about after a siege of a number of weeks
of grip and rheumatism.
Brakeman Sam Gilchrist was a Brush ,
Colorado , visitor , last Friday , returning
on 4 , Saturday , accompanied by his bro
ther of that place.
Galen , son of Bridgemaster W.S. Perry ,
had a severe attack of membraneous
croup , last week , quite alarming his par
ents , but is all right now.
Brakeman F. S. Curry and wife were
called to Benkelman , Saturday , to the
funeral of her mother , Mrs. J. K. Balder-
ston , who died there on last Thursday ,
after a brief illness.
H.J. Clark of the Red Cloud Marble
and Granite works was in the city , Wed
nesday , putting up a handsome monument
ment of unique design over the grave of
Mrs. L. W. Stayner.
Mrs. A. E. Owen and the family ex
pect soon to return to Iowa to live. The
conductor will resign in the spring and
join the family in Iowa , where he has a
farm upon which they will move.
The pile driver left McCook , Tuesday ,
and it is expected it will be gone for
about two months. It was pulled by
engine 36 , Cbas. Coleman and Walter
Stokes engine crew and John Schlagel as
wiper.
R. B. Archibald was absent from the
city the first part of the week , having
gone to Chicago to attend a meetingof
the advisory board of the B. V. R. D. , of
which board he has been appointed a
member.
It is stated that the Chicago , Burling
ton & Quincy is contemplating the con
struction of a branch line from Bogard
by the way of Excelsior Springs to Lib
erty , Mo. This line would be about fifty
miles in length and would shorten the
distance between Kansas City and Bur
lington thirty-four miles.
Earl Gooding has been put in the
round house as wiper , in place of John
Schlagel , who was sent with the pile-
driver. It is not such hard work , and
the change will undoubtedly be to the
company's benefit , for Earl will not have
to sp ' end the first two or three hours of
each day warming his hands over the
fire , and remarking to everyonewhom he
sees , what an exceptionally cold morning
it is , as has been his custom daring the
past two weeks.

At a meeting of scientists at Geneva ,
Switzerland , recently , for the investiga
tion of the causes of crime , ete . called
the Congress of Criminal Anthropolo
gists , M. Tarde , a Frenchman , read a
paper before the congress , in which he
proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that
a better state of morals exists among the
railroad men than any other class of men
at trades erin professions. Using 10,000
as a scale to compute from , he finds 71
dishonest clergymen , 449 artists , profes
sors , teachers , etc. , 142 , journalists and
their brethren same as artists , while rail
road men have a percentage of 102. This
showing ought to have a tendenc > to
stop the croaking of some people and 1
am sorry to state that among them are
many railroad men who use any and
every occasion to proclaim the immorali
ty and dishonesty of our cla'.s of men.

bers of McCook lodge No. 1 , Star of Jup
