Whllo ether roads may bo scheming to
force the Union Pacific to change Itn policy
governing the distribution of its tiallle , that
company seems to be going on planning Im
portant Impnncmcnts In its line , not only
in the far west and In Nebraska , but here
In Douglas county. One of these , which
will Involve a large outlay of money , will
bo the straightening of the tracks between
this city nnd South Omaha. Thn truck at
present Is ono series of sharp curves , neces
sitating a reduction of speed nnd the surl-
ons racking of rolling stock. To amend this
Is ono of the schemes the operating depart
ment of the toad now has under considera
tion.
Mention has already been made of the
changes which will bt < wrought when the
now depot Is completed. These Involve the
lllllng In of u largo tract of ground at the
vttMt end of the bridge for use us roadbed
and extending as far wept HH the now depot.
This will permit "t an easy curve from the
bridge to the now depot , which stands some
distance north of the old structure. The
moro room which the road will have west
of the Tenth street \hidiiiit nt that tlmo will
rpttblo the company to eliminate the small
curves In that ceotlon of the > nrds and fa
cilitate the movement of the trains.
Southwest from Hie depot there la nn-
other sharp cnno. It beglna at Twentieth ,
nml reaches Ha maximum at Twenty-
fourth street. The plan of the company , ns
now undurBtood , hi to straighten the line In
that vicinity nnd take out this curve , To
do this It will require n heavy cut , aa the
land adjoining the right of way In that
nelKltboihood iu high , but In an ago when
tlmo Is the principal factor In vallroadlng
an Item of expense Incurred In making cuts
which shorten the line or make faster run
ning posaihlo Is not taken to be nn obstacle.
U la not Bottled that all of these curves
will bo taken out this year , but the wont
will bo commenced , and It may bo next
year before it la completed. The company
lias so much now work on hand at this time ,
largely In Uic shape of improvements to the
existing line , It cunnot nil bo done at oner.
Tho'chunges In the track between the
bridge nnd the depot will bo made first and
will bo completed ns soon as the contract
for filling In the low land Is complete and
really for the track layers. The oilier
changes will follow in duo tlmo.

That all U not harmony in the Port
Arthur railway world Is being shown almc&t
every day. H. F. Jossclyn , who has been
superintendent cf the northern HUM of the
nystcm , with headquarters at Council Blurts ,
has tendered his icMgnatlon. The cause of
thU action on his part Is said to bo duo
to the fui-t that the eastern Interests In
the road ha\u Insisted on the appointment
of E. H. Sluullcr as tisilstant general mana
ger of the northern lines , giving him Juris
diction over Mr. Jossolyn. The hitler's posi
tion may he better understood when It U
said he has had thirty years' experience In
railroading , while Mr. Shauller is reported
to be a young man of 2,1 years , who , up
till thlh time , has held no more responsible
position than that of traveling freight agent
of the toad out of Qulncy.
Mr. Jossolyn gave up a position as gen
eral m.'tiagcr with another road to accept
the Btiperlntendcncy of the northern line's of
the Port Arthur system. When Hobert (511-
l.im , the general manager of the system ,
was appointed ono of ( ho rprnivors of the
roud ho resigned as general manager and
Mr. Josselyn was appointed to the place.
The Hoard of Directors , however , refused to
accept Mr. filllam's resignation and ho has
continued as general manager , leaving Mr.
Joi-sclyii ns fcuperlntendent.
Mr. Jobsclju years ago was engaged In the
railroad business In this section of the coun
try mid during his short term aa superin
tendent with the Port Arthur has added to
his list cf friends both In nnd out of rail
road circles. He has made no plans for the
future , but will continue to robldo nt Coun
cil Bluffs for the present.
H. J. McCarty , general auditor of the Port
Arthur system , has Issued a circular letter
announcing the appointment of II. H. John
son as auditor for the Omaha , Kansas City
& Eastern , completely Ignoring the recent
appointment of O. E. Moore to that position.
No o.\planatlon Is given for this sudden
change In plans.
The reci-lvershlp matters pertaining to this
system will como up again In the federal
court of Missouri In two weeks , after which
it U exported there will bo another shift in
the list of employes.

U Is asserted by labor leaders that the
talk of a strike this summer has been In
spired by outsiders these who have drifted
into South Omaha within the last few
months. The local unions have been mis
represented in some publications and for
IhU reiibon The Uco Is requested to publish
the following :
"At a regular meeting of Local union No.
7112 , American Federation of Labor of
South Omaha , It was reported that parties
professing to represent that body had been
soliciting money for thn purpose of estab
lishing a fund to aid In maintaining n strike
In South Omaha. The public la hereby
notified that no such action has been taken
by thU union and that eald parties arc
frauds of the first water.
"Our body Is In need of no such aid , as
wo do not expect a strike neither at this
tlmo nor In the future , as the Indications
are that there will soon bo plenty of work
for nil.
"Should occasion icqulro us to solicit
aid from the public our solicitous will carry
papers hearing the olllclal seal of the order.
Wo are pleased to state that our union Is in
a nourishing condition and does not dcslro
a strike. "
This communication Is signed by three
members of the committee. It was reported
last week that two persons wcro going
about the city handling subscriptions to a
fund alleged to be for the benefit of a sup
posed htrlko committee. Nearly all cf the
labor unions hero have exposed the Impos
tors and It is thought that they have left
the city.
Every well informed laboring man asserts
that there Is now no trouble existing be
tween the packers nnd the men nnd that
there will bo no trouble this summer.

The telegram from Washington announc
ing that Station C , the new branch post-
olllco on the houth side , has been located
at 170S Vlnton street is something of a
surprise to postolllco officials hero. While
none of them knew of the exact location ,
neaily all wcro of the opinion that tin1
olllco would go Into one of the vacant store
looms at the corner of Sixteenth and Vlnton.
This Is where the street cars on the line
to South Omaha turn , and Is regarded as ono
of the most prominent corners In that portion
tion of the city.
Now that the branch po tolllco on the
south side has been located , Postmaster
Crow will take steps to put It In operation ,
yet ho can do little until the furniture nr-
rivefi. However , ho will district the south
end of the city nnd have a plat prepared
showing tht > territory that will bo dependent
upon Station C for ltd mall.
Up to this tlmo none of the employes have
applied for the position that has been cre
ated by the establishment of the olllre. ThU
delay In applying Is attributed to the tact
that the postmaster will receive but $900
pur year and will bo required to bo on duty
continuously from 7 n. m. until 0 p. m.
every day In the year , with the exception
of Sundays and holidays. If no applica
tions are filed for the position the post
master will bo compelled to select n person.
This person , however , must bo ono of the
employes of the olllce , nnd OH there are none
of them who receive a less salary , the In
dividual securing the appointment will not
be overjoyed.

The March , ISll'l , number of the New Era
contains n very Interesting article entitled ,
'In the Illack Illlls , " by Dorothy N. Law.
The writer having spent a vacation In the
Hack Illlls , undertakes to tell of the pleas
urcs experienced nnd the natural attrac
tions that the Illlls have as n place for
recreation.
She Buys : "Only In a country of the mii-
illude , of Iho United States would It bu
lossiblo for HO Important n health and pleas-
iru resort as these IIol Springs to exist , and
yet be EO llttln known a few hundred miles
iway. That the spot has been designated
n various descriptive publications by the
lassciiKcr department of the railway which
lenetiales this region ns the 'Swltrerland
) f America' Is not surprising. The tt-rm Is
amply justified by the health giving quail
ies of the waters , by the delightful cllmat. )
ind by tin1 beauties of the scenery. Tht'aic
waters , which nio ever Mowing from thn
rock formation , have been tested for many
years by thousands of visitors , and the ver
llct has been unanimous In their favor

iltablo trealnipnt accorded to visitors , lm\o
given the Springs a degree of populailty
inly enjoyed by the most deserving and the
most favored health lesorts of this i-oiin

She also tells of the wonderful Wind Cave
of the bad hinds , and of Iho railway
skirling the eastern nlopo of the niack Illlls
passing through a mituinl opening In the
