TO EXTEND TRACKAGE DURING SUMMER HaUdlng of O Street Viaduct Open Wr for Kxteuslve Alterations and Additions to Local witch Yard. A party of Union I'aoitic officials visited South Omaha yesterday and looked over the plana tor the new trackage to be luld thin year. Among the party waa J. M. Uruber, general superintendent, V. A. Deuel, super intendent, and E. Buckingham, superin tendent of transportation, all of Omaha. A couple of Union Pacific civil engineers ac companied the superintendents. The work on the new O street viaduct was looked over and It Is asserted that the Union Pa cific will build Its freight depot on Railroad avenue Just north of the viaduct. As for the passenger station, It is presumed thut this will be placed Just south of O street, as this tract of land was looked over with the purpose of laying, lines for the con struction of f. depot between the O street and the Q street viaducts. All of the plans ao far drawn for switch and sidetracks were gone over by the vlxltors and the un derstanding la that they will be accepted, with possibly few modifications. There seema reason to believe that the old Hammond plant will be rasod and that the ground now occupied by the buildings will be turned over 'to the railroads fur trackage purposes. The statement has gone forth that Just as soon as the O street viaduct is completed and opened to trafTlo the railroad tracks from the X. street viaduct to the north line of U will be fenced In and ail travel to and from the stockyards will go over the bridge. Decidedly Healthy Winter. Reports on file at the office of the secre tary of the local Hoard of Health so far this winter show that less contagious din eases have been reported tlinn for two year.

The city. In my opinion, s In a good sanitary condition and while all the regulations of the health depart ment are not strictly adhered to by prop erty owners there la a general observance of the orders Issued. This winter so far has been one of the healthiest In some time. Of course this statement relates es pecially to contagious diseases."

William Rowley, who Is considered an ex pert accountant, has been engaged to check the books of the city treasurer and the city clerk. This work of checking commenced yesterday. Mr. Rowley made a short ex amination of the 'books and then stated that It would take him two months at least to get through with the work. He said that the treasurer's books had not been checked for two years and It Is the sumo with the books of the city clerk. Generally the books have been checked each year, but last spring as all of the officials held over there seemed to be no necessity for such an expenditure of money. When the books are checked each year an accountant is paid about 1300, the pay depending upon the amount of work performed. This year, with two years' checking to be done. It is surmised that the cost will be double the usual sum. Teachers Paid Friday. City Treasurer Howe will pay the teach ers In the public schools on Friday after noon of thla week for services rendered during the month of February. Janitors will not be paid until after March 1.

NEW SCALES AT LOCH FREIGHT HOUSES F.verjr Shipment Less Than Carload Will Hare to Pass Over These Scales, According to re order. The latest order put Into effect by J. M. Oruber. general superintendent of the Union Pacific, Is one which concerns the weighing of local freight shipments at the freight house of the company In Omaha. Seven scales have been installed at the freight houses which are built especially for this kind of work and every package of freight which goes out or comeH In as less than a csrload shipment, will have to pass over one of these scales. It Is suld the weighing system has been so arranged that no delay will be occasioned by the new order and that everything will pass off as smoothly as before tho scales were in stalled. The custom has been to accept the weight given by the shipper on the' bill of lading, but by tests, railroad officials say, it was discovered In almost every instance these weights were under the actual weight of the package, and consequently the rail roads were losing the freight on the dif ference. It Is estimeated a saving of alKiut 1125. fM) per year will be made by the railroads using the freight depots of the Union Pa cific. These roads are tho Hock Island, Milwaukee, Northwestern, Union Pacific ami Great Western. The system was In stalled Wednesday, and In weighing the shipments which went Into one car of local shipments It was found that K- was saved In freights to the railroad. At the F.nd of Its Mrlna;. Local freight men believe) that the North western Is at the end of Its string In the cutting of grain rates and that no further cuts In the through rates from Nebraska points will be announced. . The rates now In effect from Nebraska points on the line of tho company to the Mississippi river are so low that another cut of 2 cents will brhig the.m in many cases lower than the local rate inio Omaha. The rate on corn from several stations In the state to Omaha ia now 12 cents and the through rate on the same cereal to the Mississippi river is 13'4 cents, consequently a cut of 2 cents would make the rate to the river 114 cents or H-cent lower than the local Into this city. "One of the provisions of the Interstate commerce law is that .a higher rate cannot be charged for a short haul than for a Ions! one, and If the Northwestern compiled with the lnw, after making a further reduction of 2 cents. It would be forced to lower Its local rates Into this city," said a local official, "which is Just what the Great Western desires to force it to do, as that would bring the grain to Omaha on the lower rate and take it away from com peting points, thus affording an opportunity for the Great Western to compete for the business." It Is believed that Mr. Stlckney will keep his promise of lowering the Chicago rate to 1 cent, if necessary, and in case he did this, after the Northwestern mado another cut of 2 cents, that line would be forced to lower Its through rates to a point where the local rates would have to be cut from J to E cents per 100, so It is concluded that. the Northwestern has reached a point In the tight where It will have to sue for peace or adopt some other tactic than that of cutting the through grain rates. It Is generally believed that. In view of the pres ent money losing situation in which the roads find themselves, that the executives st the meeting which will be held In Chi cago will patch up an armistice, and prob ably conlude the war.

A certain business man In Omaha thinks he has Just cause for complaint against the practice of rapid driving on the busy thoroughfares of the city though, strange to say, he Is not sure of It. He has been limping around on crutches for several dnys and thinks, but cannot swear, that his condition Is directly due to this prac tice. "If I knew. It'd be bad for someone, for I've had the time of my life trying to ac count for my condition," the unfortunate man remarked to a friend. The friend was considerably hpwildered at the situation and wanted to know all about It. . "That's It," rejoined, the cripple, much an noyed; "my wife wanted to know all about It when I was rolled Into my house the next morning, and I couldn't tell her, al though my conscience was as clear as crystal, and my head. too, for that matter. "I'll tell you all "I know about It," he continued. "I was on my way home the other night when sudVenly my lamps went out; 1 couldn't see a wink and before 1 knew what was the matter 1 was uncon scious. When 1 came to, it was day and I was lying comfortably In the office of Dr. (naming a very prominent phy sician).

Alfred Millard of the Commercial National bank Is annoyed at the report of the coun cil committee meeting held last Monday evening to discuss the market house situ ation, in which report he Is said to have referred to the opponents of the Capitol avenue sit as "the Howard street gang." "I am sure I used no such expression or said anything that could have been taken as offensive," says Mr. Millard. "I walled on the council In company with Joseph Hayden, W. V. Morse. Judge Neville, Frank N. Clarke and F. B. Kennard to present the side of those who wish the full results to be had from the new market house on Capitol avenue. I spoke first and perhaps more than the others, but I have no personal feeling In the matter and discussed it sim ply as a business proposition. The contest between the advocates of Howard street and Capitol avenue Is a fight of business In terests, and I recugnixe that our opponents have the same right to protect their In terests that we have, providing that they resort only to legitimate means. The men named above will bear me out that I said nothing disrespectful, and the reporter either misunderstoid me or has been im posed upon by some unfriendly person."

Winn, charged with the murder of his friend, Dan Cashln. at South Omaha, and against whom damaging evtdence was given at the session of the court Wednes day afternoon, entered court yesterday smoking a fragrant cigar and smiling broadly. To the colored contingent of citi zens who know him and the man he is nlleged to have murdered, and who have been in constant attendance during the three days of tho trial, Winn bowed and smiled repeatedly and took his seat with a Jauntlness and apparent freedom from care or worry as to his fate that he might have borne had the occasion been one of comedy Instead of .tragedy. When the coming In of the court mudo the extinguishment of his cigar necessary the prisoner threw it away with a lingering look of fondness, and as Dr. Thomas Kelly, the first witness of the day, told of the autopsy on the body of Cashln and the detallB of the wound that he swore caused his death, Winn looked about the court roum and twirled his mus tache with no apparent interest in the story or the proceedings. Dr. Kelly said that he found a wound made by a bullet In nearly the center of the back of Cashln's head that extended for about four Inches Into the brain, where the bullet waa found lodged. In Its passage It pierced the right lobe of the cerebrum and was found In third ventricle, a. cavity between the two lobes of the brain and near the forehead of the dead man. When cross examined as to how long a man could live after having received such a wound the witness said that If he were standing still he would. In all probability, drop dead in his tracks, but that If he were running or walking he might take two or three or pos sibly five steps. Corroborates the Testimony, Dr. C. K. Sepp, city physician of South Omaha, testified that he made the autopsy with Dr. Kelly and corroborated In detail the evidence that the latter had given. The county attorney announced at the conclusion of Dr. Bepp's examination that the state rested Its ease on the evidence submitted. Counsel for tho plaintiff made a motion thnt the Jury lie taken to the scene of the shooting, which, was overruled by the court on the ground that no proof had been offered thut the grounds were In the same condition as November Z, when the bhootlng took place. Mr. Murphy, counsel for the defense, took the stand and estab lished this fact, after wldch the Jury went to South Omaha in the charge of a deputy. Winn's line of defense la that he shot Cashln accidentally. His counsel attempts to show that Winn struck at Cashln, hav ing a pistol in his bund, but with no inten tion of shooting Cashln, and that the pistol accidentally went off. Kfforts are being made to establish the good character of Winn. The defendant will take tiie stand later in his behalf.
