Such a siderably’less time than the trains on the railroad. The cars are operated on a regular schedule, which calls for speed up to the limit which the state law permits. They carry from five to nine passen- gers on a trip and are always wefl “laden with baggage. Each car makes a round trip every day, coyering more than 260 miles, They make the run over the moun- tains entirely on high gear, which is impossible for most cars, especially when heavily loaded. The Cadillacs are averaging more than ten miles per gallon of gasoline, and better than 600 miles per gallon of oil. ‘They are standing the test of this severe serv- fice admirably, and before the year is ended, those now on the road will have traveled more than 60,000 miles. 25.748 more patd W, months 1916 than in same period 1916— nearly 1,000 more each week.

Geisler, Just 18, | Oharges 21.Year-Old Hus- band With Oruelty. MARRIAGE A SUDDEN ONE | Hazel M. Geisler has brought suit asking divorce from Howard Geisler, with whom she eloped to Papillion February 26, 1916. Geisler is the son of Max Geisler, well known local dealer in birls and animals, and his wife. formerly Miss Hazel Maxwell, is a prominent South Side girl. At the time of their mar- riage Geisler was barely 21 years old and his wife was just 18, Mrs. Geisler charges extreme cru- elty in her petition. She avers her husband has abused her frequently and that his conduct makes it impos- sible for her to live with him. The young people attempted to set up housekeeping, but according to friends were unable to dwell amicably together. Their marriage was a sudden one and followed a short acquaintance. F. W. Judson Host to Employes at Wild W@-Spectacle F. W. Judson, general manager of the Midland Glass and Paint com- pany, took 200 of his employes to the Frontier Days’ show this year in- stead of giving them the regular pic- nic which has been tendered them heretofore, “I have heard so much of the Fron- tier Days' show that I simply cannot resist giving my employes the benefit of sceing one of the most wonderful exhibitions ever given in Omaha,” Mr. Judson asserted. “It is not only en- tertaining, but educational as well, showing as it does the old pioneer days in real living pictures that do more to impress one than any printed or written story. “I feel that it will also make the boys and girls have even a higher re- spect for their wonderful city, Omaha, because it will clearly show that it was but a few years ago when it be- gan to feel the'civilizing influences of the strong characters who have builded it from a prarie town to a wonderful mid-west metropolis. Yes, it will be a fine thing for my boys and girls to see this show.” They were at the show yesterday, 200 strong. (o East to Plan For the Next Year George F.

MILLERS RUN RATES UP The black rust scare in the Dakotas and Minnesota this morning forced wheat up fast on the Omaha market, and the bidding was the most spirited seen in years. Cash wheat and fu- tures leaped upward and upward, and | still the millers and the traders in fu-| tures continud to bid. | Mill representatives from north, east and south were on the floor bid- | ding for the No. 2 hard Nebraska wheat until they ran it up from $1.05| to $1.14 a bushel and lapped up prac- | tically the entire 100,000 bushels of-| fered on the market. Twenty-two car- loads brought the top figure. On cash wheat the advance was 2% to 3| cents per bushel. | The trading in futures mounted to some 500,000 bushels, probably the heaviest trading in futures done in/ Omaha this year. This was for Sep- tember and December delivery. The September option opened at $1.0834 and went to $1.1235. The December opened at $1.11% and went as high | as $1.15%. | Buy Everything Oftered. The demand for wheat was brisk and the bidding spirited, outside buy- ers being anxious to secure every- thing offered, regardless of the 2 to 3 cents advance that came over night and which held during the entire ses- | sion, The cause for the sharp advance was attributed to a continuation of rust dlmlfie reports coming from the fields of Minnesota and the Dakotas. Some of the reports Were to the ef- fect that in the Dakotas and in north- ern Minnesota, many' fields have been so badly damaged that the yield,! which is of a poor quality, will not be sufficient to pay for the harvest- | in% orn shared in the advance on| wheat, though not to such a great ex- tent, the rise being only a cent a bushel.

Few cars, even with a run- ning start, hold high gear to the top. C. E.

The car is usually traveling 27 miles an hour when it tops the rise, Hills encircle Cincinnati, and Clifton Avenue is one of the longest. In demonstrating, Fred T.
