California and coast rates are liable to

The Canadian Pacific has already cut

Twin daughters were born to Mr.. and

postal run on the Imperial branch, but
makes his headquarters in the afore-
mentioned city.-Oxford Standard.
Two of Walter Godfrey's little chill
dren came very near climbing the golden
stairs, few days since, by drinking half
the contents of a bottle of Railroad
cough medicine, which doubtless con-
tairs opium.
The east bound B. & NJ. passenger
train from Denver to Kansas City struck
an old man who was driving team across
the track, just west of Bloomington, Neb.,
last Tuesday. The man received injuries
from which it was thought he would die
before medical assistance could be OBJ
tained.-Oberlin Opinion.
Regular railway mail service has been
authorized on the B. & M line, between
Edgemont, S. D., and Sheridan, Wyo., to
begin November 18th. F. M. Moore and
H. H. Alden have been transferred from
the Pacific Junction and McCook route
to the new route, and they will be sue
ceeded by F. L. Keller and w. J. Giles
pie on the Pacific Junction line.
On application of the federal govern
ment the United States district court at
Omaha, Monday morning, appointed J.
w. Doane of Chicago and F. r. Condert
OF New York additional receivers of the
Union Pacific railroad, without opposi-
ton. The petition sets forth that the
claims of the government against the
road entitle it to larger representation
among the receivers.
A rather fascinating railway project
has been broached in connection with
the immense power coming to waste in
the Niagara river. 1t is proposed to run
electric cars from New York to Chicago
at the rate of 100 miles an hour, power
to be generated in the most picturesque
way imaginable. At Buffalo the road is
to cross the Niagara river on a great
bridge, and the electric current is to orig.
mate at monster steel water wheels under
the bridge, moved by the current of the
river. It is figured that the bridge will
furnish power enough for the whole line
and leave a neat surplus to SELL
1t IS safe to say that at no time since
the construction of the Kenesaw cutoff
some eight or nine years ago, has the
railway service at this place been so mis-
cradle and unsatisfactory as at present
With four trains discontinued, the past
several months, there are now but two
passenger trains each way daily on the
| main line and but one between Oxford
and Kansas City. In the face of this re-
duction it is intimated that even furthe,
retrenchment will be made. In view ot
the fact that both passenger and fre.., hi

ton Route. There is evidently some mys
terious reason best known to the official:
