Port Electric Mails.

By the present arrangement for mail
transportation from one part Of our large
cities to another, four letters can be put
into the postoffice of. say. New York.
ct the same time. One of these is ad.
dressed to Boston, another to Philadel-
phia. the third to Washington and the
fourth to an individual in Brooklyn or
the upper part Of New York city. The
person in Boston. Philadelphia or Wash
ington win be reading his letter next
morning at the same time the individual
in Brooklyn or Harlem gets his. It takes
letter as long to travel from New York
to Brooklyn as from New York to Bos-
ton
An invention has been devised to
remedy this state Of affairs and give to
large cities rapid mail transit. The
object is claimed to be accomplished by
the port electric system Of mail trans
portation. The company having the
matter in charge has been incorporated
in West Virginia. but win put the in
vention in operation first between New
York and Brooklyn. The distance be-
tween the postoffices Of these two cities
is about "a miles. and by the new sys.
tenn port electric trains can convey
mail from one to the other in from three
to five minutes. the trains being run ten
minutes apart
In this case the line win cross the
Brooklyn bridge and follow the bridge
car and elevated road tracks The line
will consist Of single rail track. The
car that passes over it win have a wheel
ut each end and guide wheel attached
to rail above. The car will look much
like huge cigar 20 feet long and 70
inches wide. When the mechanical diff
fculty Of friction is overcome, which is
the chief one in the way. according to
the claim made. this iron and lightning
letter carrier will be able to race along
its track at the rate of from 100 to 200
miles an hour.
After the New York and Brooklyn
road is tried and proved successful, then
the company viii extend its operations
first to suburban delivery, to the towns
of from ten to fifteen miles away from
great centers Of population This scheme
being shown to be practicable, the sys.
tenn will be tried FOR long distances.
Going at the tremendous rate Of speed
mentioned, it will be necessary to place
the port electric cars out Of reach Of or.
binary travel and traffic. This win be
accomplished by eleyating the track
upon line Of posts stretched along the
route Last Of all, double track lines
win Be attempted on the same plan, and
the San Francisco man may yet read a
letter that left New York the day be-
fore.

The market 0 nance will in short
time take effect for 1892. If the pro
per interest were manifested and lit
lie extra trouble taken, the tri-weekly
summer market might as well be car
ried through the entire year. We have
a good market house that stands upon
ITS foundation the year round and can
easily be arranged for winter use, and
mans need for market wares three
hundred and sixty-fve days in the
year is undisputable. Let us have a
regular market that can be depended
npon.
With our resources it is useless to
object that we have not the material
for market during the dull season;
this is, in fact, the time when it would
beofthe greatest convenience. 1t would
certainly be relief for the housekeep-
er toknow that if an article We're to be
found anywhere she could eetitat once
atthe market house, fresh, and attrac-
lively displayed.
The market is one place
where cleanliness may even rank
above godliness and to make the dis.
play at all inviting the inspector should
pay unremitting attention to this
s branch ~ he dnt,-
The competition engendered by a
reliable market would very probably,
among other things, give us better SER
vice in the way of dairy products than
we can boast at present
And why is it that while the geogra-
phies and histories of our school rooms
invariably give agriculture and stock
raising as the principle industries oi

When Charlemagne and his " knights Of
the Round Table were making war on the
saracens, in Africa, it frequently happened
that Knights on either side would fight In
sincle combat for the honor Of their re-
spective armies. The Saracens had been,
for many years, the scourge-the dreaded
invaders-of Europe, and ell waged war
against this common enemy.
But in these days the worst scourge that
threatens us, is that dread invader, Con-
sumption.
Consumption fastens its hold upon its vic
Tins whilo they are unconscious OF its ap-
proach. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has cured thousands of cases OF this
most fatal of maladies. But it must be
taken before the disease is too far advanced
in order to be effective. If taken In time,
and given a fair trial, it will cure, or money
paid for it will be refunded
For Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Short
ness of Breath, Bronchitis, Asthma, severe
Coughs, and kindred affections, it Is an une-
qualed remedy.
For all diseases that arise from torpid
liver and impure blood, nothing can take the
place of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry Nothing will, after you have seen what
It does. 1t prevents and cures by removing
the cause. It invigorates the liver, purifies
the blood, sharpens the appetite improves
digestion, and builds Up both strength and
flesh, when reduced below the standard OF
health.

HOME TO HIS PARENTS
The Remains OF Lee Peeke Sent to
C~reston. Ia, for Burial

In full uniform the local order of Red
Men of Cheyenne and the members of
the local order OF the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen met yesterday after
noon and escorted the remains of Lee
Peeke to the Union Pacific depot, where
they were placed upon the east bound
fast mail train and were soon being
rapidly whirled toward the home of the
%sorrowing parents, brothers and sisters Of
the unfortunate young man who met
death while at the post of his duty, but
whose demise was fully as tragic and
shocking as it was heroic and dutiful.
R. B. Scholey, day foreman of the
yards and with whom young Peeke was
thrown in contact daily, accompanied the
remains on their homeward pilgrimage.
At Omaha Mr.. Scholey will be met by
Edward Peeke, a Younger brother of the
dead switchman. Together they will
escort the remains of brother and friend
to Creston. La, the home of his parents.
A peculiarly melancholy and tragic his
tory is that of the Peeke family. Tie
elder Peeke, Lees father. is one of the
most highly esteemed men In his native
country. His boys (three of them) were
exceedingly agreeable fellows and made
friends with almost everybody with whom
they came in contact.
The Oldest brother. and in fact both
the others, we're very DESTROYS of becom-
ing railroad men. The older enc secured
work with the Chicago, Burlington Il
Quincy road some years ago and soon was
promoted to a fireman's position. He
had not served IN that position moro than
long enough to show of what stuff he was
made when he was killed outright in a
smashup on that road. This was eight
years ago. These facts are all the more
interesting when 1t is known that Peeke
was the fireman for Engineer Charley
Wilkinson, who now runs an engine be-
tween Cheyenne and Laramie.
Lee Peeke was the ~fayorite son of his
parents and now they are called on to
mourn his death. The younger brother
of the Peeke family had made arrange
ments to come out here next month, and
friends had already secured him a situa-
ton with Ed Kapp, but it Is probable that
the horrible and untimely death of his
brother here will cancel that arrangement.
Only a few months ago he and a friend
were working together aud by some acct
dent young Pickles. right eye was knocked
out.
1t is said hat as long as Peeke was
conscious after the accident he was per-
sistently opposed to wiring the new to
his mother. family protesting, 1T will
break my poor mothers heart!"

TOWARD
Two Railroads Said TO be Heading for
the Great Park.

OhAHhA DSNsl
From Buffalo. Wyo., comes the news
that a railroad engineering corps has sur
veyed a line west from that point through
the farm country Of the Big Horn basin
and touching the southern boundary of
the Yellowstone park.
People up in that country are speculat-
ing as to whether the Burlington or the
Midland Pacific is back of the enterprise,
but it seems that the Burlington has
picked on a more northern route.
Wyomingites are also specializing on an
an extension of the Northwestern from
Casper north into the Big Horn basin.
They assert that the Cheyenne & North
ern is to be extended in the spring from
Grin to Buffalo, a distance of 100 miles.
A route has been surveyed and the rec
or Is filed in the United Statesi land office
at Buffalo.
1t was reported that under the terms of
their compact the Union Pacific agreed
not to build north of Grin and the North
western not beyond Casper. The extern
sion of the Cheyenne II Northern, a crea-
ture of the Union Pacific, is taken as an
other evidence of the breaking Of the
compact. and it encourages the hope that
the Northwestern will build on the line
already surveyed to the Big Horn country
from Casper.

A PLACID CONDITION
Mr.. Clark Grants the Grievance
Committees Biggest Request.
He Says This Will Increase Ex-
penses $IO0, 900 Annually.
Everybody Seems to be Satisfied
Over the Decision.
Both Sides Come to Time


Special Dispatch to the Leader.
OMAHA, Feb. 25.-The Union Pacific
conductors and brakemen have won a sub
stantial victory. Their proposition for
computing overtime has been accepted.
The two grievance committees were
each represented by four, members and
the grand officer had another conference
this afternoon with Assistant General
Manager Dickinson.
1t lasted three hours. but half the time
was consumed by consultations between
Mr.. Dickinson and General Manager
Clark. AS a result OF the meeting
the Union Pacific agreed to grant the
demand that overtime be computed by
the rules that govern in the case of en-
gineers and fremen.
This was the main point at issue and 1t
is now believed all differences will be set
tied amicably. A great many grievances
are of minor importance. many of them
affecting only single districts and some
only single runs remain to be adjusted but
there promises to be no great difficulty in
reaching an agreement 90 these.
They will be taken up at another con-
ference at some future time. Mr.. Dick
inson estimated that the change by the
manner OF computing overtime would in
crease the operating expenses 800. 900 a
year.
The employees assert that as an outside
figure, based on past experience, they
think the company will also reduce it con-
siderably by moving trains with more
regularity and dispatch.
