The Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road Company will 90 back to the use
of hard coal for locomotive fuel which
| was abandoned several years ago. The
| forty new freight engines which have
been ordered. all burn the smaller sizes
of anthracite. Financial considera-

through its attorney, Fred A. Marx.
has fled exceptions TO the petition of

this city. The exceptions state that
Resolute Council is subject to the au-

the change of law is expressly pro-

j II. Sober, of Shelton, Neb., a
native of this city, after pleasant
visit among relatives and friends at
the old homestead, returned to 'the
land OF the setting sun" on Saturday
last. Judd emigraied west a long

cumulaled snug fortune. becoming
possessor of a large ranch, which is
stocked with fine blooded horses,
sheep and cattle. We congratulate
our young friend on his success as a
"rancher," and trust he may live
long and enjoy the fruits of his busy
life.

every day in the year, except Sunday,
