which would bo upon the shoulders ot a

When one considers what a vast territory
Is covered by even two roads this can bo
understood. They may extend through en
tirely different parts of the country and In
a score ot different states, all with differ

George T. Kllnk, general auditor of the
Southern Pacific railway, who Is now In
Omaha attending a conference ot auditors,
gives considerable credence to the reported
reduction of expenses In all departments of
railroading, which, It Is said, will be the
chief result of the recent and universal
establishment ot "community of Interest"
In these properties.
This Idea Is the latest version ot tho
"probable results" stories which havo ap
peared so frequently and In such quantities
since the goneral pooling of railroads
throughout this country became an ac
knowledged fact. That the heads of the
combinations aro aiming straight at a re
duction of expenses all along the line
through definite channels of procoduro is
tho theory which Is now being widely agi
tated. The system Is completely mapped out by
the prognosticates and the exact course
which the pruning will tako Is cut and dried
In advance. It Is asserted that four depart
ments of railroading will be operated upon
In this manner. They are the traffic depart
ment, tho executlvo department, tho operat
ing department and the business office sec
tion. Economy will be visited upon these
different divisions In different degrees, but
tending In nil to the samo end, the lessening
of tho stuff of officials and employes and the
nbollilon ot separate, operations for the dif
ferent member lines of the same system In
all departments named.

Altuncc Offer Renewed,
It. S. Mann, secretary ot the Forest Lawn
Cemetery association, has In his posesston
a fine gold medal, designed for presenta
tion by the Nebraska Humane society to
Sergennt Daniel E. Davis of the police
force. During the year 1900 the society
had suspended at the police station an an
nouncement that It would bestow a gold
modal upon tho policeman whose efforts
should bring about the greatest number ot
convictions for offenses against the hu
mane laws of the state, which lan a are de
signed for the discouragement ot cruelty
to animals, women and children.
The society experienced some difficulty
In securing the data upon which to make
the bestowal, and out of its effort In that
direction arose the troubles of Oscar Kar
bach, late Bertlllon officer at the head
quarters of the chief of police. When tho
society applied to Chief Donahue for a
statement of the number of arrests under
the humane law, tho chief requested Kar
bach to compile the desired Information.
Ills failure to comply with this request
was one of tho causes which resulted In
his suspension.
It has been ascertained that Sergeant
Davis was entitled to the trophy, which
will be presented In a day or two, prob
ably by Dr. Georgo L. Miller, president of
tho humane society. It Is a medallion
something over an Inch In diameter, en
circled by a heavy band, nnd Is suspended
from a bar pin which bears the name of the
recipient. Upon the face of tho medal
Is engraved the monogram of the society,
encircled by the name In full, "Nebraska
Humana Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty." On the reverse side of the
medal Is tho Inscription, "Awarded to
Daniel 15. Davis, sergeant of police, Omaha.
Neb., for making the largest number of
arrests resulting In convictions during the
year ending July 1, 1901."
Tho society has posted an offer of an
other medal for the current year.

"It Is so hot In Chicago that many of the
dray horses aro wearing straw hats," said
F. E. Kingsbury, who returned Wednesday
from tho Illinois city. "Drivers havo pro
vided their horses with a straw head cov
ering, which looks something llko n hat.
It has holes In It for tho ears and Is fas
tened on by a strap underneath tho throat.
"The heat In Chicago Is unbearable.
Among the high buildings tho nlr Is stifling
and even In tho parks tho heat Is very op
presslve. Women and children throng the
parks during tho entire day. Breezes from
the lake are the only salvation for the poo-
plo who live In the heart of tho city and
these can bo had only where there are
breathing ploccs."
The evidence gathered at tho weather office
yesterday morning gave no hope of Imme
dlate relief. There Is less of tho potent
element of humidity mixed up In the situ
ation, however, and, although the temper
ature Is considerably higher than yester
day, there Is no greater suffering. The
State Senator W. W. Young of Stanton,
Neb., Is In the city nnd will leave In a few
days, accompanied by his wife, for the
Buffalo exposition, following with n tour of
thu St. Lnwrencc and southward to Boston.
Senator Young has ono of the best farms
In uorthenitern Nebraska. "If tho farmers
had complete control over sun nnd rain,"
said Senator Young, "they could not have
mado an adjustment more favorable for
crops. Moisture has succeeded heat In a
way to bring about Ideal crop conditions.
I have never seen morn fair prospects any
where for an abundaut harvest.
"Wc regard wheat and other small grain
beyond the reach of harm, but there Is still
a chance for damage to corn. Tho only
crop failure we ever had In northeast Ne
braska was In 1894, when the outlook on
July 15 was as good as It Is today. I had
300 acres In corn that year and 1 gathered
Just 300 bushels. There Is very little chnncn
for hot winds In our section, however, as
tho rivers are running full. When a hot
wind strikes tho Inverted cono of vapor
which arises from tho I'lattc, for cxamplo,
It Is modified Into a salubrious breeze. Our
vicinity has protection of this sort from tho
Missouri, tho I'lattc and the Elkhorn."
Other stnlo politicians, among whom were
Stoto Chairman Harry Lindsay and Vice
Chairman Frank H. Young, called upon
Senator Millard. The committee officials
