Tho Tie-up at Grand Island
Last evening's Grand Island Indo
pondent had this story of tho railroad
tie-up In that section:
Train sorvlco has boon crippled bad
ly during tho past week. Chlof Dis
patchers and othors who aro at tho
stcoring wheel In railroading nro to
day beginning to got their heads nbovo
tho snow drifts nnd from now on a
gradual bettorment in railroad traffic
can bo expected. That this section of
Nebraska has suffered the worst of
tho week's storm Is shown by tho fact
that tho Union Pacific has sent Its
best snow plows horo and tho sonw
was sent flying aong tho different
branch routes. Tho rotary plow was
brought from Choyenno and sent out
over tho Ord branch Aftor cleaning
this up It will go over the Loup City
and Plcasanton branches, ovor which
the first tralnB for a week will bo
sent tomorrow. Tho Jull plow, which
has a screw convoyor, was sent to
Columbus to clear tho main line and
then sent over tho branch north of
that city, while tho wedge plow was
sent to Kearney and will go over the
Calloway branch.
Thero has been no train service to
Ord since last Wednesday. On Thurs
day Conductor Shoemaker came from
Ord as far as St. Paul, and then turn
ed back. Thoro was no train Friday,
On Saturday tho train camo through
from Ord and tho crow was held up
at this end of tho line and went out
this afternoon on regular time. A
freight train was sent up this morning
with passenger coaches attached. A
coal shortago with tho Union Pacific
was reported up tho lino and carloads
of coal had to bo sent. While thoro
Is ponty of coal In tho yards horo,
thero was none ready for movement
and It was difficult to get nt It.
Thoro was no busier man on tho Job
handling tho rullroad trouble than
Chief Dispatcher McNutt. Ho had not
finished explaining Incidents of the
last snow, beroro tho next storm
camo on. No Booner would ono lino
of the rood bo cleared than other
blocks wero reported. Following tho
blockades at Buda and Shclton on tho
main line, Saturday ovonlng a freight
train was burled in snow at Paddock,
west of Central City, and all night tho
trains wero hold up. Ycstorday aftor
noon, tho wind which, In this city, did
not appear to bo strong, drifted the
snow In tho lower yards. The local
passengor No. 21 was tho first ono to
buck a seven foot drift, and it camo
within a car length of going through
when tho oyes of tho draw bar broko
Trains Nos. 17. 7, and 5 wero delayed
as a rosult. Freight trains, which lind
been nnnulled, wero placed on the
Bchedulos today and Chief DlBpatchor
McNutt expects to movo them as fast
as ho can get the power and train
crows. Passongor trains havo been
running with two engines and this
has taken most of tho motlvo power
for tho puBt fow days. It Is expected
that by tomorrow train sorvlco will
bo restored on all branches.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS
Uocnuso Its For Ono Tlilnr? Only,
North Pcoplo Appreciate This.
Nothing can bo good for everything.
Doing ono thing well brings success.
Doan's Kldnoy Pills nro for ono
thing only.
For weak or disordered kldnoys.
Horo Is North Platto evidence to
provo their worth.
W. F. Blalock, North Platto, says:
"I had an awful, heavy ache across
my loins which scorned to tako every
bit of strenth from mo. My back was
weak and I was so lamo that I
could hardly stand orcct. Tho kldnoy
secretions seemed to get mora disor
dered as tho pain In my back Increased
and thoy wero unnatural and too fre
quent in pasango. I waB advised to try
Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box.
Thoy cured mo of tho complaint and
I hnvo been well since."

simply ask for a kldnoy remedy-- get
