Folic Jadge.
Postmaster Lewis F. Etter in a re
view of the poatofflca work during the
last year fttms that the wage earners
of South Omaha bestow much patronage
oa th money order department of the
Meal pastoffke. The stamps and money
order tales of the local office Indicate an
Increase during- the last year and It Is
calculated that the new year will be
even an Improvement over the hut
twelve months.
It Is hoped moreover that this year will
bring the Ion expected savins depart
ment to the local office. Already the
department at Washington has requested
and been furnished with Information bear
Ins; en the savings bans, question.
Among many business men it Is ex
ssj that the savings department will
do much for the city and tor the poorer
claas of people, who for one reason or
another will not patronise a bank. An
additional benefit of the savings depart
ment of the poatof fice is that women may
deposit their savings with Unci bam and
be certain that their haid earned pennies
will not be subject to the demand 01
wasteful and Idle husbands.
The following sis some of the figures
offered by Postmaster Etter during the
year the sales were as follows:

Considerable interest is manifested as
to what position the city council will take
In following out the recommendations 01
the special auditor who In an exhaustive
report has pointed out several items that
call for Immediate and drastic attention.
That there will be a fUht on the Intro
duction of the new system of bookkeeping
proposed by the Arthur loung company
and approved by the mayor and several
councllmen Is expected. The mayor,
however, In a statement Issued yesterday,
declared that ha would fight for the
Introduction of system and orderliness In
the financial affairs of the city.
It Is probable that th council will be
Inclined to compromise on the Installation
of a new system and Introduce a system
promoted by some private Individual who
will guarantee perfect efficiency at a
much lower price.
Some of the councllmen, however, have
Indicated their Intention of having
system Installed such as would do credit
1 to an up-to-date business house and seem
to prefer to trust a company Ilk the
Arthur Young to one less known.
Case ( Police Jadge,
Another matter that will claim the at
tention of the council will be the case of
the police Judge, whose accounts show
a discrepancy for the second time during
his Incumbency In office. 8om time ago
when Auditor Raffles mentioned , the
chaotic condition at the police court books
Councllmen Walters Ind. Miller, reojieated
mm to put ine matter in wrltinir. .
Testerdsy It appeared that certain pro
visions by which the council was em
powered to discipline a delinquent offi
cial had been eliminated .from the elty
charter 4b Its recent revision under house
rule II and senate file Si. Beginning
with section 27 three sections of the
old charter were eliminated.
The official who examined the char
ter yesterday seemed not surprised at
the omission and declared that he would
tell of the fight for a better system in
the police court waged and lost at the
meeting of the Isst legislature.
Heavy Mac Looses.
' For apwards of a week now the shlp-pe-s
at the stock yards report heavy
losses In hogs shipped Into the local
market. In some cases the bogs are
killed by "pUIng," but In most cases
death hss been due to the extraordinarily
severe weather.
Yesterday It was reported that 10 dead
hogs were taken from one train and
turned over to the rendering works. As
many a fourteen have been found frozen
In one ear and shippers are beginning
to find the railroads unwilling to assume
the risk of transportation during this
weather.
It was ssid by soma of the men at the
yards yesterday that the fatality among
'hogs In transit would bj lessened If the
. shippers would provide a deep bed of
strew and soma cross pens In th cars.
Shipping In box cars a as resorted to
with poor success during the last week,
rear Coal saortaae.
In the face of the continued cold
weather there la a growing uneasiness
.among the big packing plants and the
coal men of South Omaha.
- This was admitted yesterday by sev-
eral of those who ars directly Interested
In the coal supply question. At tna pack
wig plant of Armour C. there is barely
enough coal to run through the day, and
'the management Is looking anxiously for
the first consignments of coal that Is
; now due from tns mines.

Once Train Robber
Now an Evangelist
Rev. Carl A. Hedllnd, th Swedish
evangelist, is conducting revival meetings
at th Swedish Free church on Twenty-
seventh and Marcy street. Sixteen year
ago he was a bard drinker, rambler and
train robber. He was only 17 year old
when he robbed a train at De Moines
and was sentenced to three years of hard
labor at Fort Madison penitentiary. A
millionaire's wife and other friend of
influence made up a petition tor his
release. Governor Jackson of Iowa
pardoned him.
But even this did not end his II f as a
drunkard. Hs skipped away from home
with V In his pocket and landed In
Omaha, where he spent th 17 for liquor.
He then sold hi overcoat and spent that
also, than he beat hi way west. During
this trip he happened to go Into a
Salvation Army hall at Fremont and a
man caiae down and talked to hint about
Christ. V'ilnout saying a word he gave
the fellow a blow with hi fist and ran
down to tn depot, when he boarded a
freight car loaded with two decks of
sheep. He was later converted.
