All Grand Army
To Ask Young Men to Serve Nation
(From a Sun Coiraond.nt.)
Lincoln, April 14. (Special.) The
Nebraska department of the Grand
Army of the Republic has issued the
following circular letter under the
direction of Department Commander
W. H. Stewart and Assistant Adju
tant General A. M. Trimble:
. "Comrades: There has never been
a time since the civil war when the
veterans of that great struggle have
deemed it necessary on their part to
offer or render any kind of military
service.
"And now, while there is no lack
of enthusiastic patriotism, we are past
the age for active Service. But the
time has now come when we can
show the spirit of true patriotism in
urging the young men of the country
to "rally 'round the flag," as we did
from 1861 to 1865, and as the Spanish-American
veterans did in 1898 and
1899. By so doing, we can feel that
we are rendering material service to
the best country on earth. First then,
let us get behind our National Guard
and assist them in filling up their
ranks. .
"The National Guard is now a na
tional organization. It typifies the
volunteer system and should have the
support of every comrade in this de-
Omaha Is Victim
Of Unjust Rates ,
On Railroad Lines
- According to mileage it should cost
only 60 cents more to go from Omaha
to Chicago than from Kansas City to
Chicago. It really costs $2.05 more.
The Commercial club and the Traf
fic Bureau have just been digging
around to pick up some little bita of
Information of this kind in connection
with the fight they have on to get a
more equitable adjustment of passen
ger rates as between Omaha east
bound and Kansas City eastbound.
The club had been of the opinion
that tha discrepancy unfavorable to
Omaha was only in the matter of
tourists' rates, and that it applied only
to points east of Chicago. They find
now that In the mere matter of going
from Omaha or Kansas Citv to Chi
cago and no further east, Omaha gets
rar tne worst ot it. - .
It costs $12.05 to a-o from Omaha
to Chicago and only $10 to go from
Kansas City, white the distance from
Omaha is but a very few miles
greater

Buffalo County Wheat "
Crop Much Improved
Kearney, Neb, April 14. (Special.)
Latest reports received regarding
winter wheat conditions in Buffalo
and Kearney counties are optimistic
as compared with the forecasts of two
weeks ago. At that time it was
hinted that the crop might be but a
fractional one and possibly even a
total loss. Yesterday F. G. Keens.
one of the most extensive farm own
ers in this vicinity, received the last
report from his many tenants. They
represent forty-seven farms, all lo
cated in different parts of Kearney
and Buffalo counties. These men
place various estimates on the crop
that may be expected. The lowest
figure given is 30 per cent, while sev
eral farmers look for an 80 per cent
yield. The average is close to 70
per cent. These estimates were made
after careful examination of the fields
and can be accepted as trustworthy
figures.
