Casey died of typhoid fever,Tuesday evening, after quite a prolonged illness. The deceased was injured accident ally at Otis, Colorado, on the night of May 21st. His injuredfootwas rapidly and nicely healing. But after being around a few days he was taken down with typhoid fever, which resulted finally in his death. His remains were for warded to Y’ork,this state.YY’ednesday evening for burial. He has a homestead up in Hayes county, besides carried a Sl.ooo life insurance policy, over which there are indications that there will be some dispute. The deceased re ceived faithful attention throughout his long illness, especially from his cousin George Kingnan, who is a beneficiary of S 1,000 under the dead man’s will, which it is rumored, will be contested. Casey was a member of the Knights of the Maccabees, and carried $3,000 of their insurance. Besides his heirs will re cieve $750 out of the Burlington relief. The $l,ooo in the B. R. T. was made out in the name the young lady at York to whom he was engaged, but as she did not come in response to the telegram announcing his serious illness, this amount was willed to the cousin who has so faithfully watched over him during his ill ness; of the other money his mother gets $1,500 and a younger brother a similar amount.

He is the same old Joe. Conductor Frank Quigley and Miss Grace May Cummins of Red Cloud rvere wedded in Red Cloud, on Monday, the 17th instant. They are now in Chicago, and will be at home here after the 15th of August. A dispatch from Chicago states that wes tern roads have capitulated on the World’s fair rate question. Monday a demand was made on the chairman of the western associa tion, signed by the requisite number of roads, reguesting him to call a special meeting of the association, to-day, for the purpose of considering the subject of World’s fair ex cursion rates at a reduction from the original agreed basis, tickets to be sold every day by regular trains and good for return passage from Chicago any day up to and including the final return limit of say thirty days. The Camden and Atlantic Railroad Com pany has hit upon a novel scheme for refusing passes over the road. When an applicant for dead-head privileges enters the office, instead of receiving the desired pass, he is gravely handed a card on which are printed the follow ing Biblical quotations: “Thou shalt not pass.”—Numbers 20:18. “Suffer not a man to pass.”—Judges 3:28. “The wicked shall no more pass.”—Nahum 1:15. “None shall ever pass.”—Isaiah 34:10. “This generation shall not pass.”—Mark 13: 30 “Thoughy they roar, yet can they not pass.”— Jeremiah, 5:22. “So he paid the fare and went.”—Jonah 1:3. There was a well attended meeting of rail way presidents held in Chicago, Tuesday, to consider what was to be done in reference to freight rates in Nebraska in connection with the maximum freight bill which soon goes in effect. The president of nearly every road in that state was present and the whole matter was gone over carefully. All thought of re sisting the application of these rates was abandoned and the result of the meeting was the instruction to the freight agents to go ahead and prepare a new freight schedule based on the requirements of the Nebraska law. The preparation of that schedule em braces a good many difficulties, and the freight agents who took up the problem that afternoon in the general meeting have before them a complicated task. The law provides for a definite mileage rate, and one of the troublesome complications that follows the putting of such law into execution is the diffi culty of equalizing the rates on the roads run ning to the same point, but reaching it over varying mileage. The question arises as to whether or not the longer line will put in the rate based on the mileage schedule provided by law, and thus have a higher rate than the shorter line, or whether it will ignore that schedule and meet the rate of its more direct competitor. That question was taken up by the presidents and was decided in various ways to fit the various cases. To some points the lines will put in rat£s even lower than the law provides so as to meet the competition of the shorter lines, while in others competitive business will be sacrificed and no rates lower than those made absolutely necessary by the law will be put in force.
