There was a second No. I, Wednesday after noon. James Kendlen is visiting his brother Frank and family. C The Burlington is preparing to build into Yellowstone park at once. A daughter made her debut into the Cozad family, yesterday morning. Mrs. J. F. Kenyon went down to Hastings, i last evening, on a short visit. Orville Burnett went down to Hastings, last evening to take in the show. Supt. Campbell was in Lincoln, first of the week, on business of the western division.

A stock special of 20 cars of fat cattle left this station yesterday afternoon. The ship ment was made up by C. T. Brewer and oth ers, the energetic mayor having the bulk of them. The railroads have decided to raise the through rate on grain, June loth, two cents a hundred. They claim the raise is caused by the passage of the Newberry bill which cuts their local receipts. The Phelan opera house at Alliance was formally opened to the public, on Thursday night of this week, in that popular play, “The Count of Monte Cristo.” The opera house is named after Supt. J. R. Phelan, formerly of our city, who is a mighty factor in the up building of Alliance. As a freight train came into Juniata, on Wednesday morning from the west, the rails spread at the cut just west of town, throwing two cars and a caboose <jff the track. Quite a large force of hands has been repairing all day. All trains were delayed. Passengers were transferred once by trains meeting there from each direction, The first train passed at nine o’clock Wednesday evening. Nobody was hurt but some damage was done to the cars.—Juniata cor. Omaha Bee. At the Burlington yard, last week, a party of about forty prominent railroad men as sembled to watch the practical test of the Dunn automatic car coupler, which is being in troduced by the Universal Car Coupler com pany, a local corporation. The most trying experiments were made with a view to fully ascertaining the exact value of the invention in actual service on the road. All degrees of curves were run and the cars were coupled and uncoupled upon them and all sorts of sudden and unusual strains were put upon the appliances, but in every case they worked per fectly and gave great satisfaction. The coup lers which were used in the experiments have had steady and trying work on the slag train, so their strength has been amply demonstrat ed.—Denver News. The rule of Nebraska railroads which limits local tickets to the day upon which they are purchased is to be tested in the courts. Under this rule, which went into effect nearly a year ago, parties purchasing local tickets must use them the same day or forfeit the privilege of using them. Local agents are permitted to refund the money for unused tickets within three days, after which time they must go through the red tape process in the general offices. A citizen of Hardy purchased a ticket for Superior on April 18, but did not use it. Several weeks later he presented it to the agent at Hardy and asked for a new ticket or his money. Both were refused. He then boarded the cars and offered the ticket. The conductor refused it and demanded fare. Not receiving it he ejected the passenger, who now brings suit for damages. It is hardly probable that the courts will sustain the rule. A daughter was born, Monday night, to Mr. and Mrs.T. II. Ellis. Another of Engineer Pronger’s children is down with the scarlet fever. Assistant Supt. Highland of Denver was at western division headquarters, Wednesday, on railway business. Mrs. Julian Hulaniski will leave for Chica go, Monday on 6, to take in the glories of the Columbian exposition. No. 6 was about four hours late, Tuesday, the result of a switch engine in the Denver yards failing to get in the clear.

Master Mechanic Archibald has purchased the two lots on Mcfarland street immediately south of Engineer Snyder’s residence, and expects to build a comfortable cottage there on soon. Conductor and Mrs. V. H. Solliday have been in Red Cloud, this week, disposing of some property there. They contemplate making extensive improvements to their prop erty in our city, this season. The Burlington flyer was several hours late last Tuesday night, owing to an accident at Guide Rock. No. 5 was thrown off the track at that place and five cars ditched. The ac cident was caused by the washout of a bridge, but no loss of life resulted.—Lincoln Journal. It is rumored that we will soon have a new time card which will bring the train to Im perial in the evening to stay over night and go out in the morning. This will be a great accommodation to our people who can go to McCook or further on business and return the same day.—Imperial Voice. A dining car service has been placed on the B. & M. trains running into this place. The car lays over here at night and is placed on 13 going west and goes to the meeting point and is brought back by 16 and taken to Wymore where 15 picks it up and takes it through to the meeting place with 14 which brings it back to this point.—Red Cloud Belt. The railroad managers ought to realize by this time that tha people are inclined to resent the determination to keep the world’s fair rates up to the highest possible notch. If something is not done to put reasonable fares into effect pretty soon the result will surely be the wholesale cancellation of resolutions to visit the fair. This is not an idle threat. It is business. S. H. Colvin is expected home on Sunday. C. J. Ryan will be absent until the loth of the month. The decision of the supreme court in the impeachment cases will not be delivered until next Monday, to which date the court has adjourned.

H. VanWyck continue to appear in a number of the state papers. In the meantime the general is up and well on the way to recovery. If all the prominent financiers and states men who declare that the country is going to the devil unless the coinage of silver stops, and all the other prominent financiers and statesmen who declare that ruin can only be averted by free coinage, are all rigHt, it is plain to be seen that the country is strictly “between the devil and the deep, deep sea.” We are assured by a newspaper that seems to be the personal organ of Commissioner General Garneau that the “smoking room in the Nebraska building is a dream of beauty*” or words to that effect. It is a very good scheme for Mr. Garneau to have a nice smok ing room for himself and His friends, but what about com and hogs and sugar and beets? The “dream of beauty” that the sound, prac tical business men of this state want to see at the World’s fair has something to do with showing up our great staples to good advan tage. The Nebraska appropriation was not made for the purpose of promoting the con sumption of champagne. It was made for business.—State Journal.
