EAUEOAD EOTATION. --

C. G. Hall has fallen heir to the716 temporarily while the old re-

liable 689 is undergoing some slightrepairs.

E. W Ziebert took a brief lay-of- f

for a few nights this week andHarry Rice is officiating as the G.Y. M. of the night yard.

A couple of freight conductorsbecame tangled up in an altercationthe latter part of last week and theway danger signals were displayedwould occasion alarm to the timor-

ous ones.Division master mechanic Mann-

ing while here on Tuesday made agreat "killing" among the enginemen. As a result of the deadlyguillotine some nine firemen arenow out in the cold wintry blastswithout ' a ' situation. Some arefearful that the deadlv snicker-sne- e

has not 3et completed itslabors.

Owing to the --heating of an en-

gine on the First district train No.1 was .very late into Grand IslandWednesday, and two locomotiveswere attached in the hope ot mak-

ing up some of the lost time. Owingto the hinder one running hot shewas set out between this place andthe Sugar city and the train reachedthis city over one hour late. Afreight engine was attached to trainNo. 5, but for some reason the lat-ter train was also way late into thiscity.

The new combination coach andbaggage cars now in use on trainNo. 1 are things of beauty, beingover seventy feet in length fittedup with a bar and barber shop openat all hours, and finished in thehighest style of the coach finisjier'sart. In addition to their handsomeappearance they are bo stronglybuilt that in case of a collisionthere is but little danger of theheavy sleepers behind "telescop-ing" them.

THE WHEELMEN'S DANCE.

The first annual ball of the NorthPlatte "Wheelmen was held at theopera house. Tuesday evening', andas a social occasion was certainly agreat success. Though the crowdwas not as large as usually patron-ize public dances, the attendantsrepresented North Platte's bestsociety, and this feature added tothe enjoj'metit of all. Quite a num-ber of ladies were members of thereception committee.

There were twenty dances on theprogramme, most of which were thenewer waltzes, aud much grace,ease and gallantry were exhibited.The costunies worn by the ladieswere pretty, and froni the gallerythe scene on the floor was both inrteresting and pleasing. Music wasfurnished by Garlichs' orchestra,and never did that organizationplay better. This is a musicalorganization of which North Platteshould feel proud.

The hall was decorated withChinese lanterns and bicycles. Agreat profusion of the latter werearranged with taste upon the stageand a wheel suspended to eachchandalier.

The gentlemen in charge of theball were very successful in theirefforts to make it a pleasant occa-sion, and they are entitled to thethanks of each attendant. Aboutfifteen dollars were the net receipts.
