snver to GlenwOOd on Monday, and on
Tuesday were anxious to get home to
vote. There were no regular trains
running, owing to washouts at Star
buck and Westport. The Judge started
TO walk, but Joe thought it a little too
far for an amateur pedestrian. A little
later a locomotive came over the road
from the west on its way to the West
port cut. and Joe boarded it. A.couple
of miles out of Glenwood the Judge
was overtaken, and he very gladly
climbed into the engine, which brought
them to Willard. They struck out on
foot for Westport, walking the distance
and crossing the washOut on piles.
They arrived there tired and hungry,
long after dinner time, and concluded,
after getting something to eat, that it
was unhealthy to take violent exercise
after SO hearty a meal, and they re-
manned until the break was repaired,
and arrived home by train just before
midnight. They didn't vote.
Plodding on with limbs all aching

Ad Dunlap and J. G. Lovaas have
Invented a simple and ingenius time
saving device for unsealing freight
ears. It may not be generally known
that every freight car fastening is
sealed with narrow strip of tin, Sc
cured with a leaden button swedged SO
as to lock the seal. A car cannot be
opened without breaking the seal, and
an exact record is kept of the number
OF every seal attached and broken.
This is to prevent tampering with the
contents of the car. To break this
seal takes valuable time. A heavy
bladed knife or peice of iron is re-
auired to cut or tear the seal, and they
are not always at hand. The device
patented by Messrs. Dunlap and Low
aas is the pin which holds the hasp,
which has an ingenious cutting appli-
ance which can be operated instantly.
A patent has been applied for.
A train load of 14O0 Dunkards passed
through this city for points on the
Great Northern road on Thursday
night last. There were twenty-six cars
on the train, drawn by two mammoth
1ocomotives-the largest passenger
train of record on the line. They will
go to points in North Dakota, where
they will colonize. The Dunkards are
strict religionists, with many of the
pecuiarities of the Quakers. They
are frugal, Industrious, honest, tenn
perate.. opposed to legislation, and in
elined to be exclusive. They are
from Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
illinois. and are fairly well provided
with equipment for agricultural pur-
moses. Two train loads of stock inn
plements, household goods, etc. fol-
lowed the passenger train.
