To Whom This May Concern.
With all due respects to Mr.
Sliinn and his "Authorized
Agents."
The W. C. Shinn Co., of Lincoln,
Neb., claim they have redeemed the
great state of Nebraska from the
clutches of the 'unscrupulous light
ning rod agent." I wish to inform
the people of Cass county the manner
in which they have done them such a
great kindness.
They are now, and have been charg
ing them from 25 to 35 per cent more
than myself and Mr. Baily are asking
for rods just as good as can be bought
from any manufacturer. On one job
Mr. Shinn's Authorized Agentcharged
25 cents per foot and $17.50 for points,
which price seems to prevail with all
agents. Now our price on the same
grade of work is 20 cents per foot, Hat,
including the points, and we guaran
tee every foot of rod we put up. We
rod your house and you must be satis
fied in every particular before one
cent is paid.
We are here to save the people of
Cass county money and we mean to do
so. All we ask is that you call on
anyone of the many men we have done
work for, examine same, compare
prices and then judge for yourself who
the unscrupulous lightning rod men
are.
Mr. Baily is the on'y experienced
and scientific lightning rod man in
Cass county, having many years ex
perience in such work.
The undersigned simply sells the rod
and Mr. Baily puts it on. Now kind
friends, please bear in mind that we
guarantee every foot of rod put up by
us, and if you can save from 25 to 35
per cent, and have the same protection,
who would not do so? Ask your neigh
bor, he will tell you whether we have
'fleeced'' him or given him good work
at fair living prices.
Yours for business,
Walt Yai.i.kkv,

Fifty More Engines.
The ISurlington has placed an order
for fifty 114 class freight engines to be
delivered in January and February,
says the Lincoln Journal. The com
pany now has twenty-live of these ma
chines on the lines west of the river,
and they are giving the bestcf service.
They are next in size to the 1)4 class
of machines, the largest engines used
in the freight service.
A number of balanced compound ma
chines for the passenger service will
be received by the lines west of the
river in about three weeks. These are
the same as the 1M class machines now
in use on the McCook division, which
have given great satisfaction and have
proved themselves capable of hand
ling enormous tonnage at high spe-d.
It is not known how many of the
fifty K4s will he sent west of the river,
but it is believed quite a number of
them w ill be placed here. This order
represents not far from a million dol
lars worth of machinery. These en
gines have long boilers, ex t ra large
fireboxes, and are equipped for rapid
handling of freight trains. The 1)4, or
largest cla.'S in service, now used al
most exclusively on the Sheridan di
vision of the road, are all right for long
runs and few stops, but for the class of
service demanded in Nebraska the
somewhat smaller IJIs are regarded a
better. It is said that IU engines hare
hauled sixty-live hx cars at a main
tained rate of thirty-five miles an
hour
These engines have cylinders 22x2,
fireboxes lox inches long, boilers To
inches in diameter carrying ihtj)ounds
steam pressure. The weight an the
drivers is irl,ooo pounds, and the trac
tion effort is A. ooo pounds.
