1NEY FOR LINCOLN
SENATE PASSES THE DILL FOR
FEDERAL BUILDING.
APPROPRIATION OF $425,000
Capital City People Jubilant Over the
Outlook Other Matters of State
Interest at Lincoln.
Word reached Lincoln by telegraph
that tho United States Bonntc had
pnssed Senator Burkott's bill appro
priating $125,000 for tho extension
and Improvement of tho federal build
ing nt Lincoln. Lincoln peoplo aro
jubllunt ovor tho prospects of having
tho postofllco building enlarged now
iib It was originally designed. 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.
Senator Burkott In Introducing tho
bill asked for an appropriation of
$050,000. Tho committee nppolnted
to take up tho matter reported In fa
vor of $425,000, nnd It was this sum
thnt wbb voted on by tho senate.
Tho hlBtory of tho Lincoln post
ofllco began In February, 1873, when
tho prcsidont of tho Unltod Statea ap
proved an act of congress, entitled,
"An net to authorize tho construc
tion of a fire-proof building at Lin
coln, tho capital of Nebrnska." Under
this act was constructed the old post
olllco building, which was occupied
for that purposo from 1879 to 190G,
and la now tho city hall. Tho cost of
tho old postolllco building was $227,
301.91. Its dimensions aro 88x58 feet,
covering a ground space oft 5,104
square foot
On Juno C, 1902, the president ap
proved an act popularly designated
"tho omnibus public building act,"
which carried iib ono Item an addi
tional appropriation of $300,000 for
tho enlargement of tho old govern
ment building In the city of Lincoln.
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 original design of tho present
building will simply bo cnrrled out
nnd completed if tho appropriation
carries.

AS TO GRAIN RATES.
State Railway Commission Issues an
Order.
Tho State Railway commission has
Issued nn order In tho complaint or
tho Omaha Grain exchange against
the Burlington nnd Union Pnclcfl rail,
ronds, by which the exchango sought
to havo the rates to Omnhn on corn
and grain so reduced thnt It would bo
plnced on an oqunlly with Knnsaa
City, which has a differential rato or
3 to G cents per 100 pounds to tho
south and southwest.
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.

mission are as fonows:

725.719.C9 nnd the reproduction value

and the company differ mostly, is tho
right-of-way. Mr. Hurd valued tho
tho right-of-way and the station

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."

TRAMP KNEW HUMAN NATURE
Simple Stratagem That Secured for
"Knight of the Road" a Sub
stantial Meal.
A clever Httlo bit of human nnturo
was used by a "knight of tho road" re
cently on a matron living In a suburb
of Pittsburg, and aa a result ho slept
with a full stomach thnt night.
Tho suburb is quite small, nnd when
the tramp dropped off a freight and
ambled up tho main street ho waa quite
hungry. Thero wero about ten houses
which gave fair chanco of moals, and
the tramp lost no tlmo. Ho was not
surprised when tho flrat housow!f
slninnicd tho door In his faco, nor the
second, for that was natural and tbo
proper thing to do. Hut when ho
reached the ninth houso, or rather wob
helped away, he waa thoroughly dls
guated. The town certainly had hlia
hoodooed.
After a short rest and a deep think
the hungry ono knocked at tho door
of tho tenth house.
"Madam, can you lot a hungry man
have n blto to cat? I don't think you
can, though," ho said. Tho woman
opened her cars.
"Why can't I?" sho Inquired.
"The woninn next door said you
didn't havo enough for yourself."
He got his meal.
