somcly bound book Just Issued by A. II.
Comstock, In which Union Pacific officials
are particularly Interested because of an ex
haustive article on the "Union Pacific Club
on Wheels," prepared by Alfred Dnrlow of
tbo passenger department. The book con
tains a rostor of ofllcors and members of
the clubs of Omahn, Including tho Commer-
lal, Klks, Metropolitan, Omaha, Country,
Turn-Verotn Wheel and Whist clubs. The
passenger department of the Union Pacific
will send out a large number of copies of
tho book.
The vanguard of the sixty now engines
ordored by tho Union Pnclllc last March ar
rived In Omaha yesterday. There are two of
them and they have been tho object of much
Interested curiosity to englno men and op
erating officials. A largo forco of maohln
lstn has been employed getting them In
nhape for ncrvtco and they will be given a
trial tcit tomorrow.
Tho onglnes aro a now type, known as the
foilr-cyltador compound consolidated. They
aro manufactured by tbo Daldwln Locomo
tive works and'prototypes In use on eastern
roads liavo given such great satisfaction that
r.n order for sixty of them was made by the
Union raclflc. It Is Intended to uso them
exclusively on tho mountain districts of the
Union Pacific in Wyoming between Lnramlo
nnd Evanston. They will replace the en
gines of tho 1700 class now used on tho
"Wyoming division nnd theso will he brought
to the Nebraska division for freight service.
Tho engine are numbered 1623 and 1621.
Two of tbo four cylinders are high pressure
nnd tho other two low pressure. Tho high
prcesuro cylinders aro fifteen and one-halt
Inches In diameter, the low pressure cylln
dors twenty-six Inches In dlamoter. Doth
havo a thirty-inch stroke. Tho driving
wheels aro fifty-seven inches In diameter
nd support a weight of 100,000 pounds. Tho
weight of the engine Is 1S0.000 pounds: tank
105,000 pounds: the total weight of engine
and tank, ready for service, being 285,000
pounds. Tho tank has u capacity of 5,000
gallons of water and nlxteen tons of coal,
Tho working boiler preisuro Is 200 pounds
of steam to tho squaro Inch. There are a
total of 300 boiler tubes, each two Inches In
diameter and thirteen feet nix Inches In
length.
Tho builders of these compound consoli
dated cnglnen claim for their use a great
FRvlug of fuel. They aro designed for heavy
freight servlco In mountainous districts and
for ttis reason are peculiarly adapted for
tho servlco which tho Union Pacific Intends
for them.
The chief distinction between tho new
tyro represented by theso compound consol
ldatcd engines and the locomotives now In
use by tho Union Pacific is that tho now ones
havo four cylinder, double tho number pos
tered by tho old ones. In theso tho steam
goes from tho high to the low pressure cyl
lndere, thus providing an economy of powor
as well as greatly Increasing the capacity
of the steam pressuro utlllred, In all of the
engines now used by tho Union Pacific the
eteam Is utilized In but one pair of cylinders
those having the high pressure, and tho ad
dltlon of thoo having tho low pressure
malting poslblo virtually doublo service for
tho steam employed, appeals to practical en
etna men as an Invention promising wholly
satisfactory results,
Officials of tho Union Pacific operating do
paftment expect tho order for these now en
filnca to bo llllcd at tho rate of two per
week. Tho recond two aro now on the way
As soon as each order Is received and the
cnglnrv made ready for servlco they will ho

could remember a July during which the con
tractors were so genernlly employed a nt

more work woh In proapect for tho fall

for all that. In addition to the Kingman

The special committee of tho Knights of
Ak-Sar-Hen having In charge tbo auxiliary
entertainment to be known as tho Oriental
and Industrial Carnival, comprising Georgo
P. Cronk, Kdgar Allen, Mel, Uhl and T. P.
Gctz, hos Issued Its prospectus for carnival
week, continuing from September 21 to Sep
tember 29. This carnival will bo held ns an
adjunct to the u.iual annual parades nnd
bids fair to ecllpso those stellar events in
brilliancy nnd sensational Interest, reviving
ns It will many of tho animated scenes, ex
periences and attractions that made tho
midway of tbo Transmlsslsslppl exposition
memorable. Tho resources of tbo Knights
of Ak-Sar-Den will bo taxed to make It the
most unique nnd novel exhibition ever given
nnywhoro, surpassing in many respects tho
midways of both expositions. Every citizen
of Omaha will lend his hearty co-oporatlon
to that end.
Tho scene of tho Orlentnl carnival will bo
the vacant block bounded by Eighteenth
nnd Nineteenth Btreets east nnd west nnd
by Douglas and Dodge otrccts north nnd
south. It will overflow Into tho streets and
vacant spaces In tho territory reaching to
Nineteenth street on tho west nnd Farnam
streot on tho south. Tho Ak-Sar-ltcn com
mlttco will erect throughout this territory
substantial booths with waterproof roofs
and adequate floors for exhibitors nnd ap
plications aro now rolling In for space for
commercial and manufacturing exhibits
Tho booths will ho ten feot high and ten
feet deep nnd will bo gaily decorated for
tho carnival. Many flno exhibits, wherein
Omaha's manufacturing enterprises will ex
empllfy tho active workings of their cstab
llshmcnts, nre promised.
Clown nml (iundy lloolli.
Drag nets aro out for the very cleanest
nnd moHt captivating amusement features.
There will bo a daylight parade of bands,
lloate, comedy and Industrial features, and
tho funnleat end most entertaining vaude
ville attractions will be given on platforms
eroded In the open streets, without money
or price. Clowns will preambulate the
carnival preulncts at will and dog and pony
ahowH will be everywhere. Free street
Bhows will bo given every hour In different
sections of tbo carnival grounds, and each
day will bring forth Kb special attractions
of absorbing Interest, which will bo given
In the main arena In tho center of tho now
vacant square. The Oriental' carnival mid
way, with' Its wlerd and brilliant nccountre
menls, lis charms and mysteries, grotesque
people and rcnoundlng bally-hoos will ho a
distinctive feature of the carnival, and con
cfBslons are now being sold to promoters
of many sterling attractions Cure Is being
taken to exclude anything that might prove
repulsive to tbo most ticnsltlvo vloltor.
This carnival will be morcly an adjunct to
tho annual purades, which will he grander
In their elcctrlo novelties and brilliancy
this year than ever before Omaha haB
outdone nil other pIIUh In Its electrical
paradrn and will continue to lead the demon
Htratloiifl In rarnival cities. The Oriental
and Industrial Carnival of thin year Is a
concession to the super-critical patrons and
promoters, who havo demanded something
in tho way of an attraction in addition to
the parades. It has never been cuatomary
to annouuee the character of tbo grand pa
rades in advance, nnd until they burst Into
view the public has been permitted to spec
ulate upon the nature of the demonstration
promised them. This year, however, the
official program of the purudes will appear
In The Illustrated Deo a week In udvance
of tho opening demonstration.
The carnival grounds will be adequately
policed and will be supplied with Are pattol
and emergency hospital, whllo toilet and re
tiring rooms for women and children will
be maintained. The grounds are convenient
to all tho car lines, and It Is anticipated that
the attractions oi the carnival and the ever
hrllllant nnd costly Ak-Sar-Ilen parades will
bo witnessed by not lets than 500.000 people.

Tho now Gtenson & Halley aerial truck
recently purchused for Hook and Ladder
company No. 1 was given Its first tefit at
tho city hall yesterdny. Ladders were
raised to the top of the city building and tho
new truck worked to tho entlro satisfac
tion of Chief Kcdell. It carries 315 feet of
ladder, or 145 moro than tho old truck, nnd
has an extension ladder that reaches to a
height of eighty-five feet.
Although tho now truck carries such a
great length of ladder, It Is equipped with
roller licarlngH and can bo hauled with less
power than tho old truck. Tho ladders nre
raised with sprocket gear, Blmllar to bl
cyclo gear, nnd dirt and dust hna no effect
on the gearing, as Ih the caso with the old
fashioned screw gear formerly used on
trucks. In raising ladders the power on
this machine ie applied to the center of the
ladder b means of loverngo arm, which
reduce tho amount of power necessary to
ralso ladders and Increase the speed greatly.
Tho cost ,of tho now truck was $3,SB5.
Hcsides the Clghty-ltve-foot ladder, It car
ries a sixty-foot loddor nnd another fifty
feet In length. Four men can raise ladders
on tho truck In caso no moro firemen are
available, and with practice Chief Itodcll
expects to bo ablo to ralso the long ladder
to Its full height In ono minute,
them to do the work In addition to their

Barber
Aaphalt Paving Company Must
Wait for Its Pay.
Officer Dan Daldwln has bought a now
pair of green knickerbockers and a pair of
tan cycling shoes that button clear down to
tho Ingrowing toenail. Ho has discarded
his helmcnt for a little fried-egg Jockey
cap, because tho latter offers less resistance
to tho wind, and hereafter any horse-fancier
who essays to speed his animal on the
Doulcvard, or any ono making an auto
mobllious attempt to lower tho record on
that poulticed avenuo, will be promptly
overtaken and mercilessly pinched.
This 'Is In accordance with an order Just
Issued by Chief df Police Donahue. He says
scorching Is becoming altogether too com
mon on the boulevard, and that every- flno
evening between 7 30 nnd 10 o'clock ,the
driveway Is perverted into a racecourse.
It Is full durins those hours, ho says, of
wild-eyed tandems and fool-hardy lovers
of horseflesh, who whoop 'or up and seek to
nnnlhllato space and anything else that
may bo In their way. At such times tho
locality Is about as salutary as a Komati
arena during a chariot event.
And out of all the forco Dan naldwln, tho
Snndow, has been rhosen to nbato the
nuisance. There aro various reasons for
this. In tho first place, Dan Is among the
few hluecoats who nro broken to bicycle
clothes. And then, ho rides a 1000 model
geared up to 120, so that the tondereet caress
of tho pedals Is like dallying with tho hair
trigger of a cannon.
It is understood that Sergeant Dehout
volunteered for this service provided thoy
would furnish him a bicycle with three
wheels, His application was placed on flic.
Dan, given bis choice between n long
handled boat book and a horse-hair lariat,
chose the latter, and will go Into training

to Issue warrants to tbo Harbor Asphalt
company In payment for $24,000 worth of
paving on Cuming street between Thirty
second and Fortieth streets. This sum was
Included in the appropriation ordinance

council was notified that tho city would ho
oxpectcd to pay damages for the death of
Austin Ileeder, an 8-yenr-old boy who wns
drowneil July 18 In a pond at tho corner of

tho pond In which tho boy was drowned
was formed by tho grading of Eighth ond
0k streets In such, a manner that the
natural flow of water was partially ob
structed. A culvert, constructed to carry
away this water, Is said to have been neg
lected by the city In such u manner that It
afforded no outlet for tho water.
