with Ebenezer.
Aunt 'Cinda's very soul hankered
for a new carpet, and the old cord bed

'wrathful at the mere mention of her

said she.
Two weeks later Uncle Eben moved
his belongings to Melinda's. He had
installed her in the house opposite the
home place-which Aunt 'Cinda was
to retain.

Lincoln Journal: More than two
hundred miles of railroad will be adj
led to the Lincoln traffic division OF
the Burlington by an order effective
today. The order adds the line from
Ashland to Sioux City and the line
from Sioux City to O'Neill to the ter
ritory now looked after by Division
freight Agent J. ]. Cox Of this city.
This order also abolishc5 the Office
of division freight agent at Sioux City,
heretofore held by II, S. Jones. Mr.
Jones represented the Great Northern
road at Sioux City, as well as the Bur
,ingion, and while no definite inform9-
,inn is at hand concerning this mat
ter il IS supposed that Mr.. Jones will
continue with the Great Northern.
it Is said to be desirable on the
art of the Burlington to manage traf-
Sc matters on these lines from Lin
coin, because the lines are operated
from Lincoln. This move, also, may
ne taken as an indication that the
Lincoln operating division will con
tinue to look after the operation Of
the Ashland operating division, which
includes the Ashland-SiouX City and
the Sioux City-O'Neill lines. There
has been talk of a division Of the Lin.
coin operating division, which com,
prises about one thousand miles Of
railroad, making division of the lines
east of Ashland and north of Ashland.
This, perhaps, will not follow until
another rush of business and building
comes.
The Lincoln traffic division now
comprises the line from Nebraska
City to Tecumseh and Lincoln, and
the main line from Lincoln to Kear-
ney, with mileage north Of these
lines reaching as far west as north of
Sidney, 10 Guernsey, Wyo., and 10
Edgcmont, S. ID. This comprises in
all 100 miles or more of railroad.
