EARLING MAKESA FAST TRIP President of the Milwaukee Road Says Nebraska Looks Splendid. SETS AT REST SOME RUMORS Says Ilnnhli Truck In to Ilr Con tinned Into Onmhn nnd that the Omnhn-Ynnkf on Itoari In Not ott Contemplated, Hn route from the Pacific coast, where ha had been for the last three weeks, rrosldent A. J. Earllng of tha Milwaukee road, passed through Omaha yesterday afternoon, lie was hero Just lone enough to havo a Milwaukee engine coupled onto his special train and was then whisked away to Chicago over his own road. President Karllng and party, consist ing of Hay Morris, Donald Oettes, T. Wnllen and Percy Rockefeller, came In from tha west on a special, running as the first section of Union Pacific No. It, ond coming down the Platte valley made some record breaking time, covering seventy miles par hour part of the time. ! President Barling emphatically denied the report that tho Milwaukee has pur chased the Kansas City Southern, and as emphatically denied that his people con templated building a short line from Omaha to Ynnkton In the near future. However, he asserted that doubletraclt work wilt be continued on the main line dtrosa Iowa, and that the second track will b In operation Into Manila this year. At the Mtiio time he set at rest the re port that has gained some circulation and to tho effect that from Manila tho double-track line would be eventually continued on to Sioux City, Instead of to Omaha. Iterative to this, he said: Uonlile Track to Omahn, "The double track will be continued on to Omaha. It may not be compteted this year, but It will be finished during 1915." Asked If there was anything in the rumor that-an agreement had been en tered Into by which the Milwaukee would loose and use the Itock Island terminals In Omaha when compteted and that In return the nock Island and Milwaukee would Use joint tracks part of the way from Manila to Council Uluffs, President Earllng replied: "Absolutely nothing. The Milwaukee proposes and Intends to be Independent, so far as the Itock Island is concerned. Wo will have our own line from Omaha to Chicago and when completed It will be aa good as any in the United States." Speaking of business conditions, both east and west. President Earling dis cussed them like this; Are Hope In Clood Crop. "Coming througn Nebraska everything looks very good and I never raw prospects better at this season of the year than right at this time. The country Is beauti ful and thq wheat looks as it It U in pcrfoct condition. I can't say that there has been any notable change for the better on the Pacific coast, Business ia not good and men in all lines are com plaining. In the cast, practically the same conditions maintain as did during the winter, I fall to see any Immediate prospect for a change to the better. When the new crop la harvested and goes, onto the market. If It Is an average crop, It will bring about some improvement, but how much I am unable to say." , llookefelier Silent. V Percy". ' Itockefcller. aon of ; William ItQckefeilsr. and a nephew of John ., did not care to discuss the Colorado coal mine 'strike and the results that have followed, adding; "It's a matter with which I have nothing to do. I have no financial Interest In the Colorado, or other western mines, or oil fields, so you see tho labor troubles there have not been brought on by me. This being true, I don't feel at liberty to discuss the merits of the case. In fact, all that I know of the Colorado situation is what I have read in the newspapers. "I had a very pleasant trip through the west and toda,y I certainty enjoyed tho ride down through Nobraska, gazing out at the beautiful valleys and prairies. where and on which I noted many pros perous appearing towns' ana cities, and beautiful farms, I am more firmly than ever convinced that Nebraska is ono of the greatest and best states of tho union." SIMPLE RUDIMENT, OF SAVING Primary I.eaaona on (Jetting a Start on Road to Inde pendence, Occasionally a bank managed by men of enterprise puts out a booklet of very great Interest to people who don't know the technto of banking. I wish that more of them would do ttl One of these booklets explaining the simplest facts about making money nnd then making money earn more money baa this catechism: "How do people make money? Through their labor and the products of labor. "How do people save money? Dy spend ing lesa than they aru. "What Is the aocret of money making? The real secret Is the savleg of money, for saving money Is Uie first step toward making money. "What Is essential to saving money? Making a start, no matter how small, livery penny saved helps to cave another, "Is It the duty of every one to eavo money? Yes. By doing this on need never be dependent upon others for food or clothing and In time of sickness saved money will be a great comfort "Why should children save money Be cause It teaches them the value of money; Its care and uses. "Why should parents save? In addition to always having ready money for emer gencies, by this means the children may be educad or later started in business. "What, is the lesson for all? To save for the benefit the habit brings; to save for the children; for business prosperity; for old age, for individual comfort, and for the happiness of dependent ones." At bottom nothing is more simple than money making, saving It and making the savings Increase. A the average man and woman hears them discussed, how ever, these topics are burled in a be wildering tangle of strange words and terms. Ko 1 welcome every primer talk on money and saving I come across' - Chicago News. Key to the Situation Dee Advertising. Trouble on the Road.

Armundo Alvcrado. whose base of sup plies Is at Creston, la., was outflanked by two damsels of color nt Twelfth and Dav enport streets and onslaughts depleted his accessible supply of dlncro. Then this same hombre In beating a retreat to a mescat dispensary was set upon by a hated grlngi who committed mayhem upon Armundo's prohocls, blacked both eyes and stole his watch. Pete Mncenos, MR South Klovcnth street, runs an employment bureau. He -got a countryman a Job In a section gang, which so closely remembled a Job the lat ter had In dear old Mexico, but which had tho added necessity of tctlng a ball und chain, thut tho countryman returned last night after losing the position and de horned Peto In most unlovely manner. Jose Vlctorlano i"rnnclsco, whose ability as a shoveler Is unquestioned by nil sec tion gangs on tho Burlington between here and Ottumwa, made the fatal mis take of bucking another man's gamo when he deserted his pick and took up a pair of "top" dice, lately the property of a bankrupt denizen of tho Midway. Benor Francisco had surrounded two countrymen, who, were they Americans, Would be called "live ones." Jose let them shoot good dice first, and when It came his turn he substituted tho "tops." "Mooches sevens" he grinned as he "passed" for the twelfth time and pocketed even the garments of his vic tims. Ilo was still repeating "mooches sevens" while the police surgeons were trying to fit on an extra car. Policeman Eddie nrlnkman. In a dls- patch to one of the war secretaries at the station, says ho met two Mexicans on the field of battle at Eleventh nnd Far- nain and flllod their fortifications full of shoes, neglecting first to remove his feet therefrom. The report says tho Invaders were creating a disturbance, Hrlnkman linn since recovered his feet, but not the prints. WANING TATTOO OF THE DRUM Held Front rtnnk In rtnmnnce of Wsr, JVoir n Thl 11 ir of the Pnst. The drums and drummer boys who for co many campaigns wero the objects of so much sentiment aro gone. Where not so many years ago tho rattling snara drums sounded the retreats nnd tho charges, now the bugle, with its moro penetrating and commanding voice, rules th,o field. As battles becamo larger nnd wider In their scope, It was found that drums could not be heard above the roar of tho battle to any distance, And conse quently they were done away with. The little drummer 'boy Waa the most touching figure In tho wars In which he took part. Chosen for his diminutive size, ho frequently was of tender years, and always In the fiction of war times he was pictured as a sweot-faced cherub. wounded terribly, but beating the chorg to the last. While thin aspect of tho an peal to sentlmeht became so common ns to' appear ridiculous. It originally sprang from a true premise. Tho llttlo drummer ooys, almost witnout exception, wero brave little fellows. Many a gallant youth did give his Ufa and many a heroic deed was performed by the llttlo salamanders. They were the favorltos of tho men and the pets of the regiment; nothing was too good for them, nnd on wot or cold nights thiv never suffered for warmth. If thoy sank to Bleep unblankctcd, some power ful trooper was sure to spread over 'them his own covering. Tho most thrilling tales of tho little drummers como from Napoleon's cam paigns. On tho retreat from Itussln. when grown men died by tho hundreds front tho rav ages of the cold and Cossacks, a goodly number of drums were strung hack along the grewsomo path of tho fleeing French men. In the rear guard, which was com manded by the gallant Marshal Ney, was A chipper drummer boy of about 12 years. The constant fighting and bunion of keep ing the human wolves off the rear of tha army was terrific, and only tho Inspired drumming of the boy and his childish "Long live Franco!" saved them from succumbing time after time. During a brave stand, or when Ney halted his men and turned buck upon their annoycrs, young France would sound tho charge with such a shattering' roll of enthusiasm that the grenadiers waded back through tho snow and scattered the Cossacks llko chaff. Turing to (lee to the refugo of the main body, somo stalwart would ttrow the boy astride of his shoulders and bear him off the field. From this point of vantage the drummer would beat tho retreat and shout back scurrilous street gamin epithets at the "pig-headed" Russians. When they came to a river ho was not at a loss for crossing. Simply mounting his drum and paddling, he went across in comfort. French archives are full of such hero ism, and the drummer boys became the most popular and feted members of the French army, barring, of course, the marshals. The civil war, too, saw the drummer boy, but he was passing. Toward tho last of the conflict he had begun to go out. The bugle, whllo not so thrilling, did the business better, and so the boy heroes had to go. , Men who have marched and charged to the cheering muslo of brass bands and to the silver notes of the bugle say that nothing can touch for Inspiration the JLX time drum. They say that when tTio ihythm, the volume nnd thrill of the rattling whacks once permeates the blood of soldiers they are practically Invinci ble, and that with such martial Incentive to Inspirit them they would walk straight into the mouths of the guns, oblivious to danger and thinking only of the cheer ing drums at their sides. In tho survival of tho fittest the drums had to go. It could not be helped, but no lover of true romance and sentiment In war, no admirer of the thrilling heroic side, can but regret that the drums are no more. Philadelphia North American.
