r - FRIDA.Y, FEBRUARY 4, 1898.
.-r V The new management of ilie
; Jjhion Pacific is-using the pruning
"Jcnife in all directions and in all de
apartments and North Platte will
feel the effects thereof temporarily
at least. In accordance with in
'' .structions from headquarters twen-tj-three
employes of the local shops
and round-house wilUgiventheir
time this evening. In making this
reduction a different plan wilL be-
pursued than heretofore. It has
been customary to discharge the
,men who have been in the. employ
- :of the company the least time, but
on this occasion the old employe
will suffer iwitti the new a man's
competency will cut-a big' figure as-'
-to whether he is retained or "shot
;out of the box." Coming in .almost
the dead of winter tne reduction is
,to be deplored, but it is thought
' :that this .cut in the force will,, in all
probability, be .only. Jrtetnporary,
and that whenthe new manage
ment gets the road in good working
'order there will be a gradual re
"placement of men and that the
- usual number will be employed.
Supt. Ebright has not resigned
the supenntendency of the city
schools, as reported, neither does

"March 18th, and if he is proven
guilty of the charges preferred
against him, it will then be time
for our over-zealous and exceeding-:
ly pure and honest pop friends to
get in their work.
