Two lathes, one planer and otic drill press were dismantled at tlu Union Pacific shops and will be hipped at once to Grand Island and Sidney. Iu conversation with Master Mechanic Barnum, The Tkiiiunc editor learned that it U quite likely that more of the ma- liinery will be moved to thosi )oiuti, as the lour machines dis mantled will not be sufiicieut to do the work which in the future will be performed at those two division terminals. It was further learned Irom Mr. Barnum that in the future only what is known as round-house ic- lairs will be done at North Platte, and that he has received instruct Hons from hit. superiors to that ffect. While the maximum force of machinists in the past at tins point has been about forty, in the future the maximum number will not exceed tourtccn and will prob ably average ten. The force in the other departments will be reduced n a corresponding ratio: Several of .the engines at this point which now need heavy repairs will be sent to Omaha today and tomorrow, and two of the 1600 class which came out of the Omaha shops Thursday will be sent here at once. Mr. Barnum said there were fcixly-six machinists, ten boilermakcrs and five Hue setters at work iu the Omaha shops, and that with that force the present needs in the way of heavy repairs to engines on the Nebraska division could be attended to. The company will maintain re pair shops at both Grand Island and Sidney, the torce at the respec tive points to be governed by the needs in the way of repairn. Asked ai to wliethcrathc strike had influ enced the company In curtailing the force at North Platte he said that in his opinion it had, though he had not been bo informed direct ly by the head officials. lie had understood some time ago that ex tensions to the North Platte shops had been planned, but he was posi tive that those plans had now been forever abandoned. Mr. Barnum, who has ever had a warm place in his heart for North t-iaiicunu hb fwi-u, .cjj.v.. - cccdinjjlv that it had been decided , . .. . . .. lo sor a.canu.u , iu this point. The reduction, which! will amount to between fifty and seveuty-hve per cent of the former normal force will be made gradu ally until the new Omaha shops arc completed, when the full cur tailment will be made. Important If True. Wednesday's daily papers coil- tain a dispatch trom New York to, Lawrence river, was to make a the effect that Governor Odell, of ' specific demand for a general in that state, will retire from politics ! crease iu nay and a new schedule and accept an executive position j August 15tb, it is rumored iu some with the Union Pacific railroad at 'quarters that owing to the shop- a salary of one hundred thousand dollars a year. Thi- is taken to mean that Presi dent Burt of the Union Pacific will step down and out, and that he will be succeeded by Goy. Odell. Should this occur, it means that the strike on the Union Pacific will be speedily settled, and that the men who have been out for thirty two days will return to work, that piece-work will not b; adopted, and that everything will again run smoothly, Beginning "Wednesday morning the Union Pactfie shops began working ten hours per day. One of the Union Pacific guards was arrested ycfitcrday forenoon on the charge of being drunk and dis orderly and lodged in jail. Master Mechanic Barnum spent yesterday in town. He Bays a large amount of work is being turned out ot the Union Pacific shops at Omaha. Ten imported men came in from the east Wednesday night and went to work iu the local shops yester day. Five of the strike-breakers quit work Wednesday, Two engines which had been in the shops for icpairs, were com pleted and brought out today. An engine was sent from here to the Omaha shops lor repairs Wednes day night.

About the first of last month Secretary Grace received an intimation that the company had decided to import a large number of machinists from Scotland, and he at once wrote the authorities at Washington as to the right of the company to do so. Such a moye would be stopped by the government. YestcrdayM Omaha Bee con tained the following: It was re ported last night upon what was considered reliable authority that orders have come from Cheyenne not to scud any more Ircight cars there unless they arc to go through the city as all the available aide- track space is occupied with loaded cars, and that if more arc sent they will have to stand on the main line. The cars iu the "hole" there are said to contain imperishable goods) all perishable goods being rushed through. It is reported from the same source that all trains are taken up the Cheyenne hill by double-headers, so that it one engine gives way the other can relieve it. The reports of impaired motive power come not from strikers but other sources. S. C. Mccombcr, chairman of the nrnlPrllvx ho.nrrl wont to ... , . . ., , Omaha the early part ot the week, and wiu probably remala there for . . , some time on matters pertaining to the advance of wages which will be demanded on August 15lh. In speaking of Mr. Mecombcr'e presence in Omaha, yestetdav'e 'Bee said: While the original in tention of the trainmen on the Union Pacific, acting iu concert with their fellow workmen on all other trunk lines west of the St. men's btrikc this action may be taken sooner than first decided on. Mr. Mecomber, it ii understood, is here to view the situation and de cide upon the best course. He wah in conference yesterday with Dis trict Secretary Grace of the machin ists. It is understood that the mutual iutcrests of the present strikers and the trainmen will lend a guiding inllueuce to the course of the latter, whatever they may de cide to do. A Farmer Makes Easy Money. The TuimiNE knows of a larmer living near North Platte who pur chased 1C0 acres of land last Sep tember and sold the tract a few days ago for an advance of four hundred dollars. The sale did not include the crop on the laud, which the farmer values at twelve hundred dollars. In purchasing the land the farmer only made a partial payment ol one hundred dollars, the other pay nents to be made later, but he sold at the ad vanced price before the second pay ment became due. The right kind of a man, it seems, can make easy money on Lincoln county laud. All Vcro Saved. "For yearn I Biilforod suoli untold nnsory from Bronchitis," writcn J. II.
