hinooka Family Has Narrow Es
cape from Death.

Mrs. Mary Mongan and her five small
children. living in Minooka, narrowly
escaped death in the burning of their
home, early yesterday morning.
The lower part OF the house was al
most filled with flames and smoke when
a neighbor, John Langan, broke in a
window, reached the upstairs and
aroused the sleeping inmates 1t was
with the greatest difficulty and without
moment TO spare that they were
gotten out.

His Great Pressure.

4'he German officer is nothing If not

OF truth in the following amusing Incl
dept, which comes from Berlin, says
the London Express:
a. sergeant was perpleXed how to
deal with bowlegged recruit. At last
he bethought himself of plan. TAX
ing a one mark piece, about the size of
smiling, he ordered the recruit to put
1t between his Knees and said, "Woe
oetide you if you let the money fall
before l come back in five minutesw
The unhappy recruit, with knees
pressed together, remained in that I'M
comfortable position for a minute, and
a. last, struck by happy idea, he took
the coin from between his knees and
pat 1T in his pocket.
When the sergeant hove in sight,
ha hurriedly replaced what he thought
L be the same coin. 1t was, however,
a two mark piece, about as large as a
fier1n. The sergeant smiled as he COM
pimented the bowlegged recruit on
te great pressure he must have ex-
eted on the coin between his knees.

COMPLAINT OF MAIL DELAYS
President Burt Issues Orders 20 Give

The presence Of three inspectors from the
United States Postofice department in
cities along the Union Pacific is announced
simultaneously with the statement that
President Burt has issued special orders
that full right OF way shall be given to all
through passenger trains. The reports that
the trains carrying United States mail have
frequently been behind time since the strike
began would not down, despite the fact that
they were persistently cOntradieted by
Union Pacific officials.
Word has been received at strike head

others had applied for their time and that

that owing to the increase in business they
had to do more work for the same pay. we
showed them satisfactorily that as they
worked on the mileage basis their pay in

business and the matter apparently ended
there"
Trainmen are very r%eticent, and lille
some do not hesitate to say that the plans
for the general demand will be carried out,
none will enter into a discussion Of the
matter. 1t is understood that the conduct

on the Union Pacific and the chairman Is
expected in Omaha within a few days to
see what can be done toward completing
plans at this end Of the line. 1t is consid-
cred especially significant that both the re-
ports this morning concern Hartman lines.

INDIAN SUMMER NEARLY OVER
Local Weather Observer says IL IL
About Time 10 start
Up

According to local Weather Observer
Welsh we have had the best Of our Indian
summer and the mercury has set in on a
downward course, which will carry US into
winter For the last few days the tempera-
ture has been steadily dropping like the
pulse OF a dying person and it is predicted
that summer can last only a short time
longer.
Although the weather OF this October has
seemed remarkable, a glance at the past
records shows that in reality II has not
been up TO the Nebraska standard. Taking
as an average the mean temperature OF each
day for twenty-five years. the first seven
teen days Of this month show a deficiency.
The seven days between the 18th and gath
being a very wide departure in the way Of
excess, has brought up the average for the
month to about normal.
For those who have taken occasion to re-
mark that this is remarkable weather for
this time OF the year il is pointed out that
a year ago yesterday the thermometer stood
At so degrees, and a year ago today al 70
degrees. The local record for an October
day was made on the 18th OF that month in
1883. when the mercury climbed to 90.
However, II is nov past the average time
for starting he winter fires in the furnaces
ana the lowering temperature throughout
this section indicates that Nature will soon

Edward Dickinson has resigned his POSI-
tion as general manager OF the Union Pa

pseT of a third Of a century,
and has accepted that OF wee

yesterday from his once at the general
headquarters building in Omaha and also by
President A.. Z. Stilwell OF the Orient roaa
at Kansas City. Dickinson will be located
at Kansas City.

present place when Mr.. Dickinson goes, so
far as is known, although 1t is thought he
may go with his old superior later. A
number OF changes among the ~oficials at
Union Pacific headquarters are looked for
as a result OF Mr.. Dickinson's leaving.
IL is believed that all those who were re-
garded as closest friends Of Dickinson,
some OF whom are known not to be especial
favorites Of President Burt. will go In
time.
Mr.. Dickinson's leaving an old and pow
erful road to go to one whose construction
work has not progressed much beyond the
hundred mile mark, has aroused consider
able comment. especially In view Of the
fact that Mr.. Dickinson's reputation as a
railroad man ranks with the best. II is
agreed that Il took some very substantial
inducements to get Dickinson TO identify
himself with the projected road, 1t being
admitted that the association Of such Q
man with any such road would be OF vast
benent to the latter. 1t is understood in
this connection that Mr.. Dickinson gets IN
on the construction contract, without which
Il is believed he would not have accepted
the proposition. The impression also pre-
walls that some OF the powerful money fac
tors Of the railroad world are back Of the
Stilweu project, which gives II an element
Of substantially. What Mr.. Diokinson's
salary is to be is. Of course, not known out

present position is $4,000 a year.
DickinsOn's Successful Career.
Edwar Dickinson was born at Cumber.
land, Md, October 8, 1850. He began his
career as a messenger boy in the service o.
the Cleveland q Toledo railway at the ag,
of IS. After two years service with thai
road and six years with the Atlantic a

and baggageman. he received an oner from

yised schedules based on the three prin.
ciples mentioned in the above report from
Oakland. The agreement held that every
trainmen's lodge should stand out for the
provisions of this demand until IL was
granted by every road; that II all but one
road granted the demand operations would
cease throughout the country until the man
agement Of that one road yielded. No strike
was contemplated, but the plans provided
that as a last recourse a strike would be
declared.
The reports Of the action or plans on
the Southern Pacific seem to harmonic
exactly with the original plans and IL is
believed hat the demand will be made on
other ROADS now directly. The report that
the Union Pacific Board Of Directors has
taken up the matter has given rise to two
views. Ont is that the trainmen have
quietly presented their demands to the
general manager or president and that the
case somehow has been carried to the
directorate. The other theory is that the
report has the s~hopmen's strike on the
Union Pacific confused with the plans OF
the trainmen and that II is the shipments
strike which the directors have under con-
sideration.
President Burt's office was consulted re-
gardipg the New York report yesterday
and this statement was made:
I'VE do not know what the report means.
The trainmen have made no demands here.
We certainly are inclined 10 think that
there is nothing in the story"
This question was asked:
do you think the directors are consid-
ering the strike Of the shopmen and that
the report is a confusion? ?"
I'VE don't know. OF course, what the d.
r~ectors are considering, but we don't think
they are considering this strike"
what General Managers say.
TIL general managers OF the Elkhorn,
Union Pacific and Burlington have, prior "a
this time, been asked IL they had been APP
preached with this universal demand and
their answers were in the Negative. Only
recently have each Of the roads signed up
new schedules with some OF their trainmen.
However. it is positively known that on the
Union Pacific there is an undercuTrent OF
dissatisfaction
General Manager Bidwell Of the Elkhorn
was seen on this proposition yesterday and
