DEALERS PAYING
PREMIUM ON CORN
Kearney, Neb., Dec. 9. 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.
Two nice colts in good condition

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.
