Engineer Holliday is making some more
improvements on his cosy dwelling, this week.
There is quite an encouraging improvement
in railroad business, and it will continue and
grow for some time.
It is reported that important railway
changes looking to the restoration of the old
order of thmgs will take place about the first
of May. Here’s hoping for their consumma
tion.
There was a small fire at the depot, Monday,
possibly caused by a cigar stub throan into a
hole in the sidewalk. Prompt action saved
the building. The damage was slight, but it
was a close call.—Palisade Times.
E. A. Sprague moved his household goods
to Wilsonville this week from Republican
City, and has moved upon his place south of
town. Until their new dwelling is completed
they will live in the sod house now upon the
place.—Wilsonville Review.
Mr. and Mrs. A. McG. Robb came in from
Omaha, Tuesday night, and have been the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Stiles a few days.
Mr. Robb was formerly Supt. Campbell’s
private secretary here, but is now in the com
pany’s general offices at Omaha.
Ernest McConnell, an engineer on the Bur
lington before the 1886 strike, arrived in the
city, Friday evening, on a visit to relatives in
this section. He was the guest of his sister,
Mrs. Albert McMillen, during his short stay.
Ernest is now running out of Toronto, Cana
da, and is wearing diamonds, or words to that
effect.
Charles Deitrich, who was a Burlington
engineer in the ante-strike days, spent Satur
day in the city, visiting old-time friends. He
was on his way home to Texas from a busi
ness visit to Holyoke, Colorado, where he has
property. He is now running an engine down
in the Lone Star state, and is prospering. He
continued on his jumey, Saturday night
L. C. Wolff and S. L. Moench have pur
chased fifteen acres of land from John Whit
taker and will conduct a hog ranch on the
same. The parcel is located just south of the
west river bridge, and besides having a fine
water front, embraces a good patch of the
priceless alfalfa. The hogs will be moved
down from the Frenchman valley, as soon as
the fencing is completed.
Railroad employes, as well as all persons
interested in the observance of the Sabbeth,
will hail with joy the recent action of several
eastern roads relative to the cessation of labor
on Sunday. It indicates that there are at
least a few companies that are not entirely
indifferent to the interests of their employes,
and encourages the hope that a brighter day
is dawning when railway corporations will
acknowledge the divine right of all to devote
one day in the week to physical and mental
recreation.
Mrs. A. M. Laidley died, on Tuesday night
of this week, of pneumonia. The deceased
arrived here a week or two since from Oxford,
and has been keeping house for her son E.
W. Laidley, who is in the train service of the
company. She was 52 years of age. The
remains were shipped to Oxford, Wednesday
night, for burial. This is the second fatality
that has overtaken this family in our city,
within about a year, a married daughter hav
ing died over in West McCook shortly after
her arrival in the city from Oxford. The son
here has the profound sympathy of all in the
overwhelming affliction that has come upon
him.
The State Pair.
The management of the Nebraska state
board of agricnlture is arranging for an ex
traordinary fair and exposition at Lincoln in
September next. While the association was
organized almost exclusively as an agricultural
developing medium, and at first, and for many
years following, acted and worked in that line
principally because our own people, as a rule,
regarded the state as peculiarly and almost
exclusively agricultural in its characteristics,
of late years there has been most gratifying
tendencies in the direction of manufacturing
industries. As a result there has been organ
ized a state manufacturers' and consumer's as
sociation. Last year a large portion of the
agricultural hall on the state fair grounds was
given this association for its annual exhibit, at
the same time, on the same grounds, and in
connection with the state fair, as a part of the
great state exposition, and with most agreea
ble and satisfactory results. This year the
manufacturers’ association is to occupy all of
the large hall on the fair grouds erected for
and known as merchants’ hall. This will in
sure a grand exhibit of both the agricultural
and manufacturing resources of the state.
In asking bids for the relocation of the state
fair and exposition for the coming five years,
one of the prominent specifications will be for
a manufacturers’ hall of sufficient capacity to
accommodate the growing demands of the
Nebraska manufacturing factors.
The art demands of the state are of such
rapid growth that more space is required for
this department and will be furnished in due
time.
The superintendents of agricultural and
horticultural halls are already impoi tuning
the management for more space. Also the
poultry, honey and fish departments.
Columbian year seems to have stimulated
to fair work all over the state. County organ
izations are early in the field and already ac
tively at work for the coming fall campaign.
All in all the outlook for fairs in 1894 is most
promising, and the climax will come in the
final state grand round up on the days of Sep
tember 7 to 14 next.
