. Enjwiito to the Pacific coast, whereas
he-puts It," I'm will s'pend several week
resting, J. C. Stubbs, formeY director ot
traffic or the llarrhnan system ot roads,
but now retired, though stilt doing some
thing In tho way of doctoring sick rail
roads, was In Omaha a short tlmo yester
day morning.
Mr. Stubbs came on a special car at
tached to Illinois Central No. 11' and wmit
west on a special train made up here
and sent over tho Union Pacific. All told
there were fourteen peoplo In tho party.
There weer the members of the Stubbs
family and some friends. Mr. Stubbs tele
graphed ahead, Inviting General Fro'sht
Agent Lane and General Passenger Agent
Baslnger of the Union Pacific to meot
him and accbinpnny him on the trip. They
wero unable to go through to tho co'iet,
but they rodo with tho former traffic
director as far as Ogden, returning from
there.
Mr. Stubbs said that ho had heard many
reports about the Immense wheat crop
that Nebraska has In prospect and for
the purpose ot seeing for himself desired
to mako the trip across the state In the
day time. Since his retirement from ac
tive railroad work Mr, Stubbs haB boen
residing at Ashland, O., his Old home.
There, on a pension from the Harrlman
roads, amounting to moro than $15,000 per
year, he manages to live comfortably,
though to earn a little money on tho side,
he occasionally goes out and doctors sick
railroads.
The last railroad that was under tho
caro of Mr. Stubbs was tho Wabash.
That road was very sick and the different
railroad doctors that had been called wero
unable to diagnose the case. They nil
gave It up and finally Mr. Stubbs was
called. That was moro than six months
ago. Ho gave his medicine and prescribed
something along the lino of osteopathetlc
remedies and tho rd.ad commenced to Im
prove. Recently It was turned back to
the stockholders with tho Information
that If tho prescribed treatment was fol

complete recovery and that eventually It
would ba as good, a piece of, railroad
property as any In the country.
Ohio, nt least that portion of the itnto
stricken by the flood, according to Mr.
Stubbs, Is getting back Into normal con
dition, but It will be months and perhaps
years before thero will bo a complete
restoration of tho improvements swept
