sALUTING KATEsHELL
Incident of Fast Mail Run on
Northwestern Conductor
Paine's Lantern.

NOItIlWcStcfu - CONDUCTOR
Paine's Lantern.
Thrilling stories are not the on
ly kind told of the furious dash of
the Northwestern fast mail on it's
initial trip from Chicago to Oma-
ha last Monday night, for one of
pathos and sentiment is now be-
ing related among the trainmen.
1t is of Conductor Free Paine,
who took the train at Boone. As
his fiercely roaring train flew over
Honey creek, near the Des Moines
river, he stood at the door of car
and waved his lantern toward a
farm house on nearby hill, and
the memories of other days came
back to him as he saw the answer
ing light in that house disappears
ing in the distance.
It was the home Of Kate Shell.
ley.
Nearly a score of years ago, one
dark and stormy night, flood
carried away the bridge over
Honey creek. Kate Shelley, then
a little school girl of Is years,
looked out from her home upon
the storm, and saw the creek now
"a roaring river, and no bridge.
Knowing that twenty miles to the
west passenger train was bear
ing down upon that torrent-flled
abyss, she at once started toward
the little station of Scranton to
give warning. With only Ian
tern, she arrived at the trestle
bridge crossing the Des Moines
river, and ere the light could be
of any service to her, it was blown
out. So, on her hands and knees,
in the storm and wind, she crossed
the bridge over the rushing river,
and arrived at Scranton just in
time to intercept the train.
Free Paine was the conductor of
that train, and as once again. he
was speeding across the country
on a wild night ride, he saluted
the little girl, now woman, who
saved his life at Honey creek near
ly twenty years ago.--W World

Fast Mail Racing

Fast mail fights are getting
down to business basis now,
each road, the Burlington and
Northwestern, averring that it is
trying to keep rs close to the time
card as possible. The Northwest
ern arrived three minutes ahead,
and the Burlington eight minutes
ahead Of their time cards this
morning, neither road suffering q
mishap.
While the Burlington has not
made such fast time as the North
western, the Burlington points q
long index finger toward the fact
that one minute is the sum total
of the variance in the time of ar
rival for four consecutive morn
ings. 1t is the policy Of the Bur-
lington in making upits time cards
to allow plenty of time at the very
last end to make up for time that
may have been lost earlier. So it
is that ten minutes is allowed in
running from the Council Bluffs
city station to the union transfer,
a distance of two miles. But the
train has been on time within one
minute every morning at the city
station, train crews having positive
instructions not to run ahead to
that place. Since the run to the
transfer has been made in two
minutes, the Burlington has kept
close to it's pace of arriving eight
minutes early.-World- Herald.
Dunlap is to have republican
postmaster as soon as the official

evening on receipt of a telegram
from Congressman Hager, an

soldier and blacksmith, had been

trust that his administration of

public favor. Mrs. Pearl Brady,

A Series Of Parties.

The crowd of young folks, where
the boys without any hesitancy
entertain the girls and the girls
who entertain the boys and again
it is repeated, seems to be the
only crowd of our little city who
are enjoying themselves this sea-
son. Last evening the boys enter
tanned again the young ladies at
the home of Ross Mclaughlin on
3rd street, which made the third
evening to be we'll remembered.
The first part of the evening was
nassed in playing crokinole, and
when that grew tiresome they
were ansusingly entertained by
shadow pictures which wee quite
unique and fascinating. The sur
gical operation was @ success
among many others, but the skirt
dance captured the admiration of
its spectators. At the close of the
evening refreshments were served
and the girls returned home we'll
satisfied chat the boys were royal
entertainers.
