Tucsday was a busy day with Union Pacific Council No. 1064 and Antler Council No. 1061, for there was not ouly a consolidation of the ted, to bear the name of the former council, but the follow- g ofticers who will_serve the new combina- tion were clected and installed: J. K. Cham- bees, regent: J. F. Coykendall, vice regent; Sidney Smith, past regeut; James Freston, orator; 1. L. Richaras, sccretary; William ieyer, urer: J. L. Craig, collector; J. B. Sheldon, guide; H. W. Snow, chaplai K. Sutton, sentry:J. B. Twiford, Deputy Supreme Regent J. W. Scott di the blows that brought about the amal tion of these councils. The new Union Pa- citic now hasa membership of over sixty, which will be increased to seventy-five when the file of appiicutions for meumbership is acted upon. ‘The three councils at Council Bluffs furnished about thirty visitors, while a fow members of Pioneer Council were present.

On Friday at the hall of Forcsters' lodge, No. 18, with the assistance of about twenty princes from Council Bluffs, the Omaha council conferred this rank upon quite a number of applicants, The ritual worl is beautiful and impressive, and its study and application tone up the moral side of man, imparting higher principles to his earthly en! vors. he committee on constitution and by-laws met after the udjournment of the council and made preparations for admission under the laws of Iowa and Nebraska. There are councils in Missouri Valley, Council Bluffs and other points in lowa, in Omaha, South Omaha and various other cities of Nebraska. The idea uppermost in the minds of the committee is the formation of a head council meeting once u year, and consisting of delegates clected from the dif- ferent councils, that will subordinate the councils hereabouts for their better govern- ment. There will be a beneficiary fund, calling for not more than 10 ceut or 15 cent contributions ench month, which will be available for the needs of sick or otherwise temporarily em- barrassed privess.

About two weeks ago three Omaha nilway official tour for Kansas City. They boarded started out on a junket- an evening tram, and not being pre- pared to pre-empt their compartments in the sleeper, took up quarters in the drawing room of the car. \long in the night they b 1 to hanker for a little nutriment. 1 of them subjected their satchels to a rigid searchand the result was that two empty half- nnt fasks and an apple were discovered. [t is need- less to state that the countenance ench man collapsed and one peered into the others’ eyes in amazoment. But on the way, one of the trio had been pr sented, by an acquaintanee, to another traveler, and the latter shortly a ard flourished a consi ment of the ardent, 1e nareated this to his con- stituents, but the nutriment was still ns far off as ever. Finally one of the officials aroused his companions from a heavy slumber and asked him if he had any ‘hot stuff.’ The latter replied in the negative, but stated that the mun to whom he had been introduced had a half-pint flask untouched, also that he was slumbering in booth No. 8. One of the ofticials touched the alarm bell, and the vorter responded promptly. *Bring us the grip in No. 8. remarked one of the number. The porter unsuspe ingly repuired to No. 8, and grabbing up the grip restoved it to the coterie of officinls, It was opened and the invit- ing essence of rye was found. Even a railroad official has some compassion for afellow being, and enovgh was left in the flask for the occupant of booth No. S to change breaths the next morning. The satchel was returned, and when the man in No. § avose the uextmorning he invited his friend to recaperate with him, but upon opening his valise he was surprised to find that only enough to moisten a postage stamp wasin the bottle. Turning to his old acquaint- ance he said: By jove that friend that you_introduced to me must be a bummer.” The “friend” who unfo tunately occupied a booth opposite to the incensed traveler by this time arvived nd overheard the conversation. Re- alizing the perdicament he was placod in he explained the situation, telling how the ‘precious” evaporated. The man with the flask was cnraged, and evidently would have been given specinl rates ‘on the roads with which the officials were connected, had he en- countered them upon learning of the peculiavities of the situation. but tal - ing asecond thought, aud concluding that immaculate gall was something to be kept wnd nourished, he viewed the matter in a joking manner. While the directorate of the Union Pacific are imploring the congress of the United States for financial relief, fourteen subordinate officials are being wheeled from one point to another, and all over the continent, in a private car set aside for their accommodation and enjoyment. At present 03 is pre empted by W. H. Holcomb, vice pre dent of the stem. Another no lower and 02 is reached, which is the private palace of Thomas L. Kimball the general manager. The vehicle 05 s that utilized by Assistant General Manager Kimb; while the ambassa- dor from Iarvard college, Assistant General Manager Cummings, rolls about the country among the cowhoys in 06, C. I Ressequie, superintendent of the Nebraska division, occupic while his assistant at North Platte, 1. Touny,rests gently in 08, J. M. Bare sup- erintendent of the Wyoming division, rides about in 09, and Bob Baxter, his able assistant, is wheeled about in 037, The superintendent of the Ldnho divis- ion Rapel reposes in 031, while J.

O, BrinkerhofT,superintendent of the Kansas division promenades the aisle of 01, and his -assistunt throws himself in the seat quite dignified in 07. The president, Charles Franeis Adams, and the board of directors have car 010 set side for their service. This is the most costly of any of the private ca and cost in the neighborheod of $10,000. The other private couches will average about #3,000 each making about $30,000 tied up in that class of rolling stock commonly termed *‘non producers,” railway ~ official in speaking of matter several days ago said: “1f the board of directors and stockholders that haye been imploring md and denounc- ing governmental oppression, would turn their attention to the extrava- gance resulting from official aristoc- racy, that is being not only pticticed but cultivated in the official il of the Union Pacifie, some financial benefit might result, There is n beliel existing in the minds of several individuals on the in- side in railway cireles to the effect that ebbets, general passenger agent of the Union Pacige, and who will in the near future assume the duties of assistant generval freight agent of that road, is the coming man for the head of the system at this place. The fact that he will, at an eavly date, supplant J. A, Munroe as general freight agent is con- ceded in official circles as a possibility, with good grounds on which to rest. 1t is stated that Tebbets springs trom a nd cirele that has a big lev- ge on the munagerial powers of the Union Pacific, and that, were it not for his youth and inex :nce, he would have been basking under the title al- lotted to W. H. Holcombe at the pres- ent time, It is well known that he is strongly favored by President Adams, id that the lat will advance him in ank as fust as possible. “If Tom Potter were alive to-day,” remarked a Union Pacific oflcial, “he certainly would appreciate the promo- tion of £, L. Lomax to the position of general passenger agent of the Union Pacide. Did it ever occur to you thut he was Pouter’s choice for the "place at the time the passeng and ticket de- partments were consolidated? Well, such is the case. and while Potter wielded a powerful influence with the directorate, he was slightly baffled in filling the positions of general nnd as- sistant general passenger agent, You see, Potter wasu'Q’ mun,s0 was Lomax, Lomax isa good passenger man, and Potter knew it, and for this reason he wanted him at the head of the passen- ger department. There were other chunges that the great railroad man d sired making at the sume time, and on. of these to dismiss G, M, Camanings, then operating as assistunt manager, and in this cuse, one Boston mun’s favorites would be to private life. Tebbets was then con nected with the freight department Kansas City. endeavored * to persuade Potter in Cume mings, but flnding this futilo (ho then asked that his next nearest favorite bo put at the head of the pa senger department, From this Potter dissented, but, after a steuggle for su- premacy, the gentleman from *Bean- town’ guined his pownt, and under a compromise,Tebbets was made the héad man and Lomax his assistant, but the difference in salary was only $13 per month, Asto Cummings, Mr. Potter didnot take a dislike to him as much as he did to certain others, but being o thoroughly skilled railroad man, Potter at once discovered t Cuminings was inexperienced, and at once requested his resignation i ol For Brain Kag.
