Iters the business Is most congested uc

"'tH 0rnana ,0 QHmore, nine miles. Dur
futl,l the past two years we hare built
taouble track ten mile long at Columbus,
U miles at Kearney, sixteen miles at
Orand Island, twenty-five mile from Chey

east, From Heroins, to Laramie, a dis
tance of twenty miles, double track has
aviso been laid. From Bllver Creek, Neb.,
west the grades have been prepared to re
ceive double track fov a Glstance of sev
enty mile.
Will Contlnae West.
"This grading waa completed last sum
mer, and It le my understanding that the
grading will bo continued on weatward
during the coming summer. That portion
which was graded last year will be settled
sufficiently this summer to receive the sec
ond set of rails and they will be laid at
the earliest possible date that It 1 thought
afe to put them down. When the rail
are laid In this district and soma of the
other short gaps are closed up w will have
about 130 mile of continuous double track
ing In the central western portion of the
' state. When you stop to conalder you will
And that with other short stretches this
ill figure up about one-third of the entire
aln line of the system In Nebraska under
double track.
"The work ha been carried on so
qulotly that few people are familiar with
the fact that a policy of double tracking
the entire system Is being gradually car
ried out. It la my opinion, and I under
stand a decision in the matter has been
reached, to begin work immediately when
spring opens, to grade for double track a
distance of twenty-five or thirty miles on
each side of Green River, Wyo, You see,
these double tracks are needed most at
division terminals, where there Is a dis
position for freight to pile up and traffic
become congested; consequently It Is the
policy of the company to first build double
lines out of these places, which has been
done at the point I have mentioned.
Harrlman'a Fixed Policy.
"It was the policy of President Harrl
man a soon as he secured control of the
system to double track the entire main
line of the Union Paclflo. Me realised that
It would be but a few years until the nat
ural Increase in the t raffle of the company
would make the volume so heavy that two
tracks would become necessary,
"I do not believe, however, that the
natural traffic Inorease Is the cause of the
present activity in laying double tracks,
If we look a little farther west we will se
that the Ban Pedro line soon will be com
pleted. Tliia will open up a vast and rloh
field In southern California and when the
added traffic which la poured onto the
Union Paclflo from this source ha to be
handled the management of the company
realise that one set of rail will not be
adequate. Looking at the matter from this
standpoint. It Is my opinion that the Union
paclflo will b double tracked almost the
entire distance from Ogden to Omaha by
the time the San Pedro line la finished.
"I believe the line from Green River to
Ogden. a distance of 176 miles, will be taken
care of first that Is, after the rails on the
grade at Bllver Crook are laid. I think
you will find that when the Ban Pedro line
Is opened the Union Paclflo will be amply
able to care for the additional business
which that road will bring. It cannot very-
well be otherwise. We nave aU the bust
ties w can handle now, and something
must be done to take ears of the Increase.
and In what other way than laying double
track can It be doner"
LITTLE BOY IS BADLY HURT

Clifford, the ft-year-old son of 3. McManl-

MM Burdette street, was hit on the head
by a brick thrown by Henry Qeorge last
night, caualng a depressed fracture of the
Skull. The Injured boy waa taken to
Clarkson hospital and Qeorge to the police
Station.

who Is 14 year old. It seems that some of

It I alleged that they were the persons
who a few weeka ago tore up the side

MOON HITS TH BULL'S EYE
Alpha Taorna Will Re Covered for
a Hoar on Monday
Erratic.
The rrnider will proTnWy remember thnt
on November 6 the moon mndo nn uns'ic-
fessful attempt nt hitting the Pull's Eye,
that Is to say, tho moon came very close
to the brightest star In tho constellation
of the Bull, culled Aldebarnn, or Alpha
Taurl, or the Bull's Eye. She promised
to make amends for her unklllfulnnn on
March 22, and she Is now hero to remind
us of hor promlso.
This time the moon will mnke a stirrers
of It and hit tho Hull's Eyo so well that
she will keep It covered for n whole hour.
She will bo a beautiful crescent only llvo
days old.
The annexed dlngrom will explain the
whole performance. The letters N B E W
are tho cardinal points of the moon's disk,
N being tho direction of tho north star.
The diagram Is to be held in such t war
N
that the point F I on top at 6:41 p. m.
when the star disappear behind the moon
at the point A, and the point T on the
top when the star reappears nt R at 7:44.
The star, therefore, would seem to run
along the line A R, although In reality It
Is the moon that moves while the star 1
stationary. The right part of the moon,
the crescent N W R B will be bright, while
the left, -N T F E A 8, will be dark and In
visible. This will be a novelty to all ama
teur observers because tho star will thus
disappear at the moon's dark edge. The
tar will appear to be at some distance
from the lunar crescent, until, when tho
Important moment comes at 6:48 p. m., It
will disappear with a suddenness that is
apt to start an Inexperienced observer,
This phenomenon Is well worth observ
ing, a It 1 the usual and strong proof
that the moon ho no atmosphere, for If
It had the star would first grow dim or be
displaced laterally by refraction. A the
un sets on that day, Tuesday, March 22,
at 6:85, this Immersion or disappearance
of the star will take place only eight mla
utes after the time of sunset, henoe In such
strong twilight that the naked eye will
probably not be able to see the star near
the moon. 'Any telescope or even opera
glass will, however, remedy thl disad
vantage.
' The star will remain sixty-one minute
hidden behind the moon. At 7:44 It will re
appear at the point R at the moon' bright
edge with the same suddenness with whloh
It disappeared, but owing to the moon'
brightness this auddenness will not be a
startling or as noticeable.
The times of Immersion and emersion,
6:48 and 7:44, apply only to Omaha, so that
If the reader is at some distance he must
be on the lookout sooner if west and later
If east of Omaha. These occultatlons, or
eclipses of star by the moon, are visible
only over a very limited portion of the
earth. We just missed It last November
6, but now we are tight In the star's
shadow. Nothing terrifying will happen,
there will be no earthquake, no cyclone
and no war, but only one of those quiet,
simple but grand and exceptional sights
In the heavena which delight the heart of
every lover of astronomy.

FASCINE PROTECTS THE BANK
Inroad of tho Mlaaonrl River AboTO
East Omaha Am Finally
Cheeked.
Word was brought to Omaha yesterday
that the fascine Installed by the East
Omaha Improvement club on the river bank
a mile east of Florence lake, waa doing
more harm than rood. A. W. Kellner,
president of the Kellner Construction com
pany, who Is doing the work, says the
fascine was tipped over by a sudden break
In the Ice, which snapped on of the cable
by which the big mattress was anchored,
and for a short time did oontribut to the
damage. This wo quickly repaired, and
now the fascine is performing It function
properly.
Mr. Kellner offer to forfeit 8500 to
charity If the work he la Installing doe
not do all he claims for It.
Don't Fool with a Cold.
From the New Tork Bun.
We must repeat our warning against
pneumonia, the most dangerous disease
that prevail In this city, and which I ex
traordinarily prevalent at this time. Be on
the guard at all times against taking cold.
Look out for It If you take It. Gladstone
used to go to bed and send for a doctor
whenever h had a cold, and consequently
he got well In a very short time. The
"Bun" Is right and their warning should b
heeded. For colds there Is nothing better
than Chamberlain' Cough Remedy. It
prevents any tendency of a cold towarl
pneumonia. It always cures and Is pleas
ant and safe to take.
Tailor Form an Usrhanae.
Many of the tailor of the city hava

awarded the sum of I7.S50 by the city as I

Thia could not be helped, but In future ad
ditions he thought the league should see
that the contour or park plan be adopted.
He thought that the bad condition of

ALL CANDIDATES WiLL BE PRESENT
Several Meetings Arc Scheduled, aad
Campaign Opens Lively and with
Good Slsns of Republican
Sncrrea.
The stibcommlttee of the republican city
committee appointed to make arrangements
for meetings reported yesterday that the
Workman Templo hnd been engaged for
a big rally on Friday night, March 25. It
Is understood that Invitations will be Is
sued to Hon. John L. Webster and other
prominent republicans to address this meet
ing. All of tho candldatea are expected to
be present. This will be tho first big rally
of tho campaign.
Other meetings arranged so fnr are Tues
day evening, March 22, at Twenty-seventh
and J streets. March 26 a rally at Kout
sky's hall. In Brown park. March 27 at
the new hall, Thirty-sixth and U streets.
Friday night, April 1, there will be a rally
at Workman Temple. At this meeting a
number' of woll known speakers will de
liver' short addresses and then give way
to the candidates. The republicans appear
to be gaining enthusiasm every day and
big turnouts at all of tho meetings men
tioned ere expected. In addition to the
meetings slated, republicans gathor nt the
headquarters, 81J North Twenty-fourth
street, every evening and talk over the
situation. From reports' given out at
headquarters the prediction Is mado that
the entire republican ticket will bo elected.
Will Cost Money.
The coming spring election will -cost con
siderable money for Judge and clerks, to
ay nothing of the rental of suitable quar
ters, lights and heat. Seven judge and
clerks are assigned to each of the twelve
voting precincts In the city. The munici
pality pays each Judge and clerk 13 per
day. The School Board pay th same
under th law and with th apeotal county
bond election on the same win be paid so
that all Judge and clerks will reoeiv ft
each for their work on election day. This
will make a total of 1758. The county will
pay It portion, th School Board the same,
but the city will be called upon to pay
the regular piioe and then the cost of
renting rooms. While the county clork has
designated the places for holding the
county bond election the locations do not
agree with the Ideas of the city officials.
The Inference Is that the county will come
to some understanding with the city and
that the voting in each precinct will be
done at one place.
Mayor Koutsky said lost night the city
officials were having considerable trouble
In finding suitable places centrally located
for the voting. All of the locations will
be published in the mayor's proclamation,
whloh wlU be Issued In a few days.
Captain Cockrell'a Fnnrral.
A large number of the early residents of
South Omaha gathered at the home of the
lata Peter CockrelU 817 North Twenty-fifth
street, yesterday afternoon, to pay the last
respect to the dead. The floral offerings
were beautiful and numerous and the cas
ket wa draped with the flag. Rev. Leander
Lane, pastor of the Christian church, of
which the deceased was a member, dellv
ered the funeral sermon. Th local lodge
of Odd Fellows attended In a body, and.
along with member of Phil Kearney post
No. 8, escorted the remain to Laurel Hill
cemetery. In compliance with order from
Adjutant General Culver, a firing squad
from th South Omaha cavalry troop
marched In the procession and fired tho
regulation salute as the body was lowered
Into the grave. The firing squad wa com
posed of eight men and waa commanded by
Lieutenant Duncanson.
Foatoin.ee Honrs.
Commencing today the general delivery
and carrier windows will be open from 11 :S0
a. m. until 12:30 p. m. This change has been
made by Postmaster Etter for the purpose
of giving the public better service on Bun-
days. When the windows were opened from
noon until 1 p. m. the lobby was crowded.
By the new arrangement the postmaster
ays that business men will be able to get
their mall before the rush comes. The
keeping open of the stamp and registry
windows an hour later each evening tends
to not only accommodate the public, but
alsa to Increase the receipts of the office.
