CONTEST FOR MAIL CONTRACT
&ilroidi io After This LvoratiT Job tat
tha OoTtnmtBt
Turlington expects to win again
After Tireitr Tears at l'Bletmrbe
Service Hill Officiate Bdlm
Ther Will Reetere '
the Frlae.
For tha contract to carry Uncle Bam'a
mall from Oman to Chicago and from
Chicago to Omaha tha rallroada are agaiu
bout to engage In a many war. For tha
lost twenty years the Burlington baa been
recognised aa tha mall carrying road Xor
the government and baa been able to
bold the contract against all oonteetanta.
To hold this contract tha Burlington now
runs four ezclualva mail trains between
Omaha and Chicago each day, twe eacb
ay, and these carry tha bulk of tha
transcontinental mail. Other roads bare
looked with envious eyes on this business,
which carries with it prestige and revenue,
Fast trains have been put on the North
western and Rock Island la former yAra
to try for the contrast, but ail to no avail,
or tha Burlington still oontlnuee as toe
toad for the transcontinental mail.
The time is again appreaobJng for new
contracts ta be made and the ojiisr roads
have again entered the field. Tha Reck
Island sometime ago put an a new ezclualva
mail train, whloh left Chicago earlier than
the Burlington and saved an heur's time
by picking up tha mall from several eastern
connections at Englewoed, a amall con
fieotlng point In the outskirts af Chicago.
TTils saved the time of carrying the mall
Into Chloasro and back again ta Englewood,
and also the time lost In carrying tha mall
across Chicago In wagons, whloh also took
considerable time. W ith this great saving
the Rock Island officials figured they bad
a chance at tha coveted contract.
Effort of Northwestern.
Tha Northwestern - also has soma fast
trains on Its double track read and a new
time card la out, effective Sunday, stating
that No. 10 would leave Omaha each even'
tng at 5:56, Instead of at 1:28, aa formerly.
This la taksn as an Indication that the
Northwestern Is after tha big bunch of
tnall to tha east which leaves Omaha at
that time. The Burlington haa been get
ting that mall an Its exclusive fast mall
train which leave Council Bluffs at ( p.
rn. A change baa been made by tha Union
facing by which that read now brings In
most of tbe mall from tha west on No.
10. which la a counterpart of tha neted
No, 9 which carries tha mall west each
slay. No. 10 arrives at Omaha at 6 p. ra..
tha aama aa formerly, but leavea San Fran
cisco three hours later than before, and
carriea tha bulk of the mall which haa
tteen coming through an tha Overland Lim
ited. Tha Northwestern la evidently after
a share of this mall.
Burlington efflotale claim they do net
(ear the oompetltlon of tha other roads,
a they can run their trains aa fast aa
' tha government officials desire. Although
. little has been said on the subject, the
Burlington haa been busy double tracking
Its Chicage-Omaha line until at present It
. haa a double track all tha way, except for
,'about twenty miles. With tha prestige af
' tiavlng successfully and satisfactorily oar
: ried the mall for twenty years, Burlington
Officials claim they have no fear.
Although the time card Is out with the
. Northwestern a new train, a rumer was
' afloat Saturday noon that the officials had
I changed their minds and decided not to
'Change the running time of No. 10. ;
Scheme to Omit Omaha.
The Northwestern also has another prop-
ltion by which It proposes ta shorten, the
running distance of tha fast mall trains
' from Chicago to tha Pacific ceast. That la
to leave Omaha off tha route and run Its
fast mall train from Missouri Valley direct
to Fremont to connect with tha Union Pa-
oiflo and thus save thirty-four miles of
running. The -distance from Missouri Vai
ley to Omaha Is twenty-five miles and
from Omaha to Fremont Is forty-six miles,
making a total of seventy-one miles. The
distance from Missouri Valley to Fremont
Is thirty-seven miles, making a saving of
. thirty-four miles.
TWO BOYS, IN TIGHT PLACE
Lad VlUm Forge E assurers' Order
fa Qui aai Cham Before
Javeeli Oawrt.
Laroy Bassett, a colored boy af IB. and
Carl Rlsse. a white boy, were before the
Juvenile court Saturday morning charged
with working a clever scheme by means of
whloh they got two rifles and two revolv
ara for Christmas presents. Bassett works
for tha Richardson Drug oompany aa "buy
out" boy. lie secured a copy of, a blank
ardar tor merchandise to be bought of an
outside firm and taking the Rinse boy Into
bla confidence, secured the firearms on the
strength of the order. His employers did
not discover what he had done until the
Walter li. Clark company aent them a bill
for tST, the value of the goods.
Bassett made a full confession to Judge
Sutton of the juvenile court, but the Risse
boy denied having any guilty knowledge.
Ha admitted helping get tha goods, but he
aid ha did not know anything about tha
forged order. Judge Button will keep tbe
boys in jail until next week, when he will
decide the case.
Al Westerrard. a youth who lives at
Thirty-third and Decatur streets, waa be
fore the court charged with atriklng Mrs.
W. Royce with his fist and knocking her
down. Both Mr. and Mrs. Royce testified
the boy had been In the bsblt of throwing
biiokbaU at them and It waa while engaged
In this he had his trouble with her. He
denied striking her, but admitted ha pushed
her and shs fell down. Judge Button In
tlmated he would deal very severely with
a boy who would strike a woman, but aa
tha evidence waa conflicting he decided to
give him another chance and paroled him
to Conen Bell.
Lsllle Hull, daughter of Ivery Hult, who
haa been In jail for several montba on a
statutory charge affecting his daughters,
but who haa recently been discharged, was
In court, as tha juvenile authorttlea are
convinced her mother la not tha proper per
son to have custody of her. The proba
tion officers are now convinced the charge
against Mr. Hult were trumped up by the
wife and her oonduot Is being looked Into.
Judge Button allowed the girl to go with
her mother until a suitable place for her
to live la found for her.
