TUB McCook post-office shows a very
healthy and increasing business in both
postage account and money-order busi
ness in the latter particularly ; this de
partment showing a marked growth in
popular favor.
PAUL MORTON of Chicago is quoted as
favoring the railroads running Uncle
Sam's postal business A startling prop
osition , indeed ! But Paul is more likely
to see your Uncle Sam running the rail
roads than the realizing of his fond
dream.
ONJC of these prosperous days the people
ple of these United States will couie to a
realizing knowledge of the value of
merging , consolidating , combining etc
and there will result a popular trust
which will make the bilion-dullar steel
trust look like seventeen cnts
ANDRBW CAKNKGIK celebrated his
retirement from active business life by
donating < 5oooooo ; for the endowment
of a fund for superannuated and disabled
employes of the Carnegie company.
This fund will be used in conjunction
with the savings fund established by the
company fifteen years ago for the benefit
of its employes. Jn this fund nearly
$2,000,000 of the employes' savings are
on deposit. The company by contract
pays six per cent and loans money to the
workmen to build their own homes.
library donations were also offered the i
following cities before his departure for
Europe ; Canton , 0. , $50,000 ; Hemp-
Sted , L I , 25,000 ; Ogdeti , Utah , $25 , '
ooo , and $20,000 additional for Atlanta ,
Ga. , library bearing his name. And to
cap the climax , it is stated that Carnegie
contemplates spending $25,000,000 in is
building and endowing a technical
school in Pittsburg.
THE effort of the Union Pacific to
secure a controlling interest in "Q"
stock is attracting large attention in
railroad circles. Can the tail wag the
Reported Lease of Burlington.
The reported arrangement for leasing
the Chicago.Burlington & . Quincy system
to the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific railroad companies places the Hill
combination in a position to compete in
Oriental freights with the Canadian Pa
cific railroad. When their new and fast
steamers between Seattle and Yokohama
and Hong Kong are placed in commis
sion , the Great Northern will have facili
ties entirely similar to those of the Can
adian road.
President George B. Harris of the Bur
lington is making a trip over the road
through Iowa , but a prominent railroad
official , speaking of the rumored combi
nation , said :
"No changes may be expected in the
officers of the road. The Burlington
and the Pennsylvania lines both use the
Union depot , so the time may be said to
be near when through sleeping cars will
be run from New York city on regular
trains over the combined lines direct to
Seattle and Tacoma. Except by special
arrangements , all passengers now change
cars going east or west at Chicago. "
According to present advices , James J.
Hill will operate the Burlington on a
separate and independent basis , but as a
part of a continuous link system from
Chicago to the Pacific coast in the1 north
west , with New York connections over
the Pennsylvania lines. Chicago Trib

Keep a Scrapbook.
The Keystone gives some practical di
rections : Every merchant should keep
a scrapbook. This suggestion has been
made before , but it is fully worth em
phasizing. Every bright advertisement
that you notice in your local paper or
those of other towns ; every model adver
tisement that you observe in your trade
paper , and ever practical trade bringing
plan or hint , should be cut out and past
ed in the book with full data as to the
mine and date of the paper. You will
find such a book an inexhaustible treas-
ir } ' of riches , especially on those days
when your ideas ruu scarce , and you are
too busy to take time to evolve a good
advertisement.
