The company is filling its ice houses at this place, in Denver and Akron,from the mill-pond at Cambridge. The late cold snap has formed ice of splendid quality and convenient thickness. The railroad men of the branch line are authority for a report that the B. & M. is surveying the route from Pneblo to St. Francis, and that work on the road bed will be commenced very soon. A rumor of this sort is sprung annually. It is possible it is true this time. We still live in hopes.—Beaver City Tribune. The Pennsylvania railroad people some years ago began putting the sand boxes for locomotives under the running boards, the idea being that there would be less obstruction to the view of the engineer on curves than there was with the sand-box on the boiler. The thing has not worked well, however,and it is likely that in future sand-boxes will be put on the boiler. The difficulties that bring about the change are damp ness and the sand forming into a solid core in the bottom of the tapered boxes. A cunous thing has been discovered in connection with the sand getting wet in sand-boxes. It was found that the sand in wrought-iron boxes was nearly always damp, while that in cast-iron boxes was seldom in that underirable condition. Wrought-iron and pressed steel sand boxes were coming rapidly into use, but there was so much trouble with damn sand in them that they are being aband oned and the rejected cast-iron substitut ed.—Locomotive Engineer.

Tom Wilkinson had the misfortune, Wednesday, to fall from a box car at Holdrege, and very severely sprained both wrists. Tom is an unfortunate chap, to be sure. The B. & M.’s policy of retrenchment is responsible for the transfer of F. A. Stark, one of the switchmen here. He will be given a run as brakeman ont of McCook, but owing to the probable short life of the job, will leave his family here. We hope to see him back soon. Dr. E. H. Waters, formerly of this place, has taken charge of the school or chestra at McCook, and it already shows the benefit of his teaching. Many folks here will attest to the doctor’s fine mus ical abilities. . .Dr. J. A. Gunn and son of McCook were in Stockville for a cou ple of hours, last Friday.—Republican. The Great Northern railroad company will give the public an opportunity dur ing the coming summer to demonstrate whether a first class steamboat is a real or imaginary want. The steamboat Northwest, which was launched at Cleve land the other day, will be the largest and finest boat on the lakes. It is, in fact, more like an Atlantic liner than a lake boat, and combines the best points of both styles of craft. Regular trips will be made between Duluth and Buffa lo, at a speed of twenty miles an hour. A second boat called the Northland will be ready for service in July, and if the two secure enough business to warranl the investment other ships will be con structed until a daily line is in operation. The time will be a little longer than competing railroad routes, but Managei Hill believes the attractions of a lake voyage will more than counteract the disadvantage of a few extra hours on the journey.—Journal. A man, or woman either,can set a hen, although they cannot sit her; the hen might sit on them by the hour if they would allow it. A man cannot set on a wash bench, but he can set the basin on it, and neither the basin nor the gramma rians would object. . He could sit on the dog’s tail, if it was all right witht he dog, or he might set his foot on it. But if he should set on the aforesaid tail, or sit his toof there, the grammarians as well as the dog would howl. And yet the man might set the tail aside and sit down,and be assailed neither by the dog nor the grammarians. And so on. NUMBER 769 Draws The Silk COMFORT.
