The low rates to California now offered by the Burlington Route, constitute an unequaled opportunity of visiting that land of sunshine, fruit and flowers. On account of the Mid Winter Exposition—California’s World Fair —agents are now selling round trip tickts to San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego, etc., for $65.50. Tickets are good to return until April 301I1, 1894, and are very liberal as regards stop overs and transit lines. Wide choice of routes going and returning. This is the year of years to visit California, and the Burlington is the route of routes to get there. Ask your nearest ticket agent for full information, or write to J. Francis, Gen eral Passenger and Ticket Agent, Omaha. C. E. Magner, Agent. The pay checks arrived, Saturday. Last Friday night, Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Utter received an addition to their family. A lusty ten pound boy nut in an appearance at Conductor J. H. Burns’ home on Sunday morning early. L. E. Gilchrist’s little children were taken quite violently sick, Friday night, from eating cheese, but are now better. Charlie Arnold’s two months old baby was buried in Longview, last Saturday, from the home in West McCook. The telegraph service of the eastern portion of this division was pretty badly demoralized for a short while, by the snow storm of the close of last week. E. P. Bolton of the B. & M. eating house was in Omaha, this week, conferring with offi cials of the road to see if he could not induce them to stop trains here for meals.—RedCloud Belt. Lineman Brown has been busy, this week, fixing up the telegraph lines between here and Cambridge. A number of poles were broken by the weight of the snow, which also broke the wires in various places besides damaging the glasses and otherwise knocking the service out of kelter. He has been assisted by I. M. Douglas of this place and the division line man from Akron. James Durham, formerly of this city, was renewing old acquaintances in town, last Sat urday. Jim is now making his headquarters at McCook, where he is in the employ of the Burlington.The Burlington has made the rate just one-half the regular price on ship ments of com from any part of Nebraska to all stations from Benkelman to Akron inclus ive. This is done in order to help the farmer procure feed for his horses during the spring work. The cut rate is for the month of Feb ruary only.—Benkelman News. Every railroad of the west is beset by freight car thieves whose pilfering costs the roads many thousands of dollars. For years railroad managers have sought to stop such robberies, with indifferent success. Their attention has been directed to providing means of locating the road or division upon which a theft may have been committed. A road receiving a through car that has been tampered with must stand the loss in case it cannot be shown that the seal was broken prior to the receipt of the car. The perplexing problem is to get a seal that cannot be broken and replaced by the thieves in a manner that will defy detection. An Omaha inventor has, in the opinion of experts, produced a seal that will baffle the most ingenius thief. Its adoption will save the road using it many thousands of dollars annually. ine best engineman nas been a fireman; the best conductors are made of brakemen; the best officials are promoted from the ranks. John \I. Toucey, general manager of the New York Central, was once a trainman. Presi dent Newell of the Lake Shore, used to carry a chain in an engineering corps on the Illinois Central. President Clark of the Mobile & Ohio, was a section man; afterward a fireman. Another man who drove grade stakes is Pres ident Blockstand of the Alton. Allen Manvel, the late president of “the largest road on earth,” was a storehouse clerk. President Van Horn of the Canadian Pacific, kept time on the Illinois Central. A man named Towm. who used to tudst brake wheels on the Bur lington, is nowr Vice President Town of the Southern Pacific. President Smith of the Louisville & Nashville, was a telegraph oper ator. Marvin Hewitt of the Chicago & North western, began as a telegraph messenger boy. President Clark of the Union Pacific, used to check freight and push a truck on the Omaha platform. The Illinois Central, I believe, has turned out more great men than any other road. President Jeffrey of the Denver & Rio Grande, began in the Central shops at 45 cents a day.—McClure’s Magazine. Conductor W. G. Reddin was in Lincoln on Thursdry of this week. Mrs. Lewis Casten is visiting with old-time friends down at Indianola, this weak. L. B. Stapp’s child was taken down with convulsions, Tuesday, and has been very ill. No. 3 was about eight hours late into this station. Monday morning, caused by the heavy snow storm east of the river. Dispatcher Townsend was down at Oxford, Friday and Saturday, being sent there on busi ness furnished by the snow storm. They had to get the snow plows out, Satur day. for the Kansas branches, where the drifts as usual were the deepest and the most trou blesome. District Court Filings. Emilie Austin vs. Chas. A.

Menard’s house on his Egan park place was fired, yesterday, by a defective flue. But the fire was extinguisehd before much damage was occasioned. It is presumed that Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Phillips, of Coleman precinct, are protection ists, as they purpose protecting the little fem inine waif that recently applied to them for protection. On Tuesday evening, young people of Cole man precinct to the number of about twenty, met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Cole and had a grand good time. The occa sion of the gathering was the sixteenth birth day of Miss Alice Cole. Supt. Bayston and Prof. Parsons of the Bartley schools visited our public schools, yesterday. The Bartley schools are closed on account of an epidemic of measles which pre vails in that place. About 70 children are down with the disease, which is fortunately of a very mild form. Jake Williamson, a farmer in Lutz precinct, is building an immense reservoir for storing water for irrigation purposes. The reservoir will be supplied with water pumped from a well by a large Airmoter. In this way Mr. Williamson estimates he can irrigate at least twenty acres of crop. His plan will be to thor oughly saturate the ground in the fall and spring, thus putting it in such condition that crops will Ire able to flourish upon it through the dry part of the season. There are a number of Dundy county farmers figuring on adopting the same kind of irrigaton scheme.—Bee.
