/. & N. TO MAKE
FASTER TINE
New Schedule viii Soon Go Into
Effect.
CHANGES IN OFFICIALS
Rumor Has 1t That Ed. Nein Will GO
With the Southern Sheffield Ru-
NOR That the Northern Ala
bama Changed Hands.

The announcement has been made of a
change of schedule on the Louisville &
Nashville road to go into effect next Sun
day night at o'clock. 1t is said that the
object of the change is to shorten the time
on that road between Cincinnati and New
Orleans, but as the timetable for the whole
system under the new schedule has not yet
been received, 1t is not known authoita-
lively whether this is true or not. The only
figures which positively known in Bir-
mingham are those which effect this city
alone.
Under the new schedule, No. l, the fast
southbound mail, which now arrives In
Birmingham at 7:45 a. M. and leaves at 1903,
will hereafter arrive at 8:42, and depart
twenty minutes later.
No. 2, now arriving from Montgomery at
11:35 a. M, will hereafter arrive at 12:O1
p M, and depart at 1921.
No. g. southbound, will continue to ar
rive at $40 p. M, and No. a. northbound, at
its old time of 1925 m.
Rumored Changes
Just as usual at this time of the year,
number of changes in the officials of the
various roads running into Birmingham, are
now being talked about. January l is a
favorable time for changes with the man.
agements of the railroads. and at that time
last year, there were number of them
which were of great local interest
One of the possible changes which is being
talked of, is that Ed Neill, now the general
freight agent of the Mobile & Birmingham
road, who it is said, is to be made assist
ant traffic manager of the Southern. There
is no such office as this at present with the
Southern, but the story has it that it is
new one to be created on the first.
Change In sieepers
The Southern railroad has recently made
a change in it's through sleeper service be-
tween New Orleans and New York. In
stead of going all the way to New York.
the service now runs only between New Or
le1ns and Washington. This change was
effective December IS.
By the recent change which has been
made in the Southern schedule, there is
now through sleeping car service be-
tween this city and Jacksonville on the
train leaving here at a. m.
The afternoon train also makes connec-
ton in Atlanta, giving Birmingham two
through trains from here to Jacksonville
over the Southern. The change in the
schedule referred to, however, broke up
the through sleeper service between Char
lotte, N. c., and Birmingham, on the train
arriving here at 11:2O a. m. Slepers must
now be changed at Atlanta.
circular has been issued by the South
ern and the Alabama Great Southern roads
extending all clergy permits for the year
1898 until January 81 of next year. This
is done in order to give the ministers time
to get their permits for 1899.

general assembly who are pledged both by
the action of the people they represent and
support. The election Of Mr.. Hanna was
made direct issue, not only before the
state and county conventions, but in the
election last November in which his name
and candidacy was the leading issue.
PLEDGED BY WORDS AND ACTS.
That these conditions are recognized by
republican members generally is shown by
the fact that already several men who voted
against the nominees of the republican eau
Gus have voluntarily stated that they in
tend to vote for Mr. Hanna and that they
have from the first considered the question
of his election as having no relation to or
bearing upon the mere organization of the
house In the selection of officers of that
body considerations entirely different from
those relating to the representation of Ohio
In the United States senate were considered,
and the action of each member was based on
these individual and local questions
In the case of the Senatorship the instruc-
tion of the county conve ntions, the state
convention and the people themselves in the
election, were all clearly and with singular
unanimlty in favor of the selection of Mr.
Hanna for the senatorshp and 1t Is not be-
lleved that the action of any man in de-
termining his course as to the support of
candidates for officers of the Legislature can
be assumed to be an evidence of hostility
to the man who was endorsed for the sem
atorship with greater unanimity than ever
before in the history of Ohio, or probably
in the history of the country
Mr.. Hanna and his active supporters fully
and confidently believe he will receive the
votes of the members of his party when
feature of the duties for which they were
elected. 1t is not considered possible that
any republican in the Ohio legislature will
be willing to pursue n course which would
result in the substitution in the United
States senate of a supporter of the dangerous
doctrines upon watch the democratic party
based its campaign in 1896 for the man who
led the republicans to victory against that
party and those principles, especially as that
and the friends of free silver the

Aid Anyone who May
Ask Assistance.

A "bureau Of courtesy is novel associa-
ton of which the Real Estate exchange Is
sponsor It's sole duty will be to see that
courteous treatment is given every visitor
to the city this year. so that all may go
away with the impression that the transmits
sssippi country is as much on the top Of
the heap in the matter OF politeness as in
hogs and corn and minerals.
The bureau is to be quite comprehensive
one. 1t will be directed by committee ap-
pointed by the exposition directory and this
body will be in command Of an army of men
and women. In fact, as many of the people
as possible Of this city will be enrolled in
the ranks of the bureau. They will be di-
vided up into regiments. There will be a
BARRIERS league, q street car mems league,
chldrens league, and so on through all
the occupations and positions in Omaha's
social life.
Each member of the bureau will carry a
button or badge and visitors will be prlvi-
legged to address at any time or place any
wearer of this insignia for the purpose of
getting information OF amy sort. The bureau
member will be pledged to give up all he
knows, and if that does not satisfy his ques-
tioner he will take the trouble of directing
him to some one who can give the addi-
tional Information.
ACCORDING 10 thlS SCneme an eXpOSltlCn
visitor can strike any Omaha citizen for in
formation in a barber shop theater; street
car or anywhere else. If the man approached
cannot answer the questions he will take the
inquirer into the nearest barber shop in case
barber Is likely to give the desired informa-
tion, or into shoe shop If shoeman is
likely to be the possessor OF the knowledge,
and so on. 1t is believed that by this plan
visitors will come to the conclusion that
Omaha Is the center Of pcliteness of the
universe.
The scheme was outlined at noon yesterday
at the meeting of the Real Estate exchange,
by committee appointed to get up something
Of the kind, consisting of Members Benson,
Selden and Harder. The scheme was well
received and the committee was continued
to work up public sentiment In it's favor.
The special committee appointed to draw
up a form of contract between real estate
agents and property owners for the placing
with the former OF property to be sold re-
ported progress and was continued in force
The matter was discussed at some length
and a number of suggestions was made
Somo such contract form Is required, since
the last Legislature passed an act which
provides that a real estate dealer can collect
commissions for sale of property only when
he has a written agreement from the property
owner authorizing him TO make the sale.
Secretary Shriver reported that he had re-

Regardless OF the fact that the largest hay
crop in the history of Klmbsll county was
harvested last fall shortage is already in
sight This is due to the demand for feed
created by those who have brought cattle in
to winter from the west and south, which
started in the winter thin and require con-
siderable feed. There has been compara-
lively little feeding OF native stock, except
calves, so far this season, but the large
amount OF bad weather already experienced
causes stockmen to fear that they will be
compelled TO put stock on feed before grass
comes, hence they are not inclined to dis
pose of any OF their hay.

Governor Bushnell of Ohio Makes
Some Recom I'M II ntions.

GOVernOr BUShneI ohtO Makes
Some Recommendations.
COLUMBUS, JAN 3.--Governor Bushnell
in his annual message to the legislature
thus referred to the necessity for primary
election law in Ohio:
The election laws of our state are de-
signed to be broad enough to afford ample
protection for the purity of the ballot but
1t must be admitted that reform Is needed
in our system of conducting primary cleo
tions. To make the conditions more salts
factory In relation to the exercise of the
elective franchise it seems to me necessary
that there shall be such extension of the
laws as will place the primaries under the
control of boards of election, cityt and
county A method which will provide that
the primaries of each party shall be held un-
der control of boards of election at the
same time and under the same rules, per-
mitting only registered and qualified voters
to cast their ballots for delegates to con-
ventions or candidates 'for nomination and
attaching proper penalties for violation of
the laws, will effect reforms which should
long ago have been instituted in behalf of
sovereign right of the people. Such a
departure from our present system will be
in harmony with advanced ideas concerning
election processes and will be approved by
all good citizens. / respectfully urge the
subject for consideration and hope to see
the Seventy-third general assembly take
the initiative in this matter
