First Double Track.

A new epoch in railway history
was reached yesterday when the
Chicago & Northwestern railway
laid the last rail of its double
track between this city and Chi
caso, thus completing the first
double tracked line between these
two points. The work of double
tracking was begun twenty years
ago and has slowly but surely adj
vanced until the last rail was laid
yesterday that closed the final gap
near Denison. Trains will not
be run over this portion of the
new track, however, much before
May l5 or .!.na l, as the stretch
between Nj ssonri Valley and
Denison has not get been ballast
ed. With five great trunk lines
running between Chicago and
Council Bluffs and the Great
Western working this way as rap
idly as possible, this achievement
on the part of the Northwestern
gives it considerable distinction.

Ii the new board should appoint
au expert to go over the books Of
tne county officials, their action
would be approved by the Observ-
er and by many of the people of
the county. Make the record
clear. We do not expect that any
thing will be found wrong with
any of the accounts Of the officers,
but insinuations have been made
and malevolent slurs cast by those
who know nothing but their own
Iprelldices and all these things
should be cleared up.-Logan
Observer.
The 'Logan gang" evidently
want an expert" that they can
depend upon to "discover' just
what they want discovered and
overlook anything that they don't
want "discovered.' Brooks Reed
is known as one Of the most ex-
pert accountants in the state, and
would make thorough examina-
ton of The books of the county

them, but that is just what the
Logan crowd DON'T want. They
want an expert of their own selec-

an account OF some Of those v-ho are

where, before now, she has entertained in
very charming manner.
Although Consuelo, Duchess OF Man
chester, cannot be styled a great hostess
in the usual sense Of the word. yet she
has given so many small smart dinner
parties that she must certainly be reck-
oned with for considerable amount Of
entertaining.
Lady NayloT- Leland is likely 10 have a
lions share among the hOstesses, from
the American point Of view
she possesses gorgeous house, with
wonderful reception rooms, and is gen
orally honored with the presence Of roy
atty.
She is to give a big ball IN the height
Of the season
Lady Duferin. who will. OF course not
shine in the entertaining world this year,
is very anxious 10 dispose Of her house II

Although Lady Craven may not come 70
the front as a hostess. her mother, Mrs.
Bradley Martin. is sure 20 do so at the
beautiful house they have in Chesterfield

Mrs Arthur Paget is likely TO give sew
eral royal dinners and lunches, for she
