A Joint freight depot wl bo erected there by the Illinois Central , th Milwaukee nnd the Rock Island road : This Is n fieml-olllclal statement. The build ing will bo ni large as the Union 1'acin freight depot , and will ho more modern 1 Its conveniences for handling all kinds ( freight. It Is also possible that n bl warehouse iwlll bo erected there for the oc commodatlon ol the patrons of these road1 Definite information OR to the slzo on character of the buildings Is not know here , nor will It tie given out until th Illinois Central has Its line Into the ctt completed. Such Information as Is give hero ban been hold back pending the pur chose of the desired ground for the build Ings by the Central , 'but ' ns this has abou been secured , so much of the company' plans nro made public. The Illinois Central has from time to tire been buying property in that vicinity unt U nvvf owns the greater portion of the tra ( hounded by Jlason nnd Pierre streets , an Seventeenth nnd nightccnth streets , t nearly two blocks. The block nnd a frae tlon 'between ' Seventeenth nnd Sixteen ! Htrootfl , nnd from the Union Pacific track to Mason street , are already owned by th Hock Island and the Milwaukee , maklni with the two tracts , ample ground for th purpose desired , and leaving good ynrdag room for the present demands of the Intel cstcd roads. The ground Is well located fo ouch buildings , as it is easy of access , an Is not too far removed from the wholcsal district of the city. The Illinois Central has been engaged fc over n year In purchasing the property I holds In that vicinity , and throughout n ! the negotiations the utmost secrecy has bee observed ns to whom the purchaser was t lie. Is'ot until the contracts of sale wcr complete and a partial payment was mad did thu parties selling learn the Identity c the purchaser , and not then until It cam tlmo to make out the deeds. In eome case the deeds of transfer -were not recorded untl 1,01110 tlmo after they were slcucd and do llvcrod. The Rock Island aud Milwaukee roads no1 have their freight business handled at th Union Pacific depot. With the other road which nlso use that depot It Is alleged tha the facilities are Inadequate to the need ! It Is further asserted that the MIIwalike nnd Rock Island have a cause for com plaint , In that partiality Is shown at th expense of these two roads where shipper do not specifically specify over which roa their consignment shall bo carried. At now depot , where both these roads ar equally interested with the Illinois Central these conditions will bo eliminated. It 1 nlso held that with'tho other roads mak Ing for this city , It Is only a question o rwhlch shall erect n new freight depot , nn' ' 9 > y this triple combination taking the lea Itwill bo In shape to make a bid for th now companies' business. AHSOUIIS 0.\C MOIin UIIANCII MM : Union I'nclllc Taken 1'oHHcKnlon n Part ol Co lorn < lc Southern. President Durt of the Union Pacific hai issued an official notlco that the Overlam lias bccomo the owner of what Is known ai the Julesburg branch , and which horctofon lias been a part of the Colorado Southern , 01 Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf road. Th ( transfer of the property will take place al midnight on Saturday , and all persons em ployed on that branch for the present are te continue ) to act for the now company. The Union Pacific will operate the branch on Its own account , but will respect the terms ami contracts made by the old owners. The purchase of this branch , taken wltli the trackage agreement Just made with the Colorado Southern , whereby the later road U nccordcd the use of the Union Pacific tracks between Denver nnd Cheyenne , Is taken tc dndlcaito but a step forward In regaining con trol of the entire Southern system. It wat orlgtaally a part of the Union Pacific line , but was segregated under the receivership icglme , nnd placed under a separate manage ment , as was done with the Oregon Short Line. The later road Is now in process ol being absorbed by the Union Pacific , and it is reported that when this deal Is out of the way , negotiations for the accession of the Southern will bo commenced. The two transActions - Actions announced this week give the im pression that uch negotiations will not belong long drawn out , nor difficult of a successful Issue. The line Is n valuable feeder for the Union Pacific , but under Its present man agement Is no more favorable to that road than to other Colorado lines. When tha Union Pacific secures It , this road will have a big advantage In the Colorado and south ern AVjomlug business. Kltlirr a Viaduct or u Sulmn ) .

Omaha business men nro doing consldcri bio talking on the question of whether th city cannot secure a larger share of tl business of the quartermaster's depnrtmei of thu United States army. Under prceei conditions ample quarters that could coi \enlently bo applied for the storing of sui piles nro largely unoccupied , whllo purchnsi for the Department of the Missouri are belr made nt eastern points nnd shipped Into th territory.

This department has probab made purchases to the amount of near $200,000 hero since the beginning of the w < with Spain. Hut the qunitcrmaster's depar ment docs comparatively little local bus ness. Its entlro purchases In Omaha do m exceed J30.000 n jear. Local business men assert that this Is a unnatural condition nnd that Omaha d < serves a far greater patronage from this di partment.

Immediately after the close of the civ war Senator Martin of Indiana succeeded I getting a large distributing depot located : JcffcrsonUllo , which was then a centn point and excellently adapted for the pin pose. A number of Immense buildings wci erected and the depot became ono of tl most Important industries of the city. So\ oral hundred men nio employed there nt th tlmo making tenta nnd low grade clothlmi When requisitions for quartermaster's sui piles are received at the headquarters t Omaha for tlio various department post they nio forwarded to the quartermaste general nnd It Is only Infrequently that the are returned with Instructions to purclms goods In Omaha.

Omaha Is now tli natural distrlbutlnc-point for this deparl mcnt. It occupies n central point on tli great transcontinental lines nnd it has rail road connections with every Important poir In the United States.

It is declare that the picsent structures would nnswt nil purposes connected with the storage an distribution of supplies with very little ael dltional expenditure. This would save long haul on supplies nnd would add a ma tcrial source of revenue to Omaha merchant !

To the Editor : Worrying life Insurance In a legislative way is no new thing in other states , hu Nebraska has hitherto been mcasurabl ; free from essays In 'that direction. Thl session , however , threatens to bo an ex ceptlon nnd measures calculated to troubli the companies and their pollcyholdcrs hav already been presented. It may safely be saltl that in all attack ; upon llfo insurance the pollcyholders alont : ire the ultimate sufferers. This has beei 30 thoroughly proved in other states tha It Is now only necessary for any mcasun Injurious to llfo Insurance to be projectei In a legislature for a swift and concertcc protest to arise from the polloyholdcr : which leads to its Inevitable defeat. Th' ' latter have learned that tlioy alone suffer li reduced dividends , from taxation , or an' ither form of oppression , and are cense juently prompt lt > resent every endeavor ti uulci the companies. The sister states of Kansas has probabl ; : > ecn the most sorely tried , not only by nt : empted injurious legislation , but also b' m exceptionally bad olllclal at the head o tor Insurance affairs , and the harm that hni jeen done the sLate Is notorious. Capita ias been driven out , oa weJl as kept fron mterlng , and the Injury to the good name o : he state thereby Incurred will scarcely bi epaired during the present generation.

School DIMrlet Can Su\e Money 1) In < iiiliiK Wiii-rnnt * InMeail of llnniln. Upon Investigation nnd examination It I found that the scheme to bond the floatln Indebtedness of the school district , ns ha boon urged by Major Moores , City Attorne Connell nnd other city ofllclals , would no provo to be as good a financial move as ha been generally considered. As a matter c fact , according to the computations of Score tary Glllan of the Hoard of Education , th result would be that the school district woul pay more In Interest on the bonds than U o present pnjs on outstanding warrants. In round numbers the Indebtedness ropro Ecntcxl by outstanding warrants amounts t $160o"bo. Practically none of this Indebted ness exists , however , from January t April , owing to the fact that money receive from saloon licenses Is used In taking up th warrants. lu April , warrants commence t accumulate again , but not In largo quantltlc until November , because the tax lev.v Is be Ing paid during the Intervening months. In November the nggregato of outstnnd Ingwiirants commences to grow largo because cause there arc few receipts nnd the tola amount reaches the maximum by the end o December. That this fluctuation exists i proven by the experience of last year. T all intents nnd purposes the floating In dobtednoES of the school district on Jniiuar ; 1 , 1890 , was exactly the same ns on Januar ; 1 , 1S9S , $160,000 , but the Interest cnnrg during the year was but $4,000 , although th outstanding warrants draw 7 per cent in terest. If bonds -were Issued to take up this lu dobtcdness , the lowest rate of Interest a which they could be floated would bo per cent. Interest -would have to bo pal' ' nil the jear around , eo that the Intores charge on ? 1GO,000 bonds would amount ti 56,400. If hut $1(50,000 ( bonds wcro Issuoi the interest would amount to ? 4,000 and th. . school district -\\ould have to pay intorea on $60,000 of outstanding warrants for j part of the year at least. "You sue , therefore , that the city wouli bo loser on this bond scheme , " remark ! Secretary Glllan. "As long ns the city coun ell will not pay this indebtedness , it will bi far more economical to nllow It to be reprc sented In outstanding warrants. This wll bo especially so If the legislature reducei Interest on such warrants from 7 to 6 pci cent , as is very likely. I ibcllevc that I per cent warrants iwlll sell as readily ai those which now draw 7 per cent.
