NEW MAIL SERVICE IN OMAHA
Improved Facilities Obtained which
VIII Accommodate Both Business
and Resident Districts.

After many months hard work on the
part of Postmaster Palmer and the postal
railway superintendent OF the Sixth divi-
sion to accomplish that end, Omaha is
about TO be favored with an improved mail
service between Omaha and Chicago
This service will consist Of the assembling
OF all frst-class Omaha mail between
Omaha and Chicago on the mail trains,
particularly those arriving here early in
the morning by making a city distribution
of the mails on the trains and placing them
I'm packages for immediate delivery to the
letter carriers on their routes. so that
morning mail can be distributed through
out the business districts from an hour
and q half to two hours EARLIER than under
the present plans. Hitherto much of the
most important eastern mail was first TO
be taken to the postoffice and their re-
distributed to the carriers at the office,
and it generally arrived to late for the
early morning deliveries, thus entalling a
delay of from one TO three hours
George Hurst, for seventeen years a dis
tributing clerk in the Omaha office. and
william II. stribling, similarly employed
for three years. have been transferred from
the Omaha office to the Chicago and Coun-
Gil Bluffs division Of the railway postal
service to distribute the Omaha mails as
sembled on this train in conformity with
the new arrangement.
The mails also viii be so distributed by
these special distributors for the various
substations OF the city, so that suburbs
may also receive the benefit of the inn
proved service.
Douglas B. McCary of 2534 Hamilton
street, and Fred r. Nugent, 1906 North
Twenty-sixth street. postofice clerks have
been appointed to the vacancies created by
the transfer OF Hurst and Stribling.
A new railway mail service on the Rock
| Island road between Omaha and Fairbury
went into effect Friday. The want of such
mail service has long been felt between
the two cities. Efforts at once will be
put forth to secure an improved service
on the Rock Island east Of Omaha.

Commission After Elevators.

COMMISSION AItcT EI6VdtOFS.
The state board of railroad commits,
sioners has filed sensational supple
ment to its annual report which went
to the governor last week recommends
ing legislation In protection of grain
producers against the combination OF
elevators.
In the report filed last week refer
ence was made to the inadequate &C.
commodations given elevators on raik
road rights of wav. In the suppie
mental report, which comes from the
pen of Commissioner e. A. Dawson,
the theory is advanced that 1t Is the
duty of railroads which lease sites to
elevators to prevent combinations OF
the lessees in respect to prices.
1t is the theory Of the commission
that elevators are merely branches CT
railroad common carriers and that
the railroads are under the same oh.
legation 10 the public In the operation
of the railroads proper. And the
commission does not believe that tina
railroad company can escape it's legal
obligation by leasing the property.
Protection of the public can be
achieved by proper stipulation and
provisions In the elevator leases, In
the judgment of the railroad commits
sion.

ES LETTER


Busse Gets Postponement.
Louis Busse, wife murderer, has
been given a new lease OF life through
the intercession of the Justices Of the
supreme court with Governor Cum
Minis.
The date for his execution has been
fixed for the fifth time, for Jam. IL.
1907. But In the meantime q hearing
has been granted by the governor on
the question Of cummutation Of the
death penalty to life Imprisonment,
on Jan. 3, 1907.
On the 18th the children OF Busse
and his sister and brother acoompan-
led his attorney, e. A. Dawson, wbaa
the latter appealed ID the governor
Tor Communication of the sentence or
for postponement of the date for the
death penalty. The children are u
boy aged 10 and girl aged 8, and
they mingled their tears with those
of their aunt and uncle, suffering a
grief so genuine that 1t Is believed
they fully realize that the shadow
of the gallows had fallen upon them,
and what 1t all meant, even back to
the horrible tragedy which deprived
them of a mother and suspended q
moose above the head of their father.
And the same morning personal plea
from Busse found its way through the
mails to the governors desk.
Five Of the supreme judges have
recommended to the governor the
! communication of the death sentence
to imprisonment fer life. The judges
have acted In their individual capac-
ity. The reason assigned for the rec
ommendation is the fact that upon the
appeal from the Judgment of convic-
ton the court divided evenly, three
of the judges holding that there nad
been a fair trial and three holding
that there had not been a fair trial
Of the accused.
In view of this division, 1t is felt
that 1t would be contrary to public
policy to execute the sentence of
death.
The remaining Judge recommended
simply that the fact stated In the
foregoing should have most careful
consideration.
Upon this showing Governor Cum
minis felt that this former conclusion
ought to be reviewed, and In order
to give the attorneys who represent
the state on the trial In the district
court an opportunity to be heard he
postponed the execution
