The gloom about Alex McDonald's home
was intensely deepened, Monday morning,
by the death of their third and only child,
Jack, a promising lad of about eight summers.
The remains were laid away in Longview
cemetery, Monday afternoon. Alex and his
faithful wife have the fullest sympathy of the
entire community in the terrible loss of their
three interesting and beloved children, within
few brief weeks, bereavement beyond the
reach and efficacy of human sympathy to
console.
The B. & M. is going into the reduction
business on its own hook, and on August 18th,
next Sunday, these trains will be laid off,:
Nos. 5 and between McCook and Denver;
II and II between Kenesaw and Kearney;
I4I and I42 between Hastings and Oberlin;
IS and ID between Oxford and St. Joseph;
81 and o2 between Pacific Junction and Lin
coin; and II and 72 between Atchison and
Kansas City. The service between St. Joseph
and Oxford is reduced from double daily to
single daily. The trains between Pacific
Junction and Lincoln taken off are those leav-
ing the Junction at A. M. and leaving Lin
coin at A. NJ. There will be likely to follow
this cut a large reduction in the forces of
shops and round houses, but there will be no
reduction in the wages of those who stay.
