cided to place round-the-world tourists tickets

the regular one-way word’s fair rate where
they receive a one-way haul on world’s fair
round trip tickets.
Red Willow county people who contem
plate visiting the World’s Fair should be
careful about purchasing wild-cat cheap rail
road tickets, which may prove worthless, and
thus cost the purchaser much annoyance. The
safe way will be for the people to call upon
Mr. Hulaniski for information. He can sell
you tickets just as cheap as they can be found
anywheie. When you buy a ticket from your
home agent you can rest assured that it will
carry you through. This article is not written
as an advertisement. The Tribune offers
these suggestions, knowing that if adopted
they will save hundreds of our people trouble
and expense.
The pay car is due on Thursday, May nth.

The friends of Engineer and Mrs. Newton
Newkirk will most sincerely mourn with them

Carl, Tuesday evening, at the crossing at the

entirely. The wagon was, however, consider
ably the worse for the fracas.
F. C. Rice, superintendent of the Illinois
lines of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
authorizes a denial of a widely circulated re
port that head officials of the Burlington had
ordered a 15 per cent reduction on the system.
On the other hand he says it has been the
policy to raise the wages during the past year.
This is notably true in case of the train men,
whose pay a few days ago was made standard.
Mr. Rice knows no reason why there should
be any reduction of wages. In some of the
poorer paid departments wages will be raised
slightly in the coming month. The falling off
in business during March Mr. Rice attributes
to poor country roads, he is confident by June
1st the movement of grain will begin.
