ELEVATE INSTEAD OF VIADUCT JAP SOPRANO PROVES WORTH
Th Missouri Pacific has agreed
upon a plan to eliminate the haz
ard in connection with the Dodge
atreet crossing of the Belt Line. This
la the assertion of Superintendent
ltoea of the Nebraska division of the
"Missouri Pacific, who spent a portion
of Che dar in Omaha. Discussing it.
Superintendent Russ said:
"Our eblef engineer is pretty well along
with the plans that will not only dis
pose) of tbs Dodge street creasing, but
also thaDouglas and Farnam street
crossings of the Belt line. His plans wilt
be ready for presentation within a short
time. Instead of providing (or a viaduct
at Dodge street, the plana contemplate
raising the main line track from a point
oath of Farnam to a point north of
Dodge street. This will permit of street
crossings to be kept at, or about, the
present grades, with the railroad track
overhead.
W hope that the plana that we have
agreed upon and which are being worked
out wtll be satisfactory to the city. We
eoostder that the grade crossings will he
far more desirable than viaducts and
much lesa expensive to maintain.
"Wttille I am not at liberty to make
promises, or guarantee fheir being car
ried out, I feel protty certain that work
on the elevation of the track from south
of Farnam to north of Dodge street will
bo commenced and finished this rear."
The Missouri Paclflo, says Superintend
ent Russ, has started relaying Its track
between Falls City and Atchison, putting
down new and heavier steel at the rate
of about a mile per day. When this gap
! completed. It will give the company a
new track all the way from Omaha to
Kansas City, the line between Omaha
and Falls City having been relald last
year.
On the Nebraska branches, according to
Bupertntenaent hum, snout uw miiee or
new rails will be laid thla year, replacing
lighter ones.
Ada Belle is Now
Loading to Start
on TriD to Omaha
Lortng 01 In his bed at Dex-atnr. John
Elliott of the Farmers State bank, has
given order for the Ada Belle to begin
it operations up and down the Missouri
river.
The Ads, Belle haa lain In dock at De
catur all winter. Now that the ice Is
gone Decatur business men and farmers
are anxious that she Mart plying between
Omaha and Decatur to carry cargoes of
grain as- she did last summer. John
Elliott is the head of the Decatur com
pany that handles this traffic.
'For heaven's sake get the boat
started," Commissioner Manley of tbe
Omaha Commercial club called to Elliott
over the long distance telephone. Elliott
flat on his back in bed, talked to Manley
ovr 'the' long distance, and promised he
would get: the captain Into action with
the boat.
The barges are even now being loaded.
ami Mr. Elliott has promised that the
first cargo will reach Omaha before th
end of this week.
Dr.Eox Will Make
. Survey of State
Dr. J. C, Fox of th Federal Health de
partment at Washington .Is gathering
data here in connection with a survey
he is making of the state. He Is main
taining an office at the state house and
expects to be In Nebraaka another month.
The doctor came on the request of the
governor, his mission being to go over
th state situation and recommend what
should be done to build up an efficient
and practical state board of health.
"There is no duly constituted state
health officer at this time end I find that
the relations between the etate board of
health and the four secretaries are not
clearly defined," said Dr. Fox.
vThe national government has made aur-
veys In ten other states and an effort is
being made to standardise the adminis
tration of state health regulations, that
th government work may be better ap
plied by the various state organisations.
. Governor Horehead expects to bring be
fore th next legislature a definite propo
sition for tbe establishment of a stable
atat health department.
Mrs. E. A. Bachelder of New Tork.
representing the Boston Orend Opera
Company and Pavlowa Ballet nusse, haa
arrived In Omaha, enroute from the Ta
Hflc coast, where the combined organ
isation haa been playing to enthusiastic
audiences and crowded houses She le
Clares the success of the company on the
coast has been remarkable. In San
Francisco last week not only were the
houses sold out before the season com
menced, hut 1.0 premium was paid.
"The entire coast, more than eastern
opera goers, were sceptical of the Jap
anese Butterfly," says Mrs. Bachelder.
"'In that section of the country all Jap
anese are looked upon with little favor,
and there were preliminary smiles and
dellrate sneers when they were told that

"This jreat organisation la coming. Into
Omaha purely on Its own responsibility,
backed by Its own capital, not asking
any local committee to guarantee a large
sum of money, it la coming In on ita own
merits. The reputation that haa been
created by the remarkable praise from
the press and the people has preceded
them over the country in a sufficient
degree, so that Omaha Itself, has re
s ponded by the largest advance sale In
grand opera history of this city.
One of the secrets of the success of
our organisation," she continued, 'Is the
fact that the performances are artla
tlcally finished In every sense of the
word. It has been th surprise and de
light of critics and lovers of art to find
that every minor character of the cast
In each opera is as well sung and acted
accordingly as that of the star who occu
plea the middle of the stage.
Whether our tour haa had anything
to do with It or not, there ia a general
progressive demand over America for the
people to secure the best In music . or
opera without the xpenee of a tour to
New Tork or Chicago. There Is a grasp
ing for greater understanding snd knowl
edge of good music by the general public
This season more eitlsens have organized
their own symphony orchestras than ever
before has been done in a single year
In the history of this country.
"It was a souroe of mueh gratification
to me to see an audience in Omaha so
thoroughly appreciative of an artist as
the one at th Auditorium last night. I
saw but three people whisper during Mr.
Kreisler's performance. It might have
been a symphony audience in Cincinnati
or Boston.
"We are so well satisfied with th In-
te-eat and enthusiasm already shown ur
organization In. Omaha that I. regret we
are unable to obtain the Auditorium for
r fourth performance. I called on Mr.
Hi?n"anrtMT.The.mi:of the Anti-Saloon
league' to see if It would be possible, to
mske arrangements for them to postpone
their meeting at the Auditorium on April
15, but they stated that arrangements had
been made with William Jennings Bryan
for tbat date and It would be impoasible
to make the change."

CHAPTKR XI.
Were you watchman for that build
ing?"
No. sor. Thev had their own mail
to keep an eye out for the bulls, but It
was that very night thev were pulled.
Tim, the policeman at the corner, had
wised me tip to It only an hour before.
Stick around, Denny.' says he. 'there
will be big doln's Boon. They're goln' to j
raid Barker's." sea he. "and I'll bet wc j
pull a few big bugs, or my name Is raaid.'
So I was kind of hannln" around
waltln' when I aee this other fellow rosled
In the alley. First off. 1 sea. he a a plain I
clothes man. Then I looks at his feet and !
I eajya nix. he's a gumshoe crook, an. I !
then the girl comes down Ihe fire escape."
"When the girl had disappeared Into
Barker's, what did you do?"
"I joined Katie and says to her. anll
T. 'It's goln' to be a big night, and that
girl has Jumped out of the fryln'-pan Into
the fire.' And, begorra, aor, I'd no more
than aald it than I heard thn signal blow
and saw the bluecoats marchln' up thn
alley and across the street at the end
surroundln' the place. "Oood night to
Barker's,' says 1; and we watched 'cm
batter in the door and march up stairs.
It was then that I felt the other man
tuggln' at me arm."
The other man?" It was more an ex
clamation than a question and Dennis
nodded.
"Pure, the feller that had been standln'
some place In the shadows. 'Wot are the
prrltee after?" he says, all hoarse like.
"Who are they lookln' fer the girl" 'Not
on your life." says I. "they're raJdln' Par
ker's ' 'Barker's?' say he, as If he'd
never heard of the place. 'I ! thought
the trouble waa In the hotel. I I -hear 1
a shot." 'Then,' ss 1. you've got one
on me. fer with hII these auttvmoblles
listtuln" ahont. tlie man that kin tell a
bullet from a tire haw some ears." 'Vnu'r
Hunt." enys he. -1t wss probably a tire.
And he laughs: then he slunk away, as
If he didn't like the perllce even If they
weren't doln' anything but raid a gam
hlln Joint."
, 'Van you describe that men?"
"No. He was kind of fattlsh, and short.
He looked like the sort of a feller that
hits em up considerable, hut I didn't take
partlcilsr notice, sor"
"Did you and M'aw O'Neill remain In
the alley after he had gone?"
"Yes, for the police had run up the
shades and we could see right Into Bar
ker's place. Then ! seen the girl again."
"To you mean Mlsa Page?"
"Yes, sor; leastwise, I suppose It waa
her. She was standln' with her handa
over her face, and one of the police
men 1"rls 'em down and turns to another
one and says, says he. 'Is this the girl? I
could hear plain even dom-n In the street,
hut the other bull seemed pusxled. 'It
looks like It might he." he says, 'espe
cially the glad rags, but ahe ain't got
Maggie's ear maj-ks." Than he grabs tho
Hlrl by the arm and says. "Wots your
name?' But she didn't snswer. Just
moans, and at that he laughs and says,
Playln' dumb, eh? fame old game. Now
I'm dead sure you are Maggie Hale that
hums around the restaurants snd hooks
the sin kera Well If you won't talk to
us, you can tell it to the Judge.' And with
that he marchea her away where we
couldn't see her."
"Just a minute, Mr. Oallagher," Inter
rupted Irfingdon. "Iefs return to that
fattlsh man In the alley. Did he come
up the street with the police?"
"No. sor. He was alongside o me by
that time."
"Then he came from the other end of
the street?"
Dennis scratched Ms heed.
