Engineer Harris and family have re turned to Red Cloud. Auditor Foreman of Denver, was at i headquarters, close of last week. Assist. Supt. Harman was down from Holyoke on business, Wednesday. Orders have been given to all section men along the Burlington Route to keep their good right eyes peeled for Russian thistles along the right-of-way, and to eradicate the same when found. This is a wise order and should be thoroughly executed. There is no room in America for the Russian thistle. Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Gildner of McCook, were visiting Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Christ, this week . . .Mrs. C. E. Magner of Mc Cook, was in Oxford, this week, the guest of Mrs. C. C. Graham and others. Misses Lulu Stingle and Ora Burton were McCook visitors, this week.—Ox ford Standard. In the death of their little daughter Anna, aged 19 months, Sunday night, from measles and complications, a pro found and inconsolable grief came into the home of Conductor and Mrs. Frank Kendlen. And The Tribune voices a general sentiment in tendering the be reaved parents the tenderest and heart felt sympathy of the community. The remains of the dear one were taken to Hastings on No. 2, Tuesday morning, for burial, being accompanied by Mr. Kendlen Mrs. Kendlen, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Kenyon and Mrs. Kay. They oc cupied the trainmaster’s private car. About one o'clock, Sunday morning, passenger train No. 4 ran into an open switch at the west eml ot the Holdrege yard and a serious wreck resulted. The front wheels of the engine followed the main line, but the drivers took the side track. This in a trice overturned the engine, and the engineer, G. R. Oyster of our city, was pinioned under the same, from which he was released only after great exertion—the injured man’s nerve and presence of mind aiding the rescuers greatly in their work. After being re leased Mr. Oyster was hurriedly removed to Holdrege. and an examination showed that one of his legs was broken at the ankle, the muscles on the same leg were torn loose at the knee, and he was pain fully scalded about the lower part of the legs, which together with the shock sus tained made his condition very severe, and serious. Besides the calf of the broken leg was badly mashed. The fire man, Sam Delaney, escaped with slight injury. The engine and tender were over turned and badly wrecked, and the bag gage and mail cars were both damaged somewhat, but the passengers and other trainmen escaped injury entirely. The wrecking crew from here was soon on the scene and the track opened for trav el, the wreckage being removed during the day. It is stated that the crew of the Edgar branch train failed to close the switch. At any rate the respon sibility for the misfortune seems to rest between that crew and the Holdrege yard men. No. 5 ran through the switch westbound without mishap. The train was in charge of Conductor Bonnot. And now we are informed that the Burlington railroad is transporting fami lies on the line west of McCook to any point on the system that they desire to go, free of charge, with the understand ing that they will be carried back free next spring. Again it is reported that this same road will spend thousands of dollars in an irrigating scheme which will doubtless make the land "out west" more valuable, and will indirectly in crease the productiveness and value of land hereabouts. 'Ve all say to them, God speed in their enterprise. Of all the roads that traverse the great west, none have been so progressive, or have done more for the territory through which they pass than the Burlington. When the grasshoppers visited us years ago, they sent in aid, transportation free. They have ever been alert in the matter of introducing seeds that would prove successful under our peculiar climatic conditions. They have spent thousands of dollars in the way of advertising, calling attention to this country and its remarkable soil and resources. They have given the most liberal rates to the immi- i grant. In these efforts they have not i always been loyally supported bv the ! people whose interests are identical with theirs. But we are inclined to believe that under the present exigencies greater wisdom will prevail, at least we hope so. There is no doubt but what some reader of this will remark, "Yes, you are paid for that.” You are mistaken, kind reader, we are not; and while we have no apologies to make, yet we want to say by way of explanation, that we don’t owe the railroad anything, and won’t even get a “thank you” for this, yet we believe in using good horse sense in these matters, and in the pulling togeth er for our common interests, and in the giving of credit where it is due. It has been in the past that a man dare not ex press an honest conviction without some one jumping up and yelling, "corpora tion tool;” but thank goodness the time has come when honest men look at these things without the blur of partisan prej udice before their eyes. — Republican City Democrat. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report. ABSOLUTEl* PURE Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. Mrs. J. E. Robinson was called down to Lincoln, last Friday, by the serious illness of her mother. We hear it stated that John Burton and J. R. Sircoloumb have been let out of the company’s employ. Mrs. A. C. Robinson arrived from Cur tis, Monday, and is the guest of her son, Dispatcher J. E. Robinson. One train crew has been let out of the service, and two engine crews are soon to be. Thus the work of retrenchment goes on. Engineers F. W. Campbell, Jack Fitz patrick and Will Archibald and Firemen Charles Williams and William Higlin left on No. 2, Tuesday morning, for the Wyoming division, to go to work for the company under Supt. Phelan. The company loses one of its best en gineers by the death of G. R.Oyster. We understand that in addition to his insur ance in the Workmen, he was a member of the Officials’ and Employes’ Accident association, and was in the Burlington relief. In March, 1S72, the roads in what are known as the Pennsylvania system were capitalized at $40,000,000 and the yearly earnings were then $25,000,000; now the roads in the system are capitalized at $815,000,000 and the net earnings are $40,000,000. A meeting of rate clerks of lines inter ested in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Utah rates was held at Kansas City, August I, for the purpose of revising and reissuing, effective Sep tember i, the regular quarterly rate sheet of the trans-Missouri lines. “An engineer who abandons a mail train is guilty of a violation of the United States statute relative to retarding the mails.” Judge Williams announced the above decision ;n ruling upon the indict ment against Engineer William Best and Fireman Kellett at St. Paul. Tuesday. He directed an acquittal of the men on the charge of conspiracy to do an unlaw ful act because of the failure of proof, but he clearly stated that he thought the men guilty of the charge of retarding the mails in deserting their train on a main line. The Weekly Kansas City Star Addresses the farmer as a business man and a citizen.

All the news, too, and plenty of good reading for the family. Now read in 100,000 farm homes. Fifty-two big S-page newspapers for 25 cents. To any one who sends the Weekly Star five yearly subscribers, together with J1.25 the paper will be sent one year free. To Road Overseers. It is suggested by the county7 commis sioners that road overseers in the several road districts cut down and destroy the Russian thistles along the public high ways at once. Work so performed will be considered the same as regular road work, and overseers will issue road receipts in payment to apply on poll or land tax. C. J. Ryan, Commissioner. Fine Printing.

A fine rain fell over this section of country, yesterday and last night, which may go toward making some feed, if not corn. Should some moist weather fol low, however, there are fields in the county that will yield some corn yet. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.
