LOST REGISTERED LETTERS
FOUND IN QUEER PLACE
Missed From a Maneled Mail Bag,
They are Recovered From
Car Trucks.

var lTuCkS.
1t does not alwayscfoilbw that the
disappearance of, registered mail
packages indicate n robbery of the
mail. This was demonstrated on
The Overland Limited train No. Q
Friday, November 9Th. when a pack
age of five registered letters from
Schuyler disappeared between that
point and Omaha.
The recovery of the lost package
was as strange as its disappearance.
The Schuyler pouch is picked up
from a crane by means of a pouch
catcher as the train passes. This
pouch catcher Is attached to the mail
car and hooks onto the pouch sus-
pended from the crane as the train
passes. In this particular instance
the pouch catcher did not make a
good catch and the pouch fell under
the wheels of the train and was cut
in two. The mail was scattered along
the track for a considerable distance.
but the five registered letters. which
were in a packet, could not be found
when the other mail was picked IN
a. ~ At jim DltNtlltu lUdI
the registered package had beer found
and kept by some III and it was re
ported as lost.
Postoffice Inspector l.. A. Thomp.
son was started out to investigate. His
first visit a TO Council Bluffs to
make inquiries of the postal clerks
on the ear. and scarcely had he
reached there when he received word
that the registered package had been
found by the car cleaner resting snug
ly on the trucks under the dining
car, where it had been blown or
thrown when the mail pouch was
flung under the wheels at Schuyler.
That the package was o injured
In the slightest, nor Jared from it's
position on the trucks, is simply an
other tribute to the Union Paciflc's
unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.

THE A DO WELL.
Make More Money Under Two.Cent
Fare Law.

The Minneapolis & Omaha, whose
net earnings per mile for the year end
ing in June, 1907, just after the lower
rates went into effect, was $1,S54.91,
and for the year ending in June, 1909,
when all freights and passengers were
moved at the lower rates, S1.S99,56.
The gross earnings in Nebraska
amounted to $t,725, 29S.46 for the 1907
period, and $1,S17,72S.42 for 1909. The
passenger earnings for the 1907 period
amounted to s422, 543.S3, and for 1909,
sass, 3S4.53. The total cost of oper.
alton amounted TO 81. .5S1 .95 in 1907
and for 1909, 81 1921, 933.21. The bust
ness done by the railroads in Nebraska
for the years ending June 80. 1907 and
June 30. 1909. a year when the lower
freight rates and passenger rates were
not in force and a year when they
were in force. shows that the net earn
ings of all the railroads have in
creased except the Missouri Pacific.
The Union Pacific has not yet re-
ported. The Northwestern increased
its earnings per mile from 81, 199.74 to
S2.3SA73; the Burlington from So
710.55 to S3,l02. 40; the Rock Island de-
creased from s 1,0S7.47 to $l,13S.62, but
its increase in operating expenses vas
greater than this. The Missouri Pa
cifc decreased its earning from $3.50
3S to $i51.S5. The following is O

Coon Y WHEAT" Now MEANS
SOMETHING. Eastern dispatches de-
clare that the unparalleled activity OF
the wheat market has disturbed many
other kindred interests. Flour IN
Chicago is expected to 20 mp To -
per barrel. and rye flour Is coming IN
demand. the price of which has not
vet been materially affected. The
bakers in Chicago have agreed 10
raise the price Of leaves two cents.
II was either this. 90 out of business
or bankruptcy. The high cost OF
flour is not the only problem that has
been before the bakers of the windy
city for decision, and the bakery
wagon drivers are demanding more
wages. More than - bakers in Chi
cdgo have been driven out of business
since the rise in wheat and the en-
forcemcnt of the law relating to sanl-
tation. James 4. Patteu seems To
regard the situation from a serene
point of view. He is planning to I'M
load more of his holdings of the May
cereal, and is apparently mistaken IN
the belief that the prices will con
tinue on the top shelf. Late ac-
counts, however, state that he is be-
coming excessively tired of public
comment, much of which is beginning
to partake of an accrbity that is nei-
Their gratifying to the taste nor an
assurance of personal safety.
