FAST
The Fastest Run on Record Between
Chicago ana Pittsburg.

The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette of
recent date says: "The special train over
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago
railroad bearing the Lost IN Nel0 York
company, which is playing at the Bijou
theater this week, made the run between
Chicago and Pittsburg in ten hours and
forty minutes. The train started from
Chicago after the performance Sunday
night. 1t was at the time of the intens-
est cold, and for that and other reasons
thirteen stops were made inside the limits
of the city. After the start was finally
made, the run was the most remarkable
on record. 1t arrived in Plttsburg only
ten minutes behind time, that is, only
lost ten minutes on a fast schedule time in
$50 miles. This WIS at the average rate
of speed Of a mile in every one minute
and twenty seconds, including stops. The
fastest runs we're forty-nine miles in forty
two and one-half minutes and thirty-five
miles in t~hirty-two minutes
This is undoubtedly very fast for the
East, but Mr.. j. G. Thomson, bill clerk
at the Burlington & Missouri, tells of a
run of thirty-fve miles in eighteen min
utes, made between Cheyenne and
Holyoke. Mr.. Thomson thus far wears
the belt, and the Pennsylvania company
must get larger engines if they wish to
be able to keep up with the Burlington &
Missouri in the matter of fast running.
Mr.. Thomson claims that the time was
not taken by a Waterbury watch, but a
good Waltham caught the flying engines
gait as it flew over the rails.

Mr.. Van Devanter spoke quite pointed
ly upon the subject. Men sometimes
experienced a change of heart. An
incident illustrative OF the point he sought
to make had occurred upon the floor of
the house quite recently and there was q
possibility of ''history repeating itself in
this direction.
The gentleman who bad stated that they

were attached repeated the assurance
quite emphaticallY.

tees. There was no response to this.

ANOTHER RESOLUTION.

resumed By the introduction Of Mr.. Van
Devanter's resolution declaring the APP
polntment of house standing committees
null and void. No discussion ensued.
The first ballot resulted in a tic. Being
informed that he was a qualified elector
on this question, the speaker ordered a
reconsideration Of the vote. The ayes
were swelled by the votes of Mcssrs.R Rum
mel and Snyder, Democrats, and the res
olution was carried. No attempt was
made to resurrect the original resolution,
and the speaker unconcernedly announced
that the regular order of business would
be proceeded with as usual.

bany county was read. The reason for
his action was mentioned in yesterdays
issue of this paper.

THE question of playing base ball on
Sunday arouses a great commotion in
Omaha every year. Singing invectives
are hurled at it from the pulpit, while the
newspapers assume the position that as
many people have no opportunity to take
any recreation except on Sunday their
harmless pleasure in this direction should
not be interfered with. The ball season
opened with a flourish in Omaha last
Sunday, and was the subject for consider
alton in pretty nearly every city pulpit,
Bishop 0'Connor and a few other clergy
men refused to consider the subject, as
they believed that if baseball was not SIN
full in itself playing the game on Sunday.
when it neither disturbs religious services
nor keeps people away from them, does
not make it sinful. 1t is probable that
all games will be arranged hereafter so as
to take place at an hour when no religious
services are in progress.

JNO. r. CARROLL. Editor.

JUDGE MAGINNIs' decision to dissolve
the injunction restraining the formation
of the new counties Of Converse and Sher-
idah will be received with very general
satisfaction. Most people who have
studied the question, and whose visions
are not obscured by their personal inter
ests, believe in the theory that new coun
ties will contribute materially to the rapid
settlement of the territory. Land in the
neighborhood of a county seat must ap
proximate in value and settlers are at.
tracted by the knowledge that their loca
ton can at no time force them hundreds
of miles to a far distant county seat in
search OF justice or as witnesses at court.
There are many people who would have
been much better satisfied had two coun-
ties been formed from the northern end
of this county instead of one, but as one
county is the result of the legislative tur-
mol all fair minded men are of the opinion
that the people living in that section
should not be hindered in their effort to
effect an organization.

THE subject of discussion at a meeting
of Methodist ministers in Philadelphia the
other day was the condition OF the Amer
lean Indian. Several clergymen ex-
pressed regret hat a communication ad
dressed to the president asking that the
bible be introduced into the schools of the
Indian reservations had not received a
satisfactory reply. They were followed by
Rev. DIR. Walker jackson, a retired chap
lain of the United States army, who took
the emiuently practical ground that what
the children of the forest chiefly need is
soap. People in the West who have
come in contact with the noble red man
will admire the reverend gentleman's can
dor and the sagacity Of his observations.
