The pay checks boomed trade and settle ments, Saturday. Mrs. Jacob Burnett and son Orville went down to Hastings, Wednesday evening. Oscar Yargerwas up from Holdrege,yester day, on a visit to the family and friends. Fireman and Mrs. Henry Gaughreau are rejoicing over a recent addition to their family Engineer and Charlie Heber arrived home, first of the week, from their visit in Illinois. Machinist and Mrs. Joe Smith are looking after the comfort and welfare of a fine boy baby. There will not be any excursion rates from the west to Chicago until after August first at least. Mis. F. M. Phillips of McCook is visiting the family of Agent Semands at Edgemont.— Alliance Grip. An extra was run from Hastings to this point on Sunday, arriving here about 2:30 in the afternoon. Four carloads of California horses passed through this place on 4, Sunday evening, for the St. Joe races. H. G.

A sleeper is now brought in on No. 5 and is side-tracked here until the following evening when it goes east attached to No. 4. Three sections of the sleeper are reserved for Mc Cook, which is a pleasing concession. Passenger conductors now make one run east and then go west, and so on, instead of making three consecutive runs each way be fore changing, as heretofore. This gives the boys a longer lay-off—almost twenty-four hours. Tuesday afternoon as JJo. 6 approached the city, a piece of slag ballast penetrated the air hose, stopping the train. They were delayed a few minutes while doing the “bleeding” act before they could pull into the station. It was a slight but peculiar and unusual accident. Dr. E. H. Waters came up from McCook, Saturday night. He caught his three broncos which were left with Mr. Van Meter, borrowed a saddle and bridle, and pulled out on horse back for home, through the rain, on Sunday. The',“dock” is a rustler of the first water, and don’t you forget it.—Stockville Faber. McCook was treated to another passing breeze of royalty Friday. Privy Councilor Zimmerman of the Prussion university of pub lic works and a party of Imperial German railway officials passed through in a special car over the Burlington. Their mission was looking up railroad business generally in this country and also in investigating public works ystems. The state board of equalization,consisting of Governor Crounse, Auditor Moore and State Treasurer Bartley, has completed its work of assessing the railroad property in this state and Monday afternoon the figures were given to the public. The sleeping and dining cars are assessed for a certain uumber of miles run in the state. They are assessed at 83,000 per car.

That astute manager realizes that low rates will prove a trump card foi his new line, and he seems determined to play it for advertising purposes. Herbert W. Miller died on No. 2, Monday morning, just as the train was approaching Akron. '1 here was nothing about him to identify him. His ticket and check indicated that this city was his destination. Nobody here, however, seems to know anything about the dead man. His remains were turned over to the authorities at Akron. At Holdrege on Wednesday of this week Mr. Alonzo G. Coplen of this place and Miss Bessie M. Burr of Holdrege were united in the holy bonds of wedlock, in the presence of relatives and near friends. They will be at home in our city alter the l8th. The groom is employed in the superintendent’s office here. 1 HE 1 ridune wishes them happiness and prosperity in their new estate. A Sioux City paper, in discussing the radical reduction in freight rates recently announced by the Great Northern system, draws the con clusion that the Union and Southern Pacific roads, being unbale to meet the reduction, will be forced into liquidation. It then proceeds to warn the country to prepare itself for the catastrophe. 1 here is nothing in the situation to warrant such dismai forebodings. Neither the Union Pacific nor Southern Pacific has complained over the reduction which is now generally between the coast and Chicago, and both seem to be meeting the new rates with cheerful equanimity.

The affair was, however, held over last night, when a splendid patronage was enjoyed.
