Revive an Old Clwstnut.
About once 111 two years a report
trains circulation that North Platte
will be abandoned as a terminal
point on the Union Pacific and that
the shops and division will be
moved to Kearney. This old chest
nut was resurrected yesterday, and
so generally circulated that anions
ttie more timid some uneasiness
was felt. Where the rumor origl
nated is not absolutely known, but
was probably brought here through
a two'colurnu article written by an
imaginative writer and published
a few days ago in the Kearney Hub
and later republished in the Grand
Island Independent. The tale told
by this writer was that the First
disttict would extend from Omaha
to Kearney, the Second from Kear
ney to Julesburg, and the Third
from Julesburg to Cheyenne, thus
doing away with Grand Island
North Platte and Sidney as tertnl
nal points; and that the shops of
the company would be at Omaha,
Kearney and Cheyenne. A reading
of the article published will con
vince any one that the writer in
dulged in the veriest kind of a pipe
dream, and, that here vyas no fouiv
dation whatever upon which to
build . the sensational story. In
fact the writer practically admitf
...
in his arpje that he is visionary
At the local offices of the cotnpa
ny the story was, this morning,
pronounced absolutely absurd, and
that the people were very foolish to
give it credence. Business men
and others who became a little ner
vous over the report circulated
should lose no r.leep.

Groatly Exaggerated.
The reports concerning the con
dition of Mrs. Frank Hoy, ot Gar
field, as reported in the city last
week, were greatly exaggerated.
It is true that Mrs. Hoy swallowed
a dose of carbolic acid, strychnine
and nitre, but the latter acted as an
emetic and the stomach was re
lieved of the greater part of the
deadly poison. The prompt arrival
or a physician from Gaudy also
contributed to Mrs. Hoy's relief,
and on the morning following the
taking of the dose Mrs. Hoy was
able to resume lier household duties,
and since then 110 evil effects have
been felt.
