Same Mail Grew
Gets Big Scare
Men Held Up in May Assembled for
First Time and Get Fright
at Same Place.

The crew of Overland Limited mail
clerks held up May % by the five bandits
convicted Thursday night had a scare at
the same place at the same hour and at
the same minute that the bandits heard
their fate. Add to this coincidence the fact
that for the first time since the robbery
the whole crew was reassembled Thursday
night, the situation is most striking.
The train invariably stops at Summit,
Just inside the South Omaha city limits,
as a precautionary measure, for a
moment or two. Thursday night the
train stopped a little more suddenly than
usual. and the mail clerk crew was more
or less startled and began to have visions
Of another holdup.
THE scare lasted only for a minute or
two" said one Of the clerks, but we were
scared good and plenty for that minute
or two, and not one OF us poked our heads
out Of the window to see what was up,
1t was a big relief to us when the train
started again"

COLONEL CODY WILL ASSIST
IN RECEIVING JAPANESE
Noted Pioneer and Snowman Arrives
n Omaha Trained TO tbs Min

Colonel w. F. Cody arrived In Omaha
Friday to make final arrangements for the
hunting trip which he and Mayor Dahlman
are TO take In the Rocky mountains near
Cody, Wyo. The colonel is enjoying ex-
cellent health, looking much better thar
when he was here with his show last
summer; in fact he carries his age so
we'll that one would not take him for one
OF the earlier pioneers Of the western
plains.
Buffalo Bin has closed one OF the most
successful seasons in his career as a
Snowman. and now has his show In win
ter quarters at Trenton, N. j., where he
has secured control OF the fair ground,
with large buildings for the housing Of
his wagons. and other paraphernRlia and
plenty Of place for his stock to run out.
AT the beginning OF the season Colonel
Cody formed a partnership with Major
Lily, and both have prospered in spite
OF a terrific show war which was waged
during the summer. At one time in Okla
homa the Buffalo Bin Wild West show had
as competitors the Ringlings, the 101 Ranch
show, the Sells shoE and one or two others
and several were forced to get out because
OF the strong competition.

HIWLEY TO Be RAIL KING
Said to Have Formed Alliance to Get
the Southern Pacific,
SUPPORTED BY STANDARD OIL
Latter Dumps Union Pacific and Bays
Southern Pacific and VIII rake
Huntington Estate Into
Combine.

There Is a report in railroad circles that
Edwin Hawley has effected an alliance
with the Standard oil interests and the
Huntington estate for control Of the
Southern Pacific, removing It from the
Hartman system OF railroads.
Standard on, the report goes, Is unload
ing Union Pacific and buying up Southern
Pacific as rapidly as possible and in this
connection a sharp bearish movement in
Union Pacific stocks is predicted. It will
be but a short time, this authority says,
until the Pacific roads will be widely sep
arated in ownership and what was the
celebrated Hartman system will become
distinct properties in themselves. This re-
suit many railroad men believe to be in
evitable. so far as Omaha is concerned
the indefinite continuation Of the old sys-
TEN would be highly desirable, for the
Union Pacific with the Southern Pacific
attached to its western end is a far
greater trunk line and artery Of com
merce than with the western extension
cut off and the advantages to the Gate
city Of the west are obvious.
HawIey Has six Roads.
Hawley already controls six railroads.
the Iowa Central and Minneapolis & ST.
Louis, which, however, form practically
one line now; the Chicago & Alton, the
Glover Leaf, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
and the Chesapeake & Ohio. That gives
him the mastery Of a neucleus sufficiently
strong to make possible a formidable or
ganization.
Hawley, it may be recalled, was picked
out by the late e. II. Hartman as the
coming railroad man of the country"
Beginning with the little Iowa Central,
Hawiey's rise has been almost meteoric
In the railroad world. His acquisition Of
The Chicago & Alton, in competition with
Hartman, was counted a distinct tri-
umph.
Iowa Man to BE Big Boss.
The triple alliance now reported contem-
plates the ~ascendency of the Hawley star
of conquest. The combination is not to
end with the acquisition Of the Southern
Pacific, but will proceed in search Of
other western roads~in the determination
OF building up a system greater even than
the one organized and left by Mr.. Harri-
man. With the power and Influence Of
the Standard and Huntington forces back
Of him Hawley, it is argued, will at once
Jump into the arena almost impregnable
against attack.
Interest in this report is accentuated be-
cause Of the fact that Standard Oil had
always been one of the main pillars under
the Hartman superstructure and that
now, so soon after the death of Hartman,
his strongest ally is to drive the wedge
to split the great Hartman organization.
Railroad men who have discussed the re-
port, agree that If this movement does
take form and the alliance does acquire the
Southern Pacific, it will go after the other
Hartman properties in time.

A Saloonkeeper for Temperance.

After his debate with Mayor Rose
Of Milwaukee on the liquor question
President Samuel Dickie received a
remarkable letter from saloonkeeper
of Toledo-C. Bartholomew, doing
business at 624 Monroe street DR..
Dickie was suspicious Of the letter at
first. but on investigation found it Ell.
tirely genuine. and written In good
faith. Mr. Bartholomew has kept q
saloon for many wears, but is so dis
gusted at length with the business
that he is getting out. HIS letter ex-
presses confidence that the prohibit
tion champion will easily get the bet
ter Of his antagonist In the saloon de-
bates and offers him a number of sug-
gestions for his arguments. The
writer says:
"There is nothing in the whole uni
verse that equals the waste produced
by liquor. Every drink you take rep
resents nothing-simply nothing. Lii

evil. l have watched the new begin

ing TO get full at any and all times.
1t is the coming generation that we
must protect. While prohibition may
not exist exclusively in time to come,
it will be the means Of eXterminating
tens Of thousands Of gr0gshops, which
will lessen the inducements Of our
boys To drink. The saloon is soon to
become thing of the past. The
brewers, the. salOonkeepers and the
distillers realize the fact, and they
are making the fight OF their lives,
but 1t has availed them nothing up TO
the present time. They are falling
not one by one but forty To eighty and
a hundred at lick. The liquor ele.
ment are holding up their time-worn
statistics TO show that il it were not
for the brewery and saoonkeepers to
pay the tax and use up the products
Of the country. the great and glorious
United States of America must fall.
Now, Mr.. Dickie, yoL just tell Mr..
Rose for me that the laboring COM
munity can well afford To pay the tax
direct from their own pockets, and
they would be saving 100 per cent on
the amount they were formerly spend
ing for booze"
