Wescott's Sons Alwayt the Home of Satisfaction I CONTINUE AT BUn L Under Their Present Supervision Many Changes for the Better Have Been Made. The policy of improvement I hat has been carried on since the as sumption of the ollicc of shop superintendent by William Baird, is constantly being pushed and the simps are continually having new additions made to them, as well as machinery and devices to increase tin; ability of the dilTer ent departments to turn out more rapidly and with all tint excellence which tin; 1'lattsruouth shops has the reputation for all over I he Burlington system. The brass foundry here, which is the only one on the lines west of the Missouri river, has received a number of improvements lately and several more are contemplat ed I hut will add greatly- to the facilities of this department to turn out its work. The interior of the shop has been thoroughly overhauled and whitewashed ami presents a neat, and clean appear ance to (lie eye, and the building has bad a new roof placed on it and is now in far heller shape than il. has been for years. The means of running the machinery wnf&rd SPECIAL WE have placed all Ox fords in a special sale to close them out.

In years past the brass in the foundry was melted in pots con taining 300 pounds of metal and were heated by coal fires, which caused a great expense, both in fuel and in tho time taken up in melting the metal, but now the brass is melted in crude oil fur naces, one of which will hold 1, 000 pounds and the larger fur nace 2,500 pounds, and by the use of the oil a greater heat can be produced and the metal reduced to a melted state in about twenty- five minutes, where in the former furnaces it required a greater time to melt it. This department, under the management of Fore man John Ltd, has turned out a great, amount of work for the company, and it. is of the uniform good quality that has charac terized all the work turned out by the shops here. The busiest, department of the shops in the amount of work fs the steel car shops, which does all the repair work on the steel cars for this part, of the system, and here the spirit, of improve ment inaugurated by Mr. Itaird is seen at its best, as this simp is being rapidly enlarged to accom modate the fast i increasing amotint. of business that is being; sent in here from all parts of the system. The shop, which has been in use for several years, has had stalls for only thirteen cars at. a time, but as the new sheds erected on the west, side of the shop yards will be used by Ihei supply department for the stor ing of material it will' give the steel car .-hop a chance to secure the additional stall, making 23 in all that can be used at one time, and will enabel Mr. Parker and his men to get out the work much more rapidly. In addition to the new stalls secured for use here several new pieces of ma chinery will be added, including a new and improved furnace that can handle much larger section of steel and increase greatly the number of cars turned out of this shop. It is expected when the improvements contemplated are finished that this will be one of the most, complete and up-to-date steel car shops west of the Mis fissippi river and one capable of handling the rapidily increasing business in this line. The build ing to be used for the steel car shop has recently received a new roof that makes it water-tight, as has also a number of other build ings in the shops. The plaining mill has also re ceiving in the last few weeks a great deal of the improvement which has been passed around the shops, and while not entirely complete, the changes are being made and in a short time this will be one of the most up-to-date de partments. The lloor of the building has been raised some 1 inches and a new floor of wood block placed in the building, which has necessitated the chang ing of the machines here onto the new floor, which has been carried on without any loss of time. A new system of pipes and fans to remove the sawdust from the dif ferent, pieces of machinery have also been added to the equipment of the shop and the sawdust is carried to the boiler house to be burned up and gotten out of the way. Mr. Tippens, the foreman of this lepartment, is constantly alive to anything that will tend to the betterment of his shop, and conditions there has greatly im proved over that of a few years ago as far as the facilities are concerned for getting out, the work. The Hurlington shops here should be a matter of pride to the citizens of I'lal tsmoul h, and their improved condition, due to the untiring efforts of .Mr. Baird, the superintendent of shops, a source of much pleasure, for it shows a disposition on (lie part, of the Burlington officials to recognize the value of the shops here, lo cated as they are in the most, ad vanlagous place on the system, and have always turned out the best class of work, and the men employed in the shops tike a pride in having everything J hey do first-class in every respect. BANQUET AI IHE WON C TEMPLE Last, evening Nebraska Chapter No. :i, H. A. M., held a largely at tended meeting at the Masonic temple, at which time William Hummel, Nelson Jean and S. O. Pitman of Murray were given the Hoyal Arch degree by the lodge. Following the initiation of tho candidates the members of tho lodge adjourned to the banquet ball, where a sumptuous banquet had been spread by the ladies of St. Mary's Guild of St. Luke's church, and the affair had been prepared as only these ladies know how to prepare an event of this kind, and the members of the lodge who participated in the en joyment of the banquet were loud in their praise of the delicious dinner served. The table was ery handsomely decorated in yellow and white, daisies and eoryopisis being used in the dec orating scheme and the room presented a very beautiful ap peardance with the snowy linen ami sparkling silver of the ban quet board and the lovely Moral decorations. The occasion was otic of the most pleasant that the lodge has enjoyed and the de licious banquet, served , in four courses, was nil that anyone could possibly ask in the way of templing things to eat.

EASTWOOD Successor to John Bauer Main Street VERY GOOD CROWDS MEETINGS Many Attend Both Day and Night, and All Seem Deeply Interested. The meetings at the big tent jcslerday were well attended, de- pile the exceedingly warm weather, and those who attended were treated to a service of more than usual merit. Last, evening before the regular meeting a twi light prayer meeting was held, participated in by a large num ber, and served as an inspiration for the services held later in the evening. Fvangelisl Smith took for his subject last evening "The lleason for Not, Being a Christ ian," and his address was most forcible and eloquent and the statements he gave as to the reasons many give for not joining with the Chris tian movement were presented in a manner that made n very deep impression on his hearers and will doubtless produce much good among those who heard his able address. Mr. Klingler, one of the gifled singers with the evangelist, sang in a very impressive and pleasing manner "Won't, You Come Back Home?" and the sentiment expressed in the song was one I hat touched deeply every one present. The evangelist and his helpers are laboring hard for Hie advancement of the Christian teachings and everyone who can should take advantage of the op portunity to hear Mr. Smith, whose sermons are right to the point and free from all secterian ism and are sure to reach every one who attends his meetings.

C. Janda and Miss Lillian Jeliuek, and it was simply impossible not to do justice to the tempting luncheon. Following the lunch eon the bride was showered with many handsome and useful gifts from her friends, accompanied by their best wishes for her future happiness. After a short time spent in enjoying some music the company departed for their homes, feeling that the oc casion was one of the most pleas ant they had ever at I ended.
