One express agent la liable to have nerv ous prostration if the legislature enacts any more laws providing for more report, and If th railway commission asks for mora reports, unless there are more hours added to each day, so hs can get his work done without violating the federal alxteen hour labor law. But her is his letter, written to Clark Perkins, secretary to the railway commission: Mr. Clark Perkins, Lincoln, Neb.: Dear Sir I am sending you a copy of my May report to the commission. Am very sorry you are not getting these reports on time, but the federal law makes it a crime for me, as an agent, to slay on duty over twelve hours out of twenty-four, and I have twenty-three hours' work out of every twenty-four. The railroad is putting new reports upon the agents to save general of fice expenses: lams hsve been made that force the agent to make report after report never before known, until, actually, Mr. Perkins, there Is nothing that reminds me so much today as that little piece of scrip ture which tells about Israel In bondage In Egypt and gathering their own straw to make brick. For humanity's sake send us a Moses, and send him quick if you don't, there will be no station agents left to be delivered from bondage. Wardea Need Gaarda. Warden T. W.

At the time of the escape of the four trusties, the war den had guards working fifty convicts. It was not posslbi for the guards to give chase to the escaped prisoners without risk ing the escape of th other forty-six left at work. After th first lump the escaped convicts reached th wood and were lost to sight. Th warden Insists that he should have mor Inside work for th prisoners, as It Is a bad practice to work them outside.
