been appointed by Gov. John M.
Slaton of that state to serve as
United states senator from Geor-
gia in place of Senator Bacon, who

during the days when Aldrich of
Rhode Island and Hale of Maine
were the powers controlling that
body. he held a high place. After
the senate was won to the demo-
Gratis he became one Of the great
influences in the national govern

Miss Bush's Piano Recital.
Miss Marie Bush appeared at the First
Baptist church last evening in piano re-
cital, under MIR. Max Landow's diree-
tion. Miss Bush played a highly serious
program. acquitting herself with great
credit. She plays with finish and tech
nical freedom. Her touch lie essentially
pianistic and her work is full of intel
ligence and careful well-balanced effects
She has a most fluent technique, and In
such numbers as the Liszt "Jeux d Faux"
and the Presto" of the Saint Saens Con-
certo, every note was clear and distinct
in spite of the rapidity of the tempo, and
the endurance necessary to perform them.
The first number on the program was
Bachs "Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue,"
which was presented in a most satisfac-
tory manner, the different voices being
at all times clear, and each entrance Of
the theme properly expressed. The
Beethoven Sonata" which followed Is one
of the more unusual ones, and was highly
effective, especially the second movement,
which gave opportunity for some lovely
tonal work. The Schumann "Kreis-

SILVER LINING TO CLOUDS
Vice President Munroe of the Union
Pacific Sees Bright Outlook.
QUIT TALKING HARD TIMES
Pcssimists Are disappearing and
Are Turning TO Optimists and
Certain Indications of
Bumper Crops Continue,

They have quit talking hard times,
and this TO my mind indicates that the
people are beginning to see the silver
lining to the clouds that some months
ago caused so many to predict and feel
that there was going to be lengthy
period Of depression" said j. A. Mum
roe. vice president Of the Union Pacific,
after going through a large number Of
letters from business men in all sections
of the country. Continuing Mr.. Munroe
remarked
"A few weeks ago the people OF the
country were all, or at least a majority
Of them were pessimists. Now they have
changed and have organized into great
army of optlmists, They not only see
the silver lining, but they feel that bet
ter times are on the way and they are
announcing il from the housetops, so to
speak.
I'm the central west, especially in this
territory the business men and others
have been optlmists all the time, and In
the west they have been fairly optimistic.
/ 1t was in the east more particularly in
the manufacturing and factory districts,
where hard times talk was the rule.
| There. though, a change has taken place
and people generally are looking at things
from a different viewpoint. Most Of them
see better business in sight and with
the starting up Of concerns that employ
large numbers of men and women, a
feeling that there is to be a return 90
prosperity is becoming quite general.
Right now, all through the grain pro-
ducing sections of the country, the pros
pects for the best crop in years are
daily becoming more certain. Should this
promised crop be harvested, there Is no
reason why a large portion of the United
states should not be unusually prosperous
during the next year. Prosperity In the
agricultural sections means prosperity IN
the cities and the manufacturing centers.

BIG CUT IN THE COAL RATE
Missouri Pacific Announces Reduc-
tion Forty Cents a Ton,
MAY NOT HELP THE CONSUMER
Local Dealers Say They Are Not
Ready to Say whether Omaha
Users of ArIxnns Coal wil
Get the Benefit.

The Missouri Pacific announces a cut
in the freight rates on all Arkansas coal
from the mines along It's lines and the
lines of the Iron Mountain route. Notice
of the new tariff has Just been given and
the rate will become effective June "a
The rate into Omaha from the Jenny
Lind group of mines, for instance, will
be $3.50 whereas heretofore and for years
II has been $3.50 per ton. The cut of 20
cents per ton applies to all territory
served by the Missouri Pacific group Of
roads
Whether or not the consumer will be
given the ~ cents per ton on Arkansas
coal is something that the Omaha coal
men contend that they cannot discuss in
telligently at this time.
At the offices of the Central Coal and
Coke company, one of the heaviest own
ers of Arkansas coal mines and one Of
the most extensive jobbers IN the west Of
these grades Of coal it was stated, Per
haps the consumer will get the reduction
and perhaps he win not That is a thing
that we cannot predict at this time"
At the offices of the c. w. Hull Coal
company, another, extensive jobber in
Arkansas coal. 1t was stated I'VE have
just received notice of the proposed cut
in rates on Arkansas coal and cannot say
now how the reduction OF 40 cents per ton
will be distributed. Perhaps the coal will
be advanced this much at the mines, or
perhaps what will be cut off in freight
rates may be added to the cost of output.
Perhaps the wage scale of the miners
may be advanced"
Asked If coal at the mines Is sold at the
same price as formerly. the consumer will
get the benefit of the 40 cents per ton
in reduction in the freight rate. all of
the dealers agreed, 1T is too early at this
time to discuss the question"
