NORTHWESTERN FLYER GOES ON SUNDAY

t Shorten Time.
The fast train nltuatlon remains about
tut It han been slnco the announcement of the
JlurllnRton's Intentions. This latter road
has as yea rnado no official declaration of the
character of the service It will put on , ex
cept that It will meet any time and service
established by other roada operating In the
eamo territory , nnd that this will be done
within n nhort time.
It Is suggested that the Burlington's No.
fi , which Is the present counterpart of the
Northwestern Overland Flyer , will have Its
llmo shortened to equal that of the latter
road , and that the present No. 1 will have
its time also shortened to about the schedule
adopted when the train was flrat put on , but
which was afterward lengthened out , owing
( o protests by the nock Island and Santa Fo
systems. This train will be made
the Denver special and will shorten
the time between Omaha and Denver at
least ono hour , with a correflpondlng de
crease In the time between Chicago and
Omaha.
It Is settled , however , that there will be
r.o changes on any of the other roads next
Sunday , o.ich of them being content for a
week or HO to wait and watch tbo result of
ilho Northwestern's ni-w time , nnd the
nmount of trafllc the train will handle on its
new ( schedule. In this latter respect the
1 train will bo watched closely by rep
resentatives of the other road , and if tbo
aiumber of passengers ho large or small , the
< facts will be known without depending upon
ritateincnts Issued from the Northwestern
offices. The first train tinder the new
fchoduln will arrive In Omaha next Monday
morning nt 7OC : , and there will be a good
jdeal of Intercut shown In It for a few
dayfl , or until It proves that It Is able to
wake the time established for It.
According to reports from Chicago the In
novation In this fast passenger service Is apt
to have a wide-spreading effect. It Is said
there that St. Paul and Kansas City are
to have the benefit of a fast train service
ns the outgrowth of the cut In tlmo to
Omaha.
The nurllngton'R line to St. Paul has
never been able to make any heavy Inroads
Into the btmlness of the Milwaukee and
( Northwestern lines to 'the Twin cities , and
the time may be shortened In that direction
us a retaliation for the cut to Omaha.
lARaln , tlic Santa ! > Is to be considered.
Having no line to this city , and being par
ticularly partial to Kansas City , where It
has connection , It Is almost certain to pro
tect Its own line In that direction by short
ening Its time to meet the advantage
Omaha will have with the new service here.
All of these cuts will have to bo mot by
the other roads operating In that territory
and It wJll then only be a question of how
long the roads can stand the maintenance of
each service and how well the public will
support It.
NOT RIVEN SKIUOtlS CONSIDERATION
Lorn I ItnllrnndH N < it Inclined to Bc-
Ili-vo St. Io n I M Will Hull. ! In Omaha.
Omaha railroad men are not much con
cerned over the announcement from St. Paul
that the Minneapolis & St. Louis road Is tel
l > iilld a direct line from the Twin Cities to
Omaha. .Although the statement of this
road's Intentions is given a semblance of
official authorization by being credited to L.
K. Iay , the general manager of the system ,
It IB deemed ao Incredible by railroad men in
i Omaha they are not oven willing to dis
cuss the project.
Ono official , who Is as well Informed as any
One on the prospects for railroad building ,
eald : "The Illinois Central has been trying
to buy the Minneapolis & St. Louis , and II
It succeeds In getting control of the road thai
might account for the statement that 2
direct line was to be built Into Omaha.
With the line which the Central
iwlll probably bring into this cltj
during the coming year , it Is possible
connection could be rnado with the Minne-
npolls & St Louis close enough to bo con.
etdercd a direct line , such as Is mentioned
In the St. Paul dispatch. " This official was
disposed to believe that if the announcemenl
ish from thn north should prove to be correcl
It would mean that the Illinois Central
negotiations liad been successful. Other
wise ho felt the story was simply fiction.
Other railroaders who professed to know
nothing ot the Illinois Central deal sail !
thcro was no tenable reason why tbe line
should be built , and that the Minneapolis &
6t. Louis bad no money to Invest In expert'
ments.
John R. Webster of the Terminal company
who would probably know as much abou
the coming of any new line as any one , salt
ho had heard nothing of It except what hi
eaw In the papers , and was disposed t <
doubt the authenticity of the report. T (
roak'e euro , however , he had written to Mr
Day to have him verify the story.

Speaking of the recent order of the Short

aid the matter Is In statu quo , owing to the
fact that all the manufactories arc over

and It Is believed there that tbo extension

the project Is a fruitful field for prognosti

NEW YOKK , Jrfn. 27. It was stated last
night that the details of the plan for the
exchange of Union Pacific common stock for
Oregon Short Line stock would bo made
public In an advertisement. The directors
of the Union Pacific have settled the terms
and the official announcement Is expected
today. It Is generally believed that the
arrangement arrived at will be ehare for
share on the $27,466,000 of Oregon Short Line
stock , with a "string" to the deal In the
shape of a small assessment on the Short
Line holders. This deal should net the Union
Pacific about $1,000,000.

People and merchants nho live In the
iclghborhood of this city seem to luivo
become fearful of visiting Omaha because of
some possibility of contracting smallpox ,
according to the statements of local bust *
ness men. It such fear exists It Is abso-
utcly ungrounded a fact that Is Indicated
> y the smallpox record of the lost three
months : The record for this length of
Imc has been as follows : A total of
wcnty-eeven cases , no deaths , an absolutely
icrfect quarantine that lins effectually con-
Ined the disease to the house in which It
was discovered In every case btit one. That
exception occurred at the very first outbreak
of the disease In this city before It was
llagnosed as smallpox , and when Us charac-
er was made known It spread no further
n the particular locality as a consequence-
of prompt quarantine.
'That ' Is a record that thu city
and the health departments may
'eel proud of , " declares City Phy
sician Spaldlng. "Every case reported is
an Isolated ono and the disease has cot
> ccn allowed to spread. This satisfactory
condition of affairs has been the result of
.wo agencies. In the first place I must glvo
credit to the local newspapers for their very
efficient aid and support of the health de
partment. Their publicity of the situation
aroused the people to the danger threaton-
ng and as a consequence the danger was
averted by vaccination nnd In other ways.
"Secondly , I do not llko to throw any
violets at my department , but I think that
the promptitude with which It took hold of
ho situation nnd the. strict quarantine * of
: ascs that was maintained materially
esscncd any danger. This promptness and
this publicity may have created the Impres
sion abroad that there la a dangerous cpl-
ilemlc In Omaha , but this damage , In my
opinion , Is fully counterbalanced by the fact
that the same promptness and the same pub
licity averted the threatened epidemic. "
( innrnnfliie All of the Cnne * .
As has been stated , there has been a total
of twenty-seven cases. The first case waa
found In a family In the far northern part
of the city and wa brought to Omaha from
Nebraska City. Before the nature of the
dlscaso was learned It had spread to three
families. All three of the families were
quarantined , and although nil of the mem
bers were down with the disease , It spread
no further. There were twelve victims In
these families , they all recovered and the
quarantine upon them was raised several
weeks ago.
A few days later a new outbreak occurred.
The new case was also Imported. The
victim was employed in a large establish
ment of the city and the disease was com
municated by him to three other people liv
ing in different parts of the city.
Two of these three people com
municated the disease to two
others , living again In different
parts of Omaha. Thus six new localities
were Infected , but in each and every case
the dlseaso has been confined to the house
In wtilcu It was found , no local epidemic
resulting. In these six families there
wore a total of fifteen sick and only one of
these has been seriously 111. Two of these
six families have been removed to an emer
gency hosppllal in an isolated part of the
city and the quarantine on one of the re
maining four will fee raised In a few days.
To be ready la case any more cases be
discovered that require isolation the city is
preparing to erect a smallpox hospital In
Fontanelle park , in the far northwestern
part of the city , removed several blocks
from any habitation. Building Inspector
Butler is drawing plans for a ten-room
building. They will be completed soon and
work on the building will be commenced on
Sunday and will be rushed to completion.
No now cases of the dUeaso have been
reported for several days , and the reports
from the sick are satisfactory. Superin
tendent I'earse has Issued an order requir
ing vaccination of all High school pupils
who reside In the Central and Leavenworth

CHURCH TROUBLES IN COURT
JndKe Oordon n * Referee In an Organ
PJaylnir Content Dccldei it
U a Tie.
The troubles of a mission chapel on Thir
teenth and Ohio streets were aired before
Judge Gordon when John Mitchell and Mrs.
Charles Cramer were called upon to answer
to the charge of disturbing a religious meet
ing. Clarence Morris was the complainant
and In the trial "Doc" Schwcnk was the
demonstrator of theological methods of in
struction.
According to the story told on the stand
by Mr. Morris he was conducting a meeting
In this chapel on the evening of January 15.
Mrs. Cramer , who is superintendent of the
Sunday school , objected to playing on the
organ on the ground that it was purchased
lor tbe exclusive use of the school. Mr.
Morris was leading the meeting , which had
reached the testimonial part. Mrs. Cramer
asked if she could speak and Mr. Morris
granted her permission , "if she would
speak gently. " Mrs. Cramer started to glvo
him a piece of her mind regarding the use
of the organ and proceeded to close It. Mr.
Mitchell came to her assistance and de
manded that Morris "come down out of the
pulpit" and let the congregation choose by
vote who should lead it In the path of
righteousness. Mr. Morris declined and says
he dismissed the meeting to save trouble.
In tbe cross-examination , Mr. Morrla
stated that ho was not an ordained minister ,
was not a member of any congregation or
denomination and had not been hired to
conduct the services at the chapel. Ho had
been leading them for the last six weeks
simply from the desire for tbe uplifting of
humanity. He waa paid nothing for It ,
making his living by outside work.
Judge Gordon refused to listen to any
further' evidence , saying that a police court
was no place for church quarrels and If
they must have factional fights tbe best
thing they can do Is to keep them In their
own section. He discharged tbo defendants.
The case wherein Mitchell la charged with
assault and battery by Morris was con
tinued until February 3 , as the complain
ant said he had a couple ot witnesses who
were sick and unable to be present before
them.

The secretary has sent to press a small
pamphlet which will contain an account of
all the proceedings that have occurred In
connection with the bonds. One of these
pamphlets will be sent to all the bond-
buyera In the country. Advertisements of
the bonds are being Inserted In some of the
leading financial papers of the country. In
a few days , therefore , all preliminaries to
the receiving of bids will be completed and
the board will have nothing to do but wait

gan to disappear early yesterday morning
and by noon men who had been frequenting
them during their use purchased their

at Sixteenth and Castcllar streets Friday
morning at 0:30 : with his head cut and
uadly bruised and his knees scraped and
slackened. Ho waa picked up and carried
into a drug store , where his injuries were
attended prior to his removal home.
It Is supposed that Mr. Glass was Injured
In trying to get off a car , although the
conductor docs not remember having seen
dim at all. Ho thinks it more likely that
the man was dragged along ttio street and
Injured In trying to get aboard the trailer ,
In which event neither the motorman nor
lie might have seen him. The Injured man's
condition Is not critical , but he will suffer
from his bruises for some time :
