Bert Goodwin is down from Denver, and is uncertain as to future movements. Two or three more enginemen have been set back on account of slack business. Another gang of overland tourists passed through here from the west, last Friday. Roadmaster Josselyn of the Orleans branch was among the visitors at headquarters, Satur day afternoon. J. D. McAlpine, Assistant Supt. Highland’s efficient chief clerk, is down from Denver, as sisting on July pay rolls. The railroads of Nebraska have decided to make a fight on the enforcement of the New bury maximum rate bill. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jordan made a flying visit to Hastings, Wednesday night, returning home on No I, yesterday noon. The number of tramps that have recently passed over the western division from Colora do is unprecedented in the history of the road. Miss Slabby, who has been visiting her sister Mrs V. H. Solliday, for a few weeks, returned to her home in Red Cloud, Wednesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Perry left Wednesday, for Chicago, where they will remain a couple of weeks seeing the sights of the exposition. The Burlington road has ruled that no em ploye riding on a pass will be allowed to ride on any of the fast trains during the World’s fair. Chief Dispatcher Forbes went in to Lincoln on 6, Sunday night, on business at headquar ters connected with the new time card which goes into effect on Sunday. Engine 326, B. H. Douglass manipulator, broke an eccentric strap, last Friday afternoon just as he was bringing No. 6 into the McCook yard. Johnson pulled the train in. Alex. McDonald’s only remaining child, a little boy, is quite seriously ill with diphtheria, a disease which has already carried off two ,daughters within the past two weeks. Last Friday was “bad Friday” of a verity on the western division. That new steel seems to be causing considerable trouble, indeed, these excessively hot days. The record is one bad and two slight accidents. Since Tuesday evening No. 4 does not have a Pullman car in her train. Now 5 now drops her sleeper at Lincoln instead of bringing it on to this place. Thus the policy of retrench ment continues to operate. A special rate of $16.35 for a one way ticket to Chicapo for the world’s fair has been made by the Burlington, good on July 17, 24, 31, and August 7. These tickets are not good for sleeping cars. The round trip rate for same dates is one fare for the round trip, $21.10; goodforabout 10 days for return. No sleeping car privileges. 9-3ts. Another of Alex. McDonald’s children—a daughter five years of age—died early Satur day .morning of diphtheria. The remains were laid away in Longview cemetery the same afternoon. This makes the second death in the family from the same disease. Only a little boy remains. The bereaved and sorrow stricken parents have the profoundest sym pathy of all. The idea held out by the populists that rail road men have no souls is effectually squelch ed by the action of Superintendent Campbell of McCook and Bignell of Lincoln in passing, the miners of Colorado who were thrown out of employment by the mine owners for bun combe in silver legislation, over the B. & M. from Denver on their way to friends in the east.—Culbertson Republican. It is a touching spectacle to see so many evidently honest and industrious laboring man forced into idleness as is the case in Colorado, and the people generally, regardless of party affiliations sincerely.hope that the worst is over and that the men who are by reason of existing conditions forced to accept alms from the public will be enabled to secure the employ ment necessary to the maintenance of them selves and their families. The failure of the western passenger asso ciation to make a rate to the world’s fair leaves the way open for any road belonging to that combination to establish a reduced rate of its own and force the remainder of the roads to meet. At the Chicago meeting the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe objected to the $2 addi tion to the one fare rate, and it is understood that it proposes to fix a rate to suit itself after August 1. traveling Engineer Dixon has been on the sick list, this week. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schlect are the doting parents of a fine, boy, bom Sunday. Conductor Solliday had a stock extra east bound, Tuesday evening. But extras are scarce. A. G. Coplen enjoyed a short visit from his mother, first of the week, during his wife’s illness. Conductor Burns’ family moved into the Eowler dwelling on north McFarland street, this week. Dennis Cullen is off a few days with an in jured hand, the result of a casting falling from the lathe onto it. Brakeman T. J. YVelliver was called over to Goodland, Kansas, first of the week, by the illness of his little girl. Mrs. V. H. Solliday is entertaining Mrs. Samuel Pope and Miss Susie Billings of YVy more, who arrived in the city, Tuesday noon. John and Ira Hicks are away, visiting the world s fair. They will spend some time far ther east, and will be absent about a month in all. The railroads have made a rate of $6 from Denver to Omaha and river points to help east those seeking and out of labor in the moun tains. Summer excursions to the Black Hills, one fare for the round trip to Deadwood and Hot Springs, on sale July 15 to August 16. Limit for return 30 days. g-4ts. The Burlington recently received 75,000 fans for distribution on the system. The whole Q system uses 200,000 fans a year and pays $36 a thousand for them in Japan. We understand that a new rate has been made to Chicago, good for 30 days, namely one half fair for round trip plus $2.00. This does not afford Pullmen accommodations either. Charlie Chambers, who was quite seriously injured by Clarence Lackey at Culbertson, last Thursday, and whose condition was for a while regarded as precarious, is now well on the way to recovery. Sunday morning, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Carty were called upon to mourn the death of their little babe about 18 months’ old. Father Hickey conducted the funeral services from St. Patrick’s, Monday afternoon. Mrs. Cal. Kenady of McCook came down Tuesday morning on a visit to friends and relatives.Engineer Billy Burnett of Me' Cook, a former old time Red Cloud boy, ac companied by his wife and child arrived in the city Monday on a visit to E. B. Smith and family.—Belt. The New York Central railroad in connec tion with the Wagner Palace Car company, the Michigan Central and the Lake Shore send two trains weekly to Chicago for the benefit of its clerical force and the members of their family, giving them free transporta tion in the elegant palace cars and procuring tor them half rates for meals along the route. This action will no doubt be followed by other railroads and is a proof that the railroads are not the soulless corporations they are said to be. The marriage of Frank Quigley and Miss Grace Ripley took place Monday afternoon at the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Andy Cummings. The ceremony was per formed by Rev. Melvin Putnam of the Christ ian church, a few of the more intimate friends of the contracting parties only being present. The happy couple left on the evening train for the east. The Argus joins in the congratula tions already extended in wishing for genial Frank and his handsome bride all joy and prosperity.—Red Cloud Argus. Circulars have been received at local rail way offices from the Interstate Commerce commission giving notice that all railways must adopt a standard height for draw bars on freight cars and fixing that height at thirty four inches for standard and twenty-six inches for narrow guage roads with three inches of play between loaded and empty cars. The whole matter is in pursuance to an act passed at the last session of congress and approved March 2. Railways are requested to change their drawbars to the standard height as soon as possible and are given until July I, 1895, as the uttermost limit within which they can make the change.—Omaha Bee. The accident to freight train 148, three miles east of Arapahoe, last Friday morning, was a severe one, twelve cars being ditched and badly demoralized. Only the middle portion of the train left the track, so none of the crew were injured. Three tramps that were riding in a car loaded with street rails and couplers were badly hurt, but none fatally. They were almost completely buried under the couplers, and were severely bruised up. The accident happened at the point where the new steel rails and the old join, and was doubtless oc casioned by the spreading of the rail. The wrecking train was promptly on the scene, and by evening traffic was resumed as usual. Engineer Wolfe was pulling the train. An unusual method of making wheels for cars has recently been brought before railway men. Wherever it is desired to have reliable wheels steel tires are almost universally used, with paper, wrought or cast iron centers. Cast iron centers are the cheapest form of any as regards first cost, but it is rather difficult to form a good connection between the tire and the center. In the new method of manufact ure a stock of tires is made up complete. The mould is next opened and the tire, heated to a red heat, is placed in position. The mold is then closed and the molten metal for the center immediately poured in. The result is said to be a practically perfect union of the steel and cast iron, forming a solid wheel which has the advantage of a durable steel rim and a cheap iron body. We Never Lie!
