seems to ne Much Heavier
Than Usual,

Christmas mail traffic IN Omaha railway
stations is reaching figures greater than
tn Omaha postal men ever handled before.
Besides the great piles OF ordinary maiiable
matter hundreds OF trucks carrying the
red and white sacks holding registered
mail have ben hauled out TO the trains.
At the Council Bluffs transfer there is
a busy scene each morning when tho night
trains from the east transfer their mail
burdens to the through trains from the
west. A now system OF placing the trains
from the east between two OF the western
trains. so that the mail can be unlOaded
more quickly directly into the western
trains, has been installed lately. As there
aro two western mail cars TO every one
car carrying mail from the east this can
be done very easily, the other half OF the
cars being filled with the sacks originating
from Omaha.
The new railway postofCce b.U1.ng I'm

after New Years it win be oprned for
use.
Passenger travel Is also rushing this sea

cHACAGO, Dec. A-Bull leaders took aa-
vantage OF the absence of selling pressure
In the wheat market today and sent up
prices. Corn strength was an AID ana there
WINS also assistance from the dry weather
throughout Kansas, Oklahoma and most
OF Missouri. Closing figures were the same
as last night Corn made a net advance OF
SO to Jsdj1c, and provisions at the wmdup
varied from l0c advance to 7l9q10c decline
Wheat started weak on beartsh Foreign
developments. However, no rain had fallen
in the winter wheat belt OF the United
states and there was renewed FEAR OF
drought damage. Another source OF encour-
agement for the bulls lay In the fact that
primary receipts for the week showed quite
a falling off, although arrivals southwest
were running heavy again, principally at
Kansas City. Under these circumstances.
a rather aggressive attitude on the part OF
prominent longs proved sufncient 70 over
come initial depression. May ranged from
96Ikc to 9glkc and closed firm at S67Sc, a
net gain OF shade.

Check Crook Regrets
CrOOkedness of Pal
Harry Collins, on Way to Prison,
Finds that Companion Took
His Fine Clothes.

Harry Collins, who pleaded guilty to rails
ing a check and was sentenced to serve
two years in the peniteniary by Judge
Estelle Saturday says he is convinced of
the falsity Of the maxim, There is honor
among thieves" He says they are Just
az dishonorable as anybody else.
After he was sentenced Saturday morn
ing he went down to the police station
to secure his two suit cases, which, he
said, contained two suits of clothes, a lot
Of fine silk underwear and pyjamas, and
some other valuable personal effects.
Reaching the station he learned that Jacob
Schlutter, who elaborated with him in
raising the check and getting the money
for 1t, played a mean trick on him.
When Collins and a sheriffs deputy were
on their way back to the county jail Col
Inns told about property at the police sta
ton. He said the police took It away from
him when they arrested him a few weeks
ago. He wanted to go and get 1t. That
sounded fair enough to the deputy. But
alas for hope. The desk sergeant said:
''schlutter took those suitcases and
clothes with him when we sent him back
to the Missouri pen to finish a term there. u
Collins and Schlutter induced an &C.
quaintance by the name of Adrus to give
them an IS check by giving him IS dollars
and explaining that they wanted to send
the check to a friend in Kansas City in
lieu of a money order, the postoffIce money
order department being closed. Andrus wal
willing. He started to unlock his desk to
get pen and ink when Collins offered him
his fountain pen. The check was made
and given. Collins and Schlutter added q
'0' to the figure IS" and a "y" to the
word eight" Then they had the check
certified by a bank cashier. They were
caught shortly after they got the check
cashed.

OMAHA. Dec. "a. 1910.
The eastern disturbance is central over

A barometric depression of considerable
energy has developed in the northwest and
general rise In temperature Is shown
everywhere west Of the Missouri river. The
northwest depression will move over tho
central valleys and will bring unsettled
weather in this vicinity tonight and prob
ably Sunday 1t will be warmer In this
