Working hours in the shop have been changed to from 8 to 5. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Pomerincke, Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Langdon are the parents of a daughter, born Sunday. Mrs. J. E. Robinson arrived home from her visit to Lincoln, first of the week. Miss Anna Haley is visiting friends in McCook, this week.—Holbrook News. Mrs. C. W. Keim arrived home, fore part of the week, from visiting Lincoln relatives. Auditors Brandt and Foreman have been in the city, this week, on business of the auditor’s office. Mrs. V. H. Solliday arrived home, last night, accompanied by her two sisters, Misses Lizzie and Nellie Slaby. Conductor and Mrs. E. Q. Robie came home, Sunday night, from their sorrow ful journey back to New Hampshire. Dispatcher C. J. Townsend now occu pies one the Wells cottages 011 corner of Madison and Dudley. His sister is keep ing house for him. California and coast rates are liable to take a great tumble for the winter travel. The Canadian Pacific has already cut present rates half off. Twin daughters were bom to Mr. and Mrs. Prank Harris, Sunday night. All parties to the interesting event are doing nicely—even the somewhat surprised pater familias. The family of Lew Barger moved the first of the week to McCook. Mr. B. has a postal run on the Imperial branch, but makes his headquarters in the afore mentioned city.—Oxford Standard. Two of Walter Godfrey’s little chil dren came very near climbing the golden stairs, a few days since, by drinking half the contents of a bottle of Railroad cough medicine, which doubtless con tains opium. The east bound B. & M. passenger train from Denver to Kansas City struck an old man who was driving a team across the track, just west of Bloomington,Neb., last Tuesday. The man received injuries from which it was thought he would die before medical assistance could be ob tained.—Oberlin Opinion. Regular railway mail service has been authorized on the B. & M. line, between Edgemont, S. D., and Sheridan,Wyo., to begin November 15th. F. M. Moore and H. H. Alden have been transferred from the Pacific Junction and McCook route to the new route, and they will be suc ceeded by F. L. Keller and W. J. Gilles pie on the Pacific Junction line. On application of the federal govern ment the United States district court at Omaha, Monday morning, appointed J. W. Doane of Chicago and F. R. Condert of New York additional receivers of the Union Pacific railroad, without opposi tion. The petition sets forth that the claims of the government against the road entitle it to a larger representation among the receivers. A rather fascinating railway project has been broached in connection with the immense power goining to waste in the Niagara river. It is proposed to run electric cars from New York to Chicago at the rate of ioo miles an hour, power to be generated in the most picturesque way imaginable. At Buffalo the road is to cross the Niagara river on a great bridge, and the electric current is to orig inate at monster steel water wheels under the bridge, moved by the current of the river. It is figured that the bridge will furnish power enough for the whole line, and leave a neat surplus to sell. It is safe to say that at no time since the construction of the Kenesaw cut-off, some eight or nine years ago, has the railway service at this place been so mis erable and unsatisfactory as at present. With four trains discontinued, the past several months, there are now but two passenger trains each way daily on the main line and but one between Oxford and Kansas City. In the face of this re duction it is intimated that even further retrenchment will be made. In view of the fact that both passenger and fre.^ht traffic hold up well, it is difficult to com prehend the whyness of the policy pur sued by the usually enterprising Burling ton Route. There is evidently some mys terious reason,best known to the officials themselves, but it does not appear fo be clear to the average Nebraskan at this writing.—Oxford Standard. Another new freight crew, this week. James Kendlen is up from Arapahoe, guest of his brother Frank. Rheumatism has Engineer Westland in its painful grasp, this week. M. C. Pope is visiting a sister up in Broken Bow and a brother in Wymore. Conductor C. E. Pope arrived home, Wednesday morning, from his California trip. Joe Conklin and Jennie Cain were mar' ried by County Judge Beck at Indianola, Tuesday. Supt. Campbell has been in Denver, part of this week, on western division business. Rumor has it that one of our young firemen will shortly take unto himself another rib. Mesdames Elmer Rowell, C. C. M. Rowell and Miss Grace, visited Hastings relatives, Saturday last. John Dwyer of Beatrice, a brother of our only Steve, and a Burlington claim agent, has been visiting in the city, this week. Engineer Conner was able to resume his engine, this week, after a long fight with that terror to all humanity.—rheu matism. The Junior league of the Methodist church met at the residence of J. R. Sir coloumb, last evening, and the young folks had a very happy time. Hard times have not prevented the directors of the Burlington road from declaring the regular quartarly dividend of one and one-fourth per cent. Ed Hall, son of B. P. Hall of this place, who has been at work for the B. & M. at Republican City, has been promoted to night operator at Benkelman.—Trenton Register. Mr. S. J. Talcott of Orleans, arrived at Edison, Monday night. Mr. T. is our gentlemanly railroad agent now. His family will follow in a few days. All ex tend a hearty welcome.—Edison Mirror. The State board of transportation re ceived application from the various rail roads operating in this state asking to be exempted from the penalties prescribed by the transfer switch law nearly two months ago. The good people of Edison are indig nant over the removal of their popular railroad agent, J. W. Watkins, who has given such general satisfaction to the public. There has been some under handed work done against Mr. Watkins, and his friends, who are legion, are de termined that the guilty ones shall be exposed and their motives made plain to all.—Arapahoe Mirror. Some of the mountain railroads in Switzerland find it advantageous to open long before the snow melts on their up per parts, and to do this an enormous amount of snow has to be shoveled away. Last May, when the road from Glion, on Lake Geneva, up to Rocher de Nave was opened, the cars ran for some distance between walls of solid compressed snow twelve to twenty feet high. When the work began one of the upper stations had disappeared, and it was supposed that it had been swept away by the winter storms. A rounded elevation was recognized as the site of the water tank, and from this the position of the station was determined and excavations were begun. After digging down six feet the shovelers struck, not the foundation but the roof of the station, which was in its place intact. Republican City. Operator Talcott of Orleans takes Edi son office. Operator Hill succeeds him at Orleans. Four stock trains on the “Sunflower” line since Wednesday, the 8th. “How high is dot?” If the “Sunflower" had a few more main line crews the regular ones would not have to make a trip. Extra Agent Barden goes to Cedar Bluffs while Agent Davis goes east with his little boy to have his boy’s leg oper ated upon. Operator Hall of this station, frho has been acting as agent’s helper, goes to Benkelman as night operator. Harding from Trenton succeeds him here. D. B. Hollinger and Prof. Heard spent Friday evening at W. W. Green’s. Music was a feature in which every body took a part. Prof. Heard rendered some of his unapproachable selections on the guitar,—a treat not to be missed by any means. Agent Reed at Herndon asked for and received a change from that station on account of the existence in the town of two factions who are always at war and who try to rope every body else into the fight. Operator Carl takes his place. We extend our sympathy to him. .. . _ III - - J WE DO AS WE The Cheapest Goods do not always Save you the most Money. It has always been and still it our aim to sell the best qualities at the Lowest Possible Prices. Lor instance: Men’s All-Wool Undershirts at 45c each; Men’s Mixed Natural Wool Undershirts, Heavy Weight, at 40c each, others ask 60c; Ladies’ and Misses Trimmed Hats from 67c up; Ladies’ and Misses' Cloaks and Jackets at Lower Prices than have Ever before been offered. L. 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. For instance if yon are looking for a Round Qaft Heating Stove, don't let some un scrupulous dealer sell you some other Stove for the Rouud Qalt or sell you some cheap imitation ; which is* just as good'" for Or Two I Less.
