what time in the season the farm

have, an institute held, and what
topics they would like to have the

applications for dates should be

glad to have farmers throughout

this matter so that we may be able

Passenger train Kb. 3, which
left this station at one o'clock
Tuesday night met with a rather
bad wreck at Roscoe. seven miles
east of Ogalalla, while running- at
the rate of fifty miles an hour. The
accident is attributed to a broken
rail. The engine and forward cars
passed over the rail in safety, but
the three rear cars were derailed
and turned over on their sides.
The wreck was at once reported to
headquarters in this city and the
wrecking" train accompanied by
some of the officials and Dr. McCabe
was hastily dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival there it was found
that none of the passengers were
badly injured. Some eighteen or
twenty had received bruises or cuts
from broken glass, but all were
thankful that their injuries were
not worse. A track was bunt
around the wreck and traffic on the
road was delayed but a short time.

Tuesday a hunter near Hershey
found eleven pairs of shoes con
cealed in a stack of alfalfa hay. He
reported the find to Sheriff Miller
and deputy sheriff Keliher went up
and brought down the shoes and
they were identified as those stolen
from Max Etnsteia some six weeks
ag-o. The mystery surrounding-this
robbery was further cleared up
Wednesday by the receipt of a box
of jewelry from the officers at Lara
mie. This jewelry had been secured
from two men who had attempted
to dispose of it. The jewelry was
identified by Max Einstein as that
stolen from his store.and the Lara
mie authorities were wired to hold
the men until the arrival of depaty
sheriff Keliher, who left ior that
place "Wednesday night. The men
in custody had on new overcoats,
and there is but little doubt they,
with Hugh Jackson, are the fellows
who committed the Einstein br-
glary. The supposition is that the
men concealed the goods in the hay
stack at the time of the robbery
and allowed them to remain there
until a few days ag-o, when the two
men uncovered them and then left
for the west. They were afraid to
take the shoes with them or else
left them as Jackson's share of the
booty.

The city council will hold a
special meeting" this evening" for
the purpose of considering- the
question of allowing" the Union
Pacific company to obstruct Elm
street by the construction of the
proposed ice house. Publicopinion
on the matter ot allowing" the com
pany to obstruct the street is about
evenly divided. Those in favor of
giving" the company permission to
do so argue that the street effected
has never been graded or used
north of the railroad track and that
the city is not likely to grow so
that the street will be used. They
also claim that should the city op
pose the company in this matter it
might conclude to abandon North
Platte as an icing- station, and
thus take away employment from
North Platte laboring men.
During" the past season the ice
ing" of cars furnished employment
to a number of men, who otherwise
would have been entirely idle, and
paid them fully $12,000. Those
who are opposed to obstructing"
the streets believe that the Union
Pacific has already closed too many
streets at points where they cross
the tracks, and if allowed to ob
struct Elm street would abstract
;other streets, in Ihe future. To al
low the company to virtually close
the street in question would
be establishing" a bad pre
cedent. They claim that
the idea of the company is to have
as few crossings as possible, for in
time to come the rity may demand
a watchman at each, which would
entail expense to the company.
Fred Sawyer Will Artz and
Joe Pillion left this morning" for -a

Governor-elect Pingree of Michi
Sfan, whose specialty seems to be
denunciation of existing" rates of
transportation, offers this prescrip
tion to the railway companies: "If
the railroads would cut off their
high priced attorneys, discard their
lobbyists in the legislature, discard
their 1.000-mile tickets, and permit
all persons to ride at the rate of 2
cents per mile, they would earn
more money and be in better favor
with the public, from whom they
derive their support."
The Union Pacific Railway com
pany is making a number of minor
improvements on the Wyoming
division. At Almy a new depot is
being constructed. It is of the
standard size, containing baggage
and freight rooms and living rooms
for the agent and family. At Evan
stoa the foundations are being laid
for an ice house of 6,000 tons capac
ity. The building will be com-
plefced in-J:iuie .jfeij this season's crop

made. This, allowing five minutes

The legislative returns show that
the populists in Nebraskahave been
obliged to trade themselves almost
outjof existence in that body in
order to prevent the election of a
republican majority. The free sil-
ver democrats outnnmoer tnem
largely in both houses.
These men have never for the
most part been enamored of the dis
tinctive fads of the populists, but
have gone into the fusion for what
there was in it for themselves and
most of them are ambitious to make
a record that will bear inspection
after the excitement ot the late cam
paign has subsided. They have
deftly used the free silver craze, but
they are well aware that nothing in
that direction is possible and that
in their capacity as lawmakers for
the state that lead has petered ont.
The Journal on looking over the
ground is satisfied that the state
need not fear any radical populistic
legislation during the coming win
ter. There will be no stay law, no
anti-railroad legislation, no attempt
to polish off the banks and to drive
manufacturing corporations out of
the state,
There will be naturally a pretty
strong move made to secure all the
offices possible for the victorious fu
sionists, but as a matter ot course
that is legitimate enough and re
publicans cannot make any very
cogent objections to itfor they have
generally exercised their preroga
tive in this direction to the fullest
extent. State Journal.
