Power Hawksworth were at western division

was let out, Wednesday, by the B. & M. Mr.

business and is well thought of by everyone
who had business dealings with him. The
change gives operator Ready the day job,
Bill Nye night operator and “Josh” the job
of checking cars.—Akron Republican.
The gloom about Alex. McDonald’s home
"'as intensely deepened, Monday morning,
by the death of their third and only child,
Jack, a promising lad of about eight summers.
The remains were laid away in Longview
cemetery, Monday afternoon.' Alex, and his
faithful wife have the fullest sympathy of the
entire community in the terrible loss of their
three interesting and beloved children, within
a few brief weeks, a bereavement beyond the
reach and efficacy of human sympathy to
console.
The B. & M. is going into the reduction
business on its own hook, and on August 13th,
next Sunday, these trains will be laid off:
Nos. 5 and 6 between McCook and Denver;
11 and 12 between Kenesaw and Kearney;
141 and 142 between Hastings and Oberlin;
13 and 14 between Oxford and St. Joseph;
91 and 92 between Pacific Junction and Lin
coln; and 71 and 72 between Atchison and
Kansas City. The service between St. Joseph
and Oxford is reduced from double daily to
single daily. The trains between Pacific
Junction and Lincoln taken off are those leav
ing the Junction at 7 A. M. and leaving Lin
coln at 8 A. M. There will be likely to follow
this cut a large reduction in the forces of
shops and round houses, but there will be no
reduction in the wages of those who stay.
