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.

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

Mrs. A. C. Robinson arrived from Cur

Wyoming division, to go to work for the

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.

“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.

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.
