Claike went down to Anselmo, Saturday, on a visit. A daughter was born to Mrs. L. S. Vierson, Sundaj' morning The express office has been moved over into the freight house. Mrs. Fred Harris is here from Omaha on a visit to her parents Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Menard. The trainmen waxed it to the clerks, Monday afternoon, in more or less ap proved style, to the tune 21 to 9. Isaac Schrock, the aged passenger who fell from No. 2, Sunday morning of last week, died the following morning. Foreman J. T. Ritchie, of McCook, was installed as round house foreman at Sheridan, this week.—Alliance Times. B. V. Plaley was down from McCook, this week, making some improvements in his hog ranch south of town.—Hol brook News. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Coy and Miss Lena of Holdrege, passed through here, Sun day night, on their way to Denver on a visit to friends. Misses LaVaughn and Edith Phelan will start, Saturday, for a ten months term at the Academy of the Sacred Heart, St. Joe.—Alliance Grip. Night Operator Pruitt is experiencing a ten days lay off at this station for not sending the regular daily weather report to headquarters.—Benkelman News. Engineer Stuby had his foot severely mashed at Sheridan, the first of the week, and is now laying off while his engine is in the shops.—Alliance Grip. On Thursday of this week the Burling ton closed the stations of Kanona, Cedar Bluffs and Traer, in Kansas, and Max, Nebraska. Dull times and failure of crops is the cause. Walter Stokes has been sent to Mc Cook where he has gone to firing. This is a promotion for Walt and his many friends here are'please to see him getting to the front.—Akron Press. Frank Urbane of Omaha, carved his initials on a Burlington passenger car, Tuesday, and now has his full name, first and last, on the police blotter for the crime of malicious destruction of property. B. J. Hazelbaker, formerly of the Bur lington out of McCook, is now conductor on the Sata Fe out of San Francisco, under Trainmaster F. S. Granger, for merly assistant superintendent and con ductor on the Burlington. What is said to be the longest passen ger train ever hauled was taken over the Jacksonville, St. Augustine & Indian River line several days ago. It consisted of twenty-five passenger cars and one baggage car, and carried 1,500 persons. The train was hauled by one locomotive thirty-eight miles in a little over one hour. General Manager Holdrege of the Bur lington says there is no truth in the Cheyenne statements that the Burling ton would take the Cheyenne & North ern. Mr. Holdrege also says that Re ceiver Trumbull of the Gulf has not made any propositions to him for the use of the Burlington roundhouse at Cheyenne. Special Agent Druse of the B. & M. came in, Tuesday, with special car No. 99 from Hot Springs, S. D., where he went with Superintendent Bignell, who will probably remain at the springs a month or more. Mrs. Bignell will re main with him until he begins to im prove. Mr. Bignell stood the trip as well as could be expected, but at times suffers the most excruciating pain.—State Journal. The Tribune regrets deep]}' and pro foundly that so many of the wild and wierd stories concerning our smallpox scare are the result of thoughtless re marks made by trainmen, jokingly. The joker is out of place in such an emer gency. In this instance by his injudi cious “joshing” he has caused the city of McCook great loss and infinite annoy ance. In the language of the immortal Grover, “Tell the truth.” . The real danger involved in the pro posed increased speed of railway trains —say 90 to 100 miles an hour—is not, according to Kuhlows, in incidental risks, but rather in the curves of the ex isting lines, which render any such speed impossible unless the weight of the engines and trains be also increased far beyond what the bridges and perma nent way would bear—that is, at the first sharp curve the loo-mile train would fly off the rail. Kuhlows further remarks that, as the force tending to throw off the line of a train running at the speed of 150 miles an hour would be about six and a half times greater than that which a steam express train resists at a curve when running at 62 miles an hour, it is plain that the present lines could not be used for the lightning express, even though the electric motor were substi tuted for the steam engine, the lines must not only be stronger, but straighter than would be possible by any modifica tions of their present forms.
