An incident ocourred last week that will mar the escutcheon of a youncr man whose uame we did not learn and lessen the confidence of at least one man in hu man nature. The circumstances as we learn them aire as follows: D. B. Dyer, of Ogallala, started six head of hor?es east in charge of a j'oung man in whom he had confidence. The young man got as far as this place and putting five head of them in Stoddard's stable he concluded to "right about face." Remembering H. G's advice he acted the part of "so west." Mr. Dyer by some means learned of the "slope" and watchful sentries of the law j informed who halted and itook him into J custody at Julesburg, also recovering the horse. The voung man has excellent chances for "going over the road." The Telegraph takes The TitruuxE to task for opposing the holding of mem orial s err tees by thtGr.acd Arm.ta-p&ri. petuate the memory of the dead soldier." We did not use the definite article "the" iu the sense as referring to the present case; but it's the practice in general we consider objectionable. As a rule, the services are not to perpetuate the memo ry. It is true that many pleasant things mav be said of the deceased, and his vir tues can be extoled, but the whole exer cise partakes more of a "House of Sor row" than that of eulogy and remem brance. The relatives appear in deep monrninsr. The chair of the deceased is draped with the same emblem of sor row; the room and the members also The whole scene is solemn and silent as the funeral obsequies. The speakers al lude in words of tenderest eloquence to the record and goodness of the deceased, The tender, loving and affectionate feel ings of the mourners are touched and the scene is soon one of sorrow and weeping. If this is not a repetition of the funeral, an intensification of grief, a raking open of love's dearest memories, what is it? We believe in all honor and respect to the dead, but we do not believe in three or four funerals.

"climbed a frog" while taking a side track on the branch. No damage beyond loss of time. The order reducing the days work from ten to nine hours went into effect on Tuesday the 3d. The boys have lots of work to do so they are worked several uights during the week. Xmas, New Years and the cold snap together gave several of the boys "holiday fever" and new men on the road were at a premium. Two wipers were elevated to the position of firemen Engineer W. T. Chadwick has been assigned to pull the "Flyer' on the branch between Denver and Julesburg. This train is a flyer indeed, for it makes about fifty miles an hour. Charlie Hall has, during the rush, made two very good records that, while not remarkable for anything except "getting over the road" are instauces that are not often even in rushes. Last week he left Sidney for Cheyenne and during the 24 hours doubled back to Sidney and out again to Cheyenne. This week,- he ac complished the three times over the Di vision in 24 hours betweeen here and Sidney.
