Western railroads have their eqnip:

Of business and the general managers
of the roads west Of the Missouri river
are all expecting heavy trafic this
fall, says an Omaha dispatch to the
New York Herald. Business is stead
lily progressing in both freight and
passenger lines. and from every indi.
cation this fall will be one Of the
busiest seasons the western roads
have ever had.
Let the business come, and come
with q rush. The western roads are
ready for it and expect It" is the com
bined expression Of the general man.
ayers of Union Pacific. Burlington and
Northwestern railroads.
General Manager Mohler of the
Union Pacific says: I'VE are antici-
pating an increase in business and we
are prepared to handle it. We have
our equipment in such shape that we
are prepared for the fall rush. We
have maintained large force of men
In the shops and have been working
on our equipment until everything is
In first-class order. The tremendous
crops which are now maturing in
Union Pacific territory guarantee our
road a business to its capacity for the
coming fall and winter"
George w. Holdrege, general mana.
ger Of the Burlington lines west of the
Missouri river, says: "This talk about
letting the rolling stock run down in
order to save expenses is all bosh. We
have maintained a large force of our
repairers all the time, and. our equip.
ment is in frst-class shape. The Bur.
ltngton has few bad order cars, but
we are. in shape to turn them out as
fast as we want them, and we expect
to need them soon, every one of them.
STOCK shipments are already heavy
and will be heavier from our territory
The heavy crops of corn, wheat and
oats which everything indicates will
be raised in Nebraska and our terri
tory this year gives us the promise Of
all the business we can haudle."
General Manager Walter of the
Northwestern lines west of the Mis-
souri,. says: Instead of the North.
western line retrenching in the matter
of car equipment, we have done just
the opposite. We have added to our
rolling stock and we have taken ad
vantage of the dull times to get our
cars, both freight and passenger, in
the very best possible condition in
anticipation of the time when they
would all be needed, just as we always
! need them when crops are good"

inal court Of Baltimore. February Z,
1901. after a trial which aroused more
interest here than any case OF the last
decade, and was sentenced 20 serve
five years in the penitentiary.
FOR twenty-five years Miss Caspari

Sunday school had handled its funds.
Judge Morris. of the United States

reputation was OF the very bot that
she was trusted and confided in by all
who knew her.

Miss Caspari herself testified at the
trial that $1,000 belonging to Baltimor-
cans had been invested IN two principal
concerns with which she said she was
connected the New York and Southern
Christmas and Easter Leahet Company
and the Northern and Western Kinder
garten Company OF Boston. Neither OF
these concerns, so far as afterward
