HAW CAMERAS CATCH THE PICTURE Anintrnr * nml I'rofe lonii ! fie After the .itrlftlr Movliitr Cnr * nml Cet Heitilti Hint Sur- IIHRH Kspvcliltlon * . The fast mall on tha Burlington was "shot" yesterday by about fifty amateur and professional photographers. A northwest breeze , dead ahead , a slightly Insufficient steam pressure and several other minor In terferences conspired to prevent the train from making tha promised speed of eighty miles an hour. The train was going , how ever , at a comfortably fast speed. The time as caught by Colonel W. J. Davenport with a stop watch over a measured portion of a mile , Indicated that the giant engine. No. f.35 , was plunging along with the load of SO.OOO pounds at sixty-nine miles an hour when It passed the point where the rmal ! army of camera fiends were waiting for it. The point selected was about three miles south of the city where the Burlington track comes Into a straight line after crossing Mosquito creek. The camera crowd had i'ls- trlbuted Itself along the track at 'he rotnt selected and had made all preliminary preparations before the train came Into sight. The cameras represented all sorts of boxes , from the size ot a small Saratoga trunk In the hands of a professional , who was bent upon making a picture that would have a marketable value , as well as Intrinsic merit , down to the timorous young man who held a pasteboard snapper , the size of a Waterbury watch , and regarded it with tp- prebcnslon. undecided whether It was liable to explode or turn Itself around and take a picture of his own anxious face Instead of the rushing railway train. The cameras were located on both sides of the track , and In all sorts of positions. When the train came in sight the nervous tension of the crowd and the statuesque positions uncon sciously assumed , made a picture that was more interesting than the approaching train. Each realized that there was only a small fraction of a second during which the shut ter must be worked to permit the flash of light to engrave the picture of the train In the middle of the sensitive plate. A frac tion of a second too soon and the picture would show waving Holds of grain and grasses ; a fraction too late and the mighty engine , the object of the greatest Interest to all , would have passed the confined field of view and the plate would show nothing but the rear ends of the common-place mail coaches. When the train came Into near view many of the photographers were disappointed. They had hoped that the firemen would have thrown a few scoops of fresh coal on the flre , so that dense volumes of black smoke would bo pouring up from the funnel. They had hoped that the engineer would pull the throttle wide open and open the cylinder cocks and let the pictures show the con trasts made by the \\hlte sheets of steam mingling with the dust and the dense black ot the coal smoke. The engine was work- ng hot , dry steam that was scarcely dis cernible a foot above the stack and the black cylinders did not show the faintest wreath of steam. But the camera manip ulators only had a second to lament. The train came into the field with a roar , but with a roar not loud enough to drown the whlr-r-r-r" of the shutters as they opened and closed as quickly aa skilfull manipula tion and powerful springs could make them. From the prolongation of the "whlr-r-r" it was evident that the train was photographed .n a good many different positions , and that some of the nerves operating Uhe cameras were too tense to relax In time to catch the train until It had passed the point de cided upon , while others were too quick and sent oft the shutters like an electric shock. Some of the more thouchtful camera owners who were looking for the humorous side of the scene had stationed themselves far enough back to take the crowd , and thejr pictures will undoubtedly be the most de sirable of all. Each of the camera fiends was anxious to ascertain the result of the trial , and there was a great rush to have the plates devel oped. Some were disappointments , but many were extremely fine. The camera had ar- rcated the flying train and transfixed it upon the plates as If It was motionless. The rpokes In the driving wheels of the engine were cut sharp and clear on the negatives and appeared as If the wheels were motionless , while the lettering and numbers on the en gine and cars were without a blur. Instead of the hissing steam that was coming through the exhaust pipes and poundlns through tbo smokestack In harsh puffs sc rapidly that the eye could not detect them , the plates showed a lazy wreath of this smoke and steam suspended above the pipe , In many of the plates there was not a quaver to show that the train was not as stationary as the earth and the fences. Al together the result was very satisfactory U a majority of the camera people and will prove equally so to General Agent Davenpori and the railway men who are ( interested Ii the test. It Is the first time that a rallwaj train running at such a high rate of spee-i has ever been photographed In this part o the country. _ WILL iil'ISXD TWO WEEKS I.\ CAMP Second Annual School for Iiixlructloi iu Siiinll Arum Practice.

( Special Tele gram ) The Cherry sisters , who have been exhibiting themselves at Crocker's Vt'oods park during the last week , were not able to end their engagement without a serious fam- llr quarrel. The sisters have been having a stormy time In Des Molnes. They declare that their treatment In the capital city of their native state has been in many ways disgraceful. They have been playing to rough out-of-door audiences. This waa the last day of their engagement here , and to satisfy the management of. the park , the sis ters performed together. The rupture oc curred Friday night and Saturday morning. The manager of the sisters claims that It has been patched up for the present , at least , but this Is denied by others. The trouble waa made by Lizzie , the oldest , who has been objecting very hard because she doesn't get her share of the proceeds. Jn short , she alleges that they are trying to freeze her out entirely Next year , she threatens , she will go on the road as an attraction all by herself. Then she will be the whole thing. The pith of the difficulty Is this : Lizzie has a pretty good financial interest In the. concern. She was most hopeful of the proposition to fool the money out of the pockets ot the great Amer ican people when they began their campaign. For a tlmo she was the chief guard of the coffers where the gold and silver was heaped up. Now the others have the keys. She has been flred. For a long time , says Lizzie , the others have been assuming financial control. She Is the one who does the affecting "wooed maiden" act In the original and only gypsy scene. She was more coy. If possible , than ever , today. Her complaint la that the manager has been hypnotized by her three sisters. He asks them for all the advice about the business. He pays her no atten tion and no money , except aa they order him to pay it. She declares they told her they could give their show without her Just as well as not , if she wanted to get mad , so she did get mad. The three who now have the better of the scrap refuse to say anything abaut It. They arc satisfied with matters as they are and Insist there is "nothing to publish. " ' * a i South Omaha News . The promoters of the beet sugar factory have plowed about 130 acres of land In the northwestern part of the city and sowed It to flax , to prepare the land for next year's crop ot beets.

Sweeney was appointed city poundmaster only a week ago today and yet in that time he has stirred up more trouble than all the former poundmaatera put to gether. Before Sweeney * had held hla offi cial position twelve hours a complaint had been filed against him at police headquarters , and thlB has been kept up every day since that time. Yesterday Sweenen or some of his assistants , rounded up nineteen cows , which were being herded In Spring Lake park , and took them to the pound. The owner proceeded to a Justice shop and re- plevined the animals but the case has not yet been heard. To the credit of the poundmaster It must be said that in few Instances has he been charged with violating any laws or or dinances. He has used poor Judgment in any number of coees anil heuce the com plaints. Only a morning or two ago a bo ; WEQ leading a cow to pasture when Sweeney swooped down upon the lad and-led the cow off to the pound. Up in the vicinity of Twenty-sixth and 1 streets there came near being a fight the other day when Sweeney tried to take twc cows away from an old man who was lead ing them home. The old man refused to let go the rope and there wart a scuffle In which Sweeney came out ahead. Most of the complainants charge that the j new poundmaster is brutal and usea abusive and offensive language towomen and chil dren. To Celebrate the Fourth.
