He cnmo from Lincoln. While working In the yards nt the latter place ho was under a man who had but ono arm. This phjslcal deficiency made It difficult for the agent to note the letters and numbers on the cars In his yard and ho cultivated a memory to assist him In the work. This save nn Idea to White , and being possessed of strong retentive faculties naturally It did not require much of an effort to train his mind in the direction of remembering cars. cars.A A short tlmo ago o train of thirty cars was loaded with stock nt the distillery and the agent hero sent White down to take the let ters and numbers pn the cars that the rec ords might bo mndo out and ready for the trainmen when they came to the freight ofllce. White departed and In an Incredibly short tlmo ho was back and began calling off the letters and numbers to the clilef clerk. As there were cars of seven different roads In the train the agent was not Impressed with the reliability of White's verbal report. When the test came , hcjvcver , It was found that every letter and number had been re ported correctly. Mr. White's present duties are the notify ing of shippers of the arrival of consign ments of freight nnd Issuing switching or ders for the cars. If a shipper telephones nn Inquiry regarding a particular car ot freight it is said that Whlto furnishes nil the particulars offhand , giving kind of car , number and Its present whereabouts In the jurdfa.

Frisky old John Merry of LaPlattc , Neb , does credit to his name It the story related by himself Is true. He Is a tiller of the soil of Sarpy county and came to the city late Sunday evening to visit a friend out at Florence. Yesterday morning at 7 o'clock as ho was walking down South Ninth street n woman called to him from the doorway at No. 103 nnd asked him to come In nnd buy some beer for her. Although 70 years of age , the old man says he likes to watch the sprightly notions of the painted sex , so he concluded this was his opportunity. Ho bought the beer nnd tnlked to the woman for a time. When ho departed he discovered that $7 of his cash had grown wings for the purpose of making a miraculous disap pearance Ho went to the station and filed n complaint against the woman , as ho wanted his cash returned to him.

The Board of Honlth has raised the quar antine on the Derby family nt 1720 South Thirteenth street , In which nn 18-jear-old girl was stricken with smallpox , nnd the city has come Into possession of a clear bill of he.Uth , so far as this disease Is con cerned. This was the last of the forty-two cases reported In the city during the past six months. On December 6 the first case was reported to the Boird of Health , but nt that tlmo the. disease had nlreadj been hero exactly n month , although Its Identity wai , not known.

A feature of rare local Interest win bo the appearance next week nt the Orpheum of the notable little Council Bluffs nrtists , Frances McMillan and Margaret Stephan. Since their first appearance nt the Orpheum several months ago they have been attend ing school nnd nt the same time learning now songs nnd dancee. These they will pie- sent at their second engagement , which Is certain to provo n great drawing card. The subtle character delineation of Mr. Felix Morris In "Tho Vagabond. " which he is now presenting at the Orpheum , approaches preaches the very highest rench of dramatic art. The theme of the Tittle piece Is rlfo with pathos. Its central figure Is an old soldier supposed to have been killed at Missionary Ridge , but who lives to make a gieat sacrifice for the sake of his beautiful daughter. On Thursday , Friday and Satur- diy Mr. Morris will appear In "Percy Pen- dragon.
