STEEL COACHES ON U. p.
understandable Car is Being Tested
on Road.

An all-steel passenger chair car,
absolutely immune from destruction
by fire and collision, in which wood Is
an unknown quantity except in the
window frames, is being tried out by
the Union Pacific railroad. When the
St. Louise Colorado Limited pulled out
or st. Louis Wednesday it carried one
OF these coaches on it's maiden trip.
1t is expected that similar cars will
be carried by the Colorado Special
and the Chicago Special on the Union
Pacific running between Omaha and
Denver.
The new coach Is radically differ
ent from the old type chair car. Be-
sides being entirely constructed of
steel it has many innovations in the
interior finish The seats may be
raised by merely pressing a button,
doing away with the levers and other
mechanism in the old cars.
Another feature of the new coach
is the system of ventilation. The
cars are heated by the vapor system
and are brilliantly lighted by cleo
tricity and gas.
No, 13, the Grand Island local,
on the Union Pacific is carrying two
of the new steel coaches on its daily
runs, The new coaches were built for
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company, an allied road They are
being given several test runs before
being sent out to Oregon.

REGARDING Those LIGHTS.

w. J. Stadelman has issued this
statement regarding the strings of
electric lights maintained across Nor
folk avenue for use on special occa-
sions:
Norfolk, Neb., Nov ST. wish to
make the following statement in re.
gard to the strings of electric lights
on Norfolk avenue. Two years ago
thirty-two business men contributed
$3.50, a total of $20S. to defray the
expense of installing those lights. The
original cost of installation was 1925.
The current has been turned on about
forty nights. Part of the expense has
been paid by individuals or organiza-
tons using the same.
The original plan of turning the
lights on and off was for man to go
to each string, throwing a switch, and
being compelled to do this work over
when turning off the light. This made
the cost for this particular work too
great. 1t was decided to string cir.
cult connecting all the strings at a
common point, and in doing this all
that is necessary is to throw one
switch.
There Is no way or means of main.
tanning these lights other than by pub
lie subscription, So it was decided to
dispose of them to the city for the
actual amount of indebtedness, which
was $14350, and by action of the coun.
Gil the lights were purchased by the

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Fred Harris Leaves Without Known
Cause-Bore Good Reputation.


Dallas News: Tuesday night Fred
c. Harris disappeared and has not
been heard Of since by his family or
friends.
He took no money with him and
did not take any extra clothes, not
even an overcoat. No reason can be
found for his disappearance at all. He
had been employed at Won Seggern
Bros lumber yards for over year
and was counted one of the best and
steadiest hands they had. He never
lost day without informing them and
seldom took day OFF He was draw
ing good wages and the family was
conducting the Pacific cafe, which he
recently bought. He has no enemies
and was not known to drink or carouse
any. He was counted by those who
knew him as one of the steady and
substantial men of the city. No trace
can be gotten Of him at all He has a
brother at Coon Rapids, Ia, and a
sister at Ashland, S. d., and 1t may
be that he has gone to either one of
those places.

A burglar entered the Office Of DR..

after turning his medicine cases and

kept, it is believed he was familiar
with the office. Nothing but the two

From the New York Sun: Ironquill
of Kansas talked for half an hour
Thursday Afternoon to persuade n
would.be interviewer from the Sun
that he didn't have any news to tell.
lronquill was right; he didn't. News
was not what the would-be inter.
viewer wanted. but a thumb-nail inn
preston of lronquill of Kansas, and
that he did get.
lronquill? Why, he's the genial
optimist who once made harness, once
was Il soldier, once United States
pension commissioner and all the time
made poetry. Eugene f. Ware of
the young men who help make the
newspapers.
Mr. Ware is at the st. George,
Brooklyn, for few days. He isn't
to be here for long, and he is not
here on any real purpose except to
see the town grow. Came on from
Chicago, where he had some legal
business to attend to-just came on
to take a little look around. But
stay here permanently? Not that as
long as Kansas is on the map. Kan.
sas is good enough for William Allen
White and it's good enough for Eu.
gene +. Ware. Washington was al
right for while, the two years of
1902-1904 that he was holding down
the desk of commissioner of pensions,
but he was so mighty glad to get back
to Kansas that he has been feeling
comfortable over 1t ever since.

Ironquill has a way of rocking back
and forth on his toes when he talks
and he throws his arms out in an ex-
pansive gesture In emphasizing a point
Just as If he were going to lift
shock of corn. When he said: "Why,
couldn't give you any news If |
wanted to-" he flung out his arms so
tirely unprotected,
"Politics?" he echoed. "Well, there
you've got me. You know l am com.
paratively stranger in New York,
and what chance has stranger in
New York got to know anything
believe there are so many New York
ers capable of knowing all about their
own politics; it's such tangled skein
Of yarn-of yarns, I mean.
Il cannot see how it Is that the po-
litical managers have already an.
nounced what the vote is going to be.
All of my friends with whom | have
talked seem to be about to vote diff
ferently than they have ever voted
before; some of them were telling
me they were going to vote for Hearst
and some of them why they weren't
going to vote for your justice who Is
running. | believe-I believe that when
your political managers say they
know what the results going to be
they're-just fooling."
This Ironquill of Kansas must sense
the predominant characteristic of the
present campaign else he could never
have been the author of those lines
which run:
When you consent to be placed on a
ticket,
When you've made up your mind to
run,
Leg it your best-the political thicket
Tears off your clothes but makes
lots of fun.
If you're minus a vote or so,
Smooth it over and let it go.
Efforts and hopes may be lighter or
graver,
Either in politics, business or fame;
Things may be crooked and friend
ships may waver,
Nevertheless, the rule is the same.
Facts are facts. When you
find 1t so,
Smooth it over and let it go.

ONE of the best evidences Of the
rapid development and improvement
IN the West is shown BY the wonder
ful increase in the use OF the tele-
phone during the past I'VE years. In
eleven Of the western states and ter
ritories the number of the rural sele-
phones installed have increased over
two thousand per cent. during this
time, or more than four times as rap
idly as in the eastern states. AT the
present time there are two million
rural telephones used in the United
States There has been no invention
Of recent years that has added more
to the comforts Of farm life and be-
come more indispensable as a part Of
Of the assets Of a farm than the tel
ephone, and the state of Idaho is
one of the western states that has
made the greatest increase in their
use.

Great Satisfaction Felt Over Solution

ron Won Aehrenthal the Austro-Hun-
garian minister of foreign affairs, for
the settlement of the difficulty be-

The greatest satisfaction is felt ev-
erywhere over the happy solution OF
the crisis.
Three hundrerd and eighty. thou
sand men from all parts of the coun-
try have In the last few months been
mobilized in Bosnia and Croatia: the
artillery forces having greatly aug
mented. the arms and ammunition
have been replenished, the entire cost
being estimated at $4,000, 900.
1t Is taken for granted that Servia
will follow the advice of the powers
and that as the annexation of Bosnia

ed the necessity for conference OF
the powers practically has been
avoided.
