.INSPECTS CARRIER DELIVERY
superintendent from Washington in
Omaha 10 Prepare for Re-
port on Service.

Colonel William C. Edens. superintend-
ent Of the carrier delivery division OF the
Postofhee department, with headquarters at
Chicago, is in Omaha investigating the con-
ditions OF the carrier delivery here with
reference to a request by the postmaster for
additional carrier service. The difhculty
experienced in Omaha arises from the fact
that the city is scattered over so wide a
territory that many Of the outlying districts
fail TO receive the satisfactory service 10
which they think they are entitled. Colonel
Edens will go over the ground himself and
make a report on the subject to the postal
authorities at Washington

AGAINST BURGLARS
Nebraska Taking Out Pol
icies and Increasing the
Reward Fund.

Recent bank robberies in the state have
awakened interest in burglary insurance
and Secretary Gould Of the Nebraska Bank
ers' association says hat he is writing
many policies in tho company which CO.
operates with the association. The money
realized from commissions on this insur-
anee Is placed in a fund which is TO be
used to pay rewards for the arrest Of bank
robbers. The fund now approximates $500
and at the next session OF the association
II is expected that a number OF standing
rewards for robbers will be authorized.
Reports from Missouri, where the same
plan is in operation. are TO the effect that
bank robbing has reached its lowest point
in that state.

OF the leaders will be held at which plans

The strikers take the company at its word,
that no settlement will be asked. The on
cials are still maintaining the same indif-
ferent exterior, holding that so far as they
are concerned the strike is settled now,
but this view is simply laughed at by the
strikers, who point TO the fact hat with
600 or 200 men In its Omaha shops working

unable to keep up with its work as evil

SETTLEMENT NOT PROBABLE
RumOr that Union Pacific officials Had
Asked for Conference.
STORY D%IscREDITED AT HEADQUARTERS
Attorney Baldwin Says There is No
Foundation for Report that Com
pany Seeks Conference
with strike Leaders.

Leaders OF the Union Pacific strike yes
terday morning announced that a rumor had
reached them that the company had re-
auested a conference with the officers OF
the district lodge of machinists with a
view Of opening negotiations for a settle
ment of difficulties. The strikers were in
clined to place some credence in the report
but from what can be learned at the Union
Pacific headquarters their confidence seems
to be misplaced. The report is discredited
and denied by Union Pacific oficials In
plain and emphatic terms.
Attorney John N. Baldwin Of the COM
pany said:
II know nothing of any such move, have
never heard a word OF 1t and haven't the
remotest intimation of any plan or con-
templated plan for a conference with these
strikers"

Denied at headquarters.

President Burt's office was consulted
practically with the same results. 1t is
generally denied at headquarters that any
such conference with strikers is sought or
desired and ofAcials profess to be at a loss
to know how these rumors originate. The
one Friday is classed in the same category
with that one from New York to the effect
that the Goulds and other powers inter-
ested in the Union Pacific were about to
override the Hartman interests and domi-
nate In a settlement of all labor difficulties.
1--WE are surprised to learn that the
Goulds, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and others are
in the ascendency and that Mr.. Harriman's
influence in Union Pacific affairs is secon-
dary,' said a Union Pacific official. "In
order to accredit the report from New
York that a settlement OF the strike had
been dictated by these powers it would be
necessary to believe that this radical
change in the controlling interests had
come about, and that is out Of reason at
this time. We have never heard It inti-
mated before hat the Hartman interests
had been s~urmounted."

Burt Controls situation.

II is OF course an admitted fact that
President Burt is entirely responsible for
the policy adhered to by the Union Pacific
during the tendency OF this strike, and 1t
has been stated by authoritative sources
that every detail OF that policy was upheld
and sustained by the stockholders and d.
rectors, else changes would have been made
before this. From the same responsible
sources comes the emphatic statement that
so far as anyone In Omaha has a right to
Judge Mr.. Burt Is still commander of the
situation. and not until matters reach some
more radical stage will he be Invested Of
the authority belonging to the president
and condemned in the course in which be
has once been strongly endorsed,
II this statement be entirely correct
there is little ground, evidently, for the
| recurring Tumors that the strike is to be
settled through outside channels. An ON
cial at the Union Pacific takes the view
that many OF these reports from the east
originate In stock market sources and are
obviously intended to have some financial
significance. Especially does he so regard
the latest one regarding the Goulds and
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. While this view is held
by this and other officials, outsiders and
strikers persistently contend that there is
more than mere rumor in this report and
that time will prove the sanity of their
positions.

was comparatively slight and the
land was used mostly for cattle

Light is thrown on the deropu-

the comparison of the census of

latter year it was 1,b31,6S7. or
$4,000 more than twelve years

probable increase in the popula-
ton between 1887 and 1895. the
year in which the insurrection
broke out, the loss of life, as in

Alfalfa.fed Pork.

Certain alfalfa districts in
Nebraska are sending hogs to
the market that have never eaten
corn, saysacorrespondent. They
have beeu grown and fattened on
alfalfa, some Of the lots being
considered good enough to top
the market. Clover is the natu-
raj food for hogs; they like it
ltagrees with them. Clover-fed
hogs, finished on peas, make the
best bacon in the world. 1t is
this bacon, cured in Canadian
packing houses, that is so much
in demand, and that commands
such high prices in England. Our
corn-fed bacon has never met the
fastidious requirements of the
English epicure. The develop
ment of this new departure will
be watched with considerable in
terest. Alfalfa yields so album
dainty IN semi-arid sections that
have heretofore extending at such
a rate, that this new addition to
our pork supply will probably
lead to important results, both
in quantity and quality.
