Chicago, Jan. added interest in
the second nights run from Chicago
to Omaha resulted last evening from
the fact that the Lake Shore fast mail
from the east arrived at 10 o'clock, an
hour and half late. rhe Burling-
ton mail departed on time at $3.50, not
waiting for the belated eastern mail,
but the Northwestern waited until
10: 40 before ii departed, thus secur-
ing all the mail from
the Lake Shore train. The
Northwestern officials declare that
their train will reach Omaha at sis n,
m, its schedule time, making up the 40
minutes OF delay necessitated at this
end. II 1t does so the results Will be
of recordTeaking variety.
The east bound fast train ON the
Burlington wslich left Council Bluffs
Monday night and arrived in Chicago
yesterday, broke. according to the
tween the two cities. The train left
Council Bluffs an hour and two min
utes late, being delayed by the non-ar-
rival of the Union Pacific connection
from the west In spite Of the delay
at the start, it made the run to Chicago
in less than schedule time, and arrived
in the Burlington depot In this city on
time to the minute. The distance be-
tween Council Bluffs and Chicago by
the Burlington road is 500.2 miles, The
train covered the distance, including
stops which amounted to 391a minutes,
In 500 minutes. The actual running
time excluding stops was 52S1a min
utes. The schedule shows some
unusually fast bursts of speed, partlc-
ularly toward the latter part of the
run. From Burlington to Chicago, a
distance of 206 miles, the run was
made in 213 minutes including all
stops and taking these out the showing
is that the actual running time for the
FOG miles was 200 minutes, an average
of considerable over a mile a minute.
On the Burlington the best time west
Monday night was made from Chicago
to Burlington, where several stretches
were covered at the rate OF 80 miles an
hour and some miles at even better
than that The changing of engines
at Creston, Ia, was made In one min
ute and thirty seconds. The fastest
run on the Northwestern was made be-
tween Arion and Arcadia, la. Here
there is a straight level track for If
teen miles and the mile posts were left
behind at the rate of one every 35 sec
0nds.
Phenomenal Runs.
Omaha, Jan. 4.-The new fast mail
trains Gu the Burlington and North
western roads finished their phenom-
email runs from Chicago without spe-
cial incident yesterday. The Burling-
ton train pulled into the terminal sta
ton at 7:47, eight minutes ahead of
schedule time. The Northwestern ar
rived at 1853, II minutes ahead of its
schedule. The trains had head wind
all of the way, but in spite of this the
crews of both trains are confident that
even better time can be made II they
are called upon to Dc so. There were
many people present at the depots to
witness the arrival Of the trains. The
new Rock Island train does not start
until next Sunday.

IT'S ENGLISH, YOU KNOW.

The Manufacturers club of Philadelphia
held a meeting Monday night, at which
resolutions we're adopted favoring the crea-
ton Of a new cabinet department of COM
merce and manufactures.
Fapers were read by Charles H. Cramp
of the shipbuilding firm of Theodore T.
Search, president of the national organi-
cation of manufacturers, on the way to en-
courage American shipbuilding. Mr.. Cramp
deplored the growth of English influence in
this country. He said:
English ideas and doctrines penetrate
every walk of life and every branch Of
activity in the United States. At no time
prior to the declaration of independence
during the colonial period, was our moral
ard intellectual subjugation to Great Brit
ain so complete as it is now. In my judge
ment this relation between England and
this country forms the greatest underlying
cause OF prevailing financial and industrial
condition here, and more particularly in
the shipbuilding industry. American states
men and journalists seem to await express
siOns of British views on any subject con-
nected with our national existence or atti-
tude before making up their minds"
II we had said that the average dupe Of
the professional politician would not have
believed it,
Will they believe 1t when the millionaire
shipbuilder, Cramp. says it?-Schilling's
Advance.
There is a great deal of truth in this,
AS people we are all right, but
among the upper classes there is great
deal of cringing toadyism to England.
We have one-third more population
than England; nearly all the great in
ventions have originated here; the
British islands could be dropped down
into New England and lost sight of; we
are the climax of the worlds culture
and civilizations; and yet we do not dare
to indorse book or man until Eng

NUMBERING GAME.


The game laws are about as unjust as
any laws in this state. Although they are
altogether in favor of the city sportsmen
they cause trouble even among them. Lo-
cally some of the sports have been too soon,
and fine row Is on.
The game laws will fail of their object
until the law provides that no one shall
at present the game law protects the game
all the latitude in the world. Amend the
own land. AS but few farmers are "sporty"
the valuable and inoffensive game will be
left in peace. This suggestion will hardly
be approved by the sports, but farmers
should all favor it.-Fergus Globe.
The Globe is right. Our game laws
are humbug.
Any man who goes upon another's
land to shoot game is a trespasser, lab
initio," and should be jailed. But we
will send a farmer to prison for killing
a bird, fattened on his own fields, out
of season, and authorize the city dude
to tramp all over the farmers fields to
kill it in season.
All wrong! Our farmers are not
peasants, nor are the counter-jumpers
noblemen. And this is America, not

OF England, but old King Sol has Just been

This week some of the fields of wheat

disastrous to the ripe crops for when the
fire got started it could not be stopped and
simply burned itself out.
In London the lead on the roofs of houses
have been melted and have dropped into
