NO MORE EARLY MORNING TRAIN
FROM BONE8TEEL.
IT WILL REACH HERE AT NOON
Pnosenuer Service Extends to Dallas
Next Sunday Leaving Dallas at 6
( i. m. , Train Gets Here nt Noon.
Train From West Hour Later.
There will bo nn morning train In
Norfolk from Boncstocl after next
Sunday.
Beginning Sunday , passenger ser
vice will extend to the end of the now
extension at Dallas , S. D.
The early morning train arriving In
Norfolk over the main line from Chad-
ron In the past will hereafter come
through from the end of the line nt
Lander , Wyo. , and it will arrive in
Norfolk nbout nn hour Inter than nt
present , so tlmt In the future Norfolk
people going to Omnha In the morning
will drive to the Junction and lake the
train at 7 o'clock Instead of Inking a
train nt the uptown station at 5:45 : as
at present ,
These are some of the features of a
new time cnrd which will go Into ef
fect on this division of the Chicago
& Northwestern next Sundny.
Noon Train From Dallas.
Instead of the passenger train which
has for some years left Boncstocl nt
midnight and reached Norfolk in the
morning , there will hereafter bo a
passenger train from Dallas dally ar
riving in Norfolk at 12:20 : , noon , and
reaching Norfolk Junction at 12:25 : , in
time to connect with enBtbound pas
senger train No. C , going to Omaha
and Chicago from the Black Hills.
This now train will leave Dallas at
6 o'clock In the morning. It will bo
known as train No. 406 castbound and
40G northbound.
Returning to Dallas , this train will
leave Just as the Boncsteol train now
leaves at 12GO : , noon.
This now train will do away with
the night rldo from Bonostoel to Nor
folk , nnd It will also make It Impos
sible for a person to come to Norfolk
from that line , transact business and
return homo the same day as is now
possible.
Likewise , it makes it Impossible for
a person from the Dallas line to go
through to Omaha , transact business
and return the next day. The trip
will hereafter require three days.
Leaving Dallas In the morning , a pas
senger will reach Omaha at night. Af
ter transacting business the next day ,
It will bo necessary to wait until the
third day to return. This will make
it possible to como to Norfolk , spend
the afternoon and night and return
homo Just twenty-four hours sooner
than would bo possible In going to
Omaha.
This Dallas train will not go through
to Omaha. Some of Its conches will
bo plnced In the Omnhnbound train ,
but the train itself will rest hero for
a day.
This now arrangement may monn
the bringing of n half dozen now fam
ilies to Norfolk in crews.
Sunday Morning Train From West.
From the west the Lander train will
como every morning , including Sun
days , so that hereafter people living
west of Norfolk may come to this city
on Sunday morning.
A now feature of this train will be n
sleeper which will como from Lander
to Norfolk.
At present Norfolk people going to
Omnha on the morning train may
catch their train nt the city station at
G:4G. : With this train not arriving un
til noon after Sundny , It will bo neces
sary for Norfolk people to go to the
Junction depot to catch the Lander-
Omaha train , which will arrive from
the west at 6:40 a. m. , In time for
breakfast.
But in the future people may take
the Dallas-Omaha train uptown nt
12:20 : In making trips to Omaha on
the afternoon trnln.
The train leaving hero at 7:10 : In
the morning for the north will go only
as far as Bonestcel , returning at 7:1G
In the evening as now.

L. E. ANDERSON OF CHICAGO IS
HERE INVESTIGATING.
WOULD ESTABLISH A FACTORY
If Mr. Anderson Could Find Swampy
Ground Containing Peat Moss He
Would Start a Factory to Produce
Peat Fuel Cheaper Than Coal.
L. E. Anderson of Chlcngo , repre
senting the U. S. Peat Fuel company ,
Is In the city Investigating the possi
bilities of establishing n plant for the
production of peat fuel In Nebraska.
The essential to the Industry contem
plated Is a largo bed of swamp land or
bog , and this it Is feared will bo dif
ficult to find In the country around
Norfolk , although It Is probable that
such lands may bo found near the
lakes In the western part of the state.
Mr. Anderson says that his company
la now manufacturing a good fuel from
the bog In marshes , which when treat
ed becomes as valuable a fuel as hard
coal and that it can bo put on the
market at considerable less price than
anthracite.
Peat is a deposit formed in bogs
by the decay of vegetable matter , and
Is found In low places which are
swampy all the year through or which
overflow periodically. In composition
it differs from coal only in the relative
proportion of its constituents , peat
containing 55 to 62 per cent of carbon ,
while coal contains 88 to 92 per cent
It is the theory of geologists that pent
Is formed of rank vegetable matter ,
such as rushes and cat tails , falling
under water after frost and there de
caying , the water giving the mass a
different chemical result than though
It had decayed in the atmosphere. In
the course of 3,000 years this mass
would become coal if loft undisturbed.
Through the process by which the
U. S. Peat Fuel company treats the
moss , It Is removed from the marshes
by dredges and carried to the factory
where It races through the various
processes and In about thirty minutes
emerges from the other end In hard
chunks ready for the furnace , thus
doing mechanically in half an hour
what nature requires thousands of
years to produce.
Mr. Anderson is attracted to Ne
braska by the lack of coal deposits in
this state , which necessitates shipping
in everything that is burned , except
timber grown along the streams , which
Is now becoming a factor in fuel con
ditions. With the high price of fuel
In this state , Mr. Anderson realizes
that If a few good peat beds could bo
located so as to reduce the cost of
transportation , his company could es
tablish a few factories and coin money
with their output and at the same time
confer a genuine blessing upon the
people of the state.
From Norfolk he will go to the west
ern part of the state where he expects
to find peat beds In the shallow ponds
and along the lakes of that section
that will bo worth promoting.
CONFLICTINGjyiRE ORDERS
An Echo of the Telegraph Strike
Reaches Norfolk.
TFrom Tuesday's Dally. ]
An echo of the big telegraph strike
struck north Nebraska when two con
flicting orders , both supposedly orig
inating from L. W. Quick of St. Louis ,
grand secretary nnd treasurer of the
O. R. T. , sped over the wires. The
first message , which was reported over
some wires , purported to order rail
road telegraphers to refuse to handle
Western Union business.
Later yesterday the following mes
sage , issued by Secretary Quick , was
sent In to the Union Pacific office in
Norfolk :
To Members of the 0. R. T. : Am
informed message purporting to have
been signed by mo Is being sent over
railroad wires instructing railroad te
legraphers to refuse to handle West
ern Union business. That message
is a fake , pay no attention to mes
sages of that character. You arc re
quested to strictly observe your agree
ment with the railroad company ; you
should perform the same duties now
that you did before the commercial
telegraphers' strike , nothing more ,
nothing less. Telegraphers nt junc
tion points are requested to furnish
a copy of this message to other lines. "

ed that the M. & O. operators at Emerson -
orson and at ono other point had re
fused to handle commercial business.

FORGING TOJHE FRONT
West Point Rapidly Taking Place
Among Towns of Its Class.
West Point , Neb. , Aug. 10. Special
to The News : West Point is rapidly
taking its place among Nebraska
towns of its class. The improvements
made this summer , these under way
and in contemplation entitle the city
to claim rank with its more preten
tious neighbors. Three of the busi
ness blocks of the city have bqen
equipped with solid cement sidewalks
from end to end , a new bank building ,
finished in natural stone with all the
modern appliances and improvements
is nearly finished ; a fine brick block ,
replacing nn old frame structure Is
under way and a number of business
houses are undergoing elaborate im
provements and alterations. In addi
tion to the above the extensive plant
of the West Point creamery , which for
the past ten years has been closed , Is
now being actively operated by a com
pany of local capitalists. The Regent
Shoe company have now under con
sideration an offer from the citizens
of West Point to establish a shoe fac
tory here and the Neiburg Manufac
turing company , just incorporated by
local parties , will certainly erect a
commodious factory in the near future ,
for the manufacture of the patented
oil and gasoline cans. With all these
valuable Improvements and with the
contemplated utilization of the im
mense water power of the Elkhorn
river , now running to waste , prospects
are excellent for this city becoming
what Its founder dreamed of but did
not live to see realized , namely , the
"Queen City of the Elkhorn. "
