Burlington Line
Omaha Man Succeeds George B. Dun
bar in Chicago as Assistant
General Auditor.

Harry ID. Foster of Omaha, auditor Of
disbursements Of the Burlington lines west
of the Missouri river, win become assistant
general auditor of the Burlington route in
Chicago on March /. He will succeed
George y. Dunbar, who will retire on that
date after twenty-seven years service.
Mr.. Foster has been in the local offices
about five years. coming here from Chi
cage as assistant TO w. p. Durkee, the
general auditor of the lines west. Prior
to his work in Chicago he was connected
with the offices at st. Joseph, Mo.
Mr.. Foster will be succeeded in Omaha
by ]. d. Shields, now auditor of ticket ac-
counts in Chicago. This appointment will
bring back to Omaha a man who was
drafted from the lines west of the river
about a year ago. Mr.. Shields was for
merly auditor OF freight and ticket &C
counts in Omaha in the position now held
by ]. w. Newell. No appolntee has been
named to take Mr.. Shields place.
Mr.. Dunbar's retirement ends a long term

In connection with the fight being made
by the Omaha jobbers to retain the diff
ferential freight rate, now in existence be-
tween New York and Chicago and which
governs about 45 per cent Of the trade.
the L~ackawanna railroad holds fast to its
position asking for a readjustment and in
creased rates.
A year and "A half ago there was inaugu-
rated from New York an additional a~ll-rail
differentiai by the New Haven road on a
scale, New York to Chicago, Of 10 cents
below the STANDARD all-rail rates. 1t has
since been changed to a 6-cent scale, the
same as the ocean and water. It's contin-
uance is predicated on the existance Of any
other all-rall differential, That the com
pany has also established an ocean and rail
differential which Il ~justifies by the other
ocean and rail differential routes, which
exist by virtue OF outlets afforded by GER
tain trunk lines IN the Central Freight as
sociation territory,
The Grand Trunk was the only railroad
that would not agree to advance the rail-
rate to 20 cents and add a differential to

John V. Carlisle, a farmer living near

by negroes Monday night and recovered the

He had with him about $50 In cash and
two cashiers checks, one for $1,000. drawn
through the Farmers National bank Of
Kearney. and another for 500, drawn
through the Commercial National bank Of
Kearney.
Passing down Thirteenth street he was
accosted in the dark by a colored woman,
who asked him IL he could make change for
a dollar. He stopped to the
woman, when he was bounced upon by her
companions and his pocket book, contain
ing the two checks and all his cash was
taken. He felt that resistance was useless
and escaped from his assailants, went to
the police station and reported his loss. The
drag net was thrown out, but failed Of
results.
Mr.. Carlisle determined not to give up
the search for his valuables and remained
over in the city until Tuesday morning.

that It Is impossible to get decent
soft crab anywhere west of the first

In Chicago the soft crab is a mere
