TRAINL0AD OF THRESHERS SHOWS BIG CROP EXPECTED That Nebraska Implement dealers as -well as Nebraska farmers are anticipat ing and feeling pretty certain of a bumper crop of small grain is borne out by the fact that right now harvesting machinery is' being rushed Into the agricultural dis tricts of the state. The largest single consignment of threshing machines ever brought Into Ne-i broska arrived-over the Illinois Central Tuesday night and went to Lincoln over the Burlington. The machines came from Minneapolis and there were fifty-eight of them, brought In on fifty-eight flat car, run as a special train At Lincoln tha threshing machines will be distributed among the dealers In the wheat raising districts of the South Platte valley.

QUIT TALKING HARD TIMES I'r.sstniUta Are Dtsnnprnrtnir nml Arc Turntncr tn Optimists nml Certain I nrilrn t Inua of Tltimprr Crop Continue. "They have quit talking hard times, and this to my mind Indicates that the peoplo are beginning to see the sliver lining to the clouds that some months ago caused so many to predict and feel that there was going to be a lengthy period of depression," said J. A. Mun roe, vice president of the Union Pacific, after going through a large number of letters from business men In all sections! of the country. Continuing Mr. Munro remarked: "A few weeks ago the people of the country were all, or at least a majority of them were pessimists. Now they have changed ami 'have organized Into a great army of optimists. They not only see the silver lining, but they feel that bet ter times are on the way and they are announcing It from the housetops, so to speak. "In the central west, especially In this territory the business men and others have been optimists all the time, and In the west they have been fairly optimistic. It was In the east, more particularly In the manufacturing and factory districts, where hard times talk was the rule. There, though, a change has taken place and'people generally are looking at things from a different viewpoint. Most of them see better business In sight and witn the starting up of concerns that employ large numbers of men and women, a feeling that there Is to be a return to prosperity Is becoming quite general. 'Bight now, all through the grain pro ducing sections bf the country, the pros pects for the best crop In yeara are dally becoming more certain. Should this promised crop be harvested, there Is no teason why a largo portion of the United States should not be unusually prosperous during the next year. Prosperity In the agricultural sections means prosperity in the cities and the manufacturing centers, something that we are all now looking forward to and ready to welcome."

BIG CUT IN THE COAL RATE Missouri Pacific Announces Reduc tion Forty Cents a Ton.

The cut of 40 cents per ton applies to all territory served by the Missouri Pacific group of roads. Whether or not the consumer will be given the 4j cents per ton on Arkansas coal Is something that the Omaha coal men contend that they cannot discuss in telligently at this time. At the offices of the Central Coal and Coke company, one of tho heaviest own ers of Arkansas coal mines and one of tho most extensive Jobbers In' the west of these grades of coal. It was stated, "Per haps the consumer will get the reduction and perhaps he will not. That Is a thing that wo cannot predict at this time." At the of I Ices of tho C. W. Hull Coal company, another, extensive Jobber In Arkansas coal, It was stated: "Wo have Just received notice of the proposed cut In rates on Arkansas coat and cannot say now how tho reduction of 40 cents per ton will be distributed. Perhaps the coal will be advanced this much nt tho mines, or perhaps what will be cut off In freight rates may bo added to the cost of output. Perhaps the wage scnle of the miners may be advanced." Asked it coal at the mines is Bold at tbo same price as formerly, tho censumer will get the benefit of the 40 cents per ton In reduction In the freight rate, all of the dealers agreed, "It Is too early nt this time to discuss the question."

For the ten hundred and thirty-fourth time, the young man squeezed her hands and painfully Inquired, whose particular "Itty bitty snooky ookums baby" she was? She replied, "oois bah-bec." He Blghed like a punctured tiro. Just then a flash of heat lightning lit up tho heavens. Tho young man looked over his shoulder as If to dety some danger standing thore. What ne saw made him change his mind. Flat on his belly In a shadow, hold ing a wicked looking pistol which seemed especially dangorous, when tho lightning flashed, was u young man, staring balo fully nt him and the young woman by his side. "Good night nurse," yelled the erst while protector, making It across lots as fast as his legs could carry him. The young woman turned to see what caused her friend's sudden departure. She saw.

There he described himself as William J. A. Cambell. 2618 South Thirty-sixth street.

A charge of carrying concealed weapons was placed against him. Miss 11 unit's I'lnno Ilecltal. Miss Mario Bush appeared at the First Baptist church last evening In piano re cital, under Mr. Max Landow's direc tion. Miss Bush played a highly serious program, acquitting herself with great credit She plays with finish and tech nical freedom. Her touch Is essentially ptantstlc, and her work is full of Intel ligence and careful well-balanced effects. She has a most fluent technique, and In such numbers as the Llsxt "Jeux d'Eaux" and the "Presto" of tho Saint Saens Con certo, every note was clear and distinct, In spite of the rapidity of tho tempo, and tho enduranco necessary to perform them. The' first number on the program was Bach's "Chromatic Fnntasle and Fugue," which was presented In a most satisfac tory manner, the different voices being at all times clear, and each entrance of the theme properly expressed. The Beethoven "Sonata" which followed Is one of the more unusual ones, and was highly offectlve, especially the second movement, which gave opportunity for some lovely tonal work.
