Postmaster Sixer of Lincoln discussed the
relations between the public and the post
master. He said the latter official came
in more contact with the. people than any
other government officer, and to prove it
produced original letters received and told
a number of stories, some of which were
new and fresh. A postmaster, according
to Mr. Sixer, has to be an encyclopedia
of general information, running all the
way from freight rates to the addresses
of young women.

Hitchcock to tell another one that referred
to raiment. He then proceeded to discuss
postal savings banks in all seriousness, say
ing that it was the duty of the government
to establish them and pointing to their en
tire success in foreign countries. One thing
Mr. Hitchcock said was: "I am out of
politics Knd expect to stay out of politics."

Kramer told some of the difficulties of

Since there seems to t but little pro'T-ct
of tlie a vlna or repavlnR of Tenty-fourth
street or the paving of Missouri avenue this
year, owing to law suits, protests and re
monstrances, attention Is now beinf turned 1
to the needs of the people In the southern
jrl of the ci'. It is generally admitted
that there is no immediate prospect of a
viaduct being built over the tracks at F
atrt, as there is no great demand for
such a bridge. The railroads have assured
the city that Just as s.on as the trackage
warranted a bridee at F street one would
te built without the necessity of ordinances
or In compliance of demands.
What Is wanted now is the bridge across
the tracts at I" street to Twenty-seventh
and T streets. This stems to be the
easiest thing to get Jutt now and the jople
are clamoring for this improvement. As it
ia now the district directly west of Twenty
luurth and I' streets practically is shut oflt.
In ord'-r to reach any portion of this lo
cality one must go to J'fferson street or
else cress the (J street viaduct and drive or
walk uj and down hill over unpaved roads.
A bridge would be a great convenience, and
this will most likely be brought about dur
ing the current year. The assertion has
been made that JuFt aa sjon as the rail
roads can get around to it this bridge will
I- built. Councilman Adklna is interesting
himself in this matter and has had a num
1t of conferences with the railroad offl
dala. He Infers from what has bwn said
that Just as Boon as the railroad officials
can look over the ground that the U street
viaduct will lie built. While the proposed
bridge will be a long one. It will not le
nearly as expensive as the Q street viaduct.
Miller ftella Propertr.
E. T. Miller has sold his property at
Twenty-seventh and N streets and has
bought farm land in Iowa with the pro
ceeds. Mr. Miller haa been engaged in the
hotel and restaurant business in South
Omaha for many years and is one of the
best known business men in the city. Re
garding his sale Mr. Miller said last night:
"I have disposed of my property at Twenty
seventh and N streets, but the purchaser
will not occupy the premises until Decem
ber 1 of this year. W hile I have bought
a half section of land In Iowa for a feeding
farm, I do not intend to give up my resi
dence in South Omaha. My p.-operty at
Twenty-sixth and O streets will be improved
during the present year and in December
I will take charge of it and establish a
restaurant and first-class lodging house."
fewer Gas Again,
Tuesday morning the big jail room was
so full of s-wer gas that the prisoners had
to tie taken to another department. This
was caused by the clogging of the sewer i
leading from the jail to the X street sewer. I
The heavy fains have filled some of the
sewers with rubbish and the clogging was
the consequence. After casting about for
means of relief Chief BrigiJS afcked Chief
Garrett of the fire department to help him
out. Garrett showed up with a line of hose
and a few jpen and proceeded to pour
enough water Into the sewer to wash away
the obstructions. During the afternoon the
jail waa again inhabitable for prisoners,
although it was a trifle damp for .those
who hd been raised aa p.t.

The joint committee from the Commer
cial club, the Omaha Grain exchange and
the South Omaha Live Stock exchange,
which went to Chicago to confer with rail
way officials In protest against the pro-
I posed Great Northern cut-off. has returned.
The members are pleased with the results
of their trip. In an interview with Darius
Milltr, Hills manager at Chicago, and Mr.
Crosby, freight traffic manager of the Bur
lington system, they were given assurance
that no final decision would be made re
garding the location of the cut-off without
their knowledge.
The memtiers of the committee were:
E. K. Bruce. J. E. Baum and E. J. McVann
of the Commercial club, A. H. Merchant,
A. B. Jaquith and Xels Vpdlke of the grain
exchange; and J. G. Halght and J. B.
Blanchard of the live stock exchange of
tH'Uih Omaha. Relative to the result of
the conference they gave out the following
statement :
The committee was well received by
Darius Miller, first vice president of the
Hill lines. Mr. Crosby, freight traffic man
ager ol the Burlington sstem, was present
al our conference. Mr. Miller met us in a
lair spirit and gave earnest and serious
I consideration to our statement of the posi-
iion oi tlie bodies we represented with re
elect to the cut-off. ' Mr. Miller slated
positively that the location of tne line had
not yet tieen settled upon by the Great
N'ori.'.ern people, that several preliminary
surwys had been maue. and that Louis W.
Hiil was now going over liie ground, and
that the hnal reports of Hie engineers w ouid
cover the two routes, one direct from
Sioux City to Omaha and one I rum Sioux
City to Ashland, with a spur to Omaha
from some practical junction. We urged
strongly on Mr , Miller the importance to
omuoa of having the line built directly in
from Sioux City and the fact that our
Jieople were unanimous in their desire to
i.avu it done and that any extra cost of
doing ao would Lie amply comenaated for
by toe increased business that would come
to the road on account of the friendship
and good will of Omaha.
We believe Mr. Milier was Impressed by
our arguments and by our representations
as to tne unanimity and sincerity of the
views ol our people as to the importance of
bringing tne proposed line directly into
Omaha. After going over all phases of the
subject, during a friendly conference of
two hours duration, Mr Miller stated that
the two surveys ithe Ashland to Sioux
City and the Omaha to Sioux City) would
be submitted soon by the engineers and a
decision made Mr. Bruce then asked If
Mr. Miller would agree, before the decision
was finally made, to meet this committee
and go over both surveys, and Mr. Miller
said he would lie very glad to do so. With
this understanding the conference was
closed.
Discussing the matter among ourselves
afterward, we agreed that the results of
the conference were favorable in two re
spects: 1. We have the specific and repeated as
surance of Mr Miller that no decision has
teen reached as yet as to the location of
the line.
We have Mr. Miller's assurance that
we will tie granted the opportunity of going
over the whole question, with all the data
in hand, showing conclusively all the facts
as to the cost of construction and opera
tion. We have little doubt as to the out
come of this last conference, because we
know that a practicable line can be con
structed from Omaha to Rioux City at but
little more cost than Ashland tio Sioux
City, and that the Hill Fystem will not con
sider the additional cost for a moment as
against the friendship and business of
Omaha and South Omaha.
