Tom McCarl has been enjoying a visit to Denver, this week. Some of the boys are kicking because they can’t get a lay-off; others because they get them too often. Cheaper rates to the world’s fair are still expected, but not an accomplished fact. Engineer Finch is down from Denver after 237 which is in the shops for a complete overhauling. Lena Coy was up from Holdrege to witness the commencement exercises, and visited Mc Cook friends a few days. A fence now encloses the old eating house grounds, which in due time promises to be come quite an attractive little park. Supt. Campbell has sold the three lotes noith of his residence to M. Altshuler, who expects to build thereon in due time. Roadmaster Joselyn of the Orleans branch gravitated to the western division headquar ters, Saturday, on business of his office. Meeting of Free Masons, Omaha, June 14th to 16th. Fare, one and a third rate for the round trip, tickets onsale June 11-16 inclusive. J. S. Young, who switches in the yards has brought his wife from McCook and intends making this place his future home.—Red Cloud Chief. Mr. and Mrs. George Leming will leave for Salt Lake City, Utah, last of next week, the former to attend the telegrapher’s convention, the latter to visit her parents. Engine 83 from the Lyons branch which was so badly mashed up recently in disputing the right of way with No. 6 in Denver yards is in the shops here being overhauled. Charlie Ward came in Monday night from visitjng in his old home in Ohio and the world’s fair. He says that the only objection he has to file is that there is entirely too much to see. , In order that their employes may have an opportunity to see the fair the Burlington has classified the men, giving each class certain dates within which to attend the great exposi tion. The passenger rate from here to Chicago has been lowered a notch. Round trip tick ets are now $28.62, and the one-way fare is $17.60. To St. Louis the round trip rate is $26, one way $17. Tom Wilkinson’s ill fortune procured him a rest of five days, first of this week. Tom says that he would like to feel the thrill of pleasure of being able to put in one complete and un interrupted month, just once. Harry Tyler arrived home on last Friday night from visiting the world’s fair. The family will remain there a while longer. He reports the array of attractions as endless and the exposition in general out of sight. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Thomas of Thomas, Pennsylvania, arrived in the city, last Friday and were the guests of Engineer and Mrs. J. H. Moore until Monday afternoon. Mr. Thomas is an extensive oil man in Washing ton county. The contract has been let by the B. & M. company to Kilpatrick Bros. & Collins for the construction of their Sheridan branch line from Sheridan, Wyoming, to Great Falls, Montano, where connection will be had with the Great Northern, which will give them a through line from Chicago to the coast. A new time card is announced to go into effect on Sunday at noon. About the only important changes in time will be in the run ning of No. 4 and the Imperial train. No. 4 will then arrive here at about 7:35 mountain time. The train for Imperial will leave at 8 and return at 6:30 o'clock, mountain time. A very slight change will be made in one or two other trains. Speaking of the graduates at the late com mencement exercises of their high school the Alliance Grip has this to say concerning the former pupils of our city schools: “Misses La Vaughn and Eda Phelan wore lovely empire siiits of fine white China silk. White rose buds and smilax. No city has ever shown a graduating class of more good looking and intelligent young ladies than were there pre sented.” Two masked men held up a train on the Burlington road at Nodaway station west of Corning, WeSnesday night. They detached the baggage and mail cars and compelled the engineer and fireman to leave the engine and ran it and the baggage and mail cars a few miles down the track. Entering the baggage car they asked the baggageman what train it was. On being informed that it was only a local passenger, they exclaimed with an oath that “they were after the Denver express,” and immediately disappeared. I here will be a speciel train from Hastings to this point on Sunday. Engineer J. I*. Heber and Charlie are visit ing in Peoria, Illiinois, leaving for there on 2 Sunday morning. Mrs.]. V. O’Connell and the family will leave for Philadelphia, next Monday, on a visit to her old home. Miss Lila, daughter of Conductor G.

Brakeman Ulugh has resigned his position on the B.& M. and has sought more congenial climes. Engineer Crosby is back on No. 141 and 142 with the 52, the former radiant with smiles the latter with a new coat of paint. No. 163 is not very heavy at present, but when you get in on No. 164 you feel like seek ing your downy couch and holding it down for 24 hours. Only one brakeman on the Orleans and St. Francis mixed train now. This makes it pleas ant for the crew when they get 15 or 20 box cars between the engine and coaches. W. S. Perry was looking over the Oberlin branch on Tuesday. One of the station boys at Oberlin asked if he was the new section boss, when he got off the train at that place. One of the section men left a tie on the track a few days ago just to see if No. 13 would knock it off. Fortunately she did knock it off and the said section man is looking for a soft snap on a farm. They are Dead. A private telegram received here this morn ing announces that both of County Clerk Roper’s boys who were so fearfully burned with phosphorous at Indianola, Wednesday, died this morning. The affair is one of profoundest sadness and every heart impul sively goes out to Mr. Roper in his over whelming affliction and great burden of grief. The supreme court of the state of Nebraska in the decision rendered by Justices Post and Norval on Monday afternoon acquits Messrs, Allen, Hastings and Humphrey of the charges preferred in the impeachment cases, and now it were perhaps just as well to drop this un fortunate matter right here. The war is over. The state officers involved have been exon erated—Chief Justice Maxwell dissenting— let us have Peace. There is a probability that the opera house project in connection with the A. O. U. W temple building will not materialize on ac count of lack of funds, and that it will be twc stories high and be used for business anc lodge purposes only. We sincerely hope thal such may not be the case, as there is an im perative demand here for a better and largei opera house; while the need for more business houses is not quite so urgent. The bimetallist league held an interesting session, Tuesday evening, and perfected ar rangements for a thorough work of organiza tion over the state. About a dozen new mem bers were present last evening, including Judge Broady, H. VV. Hardy, ex-Congress man Laws, Representative Cornish and oth ers.—Lincoln Call. Taylor’s elephants caused a lively runaway over on east Dennison street, Wednesday morning. The frightened horses run through three fences in their mad flight. Editor Rosewater and Chief Justice Maxwell agree. Though important persons they do not constitute a majoritv. Edwin Booth, America’s greatest actoi and tragedian, died Tuesday night at his home in New York City. The street commissioner has two bums working on the streets today in balls anc chains—an unusual sight.
