pGrtment to secure better mail facllitt'
out OF Omaha to tap the Burlington sys-
tenn at OF near Ashland, Neb to connect
with the through Burlongton flyer from

1t is now being suggested to the de-
partment that a stub mail train be run
from Omaha TO Ashland. thus gaining
many hours over the present dispatch of
mail from Omaha to points east and west.
An inspector has been detailed to look
over the suggestion and report. If Il is
found practicable, there is little doubt that
uch additional service will be established.

cent visit to Washington, Charles Rose

with the department Representative Hitch

DANGER PASTSAYS HARTMAN
Railroad Magnste Talks Business
Before Sailing for Europe.
FOOLISH FEARS CAUSED PANIC
Says FURRY of 1907 Was Unnecessary
and Due 20 Anti-RaiIrOnd Feel
ing and Resulting Want
of Confidence.

NEW YORK. May 31.--On tn eve of his
departure for Europe to visit Paris and
Vienna and possibly Austrian health re-
sorts recommended to him by his physi-
clans, E. H. Hartman today analyzed the
conditions which had made possible the
panic Of 1907 and gave his reasons for be-
lieving that whatever dangers had existed
Tor return of those ssaditions were now
passed. ~
THE business of the country is on a
very substantial basis" said Mr.. Hartman
IAN that is needed is a realization. on the
part OF the farmers of the preparations for
prosperity which have been so literally
made. There are now more acres in Guilt
walton than ever before in the history of
the country and il we have favorable
weather and correspondingly large crops,
l look for happy times. There will be
big burst Of speculation and rise in the
price of everything, but these will quickly
grade down from the top to whatever level
the crops will make logical The time is
ripe, however, for a warning as to the
proper employment of idle money. We
should be careful that this money be not
devoted to the development OF fake pro-
jects, but, on the contrary, used in the up
building of real undertakings resting upon
solid foundations
Panic of Sentiment, Says MaRnRte.
There was no necessity for the 1907
panic That panic was directly caused by
the extraordinary Lands decision and the
general attitude prevailing at the time
against the railroads and corporations gen.
orally. Theer is no mistake about this l
know what l am talking about because
went through II all. 1t was a panic OF SEN
timent-a disaster caused by the fear of
something that did not happen. 1t fright
ened people into Withdrawing their money
from circulation.
THE next panic will be something more
serious. because It will be due to shrinkage
of business. AS far as the mental attitude
of the public is concerned, we are no a
saner basis today than we were in 1907
II we keep going up, however. and come
down, 1t will hurt more after we have
gone up three or four Stories"
Mr.! Hartman spoke haltingiy, often
stopping as IL cropping for words to match
his thoughts. Again and again he reverted
to the subject Of crops, laying strong en-
phasis on the point that the lasting pros
perity Of the country depended upon that
and that only question as to the ulti-

Statue of Lincoln

Simple Ceremonies Attend Unwilling

dent Near Old Home.

HoDGENvILLE, KY, May a-In this
quaint little town there was today unveiled
a statue of Abraham Lincoln.
The ceremonies were simple. Mrs
Ben Hardin Helm OF Louisville. close
relative of Mrs. Lincoln, pulled the cord
that dropped the drapery and showed the
martyred president sitting In chair, his
face bearing the old, careworn' knoly
expression familiar to the people OF the
entire world.
1t had been intended by Artist Weine-
man of New York to reproduce the st.
Gaudens statue of Lincoln park, In Chi
cago, but protest from that city over
rode the consent given by the North Side
Park commission, and Hodgenvihe con-
sequently had it's original.
Special trains from Louisville and other
points nearby began arriving early and by
the time the ceremonies began-n o'clock
several thousand were crowded about the
platform surrounding the statue.
