Magner takes Holliday’s engine and gets a
passenger run.
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

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.

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.
