TLo IilK Inter-Stato Blowout on
Saturday.
The opening up of a now railway
line is alwayn nn event of unusual in
terest , ovoti if it bo a stub road con
necting some interior town with the
main line of a great system , When ,
however , the inauguration of a great
trunk line is to bo signalized it must
bo done with the pomp and ceremony
befitting the christening of
A IIOYAIi INFANT.
It was an occasion of the latter
class which the press , Iho city officials ,
and the representative business mon
of the two cities on opposite banks of
the great Missouri , which catch ono
the first says the other the dying glow
of the orb of day , wcro called upon
on Saturday to celebrate , in company
with the local and visiting railway
magnates. In short it was the open
ing of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St.
Paul railway company's now Omaha
line for through pansongor traffic , as
on and alter to-day two express trains
will run daily between Chicago and
Council Bluffs ever the now road.
Great efforts are being made by the
officers of the Milwaukee & St , Paul
to make their Omaha route as popular
as any now running between Chicago
and that point. To accomplish this
at once they have waited the opening
of the road for through traffic until
the tracks had boon placed in the boat
possible condition and they had provided -
vided the line with the most improved
equipment. The trains to bo run
ever the now route are to bo in the
true sense of the word "royal trains , "
'mndo up of the finest and most olcgant
passenger coaches Pullman palace
aloeping-cars and palace dining-cars
that have ever boon placed on a west
ern road. To show the style of its
now equipment for the now line , and
particularly the magnificent now
dining-cars , the Milwaukee & St. Paul
gave an oxcuraion to the little city of
Earllng. 47 miles out on the road to
the Badger otato capital.
COMING EVENTS
cast their shadows before , and the run
out was made from an Omaha depot ,
where the invited guests were notified
that the train would bo in waiting for
them at 1:30 : p. m. The train crossed
the bridge at 10:30 : a. m. , and was
temporarily anchored on a track in
the Union Pacific depot where it
might bo admired by the passengers
on thn 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
md nioklo , was voted a triumph of
; ho machinists' handiwork , and of
decorative art. It consisted of : 0. , M.
& St. P. engine No. 433 , Engineer
Dave Roberts ; baggage car No. 104 ,
day coach No. 240 ; a dining car "B ; "
a Pnllman'drawing room car , "Nu-
nidia , " nnd the parlor car "America. "
The train was in charge of Conductor
3. 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
"Nurnldla" cared for by Conductor E.
D , Kern , As the lucky excursionists
were slowly arriving
A TODll OV INSPECTION
was made through the train before
the start. Tho. several cars were all
rolling palaces , as fine a qulntntto of
them as ever rolled across the broad
Missouri , but the magnlficonco of the
Pullman sleeper and the luxurious
ease and comfort of the parlor car were
Ml thrown into the shade by the
grandeur of the dining car , which ia
ono of six now ones iust put on by the
0. M. & St. P. railway , which are
credited with being the handsomest
in America and consequently in the
world. It is to this feature oapecial
attention is being dlroctod by the
officers of the company and therefore
a brief description will bo of intorosl

ON THE KOAl ) ,
At 1:30 : the train puliod out of the
U. P. depot nnd across to the
Transfer , where the visiting delega
tion from that point joined the Omaha
party , and soon wns spinning toward
the heart of the Hawkeye state at a
lively speed , its two score passengers
all bent on enjoying the occasion to
its utmost.
As if nature had combined with
the oflicials to show off their trains
and roads to the best 'advantage , a
aloT , drizzling rain had act in early in
the day and kept it up throughout
the trip. From the blight and
cheery luxury of the dining and pal
ace cars the passengers laughed at the
storm and soon gathered around a fcs-
tivo board , where sandwiches nnd
other cold viands were spread , flanked
by liquors to wash thorn down. This
was only putting in a uubatantial
foundation on which to rest the
*
KKOAL FEAST
that the guests were next naked to
partake of , nnd ever which they
spout at least two hours and a half of
time. The menu was served with a

Upon tno inside was 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 fallowing appropri
ate versos ;

Wo may live without conscience , and live

THE NEW UQAD.
The Chicago , Milwaukee &St. Paul
railroad is the shortest line to Chicago ,
being only 488 miles long , and its
track Is all steel rails , none of which
are ever 18 months old. The roadbed
is iu excellent condition , and rides
very smoothly , having been well bal
lasted. Although in the freight pool ,
the road is not in the passenger pool ,
and hence express trains wiU run
seven dayi in the weak , beginning
Sunday afternoon.

HOW HE MISSED HER.
A Pro-Hymeneal Tour In a 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
tor's department of the Union Pacific ,
and the other a lady who for four
years past has been in the employ
of the president of the Union Pacific.
A dispatch received by the gentle
man a few days ago announced that
the lady would arrive Friday , and
accordingly ho wont ever to Council
Bluffs to rajiot her. As ho did not sao
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
lady did not como as
a common passenger , but arrived
on the morning train in Mr. Dillon's
private car and had baon immediately
brought ever the bridge. Driving to
the headquarters in a carriigo she
learned that her affianced Wasnot
there and coneequontly wns
somewhat at a loss to know what
to do until oho met an old
acquaintance who took her to his
homo.
The clerk arrived in the evening
feeling considerably disappointed and
was rather surprised to find the true
state of affairs and that his pros
pective bride had arrived ahead of
him. However , as nils well that ends
well , ho was satisfied and the mooting
was as folicitious as could have boon
desired.

COLORED VOTERS MEETING.
A colored men's mass mooting was
hold at John Lewis' hotel Saturday
croning , at which W. II. 0. Stephen-
eon was elected chairman , and A. W.
Parker secretary.

C. D. Bell , A. W. Porker nnd W. II.
Butler , was appointed on resolutions ,
nnd in just tlireo minutes loportcd a
sot of cut and dried preamble and
resolutions , condemning the action of
tholato republican convention for not
giving them representation on the
legislative ticket , and onu pledging
themselves not to support its candi
dates.
After Messrs. Boll , Parker and
Stephenson hud inudo opooohcEi the
aamo was adopted.

CAIIU FBOM Mil. O4B3LEY.
To The Editor of TIIK BEK.
For the first time in thn history of
Douglas county politics , the colored
voters have a candidate fcr the legis
lature. This distinction has been con
ferred upon them by the anti-monopo
list party , and ought to excite the
prldo nnd appreciation of every colored
voter in the state. Sinca their en
franchisement the colored citizens of
the north hava stood firm and true
for a party , which , profcjaint ; its devo
tion to equality and justice , has per
sistently ignored their claims in all
their party conventions , and religious
ly discouraged every effort mndo
by them for political preferment.
Wo have witnessed how the party cau
cuses and conventions each year
strengthen the ticket by giving each
class or nationality a representation ;
but not a word or an effort , in all
these years , to strengthen the ticket
by giving the colored voters a repre
sentation. Against this injustice colored
orod 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
do not support it , wo cannot , In 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 placed upon the ticket , the
Germans vote for him. . So with the
Scandinavians , Lot it ba BO with
the colored voters. Lot them stand
by Mr. Overall not on personal
grounds , but because ho stands as ths
rep resent at Ivo of every colored man
in Douglas county , and a vote for him
is n vote for all , and a vote against
