Superintendent Davidson Is In receipt of a letter from Miss Kate. T. Bremner, principal of the Albion Road chool. Edin burgh, In which she requests the favor of having some of the work of the Omah schools for the exhibition. Mis Bremner passed through Omaha last summer and met Superintendent Davidson and several other leading edu cators. She also saw some of the clay modeling work and products of the manual training and other departmenta and she carried away wlXh her a very high opinion of the quality of work done In Omaha. The Invltatloln to have a share In the big national exhibition In Edinburgh is the result. Miss Bremner writes a long and cordial letter, for she Is acquainted with Mr. Davidson and his family personally. Among other things she prais American methods and declares she la glad to see that they are being- adopted tt 'Nme ex tent In Scotland. "We are coming tot realise," she say, "that the pupil can derive quite a much good from the preceptor's smile as from the teacher's frown." Accompaylng the letter is a circular of the Scottish National exhibition, which is open from May to Onto be r. The list of patronesses I long and contains such an array of royal names and titles a nearly takes away the breath of the simple cltl sens of a simple democracy. This Impos ing list Is headed by such names as Her Royal Highness the Princess (Royal, Duch ess of Fife and half doxen other royal high nesaes. Then comes a couple of Inches of names of duchesses, a still longer list of most honorable, and right honorablea and many plain ladiea. Superintendent Davidson will have number of specimens of the work of the Itmuhk rhnnla fnrwrriit fur the Aflmtra tlon of the canny Scots at their big exhT bition. iirmnTirarne i Notice!

Keller, Chief Clerk nf Herrlce, fonsmrnda It na Means nf Isa - prnrlna; Wnrk nf HI Department. The proposition for the establishment of a headquarters of the railway mail service in Omaha continues to Impress Itself on the minds of Omaha men a one that carries only good for the city, state and tributary territory, and one that can be adopted with most excellent results to the general gov ernment and the particular service of rail way mail. Speaking of the proposition, ex-Congress man J. I Kennedy said: "This Is the most sensible move which 1 have heard proposed and those responslbra for It are certainly to be commended. "For year th I'ostofflce department has been bound by so much red tape that It would be Impossible to get the department Itself to start such a movement. The de partment does not and will not recognize the growth rnd development In the west. As a bureau it goes on doing things Just as It did twenty years afeo, when, X under stand, the last adjustment of th railway mail service divisions was made. 'We are still running a buckboard be tween Omaha and Benson because the gov ernment department does not know and don't want to know the necessity for im provement. The pressure must be brought to bear on the outside and I know the mail service needs readjustment. The business of the Chicago office is enormous. It would almOBt be a division of Itself." Bee Hit nll on Head. Commenting on the result of the Investiga tion published In The Bee of Tuesday, F. K Kellar, chief clerk of the railway mall service at Omaha, said: "1 think The Bee told the truth. Th facts as stated are correct a to the mile age and number of clerks In the big Sixth district. It is very large and the talk of making a new division seems sensible." Mr. Kellar said that at present his office has the direct supervision of 230 mall clerks. The office has charge of clerks on the Union Pacific as far as Cheyenne, all the lines of the Northwestern west of the Mis souri river, the Missouri Paclflo line- by way of Weeping Water, the Rock Island lines Into Kansas, while the clerks on the Burlington are under the chief clerk at Lincoln. The Omaha office recently took over the work of the Sioux City office on the Black Hills line of the Northwestern, relieving that office of the work of caring for some twenty-seven clerks. The present operation of the chief clerk's office In Omaha shows plainly that Omaha Is the logical point for headquarters of a new division. Senator Millard Is for It. "Omaha should have been the headquar ters for a division of the railroad mall service many years ago." aa'.d ex-Senator J. H. Millard. "My only wonder is that the department has farmed out so much of the territory which should be handled from Omaha and given It to another city. "Not enough Importance Is given to the fact that the federal bulldlne; at Omaha, which was erected by the expenditure of a great Sum of niones-, has ample room for the headquarters of a postal division. This should be an argument which would Carry much weight with the department In selecting a city in which the headquarters for the district west of the Missouri should be located. The vacant space In the fed eral building, all ready for occupancy. When brought to the attention of the de partment and congress, should overbalance claims of any other eity, regardless of the fact that Omaha Is the logical point from which to handle the mail business on the western railroads. "I am for the dividing of the 'big sixth district,' with the understanding that the headquarters shall be located at Omaha, and I am hoping that western senators and representatives will succeed in the ef fort to do so at the present session of congress." That onr American forests ahonn4 fn plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues Is abundantly attested by scores 'of the most eminent medical writer snd teachers. Even the untu tored Indians had discovered the useful ness of many native plants before the dvent of the white race.

SMALLEST CRIMINAL DOCKET I. cast am Iter of Cases Ever Mated for Trial In Dosclsa Connty C'onrt Terra. The Douglas county criminal docket Is the lightest it ha been for years accord ing to figures compiled by Gnorge Seay of the district clerk's office. The docket now contalna but seventy-three cases, and twenty-eight of theee are appeala from the police court, leaving only forty-five state cases. It is believed this Is the smallest crim inal docket this county has had In ten years. It is not unusual for the clerk to transfer S00 cases In making up the crlm- . - ,14 oi court, one reason ror the decrease Is the policy in- augurated by City Prosecutor Daniel of calling to trial or forfeiting bonds of persons who appeal their cases from police court to tne district court. Heretofore th docket ha been encumbered with scores of appenl rases that were outlawed but never wiped from the docket. The county attorney nas also dismissed a number of case in which there wa lack of evidence sufficient to convict.

Walking, especially In the early morn ing, Is fine exercise, if one Is robust enough to really enjoy it. If not, It la burdensome. A lady of Blount Spring, Ala, where the water and fresh air did not seem to build her up as she hoped, found that Grape-Nut food was Just what she needed to give strength. She writes: "Circumstances have made it necesurv for me and my family to board for the past five year and during that tlma I have suffered greatly from Indigestion. Improper and poorly cooked food being tne eviaent cause or my trouble. "Indigestion had become chronic and complication arose so that I lived for month at a time on rw eggs; could not even take wine, brandy or milk the lat ter souring on my stomach. I tried about every known remedy and had beea here for a month, drinking th water and walk ing morning:, noon and night, trying to get relief. "Accidentally I heard of Grape-Nuts and began to eat the food. Afterabout three week on, tal food, together with the ex ercise. I found th greatest relief.

Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellvllle" In , Pk-5 Sixteen months ago the above law was passed and but three and a half months re main until It will become effective. What the railroads will do to comply with this law remains to be seen. Cntll recently It did not seem the roads were making any move whatever, but lately reports of various schemes have oome out showing the owners of the roads are really thinking something must be flrnie.,',,! 1 ' One small coal road has 'transferred its coal properties to a new and separate Cor poratlnn, controlled by its stockholders It Is reported the Gould lines may do the same thing. The properties of the Gould line are estimated at 860,000,000. It is feared In many quarters that sucli a move woul be attacked as a mere evasion of the law, Railroad companies own about W per cn of the anthracite coal lands. It is thought ihe L'nion Pacific Coal com pany which is owned by the Union Pacific Railroad company will cease to sell any cofil whatever to outside consumers and will uso all the coal of Its own mines for Its own use. With this end in tew the company Is doing everything possible to help develop other Wyoming properties that there might not be a general coa shortage. Import Freight Rates Rise. As the result of an understanding reached after several conferences by the railroad leading from Atlantic and gulf ports to the Interior of the United States rates on Import freight are to be advanced. While it Is understood that class rates will not be touched, about 76 per cent of the large number of articles now carried on com modity ratea will be transferred to the classified list. It Is stated that fixed dif ferentials In favor of New Orleans, Gal veston and other gulf ports, based upon Baltimore, have made this new deal possi ble under an award made by arbitrators two months ago. These differentials apply only to rates east of the Mississippi river and do not effect the territory west of the Mississippi. H, P. Report Shows Strain. The report of the earnings of the South ern Pacific for November looked so bid that they required a note of explanation from the official giving them out. An In crease, of operating expenses and taxes from 86.247.037 In November, 1308 to $3,16b.- 287, or more than 30 percent for 1907. while th gross earnings for the same time In creased but 4.8 per cent. Is taken tl be alarming, although October made a worse showing. The report shows the strain the road labored under last spring in the fees of most unfavorable weather, conditions. Unprecedented storms and washouts last March not only caused the road great in convenience and expense t the time, but left damages which have not yet been fully repaired. Mofcler Bark Home. General Manager Mohler has returned from a western trip, having attended the Wyoming Wool Growers' convention at I.aramle and also made a visit to Denver, where quite a controversy is on over the building of a viaduct. Four roads are In terested in the construction of the viaduct, but one of the roads is holding out agalnxt its construction unless the city will con sent to keep the street open under the via duct. At a meeting of the commercial In terests and the leading men of Denver Mr. Mohler spoke for half an hour and offered to do all In his power to assist in getting the viaduct built as soon as possible. Returning from Washington a Kansss City man said. 'If St. Louis gets the fourteen-foot waterway from the lakes and we fall at that time to have the Missouri river navigable and navigated from Kansas City to St. Louis, St. Louis will put Kansas City out of business In the whole south and southwest.' Now. If the river Is navi gated to Kansas City and not to Omaha at that time, where la Omaha commercially as compared with Kansas CltyT" This was the question which B. J. Mc Vann, secretary of the Omaha Oraln ex change, put to the real estate dealers of Omaha and their guests at the "Missouri river navigation rally" held Wednesday noon, when Ihe real estate men met to complete arrangements for the trip to Sioux City next Wednesday, where they will at tend the first annual convention of the Missouri River Navigation congress. Mr. McVann displayed a map of the central United States showing the great waterways. He said: "If Chicago had a proposition before congress to build at gov ernment expense a four track railroad from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico, maintain It In good repair at government expense and allow anyone to run cars over It who would furnish the cars and motive power free of cost, how long would Omaha keep still? "Then what if Kanff City wanted to build a double track railroad at the ex pense of the government, connectlngwlth the four track line from Chicago? Conld Not Last lx Months. "Omaha could not be a marKet city six months with such competition. All the grain of the Vest would be funmMed through Kansas City, and all the merchan dise for the country west of the Missouri river, or a large proportion of It, would come through or from Kansas City. "The water rate regulates the land rate. When the rate on wheat from Pt. louls to New Orleans by river was 30.6 cents per bushel, it whs 70.2 cents per bushel by rail from St. Louis to New York. When the river rate fell from 30.6 cents to 4.25 cents per bushel to New Orleans, the rate by rail to New York followed It down from 70.2 cents to 11.6 per bushel." Mr. McVann quoted from many high authorities on river transportation, among them the St. Louis and Kansas City men who have made a study of the effect whfch river transportation would have on railroad rates. One authority quoted said. "These river rates also affect the rail rates erst and west as well as north and south. Take grain, for Instance, from the Missouri river trade center, Kansas City to New Tork: The rate.jjiat would npply on such traffic would have to approximate the rates from Kansas City to St. Iouls plus the low barge rate from St. Louis to New Orleans. Whatever rate Is made from Kansas City to the Atlantic seaboard must he made also from the Missouri river gateways, such as St. Joseph. Leavenworth. Nebraska City and Omaha, or else all the grain west of the Missouri river would be funneled through Kansas City." E. Martin on Railroads. Chairman Kuclid Martin of the executive committee of the Commercial . club . ad dressed the real state dealers, assuring them that the big shippers of Omaha were In sympathy with the movement. "Something must be done." he snM, "In view of the way In which the railroads are treating the shippers. In former times the men who represented the railroads in Omaha had other interests here and would meet the shippers half way, but under the present system the representatives are merely clerks and we find we are paying a higher rate each dav fur our transporta tion. As a matter of fuct. the Missouri river has been controlled as we have been controlled, and as our state legislatures have been controlled, by the great cor porations, but when I first saw the. Mis souri it was navigable, and It is todav." A. W. Jefferis, who is to spenk at Sloui City next week, said the government would do better to consider controlling tho 18,000 miles of waterways in the center of the country than to talk of owning and con trolling th railroads, an artificial means of transportation. He urged that a large delegation be sent to Sioux City to show where Omaha stsnds. The Real Estate exchange will hold a meeting at noon Mondny and will Invite In the delegates front the Commerciatlub, grain dealers, and builders' exchange, to organise the delegation which Is going to Sioux City.
