A number of the Q engineers who left
Galesburg to take positions on the Le
high valley have returned to their runs.
They expected to get passenger runs, or
at least to improve their condition, but
found they were expected to sign a con
tract that did not specify the nature of
the service. This seemed too risky, and
so they turned back.
Another change in the running of the
passenger trains go into effect, Sunday.
Train going west will arrive here about
to a. m., going east about same time as
before, 3 p. m. This change is made back
to former running for the benefit of the
local traffic along the line, giving them
the day to travel in. By this change pas
sengers for Lincoln, Omaha and the east
will be compelled to lay over in Holdrege
until next morning, also coming west the
same lay-over is made for the Cheyenne
line.—Curtis Enterprise.
The grim destroyer entered the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Max Anton on Monday
evening and robbed them of one of their
infant twin daughters. The remains of

Coffman conducted services at the house.
The parents are deeply sympathized with
in their sorrow. Later—Wednesday
night the remaining twin followed her
little sister to the spirit laud, and thus a
double burden of sorrow is lain upon the
broken hearted parents. Rev. Coffman
conducted services at 3 o’clock,Thursday
afternoon, at the residence, and the little
remains were reunited in Longview.
Notwithstanding the close times sev
eral railway extension projects which
have been under contemplation are being
revived, owing to the cheapness of steel
rails and other railway construction ma
terial. In the past few days the price of
steel rails has dropped $8 per ton, and
quite a war is now on between the man
ufacturers. It is intimated that owing
to the unsettled condition of its Union
Pacific connections the Northwestern
company is considering an extension of
its system to Denver from Hastings,Neb.
That corporation has plenty of money to
build the extension and equip it, and
there is a probability that some steps
may be advanced if matters are not sat
isfactorily arranged with the Union Pac
ific.—Denver Times.
