Kearney dealers are paying a premium on corn, and as a consequence corn is being marketed here from distances of twenty miles and more, the ma jority coming from south of the Platte river. On Wednesday Kear ney buyers were paying 60 cents for corn, which was only 6 cents below the Omaha quotation. Farmers coming in yesterday with corn from the vicinity of Axtell and Minden stated that the Kearney mar kets were offering 19 cents a bushel premium on corn above quotations in their locality. Very little wheat is finding its way to market here, but this is not thought due to any or ganized movement among farmers to hold up for a better price. COLTS FOR SALE.

Gentlemen: Please Eend me fur- ther information about vour bie Christmas Piano club. The Club Piano The Club Player Zsf Designate by an X the one you are interested in NAME ADDRESS Schmoller a ueller Piano Co., 1 14-16-18 South 15th Street, Omaha, Neb. It was announced yesterday by the legal staff of the Chicago & North western railroad at Omaha that on January 1 that company will com pletely absorb the Chrcago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha System, better known as the Omaha line. Attorney R. D. Neely of the North western was authority for the state ment, although the rumor has been rife for some time. The change will be mostly in name for the Northwestern has owned the Omaha for years, but the reuft will be that operating, legal and execu tive offices for Nebraska and the west will be consolidated in the present Northwestern headquarters at Twelfth and Farnam Etreets, in Omaha. As far as is known, , General Man ager Dickson for the lines wjst of the river, will maintain Lis position thero, while the line to the Twin Cities will be operated from St. PaulJ where the Omaha line hea.dquarie.-r now are. I James F. Clark is "president of the Omaha line and his status after the consolidation has not been made public. Will Transfer Offices All Omaha line offices now in somewhat shabby quarters in the Webster street station, will be trans ferred to the Farnam street North western offices. Divisional "headquarters of the Northwestern lines west of the Mis souri now at Fremont are likely to be 'changed to Omaha in order to handle all business out of both the Union and Webster street stations, as well as. the freight business out of both terminals. - . r Possible abandonment of the ven erable Webster street passenger' sta tion, which now is close to wreck and ruin,, comes with the announce ment of the consolidation. . It is pointed out that this prop erty is too valuable to be used ex clusively for the service of 'a com paratively handful -of passengers' and baggage, when trains to Blair and other towns on the Nebraska side be tween Omaha and Sioux City might easily start out of the Union depot by backing up to Fourteenth street in the Omaha main terminals. The freight terminals at Webster and Davenport streets, among the best in Omaha, will of course be pre served, according to the announce ment. Will Affect Missouri Pacific Should the Webster street passen ger depot be abandoned and lorn down, tiie Missouri Pacific local pas senger 'train service one way daily except Sunday, between Auburn and Omaha thru Louisville and Spring field will have to reach the Union depot, as the Mop trains running through Piattsrnouth do. There is a survey from Seymour park, otherwise known as Ralston cn the Missouri Pacific to a point near Gilmore on the Union Pacific, which J leads directely into the Union depot terminals, and over which line the Kansas City-Omaha Mop trains afe now rouTed. It is thought that this line will be built soon. uarter Million Words Up Its Sleeve SAYS FREIGHT RAISE DID NOT BRING MORE CARf. . Lincoln, Dec. 9. The Uurlington railroad, in a lettersto the state rail wey commission received today, de nies a statement said to have been made by the traffic manager of the M. C.
