THE FAST MAIL SERVICE
n RADICAL CHANGE IN THE METH
OD OF RUNNING TRAINS.
A Large Sum Of Money to BE Expend-
ed ON the B. a. o. $. W.-MisceIIa-
neOus and Personal Notes.

Railroad and commercial circles in the
West and Northwest are all agog over the
radical change to be made in the fast-maiI
service. Omaha ard such pc is are to get
theiE Eastern mail at 10 a. m. instead of
In the afternoon. The Commercial Club, o.
Omaha, has endeavored several times with
In the last two years to have the fast mail
sent out of Chicago soon after the arrival
of the Lake Shore mail from New York at
midnight, but always without success. The
fast mail train from Chicago to Omaha has
been held until a. m apparently for the
sole convenience of the Chicago newspapers.
Such train schedule has enabled the Chi
cago papers to penetrate the western part
of Iowa and Nebraska territory while the
railroads have only offered such east-bound
service from Omaha as has most successful
~ bottled up the Omaha newspapers The
Omaha Bee says: AT present the Eastern
mail doesn't reach Omaha till nearly
O'Clock in the afternoon. BY the time it is
delivered to the business men they find it
Is too late in the day to answer their East
ern mail and send out their replies on the
afternoon trains for Chicago. Very often
the letters are not received until the next
morning. And this inconvenience and really
costly delay has been to benefit the Chicago
papers. The Importance Of the mail con-
tract may be appreciated when it Is said
that during the year 1896 the Burlington re-
ceived from the United States $61O,1S7.1s for
carrying the mail from Chicago to Omaha.
During the same time the Northwestern re-
ceived $17O.151.5S and the Rock Island $751;
O0015 The Union Pacific earned the big
amount of 900 by carrying the mail from
Omaha to Ogden during that year, while
the Rupinpton Dicxad 0l0 nv
carrying the mail from Omaha to Denver.
The government pays the railroads as fol-
lows. S25 per mile per year for forty-foot
cars, $50 per mile per year for forty-fve-foot
cars, $40 per mile per year fol- fifty-foot cars,
and $50 per mile per yea- TO- sixty-foot
cars

Machine Records.

For some weeks past the Pennsylvania has
been experimenting in some of its larger
offices, seeking a system whereby all rec
ords, way bills, statements, ETC., may be
typewriter. The machines to be used are
a new production. and will work on big rec
ord books without the inconvenience Of re-
moving the leaves, as has been done in this
work heretofore and will tabulate to any
line on the largest sheet used in the Penn
sylvania offices. 1t is stated that the Penn
sylvania has decided to place an order for
enough machines to equip the larger offices
on the entire system. The machine has
many of the fundamental features of an
ordinary typewriter, but instead of a cylin-
der carriage there Is large plate, on which
the keys strike, while the keyboard and
attendant appliances move over long rod
and the writing plate remains stationary.
The plate swings from the other part of the
instrument TO admit record book, which
IS clamped in place, and apparatus provides
for writing to any line or, in other words.
the spacing" may be of any width, while
= line of twenty-five inches can be written.
