Tom Mclnroy, an oldtime Burlington engineer, passed through McCook on Tuesday morning, with his family, on their way to eastern Nebraska on a visit. They live in California and will visit here briefly on their return to the coast. C. S. McElherron, formerly a Benkel man boy and an old friend of the writer, has been transferred to Orleans as freight agent and operator. He and his wife arrived Monday and are now comforta bly located in a cosy dwelling in the west part of town.—Orleans Progress.

It was decided, Monday, that the sale of the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad by the sheriff will take place October u, in Minneapolis. It will take about $5,000,000 to redeem the property, and it is practically assured that the Rock Island system will bid it in. The road already owns the biggest bunch of Min neapolis & St. Louis bonds which can be turned over in the deal. One of Jake Burnett’s boarding trains came in from the west, Monday morn ing, and 54 men were paid off and dis charged. Many of the workmen left on the evening train for Sheridan to work on the Burlington’s Wyoming and Mon tana extension. We understand that the other boarding train will soon be taken off the west end also. Superintendent Harman issued a pass to 16 persons at this place to attend the congressional convention at Holdrege, Thursday, but General Manager Hol drege wired him to revoke all passes to delegates as the road was not meddling with politics. The pass was taken up and the boys were informed that they could make the round trip for full fare going and one-third returning.—Eustis Record. Owing to the inability of the Oregon Railway Navigation company to pay op erating expenses, the following reduc tions in wages have been made: All em ployes drawing over $100 per month, I2j< per cent; on all drawing over $50 to and including $100, 10 per cent. The above reduction applies to and has been accepted by the employes of the operat ing department, except trainmen, for whom a new schedule will probably be made. George Williams and Charles Smiley, the former a brakeman and the latter yardmaster for the Rock Island road at Fairbury, had a fracas, Monday night, which led to the death of Smiley. He was shot three times with a 38-calibre revolver and expired shortly afterwards. The trouble started in a dice game. Coroner Pritchett viewed the body with the jury and adjourned until Tuesday morning. Williams boldly states that he shot to kill and is ready to pay the penalty of his act. Smiley leaves a wife and four children. Williams has a wife and one child. There are wild rumors and the jail is being closely guarded.— State Journal. As a result of their connection with the recent great strike a large number of railroad men in St. Paul are making ar rangements to leave the country, claim ing they have been placed on the black list of all the railroads and can secure no places, no matter whether there are vacancies or not. About forty of these have made preliminary arrangements to go to the cape of Good Hope and South Africa, and others are talking of going to Brazil. Hard times here, work else where and cheap transportation largely influenced them, although they claim the principal cause is they are marked men and have no chance whatever of employment in this country.

Gov’t Report Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria, ~_■ 1 . .. , _■ i While in Lincoln, Thursday, we were deeply pained to meet Mr. and Mrs. P.D. Galarneau, vtho were on their way home to Alliance with the remains of their baby. They recently took the little one to Lincoln for treatment, which proved unavailing, its gentle spirit returning to its Maker, and with sad hearts they were taking the remains home for burial. They have the sympathy of many McCook friends. __ SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING j To the Head of the Family from the ■ McCook Mercantile Co.
