and never used
by the holders will be accepted for
any game during the season.
The St. Paul team had no trouble
in winning t wo exhibition games with
Cellar Bapids. The rabbits are some
what crippled. Mclviblien lieing out of
the game with a lame ankNe.
The Western association umpires
have been instructed to preserve the
strictest order on the field and discuss
the points of the game with no one
but the captain. Bowdyism and pro
fane language are not to lie tolerated.
They are also instructed to be circum
spect in their conduct while oil the
grounds. Each will be expected to
wear a neat uniform on the tidd. It
is believed the clubs will endeavor to
cooperate with the umpires in pre
serving order and making the game
agreeable. The umpires are old, ex
perienced men and strictly honorable.
They will be actuated at all time by a
spirit of fairness. The umpire who
never made a mistake has yet to see
the light of day. The present staff
seems to be a rood one.
Happy Thoughts.
To please, attract and give people
something lo talk about is au art in
writing a prosaic advertisement.
Hood, of Sarsaparilla fame, is the
originator, in an extensive seiife, of
the idea of using proverbs and wise
saws as a prelix to a pleasant intro
duction of the well known virtues of
America's greatest medicine. These
quaint quotations often lit the news
of the day with startling directness,
and the moral is easily drawn, with
natural good to Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Kidney Diseases
Are the most fatal of all diseases.
Foley's Kidney Cure a guaranteed
