PRETTY GIRLJURNS HOBO
aid to lie the First of Her Sea to
Mike lorn Joirnrr by
Stealing- Itlde.
An 18-year-old Chicago girl enjoys tho
distinction of being the first of her sex
to make a long journey by stealing a ride
on a freight train. It Is not strictly true
to say that she enjoys this distinction.
An effort In bring made by the Union
Taclflc to secure the co-operation nf the
lumber mm In Iwreaslns the luuils on
lumber from the northwest. In the pust
cam have only avrmgcil a loud of M per
cent of the caparlly, and the announce
ment has been made that unless the volume
per load la Increased the Interested lines
will have to rnlsc the rate to make the
business profitable.
A raise of 10 per cent would make a dif
ference In the net to the I'nion raclflc of
over ILWCfOO. A raise was considered for
May 1. but the ofllclnls of the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern and the Union
Pacific discussed the matter last month
and the result of the conference Is that the
old rale Is to remain In force. This lumber
is hauled over 2,(00 miles and the changing
conditions since the rate was made has re
duced the profit on this business to a mini
mum. Koritlnii ot So Large,
The Union Pacific earnings for March are
not as favorable as was expected, but tho
lack of bUBin"SS Is due to the abnormal
earnings of 1905 rather than to any failure
of traffic this year. Tho gross earnings are
better than a million more than the gross
for tho same month three years ao. All
lines contributed about equally to the earn
ings of March. All local traffic made good
progress and overland freight was consid
erably above the normal, especially east
bound business. The Increase In net earn
ings for the nine preceding months was
$3,600,000, whjch la equal to about 1V4 per
cent of the present outstanding common
stock of the Union Pacific.
The net increase of the road for 1904 was
12.7 per cent; for 1906 it was (.4 per cent
and for 190S It was 17.1 per cent. The large
Increase In the net Is accounted for largely
by the cutting down of the transportation
cost. The winter just pant was mild and
did not entail any extra heavy charges to
keep up the property and the usual heavy
increases In transportation cost have been
lighter than normal. Mr. Mohler Is au
thority for the statement that prospects are
brought for traffic. The lumber tonnage
from the northwest, which is one of the Im
portant items, promises to be heavy and
building material to Ban Francisco from
the east also will be largely increased be
cause of the San Francisco disaster.

John Bond, forging postofflce money order.
William Loy, having a counterfeit silver
dollar In his possession, and trying to puss

Loy Is said to be a "wealthy farmer living
near Lincoln.
The Jury, having completed Ha work for
the week, took an adjournment until t p. m,
Monday,
When her experience was over she de
clared emphatically that a life on the
roiling freiKht did not appeal to her.
'No more hobo life for me:" exclaimed
Miss Sarah Hansen, as she crawled out of
a box ci.r.'
Miss Hansen Is a stenographer. Her
parents llvo in Chicago but she had a Job
In Bt. l-ouls. Thrown out of this by tho
firm's failure, she tried In vain to rind an
other Job.
First her slender savings melted away.
Then she pawned her clothing, piece by
piece, till she had only one suit left. Her
parents were :oor, so that she could not
appeal to them for help.
She did appeal to one of the firm for
whom she had worked, asking him to lend
her the money for a ticket back to Chl
capo. The reply she received made her
decide that anything would be better than
to trust to appeals for help.
She was at the end of her resources,
when it suddenly occurred to her that
she had heard of people traveling without
railway tickets and that what other folks
had done Sarah Hansen could do too. '
On the spur of that Inspiration she made
for the freight yards of. the Chicago &
Alton railroad. There she found an em
barrassment in riches in the line of
freight trains.
They were scooting up and down and
switching back and forth in the most dis
concerting manner, for It was impossible
to this new recruit to the hobo profession
to decide in which direction any one train
would ultimately decide to depart. An
angel In the very unusual disguise of a
small boy appeared and told her that No.
6, on the third track, was the Chicago
freight. That was welcome Information.,
Slipping away from the small boy angel,
Miss Hansen stole along In the shadow of
No. 6 until she came to the ojjen door of
a box car half full of tiles. She climbed
in and crawled Into the corner to await
developments.
These promised to take the unwelcome
shape of two other hoboes, who were not
pretty girls, or even girls at all. One of
them had actually climbed into the car
and had turned to assist his brother
knight of the road, when an approaching
brakeman caused them both to take m
hurried deDarture.
Miss Hansen rode all night on her none
too soft bed of tiles. Morning came and
hour after hour went by without her being
molested. At Jollet she crawled to the
door for the purpose of spying out to land
and discovering her whereabouts.
Instead of discovering, however, she
was herself discovered, for at the door
she came face to face with the brake
man. It was a tossup which of them
was the more disturbed by the encounter.
When the amazed brakeman managed
to demand the why and wherefore of her
presence in his car Miss Hansen burst
Into tears and told him all about it.
"Well," said the brakeman; "I thought
I'd seen every kind o' hobo that ever beat
a freight train, but you're the first lady
hobo that ever came my way!" .. ,
Whereupon, like a gentleman ana a
philanthropist, he emptied his pockets of
their contents, which were SO cents, and
handed the amount to Miss Hansen with
the advice to complete her Journey via
the trolley line. The girl took both the
money and the advice, got herself the first
food she had tasted In twenty-four hours
and departed forever, so she vowed, from
the ranks of the hoboes. New York Sun.
DAHLMAN BELIEVES IN SIGNS
Mayor-Elect is flaprrstltloaa Man and
Does Not Car Who
Knows It.
Omaha's new mayor Is a superstitious
man and doesn't mind admitting It. The
other day he called on Mayor Zlmman to
see how the furniture is arranged in the
offices he will soon occupy. The muyor In
vited the mayor-elect to sit In. the famed
executive chair, but Mr. Dahlman shook
his head. ,
"Why notT" asked Zlmman.
"Might bring bad luck," responded Dahl
man. "I'm a superstitious man, you know.
Never' put the left shoe on first and aU
that sort of thing.
I remember back In 1894, after Bryan
was nominated, a group of us were telling
atorlea one night during a campaign trip.
The talk drifted to ghosts. I didn't have
any ghost stories handy, but I told them
about my superstitions. Among other
things I said I did not think Bryan would
be dented because he was nominated on
Friday. It happened that a Minneapolis
newspaper man was present. A few days
later I chanced to pick up his paper and
the first thing that struck my eye was a
two-oolumn story headed something like
this:
"Bryan's Right-Hand Man Believes in
Hoodoos.'
"Under It was everything In the hoodoo
nd superstitious line a man ever Imagined
and I was held up as a confirmed believer
In the whole creed.
1 see a few newspaper men sitting
around here now, but I don't believe letting
them hear this story will bring me any bad
luck. That sort of thing hasn't, so far."

Mr. H. E. Frederlckson returned yester
day 'morning from an extended trip in the
east. He visited the Bulck factory to
hasten, if possible, the shipment of several
car loads of machines, which have been ex
pected for some time. He said "the factory
has not been able to supply the demands
of the numerous dealers, although its facili
ties are not excelled by any automobile
house throughout the United States and it
Is equipped with an organization of en
glneers and mechanics thoroughly trained
and experienced In autcmoblle construction.
Not only Is this the case at the Bulck fac
tory, but at every other automobile manu
facturing house which I visited." He re
ports everything sold, some of the factories
not even having a demonstrator In stock
and all orders will therefore be very much
delayed. Mr. Frederlckson also visited the
Peerless Motor Car company of Cleveland,
for the purpose of directing personally the
finishing of Mr. Larsen's special built car,
which was ordered last January.
