Llkuly to Hi * Itciivlieil
.Soon ,
The new regime nt the head of the reor
ganized Union 1'aclflc Uallroad company Is
considering ways and moans of providing
adequate terminal facilities In thin city be
fore the opening of the Transmlisfllsslppl and
International Exposition. Information to thl
effect oomoj ! from most reliable sources , am
though President Hurt has refused to con
flrm or deny the reports , they are now com
Jnonly accepted In local railway circles a
trustworthy.
If the plans now under consideration are
carried out to completion a passenger otatlon
of convenient alzo with waiting rooniH , bag
gage rooms , express offices , dining room am
other accommodations will be built on a trac
of ground east of Tenth direct and botweci
Jforoy and Lcavenworth streets In time to
liandlo the passengers arriving via the Union
Pacific during the coming exposition.
The proposed structure will not bo built o
Btono mid brick , or In any way designed fo
a permanent affair. With the unsettled con
< llllon of the terminal question here. It 1
argued , the Union I'acldc docs not nt prcsen
care to start In on the erection of 11 larg (
ntatlnn that could not possibly lie complete !
la tlniu for the exposition , but prefers to n
once begin the erection of n passenger sta
tlon Hint may bo finished by Iho time the
exposition gates are thrown open to the pub
lie. Such a station , suitable to accommodate
the Incoming travel , could be erected wlthli
ninety days , and If started on March 1 could
bo toady for occupancy by Juno 1.
JiVI J'JIll'sar Ul' llli-j nu < vi.i.- > .
Ucprescntatlvcs of the linlon Pacific have
recently been looking over the ground Jus
cast of Tenth street and the north side of the
main tracks ol the company , nnd prop
erty lio'dcrs In that section of the city fee
quite confident that the company Is con
cldcrlng the feasibility of building there a
oncf. Chief Engineer Ilerry of the company
has been over the ground , and has also takei
nil the measurements and dimensions of the
lliurliiiiUou's new station , \\hleh Is now It
process of construction. These Invcetlga
tlons are the foundation for the report that
Iho Union Pacific wants a station of Its
own for use during the exposition ycai
Should the Union Pacific dccldo to build a
station on the tiorth sldo of the present
tfnclis It Is practically certain that the
Northwestern would go with the Unloi
Pacific. The Hock Island and the Milwaukee
.railroads also have contracts with the Union
1'aclflc , by which they are dependent on the
Union Pacific for terminal facilities , but
whether they would go with the Union
Pacific In etich a depot Is a mooted ques
tion. It Is n well known , fact that the llur-
llngton olllclals have earnestly ondeavorec
to get the olllclals of the Itock Island am
the Milwaukee sulllclently Interested in the
Hurllngton'H new passenger station here to
bring these two lines Into the new struc
ture. Hut , so far as Is known , nothing In that
direction has yet been accomplished.
SIIBDS WILL DISAPPEAR.
Briefly , the status of the caeo la this : The
Burlington's new station is rapidly nearlnt
completion. Nearly all the walls arc up ai
lilgh us they will too built and much of the
Interior work Is done. It now looks as
though the structure- would complete by
April IB , as called for by the contract with
the builder. When this station la complete !
the present sheds to the east of the new
( building will be torn away. There will thei
ibo but one passenger station and that , us
well as the ground It occupies , owned by one
railroad. None of the other Hum have as
yet inado arrangements to enter this station.
From thcHo who are most familiar with the
policy of President Hurt It la learned that
the Union Pacific will never agree to enter
the Hurllngton depot , but will 'build ' a tem
porary passenger station for the Union Pa
cific nnd the lines dependent upon It for
.terminal facilities In Ontana , to be occupied
until such time as the lines arc able to unlto
on some plan for the erection of a gram !
union depot at Ninth and Farnam streets
or elsewhere.
Speaking to The Hoe of the matter < i promt-
lient railroader recently said : "To my mint
thereIs no doubt but that President Hurt
nvlll dccldo to build a depot separate from
that of the Hurlliigtcci. There uro but two
liorna to the dilemma : one is to enter the
Uurllngton dcppt and the other Is to bul'.d a
separate depot. I think you may expect to
hear something announced on the matter
within ( do next thirty days , or possibly
sooner. "

It has been a long time sluco BO many
Important conferences of loading railroad
ofllclnls have bocn held at one time as are
Edict. ] led tor this week In Chicago. Ono
of these Is the meeting of presidents of
western llneu to consider the best solu
tion of : the fast train proposition. Presi
dent Hurt of the Union Pacific will attend
this meeting , and It Is said will oppose any
attempt to have the new fast trains taken
out of service or to allow differential rates
to the Hock Island and the Santa Fo.
Another ono of the meetings Is a confer

against the maximum rate laws of that

Many pi-jple v.ho lia\e no claim on the
city of South Omaha arc dally applicants At
the mayor's office for aid. Yesterday a man
applied to the chief executive for medicine
In order that he might procure relief from
his ailment at the expense of the taxpay
er * ! . The mayor qucwtlcned the applicant
and ascertained that he hnd been a resident
. of Omaha for over elx month * and had only
arrived la this city an hour before making
! hla apllcatlon. He told the major that the
authorities In Omaha had refuted to help
him and that as he had heard that Mayor
Unsor was a good fellow , he came down
here to see what ho could get. Although
Admitting that the man was In need of medi
cine , the mayor , under the circumstance * ? ,
declined to extend the a&a'stance requested.
It frequently happens that person * report
cnf.es of destitution when they know nothing
about the needs or circumstances of a fam

needed nralslanco from the city. laspcclor
Carroll was scot down and while ho found
things as reported In a measure. It wiw also
learned Unit the father nnd son were em
ployed In one of the packing housca , the
father earning $12 a week and the son $8
In the fame period of time. Plenty of food
was found In the house , but all the children
were In need of clothing. When questioned
this family Indignantly denied that they
were iu need of either food or fuel at the
hands of the city. Many such reports are
Investigated every day and when It Is
found that there Is no actual want or suiter-
Ing , supplies are not furnished.
Mlllc DiMilurN JlnUi- How.
Certain members of the Milk Dealers'
union nro imiklng complaints to the elicit
that Inspector Carroll is Incompetent , and
assort that ho ehould bo removed. The
trouble , It appears , all comes from the fact
that the newspapers learned of the plain
of the union in regard to the attempt to
bo made to force Ilartnitn and other non
union dwilcfs to Join the Milk trust. Up to
the present time this union has bccti al
lowed to hold Its meetings at the milk In
specter s oinso in mo cuy nan , uui mu
chances are that other quarters will have to
lie engaged now. Owing to the publicity
glvi.n to the proceedings of the last meet
ing of the association the plan to put on a
wagon to give milk away was not carried
out , and It has now , It Is understood , been
abandoned. President Naglo of the Milk
Dealers' union was a candidate , some time
ago , for the position of city milk Inspec
tor , and falling to secure the appointment
has inado frequent complaints about Car-
foil's Incin.Moncy. In speaking about the
matter last evening , Mayor Knsor said that
lie would ixiy no attention to complaints
coming from Nnglo unle&3 something more
serious than cow reported was brought
against ttio present Inspector.

his hands on him whenever ho wants to. I

take no stock whatever In the report that

"Although Japan boasts that It Is a hlghl
clvlll/ed nation , " said James n. Fcnron o
New Vork at the Mlltarj hotel last even
Ing , "and prides Itself upon the Rigam !
strides the country has nnJp during th
last thirty yearn toward material and Intel
lectual advancement. It Is fact that It
syslom governing the finplovmmt of fn
male ? Is a failure. During nluo month
that I spent In that country T gtul ! d thl
question thoroughly , with the result th.i
I have positive opinions regarding lu abso
lute fillurc.
"Nothing has been done to bolter th
condition of Japan's female workers otu
their condition today is Just as wrotehei
as It was before Perry negotiated tlu < fa
motl.1 treaty which threw Its harbors opet
to the trade of the United States atid stnrtei

forms , pinched checks , sunken eyes am
early death. It causes misery , squalor , pov
erty ami hunger. Consider for A momcn
the condition of female workers engaged It
the cotton spinning Industry , of which
am more famllbr. The total number of op
cratlvrs employed In this Industry Is C 1.330
of which 42.COO are females of from 'J to
10 years of age , those of from 1 ? to 27 yearn
being In the majority. Nearly all of this
labor Is brought from the Interior of the
country under contract for n term of fron
three to five years and lodged In houses
owned by mill companies at the corpora
tion's expense. The average wages of the
whole country Is 9.9 sen per day and oil
of this trilling pay C sen per day mus
bo ivald for the price ot meals and the re
maining for Incidental expenses , for whlcl
the most thrifty girls spend 3 sen per day
as well as for clothing. All operatives ari.
compelled to work twelve hours a day , wltli
no extra ] wy for overtime. The females
under contract are not allowed , under any
condition , to letivo the employ of the com
pany they hire out to until their contracted
tlmo expires. If any operative violates this
clause her unpaid wage" , as well as mono }
deposited by her with the company , Is eon.
flsoated , atid If she be found working It
another mill she will bo brought back to
her- former employer , with force , if need be
and every operative Is required to deposit
monthly with thu mill company a sum oqua' '
to ono day's \uigrs. This deposit Is llabli
to confiscation on event of uny Infringe
ment , however slight , of the contract , as
well as regulations enforced ,
"IC.vcerslvely long houra , unhealthy at
mosphere , low wages , scanty food and ob
noxious regulations these .ire the condi
tions under which the female workers of
Japan , us represented by the modern fac
tory girls , are suffering. "
"Tho statement may astonish live stock
growots , but nevertheless Mexico Is almost
without cattle , " said J. M. Ucrnard of Waco.
Tex. , last night. "This Is due to the tremendous
deus demand for Mexican beef that began
almost exactly two years ago and has re
sulted in cutting down to very small num
bers thu seemingly Inexhaustible herds of
northern Mexico. The states of Chihuahua
nnd Sonora alone have been shipping to
Cuba from 5,000 to 6,000 head ot cattle a
month. That 13 why the Cuban rebellion
has lined the pockets of the Mexican stock
men with gold. H Is singular. Indeed , when
one stops to consider , that Mexico , which so
cruelly felt the Iron hand ot Spain centuries
ago , ehould In these modern days furnish
food In vast quantities for the enemies of the
descendants of Cortcz.
"Tho movement of live stock from Mexico
to the United States during the last twelve
months his also become unusual , the demand
going on unabated. It is apparent , therefore ,
that the Mexican cattlemen have realized
handsomely from their ranches ; In fact a
majority of them have practically exhausted
their herds. The greater portion of live
stock bound from Mexico to the United
States passes through El Paso , Tex. , and
Nogales , Ariz. , to the western markets
where the packing houses are located , Kan
sas City taking a greater number than any
other place , although some of It roaches
South Omaha. Even in California there In
a demand for this cattle , because ranchmen
there hastened to dispose of their herds to
the eastern markets , thereby diminishing
the supply for homo consumption.
"During the last quarter of 1897 , the total
value of cattle that came Into the United
States was $222,522 , and this , too , regard
less of the fact that the duty upon cattle
Imported from Mexico is about $3 per head.
All this tock Is of low grade , and the beef
It makes Is far from being equal to the
American product. The result Is that Mex
ican beef is 'bringing ' unheard-ot prices. "
"Tho flow of oil from KIrkbrldgo well No.

Ohio , began in November , 1894 , " paid G. D.
Laucr of Cincinnati , last evening , "and the
spectacle was ono of the most magnificent
over witnessed In that part of the country.
First appeared a column of water rlalug
about tea feet Into the air. This was fol
lowed by a black sjfeam of mud and sand ,
which gradually changed to yellow. Then , with
a deafening roar , the gas burnt forth In an
Immense column , hiding the derrick from
view. As thirl cleared away a solid golden
coluirn a foot lei diameter shot from the der
rick floor 100 feet Into the air , there break
ing and falling In a shower ot yellow rain
for a quarter of a mile around. Kor live
hours thla great column shot upward. In n
very few minutes the field about the well
was covered Inches deep with petroleum.
Within four houra the ditches for miles
around were overflowing with oil. Dams
were constructed In order that the product
might be estimated , but these were over
flowed rurt swept away as rapidly as con
structed. Some persona living In the vicin
ity , alarmed at the spectacle , packed their
household goods and fled. A pumping sta
tion a mile distant was compelled to ex
tinguish Its fires on account of the gas , nnd
all other fires within the district were put
out. It was a literal flooj of oil , the esti
mated production for the final twouty-four
hours betag 14S60.000 gallons. "

TURNING ON THE LIGHT.
Is It Not Possible That You Are Groping
In Darkness When Yon Might
See Clearly.
Almost everybody has had an experience
like this. Ho has gone Into a familiar room
In the dirk to look for a p.irtleul.'ir c-hject.
Ho knows or thinks ho knows Just where
to find It. Ho gropes and fumbles vainly ,
losing time ami temper and possibly bruis
ing his knuckles. Finally he- gives up his
blind search and turns on the light. There
in plain view Is what he was looking for.
Ills fingers must almost have touched It a
dozen times. How could ho have missed it ?
In moro ways than one , tno world has suf
fered for want of light. The body of man 1ms'
been a darkened house In which science has
grouped for the cause of shortened lives.
She has stumbled upon some truths nnd some
half-truths. She has questioned dead mi'ii ,
but they have told no talcs.
Bven today there Is more or less error In
medlcini * . That Is to say. certain drugs are
known to produce certain results. Hut no
one can toll the reason. From time im-
memor.il physicians have carefully excluded
the air from wounds. They did not know
why exposure to the air should l > o bad for
lacerated tissues , but the discovery that the
air contains uncountable and unthinkable
numbers of germs furnished a substantial
reason for plasters and bandages.

The greatest danger of a cold or an attack
of la grippe Is of Its resulting In pneumonia.
How to prevent this will certainly Interest
almost everyone , nnd especially those who
lave weak lungs. No one need fear that
.holr cold will result in pneumolna v-hei :
Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy Is used. It
counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia
and will cure a cold In less time than any
other treatment. During the epldcmfes of
a grippe a few years ago , many thousands of
Jottlos of It were used , and In not one single
nstauco did any case result in pneumonia
so far as wo could learn.

There Is much speculation yet In the treat
ment ot disease , but some things are soHlcd
beyond question , and one of them Is that
kidney diseases can ho cured. This letter
from Mrs. Holla aioffa , of McKwcnsvlllo , Pa. ,
tells ! .ow :
"Some six years ago I was troubled
severely with disease of the kidneys and I
will never bo able to ( ell how much I suf
fered. 1 tried all kinds of remedies , but
could find no permanent relief. Finally I al
lowed myself to bo persuaded by Mrs. Simon
Cameron to try Warner's Safe fuio with th
assurance that It would relieve me. She bad
suffered In the same way for many years ,
nnd had found great help by using Wnrnt-r'H
Safe Cure , I am happy to say that Snfo
Cure tienollte-l mo from the tlmn I lu-naa
using It , and after I had taken five or nix
bottles I wns entirely frci- from all my pains ,
and have been In perfect health ever since.
I cannot siy : too much for Warner's Svafo
Cure , as 1 believe It gave mo the perfect
health 1 now enjoy , "
