Grain Stocks Much
Lighter Here, Than
They Were Year Ago
Receipts on the Omaha ' Grain ex
change continue light, with a gradual
tendency to lower prices. While Omaha
reoelpts show a decided falling ff as
compared with corresponding, dates ot
one year ago? It is largely attributed to
the condition of the country roads, though
It is asserted that the slocks of wheat in
farmers hands ar very low and that
corn has been pretty well sold oft. '
At the' Omaha Grain exchange the re
ceipts were: Wheat, twenry-seveif cars;
com,, sixty car -.oats, .thirty-two cart! Last
year, on ' th .-corresponding date they
were, forty-eight, 2W and seventy-eight
cars, epcctlvely. However,. ,evoil, with
the light receipts, Omaha keeps pVetty
well In line with Chicago, where there
were but thirty-five cars of wheat and
thirty-three, of corn, notwithstanding
that Chicago gets its grain from the
markets all over the west, while Omaha
is purely a primary market.

OMAHA IMPORTANT
RAILROAD CENTER
So Declares Georg-e D. Dixon, Vice
President of Pennsylvania
Lines, in City Sunday.
TRAFFIC ORIGINATES HERE
Ueorge D. Dixon of (be Pennsyl
vania lines, vice president In charge
of traffic, enroute east after several
months spent on the Taclflc coast,
arrived in Omaha at 6 o'clock Sunday
morning, twenty-four hours ahead of
his schedule, and instead of remain
ing here a whole day as he . had
planned, left for Philadelphia after
stopping here an hour.
Owing to the early arrival of Vice Pres
ident Pixon there were few at the Union
station to meet him. L.. W. Blessing.
Omaha agent of the Pennsylvania, was
the only railroad man there. Relative to
railroad conditions and the railroad fu
ture Vice President Pixon had this to
sav:
"While Omaha Is not directly on the
Pennsylvania system, It is of so much Im
portance as a center for originating traf
fic that we think it is of advantsr to
the Pennsylvania railroad to have a rep
resentative of our Star-l nlon line sta
tioned here all the time. In addition to
that, we have our eastern representatives
make frequent trips through this terri
tory to get first hand knowledge ss to
Just what the conditions ar Trom time
to time. We are endeavoring to establish
close relations with the shippers.
"Railroads and shippers In fact, the
public in general-must get close together
today If our railroad problems are to be
worked out to a satisfactory conclusion.
There has been so much regulation that
neither the public nor the railroads
know where they stand."

CHURCH WILLRETA1N BELL
First Presbyterian Church Will Not
Sell It as Junk, as Erroneously
Reported.
ONE DEALER OFFERS $100
Following publication of an Incorrect
report to the efrect that the O. F. Davis
memorial bell In the spire of the First
Presbyterian church would be sold tor
junk when the edifice was transferred to
Arthur V. Brandeis and torn down tn
make room for a modern building, offi
cers and trustees of the church have been
swamped with offers to buy the belt, and
with protests against tne reported in
tention from many church members and
friends of the late Elder Davis.
One Junk dealer offered $HH1 for the old
bell when he read that It was to be
disposed of. As the bell contains much
silver, which gives It a remarkably sweet
tone, it would be quite valuable just for
the metnl It contains.
"The bell is not for sale and will not
be disposed of," declsres Rev. Edwin
Hart Jenks, the pastor. "It will h placed
In the tower of the new church at Thirty
fourth and Farnam streets, when that la
built this year."
Trustees of the chiuh have been kept
busy, denying the report that the liell
would be sacrificed. Phone calls, letters
and personal protests have been made.
Many members of the church wsnt to
have tha bell used In the new church.
Friends of the Davis family Insisted that
as the bell was given to the church by
Mis. Davis as a memorial to her hus
band. It should be given the place of
honor and used In the new edifice.
But the church officers have placed all
fears at rest by announcing that there
never had been sny intention to sell the
bell, and that It will be placed In the
new church belfry.
