Francis, Gen eral Passenger and Ticket Agent, Omaha. C. E. Magner, Agent. Richard Carroll’s baby is very seriously sick. Tim Haley was up from Holbrook, this week, renewing old acquaintances. Mrs. E. Hanson is absent from the city, vis iting relatives and friends in Lincoln and Omaha. They have a fine boy baby at Harry Con over’s. The lad made his appearance on Wednesday morning. Assistant Supt. Harman came down from the Cheyenne line.Tuesday night, on business at western division headquarters. Felix Kennedy, who is now in the compa ny’s employ at Wymore, was in the city, close of last week, on some business matters. Sunday morning an insane man named Hopkins stepped from the train about two miles east of Oxford and was killed. He was returning to the Hastings asylum from visit ing in Denver. D. Ainsworth, who was one of the leading engineers who ran the B. & M. survey from Plattsmouth to Kearney, is writing a book about his experience in the work. It will treat of some local interests here.—Hastings Tribune. E. P. Grant, the night agent for the B. & M. narrowly escaped having his leg cut off. He slipped and was rescued just in time to save his right prop from being run over by the bag gage car-George Pronger, a B. & M. engi neer, was here buying some land north of town Monday.—Holbrook Herald. Kittie, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Stark, has been very ill of a malady in the nature of pneumonia. In response to a summons, Mr. Stark came home last week and assisted in nursing her through the critical period of her sickness, returning to McCook Monday evening.—Oxford Standard. Mrs. McAlpine, mother of James of our city and Jack of Denver, passed to her reward on Saturday last at her home in Indianola. The remains were taken to Firth, Nebraska, for burial, both the boys accompanying them. Interment was made on Monday. The sym pathy of many friends here and at Indianola are with the family in their sorrow and be reavement. Mrs. Marvin did not arrive from Deadwood, S. D., until a few hours after her mother’s death. The Southern Pacific Saturday,issued notice that on and after March I, it will refuse to honor any tickets reading over the Atchison via Los Angeles. This is practically the same notice the Southern Pacific served on the Atchison as effective Feb. 23. Saturday’s notice will, however, cut much more of a fig ure, as it was believed until Friday that i t would cancel the boycott notice. It is the most sensational development of the trans continental war. M rs. B. S. Marvin, wife of Dispatcher Mar vin of Deadwood, went to Indianola on ac count of the illness of her mother... .About 7 o’clock Wednesday night, a fire was dis covered in the up stairs part of Supt. Phel an’s house. There were only the children, Mrs. Phelan and Trainmaster Birdsell in the house at the time, and by prompt and decisive action they succeeded in quenching the fire after a loss of about $50. A few minutes later in discovering the fire would have resulted in burning down the house.—Alliance Grip. Jack McAdams is in the city on a visit. Mrs. Orr Early and mother came in from Bonaparte, Iowa, last night. Their farm is near Perry station. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Bullard were down from Palisade to grace the auspicious occasion with their presence, last night. I Splenic Fever Quarantine. Governor Crounse has prepared a procla mation relative to shipment of diseased cattle into Nebraska from the south. The procla mation is based on instructions received from J. Sterling Morton, and in accordance there with a quarantine will be established, dating from February 15 to December I, 1894, and no cattle are to be transported from the quaran tined area to any portion of this United States north or west, except by rail for immediate slaughter, and when so transported the usual rules must be observed. The line marking the border of the area containing the contagious and infectious dis ease,known as splenic or southern fever among cattle has been extended to the southward so as to take a wide strip from Arkansas and the southern part of Tennessee. On the western boundary of Texas the line is moved to the east. All these changes show that the area containing the disease is much less than last year.

We advise our friends who intend doing anything in the garden this year to consult Vick before starting operations. Send ten cents to James Vick’s Sons, Rochester, N. Y., for Vick’s guide, it costs nothing, as you can deduct the ten cents from the first order. It certainly will pay you. District Court Filings.

Joel Woods vs. Samuel Young et al., S154; February 20th. Lenten sewing-classes were begun earlier than usual, this season, and many of them have already been productive of an immense am ount of good. These are by no means purely social organizations, although most of those held in the morning end with a dainty lunch eon, and some have an afternoon meeting every other week which concludes with an in formal tea to which gentlemen are admitted, for which privilege they are permitted to con tribute fifty cents each to the general fund. One class employes the services of a well-in formed woman who meets them once a week to review recent events and comment on the topics of the times, give them a summary of" the latest new book, in fact, post them on all subjects with which, to talk cleverly, they should be conversant, but which, with their other engagements, they do not find time to study up. Many of the members hire seam stresses out of employment to make up the garments which are planned and cut at the meetings, thus doing a double charity.—From “Chat,” in Demorest's Magazine for March. Thomas N. Saunders and Eliza I. Upde graft have secured license to wed. P. McDonald has purchased property in the city and expects to engage in the resta urant business here. The chicken fanciers met at Indianola, last Saturday, and organized under the style of “The Republican Valley Poultry Association.” The committee On by-laws will report to the association tomorrow. The Indianola Courier roasts Jim Harris because Jim wears one red sock and one blue sock. Tut, tut, Colonel Mitchell. That's Jim s grand, patriotic way. Great revivals of religion are reported all over the country. A religious expansion near ly always accompanies a financial stringency. This was noticed as long ago as the “crash” °f ’57- When men are left without much “show” in the world, they seem more ready to consider the advantages of another.
