Railroad H~endqunrters' Advices Of
Henvy Trims Friday Night.

Railroad Hend9unrters' Advices of
Heavy Rains Friday Wight.
Rains continue to fall with an abundance
upon the farming regions Of Nebraska and
Kansas. and as a result the railroad officials
connected with the various Omaha headquar-
tiers are as happy as it Is possible for them
to be in contemplation of the big business
which will result from the general pros
perity following in the wake of these money
producing rains.
]. o. Phillippi Of the Missouri Pacific says:
I'VE had a great rain Friday night all over
our system. The reports which l have re-
ceived indicate that the moisture was yet
needed to complete the soaking Of the
ground, which was well started by the rains
earlier in the week. The biggest corn crop
in the history Of the west is now assured
unless the whole territory should be swept
bare by a cyclone, which, of course, is
altogether improbable"
Reports received by telegraph by General
Manager Holdrege of the Burlington show
that the rain clouds which threatened
Omaha Friday night swept out through the
state and emptied their moisture in great
measure. Good rains were reported to
have occurred Friday night at points
throughout the entire four divisions of the
Burlington-the northern, southern, western
and Wyoming. There was an especial
deluge In the southern division and the
agents at Brownville, Rulo, Nemaha,
Burchard and WILDER reported a heavy and
steady down-pouring. The agricultural re-
gions of Kansas and Nebraska are about as
well soaked now as they ever were and
railroad men are more than satisfied with
the promising outlook,

The reorganized company will be known as
