new NORTHWESTERN TRAINS
Increased Passenger Service is Put
On in This State.
SECOND TRAIN OUT TO CHADRON
New Local VIII Leave Omaha Each
Afternoon, Making All stops
Between This city and
Norfolk.

The Northwestern has completed its
change in time card, which will give the
state Of Nebraska greatly increased train
service and make better connections be-
tween Omaha and the rest OF the state.
A second train will be run through as far
as Chadron, making it much more con-
venient for people living along the north
west line to travel.
The Black Hills-wyoming express will
leave Omaha at $500 p. m. instead of at 3
o'clock, and will make no stop except Ere
mont between Omaha and Norfolk. It will
make UP an hour on. the. run TO Dead
wood and will reach that point at the
same time as at present. A new local train
will leave OMAHA each afternoon at 215.
making all local stops between Omaha ana
Norfolk and connecting with all branch
line trains.
The eastbound train will leave Deadwood
at $50 p. m, instead of at 6 O'Clock and will
arrive in, Omaha at $50 p. M, the same as
at present.
A new Wyoming Omaha train leaves
Lander, Wyo., at 8 g.. m. and crosses wyo-
ming by daylight with a sleeper at Chad
ron at 500 and will arrive at Omaha at
lilo the next morning. This will give
double daily service between Omaha ana
all Wyoming points.
Another new eastbound train leaves Long
Pine at 1890 noon and arrives at Omaha
at 1880 p. M, connecting at Norfolk with
a through train from the Rosebud country.
leaving Dallas at 1850 a, m. This will make
two trains a day between Omaha and Dali
las and three trains each way between
Omaha and Long Pine.
Another new train leaves Norfolk daily at
1880, thus giving daylight service to Chad
ron. In addition to the double daily ser
vice between Lincoln and Fremont a motor
train has been added, leaving Fremont at
7:lO a. m. and leaving Lincoln at 4:45 p. m.
These changes greatly increase the North

How He Lost His Job.

Mr.. Nossitt," said the new man,
who had been engaged as a literary
adviser in the publicity department Of
the railway, "it seems to me that when
we designate a man as Travelling
Passenger Agent we are Pathological,
at the least"
I'VE are what?" asked the superior.
Pathological. What does a tray
cling passenger agent do?"
He goes around and gets people to
ride over our lines, of course"
Yes. He gets passengers. Why
call him a travelling passenger agent?
OF a necessity, a passenger must be
a travelling passenger"
"How's that""
Il say a passenger must be trav-
cling one or he isn't any good to us
in fact. he cannot be a passenger
at all. A passenger is some one who
travels. The statement that we send
out an agent to get travelling passen-
gers is absurd on the face of it,
and
you may convert yourself into a
travelling passenger to the street, with
a stop-over at the cashiers Office long
enough to get what is due you to
date" snorted the superior, whirling
back to his desk.

A BAD COMBINATION
Lighted Cigarette and Celluloid Comb
Start a Fire.

A lighted cigarette and n celluloid
comb caused a variety OF trouble
about seven o'clock Tuesday evening
at the home of Ernest e. Parker, No.
III North C street, owned by John
Higlin. The combination caused an
alarm of fire to be turned in.
A young man who is a boarder at
the Parker home laid lighted cigar
cite on celluloid comb that was ly-
ing on a dresser. The comb took fire
as the lighted end OF the cigarette
came in contact with it. The young
man did not see the fire as he went
out almost as soon as he had entered
the room. The other occupants of the
house we're frightened by the dense
smoke that resulted, and, sending in
a phone call for the department, hur-
Iried from the building, not stopping
to investigate the locality of the fire.
The fire company made wonderfully
quick response to the call, getting to
the place inside of three minutes after
the alarm was turned in and making
a run OF six blocks. They found plen-
ty OF smoke and fumes and soon locat-
ed the cause. The comb was burned
and the ashes of the cigarette gave
the evidence OF the cause of the trou-
BILE. Some damage was caused to the
dresser and the covering. but aside
from this trivial loss no damage was
caused.
