These are tlifr days of Improvement In the
railway mall service , nnil Postmaster Clark-
ion la imrdonably jubilant over the turn
aBalra have taltcn for hl patrons. It was
L foregone conclusion when the Northwestern
put on Its fast mall from Chicago to Mis
souri Valley that the Burlington would nol
porinll Us old time rival to carry oK both
the loaves and the fishes , and the moment
the Northwestern announced that It would
arrive In Missouri Valley at 1:45 : p. rn. , leav
ing Chicago at 3 a. m. , the Burlington people
ple began flouring upon Bhortentng up the
time ol the- arrival of their fast mall , and yes
terday alterncon the benefit of the new
service was felt t y the people of Oniahn
In the business district.
The moment Major Clarkson ascertained
that the Durllngton would thortcn Its time
ha asked permission ot the Chicago office
to place two men ot hla department to work
the mall for Omaha business houses while
en route , tying and resacklng the. matter , so
that the carriers would only have to route
the mall before leaving the office. This ro-
queif was .granted , and yesterday morning
two of I'ORtmaster Clark son's men left for
Crcston , where they met the fast mall on the
tlurllngton and worked the Omaha mail
Into Omaha. The moment the mall arrived
on this side It was hustled Into a wagon
and placed In the Omaha office ten minutes
alter Its arrival. Five minutes after It was
routed by the carriers , and within an hour
was placed In the hands , of business men ,
thereby permitting them to answer their
eastern mall In lime to make either the Mil
waukee , leaving at C o'clock , the Northwest
ern at G:45 : p. m. , or the Ilurllngton at 7:15 :
p. m. Thla departure will work materially
for the good ol Omaha , business men , saving
fourteen hours In the receipt of mall and
twenty-four hours In the answering.
Under the new schedule the Burlington ar
rives on this side ol the river about 4:30 ,
allowing ; time for switching , etc. , on the
Council Illuffs side. Heretofore the east
ern mall for Omaha has como locally , via
Pacific Junction , but with the new order of
things the fast mall runs solid Into Omaha ,
and by the time It reaches here Is back
stamped , tied Into packages and addressed
to ( he carriers of the various routes In the
business district , carriers only being re
quired to route the. bundles. In addition
to the eastern mall , which heretofore was
not delivered until the morning after Its ar
rival , carriers also deliver the Union Pacific
transcontinental mall and the mall over the
I3urllngton system eastbound. These two
malls from the west were Bent out by car
rier at 4:40 : p. m. , but the arrival of the
eastern mall will hold the carriers ten min
utes , permitting them , however , to get out
atj4:50 : p. in. with three big malls.
Dut there Is still another surprise In store
for * the business men of Omaha. Unless
Indications are materially at fault , by next
Sunday the Htirllngton will run Us west
bound fast mall Into Omaha at 3 o'clock.
making tlio time between Chicago and
Omaha In twelve hours , and giving business
men their eastern mall by 3:30 or 4 o'clock
at I lie outside. There Is no Intention en
the part of the Durllngton to bo worsted
In thls fight , and the Northwestern will ba
lvwn the run of Its life unless all signs

CHICAGO , Nov. E. Unless the Canadian
Pac-'flc road changes Its attitude toward the
llnis ol the Western Passenger association
within a short tlmo It will likely have on
Its hands ono ol the biggest lights that It
Is ever likely to encounter. At the meet-
ln In New York last week , the Canadian
Pacific Insisted that 11 be given 23 per cent
of f all the westbound emigrant ) business
coming through the port of Now York , and
destined for points -west of St. Paul. The
western roads would not acknowledge that
It was entitled to any portion of this buil-
'
.ness , but In the Interest of harmony offered
It IE per cent. This the Canadian Pacific
refused absolutely and furthermore refused
to entertain any proposition looking toward
arbitration. The western roads then de
clared they would meet the commissions on
westbound emigrant business , which are
being paid by the Canadian Pacific , and apply
them to Canadian ports , as well ns those on
the Atlantic seaboard. The regular com
mit ! Ion from New" York to St. Paul Is $3,80 ,
and the Canadian Pacific has been paying
JG on each ticket. The western lines have
finally Induced the trunk lines to sea the
matter In the- same light an they look at
It and the trunk lines and the western
roads wll hereafter Bland together on this
proposition. The commissions of the Cana
dian Pacific are now being met by the
western roads. The Grand Trunk has also
decided that It will tnke sides with the
western roads , and make a fight against the
Canadian Pacific , If that line cannot be In
duced to clvo up some of Us demands. If
the fight once begins It will be all the
American roads against the Canadian Pa
cific , with the Grand Trunk acting as the
ally ol the American road ? . The struggle
will not bo confined to emigrant rates alone ,
but a strong effort will bo made to keep
the Canadian Pacific out of all freight busi
ness originating In the western states.
Chairman CaMwell of the Western Pas
senger association today received notice from
the Minneapolis & St. Louis road that it
will , on November 12 , cease to be a member
of the Western Passenger association. It
will , however , continue to be a member ot
the emigrant agreement. No especial rea
son la given for the withdrawal , but It Is
generally surmised that this road , now that
It Is no longer under the central of Ilia Hock
Island , finds It necessary to pull out of the 1
association In order to protect Its Interests
In the northwest. The Wisconsin Central ,
which la not a nicmber of the association , is
free to cut rates at any time It may elect ,
and Minneapolis & St. Louis , as a mem
ber of the association , would hardly bo In a
position to me-et competition promptly II
the Wisconsin Central should see fit to put
In a reduced Urlfl sheet. The Minneapolis.
& St. Louis In giving Its noticeof -with
drawal says , however , that It has no Inten
tion ol taking any action which may de
moralize rates In any part ot the association
territory. .

CHICAGO , Nov. 5 , Judge Grosscup ren
dered a decision against the packers today In
the case of the "Dig Four" packers Swift ,
Armour , Morris and Hammond against the
railroads to recover money alleged to have
bccrt > taken from them In excessive rates on
meats shipped to the east from Chicago.
Among : the rends who are defendants to
the suit are the Philadelphia & Heading.
Nlclcle Plate , Delaware , Lackawanna &
Western , Qrand Trunk and eight other trunk
lines to the east. The amounts which the
packers' seek to recover from the roada ng-
greRata .about (5,000,000 ( , and are based on
shipments running back through a long
period of years.
Judge Grosscup practically held to his
formal decision In the case , holding that In
the absence ol national law applicable to
the case the packers could nol recover on
the grounds that the rates were unreason
able.

The adjourned meeting of the shareholders

though Henry Wollman put the directors
to the trouble of voting down several series
of resolutions offered In behalf of the pro-
teetlves. The first of these- commanded the
board of directors to report by what author
Ity the Income bonds ol the company were
converted Into second mortgage bonds and
asking how much Interest was paid ontheso
bonds and where the money came from.
This net of resolutions was simply referred
to the board of directors. Then Mr. Well
man offered another bunch of directions i
to the directors about reporting how much '
money had bein paid to any officer of ths
company , exclusive of salary , since 1889 , and
for what purpose. Mr. Wollman also
wanted to know how much had been paid out
as commissions and to whom and what for.
These Instructions to the board of directors
were also referred by vote to the board ol
directors despite Mr. Wollman's protest.
Mr , Wollman next offered the resolutions ,
Newman E'b tried to submit to the previous '
meeting , telling the board of directors to
report what amount of "so-called" second
mortgage bonds were withdrawn from the
trustee for specific Improvements and how
much was used for specific purposes and for
what purposes ; and what sums of money
were disbursed and securities hypothecated
within sixty days prior to the appointment
of receivers. These Instructions were also
turned over to the board.

MILWAUKEE ! , Nov. 5. Judge Jenkins
made an order today terminating the North
ern Pacific branch line receiverships nnd
authorizing the Northern Pacific receivers
to lease tlio lines and operate them , The |
so-called "Western committee" will leave
St. Paul tomorrow night In Mr. Payne's
special car to go over the entire system and
make the leases with the various companies ,
The leases provide that the receivers nre
to take possession of tlio property , pay all
expenses and turn over all surplus In earn
ings to the Farmers Loan and Trust com
pany. Judge Jenkins made special Inquiry
about the clause providing for the payment
oC deficiencies by the receivers. William
Nelson Cromwell explained to the court that
the question ot paying a deficiency was a
matter of small Importance compared with
the Usneflts to be derived from the leasing
of the lines. Ho said thata the twenty-
"
two roads constitute nearly "halt of the
Northern Pacific system and gave It a third
of Its business. The main line , he ex
plained , would earn (2,000,000 a year from
the business furnished from In ? branches ,
and the receivers could well afford to pay
n deficiency of J100.000 or $200.000 If It
should occur. There were bonds to the
amount of $60,000,000 on the branch lines ,
he said , on which no Interest hail been
paid for a year or two , and none could be
paid In the Immediate future , and the re-
cclvers got the- benefit of that Investment.

PLEADS GUILTY TO ARSON
Hammond's ' Kight Watchman Sot the Tire
in the Box Boom ,
CONFESSION YESTERDAY IN JUSTICE COUhT
ixpcrtc : < l to nln Promotion by SInnrlnR
lilt Viglli'tice In Turning In an Alarm
So Soon Otlicr Atomic
City New * .
Emery Caulson , who for fifteen months
has been employed as night watchman by
the Hammond company , has confessed to
arson In storting the lire In the box room
Sunday night.
The story of the second fire Is a peculiar
one. Miles Mitchell , who at one tlmo was
a South Omaha policeman , Is now employed
as watchman at the Hammond plant.
Mitchell works In the day time. At the
suggestion of Captain Cannell ha began to
work on Caulson as the person who had
started the fire. When Mitchell entered
Paulson's room yesterday morning , In pack-
ng liouso parlance , he went at the fellow
"raw" and accused him of doing the Job ,
Caulson at first denied the charge , but
finally gave In and admitted that he did
the Job1 In the hope of securing promotion.
Ills statement , as made to Mitchell , was
that he wanted to do something to Impress
the management of the plant that he was
on the alert at all times. He first secured
a small can of gasoline and went Into the
building and poured It over the- pile of boxIng -
Ing boards. Ho then left the plant , and
carrs'lng the empty con for almost a block ,
threw It away. He then went back to the same
room , and after pouring out some of the
oil from his lantern over the boards and
setting a match , ran and turned In an
alarm.
Charlc-J A. Felch , timekeeper at the plant ,
questioned Caulson Sunday night about the
fire. Caulson told him that that day he
had setn a man In the box room channlng
his clothes nnd that later another man came
and took away the clothes , and he supposed
the latter set the fire. Felch told Caulson to
stay about the building and keep a close
watch. Later Caulson was found missing
and was found not nt his own home , but at
that of his mother-in-law. This caused sus
picion that Caulson set the fire.
yesterday morning Caulson was taken to
Manager Noyes * office , where he denied hnv-
Ing any knowledge as to how the fire started.
He was later placed under arrest and In
the afternoon was token to Omaha to
the office of County Attorney Knley. Here
he confessed to Felch that he set the tire
and at 5 o'clock he pleaded guilty In Justlrc
Long's court to arson , having assigned the
reasons that have been stated. He Is 22
years old , has a wlfo and two children and
has been a trusted employe. He said that
lie hoped to get some favor from the man
agers by showing that he discovered the
( Ire so soon and turned In an alarm.
The penalty for arson Is from ono to
twenty years In the penitentiary.
There Is no suspicion that Caulson had
anything to do with Friday's fire.
The Hammond company expects to have f-e
new beef slaughtering building completed
before January 1. L. A , Davis , Its architect ,
Is already on the ground , drawing plans for
the new building , which will be identical
with the old. It will cost about $100,000.
Intfrostr < l In Today.
Mora Interest Is manifested In the election
In South Omaha this year than for years
past , The corporation managers have made
every effort to force democrats In their employ
to vote for Major : . Last night a crowd of
men working at the stock yards got on horses
nnd went to Omaha In a body , carrying ban
ners bearing the names of Majors and Sut-
ton. The majority of these men are demo
crats. Councilman 'Walters , who is yardmaster -
master at the stock yards and who has re
peatedly received favors at the hands of
the democratic party , was one of the mar
shals in the gang.
The county commissioners took off certain
Holcomb men from the list submitted and
recommended by the city council. Mayor
Johnson said he knew that certain changes
had been made , but denied that ho was a
party to It. Members of the council all de
nied being a party to the outrage. None but
Holcomb men nera removed.
Mayor Johnson has appointed the following
special police to act today : Joe Hum pal ,
Frank Stlka , Mike O'Hern. Mike Hagley ,
Mike Herod. William. McKay , , Pat Condon
and Matt McKane.

LITTLE CHILDREN.
They Often Suffer Tcr.ibly
Through Ignorance.
UNKNOWN TO PARENTS.

What n common thing It Is to sec children ,
many of them small children , who have
blotches , sores and breakings out of various
klnJsTli ceo troubles arc commonly at
tributed to some disorder or taint of the
blood. Formerly the parents gave sulphur
and molasses , more latterly almost anything
of which they mny hear.
It Is a great mistake to think that thcic
children's troubles arise from diseased Tjlood ,
It Is not true. Their little bodies are not
hardened and strong , their digestion Is not
always good , nnd especially , In nearly every
case , are their kidneys nnd urinary organs
weak and often Inactive , This Is the source
ot their trouble , and parents will realize It
If they only stop to think. How often have
you had proofs that your child's kidneys were
weak ? If the kidneys ure not strong and ac
tive they do nol throw the poisons Irotn the
blood , and hence these poisons break out In
sores. And yet It Is so cnay to keep their
little bodies In good healthy condition. Chil
dren are uMully active and playful , and with
a little help , even the slightest assistance.
they can bo kept healthy and their Mood
pure ,
Them Is a great preparation , which Is the
most popular in use today , but which 1ms.
for Eonir strange reason , been considered
principally good for grown-up people Per
haps tills Is because It has such unusual
power , but while It Is true that It Is- power
ful , It Is so simple , EO harmless , that even a
babe can take It without injurious effects.
We refer to Warner's Safe Cure , which Is
a purely vegetable preparation , and wholly
harmless In every respect. It act& healthily
on the principal organs of the body , but cspsc-
lally on the kidneys nnd urinary organs , and
Us effects can bo felt within a few hours. Little
children who are ailing , who seem out of
sorts , who have eruptions , cannot be cured
except by going to the source of trouble.
Read what one mother soys :
"At 3 years of nge my boy was taken with
kidney trouble of the worst form. After
using everything I could get that I thought
would benefit him , and receiving no perma
nent relief , I was Induced to try Warner's
Safe Cure. I gave him three bottles of It
and ho was completely cured He Is now II
years of ngc , strong and healthy. Sirs. D.V. .

The above shows conclusively the great
efficiency of the remedy for both adults or
children. It has no equal.

More from force of habit than from any other
cause , we speak of overcoats on a chilly and
drizzling day. However , it might prove interesting
estingto you. There are more buyers this year
in search of bargains than ever known from the
days of the Pilgrims down.
The Nebraska approves of this. Buy cheaply
but be sure it is cheap. To know where to buy "M
is an important item. Scan all newspapers , clip
all miraculous incidents of purchasers or other
wonderful tales of daring advantages required
to secure a dozen or'so overcoats , and of some
-I
hairbreadth escapes some experienced while 4

making a daring plunge of an offer .for a whole i.l
manufacturer some 17 overcoats in all. Goby
all means and investigate examine prices and
quality a most eloquent salesman will , no
doubt , help you to get the best of the bargain.
When you are through , give us your time for
a minute ; come ia to the ever humble Nebtaska.
We hav'nt any moquette carpets , plate mirrors ,
neither eloquent and persuading salesmen , but
honest overcoats to be sold honestly , and loads of
"em to select from , We don't handle any so-
called half price Roods , but we can furnish vou an
overcoat for TWO SEVENTY-FIVE of
good chinchilla , Italian lined , warm and durable ,
that'll cost you $5 oo anywhere. A long , deep
collar Melton Ulster , wool lined in two shades at
FOUR DOLLARS for which other stores

Here are other coats and ulsters finer ; finer
slill and the finest to be had. Can't possibly
dream of a style or sort you can't get here at a
good , healthy saving on each one. From $2.00
up to $10,00 5s what you save he/e. If we mis
