Locomotive building in Nebraska i
to be resumed by the Burlington at its
Ilavelock shops. Orders have beei.
(riven for six engines to be constructed
at once. This order follows a slack
period, during which a large number
of freight and passenger engines built
at those shops have been given the
thorough test of hard running on tht
road for several months. So satb
factory ha been the result that it ha
been found cheaper and better for the
Burlington to build its own locomo
tives. Estimates on construction as
compared with the Burlington sbopr
at Burlington, la , and Aurora, 111.,
showed that Ilavelock could handh
the work with lessexpense thaneithei
of the other two shops, consequently
tbe construction expenses, ranging
from 89.000 to $11.0 h per locomotive,
will be spent in Nebraska.
Among the improvements contem
plated at Ilavelock in the near futun
Is a new steel and brick oil house- fo
the storage of the lubricants needed
on the 500 engines, which will be sup
plied from that point. World-Heraid.

Happy New Year.

B. & M. Makes Some Changes.
The new year's greeting Platts
mouth received from the B. & M.
railroad was not exactly a pleasant
one, as this city loses the office ot
superintendent of motive power of the
B. & M system, which will herealti r
b located at Lincoln. According to
a circular issued by the railroad com
pany and effective on January 1, 1902,
it. W. Rhodes is promoted to be t; e
s iperintendent of motive power.
SJpersediug D. Hawksworth. who h -cjmes
general foreman of the P.atts
mouth shops, superseding II '. Helps
who will probably continue as Mr
Hawksworth's assistant.
The office of the superintendent of
motive power will be removed from
i'lattsmouth to Lincoln, where
e in porary offices will be established
up town until the new addition to the
Lincoln depjt is completed, when the
o.lice will be located there, and the
draughtman's office will then be
in ved from here. Along with the
records of these offices will go the force
of clerks, including Chief Clerk A. D.
Eigenbroadt, Operater Joe Neally,
W. II. Mann. E. W. Fitt and others.
While these changes are in reality a
set back for Mr. Hawksworth, they
are made at his request. II has
served the railroad company Ion and
faithtully. and as the duties of the
position became greater each year a
younger man was needed for the
position, and his assistant Mr. Rhodes,
was chosen. Mr. Hawksworth has ever
bifti faithful to his home town, as well
as to the interests or the railroad
c 'in pa i iy, and lie enjoys a popularity
a nong ail classes of railroal men not
equalled by any official on the B. & M.
system, and his experience and judg
ment will continue to nave consider
able weight in tiie direction of the
company's affairs.

Some of the u.ateiial for the con

over the Missouri river is now heiiiK
unloaded on the Iowa side, and
preparations are leing made to
commence work on tl e structure at

of this bridge will nive employment to
a larre force of m.n.and will natu ally
' be of material ben tit to the city dur
ing the coining summer.
During the year 1901 the ivpperberi:
cinar factory tuned out a total o
5,000 cigars, and it is propjeJ to
increase the product this year to a
round million, which can be accom
plished by the assistance of smokers
who appreciate first cla-s home made
and union made goods. This factory
is one of the important industries of
the town, furnishing employment to a
large numlier of skilled wuikint n at
jtnVli wages, and its payroll islargtr
than anyone concern here outside of
the li. & M. Every patriotic I'latts
mouth smoker should consider it a
pleasant duty during the year 1902 to

Clemmons Wants Another Trial.
The Lincoln News says: "Uncle
Noah Clemmons, the aged bachelor of
Cass county, who lost a suit against
his nephew George before the supreme
court six weeks ago, asks the court to
give him another rap at his relative
The controversy all relates to a rich
farm near Murray.
Some years ago '-Uncle" Noah, feel
ing the weight of ad vancingyears, per
mitted his mind to dwell on tbe possi
b:e comfort to be derived from the
presence of young company in his
lonesome home. He sought out his
nephew, Geo. W. Clemmons, in Iowa,
and proposed that George and bis wife
move to Cass county. Should they
take up their residence with him he
agreed to convey to them title to bis
land. His plan was approved by the
young people and they moved. But
the uncle's dream turned to a night
mare in a brief time, and he longed tc
eject nephew and niece from his land
They objected and he brought suit
winning below but losing in the
supreme court. It is this order of re-
ver.al that heobects to. It was based
solely on the ground that the tria;
court excluded the evidence of a wit
ness who was in the court room during
the progress of the trial and heard all
the testimony that had gone before,
contrary to the instructions of the
court.
Hut, say Polk & Polk, attorneys for
"Uncle" JCoah. this was not the onl
poiut in issue. As a matter of fact.
they say, this was really immaterial
Two other points were raised material
in their judgment, but ign red by th
commissioners writing the opinion
vs a further reason for the suprem
court to vacate its former ruling, tin
attorneys say:
"The contract involved in the cor-
troversy was one for personal suppor' ,
care, maintenance and filial attention
on the one hand, and for a future con
veyance of a valuable farm on tin
other hand. The contract had not
been performed as the plaintiff had
resided with the defendant but two
notiths when they were ordered to
vacate and the relations pievious'x
exising were terminated. The con
tract not ha vinii been carried out ant;
the relations between the parlies
having become strained, mutual con
fidence and affection no longer existr
ind the contract was one that, u id-

specifically enforced.
Will Continue the Fight.
The Omaha News says: When the
blanket telephone franchise ordinance
passed at the last meeting of the Souti
Omaha council was signed Tuesday ly
M;iyor Kelley. members of the council
were hopeful that the matter had been
finally deposed of.
Tom Parmele, of the Plattsmoutl.
company says, however, that his com
pany Is not yet through and that in all
probability an effort will be made ti
epeal the new ordinance in the neai
future, possibly at the next meeting
of the council.
If the council is asked to repeal or
amend the new ordinance the old fiht
will be on again. It is bothersome,
as some members of the council, wh
are candidates for re-election, are not
desirous of being put on record as to
stronuly favoring the old company.
It is noi expected that the new com
pany will be able to accomplish muci
until after the spring election. It it
understood that it will take a hand ii
ioeal politics in an effort to help elect
men to the council who will not bt
loo much prejudiced against them.
If the light is carried into the cam
paiitn. it looks us though candidate-
for the council will not be allowed to
sp nd much of their own money loi
campaign purposes.
Fined for Hunting In Iowa.
The Glenwood Opinon says: Last
.suuday II. H. Kuhney and Carl Hum
phrey of Piattsmoi'th came over to tin
Imji toin lands on the Iowa side of tin
river and were banging away will
their guns when Geo Storey pouncet
down upon them. They did not hav
the Jowa license and George who ba
police authority from the state
brought them to Glenwood toappea
b fore Squire I Jay. They were as-
e ied a tine of 81 and costs w hich tin
paid. They went home feeling a-
though they Lad been on a trip U
some foreign conntry and hai beei
taken up as pirates or kidnappers
The boys are excellent fellows, bui
they .simply were unfortunate in noi
knowing the law. They were might;
triad to get off so easy because the law
of Iowa says that every non-resident
shall be fined not less than $25 and not
more than $100 for hunting game any
where in the state. But though the
two fellows in question got off remark
ably easy, still they paid pretty dear
for the rabbits they killed after all.

The Leading Clothier
Wants Possession of Land.
Wednesday morning's World-Herald
says: Aged and decrepit, Charles R.
Metteer is seeking to retain possession
of his home In Cass county, near Weep
ing Water, upon which he has lived
since 18C8. and which is now threatened
to be taken away from him by a
nephew, Robert Vail.
In 1868. under the provision of the
pre-emption laws, Metteer filed upon
the eighty acres of laud now involved.
He erected a house, broke up the land
and has lived there ever since. Sub
sequent to the entry, a railroad com
pany claimed tbe land, contending
that it was a portion of a grant from
the United States. The filing of
Metteer was refused and December
16. 1901, a decision was banded down.
the finding being that tbe railroad
bad no claim and that tbe land was
subject to homestead entry Metteer
took steps to file bis homestead, only
to discover that a couple of days after
the decision was reached, Vail bad
appeared at tbe land office and made
bis filing. A contest has been filed and
an interesting state of facts are ex
pected to develop.
Vail has been a tenant of his uncle
for some eight or nine years and has
paid a rental of 8200 per annum, never
laying claim to tbe title. Some
eighteen years ago Metteer had trouble
with tbe land. At that time William
Murphy '-squatted" upon the property
and required a payment of 8800 before
he would move off. Tbe land is
estimated to be worth $00 per acre.

There Is a whole sermon In the par
lance of the day, "get busy" that is.
get to doing something; get to work;
be a doer of the word and not a heir
er only. A dozen synonyms will sug
gest themselves for the colloquia lim.
yet It has. perhaps, a pregnane; of
meaning and a rugged force which
none of them quite duplicate, as is
often the case with the living speech cf
the people, as compared with the dead
speech' of the books. "Get busy" is the
gospel today. The man who does not
get busy is distanced from the ftrart.
Ihe stress of competition, the eag?r
pursuit of wealth and advancement,
leave no chance for the man who idles
Lis chances awry. Get biity r.t some
thing; even If it is not Qui:e wrat
you like, do the best you can, and
hope for better things. But while you
are hoping, do not stop working. Get
busy keep busy. Get busy for the
good of the community. If it isn't all
it should be, try to make it better,
more prosperous, more progressive.
Don't sit like a big frog, croaking all
the time, and never trying to do any
thing else. Get busy in a hopeful, help
ful enterprising way. The man who
gets busy has no time to be a busy
body; his only Interest in the affairs of
others is to help where he may.
