One of Many. The Boys are Kicking. Within the last few days the American express company has attached a car to the fast mail train on the Chicago, Bur lington & Quincy road. The railway mail clerks do not take kindly to the scheme. They say the fast mail train is a government train, and should not have a private business attached to it. The express car is run ahead of the mail coaches and is the cause, the clerks say, of their missing numerous pouches here tofore reliably caught on the fly. The reason stated is that the express car causes a suction that displaces the hang ing pouch before the mail coach reaches it. It is thought by those interested that the experiment of running this express car on the fast mail train will be discon tinued very soon. Omaha Herald. The Burlington's Earnings. Chicago, 111..
