As an engine lay "m the clear" yes
terday afternoon awaiting the coming
of No. 0, the fast mall, Track and Train
had a talk with Fireman Seeber, who
stokes coal on that run. The speed of
the train was the principle subject. The
distance from Grand Island to North
Platte Is 138 miles, and the usual run
ning time is about two hours and, fifty
minutes. But much faster time than
that is frequently made. Besidos carry
ing several tons of mail tho principal
object of that train is to cet over tho
road. Very often No. 9 is behind time,
and that is when she whizzes. One
afternoon about a month ago she was
runnlnz four hours late out df Grand
Island. On that particular day tho run
to North Piatto was made In two hours
and twenty-eight minutes, cutting down
the lost time twenty-two minutes. The
train makes two stops between here
and North Platte one for water and
one for coal. Grand Island Indepen

What promises to be tho sensation of
the current theatrical season is Samuel
E., Rork's production of the musical
comedy drama, "The Queen of tho
Moulin Rouge," which comes to the
Keith next Monday evening. In the
past two seasons, probably no musical
production has been so widely adver
tised and talked of as "The Queen of
the Moulin Rouge," on account of its
correct and careful tftatmcnt of night
life in Paris. Thq production spent one
entire season at the Circle Theatre in
New York City, six months at tho
Olympic Theatre in Chicago, and has
enjoyed record-breaking engagements
in the larger eastern cities. It comes
to this city with almost tho entire cast
and production Intact, which will be by
far tho largest musical organization to
be seen here this season, stage settings
macnificicnt costumes and electrical
effects for which manager Rork is fam
ous.
ExtewU FrMtt Street Sifag.
Tho Union PnciOc Is so awfully busy
these days that it works construction
gangs at night; at least it performed
such work Saturday night when it ex-1
tindtd lor nearly a block its sidetrack
on the north side of west Front street.
There are perhaps people who will con
tend that this work was done at mid
night so as to escape injunction pro
ceedings by some citizens who don't
want a track down that street, and per
haps this view of the mattor is correct
At any rate the length of the sidetrack
was increased, and In somo future
night it will probably bo extended cast
to the Pacific Hotel. You can never
tell what thn Union Pacific has Up Its
sleeve; some day U may build a new
depot.
