STILL AT 1T.
The B. & o. Keeps its Place in the
Lead and Knocks off more Hours
in the Time to the East.

in the Time to the East.
New and important changes in the
time schedule of the Baltimore and
Ohio company into effect Oh the 22d,
promises to be greeted with very
decided favor by the people
throughout the entire west. Very
radical improvements have OF late
been perfected in the track and man
agement of the road, and now that
everything is in order for making
remarkably fast time, the new sche-
dule is announced, and from this
time on things will fairly hum on
the old line. The time from Chica-
go to New York is very materially
lessened, as the train which form
erly left there at 405, will, under
the new schedule leave at 5.l5. All
the leading eastern lines have thro'
express trains for the east leaving
at this hour, and the b. & D. with
its splendid facilities and unequelled
advantages in reaching Washington,
arrives in that city a full night in
advance of the 5.15 trains on COM
peting roads, or, in other words,
passengers leavin G on the b. Il o.
arrive at Washington next evening,
while by taking the 5.15 trains of
other lines, the National Capitol is
not reached until the second morn
ing. Another very striking advan-
tage possessed by the Baltimore and
Ohio road is, that it is the only line
from Chicago running solid trains
through to Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York. As
the trains are made up here, so it
goes through, there being no change
of cars Of any class whatever. To
those who do not take sleeping cars
for the entire journey but who make
themselves comfortable in the reg
ular coaches, the absence of all chan
ges cannot but be exceedingly CRATE
full. The regular coaches are of the
very finest description being of the
latest pattern and supplied with
every possible convenience. Thou.
sands of tons of new steel rails have
been laid, and the motive power has
been largely augmented by a num-
ber of new and very powerful en-
gines. In short, the B. & o. is to-
day without superior in offering
first class facilities to the travelling
public, and at the same time remains
the model fast line of the country.
The new palace sleeping cars con-
tinue to call forth the undisguised
admiration of the travelling public.
They are 80 spacious and so elegant
ly appointed as to afford the greatest
possible comfort while travelling,
and certainly no sleeping car line
in the country has more sffable and
accommodating conductors and por-
ters. The parlor cars just placed
upon the line are beyond all ques-
ton the finest being built in this

The committee of arrangements

The committee of arrangements,
appointed on celebrating the CON-
pletiOn of the Columbus Branch,
have had several meetings, aud it is
understood that the Company will
do their best to furnish free trans
portation to our friends along the
line who desire to come (and there
are thousands of them), but there is
a doubt, as yet, as to when the road
will be completed. The committee
will report as soon as day can be
definitely and safely fixed for the
celebration. 1t will probably be
Saturday, June 4th.

Mischief is inherent i'm some
people, and crops out on any favor
able occasion. Some men make
practical joking stHdy. 1t is their
delight by day and forms part of
their dreams i'm the night, and the
probability is that they will finally,
if they can, play joke on Aud
Nick, yet, and "gie' him an unco
slip" There's Brodfuehrer and
Meagher, for instance. Well, the
Mayor has sobered down now, and
we hear of him no more in these
directions--is too busy for tricks !;
but Brodfeuhrer is "too awful mean
for anything" with his jokes, and
ought to be curtailed in some way.
If somebody that is good at the
business will only take hold of him,
the JOURNAL will do it's share to.
wards turning the tables on him.
But we started out to tell of another
affair. At the ferry Saturday a
thing occurred that is worthy of
mention, as illustrating the general
principle which we placed at the
head of this article. The south land
ing is movable. TO suit the varying
moods of the stream, and Saturday,
it happened that there was quite a
little stretch of water beyond the
platform, and through which all
hands were compelled to wade be-
fore they could get to the sand
island in the stream. Those gen.
tlemen at hand who were not pre-
pared to take to the water, were
carried upon the backs of those who
were SO prepared. Among the for
mer was Louis Phillips who was
perched upon the back of Frank
Owen. When about half way across
the water, and where il was about
two feet deep, Frank fell back
wards, casting young Phillips into
the water, and wetting him through
and through. Frank, of course, was
compelled to 60 under, too, and
came up blubbering and blowing,
but well enough pleased with the
sport to play the same trick with the
next fellow that offered,

CresfOn.

Ed. JOURNAL Farmers are all
very busily engaged in putting in
their crops, and they feel almost as
sure of a good crop as though they
had it gathered; and the hope of a
good crop after two years failure is
enough to make one feel happy and
be pleasant.
Mr.. M. Postle is preparing to erect
new house on his farm here. Good
news for "bachelors."
A very interesting entertainment
was given at the Creston church
Thursday night last by the "chil-
dren's missionary band" which is
represented by the following: Cora
and Earnest McCandlish Nellie,
Cora, Hattie and Emma Jackson
Harry, Walter and Ida Scudder
Eliza and Lizzie Belknap, Mabel
and Allie Alderman. These chill
dren are not only an honor to their
parents, but the community.
Mrs. Jackson and Drake and Miss
Laura Belknap received a vote of
thanks for their labors and kindness
in preparation of the entertainment.
DIR. Scudder of India made a short
but pleasant address.
This band will give another enter
tainment ere long, and we hope that
everybody that can will attend.

Jack Lewis and Henry Wilson,
arrested and held on suspicion that
they were the burglars of our Coun-
ty Treasurer's safe, had their hearing
before Police Judge Bowman on
Saturday last. The evidence showed
that the two men were i'm the city on
the evening of the burglary; that at
Scheck's tobacco store they inquired
for work said they. were from
Chicago on their way to San Fran
cisco; inquired what that brick
building was in the eastern part of
town, &c. A lady recognized them
as two of three persons she saw on
the railroad track between z and IL
o'clock of the same night. A pecu-
liar track bears a resemblance to that
of Wilson. Lewis's hearing came
first, and having been held in bond
Of $500, Wilson's attorney advised
him to waive examination, as the
testimony would be of the same
character. Lewis's bondsman was
his brother, Jason, of Omaha, who
appears to be a clever gentleman.
Wilson failed to give bond in the
sum of $1,000. The officers seem to
have no doubt that these are the
guilty men.

night.
The weather yesterday WAS exceedingly
disagreeable, and very few persons were on
the streets.
The woods near Failing creek, on tho
Petersburg turnpike, have been on fire for
several days. The rain, however, may
