The Burlington railway has in course
of construction in the Baldwin shops a
locomotive that is expected to do great
things in reducing speed when it comes
out and goes on the road at the head of
the Chicago fast mail. It is believed
that the Burlington is now able to lay
down the Chicago mail at Council Bluffs
at noon. What it could do when fully
equipped with locomotives of the new
pattern is as yet problematical.
A special train of three sleepers ,
Ghizen , Coventry and Orinoco , and filled
with eastern real estate men and capitalists -
talists passed through Lincoln yesterday.
They have been brought here to see
Nebraska and the big cereal bouquet she

to McCook last night and were probably
to visit Culbertson and Imperial. Today
they are to go to Oxford and Red Cloud
and up to Hastings. From there they
will go to Aurora and up to Broken Bow.
Loup City is on the route and the party
expects to return to Lincoln on No. 12
about Friday.-Wednesday's Journal.
A special from Starbuck , Wash. , says :
The Burlington railway is coming west ,
and there are reasons for the belief that
it is coming in a hurry. A new route ,
running nearly midway between the
Northern and Union Pacific , through a
wild and unsettled country , is now being -
ing explored and surveyed with all possible -
ble haste by the engineers of the company -
pany , who are working many miles south
of the routes usually considered available -
ble for the Burlington road. The engineers -
neers are well suppled with surveying
apparatus and evidently are anxious to
get to work as quickly as possible , owing
to the shortness of the season on the
Rocky mountain slope. From one o f
them it was learned that they propose
to locate a line up the valley , working
east toward the Wyoming line , and probably -
ably crossing it in the northern part o f
Fremont county , opposite the National
park , unless a better route through the
Rockies can be secured by crossing into
southern Montana.
One of our engineers tells a story o f
his experience in the South during the
' 70s. On one occasion he overheard a
yardmaster tell an ordinary "shack" to
"skin up the right ob way dar ; git a kar
peg and clevis an' brought it har , kase
I'se gwine to make a hitch" . He wanted
a link and pin to make a coupling of two
cars. On another occasion he was standing -
ing near an engine when the check valve
stuck up. The engineer yelled at the
fireman : "Say , you boy , freeze onto
that sof hammer ; move yourself to dat
biler waive on left side ov running dode
and knock dot ar sucker "down" . Being
that his policy had just run out , and
fearing that the Block System was run
by the Gulf Stream and the Tr-weekly
Jerkwater only made one trip during th e
wet season , owing to the hills , hollow s
high places in the track , it behoove d
him to be moving north , where at a
school examination an ordinary erigineel
I could spell pumpkin the first time an d
bold his job.
