Speculation as to Successor to the- i Late A. J. Latey Office of Superintendent of Carriers to Be Filled Who Will Get It? Who will get the position of superintend ent of city delivery at the Omaha post of fice, made vscant by the death of the late superintendent, 'A. J. Latey, Is already at tracting attention around the post' office. The place is one that paid Mr. Latey 12.100, although probably a new man would hare to start in at I2.00O, but It la nonetheless so much better than the average as to be highly desirable. ' , Superintendent Latey's main reliance has been his chief clerk. Will Brown, but he Is not supposed to be under consideration. The talk Is that If Postmaster Thomas has the say, the appolntmet will go to either Assistant Superintendent Grogan of to the bead of the depot station, Ed Moag, both of whom are known to be In especially good grace with the postmaster. Mr. Qro gan was a postofflce Inspector located at Lincoln up to last year, when Mr. Thomas gave him the Ames avenue station ahead of all the local men, and then quickly pro moted him to the city delivery office with higher pay. Ed Hoag has been a letter carrier of long service, who waa trans ferred irom, ls route to take charge of the depot station about two months ago SeVefal others who might be otherwise eligible are on what Postmaster Thomas calls his "traitor's list," hava counted themselves out of the running. . - . .i Twenty-four burglaries of clothes snd Jewelry aggregating a total value of several thousand dollars and all committed within the space of twenty-six days Is the rec ord credited to Frank Howard and Harry Jackson, arrested Monday morning by the police. Howard, who lives at the Midland hotel, wea arrestee by Detectives Shoop and Davis Just as he entered a pawnshop, pre sumably to dispose of some of the stolen goods.. An hour later his partner, Harry Jackson, residing in the Klks hotel, was taken by Detectives Hettfeld and Donahue The robberies, which extend over the space between April ?0 and May 8, all bear the earmarks of a settled campaign of old timers. In almost every instance, the robbers Waited until the families were absent from home. The general mode of Ingress waa through a rear window. With the exception of some clothe, the loot con. slsted of Jewelry arid trinkets. The first haul of tbe looters was obtained from the rooms of J. K. Rugg In the L'ln tah apartments, where the burglars ob tained valuablea to the amount of ffiOO. The following burglaries are ascribed to the ac. cused men: E. L. Lawler. 2852 North Twen tieth street.

In the first plac, there i6 the danger of falling or being pushed off, and, in the next place, there is the danger of being " raked" off by 6ome vehicle driving or standing too close to the track to permit of safe passage, or by a pile of building material which may be piled close to the track. Therefore, always take a seat in the car when there are any va cant; or, if you are obliged to ride upon the running board, hold firmly to the upright hand-hold or the back of a seat and keep a lookout for vehicles and other objects along the track.
