Getting m New and Better Move.
Omaha dispatch.The announcement
that the Union Pacific Is to increase
its train service brings out the fact
that several other roads are figuring
on making some sensational move
ments In the same direction , probably
in view of the approach of the expo
sition and its traffic. The Northwest
ern some time ago announced its inten
tion of bettering Is service , and now
come the Burlington and Rock Island
with similar announcements.
It was announced nearly two months
ago that the Burlington had under con
sideration the restoration of trains
Nos. 1 and 6 , the fast east and west
bound trains between Chicago and
Denver. General Passenger Agent
Francis of the B. & M. this morning
said that the matter of restoring to
the regular service of the road these
trains that were taken off four years
ago , when the passenger traffic began
to fall away , was still under consider
ation by the management of the com
pany , and that no decision in the mat
ter had yet been reached. If it is de
cided to restore these trains to service
they will be placed on Tuesday , March
1. These trains when formerly in
service made the run between Chicago
and Denver in about the same time as
will be made by the new trains of the
Union Pacific and the Northwestern
railroads. They did not pass through
Omaha , but were run via Plattsmouth
and Pacific Junction. It is considered
likely that the route would be the same
were the trains restored and in all
probability the time would be short
ened somewhat.
The officials of the Rock Island rail
road are also said to be considering
the matter of restoring trains Nos. 21
and 22 , fast trains between Chicago
and Denver , which were talten out of
service on the approach of "hard
times. " Train No. 21 would leave Chicago
cage at about 10 a. m. , arrive here at
midnight and reach Denver at 2 or 3
o'clock the following afternoon. Train
No. 22 would leave Denver a. about
noon , pass through Omaha at 4 a. m. ,
and reach Chicago at 5 p. m. Such-was
the time card of trains Nos. 21 and
22 when they were formerly in service
and it is believed that practically the
same schedule would be adhered to
now on the restoration of the trains ,
with the probabilitj' of having th&
running time of tne trains somewhat
abbreviated.
Definite arrangements are said to
have been completed during the visit
of the Port Arthur officials to this city
for the use by that road of the East
Omaha bridge and the other terminal
facilities owned by the East Omaha
company. Plans for the necessary im
provements have been prenared and
will be executed at an early date. Other
lines are figuring for tne use of the
same terminals , and the future of the
East Omaha terminal seems to be so
well assured that Arthur S. Potter ,
who has been vice president and jren-
eral manager of the East Omaha Ter
minal and Bridge companv and has
devoted his time to promotion of its
projects , has severed his connection
wit. . . the company and will go to otner
work February 1 , retaining his stock
in the company.
"Will Test Sugar Beet * .
The farmers interested in the grow
ing of the sugar beet held a largely at
tended and interesting meeting at
Grafton. There were about 100 pres
ent. The question as to how to grow
the sugar beet and what to expect if
the test is successful was made very
plain by Rev. D. Fitzgerald. The re
quired eighty farmers willing to culti
vate one-eighth of an acre of beets
for a test were secured. Father Fitz
gerald assured those present that the
people asking for this test had a laTge
amount of money to invest , and that
they are not looking for any city to
give them a bonus , but simply want
to ascertain where the best beets can
be grown. Then they will follow up
and put in a factory. An association
was formed to further advance the
beet culture question.
"Would Not Beat a Railroad.
General Passenger Agent Francis of
the Burlington is in receint of a pe
culiar letter. It is from a man in Ohio
containing a check for S20 , and in it
the writer says in the fall of 1893 he
took a trip on the rnad for a consid
erable distance on a pass belonging to
some other man , thus defrauding the
company out of his fare , which would
have been about $15. T-.e writer says :
"It ought not to be a hard nroblem in
ethics for a Christian man , but it took
me a long time to get my conviction
and my will to go together in doing
now what I can to risrht the wrong ,
so I enclose herewith $20. as principal
and interest of the debt. "
Good Winter for Sheep.
Columbus dispatch : The A. J. Nol-
lin company , which has large yards
here for feeding sheep , will com
mence in a few days to place its sheep
on the market , and by the 1st of March
expect to have the entire lot 26,000
shipped out. Superintendent Juckes
says that this has been a very good
winter for their business and the stock
is in fine condition. This company
expects to do business here right
along and all their improvements are
permanent.
Have Fear of Annexation.
A new clause has just been added to
the contract between the farmers and
the Oxnard Beet Sugar company which
shows that the Oxnard company fears
the annexation of Hawaii will have
an effect on the sugar industry. The
clause is as follows : "It is further
provided that in case Hawaii or any
of the Hawaiian islands should be an
nexed to the United States during the
life of this contract , then and in that
case a reduction of 50 cents per ton
will .be .named from all-of theabove
named prices" ( for beets. )

THE EXPOSITION WQRK.
In tTuctioii Regarding Prospective County -
, , ty and I.strict Exhibit * .
The Nebraska exposition commis
sion held a meeting , says the Omaha
Bee , and disposed of considerable
business. Among other things , In
structions , recommended by Superin
tendent Johnson of the agricultural
department , were adopted for the
guidance of prospective county and
district exhibits. Various counties in
the state have been inquiring for some
time regarding this matter.
According to thes ! ) instructions ,
counties whicn propone " to send and
maintain exhibits at the exposition
must group them. Collective exhibits
will not be received. Agricultural ex
hibits will be put In the agricultural
building , horticultural exhibits in the
horticultural building , and so on. Con
sequently only exhibits grouped in this
manner will be received. Each of the
exhibits will be labeled with the name
of the county which sends them.
Counties will be allowed to join to
gether for the purpose of making dis
trict exhibits , but these exhibits mur.t
be grouped in the same manner.
Finally , any counties which can afford
to make separate exhibits can send
the products which they wish to dis
play to the commission , which will
arrange and maintain them and label
them with the counties' names. The
commission stipulates that the coun
ties and districts shall accept such
space and under such rules and regula
tions as the commission adopts.
The contract for three groups of
statuary and two single figures for the
state building was awarded to Kim
ball Brothers of Lincoln , their bid be
ing S1.200. The other bidders were :
J. Schild of Omaha , $1,240 ; Fred
Schmoht of Chicago. $2,700 ; Julius
Leester of Omaha , $2,150.
Superintendent Stulson of the
apiary department was authorized to
place in the department wax figures at
a cost of not to exceed $75.
The commission decided that if-
will postpone consideration of all
proDositions for space in the Nebraska
building until the structure is com
plete and turned over to the posses
sion of the board.
The announcement Avas made that
the railroads will transport all Ne
braska agricultural and horticultural
exhibits to and from the exposition
grounds free of charge. . Live stock
will be charged full racps to the
grounds , but will be icturncd free of

meetings. While the du'ies of the
county board are laid down by the
statutes , we all know that at neariy
every session questions come rp
which tlie statutes do not cover .and
we are compelled to depend upon our
judgment in the matter. At these
metings such questions are brought
out and discussed by members frcm
different counties. You can readily
see what a store of inrormation can
be obtained and how much better
qualified we will be to transact our
county business.
Very Resp ° etfully Yours.

Bartlcy Files Annwor.
Ex-State Treasurer Joseph S. Bart-
ley has filed his answer in the case
brought by the attorney general on
behalf of the state of Nebraska to re
cover the sum of $335,000 that Bart-
ley is accused of having embezzled
and failed to turn over to his suc
cessor at the end of his term of office.
Bartley denies in general terms all of
the charges of embezzlement and con
version , and asks that the petition be
dismissed for the reason that a suit
involving the same issues and the
same charges is on file in the district
court of Douglas county undeter
mined. This suit is a civil action di
rected more especially against Bart-
ley's bondsmen and in no way affects
the criminal cnarge on which ho was
convicted. u , .i
Pensions for aiilitiampn.
General Barry has prepared docu
ments which will be sent to Congress
man Stark asking that the general
government recogni-a the Nebraska
militia organized during the war , to
the end that a pension may be granted
to deserving ones the same as to resr-
larly enlisted soldiers. This militia
was composed of six companies , al ! of
which took active part In the war.
They were equipped by the state ,
which was a erward reimbursed by
the general government. The -matter
is now brought up by "William Hud
son of company B , who asks for a
pension.
The Educational Exhibit.
Superintendent Jackson is much
encouraged over the interest mani
fested by school teachers in the educational - %
cational exhibits to be made at the
exposition. Applications for space
have been received from schools rep
resented by 1,500 teachers. The super
intendent has just issued a circular
giving full instructions as to prepar
ing wall exhibits. He asks that all
woriv to be placed on the wall be
mounted on a good quality of card
board , 22x28 inches in size.
New Man in Charge.
j . change will take place in the
working force of Land Commissioner
Wolfe's office on February 1 , when
Alex Schlegel , the draughtsman , gives
place to A. K. Gift , who has just been
appointed. The new appointee is from
Lexington and is the present county
surveyor of Dawson county , a posi
tion which he has held for several
years. There were a number of appli
cants for the position , and the fact
that Commissioner Wolfe considered
that the indorsement of Mr. Gift entitled -
titled him to the place -is a comnli-
ment to him.

THE LOUD POSTAL.BILL.
A North Dakota Editor Thinks It Would
Jnjuru Country 1'ubllNhurn !
WASHINGTON , Jan. 31. M. II.
Jewell , publisher of the Bismarck
Tribune , has addressed a. letter to
publishers of country papers , dally and
weekly. The letter Is a protest against
the Loud postal bill now bsforo the
senate , and is as follows :
"Dear Sir : Hereon you will find
printed what is known as the Loud
bill , relating to second-class postage ,
which if passed will disastrously affect
the publishing interests of this coun
try by cutting off all Bamplo copies ,
which would include all exchanges ,
all copies to advertisers and advertis
ing agents , all copies issued and paid
for by campaign committees or adver
tisers , all copies desired to be circu
lated for the purpose of securing new
subscribers , and In the language of the
bill would only allow you to send
copies of your paper "to persons who
voluntarily order and pay for the
same , " except that you do so by pay
ing the ruinous rate of postage "one
cent for each four ounces or fraction
thereof. " The provisions of this law
can bear no other reasonable construc
tion than that a subscriber must be
cut off at the expiration of the time
to which his subscription has been
paid.
"Mr. Perry S. Heath , who is the first
assistant postmaster general , in a per
sonal letter to Mr. Loud has expressed
his opinion in the matter , urging an
amendment to the bill which would , in
his opinion , protect the interests of
legitimate publishers.
"Mr. Loud is reported to have said ,
In conversation with a publisher , that
when this bill was passed he proposed
to introduce a bill prohibiting free cir
culation of country papers in the coun
ty where published. This is borne out
by a paragraph in Mr. Loud's report ,
which reads as follows : 'They ( the
committee ) do not assume that the bill
they recommend to you is perfect ; far
from it. Neither does it wholly remedy
this evil. It i3 , however , a step in the
right direction , and goes as far as they
thought prudent at this time. ' A large
amount of advertising contracts are
being held up by advertisers because
of the general belief among them that
the adoption of this measure will re
duce circulation among the weekly pa
pers at least 33 1-3 per cent.
"Not the least objectionable feature
of this proposed legislation is its effect
upon immigration matters. Fcr if the
Loud bill becomes a law. extra copies
of special editions of the country press
containing that information which
prospective settlers and investors all
over the country most desire , wi'l ' be
denied the privilege of second-class
rates now enjoyed. Not even a sin
gle extra copy , with some specially
marked article , descriptive of the
country , or of some enterprise or in
dustry , can be sent out except at enor
mously increased rates of postage.
Publishers generally will not fail to
appreciate the far-reaching effects of
this measure and the importance of se
curing its defeat or effecting sweeping
modifications. We expect ycur coop
eration in an effort to amend or defeat
this bill. We urge you to act at once.
Telegraph and write your congressman
to use his influence and utmost efforts
to defeat this dangerous measure. It
would materially aid us in cur work
here if you will mail us a ccpy of
your telegram and letter to your con
gressman together with such other
suggestions as you see fit to make.
Please let us hear from you at once. "
THE WHEAT MARKET.
Took a Strong Upward Turn for January
and May.
CHICAGO , Jan. 31. The wheat
market last week showed all the ele
ments of a bull campaign. Prices rose
sharply and Saturday reached the
highest point yet touched for this sea
son's crop , tne feature of the market
was the advance in January wheat un
der Leiter manipulation from 94 %
cents to $1.10. Partly from this and
partly from the remarkable strength
of foreign markets May and July , es
pecially the former , ruled strong and
advanced sharply. A reduct'on of 12.8
cents per bushel in the Italian grain
duty and strong Liverpool cables
caused a general advance early Mon
day. Late in the day news of the or
dering of the United States cruiser
Maine to Havana caused a scramble
among shorts and prices touched the
highest point since December 31. On
Tuesday , January was bid up from
94 % cents to $1.00 , by the Leiter crowd
in order , it is said , to advance the
price of May. The same tactics were
used again on Wednesday and with
better success , the character of the
news affecting wheat being more than
favorable. The advance in January to
$1.01 , coming on an oversold market ,
started free covering and resulted in
another good advance in May and Ju
ly. On Thursday the Leiter party
again used January to advance prices.
Sharp bidding hoisted January to 1.05
and heavy buying of futures resulted
The market became a very broad one ,
strong cable reports that Russia was
likely to become an importing country
and heavy seaboard clearances adding
to the general interest. Large Argen
tine shipments and a reaction at Liv
erpool caused a decline early Friday ,
but later strong continental cables
started prices upward and helped as
usual by January , prices touched the
highest position. May ranged from
91917s cents to 98 cents , yester
day's closing price , 97 % cents , being
a net advance of 5& cents. July ad
vanced % @ % cents , ranging from
83 % to 88 cents.
