E. J. Mo Vann, manager of tho traffic bureau, and J. M. Oulld, commissioner of the Commer cial club, returned Thursday from Lincoln where they went to protest against the adoption of the latest .classification list. A little more than a year ago this rail roads Increased the minimum amount of beer which should be loaded In a car In ordr to entitle It to the car load rate from Sn.nnn to 14,000 pounds. Nebraska apparently got away with the ' Increased amount of beer even In face of the prohibition clouds which hava been hovering over the atste. Now tha railroad are going to compel brewer to put 28,00 pound of beer In a car before they ran get the car load rate. It aim ply mean that the local agent or saloon keeper who have cooling ware houses out over, the state will have to get 4,000 pounds more beer ench time and then I the extra amount will crowd the ware house. They w?re originally built to hold and nrcommodate H,f pounds of beer. For years Vmly 29,000 pounds wer shipped In the' cnrl sont out from the breweries. When the 21,009 rule went Into effect, the brewer found' their warehoise filled every time they sent out a ear load of beer. Now contes the proposal to make the minimum weight 2R.000 pounds, or 4,000 pounds.. more than the warehouse will hold. Beer Coins; to Waate.

Makers i .NLW YORK Wireless from Wilson Says Wheat Too High Menage ii Flashed Out by Secretary of Agriculture Knocking the Price. "Wheat at $1.26 per bushel, too high!" This declaration by James Wilson, secre tary of agriculture, which reached Omaha Thursday morning by the wireless news paper route, created consternation on the floor of the Omaha Grain exchange, where real wheat to make real bread has been selling for real money frr $1.20 to $1.28 per bushel. Some of the dealers did not know what to do. They had accepted the money of the millers and It was a question of whether they should give back the 40 cents on each bushel or not. But most of them thought not and didn't Then it had Just been discovered by the grain dealers that every bun contains 7.2 grains of pur alcohol and every 6 cent loaf of bread .88 per cent of the poison. How could wheat be worth less than $1.26 per bushel, they argued, when Lincoln and other fly-ripecks on the map are going dry and th only way to get a drink of alcohol I to buy a 40 cent table dhole, dinner and eat th bread. "Wheat will continue to go up If they quit cutting bread In Lincoln' and go to opening th loaves with a cork-screw," say "Bill" Sunderland, the friend of Jim Patton, who ha maintained all along that $1.25 1 th actual price of wheat Of course the Lincoln excise board may forbid the people eating bread now that the demon-mocker I known to lurk within the crust This would be a serious blow to th grain trade, say all the Bills on the exchange, as the moment a loaf of bread gets between the legs of some Lincoln gentleman and causes him to fall In the gutter, there will be thing doing down there which will put th price of wheat down where Tama Jim says It pught to be. Pretsel are said by the health author ities to be th least alcoholic form of bread and total abstainers are expected to con tinue their use. The difficulty ' has been to find a place where the pretsals are served outside the groggerie and there la danger In people becoming confirmed bun ater and boosting wheat to $3 per bushel.

TO REPORT TO CORONER Seven Cases. Heater Says, He Shonld , ' Hava Had Are raised to Pri vate Hands. The failure of hospitals and private In dividuals to notify Coroner Heafey of cases of death coming under his Jurisdiction, caused hot words at Thursday morning's Inquest over the body of Nate Travis, the negro shot by Roy Davis. i win reruse to noid an inquest In a case If it Is grabbed out of my Jurisdiction without my knowledge and I am not notl fled even of the death of tha party," de clared Coroner Heafey. County Attorney English was also "hop ping mad." The coroner declared that in the future ha would leave such cases to the wisdom and action of the county attor ney, when the coroner was not consulted, aa is required by law. A delay in the Travis Inquest, due to the failure of all but three of the witnesses to appear, was the primary cause of th im patience of the county attorney and the coroner. On account of the delay, the Jury hearing the case adjourney till Friday at 10 o'clock. According to a statement made at the Inquest, the Travis caae Is the seventh during Mr. Heafey's term to be turned over to a private undertaker and treated as a private caae, when the coroner I should have been called. It Is th second caae in which the Omaha General hospital has failed to notify the coroner, but baa In stead allowed a private undertaker to haul away.

HUI will have four complete trains dally from Chicago to the Seattle exposition during the coming summer over his own lines, according to the new sched ule, which goes into effect May 23. Oriental Limited, the crack train of the Great Northern road, now running between Seat tle and Portland and St. Paul, will be ex tended on in a solid train from St. Paul to Chicago over the Burlington. The Northern Paclfio exprees will also be ex tended from St. Paul to Chicago and will run solid from Chicago to Portland and Seattle. Th Burlington's two trains for the north west through. Omaha and Lincoln from Chi cago and St. Louis and Kansas City will run solid to Seattle, one over th Great Northern and th other over the Northern Pacific. During the summer season the Missouri Pacific will run Its Kansas City train out of Omaha on time 11:16 on Saturday night. This train is held during the winter to tak care of the theatrical business out of Omaha for th south. The train of twelve cars carrying the Kansas City Commercial club on Its trio through Nebraska has been traversing the Burlington In Nebraska for two days. Bur lington officials report that the train has been on the schedule all th way, which Is considered quit remarkable for this class of a train, carrying so many people wno jump orr at every station. Lines west of the Missouri river are lin ing up some new east bound excursion rates for tha mouth of June to tha Atlantic coast. These ratos are something new and by them the railroad hope to force th growth of Atlantic coast travel early in th sea son to the resort and hotels.

Woman's Work AeHvlllaa at th Org ale Boalaa AJemg tk Zdae Va. dsrtaklaf at Ooaoera to Want. The problem of raising money Is con fronting several of the local organisations of women that have pledged their as sistance In entertaining the convention of th National Women Christian Temper ance union next October. While the bur den will by no means fall entirely upon the women, they will have a substantial part of It to provide, and as this will be a matter of several thousand dollars, organ ization of the financial plan Is an Im portant preliminary. The Omaha Women's Christian Temperance union has a regular Income from the noon lunch which it serves at the high school and the Omaha Woman's club also has funds. Frances Wlllard Women's Christian Temperance union has no regulsr Income aside from Its dues, and today and Friday Is holding a fair on the third floor of the Tex ton block In the rooms formerly occupied by the Toung Women's Christian association. The entertainment of the 0O or 700 dele gates expected will be the most serious question, as this must be provided by the homes of the city. The Omsha Woman's club has assumed responsibility for the social affairs to be given for the visiting women, but with ample funds and com mittees organised for such functions this will entail no anxiety. Th National society of the United States Daughetr of 1812,. State of Ne braska, held its last meelng for th sum mer Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Frank Crswford, 506 South Twenty-seventh street, Mrs. Herbert E. Gates, president, presiding.

Mrs. Charles Dorsey Armstrong acted as chair man for the musical and literary program which followed. Several Instrumental se lections were given by Miss Nancy Bat tin and vocsl selections by Miss Lan caster. A paper entitled "Battlefields that I Have Visited," loaned by the historian of the Michigan state society and read by Mrs. Andrew K. Gault, was of interest. It was written by Mrs. Jane M. Kinney of Port Huron and had been first read In Detroit at one of the state society meet ings. Refreshments were served and the members enjoyed a social afternoon. Mrs. Scott Durand has been appointed one of the lecturers at th Maryland Agri cultural college. She has been prominent in Maryland for several years as a social leader, a farmer and the owner and man ager of a large dairy. In accepting the appointment she declared that there were a number of reforms which she wished to bring to the attention of the farmer and dairymen of her tate, and she knew of no better way of doing It than lecturing to them or their children. Mrs. Scott Is well known to club women. Miss Helen V. Boswell of New Tork will not visit Omaha this weey, as had been expected by local club women. Owing to an accident she will be unable to come west at all and will send a substitute to the Iowa biennial. It was Miss Boswell whom the government aent to Panama two years ago to organise the women there Into clubs with a view to bringing about some contentment among the families of men employed on th canal,, and through the club to work out many other problems In cidental to th aoclal life of the isthmus. The Canal Zone Federation of Women's liuds was the result and It has fulfilled the moat sanguine expectations of Its pro moters. Miss Boswell Is now chairman of the In dustrial committee. Of tha General Fort.,... tlon of Women's Clubs, and In that office is one of th most conspicuous club women of the country.
