MUCH hOW LAID UN THE MAIN LINE Work Is Going on Ualrtlr but Per latently and Progreaaea, Does Ken Ban 1'edro An official of the L'r.lon rucifli, In speak ing of the Inrge Increase In the traffic of that line during the pact year or two, salt: "At present our Increasing business de J ' Bounds more double tracking and It Is my V understanding that It will be the policy of Tg t company to lay another track In plac es Iters the business Is most congested uc earliest possible date. The Union IV Jl'fta at present probably has more double uik than Is suppusod. During the last Jufftrn months the company has been lacu aiitf altllna- In Ita rinnhln frarkaaA and Cor' r ..th olnns row under wir are mm- JIlHU'i ' No. S It will have about 110 miles of the ftel"ne ot ,hc "trm ,n tn'B t.te cago c'1 tw0 nialn-lln tracks. Siv- rom rear ago double tracks were laid "'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 nn west and six miles from Cheyenne 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 I .aXraelc 1 aelc by a Brick Harlosl by Another hsslsa Into Gaag; of Tsrassttn, Clifford, the ft-year-old son of 3. McManl- gal. a lineman in the employ of the Ne braska Telephone company, residing at 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. According to the story of Henry George, who Is 14 year old. It seems that some of the boy of the neighborhood have formed a.n organisation and, among other things. make life unpleasant for a newcomer. Qeorge cam to Omaha about a week ago, nd, for the time being, the only strange boy In the district, he ha received the un divided attention of the "club." Last night as he was returning from the grocery tore, he says, a number of the boys met him and proceeded to throw stones at him, He waa chased to his home, a few block away, but as the gang showed Indications Of Invading hla territory he picked up a brick and threw into the crowd, lUttlng Gilford McMunigal on the head. The In Jured boy It seems did not have anything to do with the "club," but had been sent to the store and, seeing George chased. It Is presumed followed the others. This gang of boys have been the terror QuaJity is on the Bcrx If you Want full viOaa for yemr monfry insist on the Genuine IVelsbach Mantles. SJOnas'iS,2a 25. 30,35? a.

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. WM. F. RIOGE, B. J., Crelghton University Observatory, 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.

Mr. Turner had been awarded the sum of I7.S50 by the city as I damagea to his property through the con- structlon of the boulevard which Is to cross Curtlss Turner park at Thirty-first and I Farnam streets.

The writer said that the city should have been laid out with contour streets and not In rectangles, necessitating much grading, 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 streets and alleys Is In part due to the ex pense of getting wagons to remove rubbish. He suggested that the league buy soma dump carts which the publlo would be able to hire cheaply for this work, Toward the vacant lot and best kept yard contest prises were offered-for the Fourth ward, Dr. Glfford and Dr. Ralph: for the Slxth.

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.
