Tho present postofllco building bna boon occupied only n little over three and one-hair years. Tho rapid growth of tho city and Its postolllco business hn8 oo crowded tho present building that when tho Inspectors wero In Lin coln from tho dopartmont nt Washing ton In March, besides making out their regular report, they prepared a special report to tho department set ting forth tho conditions In tho Lin coln postofTlco nnd snylng that unless more ample room wero furnished tho postolllco business of tho city could not bo properly carried on thorc.

Subsequently tho idea of enlarging tho old building was abandoned, nnd on March 3, 1903, tho prcsidont ap proved an net authorized and direct ing tho construction of tho present building.

Tho order reduces tho rate on corn and grain and grnm products taking tho corn rate, but suggests to tho ex chango that It should go beforo tho Interstate Commerce commission In tho matter of tho differential in favor of Kansas City to southern points. Tho exchange or Omaha asked practically that grain shipments to these two cities bo plnced on tho mllenge basis, but whllo recognizing tho distnnco Is a factor In the making of rates, as that is a question to bo decided In another case wherein tho commission Ib to promulgate a rato classification, this question was not passed on. The commission, however, said tho showing mado waa sufficient to demonstrato that tho rates com plained of aro excessive, and ordered a reduction ranging from 1 cent to 1.S8 cents. Tho nctlon was brought by tho exchange because of a reduction In rntes put Into effect by both roads to Kansaa City. The rat03 promulgated by tho com mission are as fonows: BURLINGTON. Cents.

IHKJP SGARF WESTERN RAILROADS START THE CRY OF PANIC. A PREDICTION OF HARD TIMES Policy of Retrenchment to the Limit Hinted At Illinois Manufac turers Mako Light of the Threat Chicago, 111. Simultaneous nppoals to tho peoplo wero mado hero by tho western railroads and by tho Illinois manufacturers' nsBociatlon. Tho rail roads submitted their brief to "tho man in the street nnd the farmer," hinting hnrd times lr the railroads aro not permitted to increase their frolght rates. Tho manufacturers tell tho peo ple not to bo deceived, as there la no danger or panic and laud President Tart for his nctlon In obtaining tho Injunction halting the proposed lu crcaso In rates. On behalf of the railroads, Slason Thompson, head of the railroad pub licity bureau, put forward "four rea sons why railroad rates must bo raised." According to Mr. Thompson, tho rajlronds In tho last two years aro $220,000,000 behind on malntcnanco; they paid $130,000,000 more annually for labor; they paid $100,000,000 more nnnually for Interest; they lost $25, 000,000 nnnunlly on pascenger trafllc with the result that they are $730,000, 000 to the bad In two yenrs." "Railway rates must be advanced because many companies face bank ruptcy If they nre not," said Mr. Thompson. "This Is a result which tho Injunction granted at Hannibal, Mo., on a side Issue, irrespective of tho Justice of the advance, on expartc representation, without notice and without rroper weighing of tho conse quences, may expedite, but Is power less to enjoin. Why this is so may briefly be stated In terms that tho man in tho Btrect, In tho workshop nnd on the farm can understand and appreciate. In the end It Is this man In the street who must bear tho brunt of any disaster that befalls the Amen lean railway system." To Honor Memory of Custer. Monroe. Mich.
