HEADING rOtt WYOMING.
The Liramio Boomerang speculates ns
follows : "A private letter from Fort
Iloblnsonsaya that the Northwestern road
will bo finished to that point by July
15th , and that they anticipate a big boom.
This road will pu h on through Wyom
ing , pitsing a little to the south of Hat
creek , and llionco to Fort Fcttorman ,
which will bring It within ninety in'les '
of Laramlo , and much nearer than any
point will bo to Cheyenne. It Is probable
that no tlmo will bo lost in pushing on
into the oil and coal regions , and in fact
a branch road will probably bo built at
( > nce , beginning at Kawlins , and running
north through the oil basins.
This news , together with that of the
contemplated building of the Burlington
and Missouri road from Grand Island
into Wyoming , or near Its south line ,
shows that the railroad companies have
an eye each on our rich coal deposits and
mineral resources , and that tboy will loss
no time in getting jnto the territory. An
examination of the map shows that the
projected line of the Burlington and
Mitsonri will bring that road directly to
ward the Dale creek canyon , and they
have an easy grade from third loathe
Laramto plains and their vast coal and
mineral' deposits , "
Very few people know anything about
the process of making up the lime carder
or cchodnlo which controls the running
ol trains on the ggpat railroads of the
country. To ono who examines the
matter but casualty it might seem to ba
an easy thing to name a time at which a
train shall leave Omaha , for example ,
and shall strike station A , station B , etc. ,
etc. But the method adopted is not so
simple.
A larpo wooden chart properly diagrammed -
grammed , a paper of pins , three spools
of red , blue and black silk thread those
are the tools which the man who maps
out the running tlmo of a vast sys
tem of trains passenger and freight
uses in his work. The chart is come two
or three feet square and nude so that
pins can bo stuck jnto it without any
great difficulty. It is croised at proper
aud mathematically determined intervals ,
by parallel lines , some running up and
down , some horizontally across the board.
The perpendicular lines as will bo seen
by a roferonca to tbo rough diagram ap
pended indicate- the hours at which the
trains start ; while the lines running hori
zontally indicate the positions of the
stations.
Omaha. 11 12 1 2
Valley.
North Bond.
Columbus
Now suppose that it Is desired to de
termine the running time of a train which
leaves Omaha at eleven o'clock , traveling
with a speed of thirty miles an hour ; or
moro particularly , suppose our railroad
friend desires to find the time when such
a train will reach Columbus , ninety miles
distant from Omaha.
He first fixes a
pin on the point Intersected by'tho line
" 11" and the line representing Omaha.
Columbus being ninety miles distant
from Omaha , it will take precisely throe
hours to make the run. Hence a
pin Is placed on a point
whore the line of the hour
2 o'clock p. m. intersects the line rep
resenting Columbus. In other words , the
train will roach Columbus at 2 o'clock.
Ho now takes a piece of silk thread and
ties ono end to the Omaha pin and ono
end lo the Columbus pin , and the hours
at which this thread crosses the interven
ing station Hues show the tlmo at which
the real train will pass the corresponding
places. *
For example , it will bo seen , by refer
onca to the diagram that the line crosses
Valley at 12 o'clock ; hence this is the cor
rect hour at which the train roaches
that point. So also North Bend is
reached at 1 o'clock. And all interven
ing stations will bo scheduled In like man
ner.
ner.The
The spaces between the perpendicular
hour lines , 11,12 , 1 , 2 , etc. , are divided
into 12-5 minute interstices , so that in
case a thread does ! not cross exactly at an
intersection , which ii 'almost invariably
the CBJSO , the proper tlmo of tbo train can
be computed. In this way , if the diagonal
representing the train in the diagram ,
were to strike the North Bond line , a
trifle to tbo loft of the 1 o'clock
line , It would show that the real train
roiched that point at a few minutes
before 1 o'clock. By a fine and math
ematically determined graduation , the
exact minute of tlmo can bo fixed upon. .
So also the time at which trains will pass
each other can ba ascertained by locating
the intersecting point of the threads
with reference to the hour linos. In case
ono train lias to wait for another the
fact is represented on the board by twist
Ing the thread of the delayed train
around two pins side by side , so as to
make tbo proper deflection for the amonnl
of llmo lost In waiting.
Red silk thread Is used
to represent ; passenger iniai
blue silk for freights and black foi
locali. All the
wtst-bonnd trains are
represented by threads running ts th
light , while cast-bound trains are rep
rented by threads running to the left.
When every train on the division
represented by its corresponding threaten
on the chart , iho surface U a perfect ne
work of bine red and black silk , with
upright pint at irregular Intervals
the whole resembling moro than anytbin _
else an intricate Chinese puzzle. Whe :
everything ia complete the making up c
the corresponding lima schedule is a
owy and almpio matter. Each dlvlslo
of the road , of course , has its aopaiat
chart. The curious system of comptlln

The now code of signals wont

Among the important changes which
re contained in the now time table is the
tinning of the Lincoln oxprots , leaving
icro at 1:30 : , clear through to Marysvlllo ,
vans. , Ins'cad of making the transfer at
Mao Springe , as hitherto. This change
las bocn necessitated as n matter of nc-
ommodatlon to the largely Increasing
assengor traffic in that direction.
The spring reaction in pasionger traffic

nd B. it M. trains , west bound , are cor-
ylog heavy lends , and largely Increased
osonunodations for the trat el have been
necessitated.

A doliclons ciomplificitlon of this old
and tlmc-honoiod Shakespearian nphor >
Ism has just floated to the surface , In Ilia
shape ) of an olopcmont , of which Omaha
was the acono of the happy culmina
tion.
Soruo time ago , it may bo romcmbcrod ,
there was a brlof aotico in the Omaha
dailies noticing , In an incidental way , the
marrlago in this city of Mr. llichard n ,
Baker , of Chicago , to Mita Ella Corn-
Block , of St. Louis. The wedding oc
curred Feb. 27. Immediately after-
wnrdaMrs. Baker proceeded to St , Louie ,
while Air. Baker remained in thin city ,
leaving hat Saturday noon.
The acmowhat atmugo foaturaa of
the union were explained by Mr.
B. to nn acquaintance , shortly betoro his
dep.irUiro. The acquaintance did not
Impart the story to any member of the
local press. Hla feeling of regard for Mr.
B. la too tincoro to admit of inch a pro *
ccdure. ( It is never the proper thing to
give away a friend. Of courto not. )
But hero Is Mr. B'a/version of the tale
of love , nevertheless.
For moro than a year ho had been
courting a fair maiden , Mlaa Ella , or
moro properly , Estolla , whoso father , a
wealthy man of St. Louis , lived in a pala
tial brown stone front on Morgan
street. The parents , bo It
aald , were violently opposed
to the match , and though the young lady
proudly told of a career of 22ycarj , they
Insisted that Mr. Baker should cease hla
woolnc ; , which could never find a con
summation in marriage.
But Mr. Baker disagreed.
So did Mlts Ella.
They put their heads together and
aworo by all ilia pin feathers In Copld'a
downy wings that they would bo mar
ried.
ried.Matters
Matters came to n crisis. Mr. and
Mrs. Gorrutoek determined that
it was tlma to take .final
and decisive action. Accordingly
Miss Ella was placed in ono of the con
vents which are scattered through the
"Future Great. " Strict aiders were Is
sued by the parental duet of match-de
stroyers that no communication , verba'
or written , should pass between the
daughter nd ho ; lover. The Sister
Superior promised that this point of com
mand should bo scrupulously attended
to.
to.But
But love defies the parental mandate ,
laughs at ilia feeble precautions of a sis
ter superior , Invokes the invisible power *
of the air to Its aid.
In secret cipher the two lovers almost
dally corresponded. The letters were
left In a certain place each time , within
the precincts of the convent , wera spcad-
ily exchanged , hastily opened , road and
answered. In this way an exchange of
bellet-daux was kept up until about
three weeks ago , when nn fortunately
sister found ono of the cipher letter * and
in eomo mysterious manner descoined
the trno inwardness of the affair. She
immediately informed the Slater Superior
who in turn , Imparted tha horrify
ing discovery to the parents.
It is needless to comment on the scene
ensuing. Miss Ella , confronted by her
parents , was informed that her clandes
tine correspondence would bo Instantly
closed , and forever prevented by the
most rigid measures of vigllancn.
Again Love throw down the gauntlet
of defiance.
Miss Ella immediately communicated
by messenger with the gentleman against
whom the parental edict had gene forth.
Ha replied and said that the tlmo had
come for declalvo action. She must meet
him within three days in Chicago , for
which place ho proposed to start immedi
ately. From that place they would go
Into Iowa or Nebraska , and bo nnitod in
that nnlon toward which the feelings of
beta had to long and earnestly Inclined.
The rest of the story is briefly told.
Mies Oomstook and Mr , Baker mot In
Chicago , whence they proceeded to DCS
Molnea , Iowa. There , for some reason ,
they could not procure a license. Coming
direct to Omaha , the necessary
legal papers wore speedily made
out for them in Judge
McCulloch'n court ( where they are now
on lilo ) and the next day the last scone
of n most romantic elopement was en
acted In the pastoral sanctum of a local
parsonage.
Mra. Baker is now at homo and has
in some measure appeased the parental
wrath.
Meanwhile Mr. B. made up his mind
to asaoit hia rights and claim his bride ,
and muttering to himself "I will face my
father-in-law and my mother-in-law , " ho
boarded the train.
He baa faced them.
Perhaps It were best to draw the cur
tain at this point.
