Always the Lowest and Best Values Can be Found at C. M. NOBLE’S. ♦ I i HIGH RAILWAY SPEEDS. High speeds on- railways formed the subject of the inaugural address of M. Du Bosquet, president of the French Society of Civil Engineers. He states that the reason speeds are not maintain ed on the level is because the engines are not sufficiently powerful for this. Some experiences with the dynamometer made with speeds from 37 to 75 miles, and of which the results have been ex tended to greater speeds, show that for the same motive force of 11.2 lbs. per ton, a train reaches a speed of 75 miles on a decline of one-half of one per cent., 57 miles on the level and 31 miles at an incline of one-half of one per cent. To increase the average speed by a small amount, the power of the engine must be much greater. If 800 horse power is sufficient to draw a train at 75 miles an hour up an incline of one-half of one percent., 2,960 horse power will be re quired to draw the same train up the grade at a speed of 125 miles per hour. In high speeds the weight of the engine per horse power generated is important, as there is always a limiting speed be yond which the engine cannot draw it self, let alone a train. Really high speeds, the speaker stated,, will be ob tained only by diminishing the weight, per horse power, of the locomotive, and by limiting the load to be hauled to a minimum.—Railway Engineering and Mechanics. The pass question is a peculiar phase of railroading. A branch train of a Nebras ka railroad recently departed from one of its termini with thirty odd passengers on board. Ten paid fares for various short distances. Over twenty had passes for in the main long distance rides. To be sure this may be an isolated case. But?— The high speed cranks are never still. An elevated electric railroad is now pro posed. A, speed of 150 miles per hour is claimed. The line must be practically straight. The center of gravity of cars is below the rails. The lifting power of aeroplanes is used to overcome the grades. Cards are out announcing the ap proaching wedding of Engineer Frank G. Westland of our city and Miss Lottie Sanburg of Lincoln. This interesting event will transpire on the 16th at the residence of the bride’s sister in the capital. The Southern Pacific will build a bridge across the Mississippi at New Orleans. The bridge will be 10,500 feet long, for double tracks, of the canti lever type, and will cost $5,000,000. Auditor Brandt was at headquarters, this week, on business of his depart ment. The boys insist that Brandt must be a direct descendant of Julius Caesar, whom they claim he resembles. H. H. Bell, a conductor on the Mc Cook division is taking a part of his lay-off by taking a look at the Wyoming division. That’s right, come and see us. —Alliance Grip. They have commenced operations on H.

Michael Smith of McCook, was in town Monday, at tending to business_J. M. Presnall, A. A. McCoy and O. W. DfeWald were McCook visitors, Monday evening.— Trenton Register. The postal note system is to be discon tinued July ist, as it has been thoroughly tried and found wanting, both in con venience and safety. The money order system is to be improved and cheanened. Abstracts of title will be furnished promptly and accurate by C. T. Beggs. An effort is being made to organize a stock company to take charge of the populist paper. The new land officers will most likely assume charge of the McCook office, July ist. ‘ ‘Resistance to tyrannical use of power is the'highest type of manhood” says Tourgee. McCook got left out in the cold in the land office appointments, sure. Lawyer Rittenhouse had business in Indianola, Monday. Mrs. A. R. Amice was the guest of Mrs. J. P. Burton of Oxford, over Sun day. SPARKS FROM THE RAILS. Grace Sanborn was up from Orleans, yesterday, on a visit. Speaking of “pulls” the engineers “pull” is tolerably strong.

L. W. McConnell & Co. There is some corn in this county ready for cultivation. Up to the present time the crop con ditions in Nebraska are favorable. Though localities are in some need of moisture. The Tribune is the only paper in Red Willow county that publishes all the county printing. We do it by author ity—and it’s correct. Some women are a good deal like but ter. The softer they are the more they spread themselves. And the same might be said of some men. In Hayes county, Nebraska, according to the American. Newspaper Directory for 1894, now in press, the Hayes Centre Republican has a larger regular issue than any other paper. Advertising rates made known on application. It is probable that ther irigation con vention which met in McCook, Nebras ka, will awaken a deep interest in the subject of irrigation in that state. The farmers, and in general all the people of the western part of the state, are very greatly interested in irrigation, but they have only recently become aware of how much it would help them in the cultiva tion of their farms.—Denver Republican. Mr. Covey made the mistake of his life when he neglected to form the num erous Commonweal armies into a trust and then send a powerful lobby in broad cloth to Washington. Instead of a re ception with clubs the Commonweal magnates would then have received the freedom of the city and would have been allowed to trample down the grass with the same recklessness with which other trust magnates trample down the rights of the people.—Bee. Tuesday morning, Marion Powell dis covered smoke issuing from a box car standing on the side track near Mayor Duncan’s elevator. On going to the car he found that a hole had already burned through the bottom and the fire was making good progress. The timely dis covery saved not only the car but also both elevators, stables, corn cribs and the Barnett lumber yard, as the were all in fair range with the wind blowing from the south. It is supposed that some tramp must have cooked his break fast in the car and neglected to put out his fire.—Indianola Independent. /■•/.V.
