For inf"rinatton regarding rates , etc , call nn or' undress C.E MAGNEtt.Agnetl E. E. Magee of Lincoln is visiting his sister , Mrs. J. E. Robison. The company is laying a substantial new platform at the depot. Engineer Vierson came up from Red Cloud , Monday night , on a short visit. Mose Carmony was laid up , latter part last week , but is around again , this week. Mrs S. L. Moencli arrived home , first of tle week , from Tier visit to Omaha and Orleans. Roadmaster Rogers has been having considerable sickness in his family , past week or ten days. Mrs. E. C. Ballew went to Missouri , yesterday morning , on an extended visit to the home folks. Mrs.V. H Solliday went down to Red Cloud , close of last week , on a visit to relatives and friends. Mrs. C. W. Bronson arrived home , close of last week , from visiting her mother in Ainsworth , Iowa. Conductor Tom Mundy is able to he out and around again afterquite a severe attack of the prevailing influenza. The Burlington is thoroughly wetting down their plat east of the depot , preparatory - paratory to seeding and planting more trees. Agent Magner announces his withdrawal - drawal from the horse-trading business. He is too well pleased with his present animal's fleetness. Tom Wilkinson and Charlie Brewer had a head-end collision , last Friday night , in wliicli the latter's headlib ht was slightly damaged. Conductor W. G. Reddin is ill with a severe attack of pneumonia. His father has been telegraphed for and was expected - ed toarrive in the city , last night. A force of men have been spading up th'e yard east of the depot , this week , in order that the plat may be again seeded. Last year's effort was not a success. A Kansas City paper says : The , Williams Palace Sleeping Car company has been organized with a capital stock of $5oooooo , to manufacture in this city a new car unequalled in point of coui- fort , convenience and elegance by any sleeping car now in use. The new car i the invention of a local railroad main , who was formerly connected with the Missonri Pacific and the Rock Island , roads. The leading shareholders of the company are eastern capitalists , who are heavily interested in railroads and railroad machiatery. J. 0. A. King and L. Buchanan of this city are also , stock- holders. The main feature of the new car is a berth which disappears at the will of the passenger into tine wall of the car , and is confined in a space of one and seven-eighths inches Mattresses I of air are to be used , and all bed clothing can be put iii ! ockers underneath - neath the seats of each section. The berths will be made of steel and alumi- num. C. P. Judge , the clever foreman of the B. & M. bridge carpenters' gang. was making Benkelman his headquar-I ters a'couple of days , first of the week. To a Bee reporter Mr. Judge gave t' " information that he is about to con' plete one of the nicest residences in M c- C ) ok , and when completed it will bee o cupied by himself and family. It i , a story and a half high with four large rooms. The doors of this dwelling i will all contain the latest pattern of colored glass , also the windows. Mr. Judge being a skilled carpenter and carver , he has finished the interior of the dwelling in a most artistic style. , Birds , roses and other images carved I from wood here and there bedeck the walls and ceiling in such a manner as , to attract the eve of the most fast t tidions. During the past twelve coil- secutive years Mr. Judge has been a steady employe of the Burlington road and the manner in which he has always - ways discharged his duties has convinced - vinced his employers that he is a faithful - ful and conservative man. The erection - tion of this cottage will show that Mr. Judge has saved his earnings and instead - stead of living an aged life in pain and i misery , he will enjoy it with ease alai comfort.-Benkelman Bee. FREAKS OF NATURE. . 6oale Cttriona Thinge Than Ammar and As. toniah Men of Science. Nature's freaks of fancy afford s atrango study. People are constantly sending to the National museum supposed - posed fossil animals and other oddities which are in reality mere accidental forms carved by water. A pebble in a stream gathers about itself 'grains of sand until an odd sbapcd lump is made. A favorite shape for such lumps is that of a turtle with four legs , a head and tali , even the lines of the shell being - ing sometimes distinct. Similar concretions - tions of carbonate of iron and clay assume - sume the appearance of petrified pea- nuts. Break one , and you will always find inside a small spiral winkle shell , which has served tis the nucleus. A queer counterfeit of this land , forwarded - ed to Washington not long ago , was an alleged fossil foot of a child , with a little - tle stocking on , the latter showing signs of wear on the ball of the foot and on the heel It was only a concretion , as was likewise what appeared to be a petrified - rified oyster on the shell. One eminent scientist has been amusing - ing himself of late by making imitation spider webs out of quartz fibers. It is well known that copper wire tan be drawn to a fineness much less than the thickness of a hair-in fact , to the diameter - t ameter of the one-thousandth pm t of an I inch. But glass may bospun finer than copper , while even the finest spun glass is not so fine as silk fiber. The latter , however , Is coarse compared with the threads that can be obtained by melting quartz under a blowpipe and pulling it out. Such threads may be redu ed to a thinness of one-millionth of inn inch. Drawn to such tenuity , they arts invisible - blo under a microscope of the bgu. st power. Yet they are stronger in hropor tion to their thickness than the best quality of bar steel Enough thread like this could be made from a single cubic inch of quartz to go around the world 658 times. A grain of sand barely large enough to be visible to the naked eye I would yield 1 , 000 miles of thread. Obviously no practical use can be made of threads so extremely fine. Comparatively coarse ones were woven into cobwebs by the scientist aforesaid. They would not catch flies because the , were too slippery , having no gluten on them , like real cobwebs. This difficulty was got over by moistening a straw in caster oil and gently stroking the threads with it ; then the webs captured flies fairly well. But a cobweb is incomplete without a spider , so it occurred to the experimenter to attract an arachnid to his web by the buzzing of a fly. It was f difficult to make a fly buzz to order , but a satisfactory imitation was produced by permitting' a timing fork to vibrate against the quartz fibers. This fetched the spider rgrit away. The scientist also amused himself with blowing bubbles of quartz , which looked exactly like the most beautiful soap bubbles.-- Washington Star. . Sponge Fishing. The Greeks are considered the prin cipal sponge fishers , and it takes much experience , skill and hardihood to qualify - fy a man for a first class place among sponge divers Many of the most vain. able specimens are found at a depth varying from 10 to 35 fathoms. To aid in the descent , the divers make use of a triano k r stone , with a hole in one cot' nor , through which a rope is spliced. On reaching the deep sea gardens , where the rock ledges are clothed with marine growths , the diver , retaining a hold on his rope , dexterously breaks away the holdfast of the sponges and places them under his arm until asufficient load has been gleaned , when a pull on the rope signals his companions above that he is really to ascend , and he is then hauled to the surface , bearing his ocean treas- uTcs.-Exchange. Manuscript of "The School For Scandal : No printed version of "The School For Scandal" was prepared for publication - tion by Sheridan. He always alleged that lie could not supply one with which he was perfectly satisfied. Yet he made the attempt , and Mr. Fraser Rae has discovered the copy containing his final corrections of passages in many scenes , which Moore must have overlooked , the documents at his disposal havingrecent ly been put into Mr. Fraser Rae's hands by Sheridan's descendants for the purpose - pose of writing a complete biography of the great dramatist and orator . The manuscript is imperfect , yet enough is extant to show how effectually Sheridan could add a fresh charm to his polished phrases.-London Athenaeum. Rulers of horses and Men. It is instructive to compare the visage - age of the ruler of horses with that of tae ruler of men. The horseman's fare shows command in the mouth ; the drill sergeant's iu the month and the eye The last is undoubtedly the most effective - ive instrument in exacting obedience from our own species. Here we get a h : it of the ran5e of that want of dignity - nity , that element of coarseness , which is discernable in the countenances of some men and women who have much to do with horses. The higher and no- bier method of expressing authority is outweighed by the lower and more ani mal one.-Blackwood's Magazine. Are Men Getting More Vain ? A local philosopher , who makes a practice of observing other people's manners and commenting upon their habits , states that nearly every man now carries a pocket mirror. According to him , this habit has grown immensely of late , and nearly every man can be observed at frequent intervals pulling a glass out of his pocket and looking at the set of his necktie or the appearance of his whiskers.-Philadelphia Call.
