Senator Allen's failure to express himself concerning this measure Is considered sin- gular, for the reason that at the national convention of buttermakers in this city in February he said an address that he would favor the adoption of legislation for| » protection of dairy and creamery inter- ests The matter has been brought to the atten- | tion of Governor Poynter and it was ru- that he sent a telegram to Senator Allen advising him to stand by his former declaration BUTTER OF NO ORDINARY KIND udge at Dairymen's Exhibit Compli- 1 LINCOLN, Dec. 19.—(Special Teleg: —Dircctor G.

His case had been prosccuted on error to the supreme court and was pending there when Governor Pin- ardoned him. The oninion of the su- court upholding the pardon was nimous and Justice Moore, who dellv- i the opinfon held that though the court had not confirmed the finding of the jury in the lower court there had been a conviction within the meaning of the constitution, therefore ft was the gov ernor's right to pardon. The court nlso held that the governor had not exceeded his authority in directing that Marsh should PAY & fine to the state and that in accepting the pardon the condition went with it. Con- sequently it was possible to enforce the col- lection of the fine. Wil Make Pressed Steel Carw. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 19—A con- tract wae stzned today by President J.

In connection with the raquest of the packers that an additional clerk be ap- pointed at the postofiice in order that late mails may be handled, it kas been sug gested that 1 postal car be placed | operation to run between the packing houses, the stock yards and the varlous depots. This is done in other cities and it is nsperted that such a car can be attached to regular motor trains without any con siderable expense. With a complement of | clerks aboard the mail thrown onto the car by the packers can be sorted and | routed while the car is running in Omaha, and thus save at least an hour's time. Other stock yards have accommodations of this sort, it stated, and so very likely there will a request for som thing similar here. A postal can can tak in all of the packing establishments by running out to Thirty-third and Q street and all mail from the Live Stock exchang | can be thrown aboard at any convenient | point. It is the same with the mail from the three banks. This can be prepared at | a certaln time and messengers can l--' sent to the car. In this way a great deal of t!me can be saved and much better service given. The receipts at the South Omaha postofiice this year will reach $60,- 000, if not more, and on this account it is asserted that the authorities should show a great deal of consideration to this city On account of the lack of help here great deal of mail 15 sent to the Oma postoffice. This is done nightly by the packers and thus the number of canceled stamps is decreased because of the fact that proper facilities are not provided for the handling of the enormous mall of the big corporations.
