While no official statement has been

authority that both the Great Western
and Burlington will meet any new time
arrangements that the Milwaukee or
North Western may initiate. 1t is SAID
that those roads are now at work on new
schedules for this purpose.
1t is thought that the Milwaukee road
is trying to test the public to see if faster
service will be appreciated before more
radical action is taken. If a demand for
faster time develops the company will re-
duce the running time of all its regular
passenger trains. as it is admitted to be

EARNINGS FOR OCTOBER.
Most Roads Showed Good Increase
Over September.

The returns for the month of october,
which cover only the gross receipts, IN
diCGte an improvement in the rate OF IN :
crease of earnings over September. TINS
is due to the fact that last October the
earnings were practically stationary as
compared with October of 1882 when the
rate of increase in railroad traffic was
something enormous. The winter wheat
crop shortage of a year ago was the cause
of the light traffic. This year the roads
in that region are eclipsing all railroad
records. The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads report gain of IS per
cent, Canadian Pacific 80, and the 500
road GO per cent.
The accumulation of September reports
shows a lessening of the big gains re
corded in July and October and an in
crease in the proportion of operating eX-
penses. largely due, however, to extra
charges that always accrue at the close
OF the quarterly period. The rate of in
crease for the first quarter as shown
in the reports of the majority of the
roads is 1873 per cent. This compares
favorably with last years increase, which
averaged 10 per cent.
AS yet there is no sign OF falling off in
traffic in the corn region. Missouri Pa
cifics report for October shows a gain
of Is per cent over last year, and Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas shows an increase
of Is per cent. All over the country
comes the same compartment enough
cars to move traffic, and the earnings
reported represent the maximum capacity
of the roads

reports for the first quarter of the fiscal

READY FOR PRUNING /
BUDGET is TO BE SUBMITTED TO
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
TODAY
NEARBY ALONE HAS FIGURES
Commercial Organizations Will Re-
sist Demands Made for Addition
al Appropriations-Len
Sessions Expected.

Of more than ordinary interest will be
the meeting of the conference commits
tee, the opening session of which Will
be held this afternoon. Already nearly
every commercial organization in the
city has selected representatives and the
reading of the budget, which will be the
principal order of business, will be rs
tened to with interest by them.
The makeup of the budget is entirely
in the hands of Comptroller McCardy,
and that official so tar has not seen 1T
to make it's contents public. Not a few
would like to know, but they will have
to nurse their Impotence until the meet
ing is called to order.
1t is not probable that the figures will
show much increase over those of last
year when the budget is received from
Mr. McCardy; in fact it is said the total
will be slightly smaller. But any failure
in this respect will be made up by the
radical changes that are sure to follow.
An appropriation of $4,000 for the ex-
tension of the Thro street bridge was
cut out last year, but there will be n
lively protest if the same course is fol-
lowed this time. Other demands just as
large are contemplated, and their presen-
tation when the proper time comes will
materially increase the amount to be
raised by taxation.
Last year the commercial organizations
and interested citize rs secured sub
stantial reduction in the demands made,
and from present appearances they Will
be just as active this year.

POOR CHRISTIANS.
Unwise Feeding Makes Them.

Some people thought he was a funny
old man when he spoke at camp meeting
on the subject of Lord Give Us Sense"
One of the first requisites for living
peaceful, upright, honest and religious
life is food of the kind that can be easily
digested and that furnishes the rebuild
ing material for good healthy brain and
nerve centerS.
1t is absolutely out of the question for
a person to be peaceful, capable and
right-minded when the brain is under
fed and the nerves wrecked from lack
of rebuilding elements they have right
to expect from good food.
A person fed on meat. bacon, ham.
fried cakes, hot biscuits, sticky and poor
ly cooked starchy oat meal and wheat
may possibly have strong digestion
enough to handle these things and be
a happy, healthy individual but 80 peo-
pie in 100 have not, aud the result is ir-
ritable, poorly nourfshed, nervous bodies,
foul breath, and a general condition that
prevents one from being happy and con-
tented. 1t is practically impossible for
such persons to be good Christians.
The religion of common sense and good
food is the first religion that a man or
woman should cultivate, for that condi-
ticn makes possible thoughts of higher
nature and a better grade.
Inece is q WOFlQ OIL WISDOM IN the saw
ing of Ruskin, 1--WE may be sure we are

steady set of nerves and get rid of dys-
pepsia, constipation, huttering heart,

No meat or grease. You will have

that you can digest Let your supper De

You probably don't need medicine, but
you need the kind of food that contains
elements that rebuild the soft gray mat
ter in the brain and nerve centers
throughout the body.
1t is up to you." reader. to put your
self right and make of yourself a. happy,

MISTAKE IS COSTLY
CIRCUIT COURT OF l-PPEALS HANDS
DOWN INTERESTING REALTY
DECISION
DUE TO A CLERICAL ERROR
Inaccurate Description Induced Pur-
chaser to Think Title Was
Clear - Loses It on
Foreclosure.

Three decisions were handed down yes
terday by the circuit court of appeals,
in which the findings of the lower court
were affirmed. Two of the cases were
appealed from the district of Nebraska,
and one came from Kansas.
The case of Edgard Vercruysse against
George j Williams, brought on appeal
from the district of Kansas, was an ac-
ton in which the defendant claimed ex-
emption from a mortgage in which a
clerical error had been made. 1t appears
that a mortgage had been given on se2-
ton 81, township 8, range u west of the
sixth principal meridian. By clerical
error the land was described as section
81, township u, range west of the sixth
principal meridian, and the mortgage was
so recorded. Williams bought the land
first described and in looking up the rec
ords found the title clear. The mort
gage foreclosed on the land. but Williams
claimed exemption en- the ground that he
was an innocent purehaSer. The lower
court held that he could not claim the
