Ravmer, Col., and Brandon, Neb., offices have been closed and the agents trans ferred to other stations.—State Journal. Mrs. A: Snyder arrived home, close of last week, from a protracted absence in the east. Her sister, Miss Strong, accom panied her, and will visit here some length of time. The Burlington is one of the few wes tern roads who have not cut wages in any of its departments, notwithstanding the argument used by the roads who did cut was just as applicable to the Burling ton as it was them. Bob Love, formerly brakeman on this division, but late of the Black Hills div ision, arrived in the city, last evening. He may go to work on the western div ision. He is still troubled with an injury to his left hand received in July last while coupling cars on the mountain division. The case of William M. McGinnis against the C. B. & Q. railroad company for $15,500 damages was filed in the supreme court Saturday by the railroad company.

He recovered a judgement for $3,400 and the company brings the case up on error. Programme. The following is the programme for the G. A.

Across the Sahara. If the United States could cross our continent with railroads, or if Russia can span Asia with a line of rails,why cannot France cross the Sahara desert with a railroad? Possibly it can. A beginning has been made in that mammoth under taking. But the difficulties are incalcul able. As soon as those that are now known shall be overcome, others will arise. Consider for an instant the enor mous obstacles to making a railroad 1,500 miles long through a territory with out wood for ties, without water .without everything required to sustain life. Railroads have been constructed through countries to which all the mate rial required have had to be carried. But there is a country that does not even supply water for the men who must do the work. The sand storms that have buried a thousand caravans are liable to arise and wipe out all traces of man and his work. Yet this stupendous work is now very seriously contemplated by the French government. When it is under taken the rails will be laid from oasis to oasis, which lie like islands in the great ocean of the desert. As it approaches the south the trunk line may be divided, one arm to run to Lake Tchad and the other to strike the Niger above Timbuc too, from which point steamers could descend to Senegambia. The work may cost hundreds or even thousands of mil lions of dollars.—New York Mail and Express. Readers of the Gazette will remember that a man named Soderberg was inj ured on the B. & M. railroad last May, by be ing run into by a freight train, while working along the track as a section hand. He has never recovered from the injuries received and is at the present time is in pretty bad shape. He has, through his attorney, Ed. L. Adams, commenced proceedings against the railroad company for $10,000 damages. The petition is filed, but the issues will not be joined in time to be heard at the next term of court.—Minden Gazette. There was not quite so much hilarity indulged in, Wednesday, by the Demo crats as there was just one year ago. The news from New York, Massachu setts, Ohio and Iowa was of a nature to depress the spirits of the bourbons and to correspondingly elevate that of the Republicans. Of course “I Told You So” is with us, but he did not seem to know anything more about it than the rest of humanity, until after the votes had been counted. Republicans of Nebraska performed their duty nobly Tuesday and have every reason to be pleased at the result of their united effort. The election is over—and the country is saved once more. Now for the war on turkey. Mr. Snow, husband of Mrs. Snow of the teacher corps, is in the city, guest of A. J. Clute._" James Hatfield is still with us. The announcement of his departure, last week, was an error. J. S. Kikendall came up from Bart ley, yesterday afternoon, and was brieflv the guest of his brother-in-law, H. H. Berry. C. H. Meeker arrived home, Wednes day night, from his extended visit east and at the fair. Mrs. Meeker will re main away awhile longer. George Hocknell made a business visit to Lincoln, Tuesday night, arriv ing home, Wednesday night, since when he has been confined to the bed with rheumatism.

I. Lowman & Son, DRY GOODS, CARPETS, MILLINERY. A DOLLAR or two is considerable these hard times, but there are times when you are wholly justified in the expenditure.
