Two Second district brakemen
had a little fun with a farmer boy
in town last night, which may re
sult disastrously to them. The
farmer boy desired to secure a posi
tion as brakeman, and the two Sec
ond district men learning of this
represented to him that they were
the officials who examined appli
cants. They took the boy to a box
car and gave him instructions in
signals, for which they charged him
a fee of three dollars. They then
wrote out what purported to be a
.pass to Grand Island and gave it to
the applicant, telling him to go to
the Island on No. 4 last night and
there he would find a job awaiting
him. The boy attempted to go
down on No. 4, but of course his
pass" was not recognized. He re
ported the matter to the police and
it is likely the two smart Second
district brakemen will have some
little trouble getting out of the snap
into which they plunged themselves.

If we had a marshal, Mr. Chey
nej who knew his duty and had
the courage to perform it, it would
not be necessary for any citizen to
file a complaint against the saloon
keepers for keeping their back doors
open on Sunday. But you know,
Mr. Cheyney, W. R. Morgan as an
officer is far from being a glittering
success; you know that only a few
months ago you said that Mr. Mor
gan only saw the landscape in front
of him: that he could not see a
street fight which occurred just iu
front of him. If Morgan, as an offi
cer of the law, would go to
the saloon-keepers and demand that
they keep their places closed on
Sundav. there is no doubt in our
mind that they would comply with
the instructions. What Morgan
needs is a tonic that will strengthen
his nerves and give him sufficient
courage to perform the duties which
he knows he should perform. The
city has had marshals who saw that
the saloons were closed on Sunday;
if Morgan cannot keep them closed
he acknowledges his inefficiency,
and should resign the office he is
attempting to fill.
The national democrats of Ne
braska met in convention at Omaha
Wednesday evening and nominated
J. M. Woolworth for supreme judge
and J. C Crawford and J. Sterling
Morton for regents of the state uni
versity. The prominence of the
candidates will no doubt command
quite a vote from both wings of the
democratic party in Nebraska.

There is no better evidence of
improving times than the fact that
there is an unusual demand in
North Platte for houses. They are
so eagerly sought after that would
be tenants offer bids, one applicant
raising the price offered by another
applicant. It is generally conceded
mat jNortu Platte s resident popu

It is a rather peculiar coinci
dence that when Wallace precinct
was strongly republican the farm
ers there raised better crops than in
any other part of the county. But
for1 the past six years the precinct
has been strongly populist anddur
ing that period not a full crop has
been harvested. There was a time
when the precinct was dubbed
"Egypt" on account of the bounti-
iui crops, out tnat cognomen was
dropped several years ago.

S. H. Donehower has been pro
moted from fireman to night hostler.
Fireman Jeffrey has been ordered
to take an examination for engi
neer. Engineers are being run hard
these days and nothing short of a
doctor's certificate will secureatrip
lay-off.
Ex-conductor Blood has gone to
Denver to investigate the chances
of securing employment in that sec
tion. Since the above was put in
type we learn that Mr. Blood has
secured a passenger run on the
Cheyenne Northern, running from
Chej'enne to Orrin Junction.
Joe Roddy made his first trip as
an engineer yesterday, going to
Julesburg and bringing down a
stock train. He has Tracy's en
gine during the latter's absence.
and has for a fireman his brother.
Jim facetiously remarked that he
thinks he can make a good engineer
out of Joe if he stays with hiiri long
enough.
While coming up on No. 3 Tues
day night. Engineer Whitlock
struck a flock ot sheep just west of
Brady and killed fifty-six. A tramp
riding on the pilot of the engine,
was struck by several of the car
casses and when he got off at this
place he was smeared from head to
foot with blood, entrails and wool,
and presented a sickening sight.
He, however, was not injured.
North Platte printers are rapidly
leaving the trade and taking up
railroading. H. L. Walsh was the
first to go to firing, then Joe Mc
Graw went on as a switchman, Roy
Vernon followed as extra caller, ,
Charley Samelson is on the extra
fireman's list and Frank Baldwin
on
the extra brakeman's list at
Grand Island. Will
possibly be the next
the case."
There is still talk
Leonard may
to throw up
among
local
railroad men in regard to a: new
time card, and also extending the
run of train No. 5 through to North
Platte. Passenger travel over the
Union Pacific is very heavy and it
frequently occurs that passengers
leaving North Platte on No. 2 are
compelled to stand until the trainir
reaches Kearney, or Grand Island, j
The same crowded condition exists'

run through to this city it would re
lieve the crowded condition of the
other trains.
John Taffe.the efficient car check
er, has taken his annnal lay-off and
has been spending the time in
Omaha.
There were three sections of train
No. 2 yesterday, the Gulf train,
coming in at 9:45, the Overland at
10:35, and a stock train following
later. It is a little unusual to run
a stock train as a section of a pas
senger train.

j what, yet there will be a good crop
