It is said officially that the Burlington
passenger earnings for June will show a
small increase. This statement is gratifying

in the history of the road. Journal.

During the fiscal year ended , June 30 , the
number of miles of railroad track laid was
1,306 , showing a decline of twenty-five per
as compared with 1891. It is predicted by
Railroad Age that 4,000 miles of track will
be laid this year in this country , and it proves
by reference to past years that this will be
about a fair average. Most of the construc
tion of the present year will be confined to
short lines built to fill out existing systems.
All new passenger cars being put on the
road by the Burlington along its line are
marked with the one word "Burlington" in
big golden letters , along the top , instead of
with the "Chicago , Burlington & Quincy" or
"B. & M. in Nebraska , as formerly. All
cars sent to the shops for repair are also
similarly marked. A number of the cars up
on which the change has been effected are
now in the service , and the effect is one that
readily commends itself Journal.
E und trip tickets will be on sale to Dead-
wood and m > c springs , o. u. , irom juiy >
to August 10th , good to return until October
10. at one fare for the round trip. This will
afford a very desirable opportunity to make
a cheap trip to the cool retreats of the Hills
and to visit the famous Hot Springs of South
Dakota. These Springs are situated in the
midst of the picturesque Black Hills , and
present unequalled attractions to the invalid ,
tourist or pleasure seeker. The thermal
waters are sure cure for rheumatism , nerve
troubles and all the ills man is heir to.
On last Friday evening , twelve bottles of
beer were stolen trom a car in the yard ; and
on Sunday evening a number of way cars
were entered and various articles taken , two
revolvers , an overcoat , etc. , being the things
purloined. These repeated thefts attracted
the attention of the police and the company's
claims man , George Laverty ; and on Mon
day , after some close trailing , they succeed
ed in taking into camp , Al. Bice , Earl Kelley ,
and a white and a colored bum , whom they
thought responsible for the deeds enumerated
above. Young Kice was the only one held
under complaint and he succeeded in break
ing out of the city jail on Monday nieht and
has not since been apprehended. It is stated
that the boys have virtually acknowledged
their guilt , and some of the goods were cap
tured with them. The two bums helped to
dispose of the articles secured. Much sorrow
is expressed for the parents of tiie youths
who have thus strayed from the path of vir
tue.
