UNION PACIFIC CUTS TIME
Laps Off Fi?t Hoari Betwaen Omaha and
Ogden from a. ail Trail.
FIGHT FOR CONTRACT ON IN EARNEST
Central Lines Determined to Beat
Santa Fe to loa Anueles itar
HnKton Makes Important
Changes.
The fight for the contract of carrying
United States mail across the continent Is
on in earnest between the transcontinental
dnes. The first move In that direction
which has been made public is the an
nouncement that the Union Pacific will
shorten the running time of its fast mull
train between Omaha and Ogden nearly
five hours. The train now leaves Omaha at
6:55 a. m. and reaches Green River at 8:20,
and under the new schedule, which will bo
effective Junuary 1. the train will leave
Omaha at 1:56 p. m. and reach Green River
at 8:55, thus leaving Omaha four hours and
forty-five minutes later than formerly and
arriving at Green River one hour and thirty
minutes later than now. The rest of the
time will be made up between Green River
and Ogden, so that a saving of nearly live
hours will bo made between Omaha and
Ogden.
It Is thought this difference in time will
be able to take the Los Angeles mall away
from the Santa Fe, although the fight Is
being manipulated from Chicago and not
much is known about It In Omaha. The
change In the time of the mall east on the
Burlington waa made so the Los Angeles
mall, which Is to be brought In on the Ixa
Angeles Limited, can be hurried on across
Iowa. The fight Is now on and the Bur
lington and Union Pacific officials will leave
no stone unturned to utilize the exceljent
tracks which these roads possess to hurry
the mall across the continent.
Roads In the Fight.
As announced in The Bee last week the
fight is to be made by the Pennsylvania
between New York and St. Ixuils, the Mis
souri Pacific between St. Lrfiuls and Kansas
City and the Santa Fe between Kansas City
and Loa Angeles against the present route,
which Is the New York Central & Lke
Shore roads to Chicago, the Burlington
from Chicago to Omaha and the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific on to the
coast.
The government rules provide that mall
matter must be weighed every four jears
and from that weighing the compensation
Is determined. Speed, however, Is the main
item, although many other matters are
considered, such as ability to provide the
necessary equipment and power.
Although the government has as yet made
no move tn the matter. It is well known
that the road with' the fastest time has all
the advantage. The announcement of the
change In time on the other roads on this
present route has not reached Omaha.
Two Sew Burlington Trains.
Several Important changes In time for the
fast mall train, as well as the announce
ment of two additional trains between
Omaha and Lincoln, have been announced
by the Burlington road, the change ef
fective Sunday.
The fast mail train No. 7 will arrive
from Chicago at 1:37 p. m., one hour
earlier than formerly, and will catch tho
Union Pacific fast mall train No. 9. whloli
will leave Omaha at 1:56 p. m. Instead of at
8:65 as formerly.
Burlington fast mall No. II will lenve
Council Bluffs at 11:) p. m.. receiving the
overland mall from the I.os Angeles Lim
ited on the Union Pacific, which reaches
Omaha at 10:45 p. m.
Fast mall No. IS wilt leave Chicago
about p. m.. twenty minutes later than
now, and reach Omaha about 8:55 and will
connect with No. 11 on ttie Union Pacific,
which Is tho Colorado fast train.
Another train Ins been added by the Bur
lington between Omaha and Llncotn, which
will leave Omaha at :15 a. tn. and arrive
at Lincoln at 10:36. overhauling the first
Omaha Lincoln train, which will le.'ve
Omaha at 8 a. m.. or fifteen minutes earlier
than now. This train will make all con
nections from the south, west and north
west. Another new train has been added be
tween Lincoln and Omaha which will leave
Lincoln at 7:30 a. m. and arrive In Omaha
at a. m.
No. 7, the afternoon train for Lincoln,

No Secrets
To Hide
We have nothing to conceal; no secrets
to hide! We publish the formulas
of all our medicines. You will
find these in Ayer's Almanac for
1906; or write us and we will send
them to you. Then show the formulas
to your doctor, and ask him what
he thinks of them. If he says they
are good medicines, then use them.
If he has anything better, then use
his. Get well as soon as you can,
that's the point!
