omaha Boo.

The Chicago Il Northwest IN is pre-
pairing for series of tests of speed
and endurance between Chicago and
C,uncil Bluffs to wrest from the Burl
ington, if possible, the carrying of the
transcontinental mails between these
points.
AS q preliminary step A Morrison
tralnmcster of the Sioux City division
of the road, has just completed q tour
of investigation over the Burlington's
line to inspect the new facilities fol
carrying mail inaugurated by tha'
company. The Burlington is said {,
have the most profitable methods OF
handling mail contracts of any road
in Iowa and holds the most importan,
contracts
Since March III. 1854, the Burlington
has run a fast mail train between Chi
cago and Council Bluffs, and has car.
ried all the transcontinental mails.
Then the schedule time was IL hour.
and 30 minutes. Now it is 10 hour.
and % minutes, which has been heate,
many times. The second day th
schedule was inaugurated, January 9
1899, the fast mail made the run be
tween Council Bluffs and Chicago il.
9hours and % minutes On Februar
II of the same year the time was Gu
to 9 hours and IA minutes in the oppo.
site direction, and it is the record to
day.
To heat the Burlington and secur'
the carrying of the transcontinenta
mails the Northwestern must run :
train between Chicago and Counci
Bluffs that will cut the Burlington
regular schedule time of 10 hours ahd
% minutes by at least 30 mi, utes eacl
day for seven consecutive days. This
is the regulation of the postoffice de-
partment OH the subject.
That Is to say the Northwestern
must cover the 489 miles between Chi.
cago and Council Bluffs in Q hours and
50 minutes for seven consecutive days
Then the carrying of the mails may b,
awarded to Y,
Perhaps the Northwestern can com,
up to these speed and endurance re.
lqnirements now, bus it has never beer
able to do so in the past. Its line is 1:
miles shorter than the Burlington, bu'
the latter road has advantages that
more than offset this difference. TIL,
Burlington's fast mail is pulled b.
young men, most of them between 2;
aud 35 years of age and capable OF
great endurance, while on the North
western the fast mail run is consider
ed to belong to the older men. A fas,
mail engineer on the Northwestern
under SO is rarity. The Burlington
is now running the tastes. and lsrges
passenger engines in the world on 1T
fast mail trains. The Northwestern
has fine locomotive equipment, but o
a different class. Its engines stands
high above the tracks, making the cen
ter of gravity so high that full speet
can not be maintained on curves.
The eyes of the railroad world viii
be upon the Northwestern when it in
augurstes its tests, as it will spar,
neither money nor efforts to come vi
to the requirements. The dates hsv
not been made public, but the trial
will occur sometime between now an,
cold weather.

WARTS AND WEEDS.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WISHING AND WORKING.

tits popularity believed that warts can
Be wished away. But the farmer who
sat down and tried to clear his field by
wishing the weeds away would soon find
his crops gone. 1t takes working to get
rid of weeds, and the man with the hoe
must put in many long day before he
can take we'll earned rest.
1t is singular fact that great many
people treat certain forms of disease as
warts are said to be treated-by wishing.
This Is especially SO in the case Of

was seriously interfering with bust

be covered with curtains. OF course,
there was general protest, though deep
not loud, and the official congratulated
himself on having made good stroke.
In q day or two he was sstonished to
find that the absence of the mirrors re-
suited in greater loss of time than had
been due to their presence. The women
were continually distracted that some.
thing was wrong with their dresses OF
hair, particularly the latter. Being un.
able to reassure themselves with 8
glance IN the mirror, they kept asking
each other questions regarding the ALL
important matters indicated. Thus.
the loss of time was doubled, for, the
mirrors being unavailable, it took two

Of 1t. The mirrors were restored and
