At the residence of Mr. Gilchrist in West
McCook , Wednesday evening , July 13th , 1892 ,
Mr. Alfred II. Bagley of Akron , Colo. , and
Miss Ollie Cook of Oxford , Neb. , were mar
ried in due form by Justice of the Peace J. E.

The Western Burned Clay Ballast and
Paving Co. has fifteen acres of ground that
they are burning into ballast for theB. &M. ;
their contract being to furnish 150,000 yards.
They employ at present eighty men and turn
out 800 yards , consuming four cars of coal
daily. The patentee is Jesse Stubbs , who
burns the clay , furnishing nothing but the
labor , and gets forty cents per yard at the
kiln. One man can turn out twelve yards of
ballast per day. This kind of clay has been
successfully used as ballast in stock yards ,
for walks , stable floors and for street paving.
The B. & M. have a contract with Mr. Stubbs
at Utica and Atlanta , in Nebraska , and an
other one is to go in at Table Rock and have
already contracted for over 700,000 yards of
ballast. D. Watson Is the foreman of the
Suttou plant and will burn the first kiln on
contract. Chas. Falkner is state supt. and
burned the first test kiln on Mr.Stubbs' farm
in Iowa. Button Advertiser.
A most peculiar and distressing accident
happened in the B. & M. yards here at an
early hour , Tuesday morning , in which en
gineer H. H. Meyers was severely scalded
about the lower limbs and hands. No. 41 ,
the westbound passenger , had started to
pull out of the yards and just as it reached
one of the upper switches , the yard engine ,
that had been standing on an opposite track ,
suddenly shot forward and plunged into the
the side of the head passenger coach , wreck
ing the cab of the yard engine and doing
considerable damage to the coach. .Engineer
Myers , the injured man.was in chi rge of the
yard engine and when the crash came , was
caught in the wrecked cab and trrribly burned
by the escaping steam before he could be
rescued. ' 1 ne engine that caused the trouble
was No. 217 and why it happened to start
forward just at that time is a mystery. The
engineer thinks tht jar of the passing train
open the throttle , b tit whether this is a true
theory or not will probably never be known.
The injured man was removed to his home
in Westlawn and is getting along nicely un
der the care of Dr. Barr. Alliance Times.
A physician who has given the subject atten
tion and observation thinks that the health
iest children are those whose mothers have
not reached the age of 35 years. Those born
of mothers between 35 and 40 years of age
are 8 per cent weaker , and those of mothers
of over 40 are 10 per cent weaker. The child
ren of aged fathers and younger mothers
have as a general thing , a , strong constitu
tion ; but if the parents are of the same age
children are less robust
It is customary in the town of Quito when
a visitor takes off his hat on entering a room
to beg him to put it on again , and in absence
of permission leave is generally requested.
This , it is said , arises from apprehension
that cold will be taken by remaining uncov
ered. The same persons upon going out of
doors take off their hats to flashes of light
ning , no matter if rain is falling.
