Saturday.
The opening up of a now railway
line in always an event of ununual in
toroRt , oven if it bo a stub road con
nceting some interior town with the
main line of a great system. When ,
lowovcr , the inauguration of n great
runk line is to bo signalized it must

jcfitting the christening of
A IIOYA& INFANT.
It waa an occasion of the latter
lass which the prczn , the city ofliciala ,
nd the representative business men
f the two cities on opposite bank ? of
ho great Missouri , which catch ono
ho first says the other the dying glow
f the orb of day , were called upon
n Saturday to celebrate , in company
frith the local and visiting railway
nagnatos. In abort it waa the open-
ng of the Chicago , Milwaukee it St ,
? aul railway company's now Omaha
ino for through passenger traffic , as
on and attor to-day two express trains
vill run daily between Chicago and
Council Blufl'a over the now road ,
3real efforts are being made by the
officers of the Milwaukee & St. Paul
o make their Omaha route as popular
us any now running between Chicago
and that point. To accomplish this
at once they have waited the opening
of the road for through traflio until
ho tracks had boon placed in the boat
loaaiblo condition and they had pro-
ridnd the line with the most improved
equipment. The trains to bo run
over the now route are to bo in the
rue sense of the word "royal trains , "
made up of the finest and most elegant
> assongor coaches Pullman palace
looping-cars and palace dining-cars
.hat have over boon placed on a west
ern road. To show the style of its
now equipment for the now line , and
mrticularly the magnificent now
dining-cars , the Milwaukee & St. Paul
; ave an excursion to the little city of
darling , 47 miles out on the road to
ho Badger state capital.
COMING EVENTS
cast their shadows before , and the run
out was made from an Omaha depot ,
where the invited guests were notified
hat the train would bo in waiting for
hem at 1:30 p. m. The train crossed
.ho bridge at 10:30 : a. m. , and was
omporarily anchored on a track in
the Union Pacific depot where it
might bo admired by the passengers
on the overland train and others ar
riving at this time of day. The mag
nificent specimen of the equipment of
the now road , as it lay there bright
and fresh in all the glory of now paint
and nioklo , was voted a triumph of
the machinists' handiwork , and of
decorative art. It consisted of : 0. , M.
& St. P. engine No. 433 , Englnoor
Dave Roberts ; baggage car No. 1G4 ,
day coach No. 240 ; a dining car "B ; "
a Pullman'drawing room car , "Nu-
midia , " and the parlor car"Amorica , "
The train was in charge of Conductor
S. G. Lund , of Marion , Iowa ; the
dining car of Conductor D. P. Mo-
Adam , for eight years in the service-
of the Pullman Company and the
"Numldla" cared for by Conductor E.
D. Kern , As the lucky excursionists
were slowly arriving
A TODU 01' INSPECTION
was made through the train before
the start. Tim several cars were all
rolling palaces , as fine a qulntntto of
them as over rolled across the broad
Missouri , but the magnificence of the
Pullman sleeper and the luxurious
oaao and comfort of the parlor car were
all thrown into the shade by the
grandeur of the dining car , which is
ono of six now ones just put on by the
0. M. & Bt. P. railway , which are
credited with being tha handsomest
in America and consequently in the
world. It is to this feature especial
attoutiou is being directed by the
officers of the company and therefore
a brief description will bo of interest
to all

There are four boxes under each car ,

section is devoted to dining purposes.
The seats , chairs and steam pipe heat

rarely been soon , that occupies a

ON THE IIOAI ) .
At 1:30 the train puliod out of the
J. P. depot and across to the
Transfer , where the visiting delega
tion from that point joined the Omaha
> arty , and soon wns spinning toward
.ho . heart of the Hawkey o state at a
ivoly speed , its two ecoro passengers
ill bent on enjoying the occasion to
its utmost.
Aa if nature had combined with
the officials to show off their trains
uid roads to the best 'advantage , a
ilov , drizzling rain had set in early in
the day and kept it up throughout
the trip. From the bright and
ahoery luxury of the dining and pal-
icc cars the passengers laughed at the
storm and soon gathered around a fes
tive board , where sandwiches and
other cold viands were spread , flanked
by liquors to wash them down. This
was only putting in n substantial
foundation on which to rest the
*
IlKfUL FEAhT
that the guests were next naked to
partake of , and over which they
spent at least two hours and a half of
timo. The menu was served with a
different wino at each course , Super

car system , seeing that none disobeyed
tho. scriptural injunction to "Eat ,
drink and bo morry. " The following

Upon tlio insldo waa the Menu ,
printed upon satin , fringed at the
bottom , and hold in place at the center
by a silk cord and tassel. Under the
satin , printed upon the lower loaf of
the card , were the following appropri
ate versos :
"Wo may live without poetry , music and
art ;
Wo may live without conscience , and live
without heart ;
We may live without friends ; wo may live
without books ;
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks. "
"He may li\o without books what is

HOW HE MISSED HER.
A Pro-Hymeneal Tour in n Special Car
*
*
It is rumored that a big wedding
will take place in a day or two , ono of
the parties to which is a well-known
and popular clerk in the freight audi-
: or'a dopattmout of the Union Pacific ,
and the other a lady who for four
pears past has been in the employ
of the president of the Union Pacific.
A dispatch recoivcd by the gentle
man a few days ago announced that
the lady would arrive Friday , and
iccordingly ho went over to Council
Ulaffd to tqpot her. An ho did not BSD
her face among others on the arrival
of the eastern train ho remained until
evening , only to be again disappointed.
The fact is that the
ady did not como as
a common passenger , but arrived
on the morning train in Mr. Dillon's
private car and had baon immediately
Drought over the bridge. Driving to
; ho headquarters in a carmgo she
learned that her affianced wasnot
there and consequently wan
somewhat at a loss to know what
; o do until fiho mot an old
icquaintanco who took her to his
lomo.
The clerk arrived in the evening
'eolinij considerably disappointed and
was rather surprised to find the true
state of affairs and that his pros
pective bride had arrived ahead of
liim. However , as alls wall that ends
well , ho was satisfied and the mooting
was as folicitioua as could have boon
desired.

To The Editor of Tim BEE.
For the first time in the history of
Douglas county politics , the colored
voters have a candidate for the legis-
aturo. This distinction has been con-
'erred upon them by the nnti-monopo-
iat party , and ought to excite the
pride and appreciation of every colored
rotor in the state. Sinca their on-
iranchisemont the colored citizens of
Lho north have stood firm and true
For a party , which , profotsinq its devo
tion to equality and justice , has per
sistently ignored their claims in all
their party cinvontions , and religious
ly discouraged every effort made
by them for political preferment.
Wo have witnessed how the party cau
cuses and conventions each year
strengthen the ticket by giving each
clasa or nationality a representation ;
but not a word or an effort , in all
those yearn , to strengthen the ticket
by giving the colored voters a repre
sentation , Against this injustice col
ored men have protested. Wo have
so much desired a ticket made up of
citizens of all classes and trades , and
without distinction of color , and if wo
da not support it , wo cannot , hi the
Future , claim any special favor at the
hands of any party , whom wo may ask
For representation.
The Germans command the respect
of party leaders because when a Gor
man is pieced upon the ticket , the
Germans vote for him. . So with the
Scandinavians. Lot it ba so with
the colored voters. Let them stand
by Mr. Overall not on personal
grounds , but because ho stands as ths
representative of every colored man
in Donglas county , and a vote for him
is a vote for all , and a vote against
him is a vote against all.
