The boys at the<depot made the Count a present of a handsome silver cup in recogni tion of his clever social qualities and as a small expression of their regard for him and of his services as a railroad agent of many years’ experience. Here’s long life and pros perity to the Count. 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; good forabout 10 days for return. No sleeping car privileges. 9-3ts.

The Western Passenger Association has authorized three harvest excursions from Chi cago and St. Louis to the Missouri river and western points. Trains will be run August 22, September 12 and October 10 at one fare for the round trip plus $2, tickets good return ing twenty days from date of sale.' Connect ing lines are authorized to use these rates on these days. ^ A statement of the earnings and expenses of the Burlington system for the month of June, which was issued Saturday, shows a heavy decrease in freight earnings and a cor responding increase in passenger earnings. Freight earnings decreased $239,934. Passen ger earnings increased $234,645. The gross earnings for the month were $2,292,658, a de crease of $33,616 as compared with the same month last year. Western roads decided Tuesday to make no special rates for the Grand Army encamp ment at Indianapolis in September. The Chicago & Alton and the Burlington are the roads credited with preventing a satisfactory agreement being made. They contended that any special rates made for the Grand Army would be used to demoralize the rates to the World’s fair. All that is left for the Grand Army men to do is to use the World’s fair rates to Chicago and repurchase from there to Indianapolis. Roads east from Chi cago have agreed to make a rate of one cent per mile for the Grand Army men. “Now that the maximum rate bill is hung up, will you restore the trains that you took off the branch lines in Nebraska and replaced with mixed trains?” was asked several rail way managers, Monday, in Omaha by a World-Herald man. One of them replied that times were too hard and that these trains would not likely be restored before October. He insisted that there was no retaliation about it. Neither the Union Pacific, Burling ton, Elkhorn, nor any road that had econo mized by taking a passenger train off any branch hue would say that it would put them back again this summer. They all pleaded “hard times." Bert Goodwin, recently transferred here from Denver, is firing again. Observe th at the new time card makes No. 4 about one hour later leaving here. Engineer Putman is worrying through ten days with commendable patience. Smaller pay checks will be the rule for the month of August in all departments. The air car has been doing some good work among the train and engine men. Train Master Kenyon’s office has been divi ded into two apartments, this week, by a railing. TheKansas City chair car on 6, Monday, had to be set out at this station on account of a hot box. J. A. Jackson is relieving W. VV. Green at Republican for thirty days while Green is taking in the fair. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harris and Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Burnet arrived home, last Friday evening from their Colorado visit. Jack McAdams, a former western division man, is here on a visit to the family and old time friends and acquaintances. The railroad boys are now furnished coupon books at headquarters by signing the required order to deduct the amount from their wages. The company is out about $400 as a result of those pigs getting on too social terms,last week. And secondly, the genial Count is out of a job. Mrs. Samuel Pope and Miss Susie Billings departed on 6, last evening, for their home in Wymore, after a ten days’ visit with McCook friends. Bob Simmons of the dispatcher’s force has been giving the pound-master some business, this week. Bob’s lawn and garden must be respected. Sid Wheeler has been here for some lime with his air car examining the boys to find out how much they know about the delusive and elusive air. The company is putting in iron briges at Hudson and over Sand creek near Akron,with substantial stone abutments,which policy will prevail all over the division in due time.

The well on Master Mechanic Archibald’s ranch, southeast of the city, is pretty deep. Neighbor is prepared to make affidavit that on any average clear day you can see the China men’s feet paddling around in the bottom of it. The Burlington road has presented the men who were on the train which robers attempted to hold up near Council Bluffs on June 16 with fine gold watches. The train men foiled the robbers by their bravery and the railroad com pany takes this means of rewarding their faithfulness. There is a rumor that either 3 or 5 will soon be discontinued at McCook, which of course will start No. 4 from here. This will necessi tate many changes in the present time card. Nothing official has yet been received at head quarters, however, but considerable anxiety exists among the trainmen here. The new tariff sheets sent out prior to the first of August to conform to the maximum rate bill have been called in to headquarters, owing to the injunction granted by the su preme court restraining the roads from put ting the rate bill into effect. The constitu tionality of the bill will be tested in the court. DEATH OF SOPHRONIA D. KELLEY. Sophronia Durkee Kelley died Thursday morning at 4:15 o’clock at her late residence on Parker Place, aged 71 years, 4 months and 21 days. The cause of death was a glandular affection with which the deceased had been afflicted only about five weeks. This combined with the decline of vitality incident to advanc ed years proved too much of a draft on the physical resources of nature with results as indicated above. Mrs. Kelley was bom in this city, and was a daughter of the late Dr. John and Sarah Perly Durkee. The deceased had been twice married. In the first instance she wedded Frank B. Sanborn of Meredith Bridge, the fruit of the union being several children. Two sons survive, Frank D. San born of this city and John Ed. Sanborn of Mc Cook, Nebraska. In a second marriage she wedded Addison Kelley of Rumney, who left her a widow 22 years ago. Mrs. Kelley was a lady of remarkable activity and persistent in dustry, and was possessed of a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The funeral took place at the late residence of the deceased ■Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock Rev. C. A. G. Thurston being the officiating clergyman. Singing was furnished by the North church quartette, Miss Hattie Rolfe, Miss Minnie O. Woodhouse, E. H. Proctor and A. W. Putnam. Beautiful flowers were contributed as follows: by the sons, Frank D. and John Ed. Sanborn, pillow whith the word “Mother” in purple im mortelles; by the 3 grandchildren, cross and anchor with the word “grandma” in purple immortelles; by Dr. and Mrs. H. A.
