FORCE HERE
IS REDUCED BY
FIFTWNE MEN
BURLINGTON MAKES REDUCTION
IN WORKING FORCE HERE
AT THE SHOPS.
The decision of the Burlington
management to reduce the working
force over the lines west of the Mis
souri river and which affected all
lines of the operating force, has been
felt to some extent in this city
where the reduction in the working
force of the shops was made on a ten
per cent baeis for the winter months.
As far as Mas possible Superin
tendent iSahd has distributed the
reduction over the shops so as to
cause as little disturbance of the
output of the shop an possible, but
of a necessity some departments suf
fered more than others in the fact
that all unnecessary work that can
possibly be put over until the spring
season has been checked by the or
ders of the high officials and to place
the operating expenses of the road on
? low a basis as possible consist
ent with maintaining the high
standard of the Burlington.
On the rolls her 525 men have
been carried and the number reduced
has been 51. which makes the ten per
cent cut as was estimated would be
necessary. Under the agreements of
the unions and the railroads the re
ductions have followed the seniority
rule as far as possible in making the
changes in the force.
While the reduction will be felt to
pome extent over the city it is much
less than was first thought Mould
be necessary and it is hoped that in
the ensuing months the cond.tions
can adjust themselves so that the
forces of the shops over the system
may be bark at the normal rating as
far as the number of employes are
concerned.
The other shops of the system have
suffered the same rate of reduction
and at Havelock and Lincoln the
working force has been sliced some
hundred men.
SAYS NIX ON THE
LOVE LORN MUSH
Janitor of Government Building Dis
covers Cupid is Active -There
During the Day.
To gaze on the placid faces of the
employes of the government building
and especially on that of the janitor,
Anton Hasson. one would not im
agine them to be hard hearted per
sons, but the ukasa has gone forth
from the government buildii.g that
the postoffice as a rendezvous for
the love lorn must cease, as well as
the practice of writing messages and
leaving them lying around over the
lobby, exposing to the public gaze of
the rude and disinterested public the
bleeding or otherwise lacerated hearts
of the young people who have been
stung by cupid's darts.
Mr. Ilasson a few days since call
ed the attention of the reporter to
the condition of the writing desks
in the postoffice lobby and from the
looks of the exhibit submitted by the
janitor there is surely something
stirring with the young people and
romances are being turned out at
the postoffice tryst iug place faster
than "tin lizzies" at the Ford fac
tory. As a friend of the love lorn,
we would advise them to put their
burning love messages on paper and
send them through the regular chan
nels, and not have the whole city in
on their little romances.
It would look much better.
FUNERAL OF MISS BAKER.

Yesterday afternoon the funeral
services of Miss Sarah Baker were
held at 2:20 from the home of her
sister. Mrs. C. H. I'armele on Vine

parted lady. The services were con
ducted by Rev. H. G. McOlusky, or
the First Presbyterian church of

faithful and devout member. The text
of Rev. McClusky was that of Psalms
73:26 "My flh and my heart fail
eth, but God is the strengthener of
my heart and my portion forever."
The minister also read the lines of
one of the old familiar hymns whose
message of love and hope brought to
the bereaved family and old friends
the sense of resignation in the loss
that has been their part to bear.
The body was laid to rest in the
family lot in Oak Hill cemetery. The
services were attended by a number
of the old friends from out of the city
to pay their tribute to the memory
of the departed lady.

Mr. and Mrs. George Worley Pre
paring to Observe Sixtieth
Wedding Anniversary.

called when Mr. and Mrs. George
Worley celebrate their COth wedding
anniversary and the C2rd year of
their residence in this state, at Elm

big celebration tendered them by
these organizations in honor of their
golden wedding anniversary.

Worley. of Omaha, member of the
State Board of Control and former
state chairman of Americanization of
Nebraska Federation of Woman's
clubs, uill assist in the couple's ob
servance of their anni verse ry.
Mr. Worley, known as "Dad" is
S6 years old. with a territorial mi
litia record and a long civil war
service to his credit. For the past
sixty-three years he has handled,
managed and cultivated his Nebraska
farm unassisted. Residents of Elro
wood know him as an authority of
any subject from the Bible to mod
ern politics.
Sixty-two years ago the couple
met at the ol meetin' house in this
city. The simple wedding of liach
ael. Chalfant. . daughter of one of
the earliest Nebraska pioneers, and'
George Worley at the little log
church in Rock Bluff, then a thriv
ing young village, followed in two
years' time. Then came the days of
'61. when the young husband, an
enlisted militiaman. Mas called, away
from the farm for service.
During the civil Mar days that
followed Mrs. Worley took the man
agement of the farm and the pro
vision for their child upon her own
shoulders.
"We may consider these times
hard," says Mrs. Worley, "but in
those days, more often than not.
there Mas not a dust of flour in the
house. Coffee Mas made of corn
meal, ground rye and molasses. And
sugar Mas an unknown quantity."
Other members of the Worley
family Mho Mill assist in the cele
bration include Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
Worley and children, of Lincoln, and
Mrs. ft. C. Oldham, of Calgary, Al
berta. The many Cass county friends of
this venerable couple extend con
gratulations to them on the near ap
proach of their sixtieth anniversary
and trust the snows of many winters
may yet come and go before they are
calied to their final resting place.
