That Ontnhii In to Have n Wheel Foundry Ana In Is Almost a Cortnlnty About the It may bo only a coincidence , hut it Is inter esting Just the same to note the appearance In Omaha Just at this tlino of Mr.V. . I 'aw- cott , who started the foundry at the Union Paclllo shops some twenty odd years ago , and superintended the manufacture of all tlio car wheels used on the system. Ho was hereabout about llftoou years and was Induced to re turn two or three times after leaving , as for some reason his successors did not seem to got along well. When ho finally loft for good it was but a short time until the manufacture of car wheels hero was discontinued. A shoit tiino ago it was decided to again begin the manufacture of car wheels nt the Union Pacillo shops , and it Is interesting to note In this connection the rcaupoarnnco of Ml. l awcott. That gonilomnn was soon nt the Mlllard yesterday afternoon and admitted that ho wan out of n Job nt the present lime. Ho has been In the employ of the Bartmtn & Rich ardson Car Wheel Manufacturing coinpnny of Rochester , N. V. , which had live facioiies , Mr. Fawcott being connected with the ouo at Jersey City , N. J. , which was conducted under the nnmo of the Wnshbuiii'Huut Furnace company. The senior member of the linn was Mr. William H. Barnum , whoso tluatih occuirod seine two days ago , and now tlio heirs are closing up several of the establishments , which is how It hannons that Mr. Fawcott Is now out on a to.ir of observation. Talked Alont Car Wheels , In opening of the car wheel Industry , Mr. Fawcott stated that the eastern factories could not compote with these of the west iu furnishing wheels for the western roads , and the Chicago house captured a gicat deal of the trade in this lino. When nskod about the 10 establishment of ix car-wheel foundry hero he said that ho understood that It was soon to be effected , and that Mr , McLoary was to bo the prime pushor. "Tho master mechanic of the Union Pacific tolls mo , " snld Mr. Fawcott , "that they aio using about 100 wheels a day. That would give employment to about twenty cr twuntv- nvo skilled or high-priced mechanics to turn them out. A factory much smaller than that would not pay so well , lor nowadays nil the money Is made by thn big concerns. " "Can wheels bo made bora as cheaply ai farther east i" "It's Just nhout a standoff. The raw metal has to bo shipped hero , but that Is about counterbalanced by the shipping of the old u heels back to Iho foundries to bo romoltcd. Labor Is higher hero , but 1 don't know that there is so very much dlfforenoo In the cost of manufacture. " What n Cur Wheel CONCH. "What Is the cost of a car wheel I" "Tho Union Padllo Is paving about t = 0 for each wheel. They ot the wheels from the foundry and mount them on the axles here nt T tholr shops. They use the same kind of wheel for both freight and passenger work. " "What do thov weigh } " "Tho Union Pacltlo folks Insist on n 000- pound wheel , but the New York Central , Lnko Shore and some others take a 5U1- jtouuder. The Erlo road fixes It at 550 , and ao It coos , the general run being between 550 and COO , which latter Is about tha limit. The Union Paclllo needs n heavy wbool to stand tha wear nud tear of the grades out in the mountain * . The question of weight depend * entirely on the Ideas of the master me chanic. " ' How nro the old wheels disposed of I" "Thoy nro bought up by brouers and sold uaclc to the foundries. They are worth about f 18 per ton , which makes a dlffoienco ot about f-.50 ) between an old wheel and a now ono. When they nio romelted from " 0 to-10 per cent new iron is added nnd they go out again. "A passenger wheel is guaranteed to run [ 50,000 miles and n freight wheel must stand the strain for a year , Of coarse , there are thousands of wheels going out of service and others taking their places every day of the year. Testing the Wheels. "Whon wheels are cast. It Is understood by the founder and thn road giving the order that ono wheel out of llfty or ono out of a day's worn is to bo broken by the inspectors , and If It fails to Bland the test the wbolo day's casting is condemned and has to bo done over. These wheels are then no bettor than the old ones , for it is not the wear and tear that hurts Iron , but tbo remcltlng , and condemned wheels have to bo toned up with now Iron the same as old ones. Wheel tap pers nnd inspectors have got It down so fine nowadays that they can toll by the ring of their hammer on a wheel whoth'ortho foundry cupola Is running hlch or low. " When asked if the object of his Omaha visit looked to his again making this cltv his homo , Mr. Knwcett replied that ho was on his way to visit his mother nt Manhattan , Kan. , and ha had Just stopped olt heio to moot n few old friends. Ho said , however , that It was n dead sure thing that the manu facture of car wheels at the Union Pncltlc shops was to bo again begun , Western Pensions. WASISIVOTOV , D. f ! . , Nov. II.

The meeting of the county commissioners yesterday was as quiet and uneventful as a day in Juno. The session opened with all the members present except Major Paddock , who came in later. Two bids were received for doing grading on the Millltnry road between Benson and Halcyon heights and Chairman O'ICoofo called the attention of the board to the fact that there was no money In the fund , Mr. Timmo suggested that tbo grading was important and that It might bo douo now and j > aul for next year If the contraotor would wait. The bids wore opcnoa and lead. At this point Major Paddock entered and Mr. Btirlm requested that a communication from the county Judge and cletk bo loud.

Ho cited n case where a man had committed suicide by shooting and ho said that a Dill would soon bo lecolvod for nn examination on the body of Lindholm , who committed suicide b > bung ing. Ho thought there should bo aom'o way of putting a stop to such useless squander ing of the county funds. Mr. Timmo offered a resolution requiring that phystoluns making postmortem examinations should fuinlsb the commissioners with mi itemized statement , giving the name , dnto and reason for holding such examination and Mich other facts as were necessary.
