Dave Magner bought Mrs. S. c. Reeds
residence on north Manchester street,
this week. This is the third sale Sylves-
ter Cordial has made within the past two
months, which shows that there is some
demand for property in McCook, though
prices are prevailingly low.
Railroad circles were slightly stirred,
this week, by a report that the railroad
division was to be moved to McCook,
which of course would necessitate the
removal of quite a number of men. The
story, however, sounds exceedingly fshy
and is generally discredited.-Oxford
Standard.
Claim Agent Hanson, of the Burling-
ton, spent several days in Oxford the
past week, investigating the shortage in
the car shipments to this place. 1t ap-
pears to be no thing for a car
to be a few IONS "shy," whether from
shrinkage in the peculiar brand Of coal
or the result of a leak in the car is not
known. The matter, it is claimed, will
be made the subject of further investi-
CATION in the zeal future. 80. Hereafter
the Burlington folks propose to guard
their coal shipments as z%ealously as
though they represented so much gold
ore. Claim Agent Hanson went down
to Red Cloud Tuesday to prosecute some
parties charged with replenishing their
coal bins from the company's cars.-Ox-
ford Standard.
On the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
the other day, between Galesburg and
Mendoza. eighty miles, vas made the
fastest time ever recorded on that sys-
tenn, beating even the mile-a-minute
record between the same points several
months ago. The run was made by
the Texas flyer, with four cars,
which left Galesburg at 1904 at noon,
and arrived at the station at 1:32H.
Frank Billiard was engineer, w. L.
Main, fireman, and Scott Dewey, con-
ductor. The III was a steady one, the
speed being uniformly maintained the
whole distance. Four stops were made,
averaging two minutes each time, for
the eighty miles, seventy-cne and one
half minutes. The engine was the 512,
a class H, high-pressure engine, and of
the same type as the No. GA, which
made the previous fast run of a mile a
minute, the same distance.-Journal.

days from his extended visit in Chicago

genial Albert will bring a bonnie bride
Billy Mitchell of McCook is doing
the round house work for Jack Nef,
while the latter is absent in the eastern
part of the state, whittier he was called
by the illness of a brother Train No.
I42 On the Hastings and Oberlin, ran in
to a North Western stock train just south
of Hastings, Wednesday afternoon. The
Burlington engine was badly disabled
and a car of stock was thrown from the
track. The damage is quite expensive
but no lives were lost or train men hurt.
Somebody will probably have an early
invitation to go to McCook.. Is IT so?
rumor comes to us from what is
said to be hign official authority that the
B. & NJ. have purchased the K. c. & O..
R. R. which was sold under foreclosure
proceedings, last Saturday. In connec-
ton Herewith it is also given from the
source that the company intends
building a cutoff in the spring form
switch down Methodist Creek
and into this city, where their new line
would then connect with the Oberlin
line. If this is done it will follow short
ly that this city will be a division point
of considerable Importance. The brick
round house at Red Cloud is to be torn
and rebuilt at this place and all
trains will be made up here for the east,
west, north and south. The report pub
lished elsewhere i'll this issue, of an in
on the part of the company to
abandon Oxford points strongly to this
place as the coming railroad town and
is conhrmatory of all hat is said in this
article.-Harlan County Democrat.
