Mrs. George Goodwin left for Omaha, Sat urday morning. The Rock Island telegraphers’ strike is numbered among the many failures. The pay checks were handed out by the genial Count, Tuesday morning. Miss Florence Solliday left for Indiana on Saturday morningon a protracted absence. Brakeman A. O. Moore is down from Hol yoke receiving treatment for an injured hand. Jay Tubbs of Holdrege made a business visit to the western division headquarters, Tuesday, Tom Wilkinson dropped in to Omaha, Tuesday night, to see the sights of the me tropolis briefly. A number of cats were damaged in an ac cident at the Wauneta gravel pit, Wednes day, but no one hurt. Conrad Lebsack, coal heaver, was struck by an engine Saturday night, and jammed up against a coal chute ,vith injurious re sults to his back. Brakeman H. Hagenberger sprained his back severely, by falling through a small bridge at Red Cloud, in jumping off a freight train, first of the week. During the World’s fair the “Q” will run limited trains east and west, perhaps two trains daily each way. Upon these limited trains editorial mileage and passes will not go. The conductors are arranging for a ball and banquet on the evening of February 14th. The banquet will be served at the Commercial. A hummer with severallsets of horns is promised. Charley Gardner, who has been freight agent at this place for some time past, has been removed to Holdrege. A young gentle man by the name of E. E. Kimmel takes his position here.—Benkelman Pioneer. A freight train broke in two sections be tween Wray and Robb, Saturday, and in the resultaut collision a number of cars were smashed so that some car tinks from here had to go up and chain them together to get them over the road. James Kendlen, a brother of Frank, came up from New Mexico, first of the week, and is making a brief visit here. He was former ly in the Burlington’s employ about three years. He goes from here to Arapahoe, to spend a month or so with his parents. There was many a warm welcome for him here. We note by a circular just out that the jur isdiction of trainmaster F. D. Houlette is ex tended to include Lincoln yards from Janu ary first, this year, vice I. J. Belnap assigned to other duties. It is rumored that Mr. Bel nap has been offered a train. The same cir cular appoints C. L. Eaton, chief dispatcher of the Northern division.—Alliance Grip. The Burlington has a new agent and oper ator atthis place and it is the general impres sion that the old agent Mr. Makepeace was discharged because he was a member of the Order of Railroad Telegraghers. The oper ator, who is also a member.has been replaced. The new agent’s name is F. O. Gray and M. N. Scott is the new operator.—Trenton Reg ister. Among those participating in the ball and banquet given at Edgemont, New Year eve, by Supts. J. R. Phelan and H. C. Nutt, were Supt. and Mrs. J. R. Phelan, Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Harris and Mr. and Mrs. P. D. Gaier neau of Alliance, Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Marvin of Deadwood, and Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Woods of. Sheridan, all of whom -were form erly on the western division, and are well known in our city. * "During the high wind, Tuesday night, two box cars got away at Imperial, aiid took their flight down the Frenchman valley with thespeed of a bird on the wing. One of the cars was switched off at Culbertson in its wild career, but the other car came down the main line to within a mile of McCook. Passenger No. 3 was held here about an hour on account of the windy incident. The car which stopped near here, evidently got onto the main line after No. 5 .left Culbertson, and of cuorse before No. 8 left here. ' t The B. & M, has the shipment pass busi ness down fine. Anyone receiving a pass to go in with a car has a description of himself —color of hair, eyes, height, etc. on the pass. Recently an occasional sliippe1' went down to Omaha from this section of i 1 country on such a pass. While in the citv h» 'as shaved, had iiis hair trimmed, and other. “fixed up,” so that he didn’t appear like the man described on the pass. Up managed to identify himself by his handwriting, which, luckily for him he happened to have with him.—Hastings Nebraskan. It seems now to be almost definitely settled that the Burlington will run directly west from Sheridan into the Big Horn mountains and thence to the southern end of the Na tional Park. The Enterprise says in its last issue: "The people of Big Horn and upper Little Goose are very sanguine that the B. & M. will commence work next spring on a line to the National Park, crossing the moun tains by way of the Little Goose canyon. A party of surveyors have been at work on this proposed route for some time, and we are reliably informed that a grade of two per cent has been secured to the top of the range. This is the best grade yet found 1 across the mountains.” PEOPLE YOU KNOW. Mrs. J. F. lleber left for Denver, today on No. L Squire Fisher of War.neta was down, Tues day evening on business. G. A.

He is a young man of sterling qualities, and possesses business ability of the highest order. His many friends here will regret his retirement from Benkelman business and social circles.—Bee. It seems to be all right to have the pictures of babies in church with halos around their heads, but how everyone kicks at a live one there. _ A good way to find out what kind of religion people have is to watch them when they can’t have their own way. If you want to have plenty of coal in youi own cellar, do somthing to keep youi neigh bor’s fire from going clear out. You can’t tell much about the prayer meet ing by the size of the church steeple. Every time a sermon is heard without repent ance the devil gives his fire another stir. When you pray for a. good meeting don’ take your dog to church. A law-breaker is always a coward in heart no matter how brave he may look. Give a lie the right of wav and it woulc wreck the universe. 42nd. 42nd. 42nd. 42nd.
