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."

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.
