Francis, General Passen ger & Ticket Agent, Omaha, Neb. MIDWINTER FAIR RATES ARE DOWN. The Burlington Route is now selling round trip tickets to Sau Francisco at $35.50. One way $20. Think of it! Four thousand miles for less than forty dollars. See the company’s local agent and get full information, or write to J. Francis, General Passenger agent, Omaha, Neb. Miss Clara Bonnot went down to Holdrege, Saturday morning. Mrs. Tom Wilkinson is visiting Mrs. C. H. Harman at Holyoke. Roadmasters Josselyn and McFarland were at headquarters, Sunday. Railroad business is looking up a little, in the freight department particularly. Tom Mundy has recovered his handsome Templar ring he lost Sunday a week ago. Will Brown found it Mrs. Dell Trout, of McCook, was here this week visiting with her brother Melvin and family.—Red Cloud Belt. Emigrant movables have commenced to come in. They have two or three carloads over the division every day now. Six years ago, at 4 o’olock in the morning oi February 27th, the great Burlington strike commenced. And its effects are felt yet. Sam Rogers steps higher than Haley’s blooded calf, since filling his ice house with the crystal article, shipped from the pond made in mountains, where Sam pulled out a nugget last fall. “Them alligators” conductor McKenna now crushes tramps with, were made from the tail of that unfortunate animal which was brought from San Salvador, and exhibited in the pond rear of the Nebraska building, at the Chicago exposition. The B. & M. bridge gang were here at work at the culvert near Mr. Reiser’s last week While away at work their car in which they slept caught fire and narrowly escaped des struction. Mr. Palmer saw the fire and gave the alarm. The heavy snow drifts along the track luckily supplied the material for putting out the fire.—Stamford News. The depot at this place was broken into by burglars last Friday night Some tickets and money was stolen and two mail sacks, which were left in the depot for safe keeping, were cut open, and contents rifled. George Wirts elevator was broken into the same night, but the thieves secured nothing of any value. At present there is no clew—Holbrook Herald. The machinery of the federal courts has re volved again, and the programme is all ar ranged for a conference between the Union Pacific receivers and representatives of em ployes, whose wages it is proposed to reduce. The circuit court has made President Clark the arbiter of the contention. The contem plated reduction has been postponed, but there is nothing in evidence to indicate that it can be averted. March I will bring about several changes in the passenger department of the Burling ton. By reason of the resignation of L. Blake slee, traveling passenger agent of the Burl ington, with headquarters at Denver, who will take a position with the Florence & Cripple Creek railway, Mr. F. C. Mathews, traveling passenger agent in Omaha, and acting cash ier of the passenger department, will be trans ferred to Denver with larger powers. Mr. Mathews will be succeeded by W. G. David son, a brother of the chief clerk of the pass enger department, as cashier. Another new time card is likely to go into effect on the Burlington within the next ten days. It is not believed that any material changes will be made in the present arran gement other than train 15 from Kansas City and St Joe will stop here for supper. About May 1st however, some important changes in the train service are likely to take place; just what they will be is not known. But a daily passenger train to Hastings and Oberlin will probably be resumed. The loud and continu ous remonstance against the present arrange ment, has probably reached headquarters. —Red Cloud Argus. Engineer James Harris’ wife is on the sick list. Ed. Patterson, an old time switchman, brother o f Jim, is in the city again. Blacksmith Boeka’s dwelling, opposite the CongTegatioual church, is nearing completion. Mrs. F. M. Washburn is visiting at her home in Broomfield, going down on No. 2 Saturday morning. Engineer Putnam was made as happy as a clam, this week, by the receipt of a very con siderable windfall from the east. While train 194 with cond uctor Hammond was running four miles east of Mintum Wed nesday, the rails spread causing the rear end of the coach to jump the tiack. All the dam age caused was by the wheels cutting spikes for the length of six telegraph poles. Mail clerk H. A. Alden jumped off and was dan gerously hurt,-having two ribs broken, anile dislocated, bruises and cuts on his head, and is suffering from concussion of the brain. He was taken to Newcastle for treatment and is recovering.—Alliance Grip. G. L. Mahard, who use to live here, and is now a resident of Kaukauna, Wisconsin, lost his wife by death on Wednesday. In the last three months he has lost his wife, a child and a sister. He seems to be having his share of these earthly trials_Ed. Highland the affa ble and courteous Assistant Division Supt. of the western branch of the B. & M.,is the guest of opr esteemed mayor, Chas. Wiener, this week. Ed. has many friends in Red Cloud who are always pleased to see his pleasant countenance on our streets.—Red Cloud Chief. President Perkins of the Burlinglion made a significant statement to a citizen of Lincoln when he passed through the city, Tuesday. He said that on the Burlington system alone the idle railroad men numbered not less than 10,000, and that business conditions were such that no one could tell when it would be possi ble to give them employment. The Burling ton has not less than 2,000 cars that ought to go to the repair tracks. The care of this roll ing stock would give employment to a large force, but the available funds of the company are needed more urgently for something else and the cars will stand until the revival of business makes it necessary to get them ready for service again. President Perkins is always as optimistic as the condidions warrant, but he did not seem to be looking through a very cheerful pair of glasses when here.—Lincoln Journal. District Court Filings. H.
