COLBY BAND CONCERT.
Good Music Rendered at Opera House by
Well Drilled Players.

Poverty and good band music never
exist together in the same place. That
was proved last Friday night in Good
land when the Colby Military band, by
invitation, gave a concert in the opera
house for a per cent of the receipts, and
to get home the next morning the band
boys had to go down their pockets to
the extent of soto cover their expenses.
But the Colby men had the money, and
there is where the prosperity idea comes
IN.
Goodland people may Justly be
ashamed of themselves for their unwar-
ranted slim patronage of a band that
does not offend but Pleases a musical
ear. A dance followed the concert, and
rather than pay the concert price of IS
cents, some strOlled up and down the
sidewalk or stood by the door and win
dow, and thus sponged their way until
the dance begun.
The men of the Colby band made a
good appearance in their uniforms of
blue coats, tan pantaloOns and military
caps. Before the concert, they played
a few quicksteps on the streets. In the
pera house the best performance was
in playing the overture Criterion" II

Sept % at Methodist Church.
Judge ". D. Webb, of Atchison,
Kan, well known as an able jurist, and
concerning whom goes out words Of
praise from the various chautauquas
and cities of the west, where he has de-
livered his masterful lecture, ''The

Webb is on his way east and stops in
Goodland because It is convenient as he
lectures the two succeeding days in
Phillipsburg and Smith Center.
Concerning the character of Judge
Webb and his ability as a lecturer, the
Morrill, News says:
The subject, 1.-THE Trial of Jesus
Christ, was most ably handled. It
was presented from a lawyers point of
view. Never before had a Morrill, audi
ence been made to see the injustice, the
mOnstrOus cruelty and inhumanity that
characterized the so-called trial Of our
Lord Jesus Christ; while the meekness,
beauty of character, and godlikeness of
Him who died for US, was held up so
wildly that every heart bowed IN loving
reverence and humility to the Savior of
the world. Judge Webb has for over
20 years been considered one of the
ablest lawyers of Kansas. Better than
all, is his fine christian character, which
has shone through ali his wide practice.
The people Of this community feel that
they have had a rare feast in Judge

Indiana where he was born in 1889. In
his boyhOOd and young manhood he
was Injured to the hardships and depri-
vations of frontier life. Being of a very
studious turn of mind, he laid hold Of
every opportunity to acquire knowledge,
and IN the long winter evenings he
studied, not by lamp light nor even a
''tallow Dip" this being too expensive,
but by a hickOr-bark fire and a pine
knot torch as he sat by the fireplace in
his log cabin home, and thus acquired
the rudiments of an education. These
habits of study and close observation he
has followed all his life until he has be

At the time of the breaking out of the
civil war he was in Washington, D. C,

ROCK ISLAND SHOPS OPEN
KKE BEING PUT 10 WORK AS FAST As
COMPANY CAN MAKE PLACE.
Two Engines Left Half-Finished Being
Completed, aid After This, It Is Be
HsTed That Light Repair WIZ
Be Done FOR the Present.


The most welcome sound that the
people of Goodland have heard for some
time was the familiar blast Of the Rock
Island shops whistle Friday morning,
which called the employees, who were
laid of August 10 by the closing of the
shops, to come back to work. The men
still here reported, and they were put
to work IN their old places. The entire
shutting down put things in the shops
more OF less out of joint, and it takes a
little time to prohtabIy find uitches for
every man.
Repair work on two engines left IN
finished was Immediately begun. When
they are completed, It is not absolutely
known here what will be done, but
many think that the operation of the
shops will continue, but viii handle on
ly light repair. Just now engines are
being sent to the Moline shops for a
thorough overhaul. There is no ques-
ton but that the GOOdland shops could
be worked to their full capacity in keep
ing the rolling stock in proper condi-
ton, but the argument for sending them
east is urged almost wholly on economic
grounds.
It is, however, an open question
whether this economy will be in the
long run economic. That the Moline
shops can handle IS per cent of the
Rock Islands work, as is reported, is
questionable. They will have to eat
this pudding to prove it. The geo.
graphical location of GOodland, the
shops already here, and their capacity
to keep in repair the rolling stock on the
entire Colorado division, are economic
facts to be reckoned with.
Besides this, GoOdland was here be-
fore the Rock Island came. The town
and county was bonded to the c. K. &
n. railway for S42, 900, upon the prom
Use to establish and maintain both the
shops and the division station here.
The Rock Island forecIosed on the {.
K. & n. and the subscription to stock
for which the S42, 900 in bonds was IS
sued went with the road as, practically,
a donation to the Rock Island, which as
the successor of the former road is NOR
aIlv bound to fulfill this promise. One
year ago the Rock Island, by its head
officials, urged the people of GOOdland
to build so houses, upon the promise of
charging the shops. Upwards OF 50
busineSsehouses and dwellings have been
erected. We can hardly believe that
the Rock Island will violate its pledge.

FAST TRAIN IN CRASH.
Chicago Limited Struck in Yards at
Philadelphia -SeUeraI Hurt.

Philadelphia. Dec. 19.-The Chicago Limited
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, leaving New
York at > p. m. and Philadelphia at 1903 was
run into by local passenger train tonight IN
the railroad yards at Forty-fourth-st. and Cir
ard-ave this city, and several persons were in
jured Among those hurt are II, lie Basttan, Of
Detroit Mich who received slight decorations
Of the head, and L. NJ. Beamer, of New-York
City who sustained two broken ribs.
The fourth and fifth coaches of the limited,
both sleeping cars, were overturned. The other
coaches did not leave the tracks. That the ac-
cident was not more serious was due to the fact
that at the time the wreck occurred most
of the passengers travelling IN the fourth and
fifth cars were in the dining car, which was the
third coach of the train.
The accident was due to a switch falling to
work which caused the engine of the local train
to cross over to the westbound track and strike
the third and fourth coaches. The overturned
coaches caught fire from a lamp on the front OF
the engine but the few imprisoned passengers
were rescued before the flames had gained much
headway. After hours delay the limited
was started West with all its passengers with
the exception of lie Bastian and Beamer
