Personal anil General.
The newly-Invented locomotive , bull !
by the Locomotive Improvement Com.
pany , of Toledo , arrived In the city yes
terday from Denver. It will bo tested
iodsy by trial runs to and from the Sum
mit , umlor the supervision of the inventor -
vontor , Merrill , and in the presence of
selected oxpcrta. In case the mnchiuu ii
anything like as wonderful as it claimed ,
steps will bo taken ta Introduce the pat
ent over the entire system.
The now cede of itilcs and tignals for
the Kamm Pacific division lias been 1s-
ancd , to go Into effect March 1st. These
rules are the same as these which will bo
, iiit forth for the main divisions of the
Union Pacific some time Iat r , when
the now Bchodulo of time is is
sued. The obnoxious rulci , G and 17 ,
have boon modified and are now entirely
natttfactory to the engineers who wore so
aggrieved n short tlmo ngo. "Indeed , "
said n member of the brotherhood , to a
lost "wo not satisfied
reporter night , are only
isfied with the way in which the railroad
comp.iny 1ms modified these rales , but wo
are glad to BOO the whole cede of regula
tions and signals , as now changed , go
Into effect. Wo bollovo that many of
ihom are just what are needed to protect
the mutual uafety of the cjmpnny nnd of
the employes. Kvory ono of the mon on
the road cannot but bo satlfiod. "
The committee of engineers is still In
the city , and are unnbb to name a
tlmo when they will leave. It Is quito
probable $ at they will await the return
of Mr. Callaway , in order to discuss with
that gentleman the subject of a readjust
ment of the acalo of wages.
PERSONAL AND
J. n. McConnell , North Platte , and
division master mechanic of tha Union
Pacific , la in Omaha.
It will bo ot interest to local railway
men to know that A , E. Ton/.tlin , well
known in this olty , has resigned his posl-
altlon ns vice president of the A. , T. &
S. F.
Ilarry Ulau has been appointed chief
train dispatcher on the A. & N. division
of the B. & . M.
The Union Pacific officials are at pres
ent very busy In preparing the now tlmo
Ublc , which Is to go into effect about the
first week In March , and will change the
arrival and departure of all trains on the
system.
The B. & M. people report that they
are nnablo to fally handle their freight
traffic , on account of the difficulty of pro
curing cars to meet the demand.
" WEIGHING'THE MAILS ,
A Process -which Determines the Hail
Contract Ilctwcon Undo Snm
and the K llrouls.
The ma'l ' weighers who wore sent oat
by Mr. Griffin , of the railway mall serv
ice , have returned. "With ono or two
exceptions they are all Omaha men , who
have received special commission to do
the work. They are W. H. Freeman , J.
B. Saunders , J. Bornbardt , Goo. E.
Jjako , O. D. Hapjgood , James Mills , Goo.
H. Fltchott , R. F. Booth , D. B. A. Frls-
by , J. L. Hobba , J. W. Dawson.
This process of weighing the mails has
been going on for the past few weeks In
the South Platte country , for the most
part on branches of the B. & M. The
necessity for such a procedure is discov
ered In the fact that certain portions of a
mail route which have not been weighed
for some tlmo are producing either In
creased or diminished business , and hence
need to bo examined in order to show the
amount of mall trailic. Or on newly
opened branches it Is nocoesiry to weisb
systematically the mail received on the
trains ; in both cases the object being to
fix the scale of compensation for the rail
roads.
Those reports are made np and handed
to Mr. Griffin , who in turn gives them to
Superintendent White , of the railway
mail Borvlco at Chicago. Thonca they
are sent to Washington , where the re
adjusted Bcalo of compensation for the
railways Is prepared.
A NEW KOUTE.
Mr. Griffin has received official notifi
cation from Washington of n novr cloeec
pouch railway service , which is to bt
placed in operation March 2 , botweot
Cedar Rapids , Neb. , and FuUetton. Tin
now eervlco will take the place of tin
old stage line delivery. Thns are thi
stage routes disappearing from the faci
of the postal man of Nebraska.
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY ,
And Coinpl lnH Thereof ISeply ti
QuorulauH Criticism.
To the Kdltor of TIIK BKB.
I road In Sunday morning's Republl
can an article in the column , ' 'Entr
Nous , " relating to the public library
which Is manifestly unjust. As a frloni
and patron of the library I crave you
kind indulgence In penning an answer.
"Tho hours of closing , " says our kooi
acentud critic , "are not well chosen. Oi
week days the library opens at 10 a. m
nnd closes at 9 p. m. ; on Sundays 1
opens at 13 in , and closes at 7 p. m , amen
on five or eix holidays In the year don'
open at all. Under the exletlug regula
tious It Is impossible for u working inai
to derive much benefit from the rcadlni
room of the library. "
As many of the laboring class loav
vrorKat 5 o'clock , and all at 0 , It seem
to mo that there is plenty of time far
patron to got to the reading room In an
plo time to have an hoar and a half hi
fore the library closes ; unless , of course
ho lives at a remarkably long dlstanc
from the esntro , in which event , It H no
very probable that he wonld Inavu hi
homo after a hard day's work , anywaj
So much for tint point.
Mr. "Entro Noun" then ssratchos hi
head , and tries hit beet to actro int
oxUtencu another thought of crit
clam. It comes at last. Ho complain
became on Sundays , when people ai
supposed to have more leisure than o
any other day , the hours are the ahortcs
Ho forgets that the librarian and her a
eutants , however near they may B ]
preach to the angelic tt&ndard , are all
human , and once In a while becou
aflllcted with a weariness somewhat eV
to that , I have no ilonbt , oxperlenci
by Mr , "Entro Nous" after he had coi
ploted the the task of evolving tl
weighty iutlclo In question. Stran ;
thing to bo euro , but three llbraria

like to have n few honts oyory Son-
d&y ID themsalvoj. As for holiday vaca
tions , 'tis strange that they should
bo allowed two or three antiro days out
nf the whole HOD , but , dear "Lntro
Nous , " won't yon kindly bndlo your
Impatience until the enlightened public
Rraep with avidity your ooloct ldc s on
the subject , and , rising up as ono man ,
say : "Thoo librarians must glvo np
these three days or ba foraver banished.
Oar friend , attar moralizing m the

his pants , and goes at it again. Ho tails

ati who are allowed to pit * " 20 tno li
brary , tholr only aim being to got near the
"atovo , book In hand. "
I don't know whether this Intelligent
journalist Ssafnid that the superannuated
tramps when "near the Btovo , book In
hand , " will scorch tholr shins , or burn
their shooB , or perchance walk oft with
"tho book , atovo in hand. " And
I won't try to guess. What constitutes a
tramp ? Poor clothes ? Lack of money ?
I presume the dear boy would have a
sptc'ul examining board appointed to
spot every male visitor as ho entered ,
holut him with a derrick , view him at a
telescopic distance , in order to see that
clothes and that
there were no holes Inhis
In other respects his wardrobe wai of the
most olcaant. Further , It would bo a
precaution but necoesuy In the pursu
ance of this policy to turn his pockets
insldo out with a crooked wire and dis
cover full ovldonco of his non-trampship
In the existence therein of copious de
posits of gold and ailvot ?
No , as long as a visitor does not abuse
the privileges and courtesies extended to
him , ho Is as much entitled to them as
"Entro Nous" himself , though , in comparison -
parison wlththat fastidious individual , his
propsrtlons nny not bo quite so delicate ,
his clothes quito so new , his moustache
qulta so exquisite , hia shoes quito no

FREMONT , iNeb. , February 25.
To the Editor of the BKE.
H. H. I. asks in to day's Isaua cf your
paper why conductors are dishonest.
While wo are forced to admit there are
dishonest mon In all pursuits , wo claim
that there ara an average per cent of hon
est conductore , that will favorably com
pare with any other class of mon em
ployed to handle money. And H. H. I ,
places himself on the side of dishonesty
by flimsy and disgraceful efforts to justify
the act of theft , by charging the officials
of being thieves as well if they had a
chance. Ho also gives the spotter a hard
hit , which ho ( the spotter ) no doubt de
serves , but It strikes mo that all the ele
ments and attributes required to make a
spotter of the most contemptible stripe
are prolifically displayed in this man's un
just accusation that conductors are dis
honest. And I think any conductor would
bo justified in "firing" him from any
train , regardless of speed , on general
principles.
Ho further misrepresents fact ] , and
shows his ignorance in railroad work , by
charging a conductor with pulling out a
drawhead. Any conductor that will
maliciously step off his caboose when a
train Is being pulled out of a siding and
grab the rear und of a train and pull out
a drawhead , should bo made to pay for
It. Again , ho expretses extreme disgust
for the spotter , who will hound and in
sult a conductor who is a credit to the
road , until they get him "fired. " I wish
to ask If any dishonest man Is a credit
to the road. Ho might be an
accommodation to that class of the public
represented by H. H I. , but is a dis
grace to the road and the profession.
But I think not ono conductor iu a hun
dred on this road would knowingly asso
ciate with ono who exhibits so little prln-
c plo , or regard for truth , and I can only
account for his outburst of false accusa
tions by thinking ho may have been dis
missed from track service for stealing old
spikes and selling them to the nail woiks.

CHAPTER I.
"I was taken sick a year ago
With bilious fever. "
"My doctor prononnccd me cured , but
I got sick again , with terrible pains in my
back and sides , and got so bad I
Could not move !
1 bhrnnkl
From 228 Ibs. to 1201 I had been doc-
oring for my liver , but it did me no good.
' did not expect to live more than three
nonths. I began to nso Hop Bitters.
Directly appetite returned , my pains left
me , my entire system seemed renewed as
" my magic , and after using soviral bot-
les , I am not only as sound as a sovereign
iut weight more than I did before. To
Hop Bitters I ovro my life. "
R. FITZPATKICK.

CIIA1TER II.
'Maiden ' , Mass. , Feb. 1,1880. Gentlemen
suffered with attacks of sick beadache. "
Neuralgia , fcamalo trouble , for years In
the most terrible and excruciating manner.
No medicine or doctor could glvo mo
ellef or cure , until I used Hop Bitters.
"The first bottle
Nearly cured mo ; "
The second made mo as well and ttrong
when a child ,
"And I have been so to this day. "
My husband was an Invalid for twenty
years with a serious
'Kidney , liver and urinary complaint ,
"Pronounced by Boston's best physl-
: Ians
"Incurablol"
Savon bottles of your Bitters cured him
and I know of the
"Lives of eight persons"
In my neighborhood that have saved by
your bitters ,
And many more are ualng them with
great benefit.
"They almost
Do miracles ? " Mra. E. D. Slack.
How TO GET SICK. Expose yourself day
and night ; cat too much without exercise ;
work too herd without rest ; doctor all the
time ; take all thovile nostrums advertisednnd
then you will want to know how to gut well ,
which is answered in theke words- Take Hop
Bittora !
None Ronulno without a bunch of green Hops on
