Announcement Is made that the Union Pacific, beginning Sunday, will again try the experiment of carrying local pesen gers on the Overland Limited trains Nos. I and 2, leaving Omaha at 8:50 a. m. and arriving at Omaha at 9:40 p. m. A limit, however. Is plsoed on the sales, the num ber being regulated by the unsold space of the sleeping cars and the tickets to be old to and from the stations at which these trains are scheduled to stop. These trains are composed only of Pullman cars and the seating capacity Is limited-, but local passengers will be carried where un sold space will perrr.lt. This Is the second backup the Union Pa cific has made within a week on the orders which were Issued about a month ago that local passengers would not be carried on trains Nos. 1, 2, 7 and 9, the Overland Limited and the Los Angeles Limited. Bo treat was the public clamor against this order that a week ago the embargo was removed In regard to the Los Angeles Limited, but that did not satisfy the trav eling public and a second order has now gone forth granting permission to ride on the Overland Limited. Serloas Problem at Haaa. A serious problem confronted tho railroad men. The trains being limited carried no day coaches and were models of luxury. Not only were they the principal trains which went west' from Omaha In the morn ing, but their elegance was an extra In ducement for the public to seek out these trains In preference to (he other, although an extra price was exacted by the Pullman company for seat fare. The railroad men claimed that while the through passengers were at breakfast at Omaha the local passengers would fill up the smoking compartments and the bertha and the rear of the observation car until ! the through passengers, who were at break fast, could find no seats. To remedy this difficulty and protect the through passen gers the order. was Issued that no more local tickets would be honored on these trains. A storm of protests Immediately went up and the railroad soon realized that mistake had been made. The railroads could not well defend Its position, because it did not furnish sufficient local service In the morning to care for the passengers who wished to go west at that time. A train leaves about 7:30 a. m., a alow local, and that was the only morning train. This service did not meet the demand and some thing had to be done. The officials could not see their way clear to put on extra trains to care for the local business, so they had to take the other horn of the dilemma and let the people ride on the limited trains. oath End of lllaola Central. President J. T. Harahan has Issued the twenty-sixth annual report of the Yazoo A Mississippi Valley railroad, this road be ing the southern end of the Illinois Central system, and comprises 1,239 miles of road. The report shows the road to havo been most prosperous. President Harahan says In his report: The gross receipts from traffic during the year were $9,499,669.89, an Increase of 1828,408.66. or 9.56 per cent over the previous year. The net receipts, after deducting operating expenses and taxes, were In creased $114,416,63 over last year. The tons of revenue freight carried In creased 806.919, or 13.84 per cent. The aver age receipts per ton mile decreased from 1.24 mills to 7.50 mills, or 8.98 per cent. This Is due to a greater tonnage of low grade commodities carried this year. The expenses of operation exceeded those of the previous year: In maintenance ot way and Pet. structures by f 29,207.80 or 1.83 In maintenance of equip ment by., 315,677.86 or 30.42 In conducting transporta tion by 333,731.02 or 9.5 In general expenses by.... 11,197.18 or 3.98 , -i SATURDAY BARGAIN LEADERS Elbow Length Real Kid Glves for $2.98 These are fine quality, genuine Kid Gloves all lG-button lengths blacks, tans, white, jr. browns extra spe- Jr fflk cial for Saturday, pair.

Laaafeer Rates from Boat a. Now that the railroads have announced an advance In the rates on lumber from the Paclflo coast, the lumber dealers are lis tening for the first auggestlon from the railroads of a raise In the rates from the south. The dealers believe the railroads will attempt It, If they are successful In putting In effect on November 1 their new tariff on western lumber. But the manu facturers of the Pacific coast have gathered a fund of $XO,000 to fight the advance be fore the Interstate Commerce commit" Ion and In the United Statea courts If need be. An advance In rates from the south would contribute as much to higher prices as the advance from the west, for all the yellow pine used In this part of the country comes from the southern forests.
