Times are different now on the Western
division. In 1892 there were 106 engine
crews on the division , and they were all
busy , too. Now there are but 55 engine
crews on the division , and they have
more leisure than they care to enjoy.
C. H. Quereau , assistant supt. of motive
power , came up from Plattsmouth , Sun
day night , to enjoy a hunt on the west
end. He went to Fort Morgan , Colorado ,
Monday night , with a party of local
sportsmen.
Operator Chambers , who left for a va
cation some two weeks ago , has engaged
in other business in Denver. Charlie
Pruitt , who was filling his place here ,
has accepted a station on the High Line
and will leave for there in a few days. A
young man by the name of Bash , from
Akron , has been assigned to this point.

Al. O'Neil was somewhat injured at
St. Francis , Monday , by a car jumping
the track on which he was riding. The
train crew were throwing a car down the
side track and Al. was riding it when the
accumulated ice along the rails forced it
from the track and it toppled over. Al. ,
of course , went with * it and sustained
some severe bruises. His face is some
what scarred , but he is on the run just
the same. Republican City Democrat.
That Fast Run.
S. Claj'ton , a brakeman in the emploj *
of the Burlington , has done up in rhyme
the recent record-breaking run on that
road from Chicago to Denver in about
eighteen hours , as follows :
A millionaire in New York
Who did not want for gold ,
Had a son who lived in Denver
Who was dying he was told.
A moment of meditation ,
And then a message flew
To one of the officials
At Chicago on the "O" .
He said a thousand dollars
He would pay to them with joy ,
If they'd land him in Denver
In time to see his boy.
Now Chicago is the center
For four competing lines
All of which run to Denver
And claim the fastest time.
This offer was made public
And the four competing lines
At once commenced to figure
On the distance and the time.
But then it was a question
If it was in their power
To make a trip to Denver
At sixty miles an hour.
The poor man was heart-broken ,
When he heard that three had said
That the time could not be made
For the living nor the dead.
The Burlington took the contract ,
And arrived two hours ahead
Of the time in the agreement ;
But , alas ! the boy was dead.
It was not the thousand dollars ,
But to prove beyond a doubt
That the safest and the quickest
Is over the Burlington Route.
The above is from the pen of a former
Allianceite , Sig Clayton , now residing at
Lincoln and braking between Lincoln
and Ravenna. Grip.

The new wall map issued by the Bur
lington Route is three feet four inches

road in the Union , and forms a very de
sirable and useful adjunct to any house
hold or business establishment.

apiece , but on receipt of 15 cents in coiner
or stamps the undersigned will be pleased
to send you one. Write immediately , as

F. G. Stilgebouer took the books and
records of the Bank of Bartley , ( now
defunct ) , to Indianola on Monday to be
left with the State Bank at that place.
The revival meetings closed , Sunday'
evening , but no conversions were made ,

denced by a large portion of the mem

About thirty friends of Mr. and Mrs.
O. Frost assembled at their home , Mon
day evening , and whiled away a few
hours in a pleasing manner. Table
games and refreshments received a
share of attention and the evening
passed all too quickly. It is a matter of
regret that we are soon to lose this de
sirable family.
The bank of Bartley ceased to exist on
Saturday evening of last week , and that
it did is a matter of sincere regret with
all who had the best interests of the
town at heart. True , personal differ
ences with the management have per
mitted some to exult in the lamentable
State of affairs , but ere six months have
elapsed they will no doubt regret the
statements so thoughtlessly uttered dur
ing thepast ten days. The loss of this
institution cannot fail to injure the town
as a market and trading place , to say
nothing of the inconvenience suffered by
those who have banking business to
transact.
The members of the Woman's Relief
Corps and their families and the cornet
baud gathered at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. F. G. Stilgebouer , Saturday even
ing of last week , to make them a fare
well visit , preceeding their departure for
Danbury , where they expect to reside in
future. Acceptable music was provided
by the band , and refreshments brought
by the ladies were served. The evening
passed in social conversation and expres
sions of regret for the loss of this family
were heard on every hand. Mr. Stilge
bouer and family left for Danbury on
Thursday and they have the wishes of
a large circle of friends for their pros
perity.
The Masonic lodge gave a grand re
ception in M. E. church hall , Wednes
day evening , in honor of O. Frost and
F. G. Stilgebouer. two members who are
leaving here. Extensive preparations
were made for the occasion and members
of the lodge and their families were pre
sent from far and near. Refreshments
of a high order were served and no one
was permitted to leave the dining room
without having first fully satisfied the
desires of the inner man. The cornet
band was present by invitation and ren
dered several agreeable selections. With
al the affair was a gratifying success , the
leave taking of the two brother Masons
being the only incident to casta shadow
upon the cheerfnl enthusiasm of the par
ticipants.
