a number of years. He wa there before
Mr. Crow became postmaster. He has.hoata
nf friends and it was first thought possible
to make up the heavy deficit and avoid the
disgrace and humiliation of falling Into the
Viands of the law, but no frlenda hae come
to the rescue and of his own volition Mr.
Olaon yesterday decided to make a clear
confession.
"He confessed to me," said Postmaster
Crow, ''and although by that time I had
about satisfied myself aa to the fact. I
waa terribly affected, 'a I had learned to
think a great deal of Olson. He.was always
popular and no one ever would have taken
him for a gambler or a dishonest man. I
believed him atraightforward and upright
and still think ha Is naturally Well Inclined,
but like many other comparatively good
man he became a victim of tht manner of
vice and waa unable to resist the powerful
temptation until It was too late. I regret
the unfortunate situation with all my
heart."
Olson la a young man, apparently in his
latter twenties. He 1 a widower and has
ne child, a beautiful little girt. Bom three
year ago he left Omaha and went to Seat
tle and took a position In hla brother's
bank. On his return to Omaha he made
application for a position, which he was
given In the Omaha postofflce. He ha
always been regarded as an expert at this
work. '
Mr. Olaon was arrested last evening
and when seen at the city Jail said he
had nothing to say In regtu-U to the matter;.

The council met aud adjourned yesterday
' afternoon after appointing the entire nine
members as a committee to draft resolu
tions relating to the four firemen killed
while on duty Thanksgiving.
The only way in which the purchase of a
fire enirlne waa touched upon was the re
ceipt of a letter from W. B. Nott, presi
dent of tba Nott Fire Engine company of
Minneapolis, In which he offered to rent
the city a thlrd-claa new eteamer for a
period not exceeding fouiy months at K&
per month. In case an engine Is bought
from tha Nott company the rental is to
apply on tha price. Conditions named are
that tha city la to pay the freight both
ways and tha expenaea of an engineer to
instruct tha local department how to use
tha engine, this charge not to exceed 130.
Tha letter was addressed to Councilman

tiA uolica committee and waa referred
back to Ms commlUe.
Tbla arrangement. If made, would afford
the council an opportunity avade the
mayor's argument .that an engine must be
purchased at once. - Previously the council
decided to wait until an official paper was
secured In order to have a competitive test
between tha Metropolitan and Nott engines.

tha club and giving in addition much of
Interest regarding the educational exhibit
generally. Mr. Barbour spoke of th
I woman's clubs aa "colleges for married
women." and said he considered them one
of th chief educational factors of the
state, though he found his Idea combatted
by other members of the educational branch
of ths commission. NebraskA will be tne ,
only state that will Include -the work of its
club women with its edjcatlonal exhibit.
Though the Palace of Education at the x

of the work Is to be bound or arranged In

banquets, original book designs, year books
giving outlines of study and work, illustra

Indebted to the club women, and last, but
not least, photographs of club women them
selves. The club women will receive with
satisfaction the announcement that Mr.
Barbour is to have as his assistants In
Judging the work those who have served
In a like capacity before. They are Miss
Carrl Barbour, Mr. E. G. Woodruff and
Mine Edith I. Webster, all assistants in
th department of geology at the University
of Nebraska and connected with the state
museum. This will put at rest the uneasi

most likely contributors regarding the capa

Business occupied ttio rest of the hour,
Mr. B. M. Stevenson, vice president, tak

a well known horse breeder, is a prisoner
at police headquarters awaiting requi

said he Is wanted on a charge of stealing
Vwo carloads of Shetland ponies.
Beyond the Information that Snow was
arrested at he request of thp Kansas
authorities, the police are reticent regard
ing the prisoner. He was arralgnsd bpfore
a police magistrate, but nothing developed
as to the affair. The detective who made
the arrest at Snow's home In this city said
he undprstood the chief of police of
Topeka had asked the New York depart

MEETING TO ADJUST GRAIN TARIFFS
Tranamlaaisalppl Freight Association
to Art on Hatters at Ktni lllc
Darlnat the Present
Week.
The TransmlSKissippl Freight association
will meet In Kansas City this week to take
up In the matter of grain rates, and try to
rrange a tariff whereby all roads will be
plaoed on an equal footing so far aa these
rates are concerned. The cut made by the
Missouri Pacific to southern markets prob-
bly will be the principal toplo under dis
cussion.
A man prominently connected with the
freight department of one of the local rail
roads said that ha had noticed the stories
published in tha local papers concerning the
reposed change In the grain rates to the
north by the Chicago Great Western. He
also had seen one of the telegrams from
Traffic Manager Stohr of the Great West-
rji, and said:
'I cannot Bee how anyone can oeclare
that Omaha Is not going to lose ai'.ylhtuu
by this proposed change In rates, neither
can I see how this city will be on an equ.il
footing under the rates proposed with Kan
sas City. Even If tha rates north from
Omaha and Kansas City . are equalized,
Kansas City will have a better rate to
southern markets by 3 rents, than Omaha,
and there is no prospect of that difference
being removed. This will, be just enough
difference In favor of Kansas City to, en
able that market to secure the grain ship
ments from competing territory. The dif
ference In the two places as grain mar
kets can be plainly seen, under present con
ditions, if you take up a Kansas City paper.
and read of the complaint which Is being
made down there now regarding the delay
to which grain shipments are being sub
jected. The grain dealers of Kansas
City have a fight on with the rail
roads because tho railroads con
tend they cannot move the product.
It seems from what I can gather that the
hlpmenta are so heavy It la Impossible for
the transportation companies to handle
them. You don't hear of that state of
affairs here, do you? At least !t has not
been brought to my attention."
.ot Uiinal Footing.
Another freight man said: "General
Agent Thomas of the Great Western has
tated that Omaha and Kansas City will
be on an equal footing to the northern mar-
kets under the new rates as proposed by i
Traffic Manager Stohr. At the same time
others sre making tne claim that this city
Is losing nothing by the proposed change
In rates. Now, under the rates as they
stand at present, this city has the better
of Kansas City by 6 cents to Minneapolis
and fit. Paul. If the proposed rate puts the
two markets on an equal footing as Gen
eral Agent Thomas says, this city has lost
Its balance of B cents, hasn't it? That Is
tha way I would look at it."
H. W. Howell, traveling freight and pas
senger agent of the Milwaukee, who has
Just returned from a trip through (Ne
braska, says that grain dealers out In the
slate ara heartily In sympathy with the
establishment of a market In Omaha, and
are willing, if need be, to lend financial
assistance to the project. He says tho es
tablishment of a market here Is the general
toplo of conversation ,among the country ,
dealers and they hv-been very much '
elated over the announcement of rates
which have placed this city at an ad
vantage over other markets.
'But," said he, "If the rates are restored
there will be great disappointment among
the country dealers who have built up
great hopes on the apparent success which
has attended the efforts of Omaha mer
chants to build up a substantial market
here."

OMAHA, Nov. SO, lWKl.-To the Editor of
The Bee; I have read your editorial
in tho edition of the 28th regarding
Life Insurance for Firemen," and while wo
are in full accord regarding tha propriety
of men in this hazardous occupation car
rying a Una of Insurance that their families
or relatives should be protected In case of
a fatality to themselves, yet I cannot un
derstand why you, as a representative pro
moter of tho Interests of Omaha should
not recommend that the members of the
fire department should take Insurance in an
Omaha Institution tha Woodmen of tha
World, for Instance. An Institution that
pays hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually Into tha business houses of this city
for advertising matter to be distributed
over the United States and Canada, thus
not only advertising the order, but the city
of Omaha? as well. A greater amount, un
doubtedly, than any other business Interest
of the city.
Another reason I desire to recommend
this Omaha institution is because, while
it is equally as firm and secure as any old
Una company In the I'nlted States, yet its
rates are within reach of the smallest sal
ary. Tou say that a man at the age of 30
years could be carried In standard com
panies at a cost of VM per 11,000. The rates
on firemen in the Woodmen of the World
a; SO years of age would be tl.JS each aar
sessment upon S1,000, or but $18.80 per year,
which Includes a payment for the camp ex
penses. And the payment to an old line
or standard company, aa you call It, would
not Include attention during atckncMa or
Injury, nor cessation of payment of pre
mium while alck, all of which is attended
to by his camp In the Woodmen of -the
World. An equally proportionate sum
would keep a $2,500 certificate In force In
the Woodmen of the World, against $75 or
$S1 aa named by you In the old line com
pany. Thus you see If the city paid one
half the cost, aa you recnmmemf, it would
bo but a very small payment for the Are
man. There are many of the firemen of our
city who are members of tIJs order at the
present time, and I am only sorry that
those gallant fel'ows who lust ti:ulr Uvea
In the great conflagration lately had not
been members, that their families might
have derived the benefits thereof. I hope
you will still further promote the great
Idea you have advanced and also rvcorn
