Sweeney of the Burling ton west • bound passenger train saved the lives of two children, last night, by possessing strong nerves and a quick eye. The train was running at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour, and when it rounded the curve at twenty-seventh street Engineer Sweeney saw two small children playing on the track. He in stantly slapped on the airbrakes and re versed the engine and succeeded in stopping the train when the pilot of the locomotive just touched the little ones. The children looked up from their play and laughed at the big engine, while the engineer climbed down and taking them in his arms carried them to their mother, who came running down from a nearby house.—Omaha Cor. Journal. Holdrege, Neb., May 15.—[Special.] —As freight train No. 77 came into the yards at this place, yesterday, the en gineer applied the brakes and came to a sudden stop. A. D. McNeer of Hast ings, who travels for the Lininer & Metcalf company of Omaha, and who was in the caboose, was thrown to the floor. In his fall he struck on a large spittoon on his side and back. He was taken to the Hampton house, where he is receiving attention. While the injury is not serious, he will be laid up for some time.—Lincoln Journal. The state board of equalization raised the valuation of the St. Francis branch of the B. & M. $500 per mile over last year.A short time ago, for an inter val of a few hours, there was not a B. & M. train moving in one direction or the other between McCook and Denver. It is said the like conditions had never existed before, and are not likely to again.—Beaver City Tribune. Station Agent Conover hung up the red lights at the depot, the other day, and announced that it was dangerous to fool with “dad.” Upon investigation it was learned that the cause of his strange conduct emanated from the fact that his heart was filled to “statiety” on account of a little girl that his wife pre sented to him this week.—Red Cloud Chief. The Burlington is preparing to run its Omaha-Chicago trains with oil for fuel. These engines are' now being fitted up in the Aurora shops with apparatus. The engines will be completed in a few weeks and an experiment will be made with oil for fuel. The officials are en thusiastic and are confident that the ex periment will be a success. Monday the new time card goes into effect. The effect on the branch is, or will be “great.” We are to have a passenger, a “flyer,” to connect with the main line at Republican City and Hastings. Our train will be a through train to Hastings. Good for the B. & M.—Oberlin Opinion. The Rock Island railroad officials will send Jewell, the rainmaker, into western Kansas again, this year, to experiment with his rain-producing apparatus and materials. They are satisfied that he was measurably successful, last season, and he will be better equipped this year. The state board of equalization have finished their work. They report an increase of mileage of only seven and a half miles over 1892. The valuation of Nebraska roads is decreased $121.54 per mile. But the average reduction on the Burlington was $250.00 per mile. Mrs. Thomas Crabtree was severely bitten on the right arm, about ten days ago, by a big dog, and has suffered much pain from the wound. The animal should be kept tied up or be killed. E. Hanson, the company’s genial claim agent, left on 2, Sunday morning, for Illinois. He will return about the 22d, accompanied by his wife and young son. Mrs. J. E. Sanborn arrived home from Lincoln, Sunday. The Tribune has it unofficially that our new three-sixteenths postmaster has already been a su bject of complaint at the general post office at Washington.

A pass ing locomotive is given as the cause of the fire. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy system paid a net dividend of 5 per cent, last year, in spite of the business de pression. Count Pullman’s employes are out on a strike, and four thousand and odd more persons are added to the grand army of the unemployed. The Oberlin papers announce that passenger service will again be resumed on that branch of the B. & M. It will be our turn next.—Beaver City Tribune. Willow Grove Addition Is the only part of McCook in which you can be independent and control your own water. If you find a nuisance like Meeker prowling about the back yard you can “abate” him by turning hot or cold water on him, and he can’t hide behind Cap. Phillips or the city ordinance. You have to pay about the same for water from the Lincoln Land Company in McCook that you do for rent of your house. In Willow Grove Addition you can dig a well, put up a windmill and tank for about what it costs you to pay water tax in other parts of McCook for one year. C. F. Babcock will sell you lots at from f 50 to f 200 in this addition that are just as good,, nearer the high school and as near the business center of Mc Cook as lots for which the Lincoln Land Company will charge yon from $200 to $500. _ The Home Market.

Jnst now when armies of unemployed men are congregated in and aronnd Washington, and when hundreds are making their way thither, the article of Harry E. Kelley entitled “A Precursor of Anarchy,” which appears in the Chicago Magazine for May, will receive more than passing attention. The writer ably sets forth the weakness ol our present government, showing that they inhere not in our constitution or in our system of government, but in the repre sentatives that are sent to Washington and to our state capitals to legislate in the interests of the people, but who with few exceptions devote ther energies to schemes of self-aggrandizement, politi cal intrigue and the advancement of the interests of private enterprises.
