state senate has killed the normal
school measure and this incident is
closed for this season.
JOHN M. THURSTON , Ex-United States
senator , has been appointed one of the
St. Louis fair commissioners at a salary
of $5,000. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
GOVERNOR DIETRICH , in vetoing the
Peru normal improvement bill , has
demonstrated two characteristics strong
ly claimed for him during the late cam
paign , backbone and business sense.
Tnere is no demand for the expenditure
° f $75.ooo more at Peru. The western
part of the state is absolutely devoid of
normal schools and should have prece
dence over Peru or any other point in
Eastern Nebraska , should it be consid
ered expedient and wise to invest more
money at this time in educational in
stitutions. Hoc der Dietrich !
ONE of the greatest of American citi
zens , in a period of great men , will be
the verdict of his countrymen and of
history upon the career of Benjamin
Harrison , who passed away , Wednesday
afternoon. In every station he disting
uished himself. As soldier , statesman
and lawyer he achieved eminence and
honor. From an humble beginning in
life he attained to the highest position
in the gift of the American people , illus
trating in his career the possibilities of
American citizenship. Bee.

Fitting Up a Boarding Train.
A boarding train is being fitted up in
the local Burlington yards for use of the
track-laying gang which will soon be put
at work on the proposed extension from
Toluca. Orders have been given to fit
up twenty-five cars and it is probable
that thirty-five cars will be fitted up be
fore the work is begun. Preparations
are being made to begin track laying on
the Toluca branch , next month , and i1
is probable that when once begun track
laying will progress at a rapid rate. A
great deal of material is now on the
ground at Toluca. Lincoln Journal.

Locomotive Didn't Kill Him.
Accident insurance companies would
have to go out of business and railroad
companies could do away with their
damage fund , if all railroad accidents
should result like the one of which this
story tells.
A short time ago the engineer of one
of the fast night trains between Chicago
and St. Paul , which was thundering
along over the prairie at a pretty fast
clip , became suddenly aware of the pres
ence of a man on the track immediately
in front of him. The next moment a
dark mass vaguely outlined by the head
light described a large semi-circle in the
air to the right and disappeared in the
darkness. Shocked and sickened the
engineer brought the train to a stop at
the next station , which was not far
away and wired to division headquarters
for instructions in regard to the accident.
During the waiting for an answer a small
crowd gathered around the engineer
listening to his story and conversing in
low tones over his bad luck.
"I only caught a glimpse of him" , said
the engineer. "He must have struck
some ways from the track. I guess his
clothes musf have held him together. "
JllSt then the panting voice of a Swede
coming out of Ule darkness behind the
group inquired :
"Des train go to Minneapolis ? "
The speaker's hat was gone , his
clothes were in tatters and his whole
person was covered with mud. On be
ing informed that this was tile train for
Minneapolis he breathed a sigh of re
lief.
"Vail " he said " think
, , "Ay Ay run
faster den relrode train. Ay meet train
back here en Ay run lak yackrabbit. "
At that moment came the reply from
headquarters. "You're to go on , Jim , "
said the operator , "and we're to send a
freight back for the man you struck. "
The Swede heard this , grinned and
climbed on the train as it was about to
move out of the station. He shouted
back :
"Ay link Ay got gude yoke on relrode
train. Ay ben dat feller myself. " New
York Times.
Burlington Land Filings.
CHEYENNE , Wyo. , March 7. Yester
day afternoon , the Burlington made fil
ings in the local land office on 4,960
acres of coal lands in Carbon county
Wyoming , and this afternoon made forty
more filings of 160 acres each on lands in
the same vicinity. These filings make
an aggregate of 11,360 acres or a total of
about 25,000 acres filed on during the
past two months.
The land in question is situated in the
Seminole mountains , in Carbon county ,
a few miles north of the line of the pro
posed route of the Burlington from
Guernsey to Salt Lake City.
A large party of surveyors is now work
ing in this district , locating new coal
fields , which are filed upon as fast as dis
covered. The location of these coal
fields is perhaps the strongest possible
proof that could be found that the Salt
Lake extension of the Burlington is to
be built. World-Herald.
Prizes for Letters About Nebraska.
A round trip ticket from any Burling
ton Route station in Nebraska to Yellow
stone National Park and a complete trip

Black Hills , Chicago and St. Louis. .
There are also several cash prizes.
The Burlington offers these prizes for

Made a Fast Run.
Engineer Matt Daugherty made a fly
run from Ravenna to Lincoln with Bur
lington No. 42 , yesterday morning. The
train left Revenna at 3:06 : a. in. , and at
5:40 stopped at the station at Lincoln.
This closed the run of a regular train
which had made four stops in the 124
miles in just 154 minutes. Deducting
the tiuie for stops , and allowing for an
occasional slow-up , it will be seen that
the average of speed maintained was
very close to a mile per minute. This is
several minutes faster than previous rec
ords. Saturday's Journal.
Epworth Leaguers !

Francisco cost of tickets ; how to make
