Another%etraining order has been issued from the district court at Omaha en joining the Union Pacific and the Omaha and Republican Valley from interfer ing with the traffic of the Bock Island between Council Bluffs, Omaha, Sooth Omaha, Lincoln, Beatrice, and all other intervening points. Application for the order was made Friday. The proper papers were served on the Union Pacific Saturday at Lincoln, at Beatrice Saturday night, and in Omaha Sunday morning. The order holds good until January 15th and restrains defendants from interfering with the Bode Island on all switches, side tracks and stations. In brief, tbe order means that tbe Bock Island, according to contract, most be permitted to run trains from Council Bluffs across the biidge, through Omaha and Lincoln to Beatrice. The contract between tbe Rock Island and Union Pacific is almost identically tbe same as the one between the St. Paul and Union Pacific. The Bock Island has thus far made no move to profit any way by the injunction. It was given out by tbe officials of the road at Omaha that nothing would be done for a few days and even then no physical demonstration will be made, although some formal move may be made same as heretofore.

Grand Secretary and Treasurer E. V. Debe, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, said this morning that in all probability he would not sever his connection with the offices he now holds before January next. The executive comoiittee will then have the appoint* meat of his successor to make. The chairman of the committee has written Mr. Debs saying that the committee would not accept his resignation. Mr. Debs has no way of knowing who his successor will be. The members of the executive committee are far removed from each other and three members of the board were recently admitted to the grand lodge. He is of the opinion that the offices which he now holds will be divided, that of grand secretory wad trwurarer being given to the appointee and that of editor and manager of the magailae to another. This, in his opinion, will have to be done for the reason that the duties are too orcnous for one man to take care of and especially one unacquainted with the work. Mr. Debs has announced his intention to resign in order that he may accept a position to New York. This,- however, is only to be a temporary arrangement, as he ultimately intends to publish a paper in the interest of labor. He eaid this moraine that he would not remove his family t* Kew York under any other consideration.

mm mfr ISr^KSRE HACTS, Ind., December 16,1890. i9 A good encyclopedia is, as tbe name implies, a circle of knowledge. It is, in a very proper sense, a library in itself.

The "Encyclopedia Britaonica" h&s for years been a standard work. The "Americanized Encyclopedia Britannics," which is based upon It, retains its beat features, and adds many new ones. This combination renders it one of tbe best family encyclopedias. HOWARD SANDISOK.

I hate examined the "Americanized Encyclopedia Britannics" and have no hesitation in recommending it. Some good form of encyclopedia is desirable, almost necessary, in every home.

-A- FPHEISTD IN 1TE3E3D.

ENCYCLOPEDIfl.

BRITANNICA.

It is always at hand when you are in doubt. Never makes a mistake or gives bad advice, and will give more genuine pleasure for a longer number of years than anything else on earth.

HOW TO GET IT.

The complete work in ten volumes will be delivered to yon on signing a aoatmot to take the TKRRE HAUTE DAILY NKWS for one year, and by paying $10.60 down ant 12.60 a month for eight months, $30 in all, for the Encyclopedia complete and paper-for one year

No better present can be made than a set of Encyclopedias, unless it be a year's I subscription to a good paper, to be sent to same distant relative or frisnd, a daily m*

AT" IT CONTAINS.

The Americanised Encyclopedia Britaonica is published in ten large illustrates I and handsomely bound volumes, and contains about 7000 pages, 14000 column*, over 8,600,000 words—altogether an amount of reading matter equal to about 11(1 ordinary 12mo volumes in amount and 1000 yolnmes in interest and practical in. formation.. Apart from its inestimable value as a work of reference, this JEncyclopedia has a value which many people never think of associating with books of this description. It is a perfect library of general literature of the most entertainiu4 kind. Are you fond of history? It contains the history of every nation that ever flourished, tells the story of every war that ever wsa waged, and gives an account

of every important battle that was ever fonght. Biography? It tills the ills story of every man who has helped to mold the destinies or thoughts of the world—00m* pletely, if the man be dead, or down to the present year if he be still alive. Do you want travels, famous voyages, wild adventures among savage tribes or in inhospita* ble deserts? The Encyclopedia contains them all, not compiled in a hasty, catch*'

penny style, bnt written by masters of thought and language in each department* Some of the finest essays of Macanlay are to be found within the pages of this work or, if yon incline to scientific study, the Encyclopedia offers you papers prepare by such authors as Huxley, Tyndall and Helm hoi fz on every department of sci« ence which the mind of man has yet explored. And the superlative advantage of the whole arrangement is that if in the course of your reading yon meet as so oftei*

happens, a perplexing reference to something you never heard of before, forgotten, yon have only to take down another volume of the Encyclopedia to learn all about it at a moment's notice.

WHY IT IS THE BEST.

Because it combines the beet features of the best English and American Encyc* lopediaa. It contains in an amended form every article of the original Encyclope* dia Britannic*-—articles written by the foremost men of the age, at a cost of mora than a mOiion dollars. Itprcaeatis a series erf entirely new articles on distinctive!/^ American subjects, which a» bnt lightly touched in the Brftannica. It conform* within reasonable limits articles on distinctively British subjects, on which tha im mrAfttiUn^y Hiffiw. It contains 4,000 biographical sketches of alt pwwninOT^ 1fvi«g «wti .ami woman- a feature which is {totally lacking in the Brit

And it presents large number of new and beautifully executed maps including sa entirely new map of efvtry stats tnthetlttk». In short, it is what its name implies: The Encyclopedia Britannic* AMERICANIZED for use in AMERICAS HOUEBkfejt the orfgiiuKi fitecydopedi* &H*ani«* is Intended tor use by Bc^idamen in The American Edition is the same work reinodelei for u»« by Amerfcans in America.
