Clerk Hemingway and several other
members of Troop II were present, and
the party served as a welcome home
for all the boys.
Many friends attended the dance, and

entirely an i~mpromptu affair and was

Captain Davis and his gallant soldier

BURLINGTON'S FAST MAIL.

The fast mail, which is to be put on
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy.
January l, ard Of which there is much
talk all along the line, will be drawn by
W locomotives ordered from the Bald
win works. These will be of a pettern
unlike anything now in Use on the road,
and known as the Atlantic style. They
will be compound engines, large and
very powerful. Each will have four
drive wheels, as large as those of the
famous $50, which made such phenome-
nal trips a rear or two ago. The loco
motives, however, will be larger even
than the $50. In addition, all the class
A passenger engines have been put in
excellent condition, and several Of these

mogul engines are in process of con

trains time from Chicago to G~alesburg

FROM TO A

Washington, D. c., Dec. 26.-Second
Assistant Postmaster General Shallen-
berger and Captain White, general
superintendent of the railway mail SER
vice, have succeeded in arranging for a
general change in the t~ranscontine entail
mail service which will be of great
benefit to all points between Boston
and New York on the east and San
Francisco, Portland and all points on
the Pacific coast on the west. The time
of the fast mail leaving New York at 9
a. IN. on the New York Central rcad
will be shortened three and a half hours
between New York and Chicago, arriy-
ing at the latter point at $50 p. m, in
stead of u midnight, as now. Close
connections will be made at Buffalo. so
that mail which o arrives in Detroit
at 6:2O p. m. will arrive at about / D.
m, insuring its delivery at nearly all
points in southern Michigan the day of
arrival in Detroit.
From Chicago fast trains will leave
for Milwaukee, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Omaha. Mail heretofore reaching
st. Paul at l p. m. and Minneapolis at
lao p. m. will arrive at about s a. m.
ard $40 a. m, respectively. The over
land trains now leaving at 100 p. m.
will change so as to leave about $50
a M, thus effecting a material gain
throughout Minnesota and expediting
the mail all the way through to the
coast, involving Helena, Mont; Spo-
kane and Seattle, Wash, and the entire
northwestern coast.
Mail now arriving in Omaha at
2:4O p. m. will arrive at that point at
about s a. m. and will connect with the
Union Pacific Overland train, leaving
Omaha in the morning over the Union
Pacific railroad, instead OF the one leav-
ing on h same line in the afternoon,
thus effecting a gain in transit of from
ten to thirteen hours at points be-
tween Omaha and San Francisco, ar
irving at S:45 p. m, instead OF $40 a.
m, the following day, as at present.
Nearly the entire state of California
will receive this mail practically for
business purposes about twenty-four
hours earlier than it does at present.
The Oregon Short Line, running from
Green River, Wyo., to Portland, Ore,
will schedule its train so as to connect
with the fast mail, thus reaching Port
land at $3.50 p. M, instead of 1920 the
following morning. These changes
win affect the entire Pacific coast as
we'll as all intermediate points, New
York to Chicago.
In e~ast-bound mails there will be a
corresponding gain. Mails from the
west via Omaha, now arriving at Chi
cago at 6:45 a. NJ, will arrive at 2:30
a. m, and mails now arriving from st.
Paul and Minneapolis at I a. m. will
arrive at 2 a. m, connecting the fast
mail trains on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern, the Pennsylvania,
the Illinois Central and the Monon,
leaving Chicago at 2:30 and 8 a. m.
Mails from the west now arriving in
New York at 1926 a. m. will reach
that city at 5:35 a. M, in time for the
first carriers delivery. The Boston
mail, which now reaches that city at
ON u-,11 rr,, nj 100 W
There will be a corresponding gain for
nearly all eastern points. The con-

IRELAND AT PEACE CONGRESS

IRELAND AT PEACE CONGRESS.
Washington, Dec. Eft is reported
that Archbishop Ireland has been Sc
lected by President Mckinley to rep
resent the United States at the cars
peace congress. Whether he will be
the only delegate or whether four or
five will be sem is not yet decided.
The archbishop has consented to
serve conditional on the sanction of
the pope. The appointment of the
archbishop is regarded as a manifesto
ton of the regard of the president for
the prelate and for his republicanism,
which took form in strong interviews
and speeches made during the campaign
of 1896.

fasc mail train which the Burlington
will put on the road on January 1.
The Burlington's new train will leave
Chicago at $3.50 p. m. and the North
western will pull out a half hour later.
The Burlington will arrive in Council
Bluffs at 1850 a. m. or twenty-five min
utes earlier than the Northwestern's
new train. The difference in running
time amounts to five minutes in favor
of the Northwestern. Both trains will
arrive here in time to connect with the
west-bound Overland Limited" train
Of the Union Pacific. The through over
land mail will be carried, for a while at
least, by the Burlington. and will be
turned YER to the Union Pacific as at
present. The Northwestern's new train
will bring westward any mail that
into Chicago from the east or
through the Chicago postoffice in the
half hour following the departure of
the Burlington fast mail at $50 p. m.
The Northwestern's new train will also
carry mail from Chicago to local points
on its line ard from local points to
Omaha and the west. Whether this
train will be continued in service mere
ly for the local mail it will handle.
should the Burlington haul the over
land mail, is a mooted question. 1t is
admitted that the two new trains will
be the fastest for a 5OO-mile stretch in
the United States and the expense and
risk of running them is such as would
be undertaken only for big stakes

Queer Marriage Resulting from a Pecu-
liar Will.
Here is story told without saying
whether it is fact or fiction: Hawkins
was an eccentric old man, and in his
will it was found that he had made his
youngest son, Henry, his sole heir, on
condition that he should marry within
two years. 1t was a surprise to the
community, as Henry was a worthless
fellow and rarely on friendly terms
with his father. Henry at once be-
came the topic of conversation. Ev
erybOdy was wondering what mystery
would develop from such an odd be-
stories afiOat to the effect that Haw
kins was a niser and had left bundles
of money hidden in odd corners of his
rickety old shanty that had become
the sole property of his son. Henry's
name soon drifted into the papers all
over the country. AS a result. bush
els of letters from manageable wom-
Ell and wild-visiOned girls came to him
in the form OF proposals. On the last
day of the allotted two years Henry
Hawkins and Belinda Scenes stood in
the registry office, where it was ar
ranged the ceremony should be per-
formed quietly. IF | could only feel
