Increase in Office Force Brings

The removal of the general offices of
the Plant System, after its consolida-
ton with the Atlantic Coast Line from
Savannah to Wilmington, has produce
ed an affect upon the receipts of the
Savannah posto1fce.
The receipts of the Savannah postof-
fee for the quarter ending Sept. 30,
1902, as compared with those for the
quarter ending Sept. 80, 1901, show q
decrease of $3,SO9.6S. OF this decrease
81, 1886 results from a diminution in
receipts from other postoffices, tribu-
tary to Savannah, and of course has
no special bearing on the local situa-
ton. The remaining part of the de-
crease, however, results in the opinion
of Postmaster Blum, almost entirely
from the removal of the Plant Sys-
TENS general offices and the loss of
this extensive postal business.
To account for the decrease in re-
ceipts from country postoffices is a diff
fcult matter. When asked about it,
Postmaster Blum ascribed it vaguely
ito the crops" but an analysis of this
alleged solution would be as difficult
perhaps as to find the answer to the
original problem. 1t is just one of those
ureXplainable things that nobody can
understand.

The increase in the expenses of the
office, amounting to about $1,000 for
the quarter, is due to the increase in
the salary of the postmaster and the
addition Of several clerks and carriers
TO the force. The quarter is probably
the dullest in the year, from the stand

MESSENGER BOYS in DEMAND
Frequent Showers Bring Business
from ForgetfuI Men without
Their Umbrellas.

The messenger companies are not COM
planning of the many showers OF the last
week. For them 1t meant dollars. Said
one manager:
1T is surprising the number Of people
who leave their homes in the morning with
out umbrellas, even when the weather is
threatening. When the rain comes they
all try to telephone at once to have boys
sent to bring their shelter sticks. One day
last week / sent a boy to a place on West
Farnam street. Before he got there ] had
six other similar orders from people along
the way whom he could stop and accom-
modate on the way back. / telephoned him
while he was at the first house and told
MIN where to call. But when he reached
the ONCE here he had not seven umbrellas,
but eighteen. A woman at one house would
see him going into her neighbours and
would halt him as he came out to send a
parasol to her husband. On such days our
boys answer calls amounting to $50 or $S5."

GAS ENGINES FOR FARM WORK
They Are Coming Into General Use,
Observes Travelling Man
from Iowa. ~

Some of these days" said r. r. Rogers,
a philosopher from ottumwa, Ia. who
travels for an Omaha supply house and
who was at the Merchants yesterday be-
cause 1t was too rainy to attend church;
some of these days 1t is going to be up
to somebody to write a book about the
passing of the farm hand. His days are
numbered because his usefulness is van
ishing. People In the city don't realize
what perfection the farmers of Iowa and
the ranchmen of Nebraska are attaining
in the equipment of their places. 1t hasn't
been so mighty long since 1t was a case
Of main strength and awkwardness with
the honest yeomanry,' and In those days
1t required a hand for everything that
horses couldn't do. But Yankee inventive
genius has made great strides and the last
clever trick was the creation of the gas
engine and incidentally the automobile.
at is only within the last two OF three
years that the engines have been perfected
into practicability. but 1t would surprise,
you to see how many farmers have already
invested. They can make one engine serve
so many purposes, you know, and the W est
ern farmer can recognize a good thing
just about as quick as anybody. Pure ihased
originally to run a pump, these engines
they impress into a diversified d'dty that
includes running cream separators and pro-
Polling small corn shelters. The other day
l was told about a ranchman who came
from Connecticut, ! suspect, for he had
coupled his engine onto some, hom made
fans In his dining room and. was turning
them with a rope belt.
And though 1t may seen a bit strange,
1t is nevertheless a fact tn at the
boom has done a great deal for the farmer
in an indirect way. II. has resulted in
much attention being 81 'Jen to small motors
and engines with the T Asult that they have
been much improved IN make and lessened
some in price. The horseless carriage has
stimulated manufac'mre and the big con-
Germs have equip ed their plants to nut
on the market malay new grades and styles
OF power-makers. In another two years
l believe we wiz ind ourselves living in
such an era of gas and electric power as
rev people NOW anticipate. Already the
country towns are talking automobiles with
a vengeance, the residents OF many Of them
have purchased machines, and 1t is a fact
mat many western farmers are preparing
to buy or at least say they are"

TO ORGANIZE IRISH LEAGUE
Omaha Branch of the United ErisA,
Society to he Formed

Tuesday afternoon there will be organ.

National league, the call having been Is
sued Saturday by T. J. Mahoney, chairman
Of the temporary committee which pro.
vided reception for william Redmond, Irish
member of Parliament, who spoke here in
the spring.
The local branch will have for its prin-
cipal object the raising OF funds to be sent
to the officers Of the league, which is nov
carrying out a program in ireland n the
interest Of greater industrial freedom for
the residents of thai island. Briefly out
lined, the demands OF the league in Ireland
are:
l. Full national self-government of Ire.
land.
2. Universal and compulsory sale of the
landlords interest in the land TO the ten
ants.
3. A state-aided system for enabling farm
laborers in the country and workingnen in
towns and cities to become owners of their
own homes.
4. Restitution to ireland of the sis, CO., n
a year in excess of her just share OF Inn
perial taxation collected by the British gov
8. Complete educational equality for the
Catholics of Ireland, including the estab-
lishment and endowment OF a university
In whose benefits they can conscientiously
participate.
the treason-felony act, under which po-
htical onenses are prosecuted as ordinary
crimes.
!. To secure the election of county coun.
ellis, which will come together once a year
In a national council and agitate for home
rule on conditions not less favorable than
those offered in Mr.. Gladstone's celebrated
s. Preference for articles OF Irish manu-.
facture In all public contracts.
3. preservation of the Gaelic language
and the teaching thereof in all publicly
supported schools and colleges.
10. Maintenance of trades union rules and
rates OF wages by all public bodies.
The work OF the league In this country, IN
addition TO the raising OF funds, will be to
publish the actions OF the league and the
opposition of the government OF Great Brit
ain, SO that all persons In the United States
may be familiar with the situation.
In other cities collections were taken
when the Irish ENJOYS were in this coun-
try. St. Louis, Chicago and New York con-
tributed many thousands OF dollars TO the
fund; st. Joseph. Mo, raised over 1000.
No collection was taken In Omaha, but the
promoters OF the league believe that al
least $1,000 can be raised among the men
who sympathize with the movement in this
city In a short time and that, through the
local branch, a stated amount annually may
be turned into the general fund for such .
period of time as may be necessary.

FINISHING TOUCH IN AUGUST
Union Paci6C's New Shops Will Be Done
Inside Of Two Months.
NEW MACHINERY AND FIXTURES GOING IN
smokestack Now over Hundred Feet
High. Half It's Ultimate Reach
Roof 60 BE Finished in
Two Weeks.

The Union Pacihc's new Omaha shops
will be completed and ready for use by the
middle OF August, providing the weather
man improves his conduct. That is the
time within which the contract says the
work must be finished, but II will require
different weather than that OF the last
few weeks to meet the conditions OF the
agreement, the contractors say.
When completed the company will have
in these structures a new roundhouse,
boiler and machine shops and a new power
house. The entire structure will be
equipped with new machinery and fixtures,
the installation of which is involved in the
contract as necessary to the completion Of
the work. The machinery is being put in
as rapidly as possible as the building pro-
crosses.
A large force Of men, about $50, is now
at work on these buildings and every effort
is being made to advance the labor, but
the men have been seriously retarded by
the rainy days, which make 1t impossible
for the bricklayers to accomplish much.
The bricklayers are putting in their strong
est work now on the large smokestack,
which when completed will be 200 feet and
six inches in height. The most dfficult part
OF this stack is up and the height at pres
ent is 105 feet. The foremen say from
now on it should be possible to raise from
Ave to seven feet a day or finish 1t within
at least twenty days. with this work out
Of the way the bricklayers will have ac-
complished their mos: dif1cult task and
will be at the end of their labors.
Carpenter work TO Come.
All the brick work outside OF that on
smokestack, the foremen say, can be, with
favorable weather, completed within four
or Eve days. The most that remains to be
done on the structure as a whole Is car
penter work and roofing.
The roof is we'll advanced, but the most
skillful part of this work yet remains. The
roof is to be finished with gravel and glass
and 1t is estimated that two weeks will be
required to finish this work. Almost all
the frame structure Of the roof has been
erected and the entire force at work on
that part Of the building soon will be avail
able for putting on the finishing touches.
Work began on the new shops January
16 and the men consider the progress made
entirely satisfactory in view Of the numer-
GUS obstacles which could not be avoided.
When completed the shops will enable the
company to meet Its demands with greater
facility and better actual results. For
some time there has been an urgent need
for more shop room and larger facilities
and it is expected that these improvements
will be entirely sufficient to meet every de-
mand. A much larger force Of men can. be
employed when the company sees fit to hire
them.
