A Pleasant Time at McCook.

lCOMMUNlCAIED.l
On account of the washout on this di-
vision, quite a jolly crowd was held here,
last Saturday. After being served brak-
fast and dinner, a pleasant afternoon
was spent in outdoor sports such as base
ball, foot racing, jumping, etc. The
day was brought to a close by %partaking
of a banquet which had been arranged
by a voted committee, for which they
paid the jolly land lady n dollar per
plate. In spite of the washout and their
several days delayed journey, they left
McCook with a feeling of warmest re
gard for the B. &. NJ. Eating house, and
a vote of thanks to the land lady. Some

A Possible Chief Engineer.

The following paragraph from remarks
made by Elk Chief Engineer Wallace OF
the Panama canal touching W. E. Dau-
chy, formerly roadmaster of the Wes-
tern division, will be appreciated by Mr..
Dauchy's friends here, who admired
him as a man and an engineer of high
accomplishments. That he should be-
come the chief engineer of the canal and
be the successful head of the greatest
enterprise of modern or ancient times
would be no startling surprise to those
who knew him here:
'Mr. w. E. Dauchy, a gentleman OF
high engineering attachments, who has
been chief engineer of the Chicago,
|! Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and who had occupied the posi-
ton of division engineer in charge OF
the Culebra division, was, upon my
leaving the isthmus, placed in charge o.
the work as acting chief engineer, he
having occupied a similar position dur
ing my absence from the isthmus at the
call of the Secretary during the month
of April and having satisfactorily con
Quoted the work through the democrat
~ization attendant upon the change in or

Since Friday of'last week the Burling-
ton has had the greatest disarrangement
of service on the McCook division ever
experienced since the road was pushed
through to Denver In 1882. And at this
time. distance the work of the floods is
still felt.
AS to the main line the storm-center
was between Holbrook and Arapahoe,
lust east Of Holbrook where the Deer
creek crosses the track and meanders on
to empty into the Republican river. At
this point on last Friday night late after
the passage of No. 5, there was an IN
precedented food, which carried away
a number of hundred feet of grade to a
depth of many feet. All the rest of the
night, next day and on into the night a
flood of water rushed Owe the track
Late Saturday night, after No. IL had
passed over and escaped by a scratch,
another food of even greater volume
came down from Deer creek and undlo
everything accomplished up to thai
time in the way of cribbing etc. anc
washed away additional feet of grade
Then followed for many hours a grea'
rush of water through the openings il
the grade and over the grade at places
covering about two miles in extent
Nothing was accomplished in the way o
repairs, Saturday night or Sunday, ant
it was Monday morning before any sor
of communication was established acros
the washouts at this place. Since MOI
day, however, traffic has been resumed
all trains being late and passage OF Tn
washouts being very slow. Sunda,
trains from the west delayed at tn

Nos. /, and 6 Become Limited.

Information reached Lincoln, last Fri
day, that Burlington Nos. l and 6 will
soon be made limited trains. In fact
some of the features attendant on linn
tied trains have already been introduced
and others will follow. New equipment
has been secured and will be placed IN
service as rapidly as possible, beginning
Saturday. Cars are to be electric light
ed and new equipment that will lit such
trains is to be distributed along the run
from Chicago to Denver for use IN en-
erpencies. The first electric train pass
ed through this city, Saturday morning,
and following that the new trains will
be added until enough equipment is IN
service to complete the circulation be-
tween Denver and Chicago. Electric
generators and engines will be carried in
the baggage cars. Speaking of speed, a
Burlington man calls attention to the
run of No. l between the Missouri river
and Lincoln, where the speed run is not
far from fifty miles an hour. This train
does not come through Omaha, reaching
Lincoln over the Louisville line. No. D
is the fastest eastbound train in the
state west of McCook, and maintains a
tight schedule east of that place.-Lln-

THE BURLINGTON HARD HIT
Storm Center Between Holbrook and Arapaf1oe
on the rlain Line.
BRANCHES ALSO SEVERELY DArAGE
Miles of Roadbed Washed Away--A Number of Bridges and Approaches III M
Total--Branch Traffic Entirely Suspended.

washouts were sent back west TO Brush,
Colorado. and thence over the Alliance
line to the east. Trains from the east
delayed on the east side of the washouts
were sent west over the Alliance division
until repairs Of a temporary sort were
made, Monday.
But this was only a part of the COM
pany's trouble. Between Farnam and
haywood on the -Holdrege
line about six miles of grade was washed
away and traffic on the line has been alb
solutely suspended, and up to this time
has not been resumed.
On the Orleans-St. Francis branch IN
the neighborhood of Hollinger and
Beaver City were large washouts, both
bridges, Nos. 5 and 6, on each side OF
Hollinger were washed away. At other
points minor washouts occurred, and no
effort has been seriously attempted to
resume on this branch.
At Garter neal Orleans on the Kansas
City main line is another big washout,
and trains from the southeast have been
run about by Hastings, pending repairs
which must be extensive at this point.
In fact everything has been side-track-
ed for the main line Chicago-Denver re
pairs, to open which the opening of the
Epworth League rush to Denver made
imperative to save an large and add,
tional loss in passenger traffic.
1t is within bounds to state that the
territory within what is known now as
the McCook division of the Burlington
has never before been so hard hit anc
the aggregate loss to track, traffic, per
ishable goods, ETC., will be something
immense.

Bucklin Is Asked for Co-opera-
ton on New Road.
NEW ROUND HOUSE THERE
Dodge will be Visited Soon by
Same People to Discuss
Plans.

The Medicine Lodge railroad promoters
who have taken out a charter to build q
road from Medicine Lodge to Colorado
passing through Ford county held a
meeting with the Buckln people yester-
day, and expect to be in Dodge City on
a similar mission In week or two.
The talk at Bucklin has been that the
road will be built west from BuckIin on
the township line touching Ford, Sod
vile, Bloom, Concord and Wilburn
townships.
They have a proposition to offer Buck
lin to build there twenty-five stall
round house. They want from $4,000
to SIS, 900 bonds In Bucklin township to
cover 100 acres Of land and other division
improvements. Bucklin will send a
committee to Anthony next Monday to
call the railroad builders hand and to
find just what they want and how much
it will cost. The Bucklin people are 60.
ing about things In careful, business
like manner, and while they will be
cautious about making any mistakes they
will be on the alert for any advantage
they can gain for the town by securing a
new road. The time asked to complete
the road, ii is understood, is two years.
The railroad people claim they are
also considering the matter of running
over the Rock Island road from Bncklin
to Dodge City and then southwest over
the old Montezuma grade, and In ad-
dition to this extending line from
Dodge City to the northwest.
The road would seem to be Rock
Island project, and II 1t is, the plan fay
ored most will be to 60 directly west
from Bucklln. But 1t is quite probable
that even should this be done, part Of
the plan will be to extend the Dodge City
branch already here, from this point TO
the northwest.
Dodge City has been slow about get.
ting posted on the plans of the proposed
road. There seems to be II strong prob
ability that the line from Medicine
Lodge will be built. The projectors
have been in Haskell, Morton and other
western counties trying to secure right
Of way.
The matter ought to have been inves-
tigated by Dodge City long ago on the
grounds that no chance should be over
looked. II the road Is Rock Island
project there would be little chance of
changing any Of their plans, but 1t pays
a town TO know these things.
The Globe-republican., 1905-05-04

musically, and the funnyisms of the end
men made very decided hits with the
audience. In the second part the violin
solo by Ralph Miller and the cornet and
trombone duet by Merritt and Otero Bee
son were excellent features, and the two
quartets were well received. French and
Krebs' turn was a good showln itself and
received many compliments. The bur-
lesque sextette was one of the decided
hits of the evening.
There were two men from out of town
who deserve especial credit for their
part in the show. One was Mr. Will
Hunt, the splendid singer who kindly
contributed to the second part. His
"Toreadore' was one of the best things
ever heard in Dodge City, aud added to
the effect of his splendid singing, the
accompaniment played by Mrs. He'll
warth made the song particularly ar
tistic performance.
Mr.. Lamborn Of Hutchinson who acted
as an end man in the first part and sang
In the second, is one of the most popular
men who has ever appeared ON the stage
in Kansas. ANY show that he Is In is a
success, and his kindness In lending his
ability TO the minstrel is certainly highly
appreciated by Dodge City. Mr.. Lam
born is the star of every performance he
appears in, and is royal good fellow
besides. His appearance here gIves him
several hundred more friedds and adj
mirers in Dodge City.
The show as a drawing card has the
house record for the season and other
seasons. The "rush tor seats" proved to
be well founded warning. Every
thing sold the first night and the second
night was repetition of the first.
The complete sale Of tickets amounted
to $3.50. 90 and when the house rent and
all expenses are paid there will be up
wards of $3.50 90 left, which will be
nice addition to the library fund. The
expenses were kept down to the mini
mum, and are at least hundred dollars
below the ordinary expenses OF putting
on such performance. Many who were
in the show paid some Of their expenses
out Of their own pockets, and every per-
son named above 10 the list which made
up the company is deserving of a whole
lot Of credit for the hard work done in
securing this nice fund for the library.
and for giving an entertainment which
was more than worth the ticket price,
and which was enjoyed hugely by every
lone who attended.

Home Talent Performance Made
Big Hit and Drew Large Crowd.
The home talent minstrel show given
on last Fridayand Saturday nights was
In every wsy the most successful ''bene-

was due, not so much to lite being given
in such worthy cause. as to the selection
of the performers. AS foundation
Judge Madison, L. q. Grobety, DR.. OH.
Simpson, L, J. Pettijohn, Sam Wilkinson
and Dill Lamborn consented to act as end
men and i. A. Madison as interlocutor.
These gentlemen freely and Cheerfully
offered to undertake the necessary work
in the interest Of the public library bsne-
fit. Then d chorus was picked out from
among the best singers In town, and not
single one refused to contribute his help
in the undertaking. After this Mr..
Beeson and his excellcnt orchestra was
called Upon and this organization showed

ly secured, and It was picked from
dozen different eastern publishing houses.
1t Is quite an undertaking to even get
such company" together, but the real
work comes when the drilling for the
performance begins, and heavy part Of
the work and responsibility falls upon
the musical director. Mr.. Merritt Beeson
who acted as director showed marked
aptitude and ability. 1t was his first
attempt but from the start he proved
himself equal to the requirements, aud
his work In the Iehearsals elbows that
Dodge City has produced one of the best
musical directors OF Kansas.
Some Of the hardest work done In pre-
pairing the show was done by number
Of the ladies of Dodge City, who, while
they did not appear upon the stage, were
never the less contributing quite as much
work toward the success Of the entertain
ment. The suits worn In the first part of
the minstrel excepting the $500 dress suit
worn by the distinguished and fatally
handsome Interloeutor, Mr.. Lewis Apollo
Madison, were made by these ladies, and
by doing this work the ladies not only
helped TO make very pretty stage
setting, but saved good many dollars
to the library fund.
The work of the end men, soloists,
chorus and In fact of every one in any
way in the cast was very creditable.
Nearly every one in Dodge City saw the
performance and every one who attended
